AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 6.44.030, 20.06.050, 20.24.030, 20.32.030, 20.30.030, AND 20.06.070 TO REDEFINE "AMUSEMENT ARCADES," TO DEFINE "RENT- AL CAR STORAGE LOTS," TO DEFINE "RENT- AL CAR FLEET MAINTENANCE," TO PERMIT RENTAL CAR STORAGE AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE P-C PLANNED COMMERCIAL ZONE DISTRICT AND THE P-I PLANNED IN- DUSTRIAL DISTRICT, AND TO PERMIT RENT- AL CAR FLEET MAINTENANCE AS A CONDI- TIONAL USE IN THE M-1 INDUSTRIAL ZONE DISTRICT PUBLIC HEARINGS City Clerk Battaya read the title f the ordinance in its entirety. Councilman Penna stepped down from the podium due to his being a realtor. Mayor Mullin opened the Public Hearing. Chief Panner Harnish related: That the definition of arcade came as a request of a number of businesses and the number to be maximized as five or fewer, or six or more; the Police Department supports this, for they are the Department that regulates these usages; at the present time it is arbitrary number, while the Police support five, as does the Planning Commission. Discusssion followed: at what point, if there is a problem, what will transpire; staff assumes it would become an enforcement problem and staff would come back for modification; staff would say five are permitted by right, and with six you have to get a permit; staff would not regualte or control the five if a complaint came, it would be from the public, so the enforcement would come with the complaint; according to the survey several business are current- ly in violation and have to reduce the number; they would have to get a permit; is this due to a lack of information on the owners part or is this in violation because by and large there are more violations-what is the penalty; the Police do a penalty if they refuse to get a permit, then they can cease the machines; the study was done by the Police because they were not aware of how many violations there were; after the survey was done some people pulled the ma- chines, while others did not; the police decided to hold off in case there is a change in the Municipal Code and then go back and tell them what the law is and they have to comply; does staff know the own- ers knowingly knew they were in violation or were they not informed by the City; Staff is not sure; a study was made in 1982 and most places had a limit of three; so any business with more than two ma- chines needs a permit; Mayor Mullin, as a school teacher, is aware of the fact that these machines are not viable on school days, but he personally has a problem with the length of time indicated that chil- dren spend with these machines; it appears that most of the machines are not owned by the business, and 11/24/98 Page 6 AGENDA ,_.EUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing - Continued. 11/24/98 Page 7 ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS wants more than two owned by the business, and there is a sharing arranged with the owners; there is a distinction from the use permit and what the Chief recited; any facility that wants more than two ma- chines requires a use permit; each machine over two has to have a permit; many of the machines are in liquor establishments and some are in hotels; some owners do not want to play the six hundred dollars and going through the use permit process; why not use the minor use permit process and have the fee lesser; Mayor Mullin would be reluctant to see the 711 across from the High School put in five ma- chines, for that is detrimental, however, if they put it in a Fairway bar that is not a problem; City Attor- ney Mattas stated the Council could make this sub- ject to a minor use permit, and it could be done in a more expeditious fashion by staff; Mayor Mullin would be receptive to increasing it from two to three and anything over three would fall under the permit process just described with a minor use permit; in 1982 three became the number even though five was recommended; why is this a police problem, the merchants are recommending this, which in the early 80s was done, and we were below the average based on the reduction and now the Police Depart- ment is recommending six; the Planning Commis- sion discussed having five machines, then brought it down to three and the planners had no problem with five machines; the planners wanted to know if it was close to schools; there are still a lot of kids playing the games, but now a lot of the kids have it at home; staff is looking at it for the hotels who are looking to entertain the kids with one or two ma- chines and a pool table; Councilman Fernekes asked for a review of 2, 3, 4 and 5 machines; Chief Plan- ner stated staff can come back with language at a subsequent meeting; City Attorney Mattas stated as the Council works on the second item he will revisit the issue, but is there direction to proceed; Council- man Fernekes can support it; Vice Mayor Datzman stated it was pretty controversial; Mayor Mullin asked staff to move to the rental car storage while the City Attorney is occupied. Chief Planner Harnish related: this will create a new definition of rental car fleet maintenance as a conditional use in the M-1 District, and allow rental car storage as a conditional use in the P-C District and allow rental car storage lots as a conditional use AGENDA PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued. 11/24/98 Page 8 A_.C T I O N TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS in the P-I Zone District; concern over the use of property in the City for storage of rental vehicles; staff comes up with a consistent definition and refer- ences their approach to the storage of autos and the definition staff is proposing of an ancillary use that could be a related business; once this definition is in place the recommendation is also for permitting of it only under freeways and that would apply Citywide; the second element is to address fleet maintenance and we do not currently have a definition and it seems to be an increasing potential in the City, so staff felt it would be appropriate to include it and regulate it consistent to how they regulate others; so this amendment adds this definition and provides that a use permit be allowed, so there is a discre- tionary permit needed. Discussion followed: what is meant by truck stops and commercial autos; that is not a change; it is where trucks go to refuel, and maybe park over night; it is only defining truck stops; this appears in this exhibit only because it shows the types of use; this public hearing was noticed and rental car fleet businesses, plus Hertz, were notified. Mr. Dario de Ghetaldi, Atty. stated he represents Hertz and related: his client is really not pleased and is coming from S.F. to S.S.F. and is finding himself having to oppose the City's zoning ordi- nance; he did not find the proposed changes to the ordinance clear, and wants to make sure he under- stands them before he talks about them; he made reference to the last paragraph in the staff report, today's date, says that the proposed would continue to allow agencies to transact business on the site, but preclude from all zone districts unless they are in the East of 101; the ordinance as drafted appears to set a limit on something that is called off-site trans - actions and he wants to make sure that if more than 70% is transacted, the car rental on site then this ordinance, the proposed amendment, affects the car rental storage or it does not affect those businesses. City Attorney Mattas stated he agreed with that. Mayor Mullin asked if Atty. de Ghetaldi was going to reference the letter, dated 11/24/98, and should he read it first or are we going to go through it. AGENDA ~.EUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing - Continued. 11/24/98 Page 9 ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS Atty. de Ghetaldi apologized for the timing of the letter, but they have been asking for the ordinance and it was faxed Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. and this morning is the first opportunity he had to re- spond. Mayor Mullin stated all of the Council read the letter from Corey, Luzaich, Manos & Pliska LLP, Attorneys at Law, dated 11/24/98. Atty. de Ghetaldi stated there are two parts to the ordinance and pretty much the same objections would apply to both parts. There are no reasons to do this and number two, it affects our client unfairly, who is just in the process of moving here from being displaced by BART. It appears to really discriminate against a certain kind of car storage, car storage by car rental storage when it requires that storage takes place in a certain section of town by allowing car dealerships and airport parking and there is really no reason to draft the ordinance that affects only car rental agencies and particularly those that do their business at the Airport. The second part is the second part of the amendment that affects our client, it is the one that redefines maintenance and that has the same discriminatory affect on car agencies and his client. The very same usages on Melody Toyota, go on at Hertz, the body work and the paint, but there is not the use requirement in the amendment, would it not be the same for Melody Paint. He stated the letter really lays out the detail and he did not want to take up too much time. If the City has some goals there are other ways to meet the goals then by this onerous ordinance. City Attorney Mattas stated these are technical and legal objections which he is reviewing for the first time. He stated this relates back to part of the general plan which specifically talks to the use of rental agencies and where they could be located. The ordinance has provisions, but does not prohibit and it is premature for the applicant to say that it is unconstitutional. The City land regulations treat use differently. You have book stores and adult book stores in the way you regulate and whether or not they are a regulated base which the Court will look at and the bases are before you which relate to the general plan on where the use should be placed. He spoke of different types of impact, the issue of South A~ENDA ,_P. UBLIC HEARINGS r. Public Hearing - Continued. 11/24/98 Page 10 A~TION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS City Ford vs a storage lot - you may use the lots but the benefit may be different. South City Ford stores cars until they sell them. Our position is that the regulations the Council is considering do have a rational basis on the land use and that being based on the distribution of storage lots and the East of 101. The Council can continue the action before the Council or introduce the ordinance, but he will provide the Council with a written response to what was presented this evening. Discussion followed: would there be a difference in the revenue derived from car sales and the business Hertz is proposing; was Hertz storing or selling cars; yes, Hertz does not have a proposal before the Council, they filed an application for a business license for an M-1 District and only those activities and that brings up a point that is the general plan, perhaps that is footnoted in the staff report; it only deals with commercial and does not deal with M-1 Districts; Hertz has no objections to what the ordi- nance limits in the P-1 District and the P-C District, but it is only where it affects the M-l; Vice Mayor Datzman stated the third thing was airport car park- ing, is there revenue; Sky Park provides revenue, if it is in S.S.F.; Atty. de Ghetaldi stated, he hoped that the purpose of the proposed amendment is not a revenue generating purpose because if there is a purpose then there is a problem with Prop 13; rental car storage has no benefit to the City and we get the traffic and the down side of that; Atty. de Ghetaldi stated there are other ways to control the upside; under the existing ordinance he believes that a con- ditional use permit is required for automotive sales, rental and storage of autos and if there is a concern with what the burden on the City would be as a result of our client's proposed use of the land, then there are other ways to balance that burden than this blanket prohibition as it would relate to his client; the Council's concerns are real concerns, but he believes there are other ways to meet those concerns than prohibition as this amendment does; Mr. Mor- gan Malby, BT & F, stated the change in making it a conditional use you have on the east side is a plan to get the biotecs and give them the last areas for their companies to operate from. On one point you are making things happen and forcing the freight and car parking companies out of the area, and now we are focusing on this side of the freeway and elimi- AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ._P_UBLIC HEARINGS r.

Discussion followed: Mayor Mullin is the repre- sentative of the Roundtable and will carry that to them to accomplish the objectives at the Airport's expense; this morning the newspaper had the recon- figuration; Mayor Mullin is on that Committee, but 11/24/98 Page 11 __ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Resolution - Continued.
