C. Yuen The minutes of the August ll, 1981 regular meeting were approved as submitted. Status report was not available. Staff Report of September 16, 1981 was presented to the Commission.

The developer is to assume all costs of development and construction. 2. The City is to be compensated for loss of revenue during construction. 3. The Engineering Department approves all plans. 4.

If the developers cannot meet the City's standard, a possibility of deferred payment, or joint venture type of agreement was discussed. The Commission requested to see the revised plan. CE;~TI~AL RECORDS Page 2 Parking Place Commis~ November lQ, 1981 n Minutes Peninsula Yellow Cab Parking Space The Parking PlaceCommission and Mr. Joe Gillio, owner of Yellow Cab Company, 110 Grand Avenue, were unable to find any documentation authorizing the three spaces. Officer Dick$on found in Ordinance 491, passed on October 7, 1963, that "The assigned Traffic Engineer and the Chief of Police shall establish taxicab stands and deter- mine the location thereof." In 1963 ordinances conflict- ing and overlapping were codified in Ordinance 491 which now has been codified into the Municipal Code. Chief Datzman stated that when Mr. Bob Yee was employed as Traffic Engineer, it was decided that the Police Depart- ment would make recommendations to the Traffic Engineer and he would make the final decision. However, this has been a policy only and has not been clarified in the ordinance, but if there is a conflicthe belieues that'~ the City Council would be the final policy making body. Mr. Gillio related that they are the only business on the block rendering a service and the cab stand is for the convenience of the people. They are opened 24 hours and in that period provide a shelter for approximately lO0 to 130 people. If the Space were eliminated, it would create a hazardous condition for the people and create a traffic problem with double, parking. Mr. Tom Phillips, Manager of Yellow Cab, 108 Grand Avenue, said he checked with the merchants in the vicinity and they are against re- moving the cab stands as they also serve their customers for loading and unloading. Mr. John Rosselli, former Mayor of Redwood City, 950 Nob Hill Road, Redwood City, informed the Commission when downtown Redwood City com- pleted their revitalization program, Mr. Gillio was granted two spaces on Broadway. The cab stands have always been available and is a valuable community resource. The Commission inquired on the useage of the stands in relation to telephone requests. Mr. Phillip said that 92 percent are telephone requests and customers use the stands mostly in the afternoon and evening. The possibility of moving one or both spaces elsewhere was discussed. Mr. Gillio stated the customers would be without shelter and during i~nclement weather there might be a waiting period for the cab. Commissioner Sciandri suggested that a nominal fee be charged for the two spaces to appease the merchants. Mr. Gillio was agreeable to $10.00 a month (regular parking fee) per space. Page 3 Parking Place Commiss November 10, 1981 Mi nutes Peninsula Yellow Cab Chief Datzman asked if the commission considered a Parking Space (continued) random survey of the parking situation on Cypress Avenue. The Chief agreed to conduct a survey as requested by the Commission. While the survey is being conducted, the City Attorney will be contacted on the legality of charging the Yellow Cab Company a monthly parking fee. 2 Hour Parking Enforcement - Grand Avenue Commissioner Sciandri inquired why the 2 hour parking was not being enforced since it was approved at the August City Council meeting and at theSeptember 9, joint meeting. Chief Datzman replied that it will be enforced as soon as the meters on Municipal Lot'#1 are changed from 2 hours to 5 hours. Chairman Penna requested that the Director of Finance advise the Parking Meter Collector/Repairman to initiate the change and upon completion notify the Police Department. Commissioner Rosaia stated that the removal of the 2 hour signs in the outlying district Were delayed since the new signs have not been delivered. Commercial Parking on Grand Avenue The problems of commerical parking on Grand Avenue was discussed at length. ~It was agreed to facilitate matters, a meeting should be held with the Downtown Merchants Association, Director of Public SerVices and the Chief of Police.

OLD BUSINESS: Statement of Financial Position Fiscal Year 1980-81 interest income was $39,663 as compared to approximately $40,000 for 1979-80. The decrease in interest was primarily due to a lower cash balance at the end of the year because of the expendi- tures incurred for the two projects. Master Parking Plan Status Report Mr. Yuen stated there has been no new development. City Manager has been tied Up with the South Slope Redevelopment and the budget. The Commissioner Sciandri inquired about the D'Amico plan. Commissioner Rosaia said the plan on the whole was not acceptable butthe Walnut Avenue project was taken from the D'Amico plan.

Plan B: From 21 Side of Maple Avenue parking spaces to 27 to 31 spaces costing $51,000 to $64,000. A discussion followed on the various aspects of the plans. Mr. Yee stated that most of the alternatives are covered, but most importantly is there a need for additional spaces. Commissioner Rosaia explained they are exploring various possibilities for future needs. He inquired if Plan A or B was accepted whether it should be worked in with the Master Plan.

The Acting City Attorney is in the process of looking into an easement situation and as yet has not completed the study. Mr. Yee reported the parking lot will be completed to the City's specifications, as agreed by the Architect, and the cost is to be paid by Pete's Coffee Shop. It was suggested that this item bementioned at the joint meeting with the Council on September 9, 1981. Mr. Constantin Tivon, Realtor, 437 Hayes Street, San Francisco 94102, requested at the Parking Place Commission meeting of August ll, 1981 to table the matter for 30 days. He would like to discuss the matter further with Maria's Restaurant and the Scavenger Co. Since Mr. Tivon was not present at this meeting, the Commission agreed to table this matter until we hear from him. A letter was sent by Mr. Yuen, as requested by the Parking Place Commission, to the Peninsula Yellow Cab Company inquiring about the two free parking spaces in front of their office. A reply was received stating that the spaces have been used for many years for the convenience of the public. We checked through the City Clerk and our files to locate documents relating to the free spaces but nothing was found. A lengthy discussion followed, and it was suggested that this item be brought before the joint meeting with the Council on September 9, 1981. It was discussed at length whether the Parking District should try and acquire additional properties while they are available. Commissioner Rosaia suggested the possi- bility of selling some properties that are not getting good returns.

Housing and Community Development Mr. Lou Janakos, San Mateo Co. Housing and Community Development Mr. Anastasios Mavroudis, Co-owner Pete's Coffee Shop The minutes of the June 9, 1981 regular meeting were approved as submitted. Mr. Birkelo stated that there had been an earlier staff meeting on the 2-hour parking situation. Staff thought the problem is~not clearly defined so that a determination could be made on how much manpower and/or other resources would be needed to enforce the 2-hour parking. Chief Datzman asked for more specifics. He stated that the Parking Enforcement Officer's approach has been to use selective enforcement. Commissioner Rosaia made the following comments: he was of the problems the staff faces; however, the Commission re- ceived a request from the Downtown Merchant's Association to enforce the 2-hour parking. The two hour (2) parking signs are to remain on Grand Avenue; the two hour (2) parking signs will be removed from other streets. The merchants want to keep the parking space available for shoppers and not penalize them if the meters expire. They want to discourage citizens from feeding the meters every two hours. Page 2 Parking Place Commission Mi~nutes July 14, 1981 2-Hour Parking Grand Avenue (continued) Follow-up - Statment of Financial Position Master Parking Plan Mrs. Suebert, SSF Woman's Club representative, declared that parking spaces are available but it is difficult to find no limit parking. Chairman Penna stated the Woman's Club is not within the District, it ends at the Masonic Temple and Goodyear Store. The Commission is only interested in enforc- ing the 2-hour parking within the District. Chief Datzman asked for policy guidance from the Commission; if the 2-hour parking signs are to remain on Grand Avenue only (from Airport Boulevard to the end of the District zone) what goes on beyond that would be an independent decision. The other areas within the Parking District, the 2-hour signs will be removed and people can park accordingly. It will be the Police Department's problem to define what will be done outside the District. Mrs. Suebert's earlier concern would appear to be addressed; however, the Senior Citizen's problem still needs to be addressed. Commissioner Rosaia commented that at a previous meeting it was suggested that on the parking lot next to the Senior Citizens' Center the meters could be changed from 2 hours to 5 hours. Mr. Nello C. Lazzari, Senior Citizen representative, indicated they would be happy with this arrangement. Mr. Frank Strazzino, President of the Downtown Merchants' Association explained that the correspondence sent to the Police Department and City officials was not intended as a harassment but. to encourage business. Dn Grand Avenue by making it as convenient as possible for customers. Parking space should be available at noon or at anytime for customers to get in and out. Also, if the 2-hour parking is enforced, the tires are not to be chalked. The merchants would like to see this enforced for better business and better revenue. Chief Datzman suggested the possibility of increasing the fines to meet the cost factor of enforcing the 2-hour parking. He stated a study was made several years ago and the judicial council recommended an increase from $3.00 to $5.00 but it was turned down by a community decision. Mr. Birkelo stated that the judicial council will soon be making a recommendation to have uniform bail schedules. Chairman Penna advised they will go before the Council with a resolution requesting strict 2-hour enforcement on Grand Avenue. Deferred to the last. Mr. Birkelo reported the Master Parking Plan will have to be deferred until the budget is completed. Page 3 Parking Place Commission Minutes July 14, 1981 GOOD AND WELFARE: Pete's Coffee Shop Mr. Joe Hansen, Architect, indicated the project was being funded by the San Mateo County Housing and Development and Mr. Samuel Williams, Program Manager, Mr. Lou Janakos, Housing Rehabilitation Supervisor and two other members are in attendance. Mr. Hansen presented 4 detailed plans of the concept titled,"Precedent Setting Aspect, Master Plan, Further DevelOpment and Improvement of the Parking Lot." .. Mr. Williams commented the County has been working closely with businessmen and city managers in the County for approval of the program. On July 28, it will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for approval for a $5 million agreement, of which South San Francisco will receive a "lion's share" for Grand Avenue. Grantsmanship has been submitted in anti- cipation of a contract with the State of California to receive a quarter of a million dollar specifically designated to renovate residential hotels and rehab properties. Mr. Williams requested the Commission to give positive recommendation to this project as well as for future projects. Mr. Williams spoke highly of Mr. Hansen and the Mavroudis family in following the rules and regulations required in preparation of the plan. Mr. Anastasio Mavroudi.s, co-o~ner, showed a p~rspect~ve o~ the buildi'ng,~ ~e presented a petition supporting the plan. Chairman Penna commented that out of the 19 who signed the petition, he recognized 3 names that are merchants. Chairman Penna questioned if the granting of the loan was contingent upon the opening along the building. Mr. Williams replied that the loan is subject to the building's ability to support the loan. A lengthy discussion'followed: 1. Easement Be $10,000 estimate was given for the cost of easement (10' strip by 140') by Mr. Hansen. Chairman Penna did not agree on this estimate. .b. Granting of easement - whether public hearing is required, the final authority - City Council or Parking Place Commission. c. Easement requirements by Building, Fire, Police, etc. d.

Parking Lot (a) Mr. Hansen quoted an estimate of $10,000 to improve the parking lot, landscaping, irrigation, curbing, etc. Mr. Yee presented the Engineer's estimate of $34,000 to improve the parking lot. The Commission questioned if the developer will pay all the cost of improvement. (b) The concept allowed for 26 parking spaces, of which 10 are for compacts. Mr. Yee remarked that based on the current standards on a 50~ lot, 20 spaces are allowed, of which lO are for compacts. A clarification was made that the lot will be 63' allowing for the additional spaces. (c) The width Of the walkway was discussed at length. Chairman Penna expressed concern about the parking lots which the Commission controls. What criteria and precedent would the Commission be establishing? What risk factors would be involved for the future? If the Commission approves the concept, the parking space would be decreased without providing additional space and yet increase the need for additional space which is contrary to what we are trying to do. Mr. Dell Angela'said the Planning CommiSsion has approved the concept. The Use Permit has been issued subject to the final design and agreement with the City. He further stated~it will be presented before the Council whether the Commission approves, denies, or remains neutral. Mr. Birkelo suggested the Commission to perhaps approach it from the standpoint of whether this would enhance or detract from the parking lot operation. A compromise could be reached if the Commission and the Council approved the project. The mechanics of the agreement could be worked out. Commissioner Rosaia entered a motion approving the project with the following restrictions: the City find another situa- tion other than easement or sale; the City receive some revenue from this property; the developer to assume all cost of develop- ing the parking lot; the City is to be compensated for loss uf revenue during construction; the plans to be approved by the Engineering Department; provisions to be made for at least 26 parking spaces.

C. Yuen Mr. Constantin Tivon, Realtor The minutes of the July 14, 1981 regular meeting were approved as submitted. Acting Director of Finance informed the Commission that the discrepancy in the report was due to misclassified revenues. A work sheet for fiscal year 1980-81 was pre- pared showing an adjusted revenue of $5,889. A detailed check was made by the temporary accountant of the parking permits sold and it averaged out to 49 permits per month which ties in with the above figure of $5,889. For fiscal year 1979-80 where it shows $20,420 should have been $7,971;the difference Was for meter fees. The report was accepted by the Commission. Chairman Penna stated that from 1976 through 1980 the revenues have steadily decreased. If so, was it caused by a substantial decrease in business activity on Grand Avenue? The decrease in revenue was mainly attributed to the meters not being used, but free parking was available on the street during the Christmas Holidays and the re- vitalization from January to November. Further problems were incurred with the parking meter poles. Acting Director of Finance stated the interest income report will be available at the next meeting. Due to the budget, the City Manager has not been able to spend any time on the Plan. Chairman Penna inquired of the board if they were satisfied with delays. Commissioner Rosaia commented that first due to Gateway Development it was delayed and now the budget but he hoped there will be no further delays. Page 2 Parking Place Commissio' August ll, 1981 inutes Master Parking Plan (continued) Chairman Penna queried if the Master Parking Plan will cover individual and special needs, i.e., removal of meters, loading and unloading zones, green zones, handicapped parking, etc. Acting Director of Finance was under the impression that this will be all integrated in the Plan, but will call it to the attention of the City Manager. Officer Dickson said that he will be attending a meeting of the Downtown Merchants' Association and among the topics to be discussed will be the loading zones. Chairman Penna requested Officer Dickson to report on the outcome of the meeting. Outlook of the Parking Place Commission Upon Maturity of the Bonds in 1984 Acting Director of Finance suggested that perhaps this subject could be discussed at the joint meeting with the Council scheduled for September 9, 1981. Chairman Penna declared that this Commission has not met with the Council for two years due to cancellation by the Council. Acting Director of Finance will submit an informational staff report on August 19, 1981 as a reminder to the Council of the joint meeting on September 9, 1981. , Chairman Penna reiterated that the Parking Place Commission's existence was to pay off the bonds, that is all. The Commission would like to know what the Council wishes. Is the Commission to remain in existence, if so what is required of the'Commission? Report from Staff on the Possibility of Having Diagonal Parking on One Side of Maple Avenue Improvement of Maple Avenue was diScussed at length: one- way or two-way street, widening the street, east or west side angle parking, perpendicular parking, direction of angle parking, etc. The Commission has not determined if this concept will be used. They are looking for improvements in the downtown district for future needs and would like some information beforehand. Chairman Penna inquired if Staff, with all the numerous projects, could prepare a report on the needs of the down- town area within a specific time frame, or if a consultant should be hired. Acting Director of Public Services Wong stated a report of this nature could be prepared but would need to be coordinated with other departments. However, the determination as to the need and time frame will be determined by Mr. Yee, Director of Public Services. Status Report-Pedestrian Easement on Municipal Parking Lot #1 (Pete's Coffee Shop) At the Council meeting of August 5, 1981, a staff report prepared by Mr. Dell'Angela was approved by the City Council. Community Development and the City Attorney's office~will prepare detailed information, as requested by Council. Acting Finance Director will coordinate with Mr. Dell'Angela to insure that the Commission's interests are protected. Chairman Penna requested that the staff report dated August 5, 1981 be included in the minutes. Page 3 Parking Place Commission .,,.nutes August ll, 1981 NEW BUSINESS: Request to Remove Parking Mr. Constantin Tivon, Realtor, 437 Hayes Street, San Meter C-29 and Recess Francisco, California 94102approached the Commission to C-27 between Grand Avenue request removal of one meter and recess another meter so and Cypress on Third Lane that Maria's Restaurant will be able to have their garbage remOved. Maria's Restaurant was renting the vacant lot next door and the scavenger truck was driving into Third Lane. Mr. Tivon stated his reasons and ad- vantages both for the City and Maria's Restaurant; if the meter were removed and a driveway put in, the possible fines collected would be a revenue for the Commission. Officer Dickson said that it would be an illegal driveway since it did not lead into anything, therefore, would not be enforceable. He further stated any fines collected would go in part to the State and to the General Revenue Fund for the City and the Commission does not derive any revenue. A discussion followed on possible alternatives other than removing the meter; posting of signs, driveway between the meters, etc. Mr. Tivon requested if he could table this matter until the. next Parking Place Commission meeting on September 8, 1981. He would like to confer with~Maria's Restaurant and the Scavenger Company. 'The Commission approved the request. Staff Report August 19, 1981, Re: Parking Place Commission Recommendation Two Hour Limit in Central District Acting Director of Finance presented a copy of the staff report Re: Two Hour Limit in Central Business District. Commission members requested that the last sentence be deleted,'"Members of the Parking Place Commission are present at tonight's meeting." A member of the Commission will attend the meeting and for the Council to be so advised. Contractor's Truck Parking on Grand Avenue Commissioner Sciandri was apprOached by several merchants on Grand Avenue about contractors' trucks taking up parking space while doing the work. He related a speCific incident where a roofing contractor was taking up three to four spaces and not feeding the meter. Officer Dickson said the Police Department haS been giving the approval since there are no established regulations or contact with the Parking Place Commission. The question arose what policy did the Commission follow in the past and what policy should be established for the future.. Page 4 Parking Place Commission ,~inutes August ll, 1981 Peninsula Yellow Cab Parking Space Chairman Penna stated he received complaints about the two free parking space in front of the Yellow Cab Co. He inquired what rules or policies were established to allow them free parking. Since no one was aware of any rules, Acting Director of Finance will write to them directly for information.

In the meantime, Mr. Dell'Angela was asked for comments. Mr. Dell'Angela stated that he had no comments but would like to ask the COmmission, with respect to the. garage parking on Exhitit C, there are parking structures but no land cost involved. Chairman Penna replied that the City presently owns the property, for example, the one on 21; and that the Commission would be digging an underground type garage similar to Union Square. On 22, the discussion was to lease the school play yard and allow the yard to remain on top with parking beloW. Mr. Dell'Angela asked if the Parking Commission's district was going to be expanded. In recognition, the Parking District value is going to be relatively re-evaluated. Is there some proposal or discussion about expanding the Parking District? Commissioner Rosaia responded that this item would probably be brought up in a couple of years when the present bonds could be retired, then parking lots with structures on top would have to be developed; we will probably have to go out for another bond issue. Once this is done, the boundary lines could come under question again. Acting Director of Finance Yuen, distributed copies of the July 1, 1980 through May 21, 1981 report and explained that it seems that the original estimates were set a bit too high. The Revenue Report shows interest income from investments of $4,541.00 that was transferred from the General Fund. The reason for this is, on June 30, we take all interest income from investments made by the City Treasurer and allocate it to various funds based on the weighted CENTRAL RECORD5 FILE N 0.: ..~....7.-....~.-Z Statement Of Financial Position (continued): Mr. Birkelo Arrives: Master Parking Plan : Status Report, Parking Around Old Police Station: cash ualance average. Th~.~ policy was discussed with the City's Auditor and it was .agreed that this was the most equitable policy. Come year end, there will be a sizeable amount in the interest income. He also noted that the Parking Permit Fees are rather low, estimated revenue was $25,000 and actual is $7,600. This is probably because, we believe, a significant segment of people are parking on- street and maybe on outlying districts where there is non-metered parking. The Commission was very concerned with the tremendous difference in the estimated revenue and the actual reported revenue and requested that this be' ~vestigated and a re~ort made. Mr. Birkelo stated that ~ince he has been rather busy on the budget he had no comments on the Master Parking Plan, but that the CommisSion had received comments from most of the Departments. He stated that they would also like the Commission's reactions on what meets their- satisfaction and what was missing or should be considered. Chairman Penna suggested that some thought be given to a statement that the Parking District continue for the purpose of providing parking, and expand the District along Linden Avenue north. Mr. Dell'Angela stated that the implications are to expand the Parking District boundries, does that mean that the same zoning wavier goes into effect for those properties in that area? For example, are we going to expand the area where we have a tight situation? Chairman Penna replied that he didn't believe so. Maybe there should be a program that required businesses, before they are developers, to contribute in some way, so that new parking could be added. I understand that San Mateo has a plan and that someone was going to look into it and make a report. Officer Dickson responded that it is being looked into. Commissioner Sciandri commented that the in-lieu parking should be discussed. It was concurred. Mr. Birkelo stated that before dealing with boundaries, we should deal with the issue of who can have development without providing parking or payments in lieu thereof. Chairman Penna interjected that, because this is in the downtown area, we should also consider the public transportation that will be coming into the area. The City Manager stated that this plan calls for s. etting in some system of monitgring the usage to try to give us a better handle on just how effecient we really are. We should probably get started on setting this up just as quickly as possible; the sooner we get started, the sooner information starts coming in. Acting Director of Finance Yuen, presented a memorandum received from the Director of Public Services and informed the Commission that the changes were implemented. He also informed the Commission that John Prevetti has, in the past seven days, installed four parking meters on the Maple side. -2- CENTRAL RECORDS Communi cati on To SSF Woman's Club from Mayor: GOOD & WELFARE: 2-Hour Parking: ADJOURNMENT: All bommissioners bad read the Communication sent to the Woman's Club prior and concurred that it was well written. Commissioner Rosaia noted that the 2-hour parking was not listed on the Agenda but that a final determination should be made on it. It was motioned by Chairman Penna and seconded by Commissioner Rosaia that the 2-hour parking limitation be strictly enforced. After discussion, the motion was rescinded. Commissioner Rosaia made a.formal motion after further discussion~that "2-hour parking be strictly enforced just on Grand Avenue from Airport to Spruce." (No second was offered) After further discussion, it was requested that the Acting Director of Finance prepare a Staff Report to Council requesting that Council amend Ordinance #491 to place a maximum parking limit on Grand Avenue between Airport Blvd.~andSpruce Avenue and the other streets within the Parking District, allow a 2-hour limit. It was agreed that the Staff Report would be presented to. Cbuncil at its June 17, 1981 meeting. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 5:10 p.m. Approved .'

OLD BUSINESS Walnut Avenue The Commission members extended a cordial welcome to the new Commissioner, Mr. David A. Sciandri. Commissioner Rosaia went on the record to state, "he will be one of our better commissioners." Engineer Leong reported that Change Order No.1 was issued to raise the grade of the driveway between All Souls Church and the Masonic Temple. The cost would be approximately $150 whi:ch will be taken out of the, contingency cost money. Mr. Anderson explained that on a public im- provement project if there is something needed to be accommodated on a private property it would be done at the project cost because it is occasioned by the project and not requested. Commissioner Sciandri entered a motion that Change Order No. 1 be approved, the motion was unanimously passed. CENTRAL RECORD.i, Page 2 Minutes - Parking March 10, 1981 ce Commission Walnut Avenue (continued) Blue Sky Session Master Parking Plan Commissioner Rosaia questioned how the work was progressing and the approximate date of completion. Engineer Leong stated that the work was on schedule and weather permitting should be completed in about three weeks. Commissioner Rosaia inquired about the tree. Engineer Leong stated that they will be putting in guy wires to the tree to insure that it will stay down and the height of the retaining wall will be raised and more top soil will be added for the roots to grow into. Mr. Anderson commented that in February the Council adopted the new rates for Walnut Avenue. Officer Dickson questioned if a request has been received from the Library for loading zones. Mr. Anderson indicated that they requested two loading zones, however, in discussion with Mr. Yee, that on a trial basis one loading zone will be assigned. Per Officer Dickson it will be painted yellow for commerical vehicles and also passengers could unload. Due to the Homart negotiations, they have been unable to schedule the session. Sr. Planner Dan Christensen inputed the following thoughts for the session. Eventually an expert may be needed to appraise the value of the lots as far as airspace, easement rights, open space rights and other rights that you could sell or lease. Also, the Parking Place Commission may have requirements for the Planning Commission for granting easement access into public property and in turn the private developer would improve the lot, i.e., additional parking space, land- scaping, etc. Mr. Anderson stated that at the next meeting the plan will be ready.

Q, 1981 Concept of Leasing Air Space South Side of Grand Avenue 50 Feet Frontage Grand Avenue Lot 75 Feet North Side (Pete's Coffee Shop) Join~ Session with · Counci 1 NEW BUSINESS Election Mr. Anderson suggested that since we do not have a specific proposal on this lot that we incorporate this into the Blue Sky Session. Mr. Joe Hansen made a presentation on behalf of Pete's Coffee Shop for access rights and/ or window rights on the property line and that the plans are just a starting point for discussion. Commissioner Rosaia said that since this was not on the agenda and other' proposals should be considered that the presentation be tabled until the next meeting. Mr. AnderSon clarified that originally he was contacted by the owner of Pete's Coffee Shop whether the Parking District'would be amenable to selling a portion of this lot. There are several options opened, selling the entire lot, selling 25 feet and maintaining 50 feet, or sell the air rights. A previous determina- tion made by the Commission was that frontage on Grand Avenue should not be used for parking. Commissioner Rosaia requested that this lot be included in the Master Parking Plan with comments from the Staff as the use of the lot may change with a possibility of an independent bank erected on Grand Avenue and Cypress, or the widening of Cypress Avenue by 25 feet. Retained on the Agenda as a reminder The election of officers was held. Commissioner Sciandri entered a motion that we retain the same officers as in 1980, Mr. John Penna, Chairman, Mr. Dennis Rosaia, Chairman Pro Tem, the motion was unanimously.passed. Page 4 Minutes - Parking March lO, 1981 ace Commission Miller Lot, 300 Block Sr. Planner Christian said that a proposal North Side has been received from the property owner adjacent to the Miller lot on the north side of the 300 block. They are proposing to build a two-story office building where the existing house sits and would like to open windows facing the lot with an overhang. A lengthy discussion ensued not only regard- ing this property but future developments, the critical need for parking space: The present zoning ordinance states they provide standard parking or receive speCial dispensation from the Commission. Issue an ordinance to levy a fee for the cost of providing parking, similar to the Park Dedication fee. The fee should not discourage development but would have to provide structures. According to the code, the Commission has the authority to turn down a development if parking is not provided. Commissioner Rosaia stated that the Commission would not like to take such a stand but would like to regulate parking requirements. Financial Reports A copy of the completed audit report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1980 was presented showing a gain of approximately $80,000. The reserve revenue as of July l, 1980 shows $200,000 available for construction/eXpansion, however, $100,000 will be deducted for Walnut Avenue Project and the Schuman property, The Operating Statement and the Revenue Report as of January l, 1981 were also presented. Mr. Anderson explained that 50.7% indicated the time frame and revenue from meters was 35 per~ cent, permit sales decreased showing 11.5 percent. Complaint - Lot #4 The owner of 249 Grand Avenue has registered a complaint that vehicles with over hanging bumpers were hitting the side of the building. Mr. Anderson has sent a memo to DPS to install the wheelstops where they were needed. Page 5 Minutes - Park.ing March lO, 1981 lace Commission Two Hour Parking Enforcement Parking/Meter Change Commissioner Rosaia has received several com- plaints from the merchant requesting that the two hour parking be strictly enforced. Officer Dickson said it can be enforced, upon the Commission's request, but there will be no exceptions, it will apply to everyone. Tire chalking will be required, and the Commission agreed that Mr. A1Borserio's duties are up to capacity. It was suggested that Officer Dickson inform the Chief of Police.that: It is the desire of the Commission to strictly enforce the two hour parking in the downtown area. Request in the next year's budget for a second Parking Enforcement Officer which can be justified by foreseeable revenue due to strict parking enforcement. Commissioner Rosaia was under the impression that when there is a parking change or'a meter change that the request should come before the Commission, referring specifically to the parking space in front of Town Liquor which was changed from a red zone to a green zone. Officer Dickson said that this location was chosen because there was no existing meter~ therefore, no loss of revenue. Also, during the Grand AvenUe Revital- ization discussions, the City Engineer, Police Department, Mr. Anderson and others had decided on this location and it was not given preferential preference. The green loading zone was a com- promise and established on a test basis since there are no loading or unloading zone in the downtown area. If a 15 minute parking meter were installed, it would not solve the parking problem for the trucks; a metered loading zone will be strictly for passenger cars only. Officer Dickson stated that they have another request from the drugstore on the corner of Maple and Grand Avenue. The solution on Grand Avenue will be very difficult since there is no access to the back of the stores for loading and unloading. Page 6 Minutes - Parkinr March 10, 1981 lace Commission Parking/Meter Change (continued) Officer Dickson commented that since the revitalization', some of the signs and markings were incorrect or deleted and will have ~to be replaced, thus causing enforcement problems.

SAN FRANCISCO TUESDAY, MAY 12, lg81 LARGE CONFERENCE ROOM - CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER: MINUTES: OLD BUSINESS: Grand Avenue 2-Hour Parking: The meeting was called to order at 3:04 p.m. by the Chairman, John Penna. Present: Chairman John Penna Commissioner Dennis Rosaia Commissioner David Sciandri ALSO PRESENT: Acting Director of Finance, Alex Yuen City Manager, C. Walter Birkelo Director of Community Development,Louis Dell'Angela Police Officer, Mike Dickson Recreation Supervisor, Virginia Hayne Senior Planner,. Dan Christians Associate Civil Engineer, Terry Leong Mrs. Alfonso Seubert Mr. Robert Georgi Ms. Violet Martin Mr. Nello Lazzari Mr. Joseph Hansen Due to the absence of the Recording Secretary, Teiko Izutsu, no minutes of the previous meeting were available for approval. A new letter was presented by Mrs. Alfonso Seubert, 224 Northwood Drive~ South San Francisco, on behalf of~the South San Francisco Woman's Club. She stated that the new letter asks that the Ordinance be rescinded but with the information given prior to the meeting, that will be an impossibility. It does present a hardship for our people to have to move their cars and the longtime parking at Walnut is not too good for us as we mentioned at the last meeting. Chairman Penna asked if the rear of the facility could be used and walk through the Alley. Mrs. Seubert replied that the gate is usually closed. Since we rent our building, it is in use 3 to 4 days of the week; we also use it on Saturdays. While the Merchants have need for quick turn-over parking, our need is the opposite, we need longer term parking. We, therefore, ask that you consider our needs along with that of the Merchants' Commissioner Rosaia questioned if the building is rented to members of the Organization or a separate group, so actually, it is not a hardship on the Organization itself, but on the renters. Mrs. Seubert answered that it is rented to other groups approximately I or 2 times a week and the members use it the other times, which is more than once a month. When you rent for wedding receptions, classes, etc., that is a draw-back to have 2-hour parking. We must rent in order to pay our taxes, other assessments and maintain the building in good condition. CENTRAL RECORDS FILE N 0.= ~....~- .~.~---.-.,~ SURVEY OF SENIOR CI?IZENS' CENTER ON GRAND AVENUE: 2-HOUR PARKING: GINNY HAYNE ARRIVES: Commi. ssioner Rosaia stated that the Woman's Club has a nice hall and it is in demand because it is nice~ but be wondered~if the people who rent the hall were concerned about the parking or with.~just bei.ng able to acquire the hall. Acting Director of Finance, Yuen, presented and read a survey compiled by Ginny Hayne, Recreation Supervisor. After the reading, Mr. Nello C. Lazzari objected to the figures presented and it was determined that discussion of the.report should be delayed until Ms. Hayne's arrival to the meeting. ' Mrs. Seubert asked if it would be possible to have meters with longer time periods on them in areas such as near the Woman's Club. Commissioner Sciandri replied that if it is a decision of the Commission to do away with the 2-hour parki.ng limitation, then it could possibly be done; but if the Commission deems it necessary to enforce the 2-hour parking regulation, then there would be no need to change the heads of the meters to longer periods of time. Mr. Dell'Angela commented that since this has been done on Walnut, and a need has been fulfilled by 6 to 8 hour parking, it might be what is needed in this case. Chairman Penna remarked that before a decision can be made, it should be noted that there is a general policy in effect for strict enforcement of the 2-hour limitation on Grand Avenue. The people will be notified of this before it takes place. It has been the policy of.this Comm-' ission that the needs of the customer, as well as the needs of the employees and owners, be served. The only way we can do this is to have Grand Avenue as a 2-hour limitation for customer parking and employees to park in side lots away from the main shopping area. If this was changed, it would present an enforcement problem. We would also like to have input from the other merchants in the area, since it would affect them also. Item 7B "Survey of Senior Citizens' Center on Grand Avenue" was again discussed. Ms. Hayne reported that the congestion seems to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On the 3rd Saturday, there is an AARP meeting and it is determined that approximately 179 people drive to the meeting. On that particular Saturday, there is probably a fair amount of congestion as far as the parking situation is concerned. Ms. Hayne also stated that if at all possible, the lot next to the Senior Center could be made into a 5-hour lot, it will alleviate a great deal of parking on the street. When asked how the figures on the report were arrived at, Ms. Hayne said that as people came in, they signed as to how they came and where they parked. A combination of the two days revealed these figures. On drop-in days, there was a head count of the people who drove. They were asked to sign a sheet to that effect. As to what street they parked on; most of them tried to park as close to the Center as possible, which is the 100 and 200 blocks of Grand Avenue. -2- MASTER PARKING BLUE SKY SESSION: ITEM 2A Grand Avenue Lot: Chairman Penna ~uggested that there be a continuing discussion on the 2-hoUr parking problem. City Manager, Mr. Birkelo, referred to an outline.of the Downtown Parking Plan presented at the last meeting, and noted that, what the outline basically indicated was that there were a number of thi.ngs that should be considered. We need to develop a system for better recording our parking data, and from that, be able to better project what our parking needs are goi.ng to be.. It also suggests that we may not De able to allow major new developments in the parking distr~ct without either getting some parking or some payment in lieu thereof, so that it coUld be used for acquiring other off-street facilities. As we see it, the parking meter revenues are quite limited in what they are going to be able to produce in way of, what might be, the ultimate parking need downtown. This report was meant to be a "kick-off." In the meantime, we have gotten several comments back from Departments of Community Development and Public Services which generally concur with what was in the oniginal draft, but have additional suggestions for consideration. Since the Commission has reviewed the outline, we woUld like to know what the Board feel might be its defi.ciencies and/or strong points that we should follow-up on and develop this into a document that we think we could live with, at least on an initial basis, recognizing that it has to be approved. The first thing is we need to get some direction from you on is, if you agree with us, that we to develop some kind of research, program that will develop the kind of data that will indicate where we are, i.e., short on parking. If you agree with this, Staff will be willing to come up with a proposed data collection program. It was .agreed to by the Commission.' Mr. Dell'Angela informed the Commission that a report has been sent to the City Manager, and it generally supported the in-lieu fee proposal, we also see a need, within the next 5 to 10 years, for downtown parking structures, depending on the ability to finance such. W6 also support the leasing of air rights over lots to create additional parking and developments. Chairman Penna asked if there were any schematic drawings relating to air rights and leasing of air rights.---- There was none. It was determined that this item is in conjunction with the Master Parking Plan. Commissioner Rosaia suggested that a date be set to discuss the Master Parking Plan and also a policy for the downtown area. Mr. Dell'Angela informed the Commission that this was discussed in a Study Session with the City Council and the Planning Commission recently, and some members of Council felt that the time has passed where we can waive the off-street parking requirement, but on the other hand, we do not want to create a requirement so'stringent that you preclude expansion or renovation of existing facilities. However, there was no final decision made, but some sort of policy need to be drawn and the Planning Commisssion should be involved in this policy when it is developed. -3- The City Manager s. uggested that'the Parking Place Commission adopt an interim pglicy indicati.ng that you would look into th.~:vers carefully until.you have your.plan well in hand. Chairman Penna stated'that the Commission should take the advice of the City Manager and decide within the next month, that for the interim period, we should try to put a moratorium on anything developi.ng until we get a clear understnading of.where we're going. FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT WALNUT AVE: The construction is near completion, only minor things are left to be done such as, put up signs, paint sign posts, etc. The tree guard that was broken is on order. TRUCK Officer Dickson informed the Board that a letter was received by the DELIVERY ZONES Director of Public SerVices from the Downtown Merchants. Mr. Yee referred GRAND AVE.: a letter back to them to develop a decision for loading zones that would be satisfactory to all .of them. Officer Dickson was not aware of any further correspondence. Commissioner.Sciandri suggested that this item be included in the Master Parking Plan. ACCESS TO 3rd LANE AT LINDEN AVE: Mr. Yuen presented a recommendation from Mr. Yee as his proposed solution. It was motioned by Commissioner Sciandri, seconded by Commissioner Rosaia and unamiously carried, to change the meters on Linden Avenue according to the diagram prepared by Mr. Yee. NEW BUSINESS: Easement of Dan Christians introduced this item by informing the Commission that 6' to 10' Pete's'Coffee Shop has secured County financing to rehabilitate the Lot Next To existing restaurant and hotel upstairs. The applicant and his architect Pete's Coffee .are here to explain their plan. Shop Mr. Joe Hansen presented their schemes for the Commission's viewing. He informed the Commission that the schemes had been presented to the Planning Commission and that they seemed pleased with what they plan to do. Commissioner Rosaia commented that the last time Mr. Hansen was before the Commission, the Police Officer mention something regarding the inlets. The Commissioner's concern was that, if we ever follow the Master Plan, it would be eliminating the parking lots on Grand Avenue and have them on the periphery. There is a passage way of approximately 10 feet going from Grand Avenue to the Lane, what problems will this create? Officer Dickson stated that this was set before the Design Review Board of which Sgt. Petrocchi is a member. Part of the Sergeant's job is to make security recommendations and recommendations about the type of design of the building and security measures. When the plan goes before the Design Review Board, his comments are included and they then go before the Planning Commission; they were brought before the Architect for his attention and they are being taken care of on a different scale other than the Parking Place Commission. -4- GOOD AND WELFARE: ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Penna commented that he could see a lot of~problems with this project and would rather dela~ maki~n§ a decision on t~s.matter. Mr..Hansen informed'the Commission that be was under'pressure ~rom the County to finish, thedrawings, therefore, we are mak~.ng th~ presentation, not to get a decision today, but to stimulate interest and to get a general feeling.ofwhat you th~nk of'the plan before we present it to Council, which we Plan to do on June 2. It was decided that the Comm%ssion would delay expreSsing any opinions on this matter until the next meeti.n§. Mr. Yuen called the Comm%ss~on's attention to the fact that, currently we have four parking spaces on Maple Avenue with a sign designati.ng "No Parking -. Official Cars Only," and two parking spaces on Miller Avenue designated "No Parking At Any Time." If the Commission wants to consider making-this area~regular commercial off-street parking, parking meters are available. Commissioner Sciandri interjected that he would like to meet with the City Engineer and look into the possibility of cutting the curb back on Maple Avenue, in front of the Old Police Station, and putting in diagnol parking as opposed to parallel parking. At the next meeting, the Engineering Department will be requested to be present to discuss this, as well as the possibility of one-way streets. It was motioned .by Commissioner Rosaia an~ seconded by Commissioner Sciandri that parking meters be installed in the four spaces on Maple Avenue in front of the former Police Station and remove the no parking stalls'on Miller Avenue. Commissioner Rosaia requested that the City check Airport Boulevard, in fron~ of South City Ford where sidewalk repair work ~as done. The meters and meter poles were removed and not replaced. The meeting was adjourned at 5:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, APPROVED: -5- SPECIAL MEETING PARKING PLACE COMMISSION CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1~981 TIME: PLACE: CALL TO ORDER: MINUTES: CHAIRMAN PENNA: OLD BUSINESS Grand Avenue - Two Hour Parking Enforcement 3:05 P.M. Large Conference Room, City Hall The meeting was called to order at 3:05 P.M. by Chairman Pro Tem Dennis Rosaia PRESENT: Chairman Pro Tem Dennis Rosaia Commissioner David A Sciandri City Manager Walter Birkelo Officer Mike Dickson Parking Enforcement Officer A1 Borserio Finance Director William R. Anderson Accountant Alexander Yuen ABSENT: Chairman John Penna The minutes of the March 10, 1981 regular meeting was approved. Chairman Penna arrived 3:10 P.M. Commissioner Rosaia moved that item number 7, Two Hour Parking Enforcement be first on the agenda. Mr. Anderson indicated that correspon- dence was received from Mr. Nello C. Lazzari and Ms. Edna Harks on this matter. Also, the Commissioners should have a report from the Police Department on the warning citations issued. Mr. Nello C. Lazzari, 352 Commercial Street, representing the senior citizens, stated that it would create a hardship to move the car every two hours and to find another parking space. Mrs..Alfonso Suebert, 224 Northwood Drive, representing the South San Francisco Women's Club, indicated they do not lack parking space but the enforcement will create hardships since many of them have difficulty in climbing stairs. Parking is available in the non-metered area, however, in many instances packages and supplies have to be carried in. The building is rented for social affairs and the income is used for the upkeep of the building since it is a non-profit, philanthropic organization. CZ;~TR~r.L RECORDS FILE NO.:~,,~-,i.. Page 2 Parking Place Commission Minutes April 21, 1981 Grand Avenue - Two Hour Parking Enforcement (Continued) Mrs. Suebert further stated that many of the projects are City and community oriented. Ms. Violet Martin, 218 Carmelo Lane, represent- ing the South San Francisco American Associa- tion of. Retired People, stated that they are at the Senior Center almost everyday. They do not want to move the cars every two hours, nor have the tires chalked since it is diffi- cult to find parking space. Mr. Anthony Belene, 445 Alta Vista, was of the opinion that useage of parking meters and tires chalked was too much that one of them should be eliminated. Mr. Lazzari stated that the ordinance that has been put into effect be rescind6d. Mr. Anderson clarified that the two hour parking limit has been in effect for a long time, but the enforcement was recently instigated at the request of the Parking Place Commission. The Commission has received complaints from the merchants that this be enforced. Discussion and questions were asked regarding: Legality of marking tires - on-street/ parking lots. Merchants requested the two hour enforce- ment due to the loss of 40 parking space due to revitalization. 3. Availability of all the Parking lots. Avalability of monthly parking permits at $10.00 per mOnth. A request made that the lot next to the Senior Center have 10 hour meters installed as on Waln'ut Avenue Chairman Penna and the Commission members ex- plained in detail to the citizens present that certain procedures established in the by-laws, City Ordinance and Resolutions, and bond issuance must be followed. Page 3 Parking Place Commission Minutes April 21, 1981 Grand Avenue- Two Hour Parking Enforcement (Continued) It was agreed that a memo will be sent requesting Mrs. Fern Patrick of Park and Recreation to make a survey as to the number of cars and where they are parked be made available to the Commission for the next meeting. Chairman Penna and the Commission members expressed their appreciation for the attendance and hopefully by the next meeting we will have some answers. Commissioner Rosaia asked Parking Enforcement Officer Borserio if the Grand Avenue parking lot was filled and if half of the two hour meters should be changed to five hour meters. Mr. Borserio stated that before ll:O0 A.M. most of the senior citizens could be ac- commodated in the lot and that i'n his opinion the complete lot be converted into five hour meters causing less confusion. Officer Dickson would .like some input if five hour meters are to be installed bec.ause of the already established routine. A lengthy discussion followed regarding the Two Hour Parking Enforcement whether only certain areas should be enforced: Whether the core area - Airport, Baden, Miller, Grand, Cypress, Linden and Maple be enforced with the two hour parking and the 300 and 400 blocks of Baden and Miller be lifted. Officer Dickson stated that the residents may not be able to park in front of their homes since employees on Grand AVenue may take advantage of the space. Also, that it will interfere with the flip- flop parking on Monday and Tuesday 8:00 to ll:O0 A.M. Or, reverse the above plan to placate the senior citizens. Page 4 Parking Place Commission Minutes April 21, 1981 Grand Avenue - Two Hour Parking Enforcement (Continued) Walnut Avenue Blue Sky Session Master Parking Plan ® Commissioner Sciandri questioned if this enforcement is effective immediately. Officer Dickson commented that no dis- position was made to the senior citizens and that answers would be forthcoming at the next meeti.ng. He further suggested that notice for the next meeting be sent to all those concerned and the location be changed to accommodate a larger crowd. Mr. Anderson suggested that before a decision is made the Master Parking Plan should be considered. Walnut Avenue is now back in operation and the meters should be installed in the next few days. On a trial bases, as agreed by the Commission, the Finance Office will sell 20 monthly permits for Walnut Avenue only. Chairman Penna suggested that ~ large "ONE WAY ONLY" sign is needed for traffic going east bound on Grand Avenue. Mr. Anderson will request the City Engineer to look into this matter. Mr. Anderson in discussion with Mr. Christians and Mr. Birkelo agreed that the Blue Sky Session will tie in with the Master Parking Plan which will be introduced today. Commissioner Rosaia would like to make a recommendation that a memo be sent to Community Development for confirmation of a Blue Sky Session due to the many problems. Mr. Birkelo introduced the Master Parking Plan in outline form consisting of four pages. Basically D'Amico's plan was used and was prepared by Mr. Birkelo and Mr. Anderson. The plan will be sent to all the departments for their input and hopefully received in time for the next meeting. With the additional input it would be revised which would make it a good vehicle for discussion with the Planning Com- mission and perhaps branch off into the Blue Sky area. Mr. Birkelo further informed that a recent joint session with the Council and the Planning Commission the no parking require- ments in the downtown development was discussed, that this item be given your first consideration. Various aspects of the plan were discussed and would be continued at the next meeting. Page 5 Parking Place Commission Minutes April 21, 1981 Grand Avenue Lot 75' North Side and Miller Lot - North Side Air Rights Joint Session with Council NEW BUSINESS Additional Parking Enforcement Officer Position Truck Delivery Zones - Grand Avenue Parking Stall - West side of Linden at Third Lane Mr. Anderson was of the opinion that this should be worked in with the Master Parking Plan. A cohesive plan should be developed regarding air rights and selling easement property. Retained on agenda as a reminder. The Commission discussed the possibility of an additional enforcement officer since Mr. Borserio covers not only the District but other areas as well. Chairman Penna questioned if the revenues from the citations could be deposited in the District and the salaries be paid from the District. Mr. Anderson commented that the Chief of Police may request for an additional position. Mr. Birkelo informed the Commission that there is a study being made by the Courts. Due to the backlog, 10,000 citations were destroyed and they are looking for options that the cities do their. own billing. The initial billing from the city and if paid within 10 days would be $5.00; when forwarded to the Court an additional $10.00 will be added; if it is sent to Sacramento the license will be revoked. This will bring additional revenue to the City, but will be time consuming to process. Correspondence was received from Mr. Frank J. Strazzarino addressed to Mr. Michael W. Sattel and a reply sent by Mr. Bob Yee. The problem was discussed at some length, but again this ties in with the Master Parking Plan. A cohesive plan is needed and a policy establish- ed instead of trying to respond to individual complaints° The parking stall on the south side (corner of paint store) only allows about 1-1/2~feet to 2 feet before the vehicleis actually in the alley. Mr..Anderson will request the City Engineer to make a study so that clearance can be obtained for the big trucks to make the turn. Page 6 Parking Place Commission Minutes April 21, 1981 Brentwood Parking Lot The maintenance cost of the lot will be incurred by the Association of Owners at no cost to the City~ The lot was donated to the City and will remain City property. Very little maintenance has been. done, however, it now requires overlay, restripping, etc. The property owners will have to take care of this matter. The meeting was adjourned at 5:20 p.m. Approved: Respectfully submitted, REGULAR MEETING PARKING PLACE COMMISSION CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1981 LARGE CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL TIME: PLACE: CALL TO ORDER: MINUTES: OLD BUSINESS Walnut 'Avenue 3:05 P.M. Large Conference Room, City Hall The meeting was called to order at 3:05 P.M. by Commissioner Rosaia Present: Commissioner Dennis Rosaia Commissioner Peter Ruggeri Finance Director William R. Anderson Absent: Chairman John Penna - Out of Town The minutes of the December 9, 1980, regular meeting was approved. Mr. Anderson reported that the contract was awarded at the last Council meeting. The con- struction, upon completion of the paper work, should be starting within the next week or so. The contractor will have 45 working days to com- plete the project with an extension f6r rainy days. The Commission, at the last meeting, was in agreement to recommend to Council that Walnut Avenue project be deemed as alt day parking and pricing to be the same as the lots. Commissioner Rosaia entered a motion and seconded by Commissioner Ruggeri that the pricing to be 50¢ for 10 hours, 25~ for five hours, 10¢ for 2 hours, and 5¢ for one hour. The motion was animously passed. Mr. Anderson stated that the l0 hour meters were available. He was further informed by Mr. John Previti if the need'arises the 10 hour meters can be modified into 5 hour meters by replacement of parts. CENTRAL RECORDS FILE N 0.: .~,...,./..,..~../]..-- Page 2 Minutes - Parking Place Commission January 13, 1981 Walnut Avenue (continued) Cypress/Miller Lot Blue Sky Session Master Parking Plan Chairman Penna, at the last meeting, inquired if a parking permit could also be used. Upon checking with the Police Department, Captain Swinfard and Mr. A1 Borserio expressed concern in mixing permit of lot and street parking which may result in enforcement problems. However, the possibility of issuing a monthly permit restricted solely to Wanut Avenue was approached. It was suggested by Mr. Anderson that Council be ap- proached requesting issuance of an ordinance that Walnut Avenue between Grand and Miller Avenues be used as a meter street and that the Parking District may issue monthly permits. In having this flexibility, the permit may be rescinded at any time. Motion was entered by Commissioner Rosaia that Walnut Avenue from Grand to Miller Avenues to be used as a meter street and a monthly permit may be issued, restricted to Walnut Avenue only. The motion was unanimously passed. It was agreed that until we hear from them to delete it from the Agenda. Mr. Anderson reiterated that with the Redevelop- ment Agency project deadline of April l, 1980, they have been unable to schedule a Blue Sky Session. They have been attending numerous, time consuming meetings.~wi~h H~mart.Company regarding the Grand Avenue Overpass, off-sight improvements, sharing of the bridge and Oyster point ~nterchange, etc. Mr. Birkelo and Mr. Anderson have been unable to accomplish any further work on the Master Parking Plan due to the urgency of the Redevelopment project. Given'the opportunity, they will con- solidate D'Amico's plan together with the recom- mendation by Staff and will present the plan to the Commission at the earliest date possible. Page 3 Minutes - Parking Place Commission January 13, 1981 NEW BUSINESS Operating Reports Mr. Anderson explained that due to the illness in the office staff, the operating reports have been delayed. Commissioner Rosaia inquired if any figures were available on the loss of revenue due to the Grand Avenue Revitalization program. The report ending December 4, 1980, which will be forthcoming within the next few days, will have the needed information. Leasing of Air Space Commissioner Rosaia broached the possibility of leasing the air space above the parking struCture, speCifically on Grand Avenue, south side, (next to Topper's Restaurant) a 50 feet lot. A lengthy discussion followed as to location, financing method, whether it would actually increase parking since additional office space would generate more people. It was agreed by all that with the present high interest rate, it would be a few years before this project can be conceived. Commissioner Rosaia, however, stated that this project should be kept in mind for future ad- =~.~ ~, ditonal revenue and to be worked in, with the Master Parking Plan and for discussion during the Blue Sky Session. Zoning/Bonds Commissioner Ruggeri stated if South San Francisco starts to develop, we do not have funds to provide for parking. It was suggested that the present bonds be paid off, make the district larger and have the property owners agree to a tax. Mr. Anderson commented that all taxes are virtually out and it would have to be a revenue bond or an assessment district. It was discussed that perhaps a change in zoning and permit regulations for the downtown area, i.e., if a developer dOes not provide for parking, then payment is made to the Parking District just as the developers now pay the park dedication fee. Selling of Property Mr. Anderson stated he received a call from the owner of Pete's Restaurant whether the Parking District would be amenable to selling a portion of the 75 feet lot on the north side. It was suggested that he submit a letter, or was invited to attend the meeting to explain his plans. Thus far there has been no further contact.
