BUSINESSES IN THE M-1 AND C-4 DISTRICTS
City Planner reviewed her memo of November 30 which recommended
council hold a public hearing and take action. In May council
directed staff to prepare a study of the number and impact of car
rental businesses on traffic and development in the M-1 district.
After revievr of the study, the Planning Commission recommended a new
ordinance which would not aIIo\^' car rental in the M-1 district on
the \"rest side of 1 require a use permit for those busj-nesses inide of 101, prohibit car rental in officecertain criteria to further limit use: that itite; that the site be minimum size of one acre;ge for at least 25 percent of the cars rented

intersections. The ordinance also prohibited car rental businessesin the C-4 zone except those incidental to hotel use. If council
wished to place additional requirements that limit car rentals to an
absolute number, there is suggested wording in the staff report that
could be added to the ordinance. If council desires to add this
wording to the ordinance the city Attorney recommends that, sincethis is a substantial change in the ordinance, the public hearing be
contj-nued to the next meeting.
Mayor Amstrup opened the public hearing. There being no cofiunents,
the hearing was closed.
Councilman Lembi inquired what parking a hotel would use, since this
ordinance precludes a hotel from using its allotted parking spacesfor car rental uses. City Planner replied that some of our hotels
have surplus parking spaces, those hotels could allocate some oftheir surplus spaces for car rental uses.
Councilman Mangini corunented that he had originally asked for alimit on the number of car rental businesses, but he novr thinks thatthis ordinance would provide adequate control of this type business.
Councilwoman Barton moved adoption of ORDINANCE 1383. Seconded by
Councilman Mangini, carried unanimously 4-0 by voice vote.
AMUSEMENT PERMIT FOR SAFARI Rl'N 1305 BAYSHORE
City Manager reviewed the City Attorney's memo of November 29 which
recoNnended council grant an amusement permit to this business for a
period of seven months, until July l-, 1989 when other amusement
permits are reviewed for renevral . Edward Austin has taken over the
operation of the former 'rCheeks" and changed the name to Safari Run.
He did not realize that he needed a new amusement permit until
contacted by the city. The Po1ice Department has experienced
problems with this site, particularly the mix of crowds j-n the
parking Iot which is shared by Partnerrs and the Hyatt theater. Mr.
Austj-n's attorney has submitted a letter with plans for additional
security personnel in the parking lots to control the problems'
Councilwoman Barton expressed concern that seven months may be too
long to grant for the amusement permit with all the problems listedin the potice report. Commander Chase reviewed problems experienced
by police; that it is hard to determine which bar these people are
patrons of; that Austin has hired several large persons to enforce
control in the parking 1ots. Councilman Mangini wanted Partnerrs to
be made aware of the problems.
Mayor Amstrup opened the floor to corunents.
Richard Mortola, attorney for Austin, noted the seven people hired
to patrol the lots, they are in contact by radios to assist each
other in control; the area is a very busy parking 1ot; Austin has
invested much money in this business and needs the amusement permit
for as long as possible.
Councilwoman Barton commented that Austin appears to be willing to
cooperate. She moved to al1ow the amusement permit until JuIy 1,
