mstrup referred to the Lengthy discusslon at theg of l{a y L0. Because there were just four members
Councilman Martin did not participate because offlict of interest, the remaining three members de-
attempt to make a recommendation with respect to
residentiaL uses. It was their position that thisdecision should be made by a majority of the Council . For that
reason, the subject is before the Council at this time.
Councilman Amstrup reported the committee made six recommendations:
RECOMMENDATIONS OE THE BAYFRONT STUDY AREA SUBCOMMITTEE
The Subcommittee consisting of CounciLman Irv Amstrup, Council-
woman Gloria Barton, PLanning Commissloner Charles Mink, Plannlng
Commissioner Tom Sine, Traffic, Safety & Parklng Commissioner
Richard Foley and Traffic, Safety & Parking Commissioner Harry
Graham, held two meetings; the first being Tuesday, April 11, 1978
and the Last being Wednesday, April L9, L978. At the conclusionof the second meeting, it was the consensus of the Subcommittee to
recommend to the City CounciL, the following.

density of about 25 units per acre and be limited in height to

He noted that the City Council must decide shall Blayney be directed
to pursue a mix of resldenttal' hoteLs, restaurants, office build-
ing}, etc. If so, what type of residenEial, multiple high-rise,
loro-rise, and where? Should residential be excLuded? Furthermore,
are office buildings desirable? There appears to be a feeling held
by some that they are not. These are the decisions to be made so
the studies can proceed to a concLusion.
Councilman Amstrup was not supportive of high-rise. If residential
is to be a part of the study, he would prefer low-Level.

CounciLwoman Barton commented thete appear to be a number of
peopte who feel strongly about hlgh-rise buiLdtngs. That issuewill surface when public heatings are held. She thought thatresidential, per se, should be explored so that it can be in-
cluded in the final teport. According to Blayney, office
buildings create much more of a traffic problem than residentiaL,
and the City realizes more revenue from restdential than officeuse. Also, Blayney lndicates some resldential wiLL create a more
balanced communLty, She recommended thst the final report cover
impacts of both Low and high rise dwellings.
For the benefit of the press and the audience, Councilwoman
Barton expLained that "iesidentiaLrr as discussed this evening
refers only to condominiums.
Councilman Mangint stated that the Council, along with decisions
on land use mix, must determine who is going to complete the
studies, in vtew of correspondence received from Mr. Blayney.
Councilman Mangint favored a study of restdential both low and
high rise, expLaining he was not committed to that type _of de-
vel.opment, bul committed to studying the impact for good or bad
on the City. If directlon is given to look at hlgh-rise, he
could envlsion a bLend with existing three targe buildings in
the area. This may not be feasible but should be considered.
Mayor Crosby stated it is incumbent upon the Council to exPedite
it's directiie to whomever wlll be doiirg the final rePort. - The
question is not whether high or Low buildings, but is residentlal
a proper use of Land along the Bay.
The Chair announced a motion to be in order.
Councilman Amstrup stated that the motlon shouLd include Location
and quantity of residential use.
Councilman Mangini asked about rezoning, should that be part of
the directive.
City Attorney expLained that zoning will follow after final recom-
mendations have been received.
Mayor Crosby asked lf it was necessary to decide at this time yes
or no on residentlal.
City Attorney considered that the Council rs prerogative.
hc be expanded.k some exceptions
where it might be
PLan. Also,
where could everybody accept residential . The Committee recognized
a portion of the- arei south of Airport Boulevard from the end of
Airport Parking parcel to the end of the Lagoon as the area they
couLd aII accept to consider for residential . One of the Planning
Commissioners made a very strong point of keeping the portion
north of Airport Boul-evard in C-4 District. By so doing, they
generally came to the concluston that the only area to be rezoned
might be the Drive-In Theatle, presently zoned M-1, as the initial
change in Anza territory. The auto auction would remain in C-4.
Mayor Crosby recalLed that, other than the committeets recommend-ation, there has been some discussion about the auto auction being
restdential . He asked the City Attorney if it was necessary to bethat speclfic about residentiaL sites.
City Attorney reported this would help consultant and staff.
Councilwoman Barton questioned paying for a teport if Council isto make the decisions. She felt that the Council should direct

consideration to dweLlings in the best possible places. Council
has authorLty to accept or reject.
CounciLman Amstrup commented that CounciL must face the simplefact that the experts are not going to tell Council anythingfurther at thts time. There must be a policy statement on whatit is that is to be studied. The consultants have stated where
they think residential should be. Now, Council has to say wethink we should look at residential, we should Look at such and
such an area. If there are other areas, conceivably, they will
be identified. Without those instructions to whomever ls goingto do the work, how can the study proceed. This is a declsionto be made by this Council .

With respect to drive-in theatre parcel, Councilman Amstrup
noted this will not be available for deveLopment for ten years.
Most of the people on the Committee felt that the auto auction
should be eliminated from residential consideration because itis cut off from the remalnder of the area, thereby detracting
from a composite complex.
Councilman Mangini considered the auction site a part of theyarit

comparing income to City over a span of years from non-residentialvs., residential (Plan 2.) ldayor asked the City Planner to comment.
Planner stated it was his understanding that benefits and costs toCity of proposed mix of land use will be determined. Thls is a
very significant factor when considering number of llving units and
amount of acreage to be developed. i
Following further discussion, there appeared to be a majority in
agreement to proceed with a directive for preparation of an alter-
nate plan encompassing residential Land use.
Councilman Manginlts motion to instruct whoever undertakes the
study to determine residentiaL impact on the bayfront recognize
that residential in this instance concelns condominium buildingsonly, high-rise and low-level construction, and that the Locationto be studied shall consist of Parcels L4, L7 and 18 as shown on

City Manager reported Blayney appears to be unwilling to arbitrate
the- $6927. It was City Manager's recommendation thaE staff assume
the work of items 20,2L and 22, subsection (f) of the contract.
City Planner stated there is considerable work to be done by
Blainey tf Council accepts his Alternative B, i.e., Items L5 through
f9 of -ntayneyts work prbgram. These wiLL include the residential
land use study authoxized by City Council, fiscal analysis, sources
of financing, General PLan amendment text, Draft_ EIR of the Pro-
posed Bayfront PLan. Planner stated these are all prelimtnary to
adoptlon and implementation of final Bayfront PLan.
Mayor Crosby recognized Mr. John Blayney. He stated his primary
concern: Non-payment, as provided by contract for work performed
in March. He stated City Planner declined to release Payment. Con-
cerning statements about his unwillingness to negotiate' _BLayneystated-he is asking only to be paid as the contract provides.
Neither of the two alternatives proposed will compensate for the
amount of time expended on the project. He wants the work to be
finalized, but there is a limit to what can be exPected when a job
intended to take 3-t months becomes a 9 to 12 month job. The
companyts records are avallable to City Staff.
There followed a series of questions directed by CounciLman Martin
concerning the request for an additional $6927 ar.d Blayney's re-
sponses. In justlfying the increase, Mr. Blayney stated that cotrt-
pleting the work of the contract is gotng to require more days
than they wilt be paid for under normal billing rates. He pointed
out that the contract provides that when the $35,000 is reached
the consultant is to be paid addltional fees if time schedule is
not adhered to.
Councilman Mangint asked who wiLl assume resPonsibility for the
additionaL work if the contract lgith Blayney ceases when the
$35,000 maiim-um has been ibached.

HEARINGS
Councilman Martin expressed some concern about time constraintsin connection with Urgency Ordinance No. lll3, due to exptre onJuly 6. It would appear that some action is required by- theCouncil to prevent reversion to the zoning existing prior toadoption of the urgency ordinances.
David Keyston assured the CounciL there wouLd be no appltcationsfor building permits on the Lands of Anza.
Director of Public Works suggested, if the Council were to con-sider directing the Planning Commission to expedite a hearing on
zoning amendments to require a speciaL permit for office buildings,possibLy an ordinance to implement the amendments could be intro-
duced in June by the Council with hearing and second reading atthe first meeting in July. Or, perhaps it could be an urgencyordinance. It was his impresston that an EIR would not be re-quired in this instance. Residential use could not be incLuded,
because it would require a general plan amendment and zoning code
amendments.

1. CHANGE OF SIGN COPY, MILLS ESTATE PHARI.,IACY
Under date of March 15, 1978, William A. Ojakian, 1818 EL Camino
159
ReaL, requested a hearing before City Council to appeal deniaL
by Planning Department and Planning Commisslon of permit toalter copy on two signs for the above business. Hearing was scheduledfor May L5 meettng.
Mayor Crosby acknowledged communications from Goorjian & McCabe,
Attorneys at Law, San Francisco, May 12 and City Attorney to City
Council, May 10, 1978.
City Attorney informed Council the issue is change of copy on two
nonlconforming stgns due to change in the nature of the business.
It was staffts poiition the permit coutd not be issued because of
non-conformity and that apptlcation should be made for a sign ex-
ception, The-appellant elected to appeaL staffrs interpretation to
th! Planning Commission where staff determination was sustained.
Declaring the hearing open, Mayor Crosby recognized PauI Goorjian,
Attorney representing lti. o3akian. I'1r. Goorjian stated there
appea1€to bE inferences in staff correspondence that he is attemPt-
iir! to bypass proper procedure. This is not the case. Section
22:08.O3O- of ttre -Sign-Code, in his opinion, provides for precisely
what his client is iequesting -- change in sign copy by the Person
who is operating and will continue to .operate the business. Mr.
Aram Ojai<ian esiablished the pharmacy/Liquor store- in 1965. Since
his deith, the family has continued the business, but there is not
a pharmacist ln the iamily and they cannot affod to emPloy one.
Thiv wish to oDerate as a Liquor store. Because pharmacy functions
wili cease, thi words "pharmacyt' and ttdrugs" must be removed from
the building by State liw. City staff and Planning Comrnission hold
that copy cann-ot be changed, that the signs must be removed.
In response to Councilman Ma8ginl, City-Planner reported the three
signs bn the building total 392 square feet. Far in excess of
silnage allowed undei current ordinance. It was for thls reason
that itaff recommended application for a sign except!9n.
Citv AtEornev stated it was staff rs intent when the ordinance was
dratted not io allow non-conforming signs to remain indefinitely,
-but to provide for abatement when a business c hanged . owners hip and
revised^copy was requested by a new ovrler. The condition that
exists here was not anticipaled by staff. It was the City Atto,rneyrs
position that the ordinancb should apply since atteraElons are being
proposed to a non-conforming sign.
In response to Mayor Crosby, there were no -comments pro or con from
the floor. The hearing was declared closed.
Mayor Crosby recalled he had misgivings and voled-agalnst the amended
siln ordinance. IIe thought it created too much of a hardshtp on
meichants. After looking at the sLgns on the building, he tended to
approve the request.
Councihooman Barton preferred that the applicant return to Planning
Commission for a sign exception'
Councilman l,lart in did not consider this a precedent setting situation.
The owner is being forced by State law to change his sign copy, which,
of itself, is an unusual circumstance.
Councilman Mangini asked if the two signs at the rear were removed
would square f6otage be in excess of Code. City Attorney confirmed
it would .
Mr. Goorjian agreed the tlro plastic signs,on the building exceed Code.
This occirred Secause the bultding was and is in rather an isoLated
area, a high crime area. The Large signs were tnstalled to Provideilluirinati6n at nlght. He consl-dered the roof sign and sign on face
of building importint for safety reasons.,,He agreed to removal of
painted wal.l sign and signs at back of building.
On condition painted walI sign is removed, Councilman Amstrup
agreed to vote in favor.
Councilman Mangini moved to approve a change in copy on roof signby replacing "bRUGS" with "l,tILLS ESTATE" ii smaLtei'lerrers, re-
moving "PHARMACY" from sign on building face and directing removalof painred wall sign "LIQU0R-BEER-WINE - CoCA C0LA" and 3x2 sign
"MILLS ESTATE PHARI'{ACY & LIQUoRS" attached to back wall. Motion
seconded by Councilman l"trartin carried unanimously on rolL ca11.
2. ANZA PARKING CORPORATION, 615 AIRPORT BOI,'LEVARD
SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION FOR AIRPORT PARKING FACILITY
7OT-8OI AIRPORT BOI,'LEVARD (TENTATIVE ADDRESS)
This application approved with conditions by Planning Commisslonat a regular meeting on February 27, L978, was subsequently
appealed by Councilman Amstrup. Council hearlng initiated on
Iul,arch 20, and was continued pending del-ivery of Blayney report.
Mayor Crosby reopened the hearing, requesting comment from City
P Lanne r .
Considering the amount of pending deveLopment in this generaL area,
Planner suggested Council approve a permit for the acreage lyingto the east of Lot 4. Land exchange for Sheraton Hotel approximates
64,000 sq. ft. Neither specific shape nor location were specified.
Nor have boundaries been determined for a potential connector road
between Airport Boulevard and Bayshore Freeway. At Planning Com-
mission meeting, staff recommended consideration to selection ofright-of-way. Commisston elected not to do that. Planner notedthat Council expressed a policy that there would be such a road.
Perhaps this ts another concern for the parking lot develoPment.
Comment ing that appltcant is asking for a l0-year interim Land use,
Planner stated he was uncertain how Council would establlsh lnterim
Land use policy r.rithin the concept of Blayneyrs proposed BayfrontpLan. He- suggested Council conslder approval for the parking-facility on a 10 acre parceL as the first stage and defer approval
for remainder portion.
Mr. David Keyston, Landowner, stated limitation of area would not
make project viable for a t0-year period. At the rate lot is
operating and growing, l0 acres would hamper its effectiveness as
an interim Land use.
Mayor Crosby asked Mr. Keyston did he say he would dedicate Land
foi a road through the paiking site. Mr: Keyston replied he had
said he might make a parcel available under certain conditions.
However, to date, he has been unable to learn precise terms of the
trade. Entrance to parking was changed so that a building would
not be located where, in his opinion, alinement of the future road
could be. It would appear that it uiLl be some time before that
alinement is fixed. He stated Anza is being flexible with its
plans to avoid interfering vrith either Sheraton Hotel trade or
roadway.
Mavor Crosby asked about total acreage in current proposal. Mr.
Keyston resbonded L6-L acres. He agreed to PLanning -
Commis s ion
conditions Lxcept that he would prefer to have the 30 foot front
setback removed- in the area that was originaLly proposed for
Sheraton parking. This is not the State parcel_but adjacent to
it. A paiking Layout simtlar to the one oPeratlng would be pre-
ferable.
Councilman l,Iangini asked about effect on total acreage shoutd
access road ma[eriaLize. Mr. Keyston indicated a reduction to 13
acres considering SheraEon Erade- and acreage for road.
In tesponse to Councilman Amstrup, Mr,. Keyston-said he owns Lot l'
It is ieased to American International Rent-A-Car- There is a
potentiaL buyer but sales option provldes there shall be no trans-
fer of EiEle until September.

Councilman l,lartin asked if Mr. Keyston would consider reducing
the 10 year optl-on. Ile responded there would be an excellent
opportunity to do thls the minute he heard from Council its
deiision on residential vs., office use' or if there were a
proposal for hotel development.
Councilman Martin asked were Planning Commission conditions
acceptable. Mr. Keyston affirmed they were. He had asked for
elimination of 112 aind understood that- 8, 9, and 12 of original
conditions had been removed .
City PLanner reported that Planning Commission minutes of
February 27, L978, recite approved condiEions.
Mr. Keyston questioned condition 6 requiring Plannilg Commisston
approvil of Landscape plans, commenting that such plans are,
nblmally reviewed by staff. He confirmed that existing billboard
will be abated.
Mavor Crosbv mentioned PLanner ts reference to a conditlon on
rtlht-of-way for freeway access. Mr. Keyston stated,,as indicated
to'staff, Aiza is commiited to donate to- city eventually a 20 I
strip at the lower end of the property . If thls strip could be
maintained and given an easement by City, he felt an option for
right-of-way could be arranged.
City Attorney commented if decisionthis would be a very expensive plece
ition that the Land might better be

Concerning Sheraton trade, Mr. Keyston stated he was,willing to

who was to assume ownership of hotel !'ras to be principal in land

Councilman l,Ia ng ini asked does agreement with Sheraton provide to
City a choice of land. Mr. Keyston stated he favored the City
having L-L acres adjacent to dump proPerty.
Councilman Amstrup raised the issue of the access road never betng
built. During eniuing discussion, Mr. Keyston advised he lntended

would not know about the access road by September 1.
Councilman Martin suggested a condition allowing City not to make a
