2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF SPECIAL JOINT WORKSHOP MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 1990, SPECIAL
JOINT MEETING WITH SCHOOL BOARDS OF JANUARY 17, 1991, AND REGULAR MEETING OF
JANUARY 22, 1991 (CC)
Councilmember Breiner remarked that at the top of Page 3 of the January 22, 1991
minutes, the second paragraph, should read, ". . . all trees intended to be saved
during the installation. . ." instead of the word "removed".
Councilmember Boro stated that on the St. Vincent's/Silveira issue, he had made a
comment to one of the members of the public about hoping for a spirit of cooperation
as we went forward with this new committee. He asked that the tape be reviewed and
that a synopsis be done of his remarks. He said he had made the comment in response
to Mr. Dickinson's comment about fairness of the Committee.
Councilmember Shippey noted that on Page 7, Mr. Leon Eddinqs' name was misspelled
as Eddy. He then noted that on Page 6, in regard to the discussion of looking at the
books of the landfill, which had evolved from the discussion about the largest portion
of the Marin Sanitary's raise in fees was due to the landfill charges, he thought there
was some discussion as to what the resolution of that investigation might be. He
noted there was no mention of a resolution of the issue in the minutes.
Mayor Mulryan indicated he recalls that the Council did, in fact, ask staff to do
that and advise the Council how deep into the organization we could get. Mr. Shippey
said he would like to see that in the Minutes.
Councilmember Thayer stated she thought Mr. Boro had asked her to go back to the Solid
Waste Committee and find out what had pushed the rates up for the landfill. She
stated she will get back to the Councilmembers on it. Mayor Mulryan stated that
Marin Sanitary is in the process of funding an audit of the Redwood Sanitary Landfill.
Ms. Thayer noted that on Page 8 of the Minutes where the various members of the public
spoke, Don Dickinson had expressed his preference for Option 2, which was the previous
Alternative considered in the General Plan. She stated that with regard to John
Starkweather's comments, he said that an Alternative would be Option 2, not the
Opportunities and Constraints. Mayor Mulryan stated he did not recall that.

Councilmember Breiner noted that in the letter of appeal from the Linden Lane
Neighborhood Association reference is made to a letter they wrote on January 8,
1991. Since a copy of that letter was not attached, she asked that the Council be
furnished a copy in their next packet.

8. LEGISLATION AFFECTING SAN RAFAEL (CM) - File 9-1
Councilmember Breiner inquired about the revenue item referring to a tax on dog and
cat products. Ms. Nicolai responded that this is for information, and will probably
be on the next Mayors' and Councilmembers' agenda. Ms. Thayer stated that she will be
reporting to the Legislative Committee this month and making a recommendation, so
she would like some feedback from the Council.
Ms. Nicolai stated that in working with the Managers' group and dealing with the
whole issue of animal control and its impact, and sharing the cost, this is one of
the issues they feel very strongly that they should pursue. She stated it equates
to a user fee in a way, that pet owners generating a need for the services of the
Humane Society should pay a proportionate share to support it. She said the point
is to get it up to State level, so that the tax is included on pet food and is
collected and redistributed back to the counties, specifically to offset the cost
of animal control. She stated she feels that this is something the City should
aggressively encourage, even though she is a pet owner.
Ms. Breiner asked if there was any discussion about how much money the County would
get back, and how much cat licensing would bring in. Ms. Nicolai stated that the
legislation has not yet been specifically drafted, so she cannot say at this time.
She stated that a recommendation could be made that it be structured in a way to
have it redistributed back to the point of sale, or at least to the County's point
of sale. Ms. Breiner agreed with that concept, stating that Marin residents have
many pets, so that would be equitable.
Councilmember Boro noted that on Page 4 of the report it states, "The monies shall
be used by local governmental animal care and control agencies to augment established
programs and activities. . .". He stated he had read earlier that this was actually
going to be as an offset for current animal control costs. He stated he wishes the
Council could convey to the Legislative Committee that coming up with something for
the homeless would be much more constructive than regulating pets. He stated he does
not agree with the priorities.
Mayor Mulryan inquired if this would actually be an offset, and Ms. Nicolai pointed
out that Mr. Vaso's memo stated that it would defray 35% of the current year's cost
of animal control. Councilmember Thayer to report back to the MCCMC Legislative
Committee that the City Council wants the wording amended to be an offset, rather than
a supplement.
Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Boro seconded, to approve staff recommend-
ation: Support SB169 (Boatright) Repeal of SB2557 which authorizes counties to charge
cities for the "cost" of booking prisoners in County jails and the administrative costs
for collecting property taxes.

10. PUBLIC HEARING - RE VACATION OF PEDESTRIAN WAY - BRET HARTE TERRACE UNIT TWO (PW)
- File 2-12 x 5-1-29
Mayor Mulryan declared the Public Hearing opened.
Public Works Director Bernardi stated that the Council is being asked to abandon the
City's interest in a pedestrian easement in the Bret Harte Terrace Two Subdivision.
He added it was dedicated and accepted on the Subdivision Map in 1952, but has not been
used as a pedestrian way for many years because of inaccessibility through lower
adjacent properties. He stated that if vacated, the 10 -foot -wide strip of land will
either be vested in fee to the City, or will be vested in the heirs or successors
of the original grantors as shown on the 1952 Final Map. He noted that ownership will
be determined by receipt of a current title report from anyone interested in acquiring
the strip. He stated that if the property is found to be owned by the City,
disposition must comply with City regulations for the disposal of excess or surplus
property. He added that should any of the adjoining property owners acquire the vacated
strip of land, none would be able to subdivide their property since they could not
comply with the City's existing slope ordinance.
Councilmember Boro noted that staff stated the City has been asked to take this action,
and he inquired who had asked. Mr. Bernardi responded it was the owner of Parcel 50
on Blossom Drive. Mr. Boro inquired if, in the event the City owns the property,
this individual would be interested in acquiring it. Mr. Bernardi responded in the
affirmative.

SRCC MINUTE_ Regular) 2/4/91 Page 4
Councilmember Thayer inquired why staff does not know whether the City owns the
property, and Mr. Bernardi explained that in the old days that was not required, and
the only way to determine the ownership is to do a title search.
Mr. Joseph Michalski, the resident who had inquired about the property, stated that
people have been using the area and damaging property, and he would like it to have a
chain link fence.
There being no further public input, the hearing was closed.
Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to adopt the Resolution
ordering vacation of the property.

11. PUBLIC HEARING - Z90-6 - PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE FROM C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT
TO P -D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ESTABLISH A MASTER PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE BLOCK
BOUND BY "B", "C", SECOND A D THIRD JIRLLIS, INCLUDING CONSIDERATION OF CERTIFICATION'
OF A NEGATIVE DECLARATION; TO INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CITY/COUNTY LIBRARY, RETAIL
LEASE SPACE AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS; AP #11-256-07, 08, 09, 12, 14, 15, 16, 21, 25,
26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 & 32 (P1) - File 10-3
Mayor Mulryan declared the Public Hearing opened.
Planning Director Pendoley gave an overview of the project, and stated the action
being requested of the Council at this meeting is to rezone the block selected for
the proposed City/County Library, and to certify a Negative Declaration. He announced
that the City is in the process of submitting a grant application to the State for
an allocation of funds under the Library Construction and Renovation Grant Bond Act
of 1988 for the Library. He stated that verification of a completed environmental
review process and appropriate zoning must be included in the grant application package.
Redevelopment Senior Planner Korzun informed the Council that the current application
guidelines were received in November, and the proposal must be in by February 15, 1991.
She stated that the Zoning is for 18 months, unless a building permit is issued.
She noted there will be use permits and environmental design permits and they will
go into detail on the use and design, however, this meeting is regarding the zoning
and Negative Declaration.
Mayor Mulryan inquired when the City will know whether we are getting the grant money.
City Manager Nicolai responded that no one knows at this time. Councilmember Thayer
inquired if the 18 months of zoning is sufficient for a second submittal if that is
necessary, and Ms. Nicolai responded it is, because the second submittal would have
to be in by June. Ms. Korzun noted that this zoning is specifically for this project,
and if the grant is not approved it will be null and void.
Ms. Korzun then explained that parking will be on site and in the Parking District
lot across the street. She said the design considerations came out of the discussions
on the Library Concept Plan. She noted that the design of the buildings on "B"
Street will be kept in harmony with the properties on the other side of "B" Street.
She stated staff wanted to make sure these would be affordable units and have parking
on "B" Street. She showed on a site plan where the library and residential/business
buildings will be in relation to each other, and noted that the concept plan is not
being incorporated into the zoning.
Councilmember Breiner stated she is concerned about the City having control over
the retail uses, since this will be a major Redevelopment project. She stated she
does not want to see a bar there, and noted it was not excluded in the zoning.
Ms. Korzun responded that she could add a condition that all retail must be subject
to a use permit, and it can be controlled in that way.
There being no public input, the Public Hearing was closed.

Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Boro seconded, to adopt the Resolution
certifying the Negative Declaration, with the one amendment under the Conditions
of Approval for retail that allowed uses will require a use permit.

NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None

that all uses are to be approved through the Use Permit process.
12. DISCUSSION OF OPTIONS FOR ST. VINCENT'S/SILVEIRA AREA (P1) - File 115 x 10-1 x 10-2
Planning Director Pendoley briefed the Council, stating that when this issue was before
them at their last meeting, several plans were outlined, and the Council voted for
Option 3, Opportunities/Constraints Analysis. He noted that the Council asked staff
to give the pro's and con's of a building moratorium until the study is completed.
Mr. Pendoley referred to a letter from City Attorney Ragghianti, in which he states
that an interim urgency Ordinance for the purpose of a moratorium is neither authorized
nor advisable until annexation of the properties is at hand.
Mr. Pendoley then addressed the possibility of removing the area from the urban service
boundary, since Council asked that it be explored. He stated that an urban service
boundary is defined in the General Plan as "the area which can reasonably be annexed
and provided urban services within a five year period, given the amount of potential
development within the City limits and limited circulation and sewage treatment plant
capacity or other service constraints". He noted that originally, the St. Vincent's/
Silveira properties were recommended to be placed outside of the urban service area,
because major circulation improvements and sewage treatment capacity improvements were
needed prior to development. He informed the Council that if they choose to take
away the urban service area it would require a General Plan amendment. He noted
that at Council hearings the St. Vincent's and Silveira representatives strongly
opposed being placed outside the City's urban service area because they wanted to
insure that they could proceed with their development applications and because they
wanted the Sanitary District to plan for them in the near term.
Mr. Pendoley then asked for guidance regarding the Citizens' Advisory Committee,
noting that the Council had mentioned all of the neighborhood groups throughout the City
be contacted and since there are 70 such groups, he wanted to make sure that was the
intent. He noted that could make the Committee much larger than planned.
Mayor Mulryan stated it is the intent of the Council to interview everyone who is
interested, and all of the neighborhood groups should be notified.
City Manager Nicolai stated she has been getting calls from Marinwood, and there
are six associations there, some being just small complexes which have their own
SRCC MINUTES (REgular) 2/4/91 Page 5
SRCC MINUTE- Regular) 2/4/91 Page 6
associations. She noted that only one will be chosen to represent Marinwood. Also,
the North San Rafael Coalition of Residents serves on behalf of the homeowners in the
Terra Linda area. Councilmember Thayer recommended asking the homeowners' associations
in the Terra Linda area if they have an overlap on the North San Rafael Coalition.
Mr. Pendoley requested discussion on the urban service area issue.
Ms. Thayer stated that in her opinion it would be an exercise in futility, and that
people's main concern is the land use. She added that nothing will happen in this area
for the next 5 to 10 years.
Mayor Mulryan stated that if the City took it out of the urban service area the public
would be aware of the City's intent to study it, and if something develops it could
be put back in.
Michael Marovich, of St. Vincent's/CYO, stated that as he had mentioned previously,
the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and St. Vincent's continue to be committed to
a joint planning process with the City of San Rafael. He stated they were pleased
to have the Council choose the Opportunities and Constraints Analysis, and they are
ready, willing and able to participate in that process. He stated they believe that a
reasoned, logical approach to planning will succeed. He said they desire to achieve
a common ground and are willing to seek consensus as it relates to the future disposition
of their property, and he feels this will reduce the anxiety on the part of the community.
He stated they have confidence in the leadership of the Council and the Planning
Department, and noted that the urban service area, if tampered with or removed,
will send the wrong message. He stated that a Specific Plan is the next logical step.
Chuck Daniels, St. Vincent's Trustee, informed the Council that the trustees are
continually briefed on the deliberations with San Rafael in the Planning process.
He said they support the logical sequence of the planning, and they are fully engaged
in the Planning process. He stated that Measure L was damaging, not only to St.
Vincent's, but to the City of San Rafael. He said that the Silveira family also
was pleased that it was defeated. He added there are many people who understand that
their land endowment could not be stripped from St. Vincent's. He stated that the
next logical step is the Opportunities and Constraints Analysis, but they are not
in favor of removing the land from the urban service area. He stated he would like
to work with the City and the Committee to reach a logical decision regarding St.
Vincent's lands. He stated they feel that their lands and the City of San Rafael
are one. Also, they are cognizant of the funding requirements, and are prepared to
meet them.
Auxiliar�Y Bishop Patrick J. McGrath of the Archdiocese of San Francisco and Trustee
of the CYO, informed the Council that the lands of St. Vincent's School are a very
special asset, placed in the care of children for the past 135 years. He stated as
CYO Trustees they have a very special stewardship and responsibility relating this to
their land endowment. He added that they need the highest and best use and responsible
values for their work with children and with youth. He noted that they serve 15,000
children and youth annually. The land endowment cannot serve them as it did in years
gone by, and now it must be a financial endowment in order to support the work. Bishop
McGrath stated he realizes the political process in which they have willingly
participated, and he also feels that consensus is the best way to reach a common ground.
He stated they ask for no special considerations or favors, but do ask that they be
treated fairly and that the special interests of a few do not compromise the St.
Vincent's property rights, nor those of the Silveira family, nor those of the City of
San Rafael.
Ronald Silveira representing the Silveira family, stated it would be ironic to be
excluded from the urban service area by action of the Council. He asked that they
be dovetailed into the Planning process. He expressed concurrence with the
Opportunities and Constraints Analysis approach, and feels that their lands and the
City of San Rafael should meld their mutual destinies.
Mayor Mulryan stated that the Council has said for some time, and the General Pian
states, that they will create a Committee and appoint a committee from the groups which
were indicated. He stated that, in his view, the moratorium is illegal and not a
consideration; limiting densities is similar. The only question is whether we go with
the urban service area change. He stated he would like to move forward just with the
creation of the Committee.
Councilmember Boro stated he had gone back on the chronology, and in 1987 when the
General Plan was adopted there was to be a Committee formed within 6 to 8 months.
He noted that the Council had chosen not to do that because of the constraints on
that land with respect to the utilities needed to develop it. Then, as a result of
the initiative which was sponsored in the City of San Rafael and circulated last Summer,
the Council revised the General Plan. Mr. Boro read two sentences from the amendment:
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/4/91 Page 6
SRCC MINUTE. Regular) 2/4/91 Page 7
"The St. Vincent's/Silveira Advisory Committee shall be appointed by the Council to
assist in the development of this specific plan"; and "The Committee may recommend
designations which modify the mix and revise the total potential downward". He stated
at that time the Council tried to send a message both to the general public and to
the property owners. Subsequent to that, in the September time frame, prior to the
election and once it (the initiative petition) had qualified for the ballot, the Council
agreed to form the Committee which is being finalized this evening. He stated he feels
we should now go ahead and let the process unfold and let the property owners, the
citizens, the special interest groups whether they be conservationists or housing
advocates, sit around the table and find a way to resolve this issue. He stated that
the issues discussed such as the moratorium, removal of the urban service corridor,
or changing the density, would really defeat the whole process. He stated if we want
to give the process credibility we should move ahead with the plan before the Council
this evening.
Councilmember Shippey stated he agrees with Mr. Boro, and this seems to be an orderly
process and he sees no need to make a decision at this time, but leave it in the hands
of the Committee.
Councilmember Shippey moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to appoint the Committee
as discussed and leave them discuss the options, through the consensus process.
Under question, Ms. Thayer stated that it is important for the Committee to be in
place very quickly. She stated she thinks the community is expecting some type of
action, and she agrees with what is being recommended tonight. However, she has some
concerns about the density because she has heard that another movement is under
way, and it will have to be with the specific densities which are in the General
Plan.
Mayor Mulryan responded that one of the goals of this Committee is to very thoroughly
study that very question, and he is sure the press will help in making that clear
to all of the people.
