16. PUBLIC HEARING - SMITH RANCH HILLS: (P1) - File 5-1-290 x 10-3
(a) Z85-7 - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING FOR SMITH RANCH HILLS
RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX; NORTH REDWOOD DR.; GRAUSZ INVESTMENT CO., OWNER;

(b) P85-1 - DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR SMITH RANCH HILLS RESIDENTIAL
COMPLEX (SMITH RANCH MASTER PLAN AREAS 5, 5A, 5B & 12 AS AMENDED AND
REVISED).
(c) NAMING OF NEW ROADS.
Mayor Mulryan declared the public hearing opened.
Planning Director Moore gave an overview of the final approvals needed
to commence construction of the Smith Ranch Hills Retirement and Rental
Apartment projects. A Development Agreement between the City and the
Developer was initiated to assure that the apartment units would be
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/3/85 Page 3
SRCC MINUTES (Regula 6/3/85 Page 4
built in a timely fashion and would relate to the senior complex and
address other details.
Councilmember Breiner asked City Attorney Ragghianti about the
subletting or assigning of lower or moderate income units.
City Attorney Ragghianti responded that the section referred to
indicates that the low and moderate income units will only be sublet or
assigned to individuals or families who meet the qualifications for
such units. Mr. Ragghianti then called upon Mr. Dick Bornholdt
representing the Housing Authority and the Marin Housing Development
Corporation.
Mr. Bornholdt referred to the compliance of the low income segment,
indicating that for the first 10 years, there is a specific regulatory
agreement the Housing Authority will be enforcing that outlines the
concerns Mrs. Breiner had in detail. With respect to the moderate
income units, there is no draft of this segment as yet, pertaining to
the moderate income units, that will require that any subletting have
prior written approval of the manager or the owner, but that the
Housing Authority could implement the City's goals without having this
a specific part of the Development Agreement.
Councilmember Breiner asked to have clarification for the record, on
the Development Agreement, page 14, that paragraph 15 is to have the
wording that "A covenant running with the land would need to be
established; Item 17." City Attorney Ragghianti indicated this would
be covered because the whole agreement would be recorded.
Councilmember Breiner also suggested an agreement be made between the
City of San Rafael and the Housing Authority to take care of issues
that the City would take part in, i.e., at the end of ten years, the
housing group can make a decision as to whether to buy the units with
the 10 percent interest they have or to use that money elsewhere in San
Rafael for low income housing. She suggested the agreement also
include the monitoring of the subletting and assignment of low or
moderate income units.
Mr. Bornholdt replied that this is possible and that the understanding
of the Housing Authority and Marin Housing Development Corporation is
to implement the goals of the City and act on the City's behalf, being
in a partnership arrangement with the developer. A Memorandum of
Understanding of how this is to be implemented along with the
Partnership Agreement would not be a problem.
Dr. Henry Grausz, wanted clarification that this is an understanding
between the Housing Authority and the City of San Rafael, and that his
firm, Grausz Investment Co.; owner, is not a party to this
understanding. Dr. Grausz also commented that this affordable housing
project will meet the requirements the City asked of them and that the
retirement project will be of high quality.
Mr. Irving Schwartz, representative of the Silveira Ranches, spoke on
the right-of-way re the North/South arterial, and requested that the
roadway bench that is to be graded, be graded wider than the 50 feet
proposed to accommodate the arterial.
Planning Director Moore indicated that this was discussed extensively
at the Planning Commission hearing,
grading of a 100 feet at this time,
project.
and staff did not recommend a full
because it is not warranted by this
Councilmember Russom asked Ms. Moore what the ramifications would be
for the cost of the future grading, and what provisions have been made
to pay for it when it becomes necessary.
Ms. Moore stated that because of the transportation improvement detail
that needs to be worked out in the North San Rafael Policy Plan that
has been prepared, staff indicated that Phase Two needed additional
transportation information in it. She explained that is an example of
the kind of work that needs to be done, and indicated there are no
estimates for that cost. The right-of-way cost is taken care of by
dedication.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/3/85 Page 4
SRCC MINUTES (Regulai, 6/3/85 Page 5
Ms. Moore further stated that staff would be hesitant at this time to
recommend as a condition to this project that full grading be done now
with the cost to be borne by the developer.
Councilmember Frugoli indicated that as long as there is the land
easement, the improvements could be done when the road goes in.
Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing.

1600 LOS GAMOS RD.; FIREMAN'S FUND INSURANCE CO., OWNER; YMCA OF SAN
FRANCISCO, REP.; AP165-010-95 (Pl) - File 5-1-298 x 115 x 10-3
Mayor Mulryan declared the public hearing open.
Planning Director Moore indicated that she would respond to any
questions the Council or audience had about the General Plan Amendment
and Rezoning needed in order to facilitate approval of the Design
Review application for the YMCA facility.
Councilmember Russom asked Ms. Moore when the mitigation fee would be
brought to Council, and Ms. Moore replied that the general guidelines
were set down with the conditionally approved use permit for the
project and the specifics would be worked out with the Design Review
Board, because there would be some variation on the square footage.
Staff recommended a special condition whereby the timing of collection
of the traffic mitigation fee is delayed so actual monitoring of the
facility would be done.
Councilmember Breiner asked if the children's Day Care prior to the PM
peak period is strictly for people who use the facility or where people
drop their children off for supervision.
Mr. Ray Foreaker, member of the Board of Directors of the YMCA, stated
he could not answer the question directly. However, their intention
was that the YMCA could keep the PM peak traffic down by ending their
instructional activities in the afternoon a half hour before the PM
peak time begins, and to offer special incentives to employees of
Fireman's Fund.
Ms. Moore indicated that the project is unique in that YMCA would be
developing marketing strategies to attract First California Mortgage
Company and Fireman's Fund employees, resulting in the YMCA taking
traffic off the road during the PM peak time.
Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing.

18. ED84-22 and P85-9 - REPORT ON HAYES STREET CLOSURE; 1606 THIRD STREET
(PL) - File 3-5-27 x 10-7 x 5-1-299
Planning Director Moore briefed her staff report, indicating favorable
neighborhood response had been received to the possible closure of
Hayes Street to through vehicle traffic as part of a 25 unit apartment
building project at 1606 third Street.
Councilmember Breiner stated that after the Police and Fire
Departments' review on the closing is made, they should discuss
whatever suggestions they might have with the neighbors before this
comes back to Council.
Acting City Manager Nicolai stated that the Traffic Committee will be
discussing this with community members as well.
Planning Director Moore indicated that the developers can proceed at
this point, but they are to report back after the neighborhood
discussions are held. She continued to state that there seems to be a
concern that the project needs to have parking on the street in order
to meet its parking requirements, but this is not the case, and that
the proposed project does meet all the necessary parking requirements
on the site, and anything gained on the street via closure or retained
without closure has no bearing on the project.
In response to a question from Councilmember Russom, Ms. Moore stated
that the developers are complying with all conditions of approval with
the design review in order for the building permit to be issued. The
staff report submitted to Council tonight was one of the matters that
needed to be satisfied, and there were other matters to be reviewed by
the Design Review Board, so that the building permit is very close to
being issued.
Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Nave seconded, that staff
is to go forward with the detailed multi -departmental review including
meeting with the neighbors.

19. REPORT ON PARKING FACILITIES IN DOWNTOWN SAN RAFAEL (PW) - File 183
Public Works Director Bernardi reported that, as directed by Council,
staff had various sites analyzed for the feasibility of constructing
parking facilities in the downtown area. Mr. Bernardi pointed out the
locations as follows:
1) Existing parking lot at the northeast corner of Third Street and
Lootens Place; 2) Existing lot mentioned above, plus the commercial
property to the north; 3) Addition of a third level to the existing
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/3/85 Page 7
SRCC MINUTES (Regular, 6/3/85 Page 8
parking structure at Third Street and Lootens Place; 4) Existing City
owned parking lot at Fifth Avenue and Lootens Place, plus the adjoining
residential property to the West; 5) Existing Macy's parking lot; 6)
Easterly portion of the City Hall complex above the Police Department
parking lot.
Mr. Bernardi pointed out that the Consultant concludes that Location
(1) is the most cost effective of all locations, and asked Council that
if they wanted staff to proceed with any of these locations, staff
would come back to Council with funding sources.
Councilmember Russom suggested that more research be done on Location
(3) which is behind Macy's Department Store and San Rafael Joe's
Restaurant, to see if it is feasible to add two floors to the
structure, converting it to a total of four parking levels.
Councilmember Frugoli indicated that there might be a problem if the
existing garage was to be demolished, losing 188 parking spaces for a
fair amount of time.
Councilmember Breiner commented that there is a policy decision that
faces the Council, because there are no 6 level parking structures.
This is in reference to Item 3, Proposal (1), Page 2 of the proposal
made by Copple Foreaker Associates, Inc. which would present a
difference in costs. Mrs. Breiner mentioned Item 4, of the staff
report, the existing lot mentioned plus the commercial property to the
north, that this be considered as an expansion of the City owned
parking lot currently there.
After discussion, Council agreed that: 1) Staff to look at funding
sources for Location (1); Staff will investigate having two additonal
levels for Location (3), and the costs of demolition. Also, the
possibility of phasing Location (2) and (1), with the cost amount.
Also, staff to come back to Council with costs of different level
garages.
Council accepted the staff report, without motion.
20. STATUS REPORT ON CATV MASTER FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH VIACOM
CABLEVISION (CM) - File 9-7-4
Councilmember Breiner stated that this item was on the agenda as
informational and asked if there were any questions that needed to be
taken care of.
Councilmember Russom inquired of Councilmember Breiner, the length of
time an agreement will be in force once it has been reached, and Mrs.
Breiner responded that this is one of the items that will be reviewed,
but that they are looking at a 10 year agreement.
Council accepted staff report, without motion.
