RE: PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF PROPOSED SUBDIVISION - SIXTEEN (16) LOT PLUS REMAINING ACREAGE TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP LAS COLINDAS UNIT 11 - EXTENSION OF WINTERGREEN TERRACE - File 10 -
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open.
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner informed the Council that they had before them copies of the
Planning Commission minutes containing a list of conditions imposed in the approval of the subdivision
map, planning staff report (as presented to the Planning Commission) and a small map of the proposal. He
pointed out that the area to the south of the subdivision is outside of the City limits and in answer to
the Council's question stated that no conditions had been imposed on the large parcel of approximately
152 acres.
Carol Lee Krieger, 618 Las Colindas read and presented to the Council a petition containing 212 signatures.
Jean Starkweather, 612 Las Colindas discussed the several springs and marshes in the area and the various
marsh plants which grown because of the water.
John Starkweather, 612 Las Colindas stated that the area is subject to slides each year due to the ex-
cessive ground water. He suggested that detailed geologic mapping should be required for the engineer-
ing development of slopes in addition to the soil engineering studies required for site development.
Mr. Lyn Parker, 641 Las Colindas spoke of the underground springs which now drain through his yard and
thought the proposed development might disturb the ground as it now exists and could well re-route the
water.
Mr. Albert Schilling, 656 Knocknaboul Way showed pictures of the run-off of water from the hill above
his place.
Dr. A. W. Hoke, 915 Las Ovejas Avenue presented the request of the Terra Linda Springs Homeowners Associa-
tion for a 90 day moratorium to allow time to obtain geologic studies and soild analysis to clarify this
issue.
Mr. Bud Sthymmel, 642 Las Colindas Road stated that he had appealed the approval of this seventeen lot
development because there is no thoroughfare existing from Wintergreen Terrace which creates a serious
handicap in fire and police protection. He suggested a 40 foot easement of the contina .tion to the
east of Knocknaboul connecting with Wintergreen Terrace. This easement would house the sewer, gas,
water and electric lines and when the property to the south is developed a dedicated street would be put
on this existing easement.
Mrs. Roberts, #1 Wintergreen Terrace is opposed to the subdivision for all of the reasons mentioned but
particularly because of the bad traffic problem.
Mr. John Stuber of Murray and McCormick, Engineers for the subdivision and representing the owner stated
that the subdivision complies with all City requirements, meets the requirements of the Slope Ordinance,
no variances are being requested, all utilities can be provided. There are no fire protection problems
and no legitimate reason for denying the map. They will comply with all the conditions imposed by the
Planning Commission and do not object to the extension of Knocknaboul Way.
City Engineer, Ely Caillouette, Jr. was questioned by the Council concerning the extension of Knocknaboul
Way and agreed that this would give a better traffic circulation.
Councilman Barbier mentioned that the San Rafael and Terra Linda Fire Department have a mutual aid agree-
ment for fire protection in that area.
Mayor Bettini asked again about the water problem and if the drainage could be taken care of so as to
prevent any damage to the adjacent property owners. The City Engineer expressed the beliefs that with
proper soils, engineering and geological studies the drainage would be adequately taken care of.
City Attorney, Fred Robbins, Jr. answered Mrs. Priscilla Bull's question that this area has not been
designed as a plain area.
Mayor Bettini delcared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Jensen, seconded by Councilman Barbier, to deny the appeal and uphold the
Planning Commission's approval of the tentative subdivision map with the addition of one condition that
Knocknaboul Way be extended to meet Wintergreen Terrace and one-half of the right-of-way be improved to
standard specifications of the City and a soil and engineering study be made before the final map is pre-
sented.

RE: REVOCATION OF USE PERMIT 70-105 - ALVIN AND RHODA WASSERMAN AND DAVID AND RUTH ROSEN - 1715 LINCOLN
AVENUE - File 10-5
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open.
City Attorney, Fred Robbins, Jr. advised the Council that it was sitting as a quasi-judicial body to
determine whether or not the use permit has been violated and whether or not under the circumstances the
use permit should be revoked. He outlined the procedures to be followed in the calling of witnesses,
swearing them in, examining and cross examining witnesses.
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner addressed the Council stating that they had before them a copy of
the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of March 28th, in full, as they pertain to this item; a
copy of the map that accompanied that action to the Planning Commission; a report dated April 27th, 1972
entitled ''Report and Recommendations Resulting from Public Hearing to Consider Revocation of Use Permit
70-105, 1715 Lincoln Avenue'' which summarized the action relative to and leading up to the decision of
the Planning Commission to not revoke the use permit. Mr. Hotchner quoted from the report the primary
points brought up at the public hearing before the Planning Commission. He stated that he had a complete
file including copies of some sixty letters to the Planning Commission from patients who had been treated
at the Therapy Center. The use permit was issued in 1970 and the specifications on the application state
''Use Permit to Allow Doctor's Office on Property''. The question raised at the Planning Commission hear-
ing was whether the use for psychiatric treatment in the manner conducted was a doctor's office in the
context of the use permit. Other questions raised were residency on the site, parking and other problems
and the Planning Commission made the determination and unanimously recommended that the use permit should
not be revoked. In answer to the Council's question, Mr. Hotchner stated that in the R-4 transient re-
sidential district which governs this property, professional offices (doctor's offices) are permitted and
that two limitations were placed on the use permit (1) that three professional people be permitted to
operate on the site and (2) residency be limited to these professional people.
Mr. Joseph Sheeks representing the owners of the property and the people who are exercising the use of the
property, Mr. David Rosen and Mr. Alvin Wasserman spoke, pointing out that the issue here tonight is
solely the question of whether or not use permit has been exercised in a manner in which it was granted.
Dr. David Rosen was sworn in and testified that the use permit obtained on December 1st, 1970 provides
for office use involving three person exclusive of patients. There are no restrictions on parking or
traffic. As for the nature of the work at the center, they are doing an intensive form of therapy that
involves three weeks during which patients live at the Colonial Motel or the Villa Rafael Motel. Patients
are not permitted to use alchohol, tobacco or drugs of any kind during treatment. They are not allowed
to drive or make contact with family, friends or business associates or anyone other than their therapists
during the three week period. The center is not taking care of people who are released from state mental
hospital as has been alleged. All of the therapists working in the building are part time workers and
the number varies from week to week and the traffic flow is not any greater than if three pediatricians
or general practitioners were working full time at this building. To eliminate two problems which
neighbors have complained about, air conditioning has been installed in the offices so that the windows
of the building have been shut and the small identifying sign has been removed.
Mr. Robert F. MacKay representing the petitioners for revocation of the use permit questioned Dr. Rosen
concerning the names of the five to eight therapists who work at the center and also the names on the
nameplate.
Mr. Jesper Strangaard, Engineer, was sworn in and gave a statement regarding a traffic count conducted
during an eight hour period for three days. He presented a graph which showed that five times as many cars
went to the apartments behind the center as to the center itself and eight times as many pedestrians used
the driveway to the center as to the apatments. Also, a check of the available parking spaces on Lincoln
Avenue indicated that almost all day long there were available empty spaces.
Mr. Joseph Sheeks then summed up the presentation stating that in his opinion, there is no significant
violation of the use permit. He presented copies of letters from the motels where the patients stay
while undergoing treatment as well as from neighbors who had originally signed the petition against the
center and have since requested that their names be removed from the petition.
Mr. Robert F. MacKay addressed the Council stating that he represented Mr. Pat Tarrant, J. Warren Nute and
other property owners and tenants similarly situated. He asked that the Counctl consider the character
of the neighborhood as it is an extremely important issue and in the area of a use permit, finding must
be made that the use is compatible with the neighborhood. He submitted that the use permit which was
granted was for a doctor's office in the singular, that is, for one doctor. A petition containing 51
signatures which vras presented at the time of the hearing By the Planning Commi;ss..ion is signed by prop-
erty owners in the area who are affected by the use of this property. The permit provides for three
persons which would be a doctor and perhaps a nurse and a therapist assisting the doctor and not three
doctors. Mr. MacKay pointed out that there would naturally be more automobile traffic to the apartments
as there are off-street parking spaces provided for the apartments, whereas, there are only four spaces
permitted to the center.
Mr. MacKay pointed out that the property in question was sold from Mr. Owen to Dr. Rosen in 1970 and not
legally subdivided. At the December 1st, 1970 meeting the subdivision was permitted on condition that
a further map be filed. This map has not been filed. It is customary to give notice to property owners,
however, no notice was given in granting the subdivision of the lot and an exception was granted on the
street frontage requirement. This exception requires a finding of necessity, hardship, special circum-
stances and that the exception is not detri.mental to public welfare and the neighborhood in particular.
Zoning ordinance provisions shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of
the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare and use permits shall be issued if
the findings of the Planning Commission shall be that the establishment, maintenance or operation of the
use and/or structures applied for will not under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental
to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons in the neighborhood. The
conditional use permit issued to Dr. Rosen by way of Mr. Owen is, in fact, a clinic. The business license
shows clinic and it is listed in the yellow pages as a clinic. The parking is wholely inadequate for a
clinic. The use of this property as a clinic has changed the neighborhood considerably and it is not
a proper use, it is prohibited by law and prohibited under the conditions of the use permit.
Mr. J. Warren Nute was sworn and presented the following testimony. He is the owner of the property ad-
jacent to the thereapy center and resided there for fourteen years. The property has been rented since
June of 1969. A sign was placed which confused people to believing that his home was the therapy center
and his tenants have been bothered many times late at night. The use permit was grantedwithout any
notification to the people within the neighborhood, there is no street frontage for the property and the
use of the property has been misrepresented. The number of parking spaces provided does not meet the
requirements of the zoning ordinance. He asked the Council to overrule the Planning Commission's deci-
sion and revoke the use permit. In answer to the Council's questions Mr. Nute observed that the neigh-
bors were bothered by the traffic, trash in the driveway noise from the screaming, and the general ap-
pearance of the patients, and he answered Mr. Sheeks' question by stating that from the driveway he
could still hear the noise of the activity inside the center.
Mr. Pat Tarrant was sworn in and stated that he is the owner of a 28 unit apartment house in back of the
center and that the operation of the center is not too detrimental at this time to his investment as
there is shortage of apartments but in five years it may be different. He stated that the attire of the
patients is detrimental to the neighborhood and that their actions at sometimes frighten his tenants.
In answer to the Mayor's question he stated that since the Planning Commission hearing there has been a
great change in the extent of the operation at the center.
Mr. MacKay summarized by stating that he had other witnesses who would testify as to the garbage and per-
sonal items strewn all over, people staying all night at the center and persons staring in a daze at the
apartment tenants. He admitted that there had been greater violations in the past but that the violations
still continue and the character of the neighborhood has changed considerably.
Planning Director, Herbert Hotcherh, in answer to the Council's questions, stated that the use permit
reads ''Use Permit to Allow Doctor's Office on Premises'' and restated the two conditions attached to the
use permit. He also stated that there is not requirement in the zoning ordinance that there be a public
hearing for a use permit. It is usually done as a courtesy. This matter was considered as a non -agenda
item on November 24th, 1970 at the request of Mr. Timmer after a favorable vote by the Commissioners to
hear the matter. There was no staff preparation of the matter. He stated that there is a difference
between a doctor's office and a mental health clinic but it is a matter of degree. In answer to the
Mayor's question Mr. Hotchner stated that the uses in the neighborhood would permit a psychiatric clinic
at this location if the proper conditions were attached and were enforced. The Council then considered
the conditions which might be attached if a new use permit were to be issued.
After discussion, Mr. Sheeks and Mr. MacKay agreed to a continuance of the matter to June 19th, 1972 at
8:00 o'clock P.M.
RE: PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING OF PROPERTY LYING BETWEEN FRANCISCO AND BELLAM FROM PCMH (PLANNED COM-
MERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH PARKING REQUIREMENTS) DISTRICT TO P -C PLANNED COMMUNITY DIS-
TRICT - File 10-3
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open.
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner stated that this zoning change was to provide for a planned in-
dustrial district of the high caliber of Northgate Industrial District and stated that the Council had
before them the list of conditions which control the development and use of the property.
The matter was unanimously carried at the Planning Commission hearing.
Councilman Mulryan questioned the size of some of the lots which are 75 by 160 feet and asked if they
were large enough since off-street parking would be required in connection with any development. The
Planning Director advised him that any development would require architectural approval of the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Jensen, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to rezone property to P -C Planned
Community District with the condition imposed by the Planning Commission.
An ordinance amending the zoning map of the City of San Rafael, California, adopted by reference by Sec-
tion 14.15.020 of the Municipal Code of San Rafael, California, so as to reclassify certain real property

2, 3, 12 and 30 and Mr. Martin Bramante who has an option to purchase the property and one from Equitable
Development Company, the owner of parcels 4 and 5 were noted.
Mr. Bruce Bernhard representing Martin Bramante addressed the Council stating that they have no objection
to a maintenance district on the levee but feel that they should not be required to bear the cost of
maintaining drainage facilities and pumping facilities.
Mr. Dino Ghilotti questioned if anyone else annexed to the drainage district would they also be required
to participate in the maintenance district and was informed that they would be.

done it was agreed to by the owner, Michael Smith, that all of the present Smith property west of the
N.W.P.RR. will be subject to this development cost.
When the owner of any portion of this area makes application for development, it will be required by the
City that the owner of record enter into an irrevocable agreement to pay his proportionate share of the
construction costs of the remaining one-half of the roadway including utility and street lighting system
and also will agree to waive all protests to the proposed assessment district.
The areas to be assessed when future development occurs are shown on the map on file in the City Clerk's
office and on file with the City Engineer and are further described as Marin County Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 155-120-08, 27 and 35 as of this date.
Motion was made by Councilman Jensen, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, the Mayor and City Clerk be
authorized to sign the agreement as presented and that as future development occurs each owner shall be
required to enter into an irrevocable agreement to enter into an assessment district for his share of
the cost of the road and to waive any right to protest.

RE: PLANNING MATTERS GENERAL - File 10-2
nPPN1 cporF
The subject of open space was discussed. Several Council members and Commissioners were of the
opinion that the City should define what is meant by open space and implement its own open space program,
and that extra meetings should be held to study the matter and find out what the public wants. Open
space advocates do not realize that they make the cost of land higher. In planning open space, considera-
tion should be given to a plan for paying for this property. Another view discussed was that the voters
should be given a right to decide if they want their tax dollars spent on open land.
PLANNING
It was the consensus that extra meeting nights were needed to give attention to general plann-
ing matters as regular agendas are too filled with specific cases.
LEGAL SERVICES
It was agreed that there is a need to have the City Attorney present at some Planning Commiss-
ion meetings and this shall be at the discretion of the Chairman.
REDEVELOPMENT
Assistant City Manager explained the redevelopment program as a financing mechanism that would
assist in revitalization of the problem areas.
CITY -COUNTY PLANNING COUNCIL
Some concern was expressed that the City -County Planning Council was infringing on the City's
plans and objectives and failing to be responsive to the City's suggestions. It was proposed that per-
haps the City should withdraw from the City -County Planning Council. Other Councilmen and Commissioners
felt that the City gains a voice on areas outside the City of San Rafael by staying in and that we
should take a leadership position and ask for more voting power by reason of being the largest City.
Information on City -County Planning Council activites should be brought to the attention of the Council
and Commission by their representatives.
EAST SAN RAFAEL
The Commission was informed that the drainage assessment district in East San Rafael has been
formed and it is no longer necessary to refer planning items in this area to the Council.
FUTURE JOINT MEETINGS
The Mayor suggested that future joint meetings of the Council and Commission should be arranged
whenever problems arise that should be discussed.
The meeting adjourned at 9:25 to an executive session to discuss personnel matters.

Fred E. Jensen, Councilman
John A. Miskimen, Councilman

Square'' in the minutes of the regular meeting of May 15th to read ''At the close of this discussion, the
Mayor asked for an expression of opinion from each of the Councilman as to whether or not the Courthouse
Square should be developed or left as open space. The Council unanimously agreed that the property should

special meeting of May 15th, 1972, regular meeting of May 15th, 1972 with addendum and the regular ad-
journed meeting of May 16th, 1972, a true and correct copy having been heretofore submitted to each

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT ''ENVIRONMENTAL & DESIGN REVIEW'' - File 10-2 x 10-7
The public hearing which was opened May 1st, 1972 was continued to this evening.
Planning Director, Herbert G.Hottchner placed before the Council the changes to the Environmental and
Design Review text amendment recommended by the City Council at the May 1st hearing; together with the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to the City Council on each of these proposed changes.
Mr. Carl Brown Executive Director of the Redwood Empire Builders Association discussed the architectural
control on single family residences as proposed by Section 11.02(B)-1, and stated his opposition to any
kind of architectrual control on single family construction.
Planning Commissioner Thomas O'Toole said that he was sure that architectural review of single family
residences can be controlled to the satisfaction of the building industry by working with architects and
home designers. In answer to the Council's question, he does not object to a separate architectural
review board if it is composed of personnel aware of the engineering, building and planning problems.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Mulryan, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to approve the text as amended
and presented tonight and to have an ordinance prepared.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - PREZONING DETAILED PLAN, 2436 FIFTH AVENUE - CAESAR B. CARDANI, OWNER, HAL WAGNER/
GEORGE GIRVIN, REPRESENTATIVES - File 10-3
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open.
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner presented to the Council the staff's position and the commission's
action in connection with the prezoning and detailed plan for the property at 2436 Fifth Avenue which is
presently outside the City limits. He also displayed a lay -out of the site and a plat showing location
of petitioners opposed to the development.
Mayor Bettini questioned whether or not the staff and commission had considered taking the entire area
from the Sun Vally School to Mount Tamalpais Cemetery into the City limits instead of just this small
parcel.
Mr. Hotchner stated that this had been considered, however, other property owners in the vicinity do not
want to come into the City limits but the matter has not as yet gone to the Local Agency Formation Com-
mission.
Mr. George Girvin, Landscape Architect for the project discussed with the Council the upgrading of the
portion of the road in front of the property and also the fact that there would be 40 off-street parking
sites so that there should not be a problem of parking on the street.
Mrs. Ethel Medvic, 2429 Fifth Avenue representing the property owners who live on the opposite side of
Fifth Avenue objected to this development because of the parking problem and increase in traffic that
will occur. She also objected to annexing a small piece of property instead of the entire area.
Mrs. Grace Wagner who with her husband has operated the Racquet Club for 11 years and who now owns the
property in question felt that development of a small private club would be an asset to the neighborhood
and the use can be controlled, noise can be kept to a minimum, and it provides open space. There will be
no lights for playing of tennis at night and the club house does not intend to apply for a liquor license.
Mrs. Ruth Sl user expressed her concern for the traffic and parking problems which would be created as a
result of this development.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
The Council discussed the use of this property under the present County zone and Mr. Hotchner pointed out
that the Commission felt that this planned development would be a substantially less intensive use than
would be the case in a conventional residential subdivision under either the County or City R-1 zone.
Motion was made by Councilman Jensen, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to prezpyde County Assessor's
Parcel 177-240-09 to PUD-Rl District.
An ordinance amending the Zoning Map of the City of San Rafael, California, adopted by reference by
Section 14.15.020 of the Municipal Code of San Rafael, California, so as to reclassify certain fel

PUD -R] (Planned Unit Development - Single Family Residential) District, and numbering Charter Ordinance
No. 1063 was read, introduced and ordered passed to print by the following vote, to -wit:

RE: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL UP72-35 USED CAR LOT, 525 SECOND STREET - File 10-5
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open.
Planning Director Herbert Hotchner briefed the Council on the action of the Planning Commission in
denying by a five to two vote the application for a used car lot on the basis that it was not desirable
visually or otherwise at that location and a piecemeal development of the property was not advisable.
Mr. Robert Green representing Mr. Harold Holtzinger, the applicant, addressed the Council He stated that
this would be a temporary use while the Allardt's Canal line was being determined, and would give the
property a far more sightly appearance than the current use.
Miss Pam Morosi addressed the Council and asked them to consider an aesthetic approach to the development
of the property when more permanent development takes place.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Mulryan, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to deny the appeal and uphold
the action of the Planning Commission.

RE: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENAIL-OFFICE BUILDING 1103 IRIDIN STREET - FIRST AMERICAN TITLE COM-
PANY OF MARIN - File 10-5
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open.
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner briefed the Council on the action of the Planning Commission in
denying the application for an office building with off-street parking under the Highway 101 viaduct.
The Commission felt that the policy of using under -freeway area for parking should be decided by the
City Counc-1 since this area is already under consideration by the City for municipal parking purposes.
Mr. James G. McDonald of the architectural firm Wagstaff & McDonald discussed the need for off-site
parking and he's offered to rent from the City on a dialy or monthly fee basis the area under the 101
viaduct. The Council informed him that it was their intent that any further development of parking
spaces under the viaduct would be used for commuter parking. Additionally the State has considered
leasing this property to the City for a six year period only.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Barbier, seconded by Councilman Mulryan, to deny the appeal and uphold the
decision of the Planning Commission.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - REVOCATION OF USE PERMIT 70-105 - ALVIN & RHODA WASSERMAN AND DAVID & RUTH ROSEN,
1715 LINCOLN AVENUE - File 10-5
This is a hearing continued from the May 15th meeting.
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner reported to the Council that the opponents and proponents of the
Marin Center for Intensive Therapy could not reach agreement and therefore he presented a summary of a
letter from the proponents outlining the nature and the extent of the work done on the premises which
was a response to his query in order to present factural evidence to the Council. He pointed out the
City Attorney's opinion that the Council could either sustain the appeal and thus revoke the use permit
or deny the appeal and with the agreement of the permittee change the terminology and conditions of the
use permit. Mr. Hotchner stated that the Planning Commission had all of the information as to the use
of the property, had visited the site and after hearing the matter concluded that it was a valid and
worthwhile use, that there had been some mistakes made in the past and that these matters were being
corrected, that with the correction of these mistakes there would be no external dangers resulting from
the use that would be deterimental to adjoining dwellings, apartment houses or motels. Their vote was
7-0 to not revoke the use permit.
Mr. Robert MacKay reiterated that there has been a violation of the existing use permit and therefore it
should be revoked.
The Council discussed the conditions which they felt were open to negotiation by both parties.
Questioning by the Mayor established that the opponents would only be willling to negotiate for a use
with greater restrictions and the proponents feel the level of operation must be at least what it is now.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
The Council then found that the present use by the Marin Center for Intensive Therapy is permitted in
the R-4 Zone and the type of use is compatible with the area.
Motion was made by Councilman Mulryan, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to deny the appeal on the con-
dition that the permittee agree to the use permit being modified as follows: The use permit shall read
''Day Care Facility''. Operation is permitted four nights per week not later than 9:00 P.M. Parking a
times of staff meetings will be on site. No Sunday operation. No overnight patients. A present level
of staff and patients. Exceptions will be permitted in emergency cases. The conditions as presented
are acceptable to the permittee.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING 1675 GRAND AVENUE, MARIST SOCIETY OF CALIFORNIA, FROM "U" DISTRICT TO
R -1-B-2 DISTRICT - File 10-3
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open. Planning Director Herbert G. Hotchner stated that at the
Planning Commission hearings on use permits for the property it was suggested by the people in the
neighborhood that the property be rezoned, and the Planning Commission recommended to the Council
that the property be rezoned to R -1-B-2. There was no one else present who wished to address the

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF USE PERMIT 72-9(b), CHURCH AND ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES, 1675 GRAND AVENUE,
MARIST SOCIETY OF CALIFORNIA - File 10-5
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open. Planning Director Herbert G. Hotchner discussed the uses of
the various structures on the subject property and the conditions which were imposed in granting the use
permit for the church and associated activities. He stated that the appeal is based on the wording of
subparagraph 4 under paragraph (c) of conditions of approval relating to the gymnasium. Since the
property has now been rezoned to single-family use, certain general limitations will apply; however,
if the property owner has no objection to the change of wording suggested by the appellants it is not
objectionable to the staff. Mary O'Callaghan, one of the appellants in this matter, addressed the
Council stating that since the change to R -1-B-2 has been made, the proposed additional wording is
not as pertinent; however, if the Council has no objection, she would like to see it incorporated
in the language of the conditions. The Council discussed with Reverend Reuben Sequeira his under-
standing of theuse of the gymnasium and he agreed that it would be noncommercially oriented although
a slight charge would be made to cover expense of lights, etc. He did not object to the change of
the wording of the condition as recommended by the appellant. Mayor Bettini declared -the hearing
closed.
Moved by Councilman Mulryan, seconded by Councilman Jensen, to grant the appeal and add the follow-
ing condition as a further condition to the use permit:
Use of the property by nonchurch or outside individuals or groups shall be restricted
to those who could comply with the provisions governing uses allowed in R-1 zoning
under Section 14.75.020(f) of the Zoning Ordinance. Further, any use which is assigned
to a district less restrictive than R-1, whether with or without use permit, shall not
be allowed on the property."

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - EXTENSION OF EMERGENCY MORATORIUM ORDINANCE - AMENDMENT TO TITLE 14 BY ADDING
CHAPTER 14.62 "GENERAL PLAN CONFLICT COMBINED DISTRICT" - File 10-3
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open, and summarized for the audience the discussion which took place
at the 7:00 P.M. meeting this evening with the Planning Commission. The San Rafael General Plan is being
revised and consultants will be hired to do the work. In the meantime, the Planning Commission has been
asked to place certain restrictions on development until the new general plan has been completed. Flat
areas can be developed if it appears that the development will be proper under the new general plan but
hillside development will be more restricted.
Planning Director, Herbert Hotchner stated that the Council has before them copies of the minutes of the
Planning Commission meeting of August 8th, 1972 recommending the extension of the GPC ordinance. He also
called attention to the general -plan -combined -zone policy statement from the Mayor to the Planning Commis-
sion dated August 18th. The urgency ordinance expires on October 19th and can be extended for an addi-
tional eight month period to June 19th, 1973 by this action tonight.
Mr. Julius Selinger addressed the Council asking them to make an additional exception in the ordinance
to add "action under this ordinance shall not be retroactive".
There being no one else wishing to address the Council, Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Miskimen, seconded by Councilman Barbier, to approve the extension of the

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF ACTION OF PLANNING COMMISSION IN DENYING GPC -72-6 PEACOCK GAP UNIT 5 -
File 10-5
For the record, Planning Director Herbert Hotchner informed the Council that they had before them the
Planning Commission minutes of July 11th, 1972, copy of petition from residents in the Peacock Gap,
McNears Point, San Pedro Hills area and a map prepared by the Planning Commission showing the boundaries
of the area and the streets involved. In addition, Mr. Hotchner displayed other maps relating to this
area, such as, the general plan map as acted on in 1958 for Peacock Gap and the map showing the undeveloped
areas of the City of San Rafael. The Planning Director summarized discussions and actions of the Plann-
ing Commission in this matter.
Mr. Julius Selinger representing American Savings and Loan Association, owner and appellant in this matter
stated that the application was filed on May 19th, 1972; together with the tentative map. This was 31
days prior to the urgency ordinance being adopted. Mr. Selinger questioned the validity of the ordinance,
citing Article IV, Section 1 of the California Constitution which requires a•roll call vote on the emer-
gency as well as a roll call vote on the ordinance. He stated that if the ordinance is invalid there is
no requirement for a GPC action and if it is a valid ordinance, this additional requirement should not be
imposed retroactively. Mr. Selinger stated that the proposed development is not inconsistent with the
GPC ordinance in that there is substantial probability that the use proposed will be consistent with the
contemplated zoning proposals being prepared and there is little probability of any substantial detriment
to the public should an inconsistency ultimately exist. When the matter was presented to the Planning
Commission on May 19th it was presented as a tentative subdivision and no use permit was required under
the then existing law.
Mr. David Van Pelt of Dan Coleman Associates reviewed in detail the history of the various stages of de-
velopment under the master plan of Peacock Gap. In answer to Mayor Bettini's question, he stated that
this is basically the same map as to slope, lot size, etc. as that presented in 1964.
City Attorney, Fred C. Robbins, Jr. and City Planning Director explained the choices the Council has in
this action such as to deny the appeal which would mean the Planning Commission will have to deny the sub-
division or to sustain the appeal and put in conditions which the Planning Commission will have to con-
sider.
Mr. Larry Simmel ink, President of the Peacock Gap Homeowners Association representing approximately 300
omeowners stated that this association does not oppose development but opposes development based on the
existing tentative map. Before action is taken he would like complete assurance from the owners in writ-
ing that high quality construction will take place, tha the homeowners association will have architectural
control and covenants be put in writing. He asked for a delay in this matter to work out details.
;31
Mrs. Tina Ferris, Chairman of the Sav e San Pedro Peninsula stated that there are too many questionable
items in this development to proceed at this time.
Mr. Frank Goodale asked the Council to take another look at the development in the light of more recent
policies, such as, the slope ordinance.
Dr. Patrick McLin, a resident of Peacock Gap stated that the developers and the homeowners want a good
well kept subdivision but questioned if we are going to be guided by 1958 or 1964 guidelines or by pre-
sent day enlightened concepts.
Mayor Bettini declared the public hearing closed.
After discussion by the Council, it was moved by Councilman Barbier to deny the appeal and uphold the
decision of the Planning Commission and the Peacock Gap residents, and developer to work together to
come up with a more suitable plan. Notion died for lack of a second.
Motion was made by Councilman Miskimen to give the developer the right to present to the Planning Com-
mission a development proposal for the area for R-1 development with 85 units, the house to be built
on the flat area and to high residential standars.
Motion was made by Councilman Jensen, seconded by Councilman Barbier, to sustain the appeal and refer the
subdivision back to the Planning Commission for the developer and the Peacock Gap Homeowners Association
to work out the details.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING GLEN PARK AVENUE AND MYRTLE FROM R-1 TO PUD-Rl, WILLIAM PARNOW - File 10-3
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open.
Planning Director Herbert G. Hotchner reported for the record that a copy of the staff report, the
minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of July 25th, 1972 and a map showing the location of the pro-
posed townhouse development were submitted to the Council. The Planning Commission has unanimously re-
commended the rezoning.
Mrs. Paul McCart, 182 Glen Park Avenue stated that she was adamantly opposed to construction of 28 town-
house units on a 6.2 acre parcel of land mainly because there is only one road leading into the property.
Mr. Steve Thomas, 1680 Grand Avenue objected to the amount of traffic which would result from 28 town-
houses with only one roadway leading to the property.
Mrs. Frances Callan, 178 Glen Park Avenue questioned the density on the property and was informed that
there would be 4.51 units per acre and the density is less than in a conventional development. She also
discussed the improvements to be made to Myrtle Avenue.
Mr. Richard Sadler, 28 Dominican Drive wanted clarification of the extension of the deadend of Dominican
Drive to this proposed street and was informed that there could be no reasonable connection.
Mr. H. (Rusty) Ghilotti asked how many off-street parking places were required and was informed that 68
places were proposed.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Jensen, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to rezone the property from Rl to
PUD-Rl.

RE: EXTENSION OF EMERGENCY MORATORIUM ORDINANCE - File 10-3
Members of the San Rafael Planning Commission present were: Chairman Garbarino, Commissioners O'Toole,
Albritton and Boro.
Mayor Bettini discussed his letter written to the Planning Commission expressing the Council's view on the
GPC zone. He stated that there is not and never was intended to be a blanket moratorium in San Rafael.
Anyone with an acceptable plan may develop his property and development proposals will be heardwhen the
when the type of land use proposed will be continued without question in a particular area. He described
the moratorium as a screening process useful for reflecting current community standards in the new
general plan. Our present General Plan adopted in 1966 is based on land use Standards prevalent then.
At the present time it would appear that our citizens desire a reduction in density, preservation of
major undeveloped ridgetops. Therefore,
1. Any land proposed for development should be substantially and pri-
marily flat in its entirety.
2. Any proposal for residential development should have density sub-
stantially less than the maximum now permitted under the existing
standards if it is to be considered prior to the development of a
new General Plan.
3. Proposals will be received and considered only for those areas
where the City Council, Planning Commission and public are in
very substantial agreement that the land use which now exists
in that area on the ground, in the current General Plan and in
the current zoning are consistent with each other and without
question will be the only type of land use that will be continued
in the future in that particular area. If there is pretty com-
plete agreement on those points, then a proposal for that type
of land use will be considered on the merit of its design and
density and other related factors as geared toward what new
standards might be in the future.
