DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW OF SAN RAFAEL'S
ADOPTED HOUSING ELEMENT (Pl) - File 115
Mayor Mulryan acknowledged publicly, a letter from the State,
complimenting the Planning Staff for a thorough job, and praising Jeff
Baird for the excellent work he did on this project, and stated that a
letter would be forthcoming from the Council thanking Mr. Baird.
Council accepted report, without motion.
AUTHORIZATION TO CALL FOR BIDS - HILLSIDE AVENUE OPEN SPACE SLIDE
REPAIRS (PW) - File 4-1-384 x 13-14-1
Councilmember Russom voiced his concern regarding the estimated
$250,000 repair cost for the slide repair from the Open Space Bond
Funds, and asked what the present balance was and how the expenditure
would affect the remaining balance.
Acting City Manager Nicolai stated that there presently is
approximately $835,000 in the Open Space Fund; that $250,000 is
allocated for the Hillside repair, that $231,000 is committed for the
Sun Valley Open Space District with another $83,000 for shoreline,
leaving an unallocated balance of $271,000 in the open space fund.
Ms. Nicolai referred to the time the report first went to Council in
November, 1983, it was estimated then that the repairs would cost
approximately $150,000. It is now estimated to cost $250,000.
Mayor Mulryan inquired if there is another avenue to draw funds for
this project, and Ms. Nicolai indicated that there are reserve funds
with some revenue sharing available. However, the problem with reserve
and revenue sharing is, that there is more flexibility in using this
money, and that the Open Space Funds are limited to acquisitions of
open space.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 5/6/85 Page 2
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 5/6/85 Page 3
After a brief discussion, Council agreed that staff should investigate
alternative funding sources to preserve use of the Open Space Funds if
possible, and report back to Council at a later meeting.
Public Works Director Bernardi indicated to Council that staff would
prefer authorization to call for bids at this meeting so the process
could continue while staff reviews other funding alternatives.
Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, to
authorize staff to call for bids for Hillside Avenue Open Space Slide
Repairs.

PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO CONTROL
RECYCLED MATERIALS (CM) - File 4-3-32
Mayor Mulryan opened the public hearing.
Acting City Manager Nicolai stated that at a previous meeting, Council
considered a request to change the Recycling Ordinance to incorporate
commercial recycable materials, whereas the previous ordinance was
restricted to curbside recycling.
Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing.
The Title of the Ordinance was read:
"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AMENDING THE SAN RAFAEL
MUNICIPAL CODE, TITLE 9, CHAPTER 9.18, REGULATING RECYCLED MATERIALS
COLLECTION"
Councilmember Frugoli moved and Councilmember Nave seconded, to
dispense with the reading of the Ordinance in its entirety and refer to
it by title only and pass Charter Ordinance No. 1505 to print by the

PUBLIC HEARING - Z85-2; AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING
CHAPTER 14.87, GASOLINE SERVICE STATIONS (P1) - File 10-5x 9-1-2
Mayor Mulryan opened the public hearing.
Planning Director Moore informed Council that this ordinance is to
regulate the conversion of gasoline service stations from "full-
service" to "self-service" stations. The ordinance requires use
permits for specific types of new facilities, including carwashes and
minimarts, and conversions of existing gasoline service stations only
when all attended pumps or mechanic's bays are proposed for deletion.
Such conversions would require the consideration to include the
elderly, handicapped, and motorists in emergency situations, who are in
need of the services to be lost.
(Councilmember Breiner arrived at meeting)
Mr. Philmore Wood, of Arco Petroleum spoke on the following four
issues and requested rejection or modification of the ordinance: 1)
The ordinance is designed to preserve the current level of service (but
that there is recognition that the necessary level of service and the
current level of service is different). 2) There is not enough
consideration of the balance between mandating service levels and
facilitating low prices. 3) The ordinance is not sufficient to the
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 5/6/85 Page 3
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 5/6/85 Page 4
findings made as to where repair services are performed in the City of
San Rafael. 4) Hours of operation specified.
Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing.
Planning Director Moore made a clarification that the proposed
ordinance regarding Section 14.87.010 - Purpose - does not indicate
that the intent of the ordinance is to maintain the existing level of
service.
RESOLUTION NO. 7095 - RESOLUTION CERTIFYING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR

18. PUBLIC HEARING - STATUS REPORT ON HIGHWAY 101 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
DURING HOV LANE CONSTRUCTION - File 11-16
Mayor Mulryan declared the public hearing opened.
Public Works Director Bernardi stated that the environmental checklist
form analyzed the potential impacts of the temporary traffic
improvements proposed, and indicated that staff has done the necessary
legal noticing. He indicated that it is estimated Caltrans project
will take about 30 months to complete.
Mr. Bernardi explained that the purpose of the traffic management plan
is to relieve traffic congestion by diverting traffic through the use
of other roads, and discussed using the emergency access ramp between
Lincoln Avenue and Los Ranchitos Road as a reversible flow non -freeway
connection.
Councilmember Breiner pointed out that this is only a temporary
connector during the time of the highway construction. She also
referred to the Negative Declaration under Item 1.E and 1.F, and
urged the Council to approve the installation of traffic signals at
Mission and Grand Avenues.
Mr. Alan Parks, resident of Vineyard Drive stated that there has been
an increase in traffic within the last year, up Coleman to Fair and up
Coleman down to Vineyard.
Mr. Richard Lister of 6 Fair Drive spoke on bicycle paths for commuter
vehicles, and asked Council to drop the consideration of this proposed
plan.
Mr. Bob Kline, resident at 234 Coleman Drive, commented on the
environmental checklist where the report indicated there will be no
impact on the environment. Mr. Kline strongly urged the Council to
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 5/6/85 Page 4
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 5/6/85 Page 5
review Item g under Earth; Item f under Water; Items a and b under
Noise; Items a and f under Transportation and Circulation, Item e under
Public Services, and and Item e under Utilities. He indicated the
impact will be at Fair and Coleman Drives.
Mr. Gene Brusatori, resident at 34 Fair Drive indicated that in
providing additional access on the bottom of Fair Drive would be
allowing people to use this road as a thoroughfare which is dangerous,
narrow and unsuitable for this use, and would also alter the character
of the neighborhood.
Mr. Bruce Beimer, 420 Prospect Drive, stated that to consider having
the homeward bound traffic make a left turn across the exit at Lincoln
Avenue in the evening is dangerous, and indicated it will cause many
accidents.
After hearing the concerns from the public, Public Works Director
Bernardi indicated that unless the situation becomes intolerable, no
further action will be taken.
Mr. Dave Holloman, resident at 230 Coleman Drive also agreed that
traffic conditions will become worse, and stated that the problem of
Highway 101 will not go away.
Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Frugoli moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to:
a) Delete Number I of the staff report dated 4/15/85... Consideration of
using emergency access road between Lincoln Avenue and Los Ranchitos
Road as a reversible flow non freeway connection. b) Approve
#II ... Installation of signals at Grand Avenue & Mission Avenue, to be
implemented now. c) Approve #III... modification of the following
intersections: 1) prohibit left turns from northbound Grand Avenue to
Westbound Mission Avenue between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. 2) install
temporary stop signs at Grand Avenue and Belle Avenue; 3) prohibit left
turns between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM at Belle Avenue and Elm Street;
4) eliminate 3 parking spaces and create a permanent right turn lane on
Hetherton at Third Street; 5) visually delineate intersections and
post large "Do Not Block Intersection" signs at Second and Irwin and
Third and Irwin. d) Approve Negative Declaration and authorize staff
to implement proposed temporary traffic improvement project.
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Breiner, Frugoli, Nave, Russom & Mayor Mulryan
NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
Public Works Director Bernardi informed Council that staff will report
back to Council on alternatives in solving the traffic diversion
problem.
19. P83 -10 -DRAFT NORTH SAN RAFAEL POLICY PLAN (Pl) - File 210 x 191
Planning Director Moore reported that as a result of the previous
meeting of April 15, 1985, City and County staff generated additional
information and have made some recommended changes to the April draft,
and a Resolution of Intent has been prepared to amend the San Rafael
General Plan by adopting the North San Rafael Policy Plan. Ms. Moore
then summarized the staff report.
Councilmember Nave stated there is not enough housing in Phase I, and
indicated that there should be more commercial developed. Also,
regarding Alternative A, Large Scale Development - Job Emphasis; and
Alternative B, Large scale Development - Residential Emphasis,
there should be heavier density allowed.
Ms. Moore indicated that the proposed Resolution of Intent is to amend
the San Rafael General Plan. It would then become the City's General
Plan for these properties. Presently, Silveira and St. Vincent's
properties are designated "agricultural review areas". This would
conform the City with the land use designation that the Countywide Plan
has had for many years, identifying this as mixed use/urban development
area.

SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 5/6/85 Page 6
Mr. Irving Schwartz, representing the owners of the Daphne/Bacciocco
and St. Vincent's properties, expressed concerns he still had with the
proposed plan.
Councilmember Frugoli stated he still had some concerns about the plan
as proposed, indicating the plan would not control densities.
RESOLUTION NO. 7096 - RESOLUTION OF INTENT BY THE SAN RAFAEL CITY

AMEND THE SAN RAFAEL GENERAL PLAN BY ADOPTING THE

20. REPORT ON SAN RAFAEL "MISSION CITY" POLICE BOAT (PD) - File 4-10-193
Police Chief Ingwersen summarized the staff report regarding the City's
Marine Safety and Enforcement program and its history, including the
need for the service in the community and reasons why the boat needs
replacing.
Chief Ingwersen indicated that a substantial part of the cost will be
borne by a grant from the California Department of Boating and
Waterways in amount of $40,000. In addition, $30,000 has been set
aside in the Vehicle Replacement Fund, leaving a balance of between
$30,000 and $40,000 to be requested during this year's 1985/86 budget
hearings to fully replace the boat and equipment.
Mayor Mulryan asked to what degree the boat is being taken outside of
San Rafael waters, and why.
Chief Ingwersen replied that the boat presently responds outside of the
jurisdiction in the case of life saving calls. He indicated the
department operates in conjunction with the Coast Guard as we are
between Yerba Buena Island and the Vallejo stations, and that if a boat
is in trouble, response is made under a mutual aid situation until the
Coast Guard can make contact by boat or helicopter.
Councilmember Breiner asked staff for a statistical record to be kept
on the number of times boats outside of the City's jurisdiction call
upon the City for help, as opposed to boats in San Rafael.
RESOLUTION NO. 7097 - RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SIGNING OF A CONTRACT,
LEASE OR AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA STATE
DEPARTMENT OF BOATING AND WATERWAYS RE: BOATING
SAFETY AND ENFORCEMENT GRANT (to partially fund
the construction of a new patrol boat).

24. MARIN COUNTYWIDE PLAN ECONOMIC ELEMENT (P1) - File 191x149
Planning Director Moore indicated that the Planning Commission, on
April 23, 1985, unanimously approved the following recommendations to
the City Council:
1) Commend the County for compiling important economic data into the
format of an element.
2) Endorse the Countywide Plan Advisory Committee's recommended
changes.
3) Recommend that the County include information about the revenue
bases of communities in Marin County.
4) Request that the County adopt Implementation Alternative No. 3
only if an advisory committee of elected officials oversees the
County's "more active advocacy of the objectives of the Economic
Element, on behalf of the 11 cities as well as the County".
Ms. Moore then called upon Ms. Carol Williams of the Marin County
Planning Department who explained the process of the Marin Countywide
Plan Economic Element. Ms. Williams stated that a 7 -person committee
was appointed to work with staff on this plan, which would be a
refinement that is in the Countywide Plan Community Development
section. She indicated that it took the committee nine months to
develop the draft, and in respect to the advocacy position, the
committee recommended that Alternative 3 (Recommend that the County
include information about the revenue bases of communities in Marin
County) be approved. This draft element has been submitted to other
cities for comments and review, which will then be taken back to the
County Planning Commission for their consideration, and a public
hearing will be held on June 3, 1985.

Mr. Chris FitzGerald, from the Marin County Planning Department, spoke
on the goals, jobs, transportation, policies, and implementations of
this plan.
After hearing from the Marin County Planning Department staff, it was
the consensus of the Council to take no action.
25. SPINNAKER ON THE BAY; APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION
CONSIDERATION (P1) - File 5-1-292
Planning Director Moore stated that the April 17 letter from Richard
Tarrant, attorney for the applicants, Messrs. Dennis Horne and Sid
Hendricks, asked that Council direct staff and the Planning Commission
to process the Spinnaker On The Bay application pending adoption of the
East San Rafael Neighborhood Plan. Mr. Tarrant requested that the
project be processed independent of the neighborhood plan time frame
and indicated that continued deferral of the project amounted to an
informal moratorium which prejudices his clients' rights. Ms. Moore
indicated that Mr. Tarrant indicated that the proposed project is
consistent with the last draft of the East San Rafael Neighborhood
Plan, but, Ms. Moore stated there is no such draft of the East San
Rafael Neighborhood Plan. While the Spinnaker On The Bay project is
consistent with what the consultant and staff will be recommending for
the property for the East San Rafael Neighborhood Plan, i.e.
residential development on existing filled area, and overall density of
20 units to the acre, there is controversy over that density by Friends
of Spinnaker Point, Spinnaker Point Homeowners' Association and Canal
Community Alliance who are on record to support no more than 15 units
to the acre on the property.
Ms. Moore continued to state that another item Mr. Tarrant correctly
mentions in his letter as being unresolved, is the location of a future
neighborhood park. Staff and consultant recommend in the neighborhood
plan that a small park be located in conjunction with development of
the City owned property on Bellam. There was not total agreement
between staff and consultant on this matter, and significant
neighborhood discussions during Planning Commission and Council reviews
on the size and location on the neighborhood park are expected.
Richard Tarrant, attorney for the owners of the project, stated that
his request is to have the review take place concurrently with the City
Council's review of the East San Rafael Neighborhood Plan.
Councilmember Russom moved and Councilmember Nave seconded, that the
Planning Commission consider the Spinnaker On The Bay project on June
11, 1985.

1. REQUEST FROM LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES - File 9-11-1 x 9-1
Mayor Mulryan stated that he had received a request from the League of
California Cities that the City of San Rafael join in with other larger
chartered cities to support a request to the Attorney General, to deny
quo warranto actions by various municipal labor organizations filed as
a result of a 1984 California Supreme Court Decision in the case of
People ex rel. Seal Beach Police Officers Association v. City of Seal
Beach, which struck down a voter -approved charter amendment prohibiting
strikes.
Council agreed, without motion, to support the request from the League
of California cities to the Attorney General.
2. HIGHWAY 101/INTERSTATE 580 INTERCHANGE FUNDING - File 11-16
Mayor Mulryan stated that he has been seeking help from Mr. William
Bagley of the Public Utilities Commission who has contacted staff and
the County. County Board of Supervisors' Chairman Stockwell wrote a
letter to Mr. Bagley outlining the rationale for the County's decision
on the Bellam/Highway 101 issue. One of the statements made is that
although the city has come up with the $9,000,000 assistance, unlike
other cities, we are not coming up with 100% of the funding for road
improvements. Mayor Mulryan asked Public Works Director Bernardi to
respond to Mr.Stockwell's letter.
There being no further business, the City Council meeting was adjourned.
