19. PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF HANDICAPPED ACCESS REQUIREMENTS - 2114
FOURTH STREET (McDONALD'S) (PW) - File 13-1-1
Acting Mayor Breiner declared the public hearing opened.
Director of Public Works Bernardi reported to Council on their request
to have the applicant take another look to see if a solution could be
possible in having a handicapped toilet constructed on the site.
The applicant did the investigation and found three problems: a) The
cost would be unreasonable in relation to the amount of work done under
the original building permit; b) Existing space within the combined
toilet room would not allow for complete accessibility; c) If only
one toilet is provided, McDonald's would be in violation of the
Uniform Building Code which requires that toilet rooms be provided for
both sexes when the number of employees is four or more and both sexes
are employed. Director Bernardi indicated that there does not appear
to be a feasible solution, and recommended that Council grantthe appeal.
Ms. Deborah Barrall, representative of McDonald's reiterated
to the Council her concerns, adding that in checking with
McDonald's construction department for alternative design, they could
not offer any answer relating to their space problem that would be
less costly. Ms. Barrall stated she agreed with Director Bernardi
that the building permit was issued and accomplished prior to the
Council hearing the matter. Ms. Barrall stated that in working with
the City's Planning Department for 18 months in submitting a drive
thru design, they were not made aware of a State law that they were
to provide handicapped accessible bathrooms until July 27, 1984, two
days after they were granted conditional approval of the use permit.
Ms. Barrall also stated that it would have seemed fairer if this
matter had been brought to their attention when they were considering
whether a drive through addition was feasible. She stated the cost for
the handicapped bathroom would be $30,000 which is unreasonable and a
hardship for McDonald's physically, monetarily and legally.
Acting Mayor Breiner asked whether: 1) A separate facility could be built
for the handicapped; 2) McDonald's advertises handicapped
accessibility; 3) McDonald's would have a low-interest loan available
for such improvements.
Ms. Barrall answered that a separate bathroom anywhere on the premises
would involve plumbing, sewerage, electricity, etc. and the cost would
be in excess of $30,000.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/5/84 Page 3
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/5/84 Page 4
Ms. Barrall continued that she did not believe there is national
advertising on handicapped accessibility; and there are no low-interest
loans available.
There being no further comments from the public, the hearing was closed.
Councilmember Nave stated that staff and McDonald's have tried to
solve the handicapped problem, and found it to be unfeasible. Also,
when McDonald's put in a $10,000 drive-in to keep up with competition,
they made this drive--in-accessible for the handicapped.
Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, that
Council, sitting as Board of Appeals, grant the appeal of handicapped
access requirements at 2114 Fourth Street (McDonald's) based on the
fact that handicapped accessible toilet rooms would present an unreason-
able hardship, and directed staff to prepare a Resolution of Findings
for adoption at the meeting of November 19, 1984.

20. PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING Z84-8 to P -D DISTRICT FOR NEW RAB MOTORS
MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP; 540 FRANCISCO BLVD. WEST; ROLAND BACCI,
OWNER; PETER DODGE, REP.; AP 13-051-23 (Pl) - File 10-3
Acting Mayor Breiner declared the public hearing opened.
Planning Director Moore reported that this rezoning proposal for the
RAB Motors dealership site at 540 Francisco Boulevard brings to a close
the City's process for this project. The Redevelopment Agency then
takes final action on development plans, and the applicant then
proceeds forward with building permits. The Planning Commission
had reviewed the proposal for the construction of the dealership
at 540 Francisco Boulevard and voted 4-1 (Commissioner Willms dissenting,
Commissioners Boro and Rifkind absent) to recommend to the City Council,
certification of a Negative Declaration and adoption of a zone change to
P -D District and also conditionally approved an environmental and design
review permit.
The project includes construction of a new 26,000 square foot
structure to be occupied by an automobile showroom, incidental
office, and vehicle service area. Two existing metal structures for
vehicle storage and detailing as well as a relocation of an existing
stucco structure for parts storage will be maintained.
The zone change to P -D District includes a number of development
standards to be made a part,of the ordinance. The Planning Commission
approved a number of conditions including fencing and landscaping
standards and requirements for improving existing on-site structures.
Copies of these conditions with Planning Commission minutes along
with questions on the design review conditions by the applicant
and modifications on these conditions have been submitted to Council.
Attorney Mark Scott, representing the applicant, indicated to the Cnimcil
that he was available to answer questicns.
Acting Mayor Breiner asked about the existing metal structures and
whether they were'to be remodeled, and also how high they would
Dro,ject above the project.
Architect James Hastings responded that the buildings would be
repaired, painted in relation to the color scheme of the main building
and indicated the height is approximately 8 feet to the eaves. There are
no other measures being taken to change the basic appearance of the
buildings.
Acting Mayor Breiner asked if the fence would be on higher ground,
and Mr. Hastings indicated it would be at the existing grade.
Mr. Scott interjected that the final plans will be submitted for
approval at the next Redevelopment Agency meeting, and suggested that
discussion be deferred until that meeting. He asked that Council
focus on the Negative Declaration and the zone change.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/5/84 Page 4
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/5/84 Page 5
Some of the Councilmembers had concerns on the overall layout of
the existing metal buildings and the preliminary landscape plans
and asked Ms. Moore for some clarifica.tionif they were to make
any decisions at this hearing,if Council would have another hearing
on the matter.
Director Moore informed Council that if there were concerns on any
of the aspects of the project, Council would need to call forward
the conditions of approval that Planning Commission imposed on
the project thus far. If Council does not call forward the
conditionsof approval, this hearing would be Council's final
opportunity to have an impact upon the actual mixes of buildings
on the site.
Councilmember Russom asked what actually does get approved by the
Redevelopment Agency. Ms. Moore replied that two approvals are
involved - the City of San Rafael with Planning approval and the
Redevelopment Agency with the disposition and development agreement pro-
cess.If.atthe time of the final plan review there are concerns, and
the Agency insisted on modifications, City approval would be made
consistent with those modifications.
Director Moore told Council that the Design Review Board disagreed
with staff's recommendation originally, when staff recommended
that the metal buildings not be used but be replaced. The majority
of the Planning Commission also did not agree.
Acting Mayor Breiner asked if this was an inappropriate time to be
discussing this or should Council ask staff to bring this matter
back on this particular aspect of the application.
City Manager Beyer stated that if Council wanted more discussion
on those issues, that this be brought up for Council's consideration now,
because the approval of this subject tonight indicates the City's review.
Mr. Scott again addressed Council and stated he appreciated that
this hearing would technically end the City's review, but indicated
that sine the same members of the City Council also sit as the
Redevelop:ent Agency, that they would have an opportunity
to discuss these issues at the Agency meeting.
Mr. Roland Bacci, owner of the project approached the podium and
told Council that he had done everything expected of him in
compliance with the Planning Commission and the Design Review
Board and assured them that he would do a good job on the metal
buildings.
There being no further comments from the public, the hearing was
closed.

Acting Mayor Breiner declared the public hearing opened.
City Manager Beyer explained to Councilthat the public hearing was being
held to meet the requirements of the IRS. This item will be placed
on the agenda for the Council meeting on November 19, 1984 to adopt
a resolution authorizing issuance, sale and delivery of Revenue Bonds.
Councilmember Frugoli stated he will not be at the November 19th Council
meeting and wanted his comments known on the sales tax revenue. He in-
dicated that $10 million is a high figure for a 96,000 sq. ft. building
unless the building has enough retail to generate sales tax.
There being no further comments, Acting Mayor Breiner closed the
public hearing.
DISCUSSION RE CITY .CONTROL OVER SERVICE STATION CONVERSIONS -
File 9-1 x 9-1-2 x 10-5
Acting Mayor Breiner requested discussion on the issue of the possibility
of having conversion of service stations from full -serve to self serve
controlled by the City.
Councilmember Nave indicated that Council should be aware of any
change in operations happening in the business segment. However,
in this issue, when a station is changed to self -serve, it may
appear better looking even though it might generate a little more
traffic.
Councilmember Frugoli indicated that conversion would generate some
traffic, but people have a tendency to drive to the West end of
town if gas is cheaper and this would generate traffic across
town instead of in one's own neikhborhood.
Planning Director Moore interjected that San Anselmo is the only
City in the State of California having an Ordinance regarding
self -serve stations.
Councilmember Russom asked, in addition to the traffic aspect,
what role does the City have in trying to influence the type
of business that operates in the City.
Acting Mayor Breiner asked staff for their input on this subject
and to report back to Council.
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS - KERNER BOULEVARD ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (PW) -
File 6-35
Public Works Director Bernardi briefed the staff report, indicating
that bond proceeds under the Kerner Boulevard Assessment District
provided for the setting aside of funds for the acquisition of portions
of property for roadway purposes, etc. He stated that four acquisitions
were before the Council this evening; three conveyances of street
right of way and two conveyances for sewage pump stations, and that
the grant deeds and right of way contracts were in order and the
amountsto be paid are in conformance with the approved appraisal
amounts.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/5/84 Page 6
SRCC MINUTES (Rt:;gular) 11/5/84 Page 7
Director Bernardi asked that correspondence given to the Council
from Mr. Hanf and Mr. Poeschl be made part of the record, regarding
concerns they have with the development of their property.
Specifically, they are requesting that Council reaffirm its
commitment to them for proposed revisions to their previously
approved project. The revisions involve opening up the site and
the addition of more parking spaces. The City previously
committed to handle this process through the design review procedure.
Secondly, upon proper and complete application for a building
permit, that building permits will be issued in accordance with the
phased development plan previously approved by the City. Staff is
recommending Council reaffirm its position on this development as
project has been thoroughly reviewed by the Planning Commission and
the City Council.
After discussion, Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Frugoli
seconded, that Council adopt the four resolutions accepting the
conveyances and authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to execute the right
of way contracts with the described grantors as authorized in the
Engineer's Report for the Kerner Boulevard Assessment District,
and reaffirm its position on this development.

24. SELECTION OF CONSULTANT FOR MERRYDALE OVERCROSSING (PW) - File 4-3-128
Public Works Director Bernardi indicated to Council that before them
was an agreement for a consultant to perform Phase I'work which is
the final planning phase for the Merrvdale Overcrossing of Highway
101 in Terra Linda. The team is headed by the firm of Wilsey & Ham._
There are 18 items in the Scope of Work to be done before doing the
structural design. It is estimated that all of the work should be
done by July 15, 1985; design work and approval of the Phase II
contract will begin shortly after July, 1985, and it is estimated
that by March 1986, the plans and specs will be completed and at
that time the project will be turned over to CalTrans for their
administration and construction. There will be about a 3 -month
bidding period and award of contract by CalTrans and construction
could probably begin by July 1986 and completed by July 1987.
At that time, Mervyn's will be on line and the building currently
under construction now next to the Velvet Turtle will be completed.
Civic Center North and Civic Center Plaza will be in the process
of getting development approvals, but those projects are not anticipates.
to be coming on line until after the overcrossing is completed.
The work on the design phase of the project is not authorized at this
time, but is currently estimated at $129,200.

25. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMUNICATION RE EAST SAN RAFAEL (Pl) - File
10-2
Planning Director Moore's staff report listed five suggestions/
recommendations -forwarded by the Planning Commission to the City
Council regarding the issue of development in East San Rafael prior
to adoption of a neighborhood plan for the area. They are: First,
the Commission supports Council policy re maintenance of Level of
Service D in the East San Rafael area with Level of Service E being
acceptable if there are solutions to achieve Level of Service D in
the near future. Second, the Commission suggests that issuance of
new building permits in East San Rafael meet the above Level of
Service D traffic policy in the interim period before adoption of
the neighborhood plan, and indicated that traffic studies should
be prepared prior to issuance of project's building permit to
determine that intersection level of service would not exceed Level
of Service D, or Level of Service E for short interim periods,
upon occupancy of that project. Third, the Commission recommends
that any time extensions of existing development approvals in
East San Rafael also meet the Level of Service D traffic policy and
be evaluated via the neighborhood plan checklist procedure previously
recommended by the Commission and endorsed by the Council. Fourth,
the Commission suggests that there be ordinance changes to the
C-2 and M Districts to provide the City more use permit control
over changes and intensifications of use in those existing zoning
districts, with staff to report on the preliminary research done
by staff concerning intensification of existing uses. Fifth, the
Commission recommended that a broad-based citizens committee be
established to lobby for funding of needed transportation improve-
ments in East San Rafael.
Councilmember Russom moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, to
accept the report.

26. REPORT RE CORPORATION YARD, CHEVRON AND SHELL SERVICE STATION SITES:
(CM) - File 4-4-4 x SRRA R-239
City Manager Beyer brought to Council's attention, the letter they
received last summer where Chevron requested a possible trade of
property owned by the corporation on Fourth Street and Lincoln
with the City service station property currently being leased by
Shell Service Station at the corner of Second and Lincoln. After
this was reviewed, it is City's recommendation that Chevron be
notified that the City is not interested in making a trade but if
possible the City would be willing to work with them in relocating
them off Fourth and Lincoln should they decide to do so.
Another item is the study of a possible location for a new corporation
yard. The present site is not the best use with changes that have
happened in the past several years and coming in the future. City
is asking for authorization to proceed with the study (in-house),
and expand the appraisal of the Shell Service Station site to include
the corporation yard site which would give a general value of the
property, and solicit bids for soil studies on the City owned property.
City Manager Beyer continued to explain that as they negotiate with
the developers on the PG&E site, they can refine the timing if they
decide to dispose of the corporation T-ard site.
Councilmember Russom moved and Councilmember Nave seconded, to
approve recommendations: Authorized staff to: a) respond to the
letter from Chevron USA re trade that City is not interested in an
exchange of property at Second and Lindaro but City would be willing
to work with them to assist them in relocating off Fourth and
Lincoln if they wanted to do so; b) commence a study of potential
relocation sites for the City owned corporation yard at Second and
Lincoln; c) expand scope of the presently ongoing appraisal of
Shell Service Station to include the Corporation Yard, and d) solicit
bids for soils studies at City owned Corporation Yard and report back
to Council.
