1. SAN JUAN MARKETPLACE REGULATIONS (150.60)
Stanley V. Kensic, 31212 Belford Drive, candidate for City Council in the November 1992 election,
stated that his application for a political information booth at the San Juan Marketplace for October
had been denied since the Marketplace would only allow one applicant for each type of event. He
stated that limiting the public's access to the City Council candidates was a disservice to the community
and noted that there would not be another opportunity to have a booth before the November election.
He felt that the matter should be addressed by the Council since the City issued a Conditional Use
Permit for the event. He noted that the matter needed to be addressed immediately because of the 14-
day
4day filing period required before the October event.
The Council generally concurred that the Marketplace should be accessible to all candidates.
Councilman Hausdorfer noted that the event occurs on public streets and public streets can be used by
candidates. Mr. Denhalter stated that he was scheduled to meet with the operators of the Marketplace
regarding the legal issues involved and that he may be able to assist the situation. It was a consensus

of the Council that the City Attorney be directed to clarify the issue with the operators of San Juan
Marketplace and Mr. Kensic this week.
2. DRUG REHABILITATION HOUSE (585.20)
Richard Strandberg, 32961 Calle San Marcos, submitted an information sheet which was distributed in
the Troy Homes neighborhood in opposition to the establishment of a drug rehabilitation house to be
located at 32962 Calle San Marcos. He stated that in his experience as a law enforcement officer, this
type of establishment has a profound negative effect on a residential neighborhood, particularly with
safety of children. He noted that the neighborhood planned to organize their opposition and attend the
October 6th Council meeting. He requested the City's assistance to defeat this proposal.
Mr. Scarborough stated that City shares the concerns of the neighborhood and suggested that a meeting
be scheduled between staff and the neighbors to discuss the issues prior to the October 6 Council
meeting. Mr. Denhalter advised that The state wished to encourage these types of facilities in
communities and had pre-empted local control. The only recourse for the City would be to request the
appropriate State agency to impose very strict licensing on the house, or to have the City carefully
inspect the premises for zoning and Municipal Code violations.
It was a consensus of the Council that the Assistant City Manager meet with the neighbors prior to the
City Council meeting of October 6. Councilman Hausdorfer suggested that City staff provide accurate
information to the residents regarding the law in this matter and contact Senator Bergeson and
Assemblyman Ferguson to get political involvement. Mayor Jones requested that the Council be advised
of the status of the sale of the house, and Councilman Harris suggested that staff review the City's
regulations with regard to boarding houses. Councilman Friess advised the residents to concentrate
their efforts and petitions toward the appropriate State licensing agency for this type of establishment.
