(3) Lon Uso, 31302 Via Las Palmas, stated that he was against this system and felt it would be a hidden tax on residents and visitors to the City.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE LOS RIOS SPECIFIC PLAN (AUGUST 4. 1998 CITY COUNCIL DRAFT, SPECIFIC PLAN 78-1) (400.40 Stating a conflict of interest due to the possible financial impacts of this item to his business/residence, Council Member Jones left the dais. Proposal: Hearing held to consider a comprehensive update of the Los Rios Specific Plan. The Los Rios Ad Hoc Committee completed draft amendments which were accepted by the City Council on August 4, 1998 as the public review draft. The Los Rios Planning Area contains approximately 35 acres and is designated "Special Study Area" in the General Plan and "Specific Plan" on the Official Zoning Map. The Planning Area is also located within Community Redevelopment Agency limits. Written Communications: Report dated October 19, 1999, from the Planning Director, forwarding the recommendations of the Commissions. The Report identified and analyzed the main issues, which included identification and mitigation of potentially significant cultural resource impacts and establishment of appropriate land use, circulation, housing, and design policies which will protect the integrity of the Los Rios National Register Historic District. Exhibits depicting the circulation alternatives were on display. William Ramsey, Principal Planner, made an oral presentation advising that the process of reviewing the draft amendments had taken 18 months. He advised that consideration had been given to 5 circulation alternatives and Alternative C1 had been recommended. That alternative would expand the pedestrian plaza into the pedestrian right -or -way to create a purely pedestrian -oriented area and break Los Rios Street into 2 segments. Hammer -head turn-arounds would be installed to maintain access, particularly to the O'Neill Museum and the Rios Adobe. He advised that the draft amendments from the ad-hoc committee had included a mixed use concept in the park area; that use had not survived the public process. The Planning Commission had recommended that the area designated and zoned "Park" be designated community passive park and the portion now occupied by the RV Storage lot be designated "Special Study" area. Public Hearing.: Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Greiner opened the Public Hearing and the following persons responded: (1) Sheree Ito, 31825 Los Rios Street, stated that she was frustrated and dismayed with the Planning Commission's decision to endorse Circulation Alternative C1. She stated that the traffic problems on Los Rios Street had been generated by the City allowing establishment of four businesses without designated employee City Council Minutes -8- 10/19/99 305 -- or visitor parking. The businesses generated increased pedestrian traffic, which added to the pedestrian traffic problems already experienced due to use of the street by residents of the Capistrano Villas. Ms. Ito stated that residents of Los Rios had asked for relief from traffic and pedestrian circulation problems; that the Los Rios residents did not want their streets or access reconfigured. She urged the City to redirect the Capistrano Villas pedestrian traffic to Paseo Adelanto or Camino Capistrano so they would access Los Rios in the same manner as every one else, stating that pedestrians seemed to feel cars did not belong on the streets. Ms. Ito asked for speed in building a parking facility, suggesting that for pedestrian convenience, it could be located on a portion of the current RV storage lot and; further, consideration should be given to establishing the parking lot as a pay facility. Ms. Ito discussed problems with illegal drop-offs and pick-ups of train users and urged that Code Enforcement be increased. Ms. Ito requested support of Circulation Alternative 5 without Street "B," stating that all other alternatives negative impacted both their property and the Los Rios District. Ms. Ito stated that the Ito family did not give the City any permission to restrict any portion of their property. She indicated there was a verbal and written agreement with the City for development of the southerly portion of their property as Street A, and the agreement had affected their use of their property. She felt that since Street A was no longer under consideration, their consideration of the City for that past two decades deserved like consideration. She advised that the Ito family would fight Circulation Alternative C1 if necessary and recounted her dismay that throughout the public review _._ process the Commissions had listened to the residents and voted in favor of Alternative 5; at the last moment the Planning Commission had supported Circulation Alternative C1. She discussed potential traffic problems that would develop if Alternative C1 were implemented and further indicated that the expanded pedestrian plaza would maim the historical integrity of the District. (2) Don Tryon, 27539 Paseo Mimosa, spoke as a member of the Historical Society, noting that they endorsed the parking lot with access from Paseo Adelanto; concurred with the deletion of Streets "A and "B;" concurred with Ms. Ito that pedestrians should be re-routed to Paseo Adelanto for safety reasons; spoke in support of retaining the access to the rear of the Historical Society property; and, stated that Los Rios is listed on the National Register of Historic Streets and its integrity would be lost if the proposed pedestrian plaza were implemented. Mr. Tryon asked that the Council maintain Los Rios as a viable historical street and suggested it be designated one-way going south, be restricted to residents, business owners and their commercial vendors; and, tourists be directed to a parking lot. (3) Jeff Vasquez, 31891 Los Rios Street, stated that he supported Alternative C-1 and noted that the danger occurred between cars traveling south to Del Obispo and residents pulling out of their driveways. Mr. Vasquez stated that an exception should be made to Alternative C-1 to delete the restriction on left turns from Los Rios Street to Del Obispo Street. City Council Minutes -9- 10/19/99 306 (4) Millie Jones, 31791 Los Rios Street, stated that the Jones Mini Farm was in its 20th year of business. She received clarification regarding the proposed turn- around on the southern segment of Los Rios Street. She indicated there was no agreement with the O'Neill Museum for use of the Jones' portion of River Street. She supported Circulation Alternative C1, stating access could then be at the rear of their property. She suggested that bollards could be placed at the beginning of the Museum with access via the back and parking in the front. The turn -around would create a dangerous situation, especially in view of the amount of pedestrian traffic and would cause additional liability concerns they did not want to incur. She urged that safety be kept in mind. (5) Cathy Sandhouse, 31901 Los Rios Street, expressed concern with Alternative C-1 and the proposed hammerhead turn -around, which she felt would cause pedestrian hazards. Ms. Sandhouse supported the street continuing through the area, one-way north, in order to accommodate both pedestrian and car traffic. (6) John Trujillo, 28371 Via Anzar and 31875 Los Rios Street, stated that he was not in favor of dividing Los Rios Street and was opposed to the proposed hammerhead because his lot would no longer be part of the historic street. Mr. Trujillo suggested that traffic should be redirected via signage to Paseo Adelanto, left turns should be allowed onto Del Obispo, and a parking lot should be constructed. Once those improvements had been implemented, the results could be assessed prior to making any permanent modifications. (7) Dave Bachelder, 31631 Los Rios Street, felt that the answer to the traffic problem was to build a parking lot, noting that most problems generated from the Ramos House Cafe. Mr. Bachelder cited opposition to splitting up or making Los Rios Street one-way. He suggested that the City leave the street alone and put in a parking lot with easy access to the core businesses in the center of Los Rios Street. There being no further response, the Hearing was declared closed with the right to re- open at any time. Continuation of Consideration: It was moved by Council Member Hart and seconded by Council Member Campbell to continue the Hearing to the meeting of November 16, 1999, to allow the Los Rios Ad- hoc Committee, consisting of Mayor Greiner and Council Member Swerdlin, to review the public testimony, work to build a consensus, and return to the Council with a recommendation which would also include phasing of improvements. The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Council Members Swerdlin, Hart, Campbell and Mayor Greiner NOES: None ABSENT: Council Member Jones City Council Minutes -10- 10119199 307 Council Member Jones returned to the dais. 3.
