Resolution 9-87 - Approving Amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map Revising Minimum Lot Size from 1/2 Acre Without Sewer to 20,000 Sq. Ft. with Sewer in High Density Single Fam- ily Areas with Sewer C. Ordinance 145 - Amending Official Zoning Maps Revising the Minimum Lot Size in the Limited Single Family Residential (LSF-X) and Residential Single Family, 1/2 Acre Minimum (RSF-X) Areas (FIRST READING) Mr. Engen, Commun. Devel. Director , gave staff report and responded to questions from Council. Public Comment John Falkenstein, Cuesta Engineering, spoke in support of this mea- sure, noting that its adoption will enable those in his profession to give their clientele representation on a straight-forward approach (eliminating many of the "maybe' s" on lot split questions) . Art Cunningham, 8495 El Dorado Rd. , asked if the Peterson project was included in this issue; Mr. Engen responded it is not included yet, as it is coming to Council at a future meeting. Mr. Cunningham contended that, if 20,000 sq. ft. lots are approved, there is no need for an LSF-X designation since ownership of a horse, cow or pig on a 1/2 acre would be, effectively, eliminated according to his understanding of the current ordinance regarding animal use (noting the requirement for a full half acre of 21,780 sq. ft. ) . Mr. Engen responded that, al- though the wording is somewhat complicated, the ordinance does have provisions for pre-existing farm animals in the residential single family areas and is understood by those owning animals in that zone.

Director, gave staff report and responded to questions from Council. Public Comment Sharon Morin, resident, spoke in favor of changing the zoning to ac- commodate more revenue to have a hotel/motel at subject location, as opposed to multi-family congestion; she also supports saving as many trees as possible..

D. NEW BUSINESS 1. Authorization for Public Works Department to Solicit Request for Proposals for Engineering Services on Design of San Andreas Bridge and Garcia Road Bridge Mr. Sensibaugh, Pub. Works Director, gave staff report and responded to questions from Council. Due to concerns expressed by Council regarding staff submittal of grant application prior to their auth- orization, lengthy discussion focused on the issues involved in the process of application for grant funds for these two bridges and potential obligations by the City. Mr. Sensibaugh stressed the timeliness involved regarding the City' s notification to the State expressing its desire to be a candidate for grant funds when notified of their availability. He noted that, had staff had opportunity to address this proposal at the mid-year budget study session, funds from this year 's budget appropriation would not have been requested but recommended as a considerationfor the following year. Councilman Molina noted that Council expressed the priority of the street resurfacing program at the budget study session (a portion of which may have to be postponed for one year should Council approve this proposal) , and he recommended further research of funding alter- natives.

Sensibaugh reviewed the history of this issue, reviewing the staff report (in agenda packet) . Public Comment Vance Weber , Owner of Open Air Flowers, explained the continual parking problem on Cascada with no parking allowed on ECR; he feels approval of a 30-minute parking limit will help new tenants in Lucky Plaza tremendously. MOTION: By Councilwoman Norris to adopt Res. 16-87 , seconded by Coun- cilman Handshy; passed by 4:1 roll-call, with Councilwoman Borgeson opposed. E.
