get businesses and clubs to provide donations

B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
1. Public hearing on Conditional Use Permit U820331:1, 6955 Por-
tola Road, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, to
allow a commercial trailer to be used as temporary classroom
space for a period of two years while a permanent building is
under construction at another site
Larry Stevens reviewed the Planning Commission' s recommendations
which approved the temporary classroom trailer subject to certain con-
ditions, except that condition 4 requiring handicapped restrooms was
deleted.
Dr. R. Dean Robinson, the applicant' s representative, asked for
consideration in deleting the fire hydrant and road repair require-
ments.
Mr. Warden urged consideration of deleting conditions 2 and 3, the
fire hydrant and road repair. He was concerned as to whether- these
conditions were reasonable and fair when applied to a temporary use.
The effect of these conditions is to require a permanent solution to
long existing problems because of a request for a short-term, limited
use.
Allen Grimes reminded Council that the condition imposed by Con
' ditional Use Permits requires that the they be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Council members discussed this matter and questioned Staff about
the Water Company's upgrading of the fire hydrants. Mr. Warden stated
that they were in the process of developing that program.
' MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that Council grant the Conditional
Use Permit eliminating number 2 from the conditions. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Stover.
There was further discussion regarding this matter with Allen
Grimes pointing out that this action did clarify the test of reason-

ableness and did not clearly establish a policy as to applying long-
term conditions to a temporary use request.
MOTION: Councilman Nelson amended his motion to include deleting
number 3 of the conditions. The amendment was accepted by
Councilman Stover and carried with Councilman Mackey voting
no.
2. Report from Planning Director regarding parcels created in
violation of subdivision regulations
Mr. Stevens stated that the problem of an illegal lot can be
created when an owner divides a parcel by selling a portion of it
through a grant deed without following Map Act provisions and a buyer
' then purchases the property without knowing that the lot was improper-
ly created, thereby becoming an illegal lot which could not be built
upon. It was suggested that Council direct an amendment to the sub-
division ordinance to allow certificates of compliance for illegal
' lots created after a specified date. Comments were heard from people
who have encountered this problem and now cannot build on a lot even
though the lot had been in existence for quite some time and had
passed through several different ownerships.
MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that Council approve alternate num-
ber 2 in the Staff memo dated May 6, 1982, and set the date
of the City' s incorporation as the cut-off date. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Stover and unanimously carried.

MOTION: Councilman Stover moved that this constitute the first read-
ing of Ordinance No. 52. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Nelson and carried with Councilman Mackey voting no.

meeting on this matter because of the two story structure being pro-
posed and not because he was opposed to--the rezoning. He was now vot-
ing yes because he favored the re-zoning.

$1,300 ,000 of 1982 Sewer Revenue Bond to the Atascadero Coun-
ty Sanitation District in order to aid in financing the ac-
' quisition and construction of wastewater treatment improve-
ments for the District
Mr. Warden reviewed the latest information by noting that he had
been advised by FmHA that the ordinance initiating a rate increase in
sewer charges would have to be passed before the loan could be closed,
originally scheduled for June 2 or 3, 1982. In order to meet the FmHA
dates, the Council will have to pass an urgency ordinance on May 24,
1982 increasing the rates or take a chance that the contractor will
extend his bid. He does not, according to the County Engineering Of-
fice, seem inclined to continue indefinite extensions. In order, how-
ever , to provide as wide a notification as possible, Mr . Warden sug-
gested that the proposed ordinance be published in summary form twice
before the next meeting. This should give the public an opportunity
to become aware of the rate increase and provide notification that the
matter will be heard at the May 24th meeting. Council agreed that an
urgency measure should be prepared for the May 24th meeting and that
the item be published for public review.
