(tentative Corporation) to be the next items New Business No. 18 (San Diego Transit) parcel map, Santa Anita Development of business. 2/6/73 165 A communication from the City Manager in regard to the San Diego Transit Corporation's proposed agreement to upgrade bus service by reinstating Route B (linking crosstown San Diego service to South Bay Plaza Shopping Center, also providing a transfer connection with Route L service) for a total of 19 trops, reinstatement of Route 0 via National Avenue to increase number of trips from 15 to 24$, the addition of one early morning and two late evening trips to Route 12 operating seven (not 5) days per week and recommending acceptance of Transit Corporation's recommendations and log all calls relating to bus service to gain some indication of the adequacy of the service was presented. City Manager Osburn stated this is what we have been waiting for; it will add a little over a hundred thousand miles to the annual bus route mileage in the City; the bus company felt they could provide better service upgrading these routes than to try the red route or the green route that were studied within our own city. There was discussion. Moved by Reid, seconded by Camacho, in favor of the_ giIy__Manager's recommendation. Councilman Pinson inquired if schedules and destinations could be posted at bus stops. Tom Prior San Diego Transit Corporation was present and stated that all bus stops have a triangular sign that says "Bus Stop San Diego Transit" in white, reflecterized letters so that they show up at night; as to putting a time schedule at each bus stop, this could be done, however, it would be quite a costly item to make sure these are updated as timetables are changed; San Diego Transit prints its own timetables in their own shop and they distribute thousands of these per month; they have telephone information service that is constantly manned by people and periodically the telephone company runs checks on delays, etc.; if they shouad find that it is not adequate they will be happy to work on any with the funds available. program posible stated schedules are mountedhatekeybusrstors�lussion. Mr. Prior stops; they are not at all stops because the bus leaves here at 10 a.m. and two blocks later it would be ridiculous to say its there at 10 a,.m, when it may be there at 10:01 or it may be there at 10:02; but they do put those time tables in containers at the bus stops at key locations; if they do not have enough such schedules displayed in National City, they will be more than happy to provide them. Mayor Morgan inquired about shuttle routes. Mayor Morgan asked that Mr. Osburn make a study oaf ptilZe routes for a report to the Council; it would be nice to have bus/over in the Tidelands in the morning and the evening. Mr. Prior said they would be happy whatever service the Mayor and the Council wish and with the implementa- tion of Senate Bill 325 they believe that there are adequate funds avail- able now to improve service in all the metropolitan San Diego county area and one of the things they are recommending is that they restore the service that was eliminated close to two years ago...now.,,there are funds available which are being paid by everyone who pays sales tax and we all pay sales tax, Mr, Prior continued that SB 325 contains a clause providing that a political jurisdiction that has been supporting public transit can reduce the amount of support they have provided over a 5- ye ar average period; at the time that $13,000 (National City's Share) was put in their application, it was not clear whether that $13,000 could be averaged over a 5-year period because it was a one-time payment; of this morning? Executive Director of CPO, Richard Huff advises that its can be averaged over 5 years so your payment out of your general one -fifth of that. There was discussion of SB 325 funds, thef use ofund lthese funds, the possibility of City operated mini. -buses which would connect with the San Diego Transit Corp.'s buses at the City boundaries, what the people thought SB 325 funds were to be used for etc. Mr, Prior suggested reading this morning's Los Angeles Times and see what happened so Southern California Rapid Transit District, they have set aside for the time their proposed construction of a rapid transit system of which they have 39 million dollars a year coming out of SB 325 funds and in today's Evening Tribune Frank Walton, Secretary of Business and Transportation Agency, made the statement that mass transit in Califnnia isra s a minimum of 25 years away; also in SB 325, Article 2,0 Section 99220 gaph b , reads, "the fostering, continuing and development of public transportation systems;" that's what this bill was created for; it was not created for the exclusive purpose of building high speed mass transit 2/6/73 166 systems. There was further discussion. Motion carried by the followin vote: Ayes: Camacho, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Pinson, Waters. g REPORTS A Planning Department transmittal in regard to the tentative parcel map dividing a 20 acre parcel owned by Mr. and Mrs. Simon Aardema into two parts (division made to accomodate the proposed Gemco Store site to b developed completely within National Cityoneare e easterly corner of 30th and Highland, Santa Anita Development Corporation,souti and stating the Planning Commission recommended it be approved subject of one condition (within one year from approval of this map the applicant shall file with the County Recorder a parcel map, approved by the City Engineer.,.) was presented, Planning Dir.

Gerschler stated the Planning Commission received a request from Lloyd Rash regarding the property at 130 East 8th Street, an old supermarket building, he by letter indicated to the Planning Commission that he wanted to convert the store to a used furniture and antique store and in the back of the building he wanted to conduct one night a week an auction, and he wanted also one day per month to have a daylight auction and he asked for an interpretation of code; the code is silent on the question of where auctions are allowed; the commission felt it was beyond the realm of the interpretation and set the matter for a public hearing as an amendment to the zoning ordinance; they considered various alternatives and they felt that an auction business that is accessory a permitteduse could be compatible to a neighborhood provided that a to conditional use permit was obtained as required; they did not feel that an auction house operated exclusively as an auction house on a full-time basis would be appropriate in the commercial zone at all and the have g not made the recommendation on the y on still would not be permitted in the commercial zonesuof�Na iouae; that Mr. Gerschler continued, the Planning Commission's recommendationCisytha the City's zoning code be amended to allow auction businesses that are that accessory to permitted uses in the C-3 zone to be conducted provided the Council and the Planning Commission first approve a conditional use permit therefor; the purpose of a conditional use permit allow the City and the Council to limit the hours of usebe parking, e of d p the size of the auction business„ the way that the auction business is conducted to make it compatible with surrounding neighboring commercial activities.

Mr, Gerschlersaid that under the new provisions for conditional use permit any time the City hat Council finds that a conditional use permit is being conducted in viola- tion of the conditions attached to it, you can give notice and have a hearing. City Attorney McLean said once a permit is issued, as long as he complies with the terms, he has a legal right to do business and you cannot come in 90 days later and say we have thought it all over and I made a mistake and cancel the permit; you will have to demonstrate a violation to justify cancelling the permit. There was discussion, Mr• Gerschler stated if the amendment were approved tonight, Mr. Rash would then be required to go back and file a request for conditional use permit; the Commission would have a hearing on it; the Council would have a hearing on it; the Commission would prepare suggested conditions; the Council would consider those suggestions • could deny them could , conditions to them, Mr. Rash said you could approve them, you that was the onlyy way they they wouldoperate within the walls of g the buildin the auction would be by Waters, seconded by Camacho, they blice ahea ings eber clos discussion.d on (the hMewed roposed amendment to allow auctions as an, accessor use Zonin Ordinance No, go along with the amendment and refer it to the Tannin Commission for further study.
