From The Honorable John W. Ho lmdahl, State Senator, 16th District, suggesting the City support Senate Bill 641, introduced by him, amending Section 647 of the Penal Code, which declared that the State had not preempted the field of the criminal aspects of loitering or otherwise being on the e street at night and any county or city might adopt ordinances supplementary to State law in such field.

He remarked that the Bill certainly had the support of this Council, the League of California Cities and the Supervisors' Association. The communication was also to definitely state the Council's support of Senate Bill 641 in guarding the principle of home rule. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: 11. Mr. Frank Gottstein, 731 Haight Avenue, objected to the encroachment into the sidewalk area of cars parked in a certain Used Car Lot on Webster Street. He felt this presented a hazardous condition to pedestrians and urged that the police be instructed to request the owners of said lot to keep the automobiles off the sidewalk. The City Manager was asked to have this situation checked. HEARINGS: 12' matter was called up concerning the Appeal, filed by Whitney & Hanson, Attorneys, on behalf of Mr. John Anthony, from the decision of the Planning Board to deny the requested variance on prop- erty at 500 Park Street. This case had been continued from the Council meetings of March 16, and April 20, 1965. The Clerk stated a letter had been received from Mr. J. H. Tennant, 2416 Roosevelt Drive, registering the objections of neighbors and himself to additional variances on this property. Upon request, Mr. Johnson, Planning Director, reviewed the circumstances and pertinent details of this variance application. City Attorney Cunningham pointed up the fact that the Planning Board had denied the application for a variance based upon consideration of Section 11-161(b)(e) of the Alameda Municipal Code (Zoning Ordi- nance section). He stated the legal issue before the City Council was whether or not that action, in denying the variance under said Code Section, should be affirmed, modified or reversed. Vice President Rose then called upon the proponents and Mr. Stanley D. Whitney, Attorney, addressed the Council on behalf of Mr. Anthony. He presented a letter signed by Mr. Charles A. Tillman, 2415 - Roosevelt Drive, and two petitions, signed by three residents and three businessmen in the area, all of whom were in favor of the granting of the requested variance, as follows: George E. Campbell, 2434 Roosevelt Drive; Charles A. and Estelle J. Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive; George S. Kieffer, Edward J. Codiga, Jr., and Ronald H. Cowan, all of 550 Park Street. Mr. Whitney also distributed pictures of the office building and residences involved and the yard areas affected, for inspection by the Councilmen. He emphasized that the proposed addition would extend only ten feet by sixteen feet farther than the existing building and was needed to provide more adequate file space for an attorney's office. Mr. Charles A. Tillman also spoke in support of Mr. Anthony's proposed plans. The opponents were then called up and the following spoke in protest against any additional variances being granted on this property: Mr. Frank E. Sorisio, 2412 Roosevelt Drive, and owner, too, of 2414 Roosevelt Drive; Mr. and Mrs. James Tennant, 2416 Roosevelt Drive; Mr. Edward Larkin, 2417 Roosevelt Drive. The main objection was the infringement of privacy of the adjacent residences. Vice President Rose then declared the Hearing closed. In response to Councilman Bartley's questions,' Mr. Johnson gave a very informative clarification of several aspects of this situation, particularly the need for and value of maintaining setback lines and yard areas. Following some discu'ssion, Coun- , cilman La Croix moved the decision of the Planning Board be upheld and the Appeal be denied. The motion was seconded by Councilman Bartley and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Council- , men Bartley, La Croix, Jr., and Vice President Rose, (3). Noes: Councilman McCall, (1). Absent: President Godfrey, (1), l3' called up was the matter concerning the requested reclassification of 2022 High Street by Mr. Kenneth McKay - including 2020 High Street and 3201 Fernside Boulevard - from "C-1", Neighborhood Business District, to "R-5", General Apartment District. St' The Clerk stated there was on file the Affidavit of Publication of the Notice of Hearing in this case. Also, copies of the minutes of the Planning Board meeting at which this matter was considered had been sent to the Councilmen for their information. A letter of protest against the reclassification had been received from Mrs. Lena L. Emmons, 3233 Fernside Boulevard, as well as a petition signed by seventeen residents in the area. Upon request, Mr. Johnson reviewed in detail the several phases of this case. Mr. Johnson emphasized that the principal problem involved with this property was its poor accessibility for any type of development. He pointed out the ultimate tie vote of the Board necessitated the matter being sub- mitted to the Council without recommendation. Mr. Cunningham stated this was an unusual case in that, although the Planning Board had submitted a summary of its findings as required by the Zoning Ordinance, namely Section 11-175 - it made no recom- mendation, as it was charged with doing. Therefore, it must be considered a failure on the part of the Planning Board under the Code Section, with the result that the proposal was deemed to have been approved. Consequently, the matter now came to the Council, because of this peculiarity, as an implied approval by the Planning Board of the requested rezoning from "C-1" to "R-5". Mr. Cunningham explained that the Council had the authority to extend the time within which the Planning Board could make its recommendation - and the Council could, therefore, if it desired, refer the matter back to the Board with a request for the appropriate recommendation. However, if the Council would rather act on the matter at this meeting, it could be considered that the application for reclassification was 4 approved. Under these circumstances, the issue before the Council was whether the favorable recom- mendation by the Planning Board on the requested rezoning should be approved, modified or disapproved. City Manager Weller reviewed the chronology of the action taken in this case. It was then agreed to \ proceed with the Hearing. Upon the call for proponents, Mr. James Fernhoff, Attorney, appeared on behalf of Mr. Kenneth McKay, Applicant. Mr. Fernhoff distributed several photographs showing various angles of the property in question for the information of the Councilmen. He submitted his arguments in favor of the rezoning for this unique piece of property. The opponents were then called for and Mr. Barry Robinson, owner of the Marina convalescent hospital at 3201 Fernside Boulevard, stated he was not particularly interested in the action to be taken on Mr. McKay's parcel. He urged only that his property remain in the "C-1" District. ( The following also spoke in opposition to the requested reclassification: Mrs. Lena L. Emmons, 3233 Fernside Boulevard, G . N. Pope, 1820 Bay Street; Marie Riordan, 3226 Fernside Boulevard. 1 Mr. John Mitcheom, Realtor, commented on a certain point merely for clarification There being no further speakers, Vice P resident Rose declared the Hearing closed. Councilman La Croix pointed out that this peculiar property presented problems regardless of the zone, but merely because of its location adjacent to the High Street Bridge and therefore whatever develop- ment evo lved would create a traffic hazard. He then moved that the reclassification of this property . be denied and the lot in question remain in the "C-1" District. The motion was seconded by Councilman McCall and carried on the following vote. Ayes: Four. Noes: None. Absent: President Godfrey, (1). ::. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS, ETCETERA: 14.

Councilman Bartley introduced the following ordinance, after which it was laid over under provi- sion of law and the Charter: "Ordinance No. New Series An Ordinance Authorizing Execution of Lease of Certain Tide and Submerged Lands to Pacific Shops, Inc., a California Corporation." Councilman Bartley raised a question concerning the apparent unlimited use of these lands by the Lessee. Mr. Cunningham explained that many uses were permissible so long as they did not interfere with commerce and navigation. He pointed out the City had received this property from the State by virtue of a Trust Grant and the City was restricted in the use which might be made of it. Lessees and holders of Franchises from the City of any portion of the tidelands Trust Lands were likewise limited to such uses. Vice President Rose expressed his concern with the amount of rental and stated he was not sure he wanted to tie up future Councils for the next fifty years. He said he might propose an escalator clause of some kind to protect the City at the time of adoption of this ordinance at the next meeting. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 26. Councilman McCall stated he had fought very hard to procure the Alameda Memorial State Beach and now there was a great controversy about its ultimate use - and this area seemed to "up for grabs". He asked that the City Manager request the Board of the State Division of Beaches and Parks to attend the City Council meeting on May 18, to make a formal presentation of what it intended to develop in this area, when it expected to start the improvement thereof and how much money had been appropriated therefor. He pointed up the discrepancy of whether this area was to be developed as a State Beach or to be taken over for a College Campus. Mr. Weller reviewed the situation. He agreed the City should begin to take more affirmative action than it had heretofore and he suggested the City send a delegation to Sacramento to consult with the proper officials there. He felt better results could be accomplished by this approach. Councilman McCall stated he would be willing to cooperate in this respect provided Assemblyman Crown would make arrangements for the City delegation to meet with the appropriate officials. NEW BUSINESS: 27. Councilman McCall called attention to the area along the South Shore beach from Grand Street west- erly which was designated for fishing. He stated this section had now become infiltrated with swimmers and he thought it created a hazardous condition. Councilman McCall suggested the area for fishing be relocated farther west and signs be posted designating certain areas for the fishermen and the swimmers, respectively. The matter was to be investigated. RESOLUTIONS: 28.
