Mr. Taylor discussed the proposed coopera- tive planning process for regional air resources management.

Mr. Sachs commented on three alternatives available to the local governments: 1. Take no action and have EPA perform project by project review of local land use and transportation projects.

CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL OF Director of Planning Peterson explained that CENTURY 21, FLOYD-BOLTZ on August 14~ 1974, the Planning Commission, REALTORS, OF PLANNING by a S-1 vote in favor of approving the CO~ISSION DENIAL OF appeal, denied the appeal [affirmative ac- REQUEST TO CHANGE COLORS tion requires a vote of the majority (four OF WALL SIGN AT ORANGE AND members) of the total membership of the MELROSE SHOPPING CENTER Commission]. The applicants wish to use their national colors of brown and gold on a wall sign in- stead of the established color theme of blue and white for the shopping center lo- cated on the northwesterly corner of Orange and Melrose Avenues. Hr. Peterson added that two major tenants, Alpha Beta and Sprouse Reitz, use their standard logos and colors -- these exceptions were made at the outset of the shopping center plan. The sign color scheme was approved for the center in 1970 in order to produce a co- ordinated appearance. Council discussion The Council discussed other shopping centers in the City and the approval given to major tenants for their national logos. Councilman Scott commented that the shape and type of signs sets the tone, such as the Longs and Vons signs on Third and L Streets, and the Big Bear sign across from the Fed-P~art shopping center. He remarked that the policy shouldn't be to allow major tenants to use their national logo$:and the local small tenants made to conform to the ordinance.

Staff to review ordinance It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that the staff be directed to review the provision of the ordinance and make amend- ments to the City Council which they feel are appropriate. City Council Meeting 5 Septem~r 10, 1974 Mayor Hamilton commented on Councilman Scott's suggestion that the major tenants be brought into this, if not by color, then by design of the sign. REPORT ON REQUEST OF City Attorney Lindberg ~reported that Propo- CITY OF MODESTO TO sltion 17 would prevent construction of the OPPOSE PROPOSITION 17 New Melones Dam on the Stanislaus River. The Federal Courts have denied all appeals by the group opposing the construction de- claring that the EIR process was properly adhered to. Mr. Lindberg commented on the propriety and constitutionality of allowing, on a ~tate-wid~ basis, the prevention of a project that is essentially a narrowly- regional basis which does not affect the majerity of the people in the State. He felt that if Propositien 17 passes, there would be serious legal questions and the matter would be taken to Court.

ROHR AND GREG with $146,096 designated for the develop- ROGERS PARKS IN THE CITY ment of Rohr Park and $31,035 designated OF CHULA VISTA AS REQUIRED for the phase development of Greg Rogers BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Park. IN THE APPLICATION FOR GRANT MONIES FOR DEVELOPMENT Director of Parks and Recreation Hail ex- plained that the next step in the appli- cation process, which must be completed prior to the submittal of the final grant application to the State on September 15, 1974 is the approval of the development plans for these two parks. ~r~ Hall submitted the plans to the Council showing the proposed recreational improve- ments and landscaping. Council discussion Councilman Hyde questioned whether the Council was "locked in" to this expenditure in any way. ~. Hall noted that the Ad-Hoc Committee on this bond money gave Rohr Park a high priority because it was the green belt compl~menting the Sweetwater Park. The emphasis this year was for park development rather than land acquisition. Councilman Hyde indicated that he was under the opinion, from comments made by ~. Hall at a previous meeting, that the Council had the option to make modifications in these ex- penditures. City Council Meeting 9 September 10, 1974 Mr, Greg Smith, Administrative Analyst, declared that there was very little time for the staff to apply for this particular grant. On July 3, 1974~ the Council ap- proved the County's priority plans for these grant funds. On August 6, 1974, the Council approved a resolution applying for the grant at which time these monies were delineated. Mr. Smith stated that the Council is, in fact, "locked in" to this allocation since it did file a notice of intent and the deadline date is September 15, 1974. Recess A recess was called at 8:55 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 9:10 p.m. City Manager's comments Mr. Thomson explained that the staff pre- pared a "package" so that if the Council wished to move ahead now, in terms of the funds ($177,000 for Rohr Park), it may do so. This grant is set up on a September deadline, However, if the Council desires to approach it from a different process and have it go through the C.I.P. process, the City would not lose the money as long as the City makes use of it by 1980. Director of Parks and Recreation Hall explained that the $177,000 + funds is the total amount of funds to be given to the City, The only exception is that, at the end of the program, if there Are surplus funds, the City must reapply for it. Motion to hold over It was moved by Mayor Hamilton and seconded for next year by Councilman ttobel that this be held over until next year, and that it be put into the C.I,P. Program, and that it be brought back to the Council during the next budget ses- sion, Discussion Councilman Hobel suggested it be considered during Council's review of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Councilman Scott cautioned any delay in this matter due to the inflation factor. tte felt it was incumbent upon the Council to act now. Motion withdrawn Mayor tlamilton withdrew his motion. (At this time Councilman Hobel did not withdraw his second, so the motion stands.) Approving a portion of Councilman Hyde questioned whether the the Plan Council could approve $50,000 for a portion of the Rohr Park development and the balance of the money for development and land acquisition associated with Creg Rogers. Flexibility in Plan Mr. Wittemberg, Assistant to the City Manager, declared that the Council would be limited in its freedom of action to the two project areas (Rohr and Greg Rogers) based on the fact that an Environmental City Council Meeting 10 September 10, 1974 Impact Report was submitted and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was made. If there was less of an impact upon the project area~ it might be done; however, with the greater impact upon a project area, the Council would be restrained from making this modification. City Manager Thomson commented that the two grants are separate -- the Council can go ahead with the $31,000 for Greg Rogers and hold the other grant over for review. Second withdrawn Councilman Hobel withdrew his second to the Mayor's motion. Motion for approval of It was moved by Councilman Hyde that the portion of Plan Council approve the Greg Rogers portion of the grant request as proposed by the staff and the balance of that portion for Rohr Park not be pursued at this time.
