It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilwoman Boggs, and passed by unanimous vote to waive further reading and to adopt. Mayor Davila opened the hearing on V-149, Vacation of Second Street and New Street, which was continued from the regular meeting of March 25, 1986. Mr. Ralph understands the reciprocal agreements have still not been received, but are on the verge of being completed. He requested continuance to the next meeting. It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilwoman Boggs, and passed by unanimous vote to continue the hearing to 7:30 p.m., April 22, 1986, in the Council Chamber of Downey City Hall. Mayor Davila opened the hearing on Proposed Amendment to Downey Municipal Code regarding Service Station Amortization Schedule. He inquired if the City Clerk had the Proof of Publication, and the response was yes. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and so ordered to receive and file the Proof. Mr. Cutts commented on an Ordinance previously adopted regarding combined service stations and convenience markets, which established locational require- ments for these uses, as well as requiring separate restrooms for men and women, air, water, and windshield wiping materials. A subsequent Ordinance was adopted that these items be provided free of charge but there was no provision for an amortization schedule, and the proposed Ordinance establishes an amortization schedule of not exceeding two. years commencing at the time of effective date of the Ordinance. The Ordinance allows service stations con- structed prior to April 9, 1985, to bring their stations up to Code. There is provision for reasonable extension of time from the Planning Commission based upon certain findings contained in the Ordinance. Council Minutes 4/8/86 -2- -7 q r7 + Mayor Davila inquired if the City Clerk had received any correspondence, and the response was no. Mayor Davila then asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of the proposed Code Amendment. Mr. Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee, said when the Ordinance was adopted in 1985 no action was taken to enforce it until such time as the Council directed a letter be sent out to gas stations in December 1985. Also a survey of gas stations showed that 85 percent did not offer restrooms, nor did they offer air and water. A large number of stations have installed meters, and an 18-month amortization would give more time for stations to install them. Mr. Whittington said when the survey was done most stations had two restrooms, many of which are still in place but were boarded over when the stations were converted. There being no one else to speak in favor, Mayor Davila asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. Mr. Stan Sackler, business address 9706 Telegraph Road at the corner of True, said he has been at that location since 1960. He feels the Ordinance as it pertains to operators of gasoline stations is unfair legislation, and he noted that stations have changed to self-service, which means fewer employees on duty to maintain facilities, they are automated, and they work on lower margins that full -service stations. Mr. Sackler distributed photos to the Council of restroom vandalism at his station and pointed out that 85 percent of the people who want to use his restrooms are not patrons, they are transients. He mentioned he is located near other cities that do not have such an Ordinance and commented on the extensive remodeling that would be necessary to provide restrooms for the handicapped. He also opposed providing free air, water and windshield service for vehicles and suggested before implementing an.amortiza- tion that the City provide a way for maintaining these facilities. Mr. Sackler suggested alternatives of differentiating between self and full -service stations and requiring full -service stations to provide the services for free; eliminating the word "free" from the Ordinance; or providing City funds and manpower to maintain the facilities and supplies. Mr. Al Johnson, construction coordinator for Thrifty Oil Company, feels the oil industry is being discriminated against in providing free restrooms and questioned why they are being singled out of other retail businesses in the City. He noted historically this was part of the service station business but that times and the way of doing business have changed and suggested designat- ing public areas in the City for restrooms since it is a public problem. Mr. Johnson then commented on the family operation of Thrifty Oil, with its main office in the City of Downey, and mentioned at the time they remodelled their stations would have been the time to include restrooms. It is a liability and security problem to patrol this type of facility. He distributed photos of Thrifty Oil stations in the City, as well as some of their vandalized facilities, and requested reconsideration of the Ordinance with regard to the retroactive requirement. Responding to questions, he explained their stations have one restroom each. Mr. Gordon Klemmer, operator of service station at 7539 Firestone Boulevard, said when he restored his station in 1984 he was not advised to have two restrooms, but there is one restroom in the center of the building which is available to the public. He does provide free air and water, but objects to a retroactive provision for providing another restroom. Mrs. Glendon, 9733 Guatemala, cited an incident involving a service station near her home in which the restrooms were used by drug addicts and said requiring restrooms is not necessarily a service to the community. Mr. Michael Lofti, operator of the Mobil Station at 9000 Telegraph Road, mentioned he was the subject of attacks by people using his restrooms. He feels gas stations are being singled out because the restaurant next door to his business does not have a public restroom. There being no one else to speak in opposition, Mr. Whittington was granted time to speak in rebuttal. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilman Barb, and so ordered to close the hearing. Council Minutes 4/8/86 -3- Councilman Santangelo concurs with a service station being allowed to operate its business at a profit and for the safety of the owner and his employees, but he does not feel government should tell a station operator how to operate his business. He is not in favor of telling a station it must provide free water, air and public restrooms. Mr. Cutts responded to questions and was asked whether a variance proce- dure would be available if the Ordinance is adopted, to which he replied yes. When asked about the stations already having restroom facilities, Mr. Newton stated those facilities would have to be made available to the public without the amortization period being operative. The amortization would only be for those stations that did not have facilities present and they would have to comply with providing facilities, including reconstruction if necessary. Councilwoman Boggs indicated her concurrence with Councilman Santangelo in that the City would be asking the private sector to solve a public problem, although there is a problem that must be addressed. She does not favor passing the Ordinance but taking another look at how to solve this particular public problem. Mayor Davila suggested sending this back to staff for a detailed report to see if these problems can be solved, particularly the stations that had permit to build but not required to construct a restroom. He questioned how many stations have restroom facilities but are locked up. Councilman Cormack said current restroom facilities should be opened and maintained. Councilman Barb mentioned this is the result of requests by residents near service stations who cited problems of people using neighboring areas for rest - room facilities. He favors proceeding with the Ordinance and addressing the issue of allowing stations to be built without requiring restroom facilities. Discussion followed. It was moved by Councilman Barb, seconded by Councilwoman Boggs, and passed by the following vote to continue to the next regular meeting. Councilman Santangelo objected to the two-year amortization and suggested it be voted against and then go back and restudy the issue.
