Dear Kate:
The Town of Tiburon is delighted and very grateful for the County's willingness
to partner with it to replace concrete medians with planted ones along a
significant stretch of Tiburon Boulevard. Thank you!
The County's generous contribution of $25,000 is a meaningful building block
for us in our effort to cobble together the means to bring about this change.
Preliminary engineering indicates the total job will cost roughly 5500,000 -
$600,000. The Town is prepared to pay a significant portion of this expense.
Our current * budget includes $65,000 to cover detailed design and engineering
specifications and obtain Caltrans' encroachment permits; our Town Council has
also identified an additional $235,000 for this purpose for consideration in its
next budget cycle for a total of $300,000. We need funding partners, though, to
cover the balance of the cost, and the County's contribution greatly helps us
achieve tbat goal.
The Town is reaching out to the City of Belvedere for assistance, for this is as
much an entryway for that community as for Tiburon, as well as our local
foundations and the nearby business community. We mean to get this done!
Thank you "gain for your willingness to support our effort. We greatly
appreciate it and your continued leadership for out County.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

August 14, 2013
Regular Meeting
Town of Tiburon Council Chambers
1505 Tiburon Boulevard, Tiburon, California
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL:
Vice Chair Weller called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
Present: Chair Weller, Commissioner Corcoran and Commissioner Kulik
Absent: Vice Chair Welner and Commissioner Tollini
Staff Present: Director of Community Development Anderson and Minutes Clerk Rusting
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: None
COMMISSION AND STAFF BRIEFING:
Chair Weller welcomed Commissioner Kulik to the Board and thanked him for his service.
Director Anderson stated that the November Council election filing period closed today and all
three incumbents have filed for re- election and Planning Commissioner Tollini was the only one
who applied for the two -year seat. He said that it appeared that there would be no election for
council members in Tiburon this November.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. 1704 TIBURON BOULEVARD: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ESTABLISH
A REAL ESTATE OFFICE IN' THE VC (VILLAGE COMMERCIAL ZONE);
FILE ##11304; K2 Properties, LLC, Owner; Decker Bullock Realty, Inc., Applicant;
Assessor's Parcel Number 059- 102 -17
Director Anderson stated that Decker Bullock Realty, Inc. has applied for a conditional use
permit to establish a real estate sales office in the Village Commercial zone at 1704 Tiburon
Boulevard. The applicant proposes to occupy 1,295 square feet of the existing ground floor
cormnercial space at the building located at 10 Main Street/1704 Tiburon Boulevard. This
portion of the building fronts Fountain Plaza, a primary public space in Downtown on a
prominent corner. The building space is triangular in shape and tapers as it approaches Juanita
Lane.
This would constitute relocation from an existing Tiburon Boulevard office location at 1620
Tiburon Boulevard, which is down the street. The building has been commonly known as the
Musso Building; where John Musso operated his bakery for many years. Since 1990, uses in the
triangular portion of the building facing Tiburon Boulevard have been a jewelry store, clothing
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES -AUGUST 14, 2013 MINUTES NO. 1035 PAGE 1
stores, and art galleries, and most recently a dry cleaner. In 2010, the Planning Cornmission
approved a conditional use permit for a wine tasting operation, but the use never commenced.
The dry cleaning operation moved in shortly thereafter.
Director Anderson said that the written staff report provided policies from the land use and
downtown elements of the General Plan that were relevant to this application. He noted that the
2005 General Plan, specifically Policy DT -16, discourages commercial uses for first story spaces
in portions of Downtown, and this space is a borderline case. In 2008 the Town amended its
zoning ordinance to implement Policy DT -16 regarding ground floor office uses to state they
were no longer pennitted at certain addresses without receiving an exception in conjunction with
a conditional use permit. He stated that urban designers and marketing experts have long
considered certain uses detrimental to downtowns and this is one type of use that is mentioned.
He said that over the past three years the Town has engaged in a robust revitalization effort of
downtown, and the Downtown Vibrancy Report makes several recornrnendations to revitalize
downtown and that the Marketing and Communications Task Force and Marketing Director are
continuing this effort.
With respect to zoning, he noted that the zoning ordinance lists several factors that should be
considered in reviewing conditional use permits. In conclusion, he stated that the issue was not
that the proposed use was incompatible with its surroundings or any type of nuisance, but rather
about the appropriateness of an office use for this particular location given the Town's goals and
policies regarding its downtown.
Cormliissioner Corcoran asked if the adoption of the 2008 General Plan policy included an
indication of the Council's intention regarding this building. Director Anderson said that that
policy was adopted in 2005 as part the General Plan and the zoning following in 2008. He
doubted that the General Plan policy discussion reached that level of specificity, but he noted
that there was a strong belief some of the ground floor office uses along Main Street had created
"dead spaces ", and that the practice of allowing ground floor office space on Main Street should
be discouraged.
Chair Weller asked if Director Anderson about the "exception" findings required for allowing
ground floor office uses in the discouraged areas. Director Anderson read from the zoning
ordinance as follows:
"An exception to allow street - fronting ground -floor office use otherwise prohibited by
section 16- 22.030 provided that a conditional use permit is secured and one or more of
the following findings are made: a) The space proposed for the office use is not
physically suitable for retail, restaurant, or personal service use, or b) The applicant has
provided substantial and compelling evidence that retail, restaurant, or personal service
use is not economically viable in the proposed location."
Commissioner Kulik asked if it is known why there was so much turnover in this location.
Director Anderson said that he could not speak to that issue.
Heidi Pay, representing Decker Bullock Realty, said that they looked at this property because
they perceive it as a good location and they perceive themselves as providing vibrancy to
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - AUGUST I4, 2013 MINUTES NO. 1035 PAGE 2
downtown. She said that they are very stable and have an internationally recognized luxury
brand that enhances the destination. She noted that the property has an address on Tiburon
Boulevard and is therefore exempt from requiring an exception. She said that they represent a
significant number of local homeowners on the peninsula and anticipate bringing many local
residents to downtown. She said that they did not feel that it would be perceived as a dead zone.
She stated that they plan to add something that would not have the look and feel of a traditional
office space, and they plan to provide an inviting atmosphere and location for people to come in
and peruse the properties for sale in Tiburon. She said that visitors could find out more about the
community, the benefits of living in Tiburon, and the community than they could from retail
staff. She stated that they are a long tenn business with a very stable income and they have an
office two blocks from the proposed location, so this would simply reflect a move for them. She
said that the use would not add traffic or have any negative impact to the community. She stated
that it is critical to maintain a level of consistency downtown, and it would help the shopkeepers
rather than having continuous turnover and vacancies. She stated that many businesses in this
location in the past have not been successful and that there was hardly any other business that
could configure itself well to the triangular shape of the building.
Chair Weller opened the public hearing.
Tom Gram said that Tiburon made some poor planning decisions in the 198O's when it allowed
39 Main Street to become offices and the old bank building at 55 Main Street to become a law
office. These have created dead spaces. He said that people stop when they reach those locations
and never make it to Ark Row.
He emphasized that Fountain Plaza has become the most prominent spot in downtown over the
last several years, and an office use is not needed in this location. He said that he has experience
in retail development and the planning rule is to never allow ground floor office in retail
streetscape to avoid dead zones. He pointed out that this is clearly discussed in the General Plan.
He said that another real estate company recently applied for a location on Main Street, and he
discouraged them from pursuing their application for the same reasons, and they ended up not
pursuing it. He aclaiowledged that this space is difficult but added that the high rent is an owner
problem and not a Town problem.
Commissioner Kulik asked Mr. Gram if he believed the General Plan and zoning had intended to
include this space as discouraging ground floor offices. Mr. Gram responded that Fountain Plaza
was just getting going and it was not a major part of planning until later. He noted that the Town
and donors put up over $500,000 to re -do Fountain Plaza and it was not a major area of
concentration at the time, but once the fountain was constructed it became the center of town. He
said that this building is a dead space on Fountain Plaza and he thought that the cleaners were a
dead space as well. He said that it is not the Town's responsibility to deal with the economics of
a particular space.
Commissioner Kulik asked Mr. Grain if he considered Fountain Plaza to be part of Main Street.
Mr. Gram answered that when the plaza opened and was finished it became the center of town; it
is where people come off the ferry, and another office space is not needed in the area.
Colin Probert said that he and his wife have lived in Tiburon for 25 years and he is a member of
the Marketing and Communications committee for the Town. He said that he was arguing
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - AUGUST 14, 2013 MINUTES NO. 1035 PAGE 3
against the location of the real estate office in this building. He said that in recent years the
downtown has really struggled and stores have had a hard time staying open. He said that the
merchants who have invested in their stores have been struggling for a long time before they go
out of business. He stated that the Town has been working to bring more business downtown and
he believed that the Town should attempt to make that corner an exciting and vibrant location.
He said that he has learned that the most important ingredient in a successful business is the
product itself. He said that more people need to be brought in and therefore the experience of
downtown needs to be better, and a stronger mix of stores and cafes are needed in downtown
Tiburon if they want more people to come. He said that this building is the first building one sees
when exiting the ferry and is therefore the first impression of what the town is like. He suggested
that a fun, energetic, and inviting tenant. should go in that location rather than dead office space.
He said that he was not exaggerating the importance of one retailer in the right location and
pointed out the success of Peet's Coffee in the Cove Shopping Center. He stated that the right
business in a particular space really determines the feel of the space, and he felt that this was a
pivotal moment for downtown Tiburon. He stated that the Commission should be supporting a
vibrant downtown economy.
Patrick Sherwood said that the real estate business and its offices are not known for vibrancy. He
said that in an effort to bring energy and experiential vitality to downtown, this decision [by the
Planing Commission] was critical because this location is "center stage" in downtown Tiburon.
He said that this is the building that is seen immediately when coming off the ferry and the
fountain was put in that location because it is the center of the town. He said that his hope was to
bring more traffic and experiential vitality to downtown, and therefore a business that involves
human energy is needed. He said that more people and public art and new business are beginning
to come to downtown, and he believed that it is very possible to creatively bring vitality to the
area, and that is an important part of why he lives in Tiburon.
Michael Koskie said that he is a member of the Marketing and Communications committee and
he occupied space in the building for six years. His offices were upstairs, and when he wanted to
expand to the downstairs, he was discouraged by the Town and instead created an art gallery on
the ground level. He said that the turnover of that space is landlord - related and the landlord is
very difficult to deal with.
Todd Garrett said that he is also a member of the Marketing and Communications conunittee. He
said that they have worked for over two years to provide a unique vision and position for
Tiburon to bring people downtown. He said that when people come to Tiburon they are channed,
noting that the reaction of concierges they have brought to Tiburon has been very positive, and
they are organizing trips to Main Street. He felt that it would be a huge mistake to make this
space at the center of town a real estate office. He said that the use should be something that is
fun to visit, or a fine dining experience, and fulfill the need of the town to provide a vibrant
experience for people who visit Tiburon. He said that filling that space with a real estate broker
would not be enticing and would not make this look like a unique place to visit.
Janice Anderson -Gram pointed out that there are five real estate offices in the area already. She
agreed with Mr. Garrett that it would be wonderful if this location was a lively and vibrant space.
She felt that this was really not a hard choice [for the Planning Commission] because an office
will not provide a lively, exciting space. She said that there would be times when there is no one
in the office on weekdays and particularly on the weekends. She said that the committee wants
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - AUGUST 14, 2013 MINUTES NO. 1035 PAGE 4
this space to be inviting, especially on weekends when people are visiting Tiburon. She said that
the Planning Conzunission should not allow this prime and very visible ground floor space to
become another office. She said that there is not a real need for this use in this location given that
there are five real estate offices already in the area.
Jan Harder, representing ACV Argo Tiburon, which owns several properties in the downtown,
said that her company recommends retail uses on the ground floor and office uses on second
stories. She pointed out that her own company has office space on second floors and they have
refused real estate office offers on the ground floor because of the concerns brought up at
tonialit's meeting. She said that tenants in the area need the cross - traffic that retailers bring into
downtown. She said that office users take up parking for retail users, and office users often park
in those areas for hours. She said that those parking spaces should be available for people who
want to spend time in the retail shops. She said that office uses downtown are difficult because of
that lack of parking. She encouraged keeping retail uses on the ground floor and offices uses on
the second floor.
Olivia Decker, Decker Bullock Realty, said that she has lived in Tiburon since 1976 and they
have two offices on Tiburon Boulevard right now. She said that they bring people to town to buy
homes to live in Tiburon and the better downtown they have, the better for her own business, so
they therefore have the same goals. She said that the reason they want to move to this location is
because it is a better location near the fountain. She said that she wants clients to come in and see
them and she suggested setting up tables in front of the office and serving coffee or wine. She
said that they have been in their current location since 1988 and have a stable business and they
want downtown to be wonderful and improve the value of homes in Tiburon. She said that the
town needs vibrancy and she questioned why Tiburon is not as vibrant as other beautiful
locations in the world. She said that they want more people to come into the office and this
would function like a retail use. She said that they would be working in that office and they plan
to host evening gatherings to bring in clients.
Vesa Becam, property listing agent with Keegan & Coppin Realty, said that she understood the
notion of keeping retail on the ground floor on Main Street, but she pointed out that the property
is not on Main Street and has an address on Tiburon Boulevard. She said that this location has
always been a problem because it is long and pie shaped. She said that this space has no room for
a trash enclosure, needs a second ADA restroom, and lacks an adequate sewer drain, all of which
combine to make it nearly impossible to put in a restaurant. She said that a winery tasting room
or cafe would not be economically feasible in that location. She said that these businesses are
seasonal and people cannot be forced to shop during the off - season.
Cindy Shelton, agent with Decker Bullock, said that she works with Olivia Decker. She said that
she has heard the concerns about the dead space in downtown and believed that the real estate
office would liven up that corner of downtown Tiburon. She noted that most of their offices do
not look like office space but are very beautifully decorated with antiques. She said that she has
watched people come by and stare in the windows of the real estate office to view their display
of flyers, and she felt that there would be a lot of traffic if Decker Bullock was situated in the
proposed location. She said that they could be a part of the growth and vibrancy and would help
get more people downtown to the area. She said that they would give the space class and appeal,
and their office front really engages people.
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - AUGUST 14, 2013 MINUTES NO. 1035 PAGE 5
Bill Bullock thanked everyone for their comments. He asked the Commission to consider that
this is currently a vacant space and there is no other interest in that space and it is not an easy
space to lease. He said that Decker Bullock has over 20,000 square feet of space in Malin
County and they have not ever missed a rent payment in 22 years. He said that if they lease this
space, despite the perception, the use would not diminish the vibrancy of downtown and the
space would not be filled for a very long time.
Sylvie Zolezzi, agent with Decker Bullock, said that a real estate office is not a dead zone. She
said that they provide water and cookies for dogs, candy for kids, and people would come in and
interact, and they attracted a lot of people. She said that her office had a lot of coimnunity events
and was a very vibrant space.
Chair Weller closed the public hearing
Commissioner Corcoran asked why the clothing dry cleaners were previously in that space
without Commission review. Director Anderson said that a determination was made at that time
that the use was similar enough to the prior clothing store. He noted that the wine bar and office
uses were substantially different in nature.
Commissioner Corcoran thanked Decker Bullock for their contributions to the community and
said that this was not a referendum on Decker Bullock. He said that the Planning Commission's
decision - making authority binds them to the provisions of the General Plan, and their
determination must be whether the use is in compliance with the intentions of the General Plan.
He said that the General Plan demonstrates that it is not the intention to have an office space in
this particular location. He acknowledged that this is an unusual spot, but he said that the intent
of the Council was that this location be considered part of Main Street. He stated that the
fountain did not exist in 2005, but if it did this space would have been included in the area that
should not allow commercial office use. He agreed with Mr. Grain that the old bank building has
created dead space and that Peet's Coffee was a good example of the impact a business can have
on the vibrancy of an area. He said that the Planning Commission canriot comment on whether or
not it is a good economic decision.
Commissioner Kulik thanked Decker Bullock and noted that a lot of good points were made. He
said that a tremendous amount of capital was spent by a donor to improve the Fountain Plaza
area in 2008 and it is an essential gathering area in downtown Tiburon. He agreed with
Conunissioner Corcoran that it would have been included as part of Main Street if the fountain
existed in 2005. He felt that having an office space that is closed 18 hours a day when they are
trying to increase the vibrancy of downtown did not resonate with him. He said that Town
policies and regulations were trying to discourage ground floor office use and encourage vitality.
Chair Weller agreed with the other Commissioners. He said that Decker Bullock has brought
great value to the community and he noted that this was not about the company but rather about
the appropriateness of office use in that location. He agreed that this particular location should be
included in the Main Street area because it is incorporated in the central public space of the
downtown. He said that when the Town Council adopted the zoning ordinance it was reasonable
to state that if it can be proven that no other possible use of the space is feasible, then an office
use could be considered. He did not think that contention had been proven and he said that he
would need to see studies or additional evidence to be convinced. He said that the landlord was
TIBURON' PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - AUGUST 14, 2013 MINUTES NO. 1035 PAGE 6
perhaps going to have to spend the money to upgrade the space if he wants to gain a retail tenant;
which is what is encouraged by the Town's General Plan.
