Henry Engen,__Community Development.Director,.s.tated that the purpose of the meeting-was for the City.Council .to hear.an introductory presentation of the County Land Use Element.for the San.Luis Obispo Planning Area. He -then introduced Mr. Bryce Tingle and Ms. Jan Hubbel of.the County Planning Department who began the introduction to the County's.Land.Use Element of the San Luis Obispo Planning Area. They presented a.brief overview of the County Land Use-Element for the San Luis Obispo Planning Area. The County..staff.used.a large-scaled-map.-showing the various land .use.recommendations.for_.the. plan in_the area,.. around the City of San Luis Obispo and beyond the urban "reserve line. The County staff stated that the Land Use Element was only a part of the County's comprehensive plan which also included a Development Code which would replace the County's Zoning Ordinance. Programs and standards within each of the planning area reports would modify the Development Code requirements to meet the individual area needs. The County staff continued that the Land Use Element /Development Code (LUE /DC) Program.differed from the.conventional planning and zoning in.that counties usually prepared and adopted a General Plan separately from the zoning ordinance which thus failed to recognize long term planning goals. Because the LUE /DC was based on a single map, it would establish a system in which the General Plan must be implemented. The Land Use Element-would seek a balanced approach to management and development of the County's land resources. 'Part I of the report.provided an overview of the County's economic, social.and physical conditions.and established County -wide land development policies. Part II contained a detailed report for the San Luis Obispo Planning Area, one of the: County's 14 planning areas covering the entire County. The Development Code .replaced the present County's Zoning-Ordinance and would not include a zoning tap but would rely on.-the map of the planning areas to see land use restrictions: The Development Code.would.include performance standards to be applied County -wide in order to insure lot sizes with available services, suitability of site, etc. The completed Development.Code would consist of 10 separate chapters. The City Council then-reviewed aspects of:the preliminary.draft presented to the Council by the County planning staff for_.study.making minor statistical corrections found by-.the various Council members. The consideration of the San Luis Obispo Planning Area Land Use Plan was con- tinued to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 24, 1978. 2. The City Council then discussed the memorandum dated March 10, 1978 from Henry-Engen, Community Development Director, entitled "Current Major Development.Applications" including a list of-the location and the status of major development proposals currently being processed through the City Community Development Department. .Mr. Engen's memorandum continued that the Land Development Proposal.being requested and processed.by the department would have a bearing on the other workload of.his department including: 1) The Planning Division;:.2) Engineering Division; and-3) Building Inspection Division. The memorandum concluded - by.stating that now might be the time for the City of San Luis.Obispo's.City Council to-look-into some sort.of..growth.management policy or strategy for future development. The City Council.then..held a lengthy.discussion_with..staff and visitors on the needs.. or advisability. of. adopting some. type..of. growth . control- or growth management strategy for.guidance of staff and control. =of _.development within the city. The matter was continued to a Study Session on May 9, 1978. 3.

The commission originally recommended zoning properties along Johnson Avenue as PO and the rest of this area as R -2 (medium density residential).
