HomeMy WebLinkAbout10-15-2013 ph1 luce update FROM: Derek Johnson, Community Development Director Daryl, Grigsby, Public Works Director Prepared By: Kim Murry, Deputy Director, Community Development Peggy Mandeville, Principal Transportation Planner SUBJECT: LAND USE AND CIRCULATION ELEMENTS UPDATE – PHYSICAL ALTERNATIVES (GPI/ER 15-12). RECOMMENDATION As recommended by the Planning Commission and the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements update (TF-LUCE) endorse the physical alternatives presented for further evaluation through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). DISCUSSION Background The Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) update process is being funded through an $880,000 Strategic Growth Council Grant. When the City Council approved the application for the grant and the subsequent consultant contract, the Council augmented the defined scope of work with direction to staff to approach the LUCE update as a focused one. Council’s direction was to address community issues but to not significantly alter the policy direction that is based on values that were reaffirmed in the Council’s continuation of the current goals as the filter for proposing any changes. The Council’s statements reflected that many of the factors making our city the happiest in North America are incorporated in our present Land Use Element which serves our city well by protecting our quality of life and fiscal sustainability.1 To date, the Land Use and Circulation Element Update (LUCE) process has been focused on garnering input from the community regarding issues, opportunities and vision for the future of the City. Information provided through the community survey, workshops, open houses, advisory bodies and ideas offered on-line were used by the consultant team, staff, the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Element update (TF-LUCE), and the Planning Commission to identify areas of potential physical change in the upcoming 20 years. This information will also inform the policy review and development phase of the update. Tonight’s discussion with the Council focuses on identifying the potential physical changes to further evaluate through the environmental review process. The sites for both land use changes and circulation connections were plotted and considered at a workshop held on June 1st (Attachment 6: Workshop summary). Subsequent to the workshop, the TF-LUCE considered input on the physical alternatives to be further evaluated as part of the LUCE update from the workshop, information from the community survey, testimony from attendees, and 1 Mayor Marx memo to Council, item B-1, and minutes January 17, 2012 (Attachments 1 and 2) Meeting Date Item Number 10-15-2013 PH 1 PH1 - 1 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 2 input from residents and other stakeholders garnered through MindMixer (an online public input tool) and other sources on June 27th, July 1st and July 9th (Attachments 7-9: TF-LUCE minutes. The Planning Commission further reviewed the Task Force recommendations on July 24th and August 14th (Attachments 10-11: Planning Commission minutes) and confirmed or slightly amended the options to be forwarded for further evaluation. The Planning Commission’s recommended alternatives will be presented to the Council along with basic information regarding the fiscal balance of land uses for consideration and identification of a “preferred alternative” set. Attachments 1 and 2 provide a summary of the recommendations of physical alternatives from the Planning Commission along with notations of how those recommendations correspond to the TF-LUCE recommendations. The final package of alternatives identified by Council will be fully evaluated along with proposed policy changes currently under development through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Council is scheduled to review proposed policy changes in early 2014. The current discussion is focused on alternatives for physical change. The TF-LUCE recently began their evaluation of existing policies with review of a legislative draft of the Circulation Element. This review is expected to occur through late fall. The Council is being asked to review the TF- LUCE and Planning Commission recommendations for physical alternatives and to confirm or amend those alternatives as the “preferred alternative” set to be evaluated through the EIR process. Alternatives The Planning Commission reviewed Task Force recommendations and confirmed potential land use changes and areas where circulation changes might be appropriate. Attachments 3 and 4 provide a summary of Task Force and Planning Commission determinations on the alternatives. The community was presented with 19 land use alternatives and 19 circulation alternatives at a workshop held on June 1st. Of the 19 land use alternatives, the Council took separate action on the South Broad Street Corridor Plan area on September 17, 2013 to include the draft plan as part of the alternatives to consider through the EIR process. Attachment #6 provides a summary of the workshop input considered by both the TF-LUCE and the Planning Commission. In addition to the June 1st workshop input, both the Task Force and Planning Commission evaluated the alternatives in light of input from previous workshops, the community wide survey, the Land Use and Circulation elements goals, and input from open houses and on-line survey tools. Staff will be describing the alternatives in greater detail as part of the staff presentation and will also present high-level fiscal and circulation information. Property owners of four of the properties under consideration have submitted letters for the Council to consider as part of identifying physical alternatives (Attachments 12-14). The following summarizes the input from these four property owners: • The San Luis Coastal Unified School District has asked that the Old Pacheco School site be eliminated from consideration until the District has determined it should be converted to another use. PH1 - 2 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 3 • The San Luis Coastal Unified School District has also requested that the Council consider Commercial Retail uses for the Pacific Beach site rather than the Mixed Use and park uses suggested by the Planning Commission. • KFK Family Trust, the owner of property along both sides of Los Osos Valley Road near Hwy 101, has indicated support for the property being designated to support Medium High Density Residential. • The owner of the property at Foothill and Santa Rosa, University Square LLC, provided a letter that indicates a desire to develop according to the current zoning and anticipates submitting an application within the upcoming months. Staff will be prepared to respond to each in the context of the presentation of alternatives at the hearing. Update Process The physical alternatives comprise one part of the update and reflect areas where changes in land use designations or intensity or type of development may occur over the upcoming 20 years. The physical alternatives also reflect where circulation connections should change or where the nature of the type of connection is changing. Once the Council has determined the set of physical alternatives that should be forwarded for consideration as part of the process, this set becomes the “preferred alternative” and is used as part of the project description for purposes of environmental review. The Council’s approval of the resolution does not approve the alternatives, the action provides that more analysis (i.e. fiscal and environmental, etc) is needed in order to make any final determinations. Since Council identified the update to the General Plan as a focused one – intended to address infill opportunities, changes in legislation, and the need to refresh existing policy direction to reflect current values – many of the areas of physical change will not result in dramatic differences in the City’s form. However there are several areas where more significant changes are anticipated, primarily Dalidio, Avila Ranch, and the Madonna properties. These areas have been identified by the Planning Commission (supported by recommendations from the TF-LUCE) as ones that are appropriate for more detailed policy development to guide the future development of the areas based on their location and constraints. The Land Use and Circulation elements will include proposed physical alternatives and proposed policy changes to form the project description that will be reviewed through an Environmental Impact Report. The graphic below shows the milestones completed to date and the process moving forward. Endorsing a set of physical alternatives for further review is a key objective to complete in the update process. PH1 - 3 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 4 Staff recommends the Council consider public input and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements update (TF-LUCE) and endorse the physical alternatives proposed as the preferred alternative set to be further evaluated through an Environmental Impact Report. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental review will occur once a project description has been developed. The project description will include a combination of proposed physical changes and proposed policy changes associated with the LUCE update. FISCAL IMPACT The Land Use and Circulation Elements update have been funded in part by a grant from the Strategic Growth Council ($880,000) and in part through General Funds ($430,000) as part of the 2011-13 Financial Plan. Activities to date have been fully covered by these encumbered funds and progress on the update is within budget and on-time. Fiscal impacts of any changes proposed to land use or infrastructure will be evaluated as part of the update process so that the City’s General Plan is one that is fiscally balanced. PH1 - 4 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 5 ALTERNATIVES 1. The Council could identify additional alternatives for consideration or could modify or alter alternatives recommended by the Planning Commission. Specific direction to staff would be required. 2. The Council could continue the item so that additional information could be provided. If this option is chosen, specific direction to staff would be needed and Council may need to identify a special meeting in order to maintain timely progress on the update project. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Council ha s repeatedly stated that the process is to be resident-centered . Making it so, startin g tonight, will allow the LUCE Update to be truly owned and affirmed by residents . It also will allow the process to proceed in an orderly, timely manner . A . Land Use and Circulation Elements UpdateTask Force 1. It should be called the Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) Task Force . (Using a different title is confusing). 2. The Task Force should consist of residents of the City of San Luis Obispo in al l categories . If a given stakeholder group does not have any city residents willing to serve , then it can just submit comments and testify . 3. Members should also be volunteers, not paid advocates . Selection should reflec t geographical distribution of residents, living throughout the city . 4. All residents should receive information about how to participate at the ver y beginning of the process, possibly as a hand out in the utility bills . 5. Selection of members should not be delegated to organizations, but should b e done by council . Council should take open applications, like the advisory bod y applications, including resumes . 6. It should have equal representation from the environment, neighborhood an d business communities . It should be chaired by a Planning Commissioner . 7. There is no reason to limit membership to 13 . The City Manager's Economi c Sustainability group had nearly 30 people on it and worked well . Other cities hav e varying numbers of participants . 8. In any category, overlapping experience--such as in land use and planning, th e law, advisory groups, local history, real estate, social services, education, the economy , technology, natural resources, conservation, healthy communities, agriculture , transportation, recreation, the arts or non-profit organizations and other relevant expertise—should be considered a "plus" in selection of members . It is not needed t o have a person representing Cal Poly (a state agency), or any other state agency on th e Task Force, but a resident who works at a state agency could have special insight whic h could be useful . PH1 - 6 9. Subcommittees of like expertise could caucus and do outreach at their discretion , and then present comments to whole task force . 10. The task force should proceed by vote (recorded) not by forced consensus, with minority reports possible, if need be . Conflicting points of view from various interes t groups need to be surfaced, not buried, so that Council has comprehensive information before it when making the final decisions . B . Land Use and Circulation Elements UpdateProcess . 1. This is a focused update . We do not need to fix what is not broken . The updat e needs to address actual problems . Many of the factors making our city the happiest i n North America are incorporated in our present LUE . It serves our city well by protectin g our quality of life and fiscal sustainability . 2. The process should begin with workshops in the neighborhoods, occurring during the same time that the new questionnaire is in the hands of residents . It should be i n writing and should be based on the 1988 questionnaire, with additional updated question s if need be . Workshops and questionnaires input should take place before the LUC E Taskforce is formed or meets . 3. Council members should read the elements and give input to staff regarding wha t does and does not need changing. Staff should identify what language it thinks needs t o be updated, with documentation of said need . 4. Review of the Elements should be recognizably based on the present document , keeping the same numbering whenever possible . It should proceed in an orderly, sectio n by section, line by line, basis, so that everyone is given adequate notice of exactly wha t language will be considered and when . Everyone needs to know at every stage exactly what language is being proposed for deletion (strike out), or addition (underlined), and by whom . 5. Once the decisions about any proposed language changes in a given section ar e made by Council, there should be no going back and reconsidering said changes . 6. Definitions of terms should be consistent with the present LUCE and an y proposed changes should be treated as any other proposed language changes in publi c hearings .

In this context, they are meant to express the community's preferences for basic future directions. In the goal statements, "San Luis Obispo" means the community as a whole, not just the City as a municipal corporation. The statements also indicate what the City should do and what it should influence others to do. The goals state San Luis Obispo's basic positions on the extent, rate, composition, and financing of growth. The following Growth Management section includes policies and programs which offer more specific guidance on these topics. Later sections, dealing with parts of the City and with land-use categories, give more detailed direction on preserving neighborhoods and designing new development. Approach to Planning San Luis Obispo should: 1. Choose its future, rather than let it happen. San Luis Obispo should be proactive in implementing its vision of the future, and should work with other agencies and institutions to create our desired mutual future. Environment San Luis Obispo should: 2. Protect and enhance the natural environment, including the quality of air, water, soil, and open space. 3. Protect, sustain, and where it has been degraded, enhance wildlife habitat on land surrounding the city, at Laguna Lake, along creeks and other wetlands, and on open hills and ridges within the city, so that diverse, native plants, fish, and animals can continue to live within the area. 4. Protect public views of the surrounding hills and mountains. 5. Recognize the importance of farming to the economy of the planning area and the county, protect agriculture from development and from incompatible uses, and protect remaining undeveloped prime agricultural soils. 6. Protect and restore natural landforms and features in and near the city, such as the volcanic morros, hillsides, marshes, and creeks. 7. Foster appreciation among citizens of the complex abundance of the planning area's environment, and of the need to respect natural systems. 8. Identify, map and monitor our community's natural assets to preserve and protect them. Society and Economy San Luis Obispo should be a well balanced community. Environmental, social, and economic factors must be taken into account in important decisions about San Luis Obispo's future. A healthy economy depends on a healthy environment. The social fabric of the community for both residents and visitors must also be a part of that balance. Therefore, complementary to the goals and objectives of this element, the City shall maintain and bi-annually review goals and objectives that promote the economic well being of the community. San Luis Obispo should: 9. Provide employment opportunities appropriate for area residents' desires and skills. PH1 - 19 Land Use THE GENERAL PLAN 1-15 10. Provide goods and services which substantial numbers of area residents leave the area regularly to obtain, provided doing so is consistent with other goals. 11. Retain existing businesses and agencies, and accommodate expansion of existing businesses, consistent with other goals. 12. Emphasize more productive use of existing commercial buildings and land areas already committed to urban development. 13. Provide an adequate revenue base for local government and public schools. 14. Provide high quality public services, ensuring that demands do not exceed resources and that adequate facilities and services can be provided in pace with development. 15. Cooperate with other agencies in the county to assure that increases in the numbers of workers and college and university students in the San Luis Obispo area do not outpace housing availability. 16. Accommodate residents within all income groups. 17. Preserve existing housing which is affordable to residents with very low, low, and moderate incomes. 18. Actively seek ways to provide housing which is affordable to residents with very low, low, and moderate incomes, within existing neighborhoods and within expansion areas. 19. Encourage opportunities for elder care and child care within the city. 20. Enrich community cultural and social life by accommodating people with various backgrounds, talents, occupations, and interests. 21. Provide a resilient economic base, able to tolerate changes in its parts without causing overall harm to the community. 22. Have developments bear the costs of resources and services needed to serve them, except where the community deliberately chooses to help pay in order to achieve other community goals. 23. Provide for high quality education and access to related services such as museums, art galleries, public art, and libraries. 24. Serve as the county's hub for: county and state government; education; transportation; visitor information; entertainment; cultural, professional, medical, and social services; community organizations; retail trade. 25. Provide a wide range of parks and sports and recreational facilities for the enjoyment of our citizens. 26. Retain accessible, responsive, and capable local government. 27. Ensure that residents' opportunities for direct participation in City government and their sense of community can continue. City Form San Luis Obispo should: 28. Maintain the town's character as a small, safe, comfortable place to live, and maintain its rural setting, with extensive open land separating it from other urban development. 29. Maintain existing neighborhoods and assure that new development occurs as part of a neighborhood pattern. 30. Keep a clear boundary between San Luis Obispo's urban development and surrounding open land. 31. Grow gradually outward from its historic center until its ultimate boundaries are reached, maintaining a compact urban form. PH1 - 20 Land Use THE GENERAL PLAN 1-16 32. Foster an awareness of past residents and ways of life, and preserve our heritage of historic buildings and places. 33. Develop buildings and facilities which will contribute to our sense of place and architectural heritage. 34. Develop buildings and places which complement the natural landscape and the fabric of neighborhoods. 35. Focus its government and cultural facilities and provide a variety of business services and housing in the downtown. 36. Provide a safe and pleasant place to walk and ride a bicycle, for recreation and other daily activities. 37. Be a safe place to live. PH1 - 21 Circulation THE GENERAL PLAN 2-8 1.5 Goals and objectives Goals and objectives describe desirable conditions. In this context, they are meant to express the community's preferences for current and future conditions and directions. In the following statements, San Luis Obispo means the community as a whole, not just the city as a municipal corporation. Transportation Goals 1. Maintain accessibility and protect the environment throughout San Luis Obispo while reducing dependence on single-occupant use of motor vehicles, with the goal of achieving State and Federal health standards for air quality. 2. Reduce people's use of their cars by supporting and promoting alternatives such as walking, riding buses and bicycles, and using car pools. 3. Provide a system of streets that are well-maintained and safe for all forms of transportation. 4. Widen and extend streets only when there is a demonstrated need and when the projects will cause no significant, long-term environmental problems. 5. Make the downtown more functional and enjoyable for pedestrians. 6. Promote the safe operation of all modes of transportation. 7. Coordinate the planning of transportation with other affected agencies such as San Luis Obispo County, Cal Trans, and Cal Poly. 8. Reduce the need for travel by private vehicle through land use strategies, telecommuting and compact work weeks. Overall Transportation Strategy Meet the transportation needs of current and planned-for population by: 1. Managing city and regional growth consistent with the Land Use Element; 2. Funding alternative forms of transportation; 3. Sponsoring traffic reduction activities; 4. Providing the infrastructure needed to accommodate the desired shift in transportation modes; 5. Focusing traffic on Arterial Streets and Regional Routes and Highways; 6. Accepting some additional traffic on Arterial Streets and Regional Routes and Highways; 7. Providing facilities that improve transportation safety. Transportation Objectives 1.6 Encourage Better Transportation Habits San Luis Obispo should: 1.Increase the use of alternative forms of transportation (as shown on Figure #1) and depend less on the single-occupant use of vehicles. 2.Ask the San Luis Obispo Regional Transportation Agency to establish an objective similar to #1 and support programs that reduce the interregional use of single- occupant vehicles and increase the use of alternative forms of transportation. 1.7 Promote Alternative Forms of Transportation San Luis Obispo should: 1.Complete a network of bicycle lanes and paths, sidewalks and pedestrian paths within existing developed parts of the city by 2000, and extend the system to serve new growth areas. 2.Complete improvements to the city's transit system serving existing developed areas by 2000, and provide service to new growth areas. PH1 - 22 Circulation THE GENERAL PLAN 2-9 3.Support the efforts of the County Air Pollution Control District to implement traffic reduction programs. 4. Support and develop education programs directed at promoting types of transportation other than the single-occupant vehicle. 1.8 Manage Traffic San Luis Obispo should: 1. Limit traffic increases by managing population growth and economic development to the rates and levels stipulated by the Land Use Element and implementing regulations. Limit increases in ADT and VMT to the increase in employment within the City's Urban Reserve. 2. Support county-wide programs that manage population growth to minimize county- wide travel demand. 3. Support county-wide programs that support modal shift while utilizing our existing road system and reducing air pollution and traffic congestion. 4. Provide a system of streets that allow safe travel and alternate modes of transportation throughout the city and connect with Regional Routes and Highways. 5. Manage the use of Arterial Streets, Regional Routes and Highways so that traffic levels during peak traffic periods do not result in extreme congestion, increased headways for transit vehicles, or unsafe conditions for pedestrians or bicyclists. 6. Ensure that development projects and subdivisions are designed and/or retrofitted to be efficiently served by buses, bike routes and pedestrian connections. 7. Consistent with the Land Use Element, allow neighborhood-serving business and provide parks and recreational areas that can be conveniently reached by pedestrians or bicyclists. 8. Protect the quality of residential areas by achieving quiet and by reducing or controlling traffic routing, volumes, and speeds on neighborhood streets. 9. Coordinate the management of San Luis Obispo County Airport and the planning of land uses around the airport to avoid noise and safety problems. 1.9 Support Environmentally Sound Technological Advancement San Luis Obispo should: 1. Promote the use of quiet, fuel-efficient vehicles that produce minimum amounts of air pollution. A. The City will continue to support the use and development of compressed natural gas fueling stations in the San Luis Obispo area. B. When replacing any City vehicle or expanding the City's vehicle fleet, the City will consider purchasing alternative fuel vehicles that reduce air pollution. C. The City encourages the use of alternative fuels on a regional basis. 2.

Dave Juhnke, Chris Richardson, Rob Rossi, Sandra Rowley, Carla Saunders, Sharon Whitney, Chuck Crotser (arrived at 6:55 pm), Vice- Chairperson Pierre Rademaker, and Chairperson Eric Meyer Absent: Task Force Member Matt Quaglino Staff: Community Development Director Derek Johnson, Deputy Director of Community Development Kim Murry, Associate Planner James David, Principal Transportation Planner Peggy Mandeville, and Recording Secretary Dawn Rudder ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGENDA: The agenda was accepted as amended. MINUTES: Minutes of May 14, 2013, were approved as presented. Minutes of June 19, 2013, were approved as presented. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Jeffrey Specht, San Luis Obispo, voiced that the illegal lodging tickets he has been receiving constitute harassment and unnecessary ticketing on the City’s part. He asked the Committee’s help in talking to anyone they can regarding this issue. Dave Kuykendall, San Luis Obispo, indicated that the LUCE workshops were excellent. He expressed that traffic calming in neighborhood is desirable but is concerned with the circulation concerning Johnson, Marsh, and Higuera Streets. He urged the Committee to discourage cut-through traffic in residential areas and direct traffic to the arterial streets. Chris Hoover, San Luis Obispo, opposes Buchon as a one-way street and is also concerned that traffic should be routed to the arterial streets. Bill Casella, San Luis Obispo, offered that speed bumps are not effective and urged the Committee to come up with a better circulation plan utilizing Marsh and Higuera Streets so traffic will be routed off of Buchon Street. There were no further comments made from the public. PH1 - 136 TF-LUCE Minutes June 27, 2013 Page 2 Kim Murry, Deputy Director of Community Development, presented the question of whether the Task Force wishes to request the Council appoint additional members to replace the three members who have resigned. Task Force members discussed the TF-LUCE guidelines which call for an odd number of members and also expressed concerns that it would be difficult for a new member to understand the input and discussions that have occurred over the last year. Chairperson Meyer voiced support of adding a young voice to the group. The Task Force consensus was to support the existing size of the Task Force and not to request Council appoint additional members at this time. DISCUSSION ITEMS: CIRCULATION ALTERNATIVE Chairperson Meyer requests the Task Force consider a request to consider circulation item #5 ahead of other items in response to an attendee’s request. 5. Higuera and Marsh Street Peggy Mandeville, Transportation Planner, pointed out that residents have voiced concerns that Buchon not be converted to a one-way street. Being able to evaluate option of two way traffic will be important to understand how this affects overall circulation in this area. Task Force Members discussed intent of two-way access on Marsh and Higuera between Santa Rosa and Johnson and whether this would address traffic on residential streets. Task Force member Saunders expressed concern that Buchon residents were not individually notified of potential circulation changes. Peggy Mandeville offered that the neighborhood traffic efforts have involved the neighborhood prior to this effort. On motion by Task Force Member Pierre Rademaker, seconded by Walt Bremer, to forward an alternative of circulation option 5-3 of the Higuera/Marsh St. proposal. AYES: Task Force Members Bremer, Brown, Dandekar, Goetz, Juhnke, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, Rademaker and Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Task Force Member Rossi ABSENT: Task Force Members Quaglino and Crotser The motion passed on a 12:0 vote. Public Comments: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, urged the committee to review student proposals that locate the transit center at the Shell Station property located on Higuera/Monterey and PH1 - 137 TF-LUCE Minutes June 27, 2013 Page 3 Santa Rosa. This site can bring everything together in a better vision for the future that focuses more on pedestrians and bicycles. DISCUSSION ITEMS Workshop Feedback: Kim Murry described insights from the workshop offered to staff and asked for observations from the Task Force not noted in the agenda packet. Task Force member Saunders expressed concerns regarding workshop attendees and their lack of information given to them about proposed alternatives due to poster size limitations.. In addition, committee member Saunders offered that the number of Future Fair 2 workshop attendees did not reflect the same degree of participation as the 2012 LUCE Community Survey’s 2,200 household and business owner responses. LAND USE ALTERNATIVES Kim Murry presented a summary of the information provided to the Task Force and their role in evaluating the input and alternatives. The desired outcome will be to identify which alternatives should proceed for further evaluation. Committee Comments: Task Force member Carla Saunders was very uncomfortable with the Alternatives Newsletter and its failure to note the 2,200 responses to the LUCE Community Survey or the existing LUCE goals as screening criteria that will be used by City Staff and the Consultant Team in their comprehensive evaluation of the existing LUE and Circulation element goals, policies, and implementation programs. She noted that the policy evaluation considerations listed in the newsletter include extraordinarily broad items such as “consistency with SLOCOG efforts” and “Sustainable Communities grant- related items.” Chairperson Meyer indicated that alternatives being discussed will eventually fit together but that there are other policies that will need to be folded in such as the Climate Action Plan and other plans. Identify the overarching goal for the future vision. Derek Johnson indicated that the goals and vision were identified earlier in the process and this is what is being used to direct the effort. However, if other bigger visions are missing, this is the time to identify them. Sandra Rowley is not comfortable with the update being consistent with a regional vision such as SLOCOG versus what the residents of the city want to see occur. Task force Member Chuck Crotser arrived at 6:55 p.m. Derek Johnson, Community Development Director, indicated that staff and the consultant team will follow the direction of the Task Force that was confirmed by both the Planning Commission and Council; namely that the existing LUCE goals will be used to evaluate amendments to the general plan. He further noted that the newsletter PH1 - 138 TF-LUCE Minutes June 27, 2013 Page 4 is not a policy document and it will not be adopted. Mr. Johnson urged the Task Force to use all of the input received, including the survey and workshop input when evaluating alternatives. Task Force Member Saunders continued to express concerns with the alternatives newsletter. Task Force Member Rowley asked if Task Force could be provided with the list of what would be used to evaluate the amendments. Community Development Director Johnson indicated that the Task Force, Planning Commission and Council directed staff to use the existing Land Use and Circulation Element goals as screening criteria and those have been provided to the Task Force. Task Force members requested information for how student projects are incorporated into the review process and whether staff those ideas were reviewed when considering alternatives. Peggy Mandeville indicated that many of the student and community efforts have been provided to the consultant team. Chair Meyer indicated an interest in seeing some of the student projects that might propose more visionary ideas. A – Diocese Site on Daly Kim Murry indicated that this site has a deed provision that restricts use of the site to Church and church-related uses, and recommends that the Task Force remove this site from further evaluation of alternatives. On motion by Task Force Member Juhnke, seconded by Task Force Bremer, to remove this site from further consideration of land use alternatives. AYES: Task Force Members Bremer, Brown, Dandekar, Goetz, Juhnke, Richardson, Crotser, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, Rossi, Rademaker and Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Task Force Member Quaglino The motion passed on a 13:0 vote.

C - Pacheco elementary site Sharon Whitney made a motion to remove this site from consideration. She provided a handout with information stating that the neighborhood is broken, and 1) rezoning will not fix this site, 2) workshop results were bifurcated, 3) no clear consensus emerged from future fair, and 4) hotel would not be welcome in the area. On motion by Task Force Member Whitney, seconded by Task Force Member, to remove this site from further consideration.

E - Upper Monterey area: Staff presented that while there are no physical alternatives being discussed for this area, the Task Force is able to offer policy considerations for direction. Task Force member Rowley observed that if a conference center was to be located near the college campus, the student demographic would need to be understood when designing the facilities. Task Force Member Saunders pointed out that this property backs up to low density residential. Direction: Task Force members provided comments including the desirability for this area to host a conference center. Other ideas included use of parking district, street façade improvements, lot assembly to facilitate more dense development, making the area more pedestrian-friendly, addressing the appearance of properties in public ownership, and addressing the transit center location. F - Downtown Area: Derek Johnson commented that the downtown pedestrian plan is a product that will be coming to the Task Force at a future date.

The proposal includes bus staging areas on-street and reserves the block of Santa Rosa Street between Higuera and Monterey for bus, pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. The design provides an opportunity to make a plaza with amenities for pedestrians and bicyclists. Task Force Member Carla Saunders was not comfortable with the Alternatives Newsletter characterization of policy screening criteria since it fails to include the 2012 LUCE Community Survey responses. Community Development Director, Derek Johnson ensures the Task Force that the direction from the Task Force that was endorsed by both the Planning Commission and City Council to use the Land Use and Circulation Element Goals will be followed. DISCUSSION ITEMS: Schedule: Staff presented a schedule to the Task Force showing upcoming meetings for September 2013 through May 2014.

Alternatives: PH1 - 145 TF-LUCE Minutes July 1, 2013 Page 2 The Task Force continued their discussion of Land Use Alternatives for identified sites. Staff member Murry summarized the comments and general support for each alternative expressed at the workshop held on June 1st and requested Task Force direction. O. Madonna Property on Los Osos Valley Road COMMITTEE COMMENTS: The Task Force discussed environmental constraints and gateway views on the property and the types of uses that might be appropriate. The Task Force offered that neighborhood commercial might be more appropriate at this location rather than destination commercial uses. Task Force member Dandekar offered that a student-designed project for this location won a “Bank of America Affordable Housing Challenge” competition and the site can accommodate development while protecting environmentally sensitive areas. Task Force member Saunders cited the community survey as important input since over 50% of respondents favor preserving creeks, marshes and open space. Public Comment: John Madonna, property owner, offered that the area may accommodate a future off- ramp to Hwy 101 at Calle Joaquin.

COMMITTEE COMMENTS: Task Force members discussed the development entitled under County jurisdiction and whether the development is feasible given the need to provide on-site utilities. Several members expressed a desire to see the property annexed and developed within the City so that the City could have some influence over what gets developed on the property. PH1 - 150 TF-LUCE Minutes July 1, 2013 Page 7 The Task Force discussed the types of uses that might be viable given the development that has occurred on Los Osos Valley Road. Members also discussed the current Land Use Element policies that direct 50% of the site to be retained in open space, and the possibility that some flexibility regarding the 50% requirement might be appropriate if open space could be obtained in other locations in addition to the Dalidio property. Task Force members expressed that the property is a key visual gateway to the City with a valued agricultural character. Some members provided input that some development needed to be included in the alternative because a developer would not seek annexation of a property to be designated solely for agricultural uses. Rob Rossi left the meeting at 8:10 pm. Public Comment: No Public Comment On motion by Chuck Crotser, seconded by Russ Brown, to forward an alternative with a mix of uses with a significant open space/agricultural (at least 50%) component (alternative L-5 without the specific direction of particular sizes/shapes of uses).

COMMITTEE COMMENTS: Task Force members discussed ideas related to reconfiguration of development areas to bring agricultural uses closer to freeway. This would involve re-alignment of Calle Joaquin potentially to connect to other circulation links. Members discussed whether uses were more appropriate as Commercial Tourism or General Retail but did note that auto sales bring in tax revenue Derek Johnson, Community Development Director, comments that the City has engaged a consultant to conduct an economic analysis to in order to understand whether the lots are needed for future auto sales. PH1 - 151 TF-LUCE Minutes July 1, 2013 Page 8 Walter Bremer motions for mixed-use with swap of open space and agriculture land closer to the freeway, Chuck Crotser seconds.

Oceanaire Neighborhood connection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the options presented at the Future Fair 2 and results for Task Force discussion. Committee Comments: Task Force members discussed the input received from area residents that supports leaving the neighborhood connections as they exist today. Public Comments: Theo Jones, Oceanaire neighborhood, indicated that the neighbors in the area do not want a connection to Froom Ranch. Any connection to the neighborhood creates concerns about cut-through traffic. She acknowledged that Froom Ranch will go through to the northeast and expressed concerns about crossing the creek. PH1 - 153 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 2 On motion to by Goetz, seconded by Saunders, to withdraw alternative #14 from further consideration and leaving the Oceanaire neighborhood with the connections that currently exist.

Pedestrian Access near Foothill/Boysen/Santa Rosa Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, described the options presented at the Future Fair 2 and results for Task Force discussion. He described how closure of Boysen would allow more right-of-way to accommodate the bike and pedestrian crossing of Highway 1 and provide a better trailhead. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed the potential circulation impacts if Boysen is closed. Dave Juhnke observed that if Boysen is closed, traffic from development on Boysen will be pushed to the Chorro/Highland intersection which is already impacted. He indicated consideration of a Boysen closure in alternative #1 needs to be linked to realignment alternatives listed in #2. Jon Goetz questioned whether re-aligning Boysen to connect to Foothill would have an acceptable distance from the Foothill/Santa Rosa intersection. Chuck Crotser expressed the desire to keep some flexibility in the location of the over/underpass across Santa Rosa. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Brown to forward for consideration alternative 1-3 with flexibility in location of over/underpass and with consideration of all alternatives for Boysen including full closure, access restrictions, and retaining its current configuration.

Sandra Rowley expressed concerns about pulling traffic from higher-density housing in the area from Santa Rosa Street to neighborhood streets of Broad and Chorro. She also expressed concerns about late night bar traffic coming back through those neighborhoods to the Boysen developments. Carla Saunders expressed concerns about a tourist gateway at Santa Rosa and Foothill that will funnel traffic down Chorro and Broad Streets. She supports an overpass to connect across Santa Rosa but has concerns about re-aligning or closing Boysen. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Bremer, to forward alternative 2-3 (Chorro and Broad re-alignment) for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: Committee Members Rowley and Saunders RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 9:2 vote. 3. CA 1 and US 101 intersection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, presented a description of the current alignment of hook ramps to Highway 101 in existing neighborhoods and the option of redesigning a Hwy 1/101 interchange and closing the smaller ramps. He also clarified Caltrans role in the process and indicated that the state agency would not be able to force the City to close the smaller ramps. Committee Comments: Committee members questioned the impact of the larger interchange on Olive Street businesses and the changes to circulation patterns created by closing and consolidating on/off ramps. PH1 - 155 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 4 Committee Member Juhnke commented on the importance of the Route 1/Hwy 101 intersection from a tourism standpoint. Committee Member Crotser indicated that there may be unanticipated impacts to tourism due to closure of smaller ramps in that the current configuration brings travelers directly to the Mission and the downtown area. He observed that a way-finding signage program would be a key component of a new interchange. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Quaglino to forward alternative 3-2 for further evaluation, including impacts to residential streets and the need for a signage program. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 4. Broad Street and 101 ramps Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the option to close the ramps to Hwy 101 from both sides of Broad Street. This option is only available if the interchange discussed in alternative #3 occurs. Committee Comments: Committee Member Juhnke indicated a desire to see a connection across Hwy 101 at Broad for pedestrians and bikes. Hudson says bike plan shows a connection further to the south. Member Rowley questions whether a bike connection is needed at Broad when Chorro connection is available one block to the east. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Richardson to forward alternative 4-2 for evaluation with the addition of a bike and pedestrian overpass at this location. PH1 - 156 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 5 AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 6. Transit Center Location Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson presented the transit center alternative as a question of whether this is the appropriate location for this facility and indicated that the graphics showed that the center works regardless of whether the traffic is one way or two way on Higuera Street. Public Comment: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, reminded the Task Force of the students’ design for the transit center which he presented on July 1st. Mr. Jud expressed a preference to locate the transit center on the Shell Station property and to close the surrounding streets to vehicular traffic other than buses. He prefers to retain valuable land development and use the public right-of-way for buses, bicycles and pedestrians. Committee Comments: Chair Meyer expressed a preference for two-way traffic on Higuera Street to create different circulation downtown. Committee Member Juhnke questioned whether the slide showing the existing condition should also include the current location of the transit center adjacent to City Hall and the County building. Staff Member Hudson acknowledged that the existing condition should include both sites – the current development on Higuera as well as the existing transit center location. Chair Meyer expressed a strong desire to study location of the transit center within the public right of way. Committee Member Crotser indicated the Downtown Concept Plan shows strong pedestrian connections across Santa Rosa. There were no further comments made from the Committee. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Brown to forward an alternative that looks at this site/block of Higuera/Santa Rosa/Monterey for the location for the transit center and consider use of both public and private property. PH1 - 157 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 6 The evaluation is to consider ideas from student projects and the Downtown Concept Plan. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 7. Broad Street “Dogleg” Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson discussed the options for the area. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed circulation impacts of full street closures and whether temporary closures associated with events was more appropriate. The Committee discussed with staff the description of a “woonerf” and noticing and comments from those potentially impacted by street changes. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comment: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, indicated that street closures should occur where people are. He recommends closing a two-block area of Higuera Street for a trial period. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Bremer to forward alternatives 7-2 and 7-3 using a woonerf concept and not full closure of the streets for further evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 8. High/Pismo and Higuera Intersection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the circulation challenges associated with the current configuration of the streets PH1 - 158 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 7 Committee Comments: Committee Member Rowley suggested elongating the signal cones and new or longer crosswalk signals where needed to address circulation issues. Staff Member Hudson indicated that the signal housings were being modified but that it didn’t address the issue of awkward intersections and impacts to pedestrians and bicycles. Committee members clarified that option 8-3 would retain Pismo as a one-way street and not convert a portion to two-way traffic. They also confirmed that Walker Street would remain a two-way street. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Richardson to forward alternative 8-3 for further evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Saunders, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: Committee Members Rowley and Whitney RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 9:2 vote. 9. Madonna and Higuera Intersection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the option of aligning Madonna to Bridge Street. Committee Comments: Committee Member Juhnke expressed support for evaluating the alternative connection but without using roundabouts. Committee Member Rowley described support for the current configuration because it facilitates traffic movement turning from Higuera to Madonna without the need to stop at a signal. Committee Member Bremer indicated the more square intersection alignment assists bicycle and pedestrian movement across Higuera and Madonna. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. PH1 - 159 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 8 On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Quaglino, to forward alternative 9-2 for further evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Saunders, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: Committee Members Rowley and Whitney RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 9:2 vote. 10. Bishop Street Extension Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, explained that the current Circulation Element contains a bridge across the train tracks at Bishop Street to accommodate all modes of traffic. The alternative to the current condition is to evaluate the impact of eliminating the connection. Committee Comments: Committee Member Rowley expressed concern about impacts of a vehicular connection to the existing neighborhoods and supports a connection for pedestrians and bikes only. Committee Member Crotser expressed an interest in seeing reconstruction of the roundhouse incorporated into the design of the structure that is built. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comment: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, introduced the idea of induced demand where building the vehicular bridge will bring traffic into the neighborhoods. On motion by Committee Member Quaglino, seconded by Committee Member Richardson, to evaluate three options: 1. A bridge for all modes of traffic; 2. A bridge for bicycles and pedestrians only; and 3. Elimination of any connection at Bishop Street. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 11. 11 & 12 Victoria Avenue Connection and Broad Street circulation PH1 - 160 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 9 Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson discussed the potential circulation connections and changes in the area. Staff Member Murry clarified that options 11-2 and 11-3 are not mutually exclusive and that input from the workshop should be considered in light of how the options were presented. Committee Comments: Committee members questioned connectivity across Broad Street and potential access restrictions. There were no further comments made from the Committee. On motion by Committee Member Goetz, seconded by Committee Member Whitney, to forward alternatives 12-2 and 12-3 for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, and Whitney NOES: None RECUSED: Chairperson Meyer ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 10:0 vote (Meyer recused). 13. Orcutt Road Overpass Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, described the alternative to evaluate removal of the grade separated crossing currently included in the Circulation Element. He noted that train traffic is currently about seven trains/day which represents a decrease since the Circulation Element was adopted. Staff is still seeking information from the Railroads regarding anticipated future train traffic. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed how grade separation would affect local streets and bicycle connectivity. Committee Member Richardson reminded the Task Force that future traffic will grow in this area due to planned development in the Orcutt Area, additional development at Laurel Creek, and build-out of community. Public Comments: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, indicated that another east-west connection exists at Tank Farm Road. There were no further comments made from the Committee. PH1 - 161 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 10 On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Whitney to forward alternative 13-1 eliminating the overpass on Orcutt Road for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 15. Prado Overpass/Interchange Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson presented circulation information regarding current need for an east-west connection and impacts to existing interchanges at Los Osos Valley and Madonna Roads. Committee Comments: Committee Member Quaglino indicated that if an interchange is needed now, there is no doubt that it will be required in the future as more development occurs over time and recommends keeping the full interchange as the preferred alternative. Chair Meyer questioned whether the upcoming upgrade to the Los Osos Valley Road interchange affects the need for a full interchange at Prado. Task Force Member Juhnke wants to keep the focus on the alternative of a full interchange. Community Development Director Johnson indicates a desire to see modeling of traffic impacts with both an overpass and full interchange options. Committee Member Bremer indicated that connectivity options associated with alternative 16 may impact whether the Task Force supports an overpass versus an interchange. Chair Meyer would like to see an overpass reserved for non-vehicular traffic to see how it will affect the transit model. Committee Member Juhnke will not support an overpass alternative that doesn’t accommodate cars. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, expressed a desire for an overpass that serves pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes only. He offered that this facility would serve as PH1 - 162 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 11 a gateway to city and would represent a forward-thinking community. Mr. Jud shared that traffic activity is staying level because the younger generation is not as car-centric. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Rowley to forward alternatives 15-2 (current plan) and 15-3 (overpass only) for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, and Whitney NOES: Chairperson Meyer and Committee Members Brown and Saunders RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 8:3 vote. 16. Froom Ranch/Calle Joaquin Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson discussed the connections from Froom Ranch Way extension and Calle Joaquin. Since development on the Dalidio property is unknown at this moment, it isn’t possible to describe specific locations of potential facilities. Input from Task Force can be general as to needed circulation connections. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed difficulty of making recommendations on circulation without knowing what development proposal may be coming forward. Chair Meyer prefers to move Calle Joaquin away from Hwy 101 frontage to preserve visual open space/agriculture corridor to be more consistent with character of community. Committee Member Saunders expressed concern about moving open space and agriculture. Committee Member Crotser favors limiting the amount of roads taking up space on property. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Richardson to forward alternatives that evaluate whether one or more connections are needed to provide an additional north-south connection between Los Osos Valley Road and Prado/Dalidio; and whether an internal east-west or loop road is needed to connect those roads on the Dalidio property. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer PH1 - 163 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 12 NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 17. Vachell Road to Higuera Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the challenges and options for Vachell Road. Committee Comments: Committee members clarified interaction between this alternative and the Buckley Road connection to Higuera. Staff indicated that closing Vachell is not a viable option if Buckley does not connect to S. Higuera. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Rowley, seconded by Committee Member Juhnke, to evaluate 17-2 as a “back up” alternative in the event Buckley Road does not connect to S. Higuera. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Committee Member Richardson ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 10:0 vote (Richardson recused). 18. Tank farm Road to Buckley Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson presented the concept of an additional north- south connection between Tank Farm Road and Buckley which may be beneficial in the future to address connectivity for future development. Committee Comments: Committee Member Saunders favors alternative 18-2 over 18-3 due to creek crossing issues and wildlife corridors. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Goetz, seconded by Committee Member Juhnke, to forward alternative 18-2 for evaluation. PH1 - 164 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 13 AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Committee Member Richardson ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 10:0 vote (Richardson recused). 19. LOVR to Buckley Road and Bypass connection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the alternatives and clarified that alternatives 19-2 and 19-3 were not mutually exclusive. The workshop input reflected this by identifying a third alternative to combine both alternatives as the preferred one. Committee Comments: Committee members had a brief discussion regarding benefits of both alternatives. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Brown, to forward alternative 19-2 and 19-3 for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Committee Member Richardson ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 10:0 vote (Richardson recused). PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: Eugene Jud presented a two-page handout to the Task Force showing an alternative alignment and design width for Prado Road. He questioned the need of a four-lane Prado Road because of the anticipated size and capacity of Tank Farm and Buckley Roads. Committee Member Juhnke requested information regarding future Task Force composition given Chairperson Meyer’s impending resignation from the City Planning Commission and his role as the Planning Commission member participating on the TF- LUCE. Community Development Director Johnson explained that the item was not advertised as part of the Task Force agenda for the evening and hence the Task Force could not take any formal action. He explained that the Council would be providing policy PH1 - 165 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 14 direction on August 20th regarding the future composition of the task force. Committee members expressed their strong desire to not have new members added to the Task Force and asked Director Johnson to communicate that desire to the Council. SET TIME FOR NEXT TF-LUCE MEETING: September 18, 2013, at 6:00 p.m., in the Council Hearing Room.

ER 92-08: Introduction and review of the Draft EIR for the Chevron Tank Farm remediation and development project: Chevron Corporation, applicant. (Phil Dunsmore) Phil Dunsmore, Senior Planner, presented the staff report, recommending the Commission receive a presentation and public testimony and provide feedback on the Chevron project Draft EIR. He noted that a letter from the Chamber of Commerce had been received and was distributed to the Commission just prior to the meeting. Commr. Multari clarified with staff that the development agreement is a part of the project. Commr. Multari asked if all open areas will be restored and whether non-native species in areas not proposed for remediation will be removed. Mr. Dunsmore noted that the project description does not include addressing areas of the site that are not proposed for remediation or development. Commr. Fowler asked why no homes are planned in the project area. Mr. Dunsmore responded that the project area is in an airport safety zone. PH1 - 167 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 2 PUBLIC COMMENTS: Dan Sutton, San Luis Obispo, stated the project provides an opportunity for inclusion of recreation for youth. John Spatafore, San Luis Obispo, noted the opportunity for recreation, biking, and development of a commercial area that would attract light manufacturing. He stated that completion of Prado Road will improve emergency response times and provide better transportation flow. Doug Hoffman, San Luis Obispo, owner of a business at Tank Farm and Santa Fe, reconsidered his opposition to the roundabout, viewing it as one of several workable possibilities. He stated that the traffic flow all along Tank Farm Road should be considered as a whole. Dan Rivoire, Executive Director of the San Luis Bike Coalition, supports bike path development but stated that he does not think a class 1 and class 2 bike lane need to be parallel to each other on Tank Farm and that a protected class 2 would be preferred. Connectivity issues within the project and throughout the city need to be examined, especially the Broad Street/Tank Farm Road intersection and the roundabout. He said the Bike Coalition is concerned but supports going forward. Dave Garth, San Luis Obispo, expressed concern about the beneficial economic impact for the community and found nothing in the environmental impact report on that subject. He noted the opportunity to generate more head-of-household jobs. Ken Kienow, San Luis Obispo, supported bike lanes protected from traffic. He supports development of the project under City jurisdiction. Lea Brooks, San Luis Obispo, commended Chevron for taking on the project but expressed concern that the draft EIR is deficient. She noted the need to emphasize alternative modes of transportation and connectivity between Los Osos Valley Road and Broad Street for bicycles. She pointed out that there was no mention of how bicyclists will be affected by intersections and additional lanes on Tank Farm Road. She stated that the plan has a motor vehicle bias. Myron “Skip” Amerine, San Luis Obispo, supports bike lanes totally separated from traffic and addressing complete streets. He stated that adding lanes to Tank Farm will only cause higher speeds. He also expressed concern about concrete oil reservoir floors and soil that will be brought in. Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, was concerned about bike safety with the roundabout, and about the potential for creating a “little Los Angeles.” He stated that Broad Street to the airport is a totally car-oriented route with no public transportation to the airport. He asked if bicycle parking is addressed in the draft EIR. Ty Safreno, owner of a property next to the project; was concerned about infrastructure needs vs wants. He requested the source of data presented in support of roundabouts. He stated that San Luis Obispo has an aging population that may not deal well with PH1 - 168 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 3 roundabouts which he described as being contradictory for traffic flow in an industrial area. He supports the development of a business park to cluster industrial businesses. Tim Walters, principal with RRM Design Group, stated that AASP identifies a signal as the ultimate solution with a roundabout only an interim solution. He noted that the AASP breakdown of costs indicated that signalization was less expensive by about one million dollars. He noted that bicyclists and pedestrians would be negatively impacted by a roundabout in this particular location. Ermina Karim, San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce, reaffirmed the Chamber’s support for annexation because it is critical for this corridor to be a part of the City. She urged the City to enter into a suitable agreement with Chevron. Deborah Hoffman, co-owner of a business at Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe with her husband expressed concern with the roundabout the handling of traffic from Broad Street to South Higuera. She stated that calming traffic to 15 mph will result in gridlock. She noted a need for careful traffic study. She supported the proposed bike lanes but saw a need to address bicycle traffic moving north and south. Dawn Legg, San Luis Obispo, encouraged quick action for economic feasibility. Neal Havlik, former city employee who worked on open space, supported the project, and the deletion of the Unocal collector road. He stated that the open spaces make up a majority of the project but are not clearly dealt with in terms of dedication. He supported a conservation easement to preserve these open spaces. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commr. Stevenson expressed concern about the appropriateness of the roundabout and how it would work in this location. Commr. Multari was concerned about accurate project description (including the development agreement), in order to have a complete evaluation of potential environmental impacts, and noted that an addendum or supplement may be required later. He commended the draft EIR as a very good basis for the project. He stated there is a need to analyze different forms of transportation. He asked Senior Planner Dunsmore to elaborate on the presence of asbestos. Mr. Dunsmore stated there is a potential for naturally-occurring asbestos in serpentine rock on a hill in the project area, and mitigation is designed to minimize health risks. Commr. Fowler commended the project as part of the city. He expressed concern about well contamination if the project were to be developed in the county. He was also concerned about cultural impacts and the open space issue. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that the goal is to have it become public open space. He noted that some areas need no remediation, but it would be appropriate to address the non-native invasive plant species. PH1 - 169 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 4 Director Derek Johnson stated that the final project EIR will be clear on this issue. Diane Kukol, Regional Water Quality Control Board, stated that it is highly unlikely that there would be any drawing down of oily material into the water supply. She stated that connection to the sewer line along Tank Farm Road for waste water disposal is dependent on annexation. Commr. Fowler stated that while there is no housing proposed, there is a nexus between job creation and housing. He agreed with the need for a buffer for bicyclists. He commended the draft EIR. Commr. Stevenson gave compliments to staff on an excellent draft EIR. He appreciated public comments about bike trails. Commr. Larson stated a need to revisit the wetlands issue about whether environmental impacts are Class 1 or 2. Bob Hill, Natural Resources Manager, stated that many state agencies will be involved in the future but the draft EIR comes first. Vice-Chair Meyer, in general, expressed support for the future positive outcomes. He pointed out that the draft EIR is inconsistent with the city bicycle plan and treats bicycling only as recreation. He noted that Class 1 bike paths are dealt with by Parks & Recreation while Public Works deals with Class 2 paths although, in San Luis Obispo, bicycle journeys often combine business and recreation. He stated protected bike lanes along Tank Farm should be a hybrid of Class 1 and 2. He stated there is a need to address how to get across Tank Farm Road at points between Broad and Higuera. He expressed concern about excess traffic capacity and excessive maintenance costs when the Buckley Road and Prado Road extensions are added to lane expansion on Tank Farm Road. He noted the need to consider all modes of transportation and ways for pedestrians and bicycles to cross Tank Farm Road. He supports the City’s Bicycle Transportation Plan and indicated that Chevron’s project will need some adjustment. Commr. Multari noted that the EIR process allows changes if the City makes findings that there are community values that outweigh impacts. He gave the example of the community deciding to not add lanes to Tank Farm Road and accepting the impact of heavier traffic. There were no further comments made from the Commission. 2. City-Wide. GPI 15-12: Land Use and Circulation Elements Update: Study session to review and discuss Task Force recommended Land Use and Circulation alternatives for the Land Use and Circulation Elements update; City of San Luis Obispo - Community Development Dept., applicant (Kim Murry) Kim Murry, Deputy Director, presented the staff report, recommending the Commission review the land use and circulation alternatives endorsed for further evaluation by the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements Update and provide input and revisions as appropriate. PH1 - 170 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 5 Commissioners discussed how to handle Vice-Chair Meyer’s need to be recused on one item concerning the Johnson/Broad area. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, seconded by Commr. Larson, that the item of Johnson/Broad area be taken as the last discussion item of the meeting. AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: Commr. Meyer ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 4-0 vote. Commr. Multari clarified the nature of alternatives. Deputy Director Murry stated that the Planning Commission’s recommendations will receive high-level review and be presented to Council in October. The City Council will select a “preferred alternative” to the current general plan that will subsequently proceed through full environmental review. Slide 1 Foothill area: TF-LUCE recommendations include University Square transition from general retail to mixed use. Properties on the southeast side of Foothill are also included for mixed uses. Two sites owned by the Diocese of Monterey were not recommended for changes to their current land-use designations. The Old Pacheco School site was recommended by the TF-LUCE to consider for residential and park use. Circulation recommendations include consideration of realignment of Chorro, Broad, and Boysen as well as a separated bike and pedestrian connection across Santa Rosa Street. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 1 OF THE PRESENTATION: Sharon Whitney, resident of Pacheco School neighborhood, requested removing the old Pacheco School site from consideration and was opposed to medium to high-density residential development for that site. She would have supported an alternative for use of the site as a park. Ermina Karim, Chamber of Commerce, supported increasing building heights in the Santa Rosa/Foothill area and thought the area might be appropriate for a research park. She stated that the Santa Rosa corridor is a gateway to the City and is an appropriate location for tourism-supporting commercial uses. She spoke in favor of designating Chorro as the alternative bike route to downtown and new, medium-density apartments with a transition to low-density residential for the Old Pacheco School site. Geoff Straw, Director of San Luis Obispo RTA, cyclist, spoke in support of a pedestrian/bicycle over/underpass for Santa Rosa Street. He advocated considering all forms of transportation. Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, commended the work done by staff with some reservations. PH1 - 171 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 6 There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 1 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Multari thought that B-4 was the most sensible and wanted the whole area considered for mixed use. He supports policy discussions about parking and height requirements. He was not in favor of a research park in this area. He noted that planning for the Pacheco School site may be impacted by Cal Poly’s master plan. He stated that the shape and size of the park at this site should be flexible and that a policy discussion was needed. He supported TF-LUCE recommendations for potential land use and circulation changes in the area. Commr. Stevenson spoke about B-4 and expressed a desire to see flexibility in mixed use that could accommodate horizontal or other types of mixed use. He supported serving student needs in this area. He emphasized the importance of understanding the parks needs of the neighborhood around the Old Pacheco site. He expressed opposition to the Chamber position for this site. Commr. Multari stated that Cal Poly is considering building more housing with commercial businesses included across the street. He suggested that perhaps a policy decision, not a land use decision, is needed for the Old Pacheco site. Commr. Fowler commended the work done by the Land Use Committee. He supported the pedestrian/bicycle alternative and residential development for the Pacheco School site. Commr. Meyer expressed concern about losing school sites. He agreed that the shape of the park is only an approximation at this point. Deputy Director Murry stated that Cal Poly is planning a 1400-bed housing expansion on a campus parking lot across the street from the Old Pacheco site. She stated that the City is looking forward 20-35 years to anticipate future community needs, however, the school district may have more immediate needs even though they have yet to formulate plans for the property. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission supports the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements recommendations with consideration of the policy direction noted in the Commission’s discussion. AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Meyer, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 5-0 vote. Slide 2: Monterey/Downtown/Mid-Higuera Area Jake Hudson, Traffic Operations Manager, presented the circulation alternatives shown on slide 2. These involve exploring full or event-related closure of Broad and Monterey PH1 - 172 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 7 streets near Mission Plaza; potential freeway ramp closures in neighborhoods and expansion on interchange at US 101 and SR 1; location of the Transit Center on Higuera near Santa Rosa; conversion of Marsh and Higuera to two-way streets between Santa Rosa and Johnson; and re-alignment of Bianchi Lane to Pismo. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 2 OF THE PRESENTATION: David Kuykendall, San Luis Obispo, indicated that on Pismo and Buchon Streets, much of the traffic is cut-through and not local. He supports shifting traffic from residential area to arterial streets. He expressed concern about the Johnson Avenue Housing Project’s traffic impacts to Johnson, Pismo, and Buchon and supports better utilization of Marsh Street. Bill Casella, San Luis Obispo, asked if there would be a right-hand turn lane on Higuera Street onto High Street. He supported two-way traffic on Higuera Street and Marsh Street. Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, stated he had mixed feelings about the process. He indicated the June workshop had a carnival atmosphere and that people didn’t understand what they were voting on. Problems aren’t defined and there hasn’t been criteria listed for how to evaluate alternatives. He opposes one-way streets in residential areas, a large interchange, and feels that Higuera Street should be pedestrian only. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 2 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Larson stated that it is convenient to have local ramps to get on and off freeways. Commr. Stevenson supported the alternatives with the caveat that he is not entirely in support of 7-3 – the larger closing of Monterey and Broad Streets. . Commr. Multari noted advantages of reducing traffic on Broad Street near Mission Plaza. He stated that neighborhood on/off freeway ramps are inadequate but that he has concerns about creating one large freeway interchange. He noted that 7-3 has issues concerning access to businesses and to the parking structure. He supported a policy discussion of what type of closure may be appropriate for this area. Commr. Fowler stated that closing the off-ramp at Broad Street, is troubling as it is a direct route to the airport, the Mission, and Downtown. Commr. Meyer supported one-way traffic on Broad Street, diagonal parking, and closing the street for events, options that did not get into the TF-LUCE recommendation and were recommended by Ken Schwartz. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, to forward the LUCE recommendations to the City Council but with a policy discussion about the nature and phasing of closure in 7-3 PH1 - 173 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 8 AYES: Commrs. Multari and Stevenson NOES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, and Meyer RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion failed on a 2-3 vote. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr.

AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Meyer, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 5-0 vote. Slide 3: Monterey/Downtown/Mid-Higuera Area (continued) Jake Hudson, Traffic Operations Manager, presented the circulation alternatives for potential re-alignment of Madonna to form an intersection at Bridge Street across Higuera. Deputy Director Murry described the Task Force recommendations for policy discussions to address Upper Monterey, Downtown, and Mid-Higuera areas but that the Task Force did not recommend land use designation changes for these areas. She also explained the TF-LUCE recommendation to explore both Tourist Commercial and some form of Mixed use for the Caltrans site at Higuera and Madonna. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 3 OF THE PRESENTATION: There were no comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 3 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Stevenson supports a large-scale conference center at the Cal Trans site. He indicated that the re-alignment of Madonna may be OK but that Mixed Use is probably not appropriate for this location. PH1 - 174 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 9 Commr. Meyer expressed a need to study the options of a conference center or commercial use. Commr. Fowler agreed with Commr. Stevenson and asked if the Chamber had any comments. Ermina Karim, Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber has been an advocate for a conference center for a long time and agreed with the Task Force findings regarding mixed use. Commr. Larson stated that the intersection of Madonna Road and Higuera Street is awkward but does work. He added that this is a great location for a conference center but asked if realignment of Madonna Road would reduce the size of the Cal Trans property. He stated that use and circulation are linked closely. He thought the City could do without the realignment. Deputy Director Murry stated that the alignment concept was offered by a participant at the December workshop. She further noted that the Cal Trans site is 13 acres in size and that conference centers usually require approximately 4-6 acres. Commr. Multari agreed with Commr. Larson about the intersection and was inclined more to support H-3 but would like a policy discussion. On motion by Commr. Multari, seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission supports the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements recommendations for alternatives E, F and G; and H-3 with a policy discussion that would address circulation options and the possibility of incorporating more public open space. Land uses to serve as gateway uses on the Caltrans site should include a conference center and other uses compatible with a conference center. AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Meyer, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 5-0 vote. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, and seconded by Commr.

MINUTES: Approval/amendment of the minutes of July 24, 2013, was continued due to a lack of four members in attendance that were present on July 24, 2013. ELECTION: Commr. Larson was unanimously elected as Vice-Chairperson. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: There were no comments made from the public. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. 323 Grand Avenue. MS/ER 25-13: Review of minor subdivision of 323 and 353 Grand Avenue to create four parcels with exceptions to the minimum lot depth and area requirement and adoption of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact; R-1 zone; Ryan Petetit/John Belsher, applicants. (Marcus Carloni) Assistant City Attorney Andrea Visveshwara recused herself based on a conflict of interest. She stated that she has not had any communication with the Commission on this item. Marcus Carloni, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report, recommending adoption of the Draft Resolution, which grants final approval to the project, based on findings and subject to conditions which he outlined. PH1 - 177 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 2 PUBLIC COMMENTS: John Belsher, applicant, provided a PowerPoint presentation. Steve Delmartini, SLO, supported the project and infill development in general, praised the parking provided, and stated it would upgrade the neighborhood. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Chair Draze was concerned about setbacks and the amount of parking. Commr. Stevenson noted that lots 2 and 3 adjoin a shallow drainage basin and wondered if this would be usable outdoor space. Commr. Larson discussed the project’s density. Marcus Carloni, Assistant Planner, stated that, when a lot is substandard, the main issue is compatibility with the neighborhood. He noted there are many substandard R-1 lots in the area. Commr. Stevenson supported the project as a well-designed, efficient use of land. He expressed concern about the cost to the subdivider language in finding #6. Commr. Multari discussed the neighborhood density and lot sizes in terms of compatibility. He supported prohibiting secondary dwelling units. Commr. Larson supported this project over individual development of the lots due to better access and parking and the elimination of secondary dwelling units. Commr. Multari discussed the project’s density and questioned the number of bedrooms that would be allowed if the lot sizes were proposed in the R-2 zone. Commr. Draze supported the project as a better option than three residences with five bedrooms and secondary dwelling units that might result in higher density. He stated that the project is consistent with a single-family neighborhood. Commr. Multari stated that this property is 1.5 blocks from Cal Poly and thus it is likely to be rented to students. He noted that the General Plan encourages student housing close to Cal Poly. Commr. Stevenson expressed concern with the unit size. Mr. Carloni, in response to a question about R-2 density, stated three-bedroom residences would be allowed per lot if the proposed lot sizes were in the R-2 zone. PH1 - 178 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 3 Commr. Larson commended the design of the project and stated that this development will be compatible with residences in this area. Commr. Multari expressed concern about vehicles backing out onto Grand Avenue and wanted the applicant to consider one driveway for the project. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, seconded by Vice-Chair Larson to approve the project per staff recommendation with the following modifications: 1. Modify finding #5 to read as follows “…standards codified in the Subdivision Regulations because the design will result in a more efficient use of the land, and the property…” 2. Add condition #5 which reads “Secondary Dwelling Units shall not be allowed.” 3. Add condition #6 which reads “The Architectural Review Commission shall consider one driveway accessing all parcels on the project site resulting in elimination of backing out onto Grand Avenue.” AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. 2. City-Wide. GPI 15-12: Land Use and Circulation Elements Update: Continued review of Task Force-recommended alternatives to the Land Use Element update; City of San Luis Obispo – Community Development Dept., applicant. (Kim Murry) Kim Murry, Deputy Director, presented the staff report, recommending the Commission continue to review the land use and circulation alternatives endorsed for further evaluation by the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements Update and provide input and revisions as appropriate. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 4 OF THE PRESENTATION (MADONNA/LOVR AREA): Steve Devencenzi, SLOCOG, stated that the Prado Road interchange does impact SLOCOG. He can see justification for some regional funds for access to the airport via Prado Road to Broad. He noted that SLOCOG is currently conducting a mobility study in the county. He stated that closure of ramps and going to one access point for 101 will be very expensive and, rather than stating that ramps are to be closed, it may be preferable to plan a complete analysis of all the ramps, with the possibility that ramps in existence may be redesigned. He noted that going to one access point may require widening Santa Rosa. PH1 - 179 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 4 Jenna Smith, SLO, Executive Director of Central Coast Grown, noted that the general plan calls for preserving agricultural properties. Central Coast Grown supported retaining fifty percent of the Dalidio property as agricultural land. Brian Engleton, City Farm, supported option L-5 as it preserves fifty percent of the land as agricultural. He stated that the planned medium and high-density housing will serve the purpose of connecting people to their local food supply. He supported considering the impact on agricultural lands when planning new roads. Amy Sinsheimer, SLO, member of Central Coast Grown, supports L-5 over options that might preserve even more open space because the adjacent housing would connect residents to agriculture. She noted the need to optimally use the agricultural land. Rosemary Wilvert SLO, member of the City Farm group, emphasized the need for sustainable farmland in light of climate change. She noted that the land use plan and the master plan for the Calle Joaquin Preserve require that fifty percent be reserved for agriculture. She stated that the City Farm working group advocates extending Calle Joaquin to Dalidio Road but understands that either 15-3 or 15-2 will be passed and therefore prefers 15-3. Karen Newman, representative for the City Farm working group, opposed the extension of Froom Ranch Way because it would cut off access to City Farm. She stated that the extension of the Bob Jones Bike Trail would preserve access. She supported contiguous open spaces that would bring people to, not through, them. She stated that the extension of Calle Joaquin should be parallel to 101. Eugene Jud, SLO, suggested the Prado overpass be just a bicycle/pedestrian bridge. He noted the need for planning for people who will be 45 in 2035. He maintained that vehicular traffic is not growing in many locations and that fewer young people have driver licenses today. Peter Schwartz, SLO, Cal Poly physics professor, supported high-density housing and safety for bicycles and pedestrians. He supported a bicycle and pedestrian-only overpass for Prado Road. Grace Morgan, SLO, supported a bicycle/pedestrian-only overpass and making the city safe for bicycles and pedestrians. She stated that people will adjust to what is built. Shahram Shariati, SLO, former student, noted the need for more housing, especially affordable housing. He maintained that increases in traffic volume come from people being forced to live outside the city due to high prices. He stated that people are turning against transportation by car. Marshall Ochylski, representative of the developer who has the Dalidio property in escrow, supported mixed use with primary emphasis on residential, especially entry and workforce housing. He clarified the definition of preserving fifty percent of the land as meaning open space and/or agricultural. He supported the mitigation of that fifty PH1 - 180 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 5 percent with offsite property exchanges if there is an opportunity. He supported continued consideration of circulation options. Steve Delmartini, SLO, stated he does not know what entry and workforce housing actually means. He expressed concern about airport flight paths in relation to housing planned. Linda Sealy, SLO, noted that there will never be more class 1 soil on earth and thus there is a need to preserve this land for agriculture over building shopping malls or housing. She opposed the concept of off-site mitigation to meet the fifty percent requirement. Charlene Rosales, SLO Chamber of Commerce, supported the Prado Road interchange for current needs and future development. She stated the area is ideal for mixed use, medium and high-density housing, hospitality space, bicycle access, and parks. . Erik Justesen, business owner, supported mixed use and a move away from large commercial. He noted that with a limited amount of space within the city limits, trying to set aside a sizeable amount of open space would be problematic. He stated that cross circulation, such as the extension of Calle Joaquin, etc., is needed to get to shopping. Eric Meyer, SLO, left his bicycle at the front of the Council Chamber as an exhibit. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 4 OF THE PRESENTATION (MADONNA/LOVR AREA): Commr. Larson stated that the Prado interchange would serve an important east/west traffic flow function and facilitate moving traffic on and off 101. He noted that if this interchange is eliminated, there must be a demonstration of where that traffic will go and what impacts it will have. Commr. Stevenson expressed concern about how CalTrans would view a Prado Road overpass vs. an interchange and whether the city would be required to design a full interchange even if the City opted to pursue the overpass instead of the interchange. Deputy Director of Public Works Tim Bochum indicated that design of the facility is also impacted by underlying issues of access and space. He noted that grading for an overpass might result in flood waters on Hwy 101. Commr. Multari thanked Eugene Jud for his report. He noted that medium/high-density residential on the Dalidio property may not fit with the current Airport Land Use Plan. He stated the City should not be constrained by existing land use categories, but consider designations such as mixed-use plan 1 or 2, etc., with a focus on policy. He supported consideration of offsite mitigation of open space as part of the policy discussions. PH1 - 181 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 6 Commr. Draze agreed that the Commission should not get too detailed at the general plan level and that new designations may be helpful. He stated that he is hesitant to remove circulation options for the future whether car, bicycle, or pedestrian. Commr. Stevenson agreed that discussion of details needs to be at the policy level. Community Development Director Derek Johnson stated that the alternatives will be modeled and can be in the general plan for many years without immediate action. Commr. Draze noted that if an alternative is not in the plan, then it is precluded from being implemented. Commr. Larson stated that modeling and understanding what deletion of the Prado interchange would mean is important and that east/west circulation is a regional issue. Commr. Draze supported the Task Force and Commission on residential development. He noted that in one or two generations, transportation preferences will change. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that the L5 area (Dalidio) be designated as a mixed-use planning area with policies to evaluate the appropriate mix of uses, including agricultural open space at fifty percent and a residential component that is consistent with applicable airport policies. The Commission further recommended that circulation connections between Los Osos Valley Road and Dalidio be evaluated. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. On motion by Commr. Multari and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Commission recommended to the City Council that both 15-2 and 15-3 (Prado overpass and interchange) alternatives be evaluated. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 5 OF THE PRESENTATION (MADONNA/LOVR 2): Shahram Shariati, SLO, suggested that areas already developed but empty, such as the old New Frontiers site, be developed instead of open areas. PH1 - 182 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 7 There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 5 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Draze stated that some portion of the Madonna property would be designated mixed use, to be decided at the policy level, but not the entire property. He noted that the hillsides are not being considered for active uses. He noted the need for a bicycle connection to Target and onto Froom Ranch. He questioned the inclusion of office space on K-3/the Sunset Drive-in to Prado area. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Multari, seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that Site 14 (Oceanaire connection to Froom Ranch) be enhanced for bike and pedestrian connections but that no vehicular connections be made; that K-3 (Sunset Drive-in to Prado Site) be designated for a mix of uses with policy direction to guide appropriate mix; that M-3 and M-4 (Froom Ranch and LOVR) be considered through policy discussion to support a non-residential buffer along roads but to consider Medium-High Density residential development and park at this location; that Task Force directional items for O-3 (Madonna) be included in the policy discussion but not require a Planned Development overlay; and that N-4 (Calle Joaquin) be addressed through policies that will call out the appropriate mix of uses. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 6 OF THE PRESENTATION (SOUTH HIGUERA/ AIRPORT AREA): Stephen Peck, SLO, project manager for the Avila Ranch property, discussed their efforts to review the Buckley Road connection to Higuera. He indicated they are working with the County, the City, and Caltrans to determine connections for pedestrian and bike connections to the Octagon Barn and alignment of Buckley Road. Charlene Rosales, SLO Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber is in agreement with LUCE Task Force recommendations. Steve Delmartini, SLO, stated that the Tank Farm/Broad area needs residential development and that Avila Ranch is a circulation nightmare that needs evaluating. Erik Justesen, business owner, indicated that Avila Ranch is isolated and connections to the retail sites to the north is important. He supports the Buckley connection to Higuera and stated that longer term, the City should look at options to expand outside of the current city limits – perhaps south of Buckley Road. PH1 - 183 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 8 Eugene Jud, SLO, supported the Buckley Road connection to LOVR. He stated that the Marigold Center/Broad/Tank Farm area could be much denser. He suggested a roundabout at Tank Farm and Broad and developing pedestrian connections above streets. Eric Meyer, SLO, indicated that the Avila Ranch concepts require Chevron’s participation to connect the bike network to that area. He emphasized the need to improve pedestrian and bike circulation in the Tank Farm/Broad area. There were no further comments made from the public. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr Stevenson, the Planning Commission recommends the TF-LUCE recommendations for 17-2 (Vachel), 18-2 (north-south connection between Tank Farm and Buckley), 19-4 (Bypass and Buckley connection to Higuera), P-5 (Residential/open-space mix near Los Verdes condos), Q-2 (policy to review MASP density), R-3 (mixed use at Broad/Tank Farm), and S-3 (Avila Ranch concept) as a planning area with policy direction that will guide future development. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 7 (JOHNSON/BROAD AREA) OF THE PRESENTATION: Steve Delmartini, SLO, supported upzoning the area between Lawrence and Mitchell on the west side, previously changed from R-2 to R-1, R-2 again. He stated this area could accommodate secondary dwellings behind existing dwellings. Erik Justesen, business owner, supported the inclusion of the Broad Street plan. He noted a need to connect the east and west sides of the city. He stated that more railroad overcrossings were needed all the way to Orcutt Road but do not need to be vehicular. He supported slowing Broad Street traffic. Charlene Rosales, SLO Chamber of Commerce, supported including the Broad Street Area plan as part of the update. She stated that the Chamber is supportive of senior housing and facilities in the area behind General Hospital. Eugene Jud, SLO, commended the Broad Street plan and noted the need for more pedestrian bridges over the railroad tracks. He stated that Bishop Street is very steep, which makes it difficult to integrate with Santa Barbara Road with the Fire Department facility there. He stated that the neighborhood would probably not support it. There were no further comments made from the public. PH1 - 184 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 9 COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 7 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Stevenson supported keeping the railroad overpass at Orcutt due to concerns of rail activity. He agreed that Bishop Street connection is steep and getting over the railroad tracks and down would be difficult. He supported consideration of bikes and pedestrian crossings, but not vehicles. Commr. Draze supported keeping the Bishop Street connection in for consideration along with the railroad overpass. He stated that the Commission needs to recommend strongly that the City Council consider inclusion of the Broad Street plan. Commr. Larson agreed with Commr. Stevenson in supporting the Orcutt road overpass and predicted that more oil will be transported by train in the future. He agreed that the Broad Street plan should be looked at again. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, seconded by Commr. Larson, the Planning Commission recommended the Council include evaluation of the consequences of eliminating the Bishop Street bridge, withdraw the alternative of eliminating the Orcutt Road overpass, provide policy direction for I-3 (area behind General Hospital), and strongly endorsed the inclusion of the Broad Street Area plan with changes to address removal of the McMillan/Duncan area and provisions for non-conforming uses as part of the update. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. SLIDE 8 (PROPERTY OWNER REQUESTS RECEIVED): There were no comments made from the public. There were no comments made from the Commission. Planning Commission direction agreed with staff recommendation to develop policies to guide evaluation of individual up-zoning requests. COMMENT AND DISCUSSION: 3. Staff a.

As you know, on their behalf, we have provided input to the Planning Commission as they reviewed the Task Force recommendations for the School District’s properties – Site C. “Old” Pacheco Elementary and Site M. Pacific Beach High School. We are in receipt of the Mayor’s recent correspondence and appreciate her acknowledgement that the School District is a key partner in the community and accept her request to provide additional feedback with regards to whether the proposed land use alternatives further or hinder the District’s goals. Pursuant to our recent meeting with you and Business Superintendent Pinkerton, and in light of the upcoming Council hearing to determine the scope of the environmental document for the LUCE process, please be advised of the following comments. While we clearly appreciate that the LUCE is a long-range planning effort, we hope that this information will provide you and the Council with the clear direction as to the disposition of the School District properties. Site C – “Old” Pacheco Elementary The LUCE Task Force and the Planning Commission have recommended four different land use scenarios for this property: 1) existing General Plan designation – Public Facilities; 2) Low-density residential; 3) a combination of low-density and medium-density residential; and 4) Medium-density residential with a fair portion of the property designated as park. While the School District will soon embark upon a new student demographic statistical forecast, they know that enrollment has increased by three percent over the past three years following a ten-year steady decline in enrollment. Given this trend, it would be prudent to retain Pacheco Elementary at its current General Plan designation, until such a determination has been made to convert it to another use. While an even higher density residential land use than currently proposed in the LUCE alternatives would seem appropriate, at this time it is the School District’s desire to eliminate consideration of Site C from the LUCE and related environmental process. PH1 - 187 OASIS ASSOCIATES, INC. 01 October 2013 SLCUSD PROPERTIES – LUCE PROCESS Page 2 of 2 3427 Miguelito Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805.541.4509 p 805.546.0525 f www.oasisassoc .com CP 018415 ● RLA 2248 ● CLARB 907 Site M – Pacific Beach High School The LUCE Task Force and the Planning Commission have recommended four different land use scenarios for this property: 1) existing General Plan designation – Public Facilities; 2) a combination of low-density residential, commercial retail, office and a park; 3) Mixed-use (housing and commercial) and a park; and 4) Medium high density residential and a park. Based upon the age and condition of the existing structures, and the substantial increase in incompatible commercial development along the Los Osos Valley Road corridor, the School District is interested in placing this property in its Master Plan for Surplus Property and Revenue Enhancement Program. Guidance to accomplish this is provided by the Education Code1 that codifies the procedures for the disposition of real property. Our analysis of the “best and highest use” for the property revealed that the Commercial Retail (CR) land use category, that also allows for a maximum residential density of 36 units/acre (note that this property is in the Airport Land Use Plan/Airport Safety Area S-2 that limits residential density to 12 units/acre), may be an appropriate land use designation given the context of the mix of uses in the neighborhood. The School District would agree to changing the zoning to CR as part of the LUCE process, as long as there is an acknowledgement that there is absolutely no interest on the School District’s part to include a public park2 on the subject property. We hope that this clarifies the School District’s position on the above-mentioned properties and will allow you to complete your recommendation to the City Council. We will continue to monitor the LUCE planning process. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any additional information.

Foothill Boulevard @ Santa Rosa Street or the Complete Streets 1. Pedestrian Access Near Foothill Boulevard and 2. Vehicular Access Near Foothill Boulevard, we have conducted an extensive search for a residential mixed-use development partner1 and with that search, completed a fairly exhaustive and comprehensive economic feasibility analysis to design, permit and construct a mixed-use (residential/commercial) project. The results were certainly enlightening, but at the same time, extremely disappointing. Many factors contributed to the conclusion of infeasibility: land cost, entitlement and permit fees; construction costs; and lastly, the ability to generate revenues to compensate for the initial capital outlay. At this juncture, NKT is poised to pursue a project reflective of the current zoning (Commercial Retail/“CR”) and the zone’s allowable uses, that are very similar to the LUCE Update alternative B-2. Redevelopment of the Commercial Center. We are currently in the planning phase of that effort and anticipate lodging an application in a matter of months. Based upon our client’s intentions, it would seem unnecessary to include the subject property and the various LUCE Update iterations in the Council’s deliberation about the scope of work for the environmental document. With regards to the traffic and circulation alternatives, we would of course continue to have an interest in how the City intends to move forward with the noted improvements. As planners, we appreciate that the LUCE Update is a long-range planning effort, one that the City must revisit now and again to refresh the community vision and hopefully, be responsive to the financial realities of the marketplace. We hope that this information will provide you and the Council with the clear direction as to the University Square properties. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any additional information. 1 We interviewed/reviewed a total of six (6) proposals, two from the nation’s top multi‐family residential  development companies.   PH1 - 189 OASIS ASSOCIATES, INC. 2 October 2013 UNIVERSITY SQUARE – LUCE UPDATE PROCESS Page 2 of 2 3427 Miguelito Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805.541.4509 p 805.546.0525 f www.oasisassoc .com CP 018415 ● RLA 2248 ● CLARB 907 Respectfully, OASIS ASSOCIATES, INC.

The Trust owns property on the north and south sides of Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR), adjacent to and west of Los Verdes Park. These properties are collectively known as Site P. LOVR Creekside Area in the City’s LUCE process. The intent of this letter is to provide you with the Trust’s opinion with regards to the alternative land use scenarios recommended by the Task Force and Planning Commission. The LUCE Task Force and the Planning Commission have recommended five different land use alternatives for these properties: 1) existing General Plan designation – Interim Open Space and Open Space; 2) Medium high residential, agriculture and open space; 3) Low density residential, agriculture and open space; 4) Agriculture and open space; and 5) Medium high density, low density residential and open space. In addition, the property located south of LOVR, is noted on Circulation 19. LOVR Buckley Road Connection – 19.2 LOVR Bypass Alignment. While the properties are constrained by a number of factors, we believe that the “best and highest use” for both parcels would be medium high density residential (“RMHD”). This greater density would help to mitigate for the City’s desire to take a portion of the southerly parcel to accommodate the LOVR bypass to Buckley Road and the additional open space, which effectively reduces the developable area. We hope that this clarifies the Trust’s position on the above-mentioned properties and, in turn, will allow you to complete your recommendation to the City Council. We will continue to monitor the LUCE planning process. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please contact us should you have any questions or require any additional information.

As you know, on their behalf, we have provided input to the Planning Commission as they reviewed the Task Force recommendations for the School District's properties - Site C. "Old" Pacheco Elementary and Site M. Pacific Beach High School. We are in receipt of the Mayor's recent conespondence and appreciate her acknowledgement that the School District is a key partner in the community and accept her request to provide additional feedback with regards to whether the proposed land use alternatives further or hinder the District's goals. Pursuant to our recent meeting with you and Business Superintendent Pinkerton, and in light of the upcoming Council hearing to determine the scope of the environmental document for the LUCE process, please be advised of the following comments. While we clearly appreciate that the LUCE is a long-range planning effoft, we hope that this information will provide you and the Council with the clear direction as to the disposition of the School District properties, Site C - 66Old" Pacheco Elementary The LUCE Task Force and the Planning Commission have recommended four different land use scenarios for this property: l) existing General Plan designation - Public Facilities; 2) Low-density residential; 3) a combination of low-density and medium-density residential; and 4) Medium-density residential with a fair porlion of the properly designated as park. While the School District will soon embark upon a new student demographic statistical forecast, they know that enrollment has increased by three percent over the past three years following a ten-year steady decline in enrollment. Given this trend, it would be prudent to retain Pacheco Elementary at its current General Plan designation, until such a determination has been made to convert it to another use. While an even higher density residential land use than curently proposed in the LUCE alternatives would seem appropriate, at this time it is the School District's desire to eliminate consideration of Site C from the LUCE and related environmental process. 3427 Miguelito Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805,541.4509 p 805,546,0525 f www,oasisassoc,com AGENDA CORRESPONDENCE DaJp toll6l Þttem# PtlJ CP 018415 .

Based upon the age and condition of the existing structures, and the substantial increase in incompatible commercial development along the Los Osos Valley Road corridor, the School District is interested in placing this properfy in its Master Plan for Surplus Properly and Revenue Enhancement Program. Guidance to accomplish this is provided by the Education Coder that codifìes the procedures for the disposition of real property. Our analysis of the "best and highest use" for the properly revealed that the Commercial Retail (CR) land use category, that also allows for a maximum residential density of 36 units/acre (note that this properfy is in the Airporl Land Use Plan/Airport Safety Area S-2 that limits residential density to l2 units/acre), may be an appropriate land use designation given the context of the mix of uses in the neighborhood. The School District would agree to changing the zoning to CR as part of the LUCE process, as long as there is an acknowledgement that there is absolutely no interest on the School District's paft to include a public park2 on the subject property, We hope that this clarifies the School District's position on the above-mentioned properties and will allow you to complete your recommendation to the City Council.

The word "should" must be replaced in practically all cases with the \ ¡ord "must", The ne\ /er development of actually declining traffic volumes is not reflected in the proposal. Times and traffic projections have changed dramatically as most traffic forecasters know by now. Also the old time frame must be adapted and the correct word for RTA must be used under section 1.6. For the traffic model the council must quickly state whether they believe in: a) zero traffic growth by 2035 b) moderate traffic growth c) high traffrc growth d) negative traflic growth. Thank you for considering this input." Thank you very much, Eugene Jud p.s. Blayne: feel free to send this out to the SLO 2050 group. Thanks.

RECOMMENDATION As recommended by the Planning Commission and the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements update (TF-LUCE) endorse the physical alternatives presented for further evaluation through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). DISCUSSION Background The Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) update process is being funded through an $880,000 Strategic Growth Council Grant. When the City Council approved the application for the grant and the subsequent consultant contract, the Council augmented the defined scope of work with direction to staff to approach the LUCE update as a focused one. Council’s direction was to address community issues but to not significantly alter the policy direction that is based on values that were reaffirmed in the Council’s continuation of the current goals as the filter for proposing any changes. The Council’s statements reflected that many of the factors making our city the happiest in North America are incorporated in our present Land Use Element which serves our city well by protecting our quality of life and fiscal sustainability.1 To date, the Land Use and Circulation Element Update (LUCE) process has been focused on garnering input from the community regarding issues, opportunities and vision for the future of the City. Information provided through the community survey, workshops, open houses, advisory bodies and ideas offered on-line were used by the consultant team, staff, the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Element update (TF-LUCE), and the Planning Commission to identify areas of potential physical change in the upcoming 20 years. This information will also inform the policy review and development phase of the update. Tonight’s discussion with the Council focuses on identifying the potential physical changes to further evaluate through the environmental review process. The sites for both land use changes and circulation connections were plotted and considered at a workshop held on June 1st (Attachment 6: Workshop summary). Subsequent to the workshop, the TF-LUCE considered input on the physical alternatives to be further evaluated as part of the LUCE update from the workshop, information from the community survey, testimony from attendees, and 1 Mayor Marx memo to Council, item B-1, and minutes January 17, 2012 (Attachments 1 and 2) Meeting Date Item Number 10-15-2013 PH 1 PH1 - 1 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 2 input from residents and other stakeholders garnered through MindMixer (an online public input tool) and other sources on June 27th, July 1st and July 9th (Attachments 7-9: TF-LUCE minutes. The Planning Commission further reviewed the Task Force recommendations on July 24th and August 14th (Attachments 10-11: Planning Commission minutes) and confirmed or slightly amended the options to be forwarded for further evaluation. The Planning Commission’s recommended alternatives will be presented to the Council along with basic information regarding the fiscal balance of land uses for consideration and identification of a “preferred alternative” set. Attachments 1 and 2 provide a summary of the recommendations of physical alternatives from the Planning Commission along with notations of how those recommendations correspond to the TF-LUCE recommendations. The final package of alternatives identified by Council will be fully evaluated along with proposed policy changes currently under development through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Council is scheduled to review proposed policy changes in early 2014. The current discussion is focused on alternatives for physical change. The TF-LUCE recently began their evaluation of existing policies with review of a legislative draft of the Circulation Element. This review is expected to occur through late fall. The Council is being asked to review the TF- LUCE and Planning Commission recommendations for physical alternatives and to confirm or amend those alternatives as the “preferred alternative” set to be evaluated through the EIR process. Alternatives The Planning Commission reviewed Task Force recommendations and confirmed potential land use changes and areas where circulation changes might be appropriate. Attachments 3 and 4 provide a summary of Task Force and Planning Commission determinations on the alternatives. The community was presented with 19 land use alternatives and 19 circulation alternatives at a workshop held on June 1st. Of the 19 land use alternatives, the Council took separate action on the South Broad Street Corridor Plan area on September 17, 2013 to include the draft plan as part of the alternatives to consider through the EIR process. Attachment #6 provides a summary of the workshop input considered by both the TF-LUCE and the Planning Commission. In addition to the June 1st workshop input, both the Task Force and Planning Commission evaluated the alternatives in light of input from previous workshops, the community wide survey, the Land Use and Circulation elements goals, and input from open houses and on-line survey tools. Staff will be describing the alternatives in greater detail as part of the staff presentation and will also present high-level fiscal and circulation information. Property owners of four of the properties under consideration have submitted letters for the Council to consider as part of identifying physical alternatives (Attachments 12-14). The following summarizes the input from these four property owners: • The San Luis Coastal Unified School District has asked that the Old Pacheco School site be eliminated from consideration until the District has determined it should be converted to another use. PH1 - 2 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 3 • The San Luis Coastal Unified School District has also requested that the Council consider Commercial Retail uses for the Pacific Beach site rather than the Mixed Use and park uses suggested by the Planning Commission. • KFK Family Trust, the owner of property along both sides of Los Osos Valley Road near Hwy 101, has indicated support for the property being designated to support Medium High Density Residential. • The owner of the property at Foothill and Santa Rosa, University Square LLC, provided a letter that indicates a desire to develop according to the current zoning and anticipates submitting an application within the upcoming months. Staff will be prepared to respond to each in the context of the presentation of alternatives at the hearing. Update Process The physical alternatives comprise one part of the update and reflect areas where changes in land use designations or intensity or type of development may occur over the upcoming 20 years. The physical alternatives also reflect where circulation connections should change or where the nature of the type of connection is changing. Once the Council has determined the set of physical alternatives that should be forwarded for consideration as part of the process, this set becomes the “preferred alternative” and is used as part of the project description for purposes of environmental review. The Council’s approval of the resolution does not approve the alternatives, the action provides that more analysis (i.e. fiscal and environmental, etc) is needed in order to make any final determinations. Since Council identified the update to the General Plan as a focused one – intended to address infill opportunities, changes in legislation, and the need to refresh existing policy direction to reflect current values – many of the areas of physical change will not result in dramatic differences in the City’s form. However there are several areas where more significant changes are anticipated, primarily Dalidio, Avila Ranch, and the Madonna properties. These areas have been identified by the Planning Commission (supported by recommendations from the TF-LUCE) as ones that are appropriate for more detailed policy development to guide the future development of the areas based on their location and constraints. The Land Use and Circulation elements will include proposed physical alternatives and proposed policy changes to form the project description that will be reviewed through an Environmental Impact Report. The graphic below shows the milestones completed to date and the process moving forward. Endorsing a set of physical alternatives for further review is a key objective to complete in the update process. PH1 - 3 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 4 Staff recommends the Council consider public input and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements update (TF-LUCE) and endorse the physical alternatives proposed as the preferred alternative set to be further evaluated through an Environmental Impact Report. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental review will occur once a project description has been developed. The project description will include a combination of proposed physical changes and proposed policy changes associated with the LUCE update. FISCAL IMPACT The Land Use and Circulation Elements update have been funded in part by a grant from the Strategic Growth Council ($880,000) and in part through General Funds ($430,000) as part of the 2011-13 Financial Plan. Activities to date have been fully covered by these encumbered funds and progress on the update is within budget and on-time. Fiscal impacts of any changes proposed to land use or infrastructure will be evaluated as part of the update process so that the City’s General Plan is one that is fiscally balanced. PH1 - 4 LUCE Update - Physical Alternatives Page 5 ALTERNATIVES 1. The Council could identify additional alternatives for consideration or could modify or alter alternatives recommended by the Planning Commission. Specific direction to staff would be required. 2. The Council could continue the item so that additional information could be provided. If this option is chosen, specific direction to staff would be needed and Council may need to identify a special meeting in order to maintain timely progress on the update project. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Council ha s repeatedly stated that the process is to be resident-centered . Making it so, startin g tonight, will allow the LUCE Update to be truly owned and affirmed by residents . It also will allow the process to proceed in an orderly, timely manner . A . Land Use and Circulation Elements UpdateTask Force 1. It should be called the Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) Task Force . (Using a different title is confusing). 2. The Task Force should consist of residents of the City of San Luis Obispo in al l categories . If a given stakeholder group does not have any city residents willing to serve , then it can just submit comments and testify . 3. Members should also be volunteers, not paid advocates . Selection should reflec t geographical distribution of residents, living throughout the city . 4. All residents should receive information about how to participate at the ver y beginning of the process, possibly as a hand out in the utility bills . 5. Selection of members should not be delegated to organizations, but should b e done by council . Council should take open applications, like the advisory bod y applications, including resumes . 6. It should have equal representation from the environment, neighborhood an d business communities . It should be chaired by a Planning Commissioner . 7. There is no reason to limit membership to 13 . The City Manager's Economi c Sustainability group had nearly 30 people on it and worked well . Other cities hav e varying numbers of participants . 8. In any category, overlapping experience--such as in land use and planning, th e law, advisory groups, local history, real estate, social services, education, the economy , technology, natural resources, conservation, healthy communities, agriculture , transportation, recreation, the arts or non-profit organizations and other relevant expertise—should be considered a "plus" in selection of members . It is not needed t o have a person representing Cal Poly (a state agency), or any other state agency on th e Task Force, but a resident who works at a state agency could have special insight whic h could be useful . PH1 - 6 9. Subcommittees of like expertise could caucus and do outreach at their discretion , and then present comments to whole task force . 10. The task force should proceed by vote (recorded) not by forced consensus, with minority reports possible, if need be . Conflicting points of view from various interes t groups need to be surfaced, not buried, so that Council has comprehensive information before it when making the final decisions . B . Land Use and Circulation Elements UpdateProcess . 1. This is a focused update . We do not need to fix what is not broken . The updat e needs to address actual problems . Many of the factors making our city the happiest i n North America are incorporated in our present LUE . It serves our city well by protectin g our quality of life and fiscal sustainability . 2. The process should begin with workshops in the neighborhoods, occurring during the same time that the new questionnaire is in the hands of residents . It should be i n writing and should be based on the 1988 questionnaire, with additional updated question s if need be . Workshops and questionnaires input should take place before the LUC E Taskforce is formed or meets . 3. Council members should read the elements and give input to staff regarding wha t does and does not need changing. Staff should identify what language it thinks needs t o be updated, with documentation of said need . 4. Review of the Elements should be recognizably based on the present document , keeping the same numbering whenever possible . It should proceed in an orderly, sectio n by section, line by line, basis, so that everyone is given adequate notice of exactly wha t language will be considered and when . Everyone needs to know at every stage exactly what language is being proposed for deletion (strike out), or addition (underlined), and by whom . 5. Once the decisions about any proposed language changes in a given section ar e made by Council, there should be no going back and reconsidering said changes . 6. Definitions of terms should be consistent with the present LUCE and an y proposed changes should be treated as any other proposed language changes in publi c hearings .

In this context, they are meant to express the community's preferences for basic future directions. In the goal statements, "San Luis Obispo" means the community as a whole, not just the City as a municipal corporation. The statements also indicate what the City should do and what it should influence others to do. The goals state San Luis Obispo's basic positions on the extent, rate, composition, and financing of growth. The following Growth Management section includes policies and programs which offer more specific guidance on these topics. Later sections, dealing with parts of the City and with land-use categories, give more detailed direction on preserving neighborhoods and designing new development. Approach to Planning San Luis Obispo should: 1. Choose its future, rather than let it happen. San Luis Obispo should be proactive in implementing its vision of the future, and should work with other agencies and institutions to create our desired mutual future. Environment San Luis Obispo should: 2. Protect and enhance the natural environment, including the quality of air, water, soil, and open space. 3. Protect, sustain, and where it has been degraded, enhance wildlife habitat on land surrounding the city, at Laguna Lake, along creeks and other wetlands, and on open hills and ridges within the city, so that diverse, native plants, fish, and animals can continue to live within the area. 4. Protect public views of the surrounding hills and mountains. 5. Recognize the importance of farming to the economy of the planning area and the county, protect agriculture from development and from incompatible uses, and protect remaining undeveloped prime agricultural soils. 6. Protect and restore natural landforms and features in and near the city, such as the volcanic morros, hillsides, marshes, and creeks. 7. Foster appreciation among citizens of the complex abundance of the planning area's environment, and of the need to respect natural systems. 8. Identify, map and monitor our community's natural assets to preserve and protect them. Society and Economy San Luis Obispo should be a well balanced community. Environmental, social, and economic factors must be taken into account in important decisions about San Luis Obispo's future. A healthy economy depends on a healthy environment. The social fabric of the community for both residents and visitors must also be a part of that balance. Therefore, complementary to the goals and objectives of this element, the City shall maintain and bi-annually review goals and objectives that promote the economic well being of the community. San Luis Obispo should: 9. Provide employment opportunities appropriate for area residents' desires and skills. PH1 - 19 Land Use THE GENERAL PLAN 1-15 10. Provide goods and services which substantial numbers of area residents leave the area regularly to obtain, provided doing so is consistent with other goals. 11. Retain existing businesses and agencies, and accommodate expansion of existing businesses, consistent with other goals. 12. Emphasize more productive use of existing commercial buildings and land areas already committed to urban development. 13. Provide an adequate revenue base for local government and public schools. 14. Provide high quality public services, ensuring that demands do not exceed resources and that adequate facilities and services can be provided in pace with development. 15. Cooperate with other agencies in the county to assure that increases in the numbers of workers and college and university students in the San Luis Obispo area do not outpace housing availability. 16. Accommodate residents within all income groups. 17. Preserve existing housing which is affordable to residents with very low, low, and moderate incomes. 18. Actively seek ways to provide housing which is affordable to residents with very low, low, and moderate incomes, within existing neighborhoods and within expansion areas. 19. Encourage opportunities for elder care and child care within the city. 20. Enrich community cultural and social life by accommodating people with various backgrounds, talents, occupations, and interests. 21. Provide a resilient economic base, able to tolerate changes in its parts without causing overall harm to the community. 22. Have developments bear the costs of resources and services needed to serve them, except where the community deliberately chooses to help pay in order to achieve other community goals. 23. Provide for high quality education and access to related services such as museums, art galleries, public art, and libraries. 24. Serve as the county's hub for: county and state government; education; transportation; visitor information; entertainment; cultural, professional, medical, and social services; community organizations; retail trade. 25. Provide a wide range of parks and sports and recreational facilities for the enjoyment of our citizens. 26. Retain accessible, responsive, and capable local government. 27. Ensure that residents' opportunities for direct participation in City government and their sense of community can continue. City Form San Luis Obispo should: 28. Maintain the town's character as a small, safe, comfortable place to live, and maintain its rural setting, with extensive open land separating it from other urban development. 29. Maintain existing neighborhoods and assure that new development occurs as part of a neighborhood pattern. 30. Keep a clear boundary between San Luis Obispo's urban development and surrounding open land. 31. Grow gradually outward from its historic center until its ultimate boundaries are reached, maintaining a compact urban form. PH1 - 20 Land Use THE GENERAL PLAN 1-16 32. Foster an awareness of past residents and ways of life, and preserve our heritage of historic buildings and places. 33. Develop buildings and facilities which will contribute to our sense of place and architectural heritage. 34. Develop buildings and places which complement the natural landscape and the fabric of neighborhoods. 35. Focus its government and cultural facilities and provide a variety of business services and housing in the downtown. 36. Provide a safe and pleasant place to walk and ride a bicycle, for recreation and other daily activities. 37. Be a safe place to live. PH1 - 21 Circulation THE GENERAL PLAN 2-8 1.5 Goals and objectives Goals and objectives describe desirable conditions. In this context, they are meant to express the community's preferences for current and future conditions and directions. In the following statements, San Luis Obispo means the community as a whole, not just the city as a municipal corporation. Transportation Goals 1. Maintain accessibility and protect the environment throughout San Luis Obispo while reducing dependence on single-occupant use of motor vehicles, with the goal of achieving State and Federal health standards for air quality. 2. Reduce people's use of their cars by supporting and promoting alternatives such as walking, riding buses and bicycles, and using car pools. 3. Provide a system of streets that are well-maintained and safe for all forms of transportation. 4. Widen and extend streets only when there is a demonstrated need and when the projects will cause no significant, long-term environmental problems. 5. Make the downtown more functional and enjoyable for pedestrians. 6. Promote the safe operation of all modes of transportation. 7. Coordinate the planning of transportation with other affected agencies such as San Luis Obispo County, Cal Trans, and Cal Poly. 8. Reduce the need for travel by private vehicle through land use strategies, telecommuting and compact work weeks. Overall Transportation Strategy Meet the transportation needs of current and planned-for population by: 1. Managing city and regional growth consistent with the Land Use Element; 2. Funding alternative forms of transportation; 3. Sponsoring traffic reduction activities; 4. Providing the infrastructure needed to accommodate the desired shift in transportation modes; 5. Focusing traffic on Arterial Streets and Regional Routes and Highways; 6. Accepting some additional traffic on Arterial Streets and Regional Routes and Highways; 7. Providing facilities that improve transportation safety. Transportation Objectives 1.6 Encourage Better Transportation Habits San Luis Obispo should: 1.Increase the use of alternative forms of transportation (as shown on Figure #1) and depend less on the single-occupant use of vehicles. 2.Ask the San Luis Obispo Regional Transportation Agency to establish an objective similar to #1 and support programs that reduce the interregional use of single- occupant vehicles and increase the use of alternative forms of transportation. 1.7 Promote Alternative Forms of Transportation San Luis Obispo should: 1.Complete a network of bicycle lanes and paths, sidewalks and pedestrian paths within existing developed parts of the city by 2000, and extend the system to serve new growth areas. 2.Complete improvements to the city's transit system serving existing developed areas by 2000, and provide service to new growth areas. PH1 - 22 Circulation THE GENERAL PLAN 2-9 3.Support the efforts of the County Air Pollution Control District to implement traffic reduction programs. 4. Support and develop education programs directed at promoting types of transportation other than the single-occupant vehicle. 1.8 Manage Traffic San Luis Obispo should: 1. Limit traffic increases by managing population growth and economic development to the rates and levels stipulated by the Land Use Element and implementing regulations. Limit increases in ADT and VMT to the increase in employment within the City's Urban Reserve. 2. Support county-wide programs that manage population growth to minimize county- wide travel demand. 3. Support county-wide programs that support modal shift while utilizing our existing road system and reducing air pollution and traffic congestion. 4. Provide a system of streets that allow safe travel and alternate modes of transportation throughout the city and connect with Regional Routes and Highways. 5. Manage the use of Arterial Streets, Regional Routes and Highways so that traffic levels during peak traffic periods do not result in extreme congestion, increased headways for transit vehicles, or unsafe conditions for pedestrians or bicyclists. 6. Ensure that development projects and subdivisions are designed and/or retrofitted to be efficiently served by buses, bike routes and pedestrian connections. 7. Consistent with the Land Use Element, allow neighborhood-serving business and provide parks and recreational areas that can be conveniently reached by pedestrians or bicyclists. 8. Protect the quality of residential areas by achieving quiet and by reducing or controlling traffic routing, volumes, and speeds on neighborhood streets. 9. Coordinate the management of San Luis Obispo County Airport and the planning of land uses around the airport to avoid noise and safety problems. 1.9 Support Environmentally Sound Technological Advancement San Luis Obispo should: 1. Promote the use of quiet, fuel-efficient vehicles that produce minimum amounts of air pollution. A. The City will continue to support the use and development of compressed natural gas fueling stations in the San Luis Obispo area. B. When replacing any City vehicle or expanding the City's vehicle fleet, the City will consider purchasing alternative fuel vehicles that reduce air pollution. C. The City encourages the use of alternative fuels on a regional basis. 2.

Dave Juhnke, Chris Richardson, Rob Rossi, Sandra Rowley, Carla Saunders, Sharon Whitney, Chuck Crotser (arrived at 6:55 pm), Vice- Chairperson Pierre Rademaker, and Chairperson Eric Meyer Absent: Task Force Member Matt Quaglino Staff: Community Development Director Derek Johnson, Deputy Director of Community Development Kim Murry, Associate Planner James David, Principal Transportation Planner Peggy Mandeville, and Recording Secretary Dawn Rudder ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGENDA: The agenda was accepted as amended. MINUTES: Minutes of May 14, 2013, were approved as presented. Minutes of June 19, 2013, were approved as presented. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Jeffrey Specht, San Luis Obispo, voiced that the illegal lodging tickets he has been receiving constitute harassment and unnecessary ticketing on the City’s part. He asked the Committee’s help in talking to anyone they can regarding this issue. Dave Kuykendall, San Luis Obispo, indicated that the LUCE workshops were excellent. He expressed that traffic calming in neighborhood is desirable but is concerned with the circulation concerning Johnson, Marsh, and Higuera Streets. He urged the Committee to discourage cut-through traffic in residential areas and direct traffic to the arterial streets. Chris Hoover, San Luis Obispo, opposes Buchon as a one-way street and is also concerned that traffic should be routed to the arterial streets. Bill Casella, San Luis Obispo, offered that speed bumps are not effective and urged the Committee to come up with a better circulation plan utilizing Marsh and Higuera Streets so traffic will be routed off of Buchon Street. There were no further comments made from the public. PH1 - 136 TF-LUCE Minutes June 27, 2013 Page 2 Kim Murry, Deputy Director of Community Development, presented the question of whether the Task Force wishes to request the Council appoint additional members to replace the three members who have resigned. Task Force members discussed the TF-LUCE guidelines which call for an odd number of members and also expressed concerns that it would be difficult for a new member to understand the input and discussions that have occurred over the last year. Chairperson Meyer voiced support of adding a young voice to the group. The Task Force consensus was to support the existing size of the Task Force and not to request Council appoint additional members at this time. DISCUSSION ITEMS: CIRCULATION ALTERNATIVE Chairperson Meyer requests the Task Force consider a request to consider circulation item #5 ahead of other items in response to an attendee’s request. 5. Higuera and Marsh Street Peggy Mandeville, Transportation Planner, pointed out that residents have voiced concerns that Buchon not be converted to a one-way street. Being able to evaluate option of two way traffic will be important to understand how this affects overall circulation in this area. Task Force Members discussed intent of two-way access on Marsh and Higuera between Santa Rosa and Johnson and whether this would address traffic on residential streets. Task Force member Saunders expressed concern that Buchon residents were not individually notified of potential circulation changes. Peggy Mandeville offered that the neighborhood traffic efforts have involved the neighborhood prior to this effort. On motion by Task Force Member Pierre Rademaker, seconded by Walt Bremer, to forward an alternative of circulation option 5-3 of the Higuera/Marsh St. proposal. AYES: Task Force Members Bremer, Brown, Dandekar, Goetz, Juhnke, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, Rademaker and Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Task Force Member Rossi ABSENT: Task Force Members Quaglino and Crotser The motion passed on a 12:0 vote. Public Comments: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, urged the committee to review student proposals that locate the transit center at the Shell Station property located on Higuera/Monterey and PH1 - 137 TF-LUCE Minutes June 27, 2013 Page 3 Santa Rosa. This site can bring everything together in a better vision for the future that focuses more on pedestrians and bicycles. DISCUSSION ITEMS Workshop Feedback: Kim Murry described insights from the workshop offered to staff and asked for observations from the Task Force not noted in the agenda packet. Task Force member Saunders expressed concerns regarding workshop attendees and their lack of information given to them about proposed alternatives due to poster size limitations.. In addition, committee member Saunders offered that the number of Future Fair 2 workshop attendees did not reflect the same degree of participation as the 2012 LUCE Community Survey’s 2,200 household and business owner responses. LAND USE ALTERNATIVES Kim Murry presented a summary of the information provided to the Task Force and their role in evaluating the input and alternatives. The desired outcome will be to identify which alternatives should proceed for further evaluation. Committee Comments: Task Force member Carla Saunders was very uncomfortable with the Alternatives Newsletter and its failure to note the 2,200 responses to the LUCE Community Survey or the existing LUCE goals as screening criteria that will be used by City Staff and the Consultant Team in their comprehensive evaluation of the existing LUE and Circulation element goals, policies, and implementation programs. She noted that the policy evaluation considerations listed in the newsletter include extraordinarily broad items such as “consistency with SLOCOG efforts” and “Sustainable Communities grant- related items.” Chairperson Meyer indicated that alternatives being discussed will eventually fit together but that there are other policies that will need to be folded in such as the Climate Action Plan and other plans. Identify the overarching goal for the future vision. Derek Johnson indicated that the goals and vision were identified earlier in the process and this is what is being used to direct the effort. However, if other bigger visions are missing, this is the time to identify them. Sandra Rowley is not comfortable with the update being consistent with a regional vision such as SLOCOG versus what the residents of the city want to see occur. Task force Member Chuck Crotser arrived at 6:55 p.m. Derek Johnson, Community Development Director, indicated that staff and the consultant team will follow the direction of the Task Force that was confirmed by both the Planning Commission and Council; namely that the existing LUCE goals will be used to evaluate amendments to the general plan. He further noted that the newsletter PH1 - 138 TF-LUCE Minutes June 27, 2013 Page 4 is not a policy document and it will not be adopted. Mr. Johnson urged the Task Force to use all of the input received, including the survey and workshop input when evaluating alternatives. Task Force Member Saunders continued to express concerns with the alternatives newsletter. Task Force Member Rowley asked if Task Force could be provided with the list of what would be used to evaluate the amendments. Community Development Director Johnson indicated that the Task Force, Planning Commission and Council directed staff to use the existing Land Use and Circulation Element goals as screening criteria and those have been provided to the Task Force. Task Force members requested information for how student projects are incorporated into the review process and whether staff those ideas were reviewed when considering alternatives. Peggy Mandeville indicated that many of the student and community efforts have been provided to the consultant team. Chair Meyer indicated an interest in seeing some of the student projects that might propose more visionary ideas. A – Diocese Site on Daly Kim Murry indicated that this site has a deed provision that restricts use of the site to Church and church-related uses, and recommends that the Task Force remove this site from further evaluation of alternatives. On motion by Task Force Member Juhnke, seconded by Task Force Bremer, to remove this site from further consideration of land use alternatives. AYES: Task Force Members Bremer, Brown, Dandekar, Goetz, Juhnke, Richardson, Crotser, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, Rossi, Rademaker and Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Task Force Member Quaglino The motion passed on a 13:0 vote.

C - Pacheco elementary site Sharon Whitney made a motion to remove this site from consideration. She provided a handout with information stating that the neighborhood is broken, and 1) rezoning will not fix this site, 2) workshop results were bifurcated, 3) no clear consensus emerged from future fair, and 4) hotel would not be welcome in the area. On motion by Task Force Member Whitney, seconded by Task Force Member, to remove this site from further consideration.

E - Upper Monterey area: Staff presented that while there are no physical alternatives being discussed for this area, the Task Force is able to offer policy considerations for direction. Task Force member Rowley observed that if a conference center was to be located near the college campus, the student demographic would need to be understood when designing the facilities. Task Force Member Saunders pointed out that this property backs up to low density residential. Direction: Task Force members provided comments including the desirability for this area to host a conference center. Other ideas included use of parking district, street façade improvements, lot assembly to facilitate more dense development, making the area more pedestrian-friendly, addressing the appearance of properties in public ownership, and addressing the transit center location. F - Downtown Area: Derek Johnson commented that the downtown pedestrian plan is a product that will be coming to the Task Force at a future date.

The proposal includes bus staging areas on-street and reserves the block of Santa Rosa Street between Higuera and Monterey for bus, pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. The design provides an opportunity to make a plaza with amenities for pedestrians and bicyclists. Task Force Member Carla Saunders was not comfortable with the Alternatives Newsletter characterization of policy screening criteria since it fails to include the 2012 LUCE Community Survey responses. Community Development Director, Derek Johnson ensures the Task Force that the direction from the Task Force that was endorsed by both the Planning Commission and City Council to use the Land Use and Circulation Element Goals will be followed. DISCUSSION ITEMS: Schedule: Staff presented a schedule to the Task Force showing upcoming meetings for September 2013 through May 2014.

Alternatives: PH1 - 145 TF-LUCE Minutes July 1, 2013 Page 2 The Task Force continued their discussion of Land Use Alternatives for identified sites. Staff member Murry summarized the comments and general support for each alternative expressed at the workshop held on June 1st and requested Task Force direction. O. Madonna Property on Los Osos Valley Road COMMITTEE COMMENTS: The Task Force discussed environmental constraints and gateway views on the property and the types of uses that might be appropriate. The Task Force offered that neighborhood commercial might be more appropriate at this location rather than destination commercial uses. Task Force member Dandekar offered that a student-designed project for this location won a “Bank of America Affordable Housing Challenge” competition and the site can accommodate development while protecting environmentally sensitive areas. Task Force member Saunders cited the community survey as important input since over 50% of respondents favor preserving creeks, marshes and open space. Public Comment: John Madonna, property owner, offered that the area may accommodate a future off- ramp to Hwy 101 at Calle Joaquin.

COMMITTEE COMMENTS: Task Force members discussed the development entitled under County jurisdiction and whether the development is feasible given the need to provide on-site utilities. Several members expressed a desire to see the property annexed and developed within the City so that the City could have some influence over what gets developed on the property. PH1 - 150 TF-LUCE Minutes July 1, 2013 Page 7 The Task Force discussed the types of uses that might be viable given the development that has occurred on Los Osos Valley Road. Members also discussed the current Land Use Element policies that direct 50% of the site to be retained in open space, and the possibility that some flexibility regarding the 50% requirement might be appropriate if open space could be obtained in other locations in addition to the Dalidio property. Task Force members expressed that the property is a key visual gateway to the City with a valued agricultural character. Some members provided input that some development needed to be included in the alternative because a developer would not seek annexation of a property to be designated solely for agricultural uses. Rob Rossi left the meeting at 8:10 pm. Public Comment: No Public Comment On motion by Chuck Crotser, seconded by Russ Brown, to forward an alternative with a mix of uses with a significant open space/agricultural (at least 50%) component (alternative L-5 without the specific direction of particular sizes/shapes of uses).

COMMITTEE COMMENTS: Task Force members discussed ideas related to reconfiguration of development areas to bring agricultural uses closer to freeway. This would involve re-alignment of Calle Joaquin potentially to connect to other circulation links. Members discussed whether uses were more appropriate as Commercial Tourism or General Retail but did note that auto sales bring in tax revenue Derek Johnson, Community Development Director, comments that the City has engaged a consultant to conduct an economic analysis to in order to understand whether the lots are needed for future auto sales. PH1 - 151 TF-LUCE Minutes July 1, 2013 Page 8 Walter Bremer motions for mixed-use with swap of open space and agriculture land closer to the freeway, Chuck Crotser seconds.

Oceanaire Neighborhood connection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the options presented at the Future Fair 2 and results for Task Force discussion. Committee Comments: Task Force members discussed the input received from area residents that supports leaving the neighborhood connections as they exist today. Public Comments: Theo Jones, Oceanaire neighborhood, indicated that the neighbors in the area do not want a connection to Froom Ranch. Any connection to the neighborhood creates concerns about cut-through traffic. She acknowledged that Froom Ranch will go through to the northeast and expressed concerns about crossing the creek. PH1 - 153 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 2 On motion to by Goetz, seconded by Saunders, to withdraw alternative #14 from further consideration and leaving the Oceanaire neighborhood with the connections that currently exist.

Pedestrian Access near Foothill/Boysen/Santa Rosa Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, described the options presented at the Future Fair 2 and results for Task Force discussion. He described how closure of Boysen would allow more right-of-way to accommodate the bike and pedestrian crossing of Highway 1 and provide a better trailhead. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed the potential circulation impacts if Boysen is closed. Dave Juhnke observed that if Boysen is closed, traffic from development on Boysen will be pushed to the Chorro/Highland intersection which is already impacted. He indicated consideration of a Boysen closure in alternative #1 needs to be linked to realignment alternatives listed in #2. Jon Goetz questioned whether re-aligning Boysen to connect to Foothill would have an acceptable distance from the Foothill/Santa Rosa intersection. Chuck Crotser expressed the desire to keep some flexibility in the location of the over/underpass across Santa Rosa. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Brown to forward for consideration alternative 1-3 with flexibility in location of over/underpass and with consideration of all alternatives for Boysen including full closure, access restrictions, and retaining its current configuration.

Sandra Rowley expressed concerns about pulling traffic from higher-density housing in the area from Santa Rosa Street to neighborhood streets of Broad and Chorro. She also expressed concerns about late night bar traffic coming back through those neighborhoods to the Boysen developments. Carla Saunders expressed concerns about a tourist gateway at Santa Rosa and Foothill that will funnel traffic down Chorro and Broad Streets. She supports an overpass to connect across Santa Rosa but has concerns about re-aligning or closing Boysen. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Bremer, to forward alternative 2-3 (Chorro and Broad re-alignment) for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: Committee Members Rowley and Saunders RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 9:2 vote. 3. CA 1 and US 101 intersection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, presented a description of the current alignment of hook ramps to Highway 101 in existing neighborhoods and the option of redesigning a Hwy 1/101 interchange and closing the smaller ramps. He also clarified Caltrans role in the process and indicated that the state agency would not be able to force the City to close the smaller ramps. Committee Comments: Committee members questioned the impact of the larger interchange on Olive Street businesses and the changes to circulation patterns created by closing and consolidating on/off ramps. PH1 - 155 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 4 Committee Member Juhnke commented on the importance of the Route 1/Hwy 101 intersection from a tourism standpoint. Committee Member Crotser indicated that there may be unanticipated impacts to tourism due to closure of smaller ramps in that the current configuration brings travelers directly to the Mission and the downtown area. He observed that a way-finding signage program would be a key component of a new interchange. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Quaglino to forward alternative 3-2 for further evaluation, including impacts to residential streets and the need for a signage program. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 4. Broad Street and 101 ramps Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the option to close the ramps to Hwy 101 from both sides of Broad Street. This option is only available if the interchange discussed in alternative #3 occurs. Committee Comments: Committee Member Juhnke indicated a desire to see a connection across Hwy 101 at Broad for pedestrians and bikes. Hudson says bike plan shows a connection further to the south. Member Rowley questions whether a bike connection is needed at Broad when Chorro connection is available one block to the east. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Richardson to forward alternative 4-2 for evaluation with the addition of a bike and pedestrian overpass at this location. PH1 - 156 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 5 AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 6. Transit Center Location Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson presented the transit center alternative as a question of whether this is the appropriate location for this facility and indicated that the graphics showed that the center works regardless of whether the traffic is one way or two way on Higuera Street. Public Comment: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, reminded the Task Force of the students’ design for the transit center which he presented on July 1st. Mr. Jud expressed a preference to locate the transit center on the Shell Station property and to close the surrounding streets to vehicular traffic other than buses. He prefers to retain valuable land development and use the public right-of-way for buses, bicycles and pedestrians. Committee Comments: Chair Meyer expressed a preference for two-way traffic on Higuera Street to create different circulation downtown. Committee Member Juhnke questioned whether the slide showing the existing condition should also include the current location of the transit center adjacent to City Hall and the County building. Staff Member Hudson acknowledged that the existing condition should include both sites – the current development on Higuera as well as the existing transit center location. Chair Meyer expressed a strong desire to study location of the transit center within the public right of way. Committee Member Crotser indicated the Downtown Concept Plan shows strong pedestrian connections across Santa Rosa. There were no further comments made from the Committee. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Brown to forward an alternative that looks at this site/block of Higuera/Santa Rosa/Monterey for the location for the transit center and consider use of both public and private property. PH1 - 157 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 6 The evaluation is to consider ideas from student projects and the Downtown Concept Plan. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 7. Broad Street “Dogleg” Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson discussed the options for the area. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed circulation impacts of full street closures and whether temporary closures associated with events was more appropriate. The Committee discussed with staff the description of a “woonerf” and noticing and comments from those potentially impacted by street changes. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comment: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, indicated that street closures should occur where people are. He recommends closing a two-block area of Higuera Street for a trial period. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Bremer to forward alternatives 7-2 and 7-3 using a woonerf concept and not full closure of the streets for further evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 8. High/Pismo and Higuera Intersection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the circulation challenges associated with the current configuration of the streets PH1 - 158 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 7 Committee Comments: Committee Member Rowley suggested elongating the signal cones and new or longer crosswalk signals where needed to address circulation issues. Staff Member Hudson indicated that the signal housings were being modified but that it didn’t address the issue of awkward intersections and impacts to pedestrians and bicycles. Committee members clarified that option 8-3 would retain Pismo as a one-way street and not convert a portion to two-way traffic. They also confirmed that Walker Street would remain a two-way street. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Richardson to forward alternative 8-3 for further evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Saunders, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: Committee Members Rowley and Whitney RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 9:2 vote. 9. Madonna and Higuera Intersection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the option of aligning Madonna to Bridge Street. Committee Comments: Committee Member Juhnke expressed support for evaluating the alternative connection but without using roundabouts. Committee Member Rowley described support for the current configuration because it facilitates traffic movement turning from Higuera to Madonna without the need to stop at a signal. Committee Member Bremer indicated the more square intersection alignment assists bicycle and pedestrian movement across Higuera and Madonna. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. PH1 - 159 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 8 On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Quaglino, to forward alternative 9-2 for further evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Saunders, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: Committee Members Rowley and Whitney RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 9:2 vote. 10. Bishop Street Extension Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, explained that the current Circulation Element contains a bridge across the train tracks at Bishop Street to accommodate all modes of traffic. The alternative to the current condition is to evaluate the impact of eliminating the connection. Committee Comments: Committee Member Rowley expressed concern about impacts of a vehicular connection to the existing neighborhoods and supports a connection for pedestrians and bikes only. Committee Member Crotser expressed an interest in seeing reconstruction of the roundhouse incorporated into the design of the structure that is built. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comment: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, introduced the idea of induced demand where building the vehicular bridge will bring traffic into the neighborhoods. On motion by Committee Member Quaglino, seconded by Committee Member Richardson, to evaluate three options: 1. A bridge for all modes of traffic; 2. A bridge for bicycles and pedestrians only; and 3. Elimination of any connection at Bishop Street. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 11. 11 & 12 Victoria Avenue Connection and Broad Street circulation PH1 - 160 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 9 Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson discussed the potential circulation connections and changes in the area. Staff Member Murry clarified that options 11-2 and 11-3 are not mutually exclusive and that input from the workshop should be considered in light of how the options were presented. Committee Comments: Committee members questioned connectivity across Broad Street and potential access restrictions. There were no further comments made from the Committee. On motion by Committee Member Goetz, seconded by Committee Member Whitney, to forward alternatives 12-2 and 12-3 for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, and Whitney NOES: None RECUSED: Chairperson Meyer ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 10:0 vote (Meyer recused). 13. Orcutt Road Overpass Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson, described the alternative to evaluate removal of the grade separated crossing currently included in the Circulation Element. He noted that train traffic is currently about seven trains/day which represents a decrease since the Circulation Element was adopted. Staff is still seeking information from the Railroads regarding anticipated future train traffic. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed how grade separation would affect local streets and bicycle connectivity. Committee Member Richardson reminded the Task Force that future traffic will grow in this area due to planned development in the Orcutt Area, additional development at Laurel Creek, and build-out of community. Public Comments: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, indicated that another east-west connection exists at Tank Farm Road. There were no further comments made from the Committee. PH1 - 161 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 10 On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Whitney to forward alternative 13-1 eliminating the overpass on Orcutt Road for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 15. Prado Overpass/Interchange Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson presented circulation information regarding current need for an east-west connection and impacts to existing interchanges at Los Osos Valley and Madonna Roads. Committee Comments: Committee Member Quaglino indicated that if an interchange is needed now, there is no doubt that it will be required in the future as more development occurs over time and recommends keeping the full interchange as the preferred alternative. Chair Meyer questioned whether the upcoming upgrade to the Los Osos Valley Road interchange affects the need for a full interchange at Prado. Task Force Member Juhnke wants to keep the focus on the alternative of a full interchange. Community Development Director Johnson indicates a desire to see modeling of traffic impacts with both an overpass and full interchange options. Committee Member Bremer indicated that connectivity options associated with alternative 16 may impact whether the Task Force supports an overpass versus an interchange. Chair Meyer would like to see an overpass reserved for non-vehicular traffic to see how it will affect the transit model. Committee Member Juhnke will not support an overpass alternative that doesn’t accommodate cars. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, expressed a desire for an overpass that serves pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes only. He offered that this facility would serve as PH1 - 162 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 11 a gateway to city and would represent a forward-thinking community. Mr. Jud shared that traffic activity is staying level because the younger generation is not as car-centric. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Rowley to forward alternatives 15-2 (current plan) and 15-3 (overpass only) for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, and Whitney NOES: Chairperson Meyer and Committee Members Brown and Saunders RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 8:3 vote. 16. Froom Ranch/Calle Joaquin Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson discussed the connections from Froom Ranch Way extension and Calle Joaquin. Since development on the Dalidio property is unknown at this moment, it isn’t possible to describe specific locations of potential facilities. Input from Task Force can be general as to needed circulation connections. Committee Comments: Committee members discussed difficulty of making recommendations on circulation without knowing what development proposal may be coming forward. Chair Meyer prefers to move Calle Joaquin away from Hwy 101 frontage to preserve visual open space/agriculture corridor to be more consistent with character of community. Committee Member Saunders expressed concern about moving open space and agriculture. Committee Member Crotser favors limiting the amount of roads taking up space on property. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Juhnke, seconded by Committee Member Richardson to forward alternatives that evaluate whether one or more connections are needed to provide an additional north-south connection between Los Osos Valley Road and Prado/Dalidio; and whether an internal east-west or loop road is needed to connect those roads on the Dalidio property. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Richardson, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer PH1 - 163 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 12 NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on an 11:0 vote. 17. Vachell Road to Higuera Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the challenges and options for Vachell Road. Committee Comments: Committee members clarified interaction between this alternative and the Buckley Road connection to Higuera. Staff indicated that closing Vachell is not a viable option if Buckley does not connect to S. Higuera. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Rowley, seconded by Committee Member Juhnke, to evaluate 17-2 as a “back up” alternative in the event Buckley Road does not connect to S. Higuera. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Committee Member Richardson ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 10:0 vote (Richardson recused). 18. Tank farm Road to Buckley Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson presented the concept of an additional north- south connection between Tank Farm Road and Buckley which may be beneficial in the future to address connectivity for future development. Committee Comments: Committee Member Saunders favors alternative 18-2 over 18-3 due to creek crossing issues and wildlife corridors. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Goetz, seconded by Committee Member Juhnke, to forward alternative 18-2 for evaluation. PH1 - 164 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 13 AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Committee Member Richardson ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 10:0 vote (Richardson recused). 19. LOVR to Buckley Road and Bypass connection Traffic Programs Manager Jake Hudson described the alternatives and clarified that alternatives 19-2 and 19-3 were not mutually exclusive. The workshop input reflected this by identifying a third alternative to combine both alternatives as the preferred one. Committee Comments: Committee members had a brief discussion regarding benefits of both alternatives. There were no further comments made from the Committee. Public Comments: None. On motion by Committee Member Crotser, seconded by Committee Member Brown, to forward alternative 19-2 and 19-3 for evaluation. AYES: Committee Members Bremer, Brown, Crotser, Goetz, Juhnke, Quaglino, Rowley, Saunders, Whitney, and Chairperson Meyer NOES: None RECUSED: Committee Member Richardson ABSENT: Committee Members Dandekar, Rossi, and Vice-Chair Rademaker The motion passed on a 10:0 vote (Richardson recused). PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: Eugene Jud presented a two-page handout to the Task Force showing an alternative alignment and design width for Prado Road. He questioned the need of a four-lane Prado Road because of the anticipated size and capacity of Tank Farm and Buckley Roads. Committee Member Juhnke requested information regarding future Task Force composition given Chairperson Meyer’s impending resignation from the City Planning Commission and his role as the Planning Commission member participating on the TF- LUCE. Community Development Director Johnson explained that the item was not advertised as part of the Task Force agenda for the evening and hence the Task Force could not take any formal action. He explained that the Council would be providing policy PH1 - 165 TF-LUCE Minutes July 9, 2013 Page 14 direction on August 20th regarding the future composition of the task force. Committee members expressed their strong desire to not have new members added to the Task Force and asked Director Johnson to communicate that desire to the Council. SET TIME FOR NEXT TF-LUCE MEETING: September 18, 2013, at 6:00 p.m., in the Council Hearing Room.

ER 92-08: Introduction and review of the Draft EIR for the Chevron Tank Farm remediation and development project: Chevron Corporation, applicant. (Phil Dunsmore) Phil Dunsmore, Senior Planner, presented the staff report, recommending the Commission receive a presentation and public testimony and provide feedback on the Chevron project Draft EIR. He noted that a letter from the Chamber of Commerce had been received and was distributed to the Commission just prior to the meeting. Commr. Multari clarified with staff that the development agreement is a part of the project. Commr. Multari asked if all open areas will be restored and whether non-native species in areas not proposed for remediation will be removed. Mr. Dunsmore noted that the project description does not include addressing areas of the site that are not proposed for remediation or development. Commr. Fowler asked why no homes are planned in the project area. Mr. Dunsmore responded that the project area is in an airport safety zone. PH1 - 167 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 2 PUBLIC COMMENTS: Dan Sutton, San Luis Obispo, stated the project provides an opportunity for inclusion of recreation for youth. John Spatafore, San Luis Obispo, noted the opportunity for recreation, biking, and development of a commercial area that would attract light manufacturing. He stated that completion of Prado Road will improve emergency response times and provide better transportation flow. Doug Hoffman, San Luis Obispo, owner of a business at Tank Farm and Santa Fe, reconsidered his opposition to the roundabout, viewing it as one of several workable possibilities. He stated that the traffic flow all along Tank Farm Road should be considered as a whole. Dan Rivoire, Executive Director of the San Luis Bike Coalition, supports bike path development but stated that he does not think a class 1 and class 2 bike lane need to be parallel to each other on Tank Farm and that a protected class 2 would be preferred. Connectivity issues within the project and throughout the city need to be examined, especially the Broad Street/Tank Farm Road intersection and the roundabout. He said the Bike Coalition is concerned but supports going forward. Dave Garth, San Luis Obispo, expressed concern about the beneficial economic impact for the community and found nothing in the environmental impact report on that subject. He noted the opportunity to generate more head-of-household jobs. Ken Kienow, San Luis Obispo, supported bike lanes protected from traffic. He supports development of the project under City jurisdiction. Lea Brooks, San Luis Obispo, commended Chevron for taking on the project but expressed concern that the draft EIR is deficient. She noted the need to emphasize alternative modes of transportation and connectivity between Los Osos Valley Road and Broad Street for bicycles. She pointed out that there was no mention of how bicyclists will be affected by intersections and additional lanes on Tank Farm Road. She stated that the plan has a motor vehicle bias. Myron “Skip” Amerine, San Luis Obispo, supports bike lanes totally separated from traffic and addressing complete streets. He stated that adding lanes to Tank Farm will only cause higher speeds. He also expressed concern about concrete oil reservoir floors and soil that will be brought in. Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, was concerned about bike safety with the roundabout, and about the potential for creating a “little Los Angeles.” He stated that Broad Street to the airport is a totally car-oriented route with no public transportation to the airport. He asked if bicycle parking is addressed in the draft EIR. Ty Safreno, owner of a property next to the project; was concerned about infrastructure needs vs wants. He requested the source of data presented in support of roundabouts. He stated that San Luis Obispo has an aging population that may not deal well with PH1 - 168 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 3 roundabouts which he described as being contradictory for traffic flow in an industrial area. He supports the development of a business park to cluster industrial businesses. Tim Walters, principal with RRM Design Group, stated that AASP identifies a signal as the ultimate solution with a roundabout only an interim solution. He noted that the AASP breakdown of costs indicated that signalization was less expensive by about one million dollars. He noted that bicyclists and pedestrians would be negatively impacted by a roundabout in this particular location. Ermina Karim, San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce, reaffirmed the Chamber’s support for annexation because it is critical for this corridor to be a part of the City. She urged the City to enter into a suitable agreement with Chevron. Deborah Hoffman, co-owner of a business at Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe with her husband expressed concern with the roundabout the handling of traffic from Broad Street to South Higuera. She stated that calming traffic to 15 mph will result in gridlock. She noted a need for careful traffic study. She supported the proposed bike lanes but saw a need to address bicycle traffic moving north and south. Dawn Legg, San Luis Obispo, encouraged quick action for economic feasibility. Neal Havlik, former city employee who worked on open space, supported the project, and the deletion of the Unocal collector road. He stated that the open spaces make up a majority of the project but are not clearly dealt with in terms of dedication. He supported a conservation easement to preserve these open spaces. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commr. Stevenson expressed concern about the appropriateness of the roundabout and how it would work in this location. Commr. Multari was concerned about accurate project description (including the development agreement), in order to have a complete evaluation of potential environmental impacts, and noted that an addendum or supplement may be required later. He commended the draft EIR as a very good basis for the project. He stated there is a need to analyze different forms of transportation. He asked Senior Planner Dunsmore to elaborate on the presence of asbestos. Mr. Dunsmore stated there is a potential for naturally-occurring asbestos in serpentine rock on a hill in the project area, and mitigation is designed to minimize health risks. Commr. Fowler commended the project as part of the city. He expressed concern about well contamination if the project were to be developed in the county. He was also concerned about cultural impacts and the open space issue. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that the goal is to have it become public open space. He noted that some areas need no remediation, but it would be appropriate to address the non-native invasive plant species. PH1 - 169 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 4 Director Derek Johnson stated that the final project EIR will be clear on this issue. Diane Kukol, Regional Water Quality Control Board, stated that it is highly unlikely that there would be any drawing down of oily material into the water supply. She stated that connection to the sewer line along Tank Farm Road for waste water disposal is dependent on annexation. Commr. Fowler stated that while there is no housing proposed, there is a nexus between job creation and housing. He agreed with the need for a buffer for bicyclists. He commended the draft EIR. Commr. Stevenson gave compliments to staff on an excellent draft EIR. He appreciated public comments about bike trails. Commr. Larson stated a need to revisit the wetlands issue about whether environmental impacts are Class 1 or 2. Bob Hill, Natural Resources Manager, stated that many state agencies will be involved in the future but the draft EIR comes first. Vice-Chair Meyer, in general, expressed support for the future positive outcomes. He pointed out that the draft EIR is inconsistent with the city bicycle plan and treats bicycling only as recreation. He noted that Class 1 bike paths are dealt with by Parks & Recreation while Public Works deals with Class 2 paths although, in San Luis Obispo, bicycle journeys often combine business and recreation. He stated protected bike lanes along Tank Farm should be a hybrid of Class 1 and 2. He stated there is a need to address how to get across Tank Farm Road at points between Broad and Higuera. He expressed concern about excess traffic capacity and excessive maintenance costs when the Buckley Road and Prado Road extensions are added to lane expansion on Tank Farm Road. He noted the need to consider all modes of transportation and ways for pedestrians and bicycles to cross Tank Farm Road. He supports the City’s Bicycle Transportation Plan and indicated that Chevron’s project will need some adjustment. Commr. Multari noted that the EIR process allows changes if the City makes findings that there are community values that outweigh impacts. He gave the example of the community deciding to not add lanes to Tank Farm Road and accepting the impact of heavier traffic. There were no further comments made from the Commission. 2. City-Wide. GPI 15-12: Land Use and Circulation Elements Update: Study session to review and discuss Task Force recommended Land Use and Circulation alternatives for the Land Use and Circulation Elements update; City of San Luis Obispo - Community Development Dept., applicant (Kim Murry) Kim Murry, Deputy Director, presented the staff report, recommending the Commission review the land use and circulation alternatives endorsed for further evaluation by the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements Update and provide input and revisions as appropriate. PH1 - 170 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 5 Commissioners discussed how to handle Vice-Chair Meyer’s need to be recused on one item concerning the Johnson/Broad area. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, seconded by Commr. Larson, that the item of Johnson/Broad area be taken as the last discussion item of the meeting. AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: Commr. Meyer ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 4-0 vote. Commr. Multari clarified the nature of alternatives. Deputy Director Murry stated that the Planning Commission’s recommendations will receive high-level review and be presented to Council in October. The City Council will select a “preferred alternative” to the current general plan that will subsequently proceed through full environmental review. Slide 1 Foothill area: TF-LUCE recommendations include University Square transition from general retail to mixed use. Properties on the southeast side of Foothill are also included for mixed uses. Two sites owned by the Diocese of Monterey were not recommended for changes to their current land-use designations. The Old Pacheco School site was recommended by the TF-LUCE to consider for residential and park use. Circulation recommendations include consideration of realignment of Chorro, Broad, and Boysen as well as a separated bike and pedestrian connection across Santa Rosa Street. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 1 OF THE PRESENTATION: Sharon Whitney, resident of Pacheco School neighborhood, requested removing the old Pacheco School site from consideration and was opposed to medium to high-density residential development for that site. She would have supported an alternative for use of the site as a park. Ermina Karim, Chamber of Commerce, supported increasing building heights in the Santa Rosa/Foothill area and thought the area might be appropriate for a research park. She stated that the Santa Rosa corridor is a gateway to the City and is an appropriate location for tourism-supporting commercial uses. She spoke in favor of designating Chorro as the alternative bike route to downtown and new, medium-density apartments with a transition to low-density residential for the Old Pacheco School site. Geoff Straw, Director of San Luis Obispo RTA, cyclist, spoke in support of a pedestrian/bicycle over/underpass for Santa Rosa Street. He advocated considering all forms of transportation. Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, commended the work done by staff with some reservations. PH1 - 171 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 6 There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 1 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Multari thought that B-4 was the most sensible and wanted the whole area considered for mixed use. He supports policy discussions about parking and height requirements. He was not in favor of a research park in this area. He noted that planning for the Pacheco School site may be impacted by Cal Poly’s master plan. He stated that the shape and size of the park at this site should be flexible and that a policy discussion was needed. He supported TF-LUCE recommendations for potential land use and circulation changes in the area. Commr. Stevenson spoke about B-4 and expressed a desire to see flexibility in mixed use that could accommodate horizontal or other types of mixed use. He supported serving student needs in this area. He emphasized the importance of understanding the parks needs of the neighborhood around the Old Pacheco site. He expressed opposition to the Chamber position for this site. Commr. Multari stated that Cal Poly is considering building more housing with commercial businesses included across the street. He suggested that perhaps a policy decision, not a land use decision, is needed for the Old Pacheco site. Commr. Fowler commended the work done by the Land Use Committee. He supported the pedestrian/bicycle alternative and residential development for the Pacheco School site. Commr. Meyer expressed concern about losing school sites. He agreed that the shape of the park is only an approximation at this point. Deputy Director Murry stated that Cal Poly is planning a 1400-bed housing expansion on a campus parking lot across the street from the Old Pacheco site. She stated that the City is looking forward 20-35 years to anticipate future community needs, however, the school district may have more immediate needs even though they have yet to formulate plans for the property. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission supports the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements recommendations with consideration of the policy direction noted in the Commission’s discussion. AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Meyer, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 5-0 vote. Slide 2: Monterey/Downtown/Mid-Higuera Area Jake Hudson, Traffic Operations Manager, presented the circulation alternatives shown on slide 2. These involve exploring full or event-related closure of Broad and Monterey PH1 - 172 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 7 streets near Mission Plaza; potential freeway ramp closures in neighborhoods and expansion on interchange at US 101 and SR 1; location of the Transit Center on Higuera near Santa Rosa; conversion of Marsh and Higuera to two-way streets between Santa Rosa and Johnson; and re-alignment of Bianchi Lane to Pismo. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 2 OF THE PRESENTATION: David Kuykendall, San Luis Obispo, indicated that on Pismo and Buchon Streets, much of the traffic is cut-through and not local. He supports shifting traffic from residential area to arterial streets. He expressed concern about the Johnson Avenue Housing Project’s traffic impacts to Johnson, Pismo, and Buchon and supports better utilization of Marsh Street. Bill Casella, San Luis Obispo, asked if there would be a right-hand turn lane on Higuera Street onto High Street. He supported two-way traffic on Higuera Street and Marsh Street. Eugene Jud, San Luis Obispo, stated he had mixed feelings about the process. He indicated the June workshop had a carnival atmosphere and that people didn’t understand what they were voting on. Problems aren’t defined and there hasn’t been criteria listed for how to evaluate alternatives. He opposes one-way streets in residential areas, a large interchange, and feels that Higuera Street should be pedestrian only. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 2 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Larson stated that it is convenient to have local ramps to get on and off freeways. Commr. Stevenson supported the alternatives with the caveat that he is not entirely in support of 7-3 – the larger closing of Monterey and Broad Streets. . Commr. Multari noted advantages of reducing traffic on Broad Street near Mission Plaza. He stated that neighborhood on/off freeway ramps are inadequate but that he has concerns about creating one large freeway interchange. He noted that 7-3 has issues concerning access to businesses and to the parking structure. He supported a policy discussion of what type of closure may be appropriate for this area. Commr. Fowler stated that closing the off-ramp at Broad Street, is troubling as it is a direct route to the airport, the Mission, and Downtown. Commr. Meyer supported one-way traffic on Broad Street, diagonal parking, and closing the street for events, options that did not get into the TF-LUCE recommendation and were recommended by Ken Schwartz. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, to forward the LUCE recommendations to the City Council but with a policy discussion about the nature and phasing of closure in 7-3 PH1 - 173 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 8 AYES: Commrs. Multari and Stevenson NOES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, and Meyer RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion failed on a 2-3 vote. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr.

AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Meyer, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 5-0 vote. Slide 3: Monterey/Downtown/Mid-Higuera Area (continued) Jake Hudson, Traffic Operations Manager, presented the circulation alternatives for potential re-alignment of Madonna to form an intersection at Bridge Street across Higuera. Deputy Director Murry described the Task Force recommendations for policy discussions to address Upper Monterey, Downtown, and Mid-Higuera areas but that the Task Force did not recommend land use designation changes for these areas. She also explained the TF-LUCE recommendation to explore both Tourist Commercial and some form of Mixed use for the Caltrans site at Higuera and Madonna. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 3 OF THE PRESENTATION: There were no comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 3 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Stevenson supports a large-scale conference center at the Cal Trans site. He indicated that the re-alignment of Madonna may be OK but that Mixed Use is probably not appropriate for this location. PH1 - 174 Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 2013 Page 9 Commr. Meyer expressed a need to study the options of a conference center or commercial use. Commr. Fowler agreed with Commr. Stevenson and asked if the Chamber had any comments. Ermina Karim, Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber has been an advocate for a conference center for a long time and agreed with the Task Force findings regarding mixed use. Commr. Larson stated that the intersection of Madonna Road and Higuera Street is awkward but does work. He added that this is a great location for a conference center but asked if realignment of Madonna Road would reduce the size of the Cal Trans property. He stated that use and circulation are linked closely. He thought the City could do without the realignment. Deputy Director Murry stated that the alignment concept was offered by a participant at the December workshop. She further noted that the Cal Trans site is 13 acres in size and that conference centers usually require approximately 4-6 acres. Commr. Multari agreed with Commr. Larson about the intersection and was inclined more to support H-3 but would like a policy discussion. On motion by Commr. Multari, seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission supports the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements recommendations for alternatives E, F and G; and H-3 with a policy discussion that would address circulation options and the possibility of incorporating more public open space. Land uses to serve as gateway uses on the Caltrans site should include a conference center and other uses compatible with a conference center. AYES: Commrs. Fowler, Larson, Meyer, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Draze The motion passed on a 5-0 vote. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, and seconded by Commr.

MINUTES: Approval/amendment of the minutes of July 24, 2013, was continued due to a lack of four members in attendance that were present on July 24, 2013. ELECTION: Commr. Larson was unanimously elected as Vice-Chairperson. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: There were no comments made from the public. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. 323 Grand Avenue. MS/ER 25-13: Review of minor subdivision of 323 and 353 Grand Avenue to create four parcels with exceptions to the minimum lot depth and area requirement and adoption of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact; R-1 zone; Ryan Petetit/John Belsher, applicants. (Marcus Carloni) Assistant City Attorney Andrea Visveshwara recused herself based on a conflict of interest. She stated that she has not had any communication with the Commission on this item. Marcus Carloni, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report, recommending adoption of the Draft Resolution, which grants final approval to the project, based on findings and subject to conditions which he outlined. PH1 - 177 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 2 PUBLIC COMMENTS: John Belsher, applicant, provided a PowerPoint presentation. Steve Delmartini, SLO, supported the project and infill development in general, praised the parking provided, and stated it would upgrade the neighborhood. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Chair Draze was concerned about setbacks and the amount of parking. Commr. Stevenson noted that lots 2 and 3 adjoin a shallow drainage basin and wondered if this would be usable outdoor space. Commr. Larson discussed the project’s density. Marcus Carloni, Assistant Planner, stated that, when a lot is substandard, the main issue is compatibility with the neighborhood. He noted there are many substandard R-1 lots in the area. Commr. Stevenson supported the project as a well-designed, efficient use of land. He expressed concern about the cost to the subdivider language in finding #6. Commr. Multari discussed the neighborhood density and lot sizes in terms of compatibility. He supported prohibiting secondary dwelling units. Commr. Larson supported this project over individual development of the lots due to better access and parking and the elimination of secondary dwelling units. Commr. Multari discussed the project’s density and questioned the number of bedrooms that would be allowed if the lot sizes were proposed in the R-2 zone. Commr. Draze supported the project as a better option than three residences with five bedrooms and secondary dwelling units that might result in higher density. He stated that the project is consistent with a single-family neighborhood. Commr. Multari stated that this property is 1.5 blocks from Cal Poly and thus it is likely to be rented to students. He noted that the General Plan encourages student housing close to Cal Poly. Commr. Stevenson expressed concern with the unit size. Mr. Carloni, in response to a question about R-2 density, stated three-bedroom residences would be allowed per lot if the proposed lot sizes were in the R-2 zone. PH1 - 178 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 3 Commr. Larson commended the design of the project and stated that this development will be compatible with residences in this area. Commr. Multari expressed concern about vehicles backing out onto Grand Avenue and wanted the applicant to consider one driveway for the project. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, seconded by Vice-Chair Larson to approve the project per staff recommendation with the following modifications: 1. Modify finding #5 to read as follows “…standards codified in the Subdivision Regulations because the design will result in a more efficient use of the land, and the property…” 2. Add condition #5 which reads “Secondary Dwelling Units shall not be allowed.” 3. Add condition #6 which reads “The Architectural Review Commission shall consider one driveway accessing all parcels on the project site resulting in elimination of backing out onto Grand Avenue.” AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. 2. City-Wide. GPI 15-12: Land Use and Circulation Elements Update: Continued review of Task Force-recommended alternatives to the Land Use Element update; City of San Luis Obispo – Community Development Dept., applicant. (Kim Murry) Kim Murry, Deputy Director, presented the staff report, recommending the Commission continue to review the land use and circulation alternatives endorsed for further evaluation by the Task Force for the Land Use and Circulation Elements Update and provide input and revisions as appropriate. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 4 OF THE PRESENTATION (MADONNA/LOVR AREA): Steve Devencenzi, SLOCOG, stated that the Prado Road interchange does impact SLOCOG. He can see justification for some regional funds for access to the airport via Prado Road to Broad. He noted that SLOCOG is currently conducting a mobility study in the county. He stated that closure of ramps and going to one access point for 101 will be very expensive and, rather than stating that ramps are to be closed, it may be preferable to plan a complete analysis of all the ramps, with the possibility that ramps in existence may be redesigned. He noted that going to one access point may require widening Santa Rosa. PH1 - 179 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 4 Jenna Smith, SLO, Executive Director of Central Coast Grown, noted that the general plan calls for preserving agricultural properties. Central Coast Grown supported retaining fifty percent of the Dalidio property as agricultural land. Brian Engleton, City Farm, supported option L-5 as it preserves fifty percent of the land as agricultural. He stated that the planned medium and high-density housing will serve the purpose of connecting people to their local food supply. He supported considering the impact on agricultural lands when planning new roads. Amy Sinsheimer, SLO, member of Central Coast Grown, supports L-5 over options that might preserve even more open space because the adjacent housing would connect residents to agriculture. She noted the need to optimally use the agricultural land. Rosemary Wilvert SLO, member of the City Farm group, emphasized the need for sustainable farmland in light of climate change. She noted that the land use plan and the master plan for the Calle Joaquin Preserve require that fifty percent be reserved for agriculture. She stated that the City Farm working group advocates extending Calle Joaquin to Dalidio Road but understands that either 15-3 or 15-2 will be passed and therefore prefers 15-3. Karen Newman, representative for the City Farm working group, opposed the extension of Froom Ranch Way because it would cut off access to City Farm. She stated that the extension of the Bob Jones Bike Trail would preserve access. She supported contiguous open spaces that would bring people to, not through, them. She stated that the extension of Calle Joaquin should be parallel to 101. Eugene Jud, SLO, suggested the Prado overpass be just a bicycle/pedestrian bridge. He noted the need for planning for people who will be 45 in 2035. He maintained that vehicular traffic is not growing in many locations and that fewer young people have driver licenses today. Peter Schwartz, SLO, Cal Poly physics professor, supported high-density housing and safety for bicycles and pedestrians. He supported a bicycle and pedestrian-only overpass for Prado Road. Grace Morgan, SLO, supported a bicycle/pedestrian-only overpass and making the city safe for bicycles and pedestrians. She stated that people will adjust to what is built. Shahram Shariati, SLO, former student, noted the need for more housing, especially affordable housing. He maintained that increases in traffic volume come from people being forced to live outside the city due to high prices. He stated that people are turning against transportation by car. Marshall Ochylski, representative of the developer who has the Dalidio property in escrow, supported mixed use with primary emphasis on residential, especially entry and workforce housing. He clarified the definition of preserving fifty percent of the land as meaning open space and/or agricultural. He supported the mitigation of that fifty PH1 - 180 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 5 percent with offsite property exchanges if there is an opportunity. He supported continued consideration of circulation options. Steve Delmartini, SLO, stated he does not know what entry and workforce housing actually means. He expressed concern about airport flight paths in relation to housing planned. Linda Sealy, SLO, noted that there will never be more class 1 soil on earth and thus there is a need to preserve this land for agriculture over building shopping malls or housing. She opposed the concept of off-site mitigation to meet the fifty percent requirement. Charlene Rosales, SLO Chamber of Commerce, supported the Prado Road interchange for current needs and future development. She stated the area is ideal for mixed use, medium and high-density housing, hospitality space, bicycle access, and parks. . Erik Justesen, business owner, supported mixed use and a move away from large commercial. He noted that with a limited amount of space within the city limits, trying to set aside a sizeable amount of open space would be problematic. He stated that cross circulation, such as the extension of Calle Joaquin, etc., is needed to get to shopping. Eric Meyer, SLO, left his bicycle at the front of the Council Chamber as an exhibit. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 4 OF THE PRESENTATION (MADONNA/LOVR AREA): Commr. Larson stated that the Prado interchange would serve an important east/west traffic flow function and facilitate moving traffic on and off 101. He noted that if this interchange is eliminated, there must be a demonstration of where that traffic will go and what impacts it will have. Commr. Stevenson expressed concern about how CalTrans would view a Prado Road overpass vs. an interchange and whether the city would be required to design a full interchange even if the City opted to pursue the overpass instead of the interchange. Deputy Director of Public Works Tim Bochum indicated that design of the facility is also impacted by underlying issues of access and space. He noted that grading for an overpass might result in flood waters on Hwy 101. Commr. Multari thanked Eugene Jud for his report. He noted that medium/high-density residential on the Dalidio property may not fit with the current Airport Land Use Plan. He stated the City should not be constrained by existing land use categories, but consider designations such as mixed-use plan 1 or 2, etc., with a focus on policy. He supported consideration of offsite mitigation of open space as part of the policy discussions. PH1 - 181 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 6 Commr. Draze agreed that the Commission should not get too detailed at the general plan level and that new designations may be helpful. He stated that he is hesitant to remove circulation options for the future whether car, bicycle, or pedestrian. Commr. Stevenson agreed that discussion of details needs to be at the policy level. Community Development Director Derek Johnson stated that the alternatives will be modeled and can be in the general plan for many years without immediate action. Commr. Draze noted that if an alternative is not in the plan, then it is precluded from being implemented. Commr. Larson stated that modeling and understanding what deletion of the Prado interchange would mean is important and that east/west circulation is a regional issue. Commr. Draze supported the Task Force and Commission on residential development. He noted that in one or two generations, transportation preferences will change. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that the L5 area (Dalidio) be designated as a mixed-use planning area with policies to evaluate the appropriate mix of uses, including agricultural open space at fifty percent and a residential component that is consistent with applicable airport policies. The Commission further recommended that circulation connections between Los Osos Valley Road and Dalidio be evaluated. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. On motion by Commr. Multari and seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Commission recommended to the City Council that both 15-2 and 15-3 (Prado overpass and interchange) alternatives be evaluated. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 5 OF THE PRESENTATION (MADONNA/LOVR 2): Shahram Shariati, SLO, suggested that areas already developed but empty, such as the old New Frontiers site, be developed instead of open areas. PH1 - 182 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 7 There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 5 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Draze stated that some portion of the Madonna property would be designated mixed use, to be decided at the policy level, but not the entire property. He noted that the hillsides are not being considered for active uses. He noted the need for a bicycle connection to Target and onto Froom Ranch. He questioned the inclusion of office space on K-3/the Sunset Drive-in to Prado area. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Multari, seconded by Commr. Stevenson, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that Site 14 (Oceanaire connection to Froom Ranch) be enhanced for bike and pedestrian connections but that no vehicular connections be made; that K-3 (Sunset Drive-in to Prado Site) be designated for a mix of uses with policy direction to guide appropriate mix; that M-3 and M-4 (Froom Ranch and LOVR) be considered through policy discussion to support a non-residential buffer along roads but to consider Medium-High Density residential development and park at this location; that Task Force directional items for O-3 (Madonna) be included in the policy discussion but not require a Planned Development overlay; and that N-4 (Calle Joaquin) be addressed through policies that will call out the appropriate mix of uses. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 6 OF THE PRESENTATION (SOUTH HIGUERA/ AIRPORT AREA): Stephen Peck, SLO, project manager for the Avila Ranch property, discussed their efforts to review the Buckley Road connection to Higuera. He indicated they are working with the County, the City, and Caltrans to determine connections for pedestrian and bike connections to the Octagon Barn and alignment of Buckley Road. Charlene Rosales, SLO Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber is in agreement with LUCE Task Force recommendations. Steve Delmartini, SLO, stated that the Tank Farm/Broad area needs residential development and that Avila Ranch is a circulation nightmare that needs evaluating. Erik Justesen, business owner, indicated that Avila Ranch is isolated and connections to the retail sites to the north is important. He supports the Buckley connection to Higuera and stated that longer term, the City should look at options to expand outside of the current city limits – perhaps south of Buckley Road. PH1 - 183 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 8 Eugene Jud, SLO, supported the Buckley Road connection to LOVR. He stated that the Marigold Center/Broad/Tank Farm area could be much denser. He suggested a roundabout at Tank Farm and Broad and developing pedestrian connections above streets. Eric Meyer, SLO, indicated that the Avila Ranch concepts require Chevron’s participation to connect the bike network to that area. He emphasized the need to improve pedestrian and bike circulation in the Tank Farm/Broad area. There were no further comments made from the public. On motion by Commr. Multari, and seconded by Commr Stevenson, the Planning Commission recommends the TF-LUCE recommendations for 17-2 (Vachel), 18-2 (north-south connection between Tank Farm and Buckley), 19-4 (Bypass and Buckley connection to Higuera), P-5 (Residential/open-space mix near Los Verdes condos), Q-2 (policy to review MASP density), R-3 (mixed use at Broad/Tank Farm), and S-3 (Avila Ranch concept) as a planning area with policy direction that will guide future development. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SLIDE 7 (JOHNSON/BROAD AREA) OF THE PRESENTATION: Steve Delmartini, SLO, supported upzoning the area between Lawrence and Mitchell on the west side, previously changed from R-2 to R-1, R-2 again. He stated this area could accommodate secondary dwellings behind existing dwellings. Erik Justesen, business owner, supported the inclusion of the Broad Street plan. He noted a need to connect the east and west sides of the city. He stated that more railroad overcrossings were needed all the way to Orcutt Road but do not need to be vehicular. He supported slowing Broad Street traffic. Charlene Rosales, SLO Chamber of Commerce, supported including the Broad Street Area plan as part of the update. She stated that the Chamber is supportive of senior housing and facilities in the area behind General Hospital. Eugene Jud, SLO, commended the Broad Street plan and noted the need for more pedestrian bridges over the railroad tracks. He stated that Bishop Street is very steep, which makes it difficult to integrate with Santa Barbara Road with the Fire Department facility there. He stated that the neighborhood would probably not support it. There were no further comments made from the public. PH1 - 184 Planning Commission Minutes August 14, 2013 Page 9 COMMISSION COMMENTS ON SLIDE 7 OF THE PRESENTATION: Commr. Stevenson supported keeping the railroad overpass at Orcutt due to concerns of rail activity. He agreed that Bishop Street connection is steep and getting over the railroad tracks and down would be difficult. He supported consideration of bikes and pedestrian crossings, but not vehicles. Commr. Draze supported keeping the Bishop Street connection in for consideration along with the railroad overpass. He stated that the Commission needs to recommend strongly that the City Council consider inclusion of the Broad Street plan. Commr. Larson agreed with Commr. Stevenson in supporting the Orcutt road overpass and predicted that more oil will be transported by train in the future. He agreed that the Broad Street plan should be looked at again. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Stevenson, seconded by Commr. Larson, the Planning Commission recommended the Council include evaluation of the consequences of eliminating the Bishop Street bridge, withdraw the alternative of eliminating the Orcutt Road overpass, provide policy direction for I-3 (area behind General Hospital), and strongly endorsed the inclusion of the Broad Street Area plan with changes to address removal of the McMillan/Duncan area and provisions for non-conforming uses as part of the update. AYES: Commrs. Draze, Larson, Multari, and Stevenson NOES: None RECUSED: None ABSENT: Commr. Fowler The motion passed on a 4:0 vote. SLIDE 8 (PROPERTY OWNER REQUESTS RECEIVED): There were no comments made from the public. There were no comments made from the Commission. Planning Commission direction agreed with staff recommendation to develop policies to guide evaluation of individual up-zoning requests. COMMENT AND DISCUSSION: 3. Staff a.

As you know, on their behalf, we have provided input to the Planning Commission as they reviewed the Task Force recommendations for the School District’s properties – Site C. “Old” Pacheco Elementary and Site M. Pacific Beach High School. We are in receipt of the Mayor’s recent correspondence and appreciate her acknowledgement that the School District is a key partner in the community and accept her request to provide additional feedback with regards to whether the proposed land use alternatives further or hinder the District’s goals. Pursuant to our recent meeting with you and Business Superintendent Pinkerton, and in light of the upcoming Council hearing to determine the scope of the environmental document for the LUCE process, please be advised of the following comments. While we clearly appreciate that the LUCE is a long-range planning effort, we hope that this information will provide you and the Council with the clear direction as to the disposition of the School District properties. Site C – “Old” Pacheco Elementary The LUCE Task Force and the Planning Commission have recommended four different land use scenarios for this property: 1) existing General Plan designation – Public Facilities; 2) Low-density residential; 3) a combination of low-density and medium-density residential; and 4) Medium-density residential with a fair portion of the property designated as park. While the School District will soon embark upon a new student demographic statistical forecast, they know that enrollment has increased by three percent over the past three years following a ten-year steady decline in enrollment. Given this trend, it would be prudent to retain Pacheco Elementary at its current General Plan designation, until such a determination has been made to convert it to another use. While an even higher density residential land use than currently proposed in the LUCE alternatives would seem appropriate, at this time it is the School District’s desire to eliminate consideration of Site C from the LUCE and related environmental process. PH1 - 187 OASIS ASSOCIATES, INC. 01 October 2013 SLCUSD PROPERTIES – LUCE PROCESS Page 2 of 2 3427 Miguelito Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805.541.4509 p 805.546.0525 f www.oasisassoc .com CP 018415 ● RLA 2248 ● CLARB 907 Site M – Pacific Beach High School The LUCE Task Force and the Planning Commission have recommended four different land use scenarios for this property: 1) existing General Plan designation – Public Facilities; 2) a combination of low-density residential, commercial retail, office and a park; 3) Mixed-use (housing and commercial) and a park; and 4) Medium high density residential and a park. Based upon the age and condition of the existing structures, and the substantial increase in incompatible commercial development along the Los Osos Valley Road corridor, the School District is interested in placing this property in its Master Plan for Surplus Property and Revenue Enhancement Program. Guidance to accomplish this is provided by the Education Code1 that codifies the procedures for the disposition of real property. Our analysis of the “best and highest use” for the property revealed that the Commercial Retail (CR) land use category, that also allows for a maximum residential density of 36 units/acre (note that this property is in the Airport Land Use Plan/Airport Safety Area S-2 that limits residential density to 12 units/acre), may be an appropriate land use designation given the context of the mix of uses in the neighborhood. The School District would agree to changing the zoning to CR as part of the LUCE process, as long as there is an acknowledgement that there is absolutely no interest on the School District’s part to include a public park2 on the subject property. We hope that this clarifies the School District’s position on the above-mentioned properties and will allow you to complete your recommendation to the City Council. We will continue to monitor the LUCE planning process. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any additional information.

Foothill Boulevard @ Santa Rosa Street or the Complete Streets 1. Pedestrian Access Near Foothill Boulevard and 2. Vehicular Access Near Foothill Boulevard, we have conducted an extensive search for a residential mixed-use development partner1 and with that search, completed a fairly exhaustive and comprehensive economic feasibility analysis to design, permit and construct a mixed-use (residential/commercial) project. The results were certainly enlightening, but at the same time, extremely disappointing. Many factors contributed to the conclusion of infeasibility: land cost, entitlement and permit fees; construction costs; and lastly, the ability to generate revenues to compensate for the initial capital outlay. At this juncture, NKT is poised to pursue a project reflective of the current zoning (Commercial Retail/“CR”) and the zone’s allowable uses, that are very similar to the LUCE Update alternative B-2. Redevelopment of the Commercial Center. We are currently in the planning phase of that effort and anticipate lodging an application in a matter of months. Based upon our client’s intentions, it would seem unnecessary to include the subject property and the various LUCE Update iterations in the Council’s deliberation about the scope of work for the environmental document. With regards to the traffic and circulation alternatives, we would of course continue to have an interest in how the City intends to move forward with the noted improvements. As planners, we appreciate that the LUCE Update is a long-range planning effort, one that the City must revisit now and again to refresh the community vision and hopefully, be responsive to the financial realities of the marketplace. We hope that this information will provide you and the Council with the clear direction as to the University Square properties. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any additional information. 1 We interviewed/reviewed a total of six (6) proposals, two from the nation’s top multi‐family residential  development companies.   PH1 - 189 OASIS ASSOCIATES, INC. 2 October 2013 UNIVERSITY SQUARE – LUCE UPDATE PROCESS Page 2 of 2 3427 Miguelito Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805.541.4509 p 805.546.0525 f www.oasisassoc .com CP 018415 ● RLA 2248 ● CLARB 907 Respectfully, OASIS ASSOCIATES, INC.

The Trust owns property on the north and south sides of Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR), adjacent to and west of Los Verdes Park. These properties are collectively known as Site P. LOVR Creekside Area in the City’s LUCE process. The intent of this letter is to provide you with the Trust’s opinion with regards to the alternative land use scenarios recommended by the Task Force and Planning Commission. The LUCE Task Force and the Planning Commission have recommended five different land use alternatives for these properties: 1) existing General Plan designation – Interim Open Space and Open Space; 2) Medium high residential, agriculture and open space; 3) Low density residential, agriculture and open space; 4) Agriculture and open space; and 5) Medium high density, low density residential and open space. In addition, the property located south of LOVR, is noted on Circulation 19. LOVR Buckley Road Connection – 19.2 LOVR Bypass Alignment. While the properties are constrained by a number of factors, we believe that the “best and highest use” for both parcels would be medium high density residential (“RMHD”). This greater density would help to mitigate for the City’s desire to take a portion of the southerly parcel to accommodate the LOVR bypass to Buckley Road and the additional open space, which effectively reduces the developable area. We hope that this clarifies the Trust’s position on the above-mentioned properties and, in turn, will allow you to complete your recommendation to the City Council. We will continue to monitor the LUCE planning process. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please contact us should you have any questions or require any additional information.

I'll try to go and speak but may not have the voice. If you would like to just forward this message, here is my short version: Policy Groundwork: 1. The City Council's direction to rely on our reputation and not consider major policy changes may not be wise. The city has grown into a commuter hub, with umpteen trips generated on Highway 101 daily. It is not sustainable to continue to happily grow economically without building the housing that employees here could afford, or congest the principal highway serving the region. 2. The second major problem is that transportation policies, as shown in street designs, have not kept up with land use innovations. Major changes in emphasis are needed to become a "walkable" community, throughout the LUCE. Traffic speeds and congestion are readily increasing while almost no housing is being built to serve the burgeoning employment growth. Pedestrians and bicyclists are in danger practically everywhere, especially near or at major intersections. 3. V/hat are the capacities of the water supply, sewage treatment system and San Luis Obispo Creek, waste disposal, and the highways and roads outside the city? These capacities have not been mentioned as constraints, which is odd since this is a project to develop a sustainable plan. 1 4. The City needs an overall "shopping center" policy framework, to direct new and re-modeled center development to be mixed use, pedestrian based, street oriented and land-efhcient. Physical Alternatives: 1. What is going to be planned for the properties within the Sphere of Influence? These are large properties in the Edna and Los Osos Valleys that have not been mentioned. How will they affect the sustainability of the community and environment? 2. Change the land use plan concept for the Dalidio property, in the list of sites in Attachment 3, Table l: Plan for a corridor of major anchor stores and smal¡er pedestrian-friendly stores, along a future Dalidio Boulevard. The boulevard would be faced with buildings and wide sidewalks; parking would be structured behind the buildings. A development limit line would be extended from the rear of the Post Office property, behind which prime-land local agriculture should continue. A similar plan for the opposite side of Dalidio Drive would balance the street. Transportation Alternatives l. Add Tank Farm Road between the west and east city limits on Orcutt Road, as a major hazard to local residential and employment traffic. lt should be planned as a Residential (not Parkway) Arterial, to be consistent with the pedestrian-oriented land uses and subdivisions that were planned in the lslay Hill Specific Plan. lt was a transit oriented plan for higher densities near a neighborhood center, with well-landscaped pedestrian and bike paths, At that time, however, transportation planning was not in sync with land use planning, and you see the incongruity today in the emphasis on fast vehicle traffic. Tank Farm Road is built and managed to encourage rapid vehicle traffic through the entire residential corridor. There is no reason for this approach, and plenty of reasons to reduce speeds on the street to 35 mph ( 1. a. The retail center should be treated as a pedestrian zone, with stop signs or lights, street markings, low speed limits, speed humps, etc. so that drivers entering the zone slow down before Poinsettia (coming from the East) and before the large west side properties coming from the West. Vehicle traffic lanes should be reduced from four to two east of Broad at least past Poinsettia. This pedestrian zone should be the kind of "road diet" that all arterials within neighborhood centers should engage in, The concept is to treat the area's residents and the users of this retail center with respect, l. b. Stop signs should be located at Poinsettia, and street lights should be installed to highlight the crosswalk. Similarly, the other intersections further east should also have stop signs. Otherwise, crossing tables should be located before these intersections, so that drivers will lower speeds in order to perceive crossing traffic and pedestrians. 1. c. The entry to San Luis Obispo on Orcutt Road, east of Spanish Oaks Drive, should be posted with a lower speed limit than the current 55 mph. The first lower speed sígn of 45 mph is actually west of the Orcutt Road intersection. By the time drivers see this sign, if at all, and start to slow down a bit, if at all, is when they ascend the hill to Brook Pine Street. The entry should announce the first in a series of 35 mph signs east of ,and before Spanish Oaks Drive, lt is physically impossible to cross traffic coming at 50 - 60 mph along this corridor, without "gunning" it. Only one or two seconds are available to make a decision whether to go for it, given the sight distance problems. This is particularly true on Brook Pine Street and Wavertree Streets, crossing left onto Tank Farm Road. 2 b. The bus stop at Tank Farm and Poinsettia Street should be upgraded to a structured shelter/kiosk/coffee corner. lt is the central transit hub for the neighborhood, but it has been ignored as such by one transit official after another. lf it upgraded to a middle-class status, it will attract middle class riders to transit. 3 Goodwin, Heather From: Murry, Kim Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 5:19 PM To: Mejia, Anthony; Goodwin, Heather Cc: Johnson, Derek Subject: FW: City of SLO General Plan and Circulation Plan =RECEIVED This should be treated as agenda correspondence for the October 15`h Council Hearing on the LUCE agenda item please.

First, you have followed some excellent procedures to obtain input, and have written an excellent plan. I submit the following comments to the staff and City Council. I will probably not be able to attend the hearing. The Transportation Goals are good, as they accommodate those persons who do not have cars and must ride the bus. The disabled may not be able to walk or ride bicycles, and depend on the bus. Full disclosure: I am president of an organization of volunteers helping the disabled with shelter. Regarding the Society and Economy Goals: They are excellent. Would suggest, however: Background: In view of the fact that the County has been sanctioned with reduced appropriations for not doing enough to end homelessness, the HSOC has made a recommendation that an emphasis be made on serving the VERY LOW income population. The low and moderate income population has shockingly high income for a subsidy, and they always seems to get priority. The very low income group is the group containing the homeless, and they are homeless because they have very low incomes and the rents in this county are some of the highest in the state, even in the country. Of particular note are the disabled receiving SSI, who have an income of about $850 /mo. If one looked very hard, he might, in time, find rent for that amount, but the tenant would have no money left for food or transportation to the doctor. SSI recipients are ineligible for Food Stamps, because there is an amount in the SSI budget which is supposed to be for food, but is eaten up by rent every time. Very Low income should have first priority. The disabled in this group cannot increase their income by working. They are too ill or too badly injured, or suffering from a disorder. Seniors, including those of very advanced age, also receive SSI, and often are unable to work. For better housing for this group, HSOC recommends SRO (Single Room Occupancy) housing for one or two persons per unit. Atascadero recently adopted an ordinance allowing for SRO, with up to 2 persons per unit. This is small, but a lot better than homelessness, and can be more affordable because it is cheaper to build. Disabled on SSI have been left out and forgotten. I am talking about the non - seniors in the group. It is very common for people in this county and elsewhere to develop degenerative diseases before becoming seniors. They have emphysema, cardiovascular disease, nephritis, etc. Many have cancer in advanced stages. Many have spinal disorders, or are disabled as the result of injuries. We are not just talking about people in wheelchairs. Where can they live, to avoid being homeless? Many are free of social dysfunction, but some need casework. Many subsidized apartment buildings are for seniors only. Some senior buildings also accept disabled. Most subsidized housing is either for seniors or for families. Some of the disabled have minor children, but many are in middle age, with no minor children in the home. Such persons can apply to family housing only if they can find a vacancy for a one - bedroom unit. Many family apartment buildings have no one - bedroom units, but start with 2 bedroom and go to 3 and 4- bedroom. No one is planning for housing for the disabled, but they are numerous in the city and the county. They are the group with the greatest need, as their physical condition results in a great need for shelter. They need shelter in the daytime as well as at night, so an overnight shelter does not meet their needs. Without daytime shelter, they could collapse on the street and be taken to a hospital in an ambulance. With the proper rest, they will be as well as their physical condition allows. Without rest, they will get a lot worse unnecessarily, just because of lack of shelter. Ask any hospital social worker. Thank you very much. Pearl Munak, President Transitional Food and Shelter, Inc.

As more companies locate to San Luis Obispo and local businesses expand, some of their employees will require a home with a nearby school. I look forward to the time when my area will once again include many families with children who can walk to school. And when this happens, hopefully, Pacheco will be available, and families will not have to wait for a new school to open or be required to drive their children across town to school. I purchased my home 33 years ago and both my husband and I walked to work at Cal Poly. I have spent many hours and dollars to keep my home and yard in good repair. Should Pacheco property be sold and turned into a housing complex with multiple changing residents, my house will lose value as a family purchase because of the additional speeding vehicles, noise and congestion. Ultimately, the low value will only interest investors to purchase as student rentals, not home owners. Pacheco School is not sitting vacant; it is rented and used for its intended function - Education. This area was built for families, not temporary residents, who come and go and who seemingly have little ¡nterest in keeping our environment the best it can be. Please keep Pacheco School as it is -- a school Sincerely, Donna Nash OcT 15 2013 ËDRECET.V Goodwin, Heather From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: AGENDA GORRESPONDENCE Marx, Jan Tuesday, October 15, 201-3 8:44 AM Mejia, Anthony; Goodwin, Heather FW: Agenda: Circulation Element Physical Changes council physical change CE update.doc Please consider this agenda correspondence for PH-1.

Here are some comments, referring to numbered items in your resolution 1. Circulation ltems 1 and 2 (Bovsen, Chorro, North Chorro. Broad realignments). On Page 7 of your staff report, the update "process" is described as follows: '1. This is a focused update. We do not need to fix what is not broken. The update needs fo address actual problems. Many of the factors making our city the happiest in North America are incorporated in our present LUE. /f seryes our city well by protecting our quality of life and fiscal sustainability." That was YOUR directive to staff So, perhaps you can explain to a resident whose neighborhood could be devastated by this circulation change - and nobody in the neighborhood has been noticed by the city that this is even being considered, an omission that violates the existing General Plan as well as Council directives to staff on resident notification - Exactly what is "broken" and what "actual problems" are addressed by these far- reaching and costly proposals? I submit to you this is one of the stupidest things the city could do with the $15 million or so it will cost (by the time you condemn houses and business properties), and there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER WHY THE CITY SHOULD EVEN BE LOOKING AT SUCH A RIDICULOUS SET OF PROPOSALS. They accomplish nothing constructive, and do a lot of damage, both neighborhood quality of life damage and economic damage. Leave Boysen open on both ends, leave the alignments of North Broad and Chorro and North Chorro just the way they are. I REQUEST YOU COMPLETELY REMOVE THESE TWO ITEMS FROM FURTHER CONSIDERATION. 2. Circulation Item 7 IM ion Plaza f)on I eo\This silly planning idea, based in paft on ancien regime notions of the city beautiful and modernist notions that culture deserts are a good thing, has been kicking around for too long. Mission Plaza is right-sized, lt doesn't need to be expanded onto Broad Street. That little street is important for efficient multi-modal circulation downtown. lt can continue to be closed for special events on an as needed basis. Please remove it from further consideration 3. Circulation ltem 10 (Bishop Street Extension). Since the Council puts this on ice every time it arises as an actual possibility, why keep it alive? You know now Council will ever approve it. Bishop Street should not be made a cross-town thoroughfare, as it's a residential street. lt's also far too narrow at its Johnson end, so unless you plan to condemn a lot of property, it can never happen. As for a pedestrian bridge - I'd have to ask: Another one? lf Lompoc is the "city of murals," your staff seem to intend SLO to become "the city of bridges." ls that really a distinction you seek? Especially given the unattractive dullness of our bridge efforts so far? (You have more important bridge projects. By my count, you'll need four to complete the next phase of the railroad bike trail: Highway 101, Monterey St., SL Creek, and Johnson Avenue. Shouldn't you "focus" where focus is needed, and get to first things first? Finish the bike path, don't diddle with Bishop Street.) I REQUEST YOU COMPLETELY REMOVE A BISHOP CONNECT]ON OR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FROM FURTHER GENERAL PLAN CONSIDERATION. 4. Circulation ltem 3 (Hiqhwav 101 and Hiqhwav 1) and related items Finally, something I can support. We are long overdue for creating one safe interchange at this highway junction, and in return removinq ALL the other unsafe low-speed on and off ramps between Marsh and California that dum p and draw freeway traffic into neighborhoods. You have no clue, unless you've lived on one of these streets as I have, how totally incompatible freeway-on-ramp traffic is with neighborhood safety and quality of life. Let's move into the 21't century, get one good interchange to replace all the outmoded little ones, and add peacefulness and safety to a whole bunch of neighborhoods. PLEASE INCORPORATE THIS CHANGE INTO THE GENERAL PLAN 5. I would like to add a few comments about what's missing from your CE update physical change list, While staff apparently wants to focus on big in-your-face projects, they neglect the simpler things that would make our city traffic flow more gracefully. They have made circulation so complex and slow with their interventions, like traffic signals with too many cycles, or adding signals that are marginally desirable, that they're contributing to the destruction of residential neighborhoods, like mine, with diversions of cut-through traffic frustrated with delays on arterials. You need policies and programs that deal with such "over-engineering" of traffic signa ls. For example, there's much fuss over traffic on Santa Rosa. But as for congestion, Santa Rosa's not the problem - what the city has done to Foothill and its unwillingness to coordinate with Caltrans on signal timing is the problem. When I moved to my house on North Broad 40+ years ago, there was one very simple two-way signal on Foothill. Traffic flowed smoothly, and there was much less cut-through traffic in the neighborhoods than today (though the speeds were freeway-level). As each successive signal was added on Foothill, and again as each signalwas further modified with more and more cycles which slowed arterial traffic, more cross-town traffic cut through our neighborhood. We could literally see an increase immediately after each complexification of traffic flow took place on Foothill. I believe this was deliberate traffic diversion by the city. Even today, the fastest way downtown from my place on Broad is to go across Murray to Santa Rosa, where one can get all the lights green on the Caltrans section and drive 35 mph -- much faster than cutting through the neighborhood --lF you can avoid the slowness the city has created on Foothill. BTW, before moving here, I lived out off Jeffery, and worked where Scolaris was located on Johnson. I always drove across Foothill to Santa Rosa to Marsh because it was the fastest route by far. I didn't really know about the cut-through route till I moved onto Broad, and woke up that first Monday morning to the chaos of semis, gas tankers, and lots of speeders zipping past my house. SO PLEASE ADD TO THE -PHYSICAL CHANGES" LIST MAKING PHYSICAL CHANGES TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS, REDUCE THEIR CYCLIC COMPLEXITY, AND TO TIME THEM IN COORDINATION WITH CALTRANS This would do wonders to alleviate neighborhood cut-through traffic by getting such traffic back on arterials where it belongs.

Since the district has ¿ilì opcn cnrollment policy, any student can t¡ansl'cr to any school with few limit¿tions. 42 I SLO LIFE MAGAZINE APR/MAY 2019 This revelat¡on has caused some parents to ask the question: J: e, lf the classroom programs at Teach are so effective, why aren't they being implemented district-wide? 1i Snrdents-as is thc case i¡,ith most other school districrs nadonwide-are not required to attend their neighborhot¡d school. fuid, at San Luis Coastal, tlìere is no destination rnore popuJ'ar f'or local 4th graders than Tr:ach School. I)an Block, rhe uruch-l¡uded principal ofboth Bishopt Peak '¡nd Teach Elementary Schools, settled into his dcsk early one August morning to catch rrp on some wolk. The school,vear wes stìll a ferv weeks lwa)., so the h¿lls of the sharecl cânìpus were quiet. Nothing else was calJing for his attention, except for the blìnking cursor on his spreadsheet.

Reccntlv, there had been '¿ lot more young llrnilies rnoving into thc neighborhood ¿round rhe carnpus, making Bishop's Peak their dcfhult destination for elemcntary school. It appears, in part, that Cal Polyt efforts to bring more studcnts to livc baek on carnpus has c¡eated more opporruniries for local f¿milies to buy or rent homcs ìn thc ncighborho.od that sits not far frorn rhe col.lege. \44hatever the case, therc were rnorc neighborhood kids feeding into Rishopì Peak thun had been expected, 'Ihe carnpus th¿t houses both tsishop's Pcak ¿nd Te'¡ch School w¿s dete¡mincd b.y a srucly comnrissir-¡ncd in 2005 to have a nr'¿rimum captcity of525 sn¡denrs,The fin,¡l nunrbcr :lt the bottorn ofBlocks screen read "522."

Carolyn Smith 1 Resid entg for Ghraltt5r Flelgtrbort¡oods P.O. Box 126'o'4 . San Luis Obispo, CA 93406 15 October 2013 Dear Mayor Marks and Members of the Council, From its inception, the mission of Residents for Quality Neighborhoods (RaN) has been to preserve, protect and improve the quality of life in the city's established neighborhoods. Although change is inevitable, residents want to ensure that it is "for the better." After listening to Council's direction that the process should begin with workshops in the neighborhoods occurring simultaneously with receipt of the written survey, and that input from said workshops and questionnaires should occur prior to the formation and meeting of the task force, we were disappointed when this did not occur. Resident outreach "in the neighborhoods" morphed into city-wide workshops held at the Monday Club and Ludwick Center (each attended by about 50 residents) and city-wide Open Houses held at three locations (each with about a dozen attendees) on two separate Saturdays. This city-wide approach for obtaining initial input regarding issues of concern to residents did not consider the value of neighbors meeting together to discuss common issues and share their visions, and the synergy that occurs in such meetings - nor do these workshops appear to have met either the spirit or the letter of Council's direction. Later, two city-wide Future Fairs were held with 50-60 at Future Fair I and 208 (40 without addresses) at Future Fair ll. Future Fair 2 was an opportunity for residents to comment on the 1-9 land use and 1.9 circulation proposals. Only six (6) neighborhoods affected by a land use proposal were noticed; no neighborhoods affected by circulation proposals were noticed, The reason given was the excessive cost if post cards were sent to all potentially affected neighborhoods. Parenthetically, a resident of the Oceanaire area, one of the neighborhoods noticed, indicated on a comment card that the post card was uninformative and useless and none of the about fifty neighbors she spoke with understood its significance. This comment was reminiscent of Andrew Carter's observation from the dias that we (the City) send notices, but we do not communicate. It appears to us that some obvious issues have not been captured by this process, No survey question addressed, for example, party noise, and yet this is the reason most often given when long-time residents leave the city. No survey question addressed the increased population density experienced in some of our established neighborhoods and the effects that has had on residents' quality of life. These are some of the issues that may have emerged had meetings been held in the neighborhoods. With regard to the land use and circulation alternatives being presented, the RQN Board, with input from our members, submit the recommendations shown at attachments 1 and 2. We ask that you keep preservation of the City's established neighborhoods in mind as you deliberate and make your decisions. Sincerely, Carolyn Smith Secretary RQN Attachment L Land Use A - Nativity Church Site. We agree this site should be removed from consideration. B - Santa Rosa and Foothill Area. (1) We support retainingthe current Commercial Retail (CR) designation forthe propertytothe north of Foothill between Santa Rosa and North Chorro (University Square) favored by the developer and encourage the inclusion of a substantial housing component. We would not support parking policy changes that further decrease required residential parking. We would not support height policy changes that ignore or dismiss Scenic Roadway designations; both Foothill and Santa Rosa are Scenic Roadways. Although we believe University Square is a prime location for medium high or high density housing because of a) proximity to Cal Poly, b) bordering a neighborhood of primarily apartments, c) proximity to transit, and d) easy downtown access via Santa Rosa minimizing the need to cut through residential neighborhoods, we understand housing can be part of a CR development. (2) We do not support the addition of housing to either the commercial parcel located to the east of North Chorro or to the commercial parcels south of Foothill that border on Chorro Street. This long- established neighborhood south of Foothill is highly impacted by population density, traffic and parking; maximizing housing on these properties would exacerbate those problems, Also, we do not support realignment of streets in this area, shown in alternative B-4, since that would intentionally direct traffic down Chorro and/or Broad. These two-lane residential streets, should not be confused with gateways into the city. C - Old Pacheco School Site. We agree with the Alta Vista and Monterey Heights neighbors, and the School District that this site should be removed from consideration. D - Diocese Property Along Bressi. We agree this site should be removed from consideration and the RSF and OS designations retained. E - Upper Monterey Area. We have no input regarding this site F - Downtown Area. We have no input regarding this area G - Mid-Higuera Area. We have no input regarding this area. H - CalTrans Site. We have no input regarding this area other than that Madonna and Higuera are Scenic Roadways. L.L | - General Hospital Site. We support retaining the current designations for the site (PF, a horizontal band of RLD, and OS to the city limit). Several uses are allowed in R-L that would be consistent with the site, such as residential care facilities, rest homes and similar types of uses. Upzoning to R-2, or endorsing policies to increase the flexibility of the site without notice to adjacent neighborhoods is contrary to Neighborhood Wellness policies and programs. Adjacent neighborhoods were not noticed. J - Broad Street Area Plan. We believe it is good forthe health of the community as a whole if existing businesses are protected and, also, allowed to expand. K - Sunset Drive-in Area. L - Dalidio. We have no input regarding these areas. M - Pacific Beach School Site, We believe the current PF designation should be retained until either the adjacent neighborhood is clearly noticed and allowed to discuss their concerns about the site, or until a project is brought forward for consideration, thus requiring notice to residents. lf the site is developed as mixed use with a substantial housing component, the addition of dense housing along with tenants' vehicles will have negative impacts on the existing neighborhood. The same impact will occur if the site is developed as Commercial Retailwith a substantial residential component. The site is adjacent to a neighborhood of single-family homes with no nearby park facilities, an amenity that73.4% of respondents to the 2Ot2 survey stated they would like to have, and is bordered on the southeast and southwest by congested roadways. The current configuration of the site allows for some park-like activities to occur. ln addition, area residents were not noticed about this proposed change. N - Calle Joaquin Auto Sales. O - Madonna Property. We have no input regarding these areas. P - LOVR Near Overpass Area. Apparently residents of Los Verdes I & ll sometimes have difficulty crossing LOVR to visit one another. We would hope this problem is fixed prior to or during development of this site. Q - Margarita Area Specific Plan. R - Tank Farm at Broad. S - Avila Ranch Area. We have no input regarding these areas L-2 Attachment 2 Per LUE porograph 2.7.3, Neighborhood Traffic, neiahborhoods should be protected from intrusive traffic. Per CE, Overoll Transportation Strategy #5, Focusinq troffic on Arteriol Streets and Reqional Routes and Hiahwavs; qnd #6 Per CE, Neighborhood Traffic Monagement Policy 7.0.7, Throuqh traffic should use Regionøl Routes ond Highways, Arteriols, Parkwoy Arterials qnd Residentiol Arteriol streets ond should not use Collectors or Locol streets. (All underlininq added) Circulation 1. - Boysen & Santa Rosa We support retaining the current configuration of Boysen at Santa Rosa. Egress from Boysen south onto Santa Rosa keeps traffic headed downtown on Santa Rosa, a main thoroughfare, in lieu of cutting through the Chorro or Broad Street residential neighborhoods. We support installation of signals and a crosswalk at Boysen and Santa Rosa. The street at this location is directly across from the Stenner Glen complex, the tenants of which routinely walk, run or bike across Santa Rosa at this location. A signal that changes in concert with the signal at Santa Rosa and Foothill would facilitate crossing Santa Rosa as well as adding to pedestrian safety. A signal properly timed is considerably less expensive and, thus, more apt to be put in place sooner than a bridge or tunnel. Also, a signal would seem to be more visually appealing than a "Jennifer Street bridge" across Santa Rosa. 2 - Vehicular Access Near Foothill Boulevard. We strongly oppose all proposals to realign Broad, Chorro and Boysen streets. lf another through street from the north toward the downtown is desired, suggest California be evaluated. Currently, there is safe access from Boysen heading both north and south. With r¡ght-turn access to North Chorro going north and right-turn access to Santa Rosa going south, there is no need to cross traffic. lngress is a right turn from Santa Rosa heading south and a right turn from North Chorro headingnorth. Ascurrentlyconfigured,thisisoneofthesaferstreetstoenterandexit. It is unclearwhy a proposalwas selected that results in both of these 2-lane residential streets being used as throughways into downtown. We do not understand why intentionally moving traffic off of a 4-lane arterial and directing it onto residential streets is the "preferred alternative." This is contrary to every traffic policy and program in the LUE and CE, and to common sense, and does not bode well for neighborhood-friendly policies in the updates. Connecting Boysen - Chorro and Broad - North Chorro transforms these streets from single-family residential streets into preferred routes into the downtown entertainment district for tenants of all those apartments as well as, potentially, other residents, and tourists. And,theChorrorealignmentwilldemolishseveral nicelykepthomes,atleastoneofwhichis owner-occupied. A few years ago traffic-calming measures were added to both Chorro and Broad streets to keep traffic from using them, and put that traffic on Santa Rosa. Said measures have been successful. Now, it appears there is a push to undo the efforts that were made to help these neighborhoods. 2-t 3 - CA-1 & US L01- lnterchange. We oppose closing the Olive Street ramps and we oppose adding this new interchange. Constructing an interchange at this location is disruptive to existing, established neighborhoods. There are too many negative impacts to the residential neighborhoods, and insufficient positive outcomes to make up for the disruption that would be created for both residents and established neighborhoods. 4 - Broad Street & US L01 lnterchange. We have no input regarding this item. We did, however, notice comments regardingthis item on page PHL-86that mentioned a need for traffic calming measures on Broad, and that closing Broad at l.OL would close the vessel for the neighborhood to access other areas, rerouting would just add more traffic to other areas and would be extremely limiting to the people that live in the neighborhood. 5 - Marsh/Higuera & Pismo/Buchon Two-way Roads and Couplets. We have no input regarding Marsh/Hlguera, but we do not support any change to Buchon. 6 - Transit Center Relocation. We have no input regarding this item 7 - Broad Street Dog Leg (Mission Plaza Expansion) We support retaining the existing conditions for the reasons stated in the last comment on page PH-1- 92, i.e., infringes on the rights of property owners; adds to congestion on adjacent streets (in a 4-block stretch on Palm Street there is Mission Prep, the Mission and two parking structures; with any given event this area is already congested); closure would enhance transient/homeless issues in the area. We believe installation of a 3-way stop in lieu of the two stop signs currently in place would preclude much of the confusion previously referred to, 8 - Realign Bianchi and Pismo. The options are at least as confusing as the existing conditions. 9 - Realign Madonna to Bridge Street instead of Higuera. We strongly oppose this realignment. lt purposely connects residential neighborhoods to a fast-moving, extremely busy street. We believe the realignment will create cut-through, speeding and safety problems for residents who purposely did not choose to live on a busy street. This proposal "may better address some pedestrian and bike connections," but it does so at the expense of neighborhoods. lt would seem more productive to try to solve the pedestrian/bike issue(s) without creating other problems elsewhere. This is currently an efficient intersection in that it allows traffic to flow onto the north and southbound L0L with minimal stops and minimal congestion while providing access to shopping centers. A median large enough for a bicycle and rider or3-4 pedestrians was added to facilitate crossing Madonna at Higuera Street. lf there is insufficient time for pedestrians or bicyclists to cross at this intersection, the signal length for crossing could be extended as was done on LOVR. 2-2 10 - Bishop Street Extension. We strongly support the elimination of a bridge to carry all modes of traffic, and we question, but do not oppose, the need for a pedestrian/bicycle bridge in view of the proximity of the Jennifer Street bridge and the existence of the railroad safety trail. Bishop Street is a quiet, 2-lane residential street in an established neighborhood. We believe that use of this street to connect Broad and Johnson, two busy 4-lane streets, will create a number of previously non-existent problems. ln addition to dissecting the neighborhood, a concern we do not take lightly, the volume of drivers that choose to "cut through" the neighborhood will likely not think to reduce their speed from 35-40 mph to the residential 25 mph. Because this is a neighborhood street there is not the width to provide parking and bicycle lanes and a safety median to enable people to cross the street and still have room for two driving lanes. This alternative neither preserves nor protects this neighborhood. The relative proximity of the Jennifer Street bridge to this location and the connectivity provided to the bridge from Orcutt Road via the railroad safety trail create questions about the need for a pedestrian/bike bridge this close to the one we have. 11 - Victoria Connection to Emily. 12 - Broad Street - Consolidate Access. We have no input regarding these items L3 - Orcutt Road Overpass. We do not support keeping this project in the CE Several things have changed since this overpass was proposed that reduce the need for the project. Bullock Lane was realigned, the intersection was improved and re-signalized, a section of Orcutt Road was widened, Sacramento Drive was improved, and changed so that it connected Orcutt with lndustrial Way, and the railroad upgraded the crossing. Previously, being stopped by a train resulted in the choice between sitting untilthe train passed or returning to Broad/Orcutt. Now there are additional choices. Plans for overpass construction include razing the business at Orcutt and Laurel, and, it appears, re- doing the Orcutt-Laurel-Bullock intersection. The current number of trains is minimal (although that could change), some are at night or early morning, and an RQN member reported being stopped only once in a 6-month period, and then for only 30 seconds. L4 - Froom Connect to Oceanaire Neighborhood. We agree with the Oceanaire neighborhood that this should be removed l-5 - Prado Road lnterchange vs Overpass. L6 - Connection to Dalidio from Froom and/or Calle Joaquin. 17 - Realign Vachel Lane. 18 - N-S Connection between Tank Farm and Buckley L9 - Buckley to LOVR Connections. We have no input regarding these items. 2-3
