SUBJECT : Public Hearing Item No . 1 ; Continued hearing on the appeal of the SLO Brewin g
Company relocation project ;736/738 Higuera Street (A 57-12 )
This memo responds to additional questions regarding the SLO brewing Company relocatio n
project :
What improvements, if any, are now required from the Warden Bridge to the rear entrance o f
the new SLO Brew ?
No improvememnts are required from Warden Bridge to the subject property because use o f
this route has been removed from the scope of the project . Per recommended condition #27,
the applicant will upgrade the pedestrian bridge route (the route east of Warden Bridge) an d
the subject property, as necessary, to remove any obstructions or uneven pavement, an d
provide an evaluation of creek-side lighting .
However, maintenance to Warden Bridge is scheduled as part of a funded Capita l
Improvement Plan project. The project includes smoothing/re-leveling of the existing surface ,
new code-compliant guard rails, and a new handrail along the west portion of the bridge . The
project is scheduled to begin January of 2013 and will take approximately one month to
complete . The maintenance project will be completed prior to the proposed relocation of SL O
Brewing Company .
Condition 3 – With respect to occupant loads, what is the definition of "substantially
comply"?
The Community Development Department uses the term substantial compliance to revie w
modifications to a project as compared to an original approval . In terms of this Use Permit, th e
Community Development Director defines substantial compliance as at, or below, th e
maximum occupant loads provided in project plans reviewed by City Council on Novembe r
20, 2012 and in compliance with California Building Code requirements .

Condition 13 — Why has music/entertainment that is "clearly incidental, allowing for norma l
conversation levels" been removed ?
Condition #13 was modified because condition #9 was added to preclude all live or ambien t
entertainment in any outdoor areas, including the proposed rooftop use .
Condition 40 — Why has the hold harmless clause been removed ?
The hold harmless clause was a recommendation to mitigate against any liability that could b e
alleged against the City as a result of the intensification of use and proposed queuing o n
Warden Bridge . Condition #40, which specifically relates to use of the Warden Bridge, ha s
been removed because use of the Warden Bridge route is no longer proposed as alternat e
queue.
