NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
San Luis Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings regarding the project.
1. That the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
2. That the proposed project, as modified, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
welfare of those working or residing in the vicinity since the proposed project is consistent
with the City’s General Plan, the site' s zoning and property development standards, the
requirements of Ordinance No. 1130 (1989 Series), as amended by Ordinance No. 1651
(2018 Series) and will be subject to conformance with all applicable building, fire, and
safety codes.
3. That the proposed project has been designed to be compatible with the adjacent creek and
residential uses along San Luis Drive in accordance with the design criteria set forth in
Ordinance No. 1130, as amended by Ordinance No. 1651.
Resolution No. PC-1078-23
2223 Monterey Street, ARCH-0327-2021
Page 3
4. That approval of an exception from standards for Fences, Walls, and Hedges (Zoning Regs.
§ 17.70.070 (B)) to allow the proposed vegetated sound wall at the northern boundary of
the property at 12 feet in height (where standards typically limit wall height to eight feet)
is consistent with the intent of the City’s Zoning Regulations and applicable General Plan
policies, consistent with the character of the neighborhood, and provides adequate
consideration of and measures to address any potential adverse effects on surrounding
properties. While site characteristics or existing improvements make strict adherence to the
maximum Zoning Regulations impractical or infeasible, or the project nonetheless
conforms with the intent of these Regulations. The proposed wall will not affect the
streetscape or neighborhood character because it is located at the interface between the
subject property and US Highway 101, with the grade differential between the site and
highway reducing the apparent height of the wall as seen from Highway 101, and screening
provided by existing vegetation along the highway shoulder.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The Planning Commission hereby finds that:
1. The proposed project, as conditioned herein, is consistent with the requirements of the
Motel Inn Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted by the Planning Commission on
March 23, 2016, and this action incorporates those mitigation measures as detailed herein.
2. All potentially significant effects were analyzed adequately in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and in the Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the
revised proejct, subject to the following mitigation measures being incorporated into the
project and the mitigation monitoring program in light of the modifications to the design
of the project:
AIR QUALITY MITIGATION
Mitigation Measure AQ-1: Prior to issuance of building permits, all mitigations and
recommended actions from the November 17, 2015 APCD letter commenting on the Motel
Inn project shall be addressed to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
Monitoring Plan AQ- 1: All mitigation measures shall be shown on grading and building
plans. In addition, the contractor shall designate a person or persons to monitor the dust
control program and to order increased watering, as necessary, to prevent transport of dust
off site. Their duties shall include holiday and weekend periods when work may not be in
progress. The name and telephone number of such persons shall be provided to the APCD,
Community Development and Public Works Departments prior to commencement of
construction.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES MITIGATION
Mitigation Measure BIO-1: The project shall include a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) to address erosion control and shall also incorporate the following measures
for work in and around the riparian corridor:
a. No heavy equipment should enter flowing water.
Resolution No. PC-1078-23
2223 Monterey Street, ARCH-0327-2021
Page 4
b. Equipment will be fueled and maintained in an appropriate staging area removed
from the riparian corridor.
c. Restrict all heavy construction equipment to the project area or established staging
areas.
d. All project-related spills of hazardous materials within or adjacent to the project
area shall be cleaned up immediately. Spill prevention and clean up materials
should be onsite at all times during construction.
e. All spoils should be relocated to an upland location outside the creek channel area
to prevent seepage of sediment into the drainage/creek system.
Monitoring Plan, BIO 1: All mitigation measures shall be shown on grading and building
plans and be clearly visible to contractors and City inspectors. Erosion control measures
shall be reviewed by the City's Community Development and Public Works Departments,
and the City's Natural Resources Manager. City staff will periodically inspect the site for
continued compliance with the above mitigation measures.
Mitigation Measure BIO-2: Plans submitted for Building Permit Application shall include
a creek restoration and enhancement plan identifying the removal of non- native vegetation
within the creek bank and replacement with appropriate native trees, shrubs and
groundcovers.
Monitoring Plan, BIO 2: Final plans shall be reviewed by the City' s Natural Resources
Manager as part of the Building Permit application package, who shall require
modifications to the creek restoration and enhancement plan as necessary to ensure that an
appropriate mix of plantings, in type, size and quantity is proposed, and that best practices
are utilized while working within the creek corridor.
CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION
Mitigation Measure CR-1: Prior to issuance of construction permits a monitoring plan in
conformance with requirements of City Archaeological Preservation Program Guidelines
shall be submitted and approved by the Community Development Director. The monitoring
plan shall be submitted by a City approved subsurface archaeologist and all monitoring and
construction work shall be carried out consistent with the approved monitoring plan. In the
event excavations or any ground disturbance activities encounter significant
paleontological resources, archaeological resources, or cultural materials, then
construction activities, which may affect them, shall cease until the extent of the resource
is determined and the Community Development Director approves appropriate protective
measures or mitigation in conformance with Archaeological Resource Preservation
Program Guidelines section 4.60. If pre-historic Native American artifacts are encountered,
a Native American monitor should be called in to work with the archaeologist to document
and remove the items. Disposition of artifacts shall comply with state and federal laws. A
note concerning this requirement shall be included on all relevant sheets with ground
disturbance activities with clear notes and callouts.

mitigation measure.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MITIGATION
Mitigation Measure HAZ-1: The applicant shall comply with the recommendations
contained in the Phase I environmental site assessment prepared by Ceres Associates to
