Hi All,
Instead of refunding and starting over again we will just respond to your comments on the
current subdivision with an amendment with the density bonus subdivision, probably easier
for everyone that way. We will get you the amended map by the end of the month

Good Afternoon,
I wanted give a comprehensive update on the process timeline for the project. We have hit
some delays recently due to current staffing levels and having to review a number of Initial
Studies for different projects. I was able to discuss this with my supervisor, Shawna Scott,
who also is tasked with final reviews of all initial studies, to get a realistic timeline.
At this time, City staff and consultant will still need at least 15 working days to get the
document finalized. Given the 30 day public review of the environmental document, it is
necessary to move the Planning Commission hearing date to May 12, 2021.
We are also circulating the proposed phasing plan to necessary departments to make sure
they have an opportunity request any additional information need to condition the project
appropriately with the phasing. While the phasing plan is not directly causing any delays on
its own, this additional time will also ensure that appropriate review and conditioning of the
phasing can be fully accommodated.
None of this changes the final Council Hearing date which is scheduled for July.
We appreciate your flexibility and patience as we work through the reviews.
Thank you,

Good Morning,
Linked below is Agenda Correspondence for the Architectural Review Commission. As
you’ll see in my response to Ms. Stelfox, the Planning Commission approved the 163
Serrano Heights project on April 14, 2021, so this is additional communication to make the
PC and ARC aware of concerns regarding a previously approved project. Since the date of
Planning Commission’s approval, the Architectural Review Commission has not reviewed
the 163 Serrano Heights project. Ms. Stelfox expressed interest in attending tonight’s
meeting to express her concerns personally.

Mike, would you please call me tomorrow so we can discuss the broad st subdivision. Id
appreciate a full credit of fees based on staff changing its mind at the very end of the review
process. Following staffs inital direction I paid roughly 13k in fees to the city as well as over
20k for reports and engineering. After completing the environmental review senior staff
decided to interpret the rules differently costing me a lot of time and money. To add insult to
injury after saying they would fix an error to allow one of the parcels to be approved they
changed their mind again. I will settle for a credit of all the fees I paid to the city for this
subdivision to be applied to the density bonus subdivision I will submit in its place. If I dont
hear from you tomorrow I will refer the case to my lawyer.
Thank you

Hi Kyle,
Call me to discuss if you like. I could change this generic condition to provide more clarity
as we don’t know whether they will have work within the public right-of-way. We will not
require a subdivision improvement plan but the second half of the condition allows us to
collect plan review fees beyond our minimal building plan review fee if we deem
necessary. We will absolutely need to collect a separate map review fee which comes as a
surprise sometimes so we now clarify with this condition. I could break this up into two
parts in necessary. Otherwise, John Rourke has processed enough subdivisions that he
will understand. Our staff should understand their discretion as well. Lets chat. Thanks,
Hal

Subject: 163 Serrano Condition Question
Can you provide some clarification on this condition? It seems to contradict itself, or at least
the way that I am reading it?
1. A separate subdivision improvement or miscellaneous public improvement plan is not
required. The building plan submittal may be used to show some or all of the required
private on-site subdivision improvements. Improvements located within the public
right-of-way will require a separate encroachment permit and associated inspection
fees based on the fee schedule in effect at the time of permit issuance, if applicable. A
separate subdivision improvement plan review fee and subdivision map check fee will
be required for the Public Works Department review and inspection of the public
subdivision/development improvements and map in accordance with the most current
fee resolution.

Hey Kyle,
In response to our discussion yesterday regarding the Director’s Action review for an ADU height
exception at 163 Serrano Heights Drive-
We understand the potential concern about the location of the proposed ADU and the possible
impacts to the neighboring property. We believe that the existing conditions on the site will help to
mitigate this. The neighboring property to the south (167 Serrano Heights Drive) is situated at a
higher elevation than 163 and is visually blocked by a row of trees separating the properties. This
will help to ensure a visual barrier from the proposed ADU to minimize impact to privacy. The fact
that 167 Serrano Heights is located to the south of the proposed second floor ADU will also prevent
shading from southern sun exposure onto the neighboring property.
Please let us know if you any additional information.
Thanks,
Cody Lorance

Hi Kyle,
Just a couple things then good to go:
You don’t need to send Donre the Environmental Legal ad, just the NOI
The NOI references Oct 7 date – looks like a leftover, please correct
Thanks,
Shawna
PS – I’ll check out the NOC and Summary form before uploading to SCH on Thursday.

Hey Shawna,
I have been gearing up for the legal noticing of 163 Serrano Heights for this Thursday, and
provided a list of documents I have prepared for your review;
Notice of Intent
Environmental Legal Ad
Notice of Completion
Summary Form for Document Submittal
Donre, once I have the green light from Shawna I will need the Notice of Intent to be in the

I thought I might share a suggested outline for your presentation tonight.
Staff’s Presentation
Summary of project site location
Location within the City, zoning, proximity to residential and other uses in the
vicinity.
Project features
Requested exceptions
Overview of compliance with code requirements and required findings
Environmental Review Determination
Applicant Team’s Presentation
Introduction of yourself and background on the intent of the application (provide
justification on how this project is the best use of the site)
Inspiration of orientation of lot lines
How you arrived at choosing the layout and three lots instead of more or less.
Expectation of future development
Examples in the vicinity for project materials, building orientation, mass and
scale, offsets and articulation, compliance with hillside development standards
and design considerations that respond to the neighborhood context
(specifically adjacency to low intensity uses).
Expected timeline of when properties may be developed
Try to keep it between 3 – 10 minutes.
Staff’s presentation will be focused reminding the Commission of the process and the next
steps and introduce the platform for them to provide direction for comments or conditions.

Serrano Heights ISMND_public review draft.docx
Hi Kyle,
I went ahead and added a tribal monitor mitigation to the Tribal Cultural section. I chose not to add
it to the Cultural section because this is mostly a tribal concern, as the arch report did not identify
this site as being sensitive for archaeological resources.
Per my email below, if Patti only requested monitoring in the event of unanticipated discover, I
would suggest modifying the TR mitigation to only require a Salinan monitor if resources are
discovered. Tribal monitoring even without an archeologist can be expensive for a project of this
size. (Note that if human remains are discovered if will be up to the state to decide which tribe is the
most likely descendant and the appropriate contact.)
I’ve also gone ahead and added the wildfire mitigation measure for Rodger to review and revised the
Noise mitigation per our discussion yesterday.
I’m cc-ing Shawna on this due to your out-of-office message, in case things need to move before
you’re back.
Have a nice Christmas!

Subject: RE: 163 Serrano Mitigation Measure
Hi Kyle,
A quick follow up on this request from the Salinan. Is the Salinan Tribe requesting to be notified in
the event of unidentified discovery, or are they requesting monitoring during ground activities? If
the first, then I can modify the existing mitigation measure CR-1 that was in the draft MND to include
a requirement that the Salinan Tribe also be notified in addition to an archaeologist and the City. The
two example measures you emailed over are more related to if the tribe has asked for monitoring
during all ground disturbance. We can certainly include this, but if they are just asking to be notified
of accidental discovery, I would suggest we just modify CR-1. Requiring a Salinan monitor and
possibly an archaeological monitor could be costly to the project applicant/future home developers.
Let me know which you prefer.
Best,

Example language for the Project Description
Native American Tribes were notified about the project consistent with City and State regulations
including, but not limited to, Assembly Bill 52. A representative from the Salinan tribe requested to
be notified in the event of unanticipated discoveries, and this measure has been included as a
mitigation requirement (refer to Section 18. Tribal Cultural Resources and Section 5 Cultural

TCR-1 A representative from the Salinan Tribe shall be notified prior to any ground disturbing activities to
provide for on-site monitoring. If cultural resources are encountered during subsurface earthwork
activities, all ground disturbing activities within a 25-foot radius of the find shall cease and the City shall
be notified immediately consistent with the requirements of Mitigation Measure CR-4. If the find includes
Native American affiliated materials, a Native American tribal representative from local tribes, including
the yak titʸu titʸu yak tilhini Northern Chumash Tribe and the Salinan Tribe of San Luis Obispo and
Monterey Counties, shall be notified as requested during the project’s AB 52 tribal consultation process.
Monitoring Program: This measure shall be noted on all grading and construction plans. The City Community
Development Department shall verify compliance through initial and regular inspections.

Hey Kyle,
Attached to this email is the invoice for SBDV-0493-2021 for the proposed tentative tract
map which will split the two lots of 281 Broad & 370 Hill into seven small lots. Per the
application checklist, the applicant still needs to provide proof of authorization from all
parties consenting to the proposed subdivision, in particular the owners of 281 Broad
Street, Kristopher and Brittany Couch. The applicant also needs to provide an Assessor
Parcel Map with the properties to be subdivided highlighted.
Please let me know if and/or when you receive confirmation of application payment from
the applicant.
Thanks,

Great, thank you for providing all of those items.
I am still waiting on an updated project description that Scott mentioned he could provide by
the end of the week, but other than that I have routed out the project materials to initiate the
completeness review.
I am going to provide a preliminary analysis of the project in terms of consistency with the
Density Bonus Law and Subdivision Regulations before initiating the environmental review
with SWCA so that they can provide a more accurate project scope and cost analysis. I will
try to have this done by the end of next week. Once I have an estimated project scope I will
send it to you for confirmation before payment.

Hi All,
At this point id prefer something in writing from the city citing what is happening now since
it sounds like you are deciding not to do what you said you would do. I Have acted in good
faith and met several times on this subdivision and have gotten different answers depending
on who ive talked too. At this point I think we will proceed with a subdivision using the
density bonus law to overcome the obstacles that were not obstacles when we started the
process over a year ago.
Thanks

it sounds like you are deciding not to do what you said you would do. I Have acted in good
faith and met several times on this subdivision and have gotten different answers depending
on who ive talked too. At this point I think we will proceed with a subdivision using the
density bonus law to overcome the obstacles that were not obstacles when we started the
process over a year ago.
Thanks
John

So its just a time frame issue? It has to happen with a general plan ammendment? It might
be worth telling them that we are planning on coming back with a subdivion taking
advantage of the density bonus law that should circumvent the planning guidelines, im sure
they have a summary of what they want to talk about, lets start with an email, I think the
answer will be the density bonus law.

Sorry John, I can’t explain it all that well, but the attorney’s office is now
saying that a general plan amendment is required for correcting the issue,
which we are only allowed to do three amendments per year. I don’t
understand all the details but they want to set up a meeting with you to
explain it. I would recommend that you have your lawyer attend.
Let me check in on Serrano and see where we are.

My understanding is that it is a new application because the new project will need to be
processed as a Tract Map and the current application was for a Parcel Map.
I am pretty sure we have in the past upgraded applications and we were able to transfer the
fees from one application to another and just have the applicant pay the difference (been a
few years since I have done it though).
SBDV-0159-2019 Paid $3,277.82
Tentative Tract Map fee: $12,226.98
I can have Rebecca adjust the Tentative Tract Map fee to reflect the difference.
We should also be thinking about the environmental review fee as we have already
exhausted the funds for it, we may need to do a new PSA for SWCA to adjust the IS based
on the changes to the project (once submitted).

Thursday sounds good, I can be available after 3 pm.
I am also very aware of the State Density Bonus Law so I see where you are
going with this.
One thing to note, if you want to utilize the density bonus law you will need to
provide a minimum of 5 units, otherwise the project won’t qualify, and you won’t
be able to designate any ADUs as affordable units. Which means we are looking
at a 5 lot subdivision which is no longer a minor subdivision and will be reviewed
as a Tract Map, it will be difficult to design the lots in a way that will still provide a
minimum of 1 density unit per lot (inclusive of the bonus). You will need to be
strategic in your request for incentives versus waivers.
One big issue that may come up is that cramming the site with 5 units on a steep
slope could have potential for findings of a specific, adverse impact which is the
avenue that a City would have to deny the project.
A “specific, adverse impact” is defined to mean a “significant, quantifiable, direct,
and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or
safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the
application was deemed complete.” Government Code § 65589.5(j)(1).
After I look into this more I may have more to share about the process and I will
try to identify all the risks.

I am available on Thursday afternoon but Wednesday is booked already.
The state density bonus law creates a lot of flexibility and overrules any of your standards
that physically limit the development to get the most units possible.
We have processed a few projects with it recently in SLO, Paso, and SLO County so I am
very familiar with the law and I am happy to walk you through it.
Corey Tyler and Walter were involved in a recent project on Higuera where we used the
density bonus law.

We are talking about the State's density bonus law and we wanted to set up a conference

the density bonus law and if we need to pull in anyone else for the discussion.

Hey John,
I floated this by all the planners and got a pretty universal no on this. The
PD regulations for the City are very different than the County, part of the
intent of allowing flexibility from development standards through this
process is to allow more innovative and higher quality design (among
other things), one of the required findings for the PD is specifically related
to consistency with the Community Design Guidelines. Therefore, the
flexibility from the Design Guidelines would not be available to PD
project.
Then on top of that are those mandadory project features (affordablility,
LEED, open space, or significant public plaza), which this project would
have a hard time meeting these requirements.
I believe a PD is not the way to go for this project, it would also require
rezoning of the property and a development plan for each lot. This would
be far more expensive and time consuming than the current process.

Thursday sounds good, I can be available after 3 pm.
I am also very aware of the State Density Bonus Law so I see where
you are going with this.
One thing to note, if you want to utilize the density bonus law you will
need to provide a minimum of 5 units, otherwise the project won’t
qualify, and you won’t be able to designate any ADUs as affordable
units. Which means we are looking at a 5 lot subdivision which is no
longer a minor subdivision and will be reviewed as a Tract Map, it will
be difficult to design the lots in a way that will still provide a minimum
of 1 density unit per lot (inclusive of the bonus). You will need to be
strategic in your request for incentives versus waivers.
One big issue that may come up is that cramming the site with 5 units
on a steep slope could have potential for findings of a specific, adverse
impact which is the avenue that a City would have to deny the project.
A “specific, adverse impact” is defined to mean a “significant,
quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective,
identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or
conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed
complete.” Government Code § 65589.5(j)(1).
After I look into this more I may have more to share about the process
and I will try to identify all the risks.

I am available on Thursday afternoon but Wednesday is booked already.
The state density bonus law creates a lot of flexibility and overrules any of
your standards that physically limit the development to get the most units
possible.
We have processed a few projects with it recently in SLO, Paso, and SLO
County so I am very familiar with the law and I am happy to walk you
through it.
Corey Tyler and Walter were involved in a recent project on Higuera where
we used the density bonus law.

We are talking about the State's density bonus law and we wanted to set up
a conference call to discuss how that would work on this project. Not sure
how familiar you are with the density bonus law and if we need to pull in
anyone else for the discussion.

Hi Kyle, Scott suggested we use the states affordable housing bonuses as
a way to continue the subdivision process. Im assuming this will give us
the flexibility need to continue and may even give us additional lots.
Scott can you chime in on this?

Hey John,
I floated this by all the planners and got a pretty universal no
on this. The PD regulations for the City are very different than
the County, part of the intent of allowing flexibility from
development standards through this process is to allow more
innovative and higher quality design (among other things),
one of the required findings for the PD is specifically related to
consistency with the Community Design Guidelines.
Therefore, the flexibility from the Design Guidelines would not
be available to PD project.
Then on top of that are those mandadory project features
(affordablility, LEED, open space, or significant public plaza),
which this project would have a hard time meeting these
requirements.
I believe a PD is not the way to go for this project, it would
also require rezoning of the property and a development plan
for each lot. This would be far more expensive and time
consuming than the current process.

Good Afternoon,
I wanted give a comprehensive update on the process timeline for the project. We have hit
some delays recently due to current staffing levels and having to review a number of Initial
Studies for different projects. I was able to discuss this with my supervisor, Shawna Scott,
who also is tasked with final reviews of all initial studies, to get a realistic timeline.
At this time, City staff and consultant will still need at least 15 working days to get the
document finalized. Given the 30 day public review of the environmental document, it is
necessary to move the Planning Commission hearing date to May 12, 2021.
We are also circulating the proposed phasing plan to necessary departments to make sure
they have an opportunity request any additional information need to condition the project
appropriately with the phasing. While the phasing plan is not directly causing any delays on
its own, this additional time will also ensure that appropriate review and conditioning of the
phasing can be fully accommodated.
None of this changes the final Council Hearing date which is scheduled for July.
We appreciate your flexibility and patience as we work through the reviews.
Thank you,

The Serrano one was approved, you can move forward with the map

The City is still working on a response to the Broad Street proposal, we will
send you a letter this Friday. In summary, the project does not qualify for a
density bonus because it only provides for the creation of 4 new homes, in
order to qualify you would need to squeeze in one more lot. However, I am
also having the Attorney’s office respond to all other inquiries that were
included with the proposal. I wont be able to answer any questions at this
time as I am still waiting for more information, but once we have the letter it
should provide a clear understanding of the parameters of the application
requests.

Thank you for your response, At this time Id like to ask for a refund of all fees incurred for
this subdivision or a credit towards the Density bonus subdivision that we will present in the
coming months. We went forward with a subdivision based on staff recommendations only
to have staff change its mind just before sending it to planning commission. I am out a lot
of time and money but am willing to move forward. I have read your concerns and I am
confident that we will be able to work together to come up with a subdivision that will meet
California's density bonus law.
Thanks

HI all,
Thanks for the response, if needed we can add one more house to the subdivision, we will
research if existing homes can be counted. Im fine either way. We are not asking to move
the urban reserve line, the exception would be to build above it. City staff previously stated
that the Url is lower on this property as the result of an error and they would fix it then
rescinded the offer to fix it so it seems crazy to inforce it when you already admitted the
error. Worst case we can move the building envelope below the url but only if we have no
other option. Scott Stokes will also be addressing, please include him on all future emails.
Thanks

Hi John,
Kyle Bell will continue to be the planner assigned to the project. I recommend that we close
out the prior application and create a new application for your submittal due to the changes
from the original project scope and necessary entitlements. I will follow-up with you on how
best to address the fees from the prior application.

I think the easiest way forward is to add another lot and to set all our building envelopes
below the url, we will resubmit a map that reflects that and what exceptions we are asking
for. Do you want us to submit it under the current application? If not who do I talk to about
refund of fees from the last application as a credit for new application?
Who should be my point of contact? It seems like no one responds because no one is sure
who should.
Thanks

Thank you for the call today Kyle, it calmed me down. Just a heads up we are doing tile work
and fencing in case the neighbor complains about that. The tile work is cosmetic and the fence
will be per city standards.
Thanks

Subdividing my property shouldnt give me less property rights than my neighbors. Might be
worth letting the planning commission know that with a density bonus subdivision on the
property we would achieve 15 lots with little to no tree protection. Im leaning towards that
know.

Hey John,
Can you hold off on any more trimming, we are working on a write up for you

two of the trees you cut down were Oaks over 10-inches in diameter.
It would be wise to hold off on any other improvements at this time, until we

However, it would be helpful if you could do something about the wood chip

We’ll discuss this more in the morning, but I wanted you to see the existing restoration plan
and make sure I’m on the same page as you.
1. Compute new fines appropriately (likely reduces by half because of no development)
2. Draft a staff report outlining the situation for the TC
a. With recommendation of fine or reduced fine for additional plantings
3. Require annual evaluation by Greenvale every March to report on trees.
4. If we get concurrence at TC meeting, we add an item the next available CC consent.
Lastly, TC Agenda for 12/6 meeting was due today but Megan can wait til Wednesday if
needed. I know not ideal, but do you see any harm in this going on January TC meeting?

Subject: Tree Damage Fines
Greg,
I didn’t spend a lot of time on this because I think 12.24.170 is pretty clear. I think that we proceed
like this:
1. Compute the civil penalty at the value of the tree times two, plus all staff costs related to the illegal
tree removal or tree damage.
2. Develop a replanting plan and restoration plan for the existing tree that will plant at a minimum of
three trees that are forty-eight-inch box tree.
3. Work the fine amount and the replanting plan through the tree committee with a goal of obtaining
concurrence from TC and property owner.
a. I support the idea if we can augment the replanting plan with timeframes for compliance,
regular notification from a third-party arborist on tree status, regular watering, and
increasing the number of plantings to reduce the civil penalty amount.
b. Hopefully, the TC and PO and come to concurrence on a good plan that is uncontested.
4. If we have concurrence, we can put this on the City Council as a consent item with a resolution
memorializing the revised civil penalty and replanting plan. Otherwise, it would be a business item
to hear the appeal.

The fee will be 25% of the fee for a Tentative Tract Map (21+ lots), which is:
$28,402.69 x .25% = $7,100.67
I will make sure the front counter planner is aware to avoid any confusion or delay.
