Home My WebLink About07-01-2014 C8 Pacific Courtyards Rezoning Ordinance Adoption FROM: Derek Johnson, Community Development Director Prepared By: Pam Ricci, Senior Planner SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY’S ZONING MAP TO ADJUST THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE EXISTING OFFICE AND MEDIUM-HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONING CATEGORIES ON THE SITE AT 1321 & 1327 OSOS STREET (CITY FILE NO. GP/R/ER 96-13). RECOMMENDATION Adopt Ordinance No. 1603 which adjusts the boundary between the Medium-High Density Residential (R-3) and Office (O) zoning designations on the site at 1321 & 1327 Osos Street to match the approved Land Use Element Map designations. DISCUSSION On June 10, 2014, the City Council voted 4 to 0 (Vice Mayor Christianson recused 1) to introduce Ordinance No. 1603 approving the requested rezoning. Ordinance No. 1603 is now ready for adoption. The amended zoning for the property will become effective 30 days after final passage of the ordinance. As approved with the previous Rezoning of the site in 2008, the Historical Preservation (H) overlay zoning would apply to both the reconfigured Medium-High Density Residential (R-3) and Office (O) zoning categories on the site. City maps will be updated accordingly to reflect the modified zoning boundaries and historic district boundary. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW On August 19, 2008, the San Luis Obispo City Council approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the prior version of the project. In this case, the revised project description is updated through the Addendum approved by the City Council on June 10, 2014 and documentation is provided that no new significant environmental impacts are created by the modified project. ALTERNATIVES 1. The Council could decide not to give final passage to the ordinance. This alternative is not recommended as the existing zoning designations on the site would remain in their present configurations, which would be inconsistent with the approved General Plan Amendment.
