RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Draft Resolution (Attachment A), which 1) finds that the right -of-way
abandonment and detachment are consistent with the General Plan ; 2) considers any
constraints or conditions necessary for the street abandonment; and, 3) recommends that
the City Council approve the abandonment and detachment applications on Slack Street
and Hathway subject to findings and conditions of approval.
SUMMARY
Applications have been submitted by Cal Poly University (Cal Poly) requesting right -of-
way abandonment on Slack Street and a corresponding modification to the City limit line
in order to accommodate a faculty and staff housing project on the Cal Poly campus. Cal
Poly is planning to construct a 33-unit single-family housing development at the
northeasterly corner of Slack Street and Grand Avenue.
The existing right-of-way on Slack Street is 70 feet in width on the east of Grand Avenue;
however, street improvements are located on only the southern half of the right -of-way
with approximately 22 feet of existing pavement. Cal Poly is proposing to improve the
northern portion of the right-of-way to build out two travel lanes and a 5-foot sidewalk with
landscaped parkway on the north side to extend public improvements to a minimum of
37-feet in width. Cal Poly is requesting that the City abandon the remaining unused right-
of-way to facilitate the housing project. The new sidewalk on Slack Street east of Grand
Avenue and the existing sidewalk on Slack Street west of Grand Avenue on Cal Poly’s
frontage would be owned and maintained by Cal Poly, thereby removing liability and
ongoing maintenance responsibilities from the City.
City boundary limits, which define the City’s jurisdictional area, currently coincide with the
existing right-of-way boundary at the northern edge of Slack Street. A modification to the
City limit boundary is proposed in conjunction with the street abandonment. A detachment
application, which is the reverse of an annexation, is proposed to modify the City limit
boundary to coincide with the proposed right-of-way edge on the northern side of Slack

Street, both east and west of Grand Avenue. A second detachment area is proposed on
Hathway to adjust the City limit line to correct historical boundary inconsistencies at APN
052-082-028, which is owned and previously developed by Cal Poly University. The
subject areas of the street abandonment and detachment applications are shown in

1.0 COMMISSION'S PURVIEW
The Planning Commission’s role includes the following:
1. Review the proposed street abandonment and detachment for consistency with the
City’s General Plan. California Government Code Section 65402 requires the local
planning agency to make a finding of General Plan conformance whenever a
governmental entity proposes to acquire property, dispose of property, abandon a

Planning Commission Report – September 25, 2024
street, or construct or authorize a public building or structure within the limits of a
city that has an adopted general plan.
2. Consider any constraints or conditions necessary for the street abandonment. Per
the Public Works Department’s policies and procedures for street abandonments,
a public hearing at the Planning Commission is required to receive testimony and
consider any constraints or conditions necessary for abandonme nt.
3. Make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the street abandonment and
the detachment applications. Upon the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the
Council will consider whether to adopt a “Resolution of Intention,” which would set a
public hearing at Council to consider a final “Resolution of Abandonment.” Upon
the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the Council will consider initiating the
process of detachment by adopting a resolution authorizing staff to make
application to the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
The Vista Meadows faculty and staff housing project itself is located outside of City limits
on State land and is not under consideration by the Planning Commissio n. Only the
portions of the improvements proposed within City right-of-way and within current City
limits are under the City’s jurisdiction.
2.0 PREVIOUS REVIEW
June 4, 2024: At an initiation meeting, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with
processing the detachment application to modify the City limit boundary to accommodate
a new Cal Poly faculty and staff housing development known as Vista Meadows, a s well
as other City limit clean-up areas as needed to correct historical jurisdictional boundary
crossings around Cal Poly. Applications to modify the City limit are referred to City Council
for initiation and early consideration prior to staff processing the application, similar to a
request to amend the City’s General Plan (Municipal Code Section 17.130.020).
On June 4, 2024, Council expressed support for the Vista Meadows project but offered
the following direction and guidance to staff:
1. The Vista Meadows project should include the necessary street lighting and traffic
calming on Slack Street frontage.
2. The City needs to be a good neighbor to Cal Poly and at the same time protect the
City’s interest. The Vista Meadows project should pay for all costs including staff
time required to advance this project. The Vista Meadows project should pay the
standard permit fees that fund cost of services provided to the project.
3. Bring back for Council consideration information on the valuation of the right -of-way
requested to be abandoned for the Vista Meadows project.
August 13, 2024: At closed session, Council provided direction to staff regarding
negotiating parameters for the price and terms related to the proposed real property
transaction. This closed session discussion fulfilled item #3 identified at the June 4, 2024
Council meeting.

Planning Commission Report – September 25, 2024
3.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
3.1 Background
The Cal Poly 2035 Campus Master Plan was approved by the CSU Board of Trustees in
May 2020 along with a Final Enviro nmental Impact Report (EIR). The Campus Master
Plan is a long-range planning document that guides the development and use of the
University’s 1,321-acre main campus.
The Campus Master Plan
identified faculty/staff housing at
the northeast corner of Slack and
Grand with up to 380 faculty/staff
residential units within two large
multi-family buildings, plus 7,000
square feet of retail space and
approximately 525 parking
spaces. The on-site buildings were
intended to be five stories
(approximately 60 feet) in height,
with little or no setback from the
adjacent streets.
Last year, the plan for faculty/staff
housing development was
substantially revised by Cal Poly and reduced in density to address site constraints and
feasibility concerns, and in consideration of the adjacent single-family residential uses
across Slack Street within the City of San Luis Obispo. The project, known as Vista
Meadows, is now proposed to provide 33 single-family two-story homes within a modified
project configuration that is approximately 8.5 acres in size, as shown in Figure 2 above.
Cal Poly is located outside City limits within the County of San Luis Obispo. The City of
San Luis Obispo was a commenting agency on the Campus Master Plan and EIR, but
does not have jurisdiction over the university. The State of California is a superior agency,
which acts as the lead agency for CEQA and issues its own permits through the State
architect for development on-site, rather than obtaining permits through the County of
San Luis Obispo. While Cal Poly is located outside of City limits, the City of San Lu is
Obispo has jurisdiction of Slack Street, which is a City right -of-way within City limit
boundaries. In order to build frontage improvements and widen Slack Street to City
standard, Cal Poly must obtain an encroachment permit from the City. Cal Poly has
submitted a street abandonment application to the City to request abandonment of
unused right-of-way.
3.2 Project Description
Slack Street East of Grand: Vista Meadows, Cal Poly Faculty and Staff Housing
Cal Poly is planning to construct a 33-unit single-family housing development on the lower
portion of an 8.5-acre parcel at the north easterly corner of Slack Street and Grand
Avenue. The units are proposed as two-story, detached 1,900 square foot residences

with supporting amenities for Cal Poly faculty and staff, including open space, a
community garden, trails, and other recreational features. Fourteen (14) of the residences
are proposed to be constructed along the north side of Slack Street between Gran d
Avenue and Henderson Avenue and would be accessed by individual driveways directly
from Slack Street. A 5-foot sidewalk and landscaped parkway would be constructed along
the northerly development frontage on Slack Street. Access to the remainder of the
residential development would be provided by two internal streets intersecting Slack
Street directly in line with City streets Henderson Avenue and Graves Avenue to the
south. Parking for residents would be accommodated within the project site, with parking
for two cars per residence (66 in total) within the ground floor of each residence with
additional visitor parking provided in two surface parking lots along the extension of
Henderson Avenue. The conceptual development plan is provided in Figure 3 below.
The proposed Cal Poly faculty and staff housing development would be developed at a
density comparable to that of adjacent single-family housing located across Slack Street
within the City of San Luis Obispo. Cal Poly has stated the proposed circulation network
for the project site is intended to be compatible with existing adjacent circulation patterns
in the area and intended to minimize project-related vehicular traffic on local residential
streets, including Grand Avenue and Slack Street. The project objectives, as identified by
the University, are to promote and enhance faculty and staff retention and recruitment by
offering quality residential housing at attainable rates; to strengthen the Cal Poly-San Luis
Obispo community connection; and to reduce faculty and staff commutes (i.e., vehicle
miles traveled, or VMT), associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and impacts on
neighborhood traffic.
Figure 3. Vista Meadows, Cal Poly Faculty and Staff Housing Conceptual Development Plan
Slack Street is currently improved on only the southern half of the right -of-way, providing
access to residential lots within the City of San Luis Obispo with approximately 22-feet of
existing pavement and some intermittent sidewalks. The existing Slack Street r ight-of-

way is 70 feet in width, with the northern portion currently unimproved. Cal Poly is
proposing to improve the northern portion of the right-of-way to build out two 10-foot travel
lanes and a 5-foot sidewalk with 4-foot landscaped parkway, along with curb and gutter.
Existing on-street parking would remain on the south side of Slack Street. Overhead
utilities on the northerly frontage would be undergrounded with the public improvements.
Proposed public improvements for build-out of Slack Street are shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Proposed Frontage Improvements on Slack Street, Typical Section
Cal Poly has requested the City vacate the remaining 25-feet of right-of-way beyond the
back of the northern edge of the new sidewalk to accommodate housing in this location.
The full 70-foot width of existing right-of-way is not needed for public street improvements.
Construction of residential units are proposed here at the lower slope of the property in
order to minimize grading impacts on the sloped Cal Poly property. If right-of-way is not
approved for abandonment by the City in the area beyond the back of sidewalk, Cal Poly
would have to redesign the housing project, which could result in additional grading,
environmental, and aesthetic impacts on the sloped lot.

ANNX-0219-2024, STAB-0038-2024 (Cal Poly, Slack Street)
Planning Commission Report – September 25, 2024
The right-of-way abandonment is proposed to extend to the front of curb where the
concrete curb connects to the asphalt street. This would transfer ownership and
maintenance of the northern sidewalk and landscaped parkway on Cal Poly’s frontage to
Cal Poly, thereby removing liability and ongoing maintenance responsibilities from the
City. A pedestrian access easement would be recorded to maintain public access on the
new Slack Street sidewalk.
City limits, which define the City’s jurisdictional area, currently coincide with the location
of the existing right-of-way boundary at the northern edge of Slack Street. A modification
to the City limit boundary is proposed in conjunction with the street abandonment. The
existing and proposed right-of-way and City limits on Slack Street east of Grand Avenue
are shown in Figure 5 above.
Frontage improvements and undergrounding of utilities, as well as the associated street
abandonment and modification to the City limit line, are proposed on Slack Street only in
the area directly fronting the new faculty and staff housing development. This is proposed
on Slack Street between Grand Avenue to just past Henderson Avenue. The remaining
120-feet of Slack Street past Henderson would remain as existing, with no proposed
changes to existing right-of-way or City limits beyond the Cal Poly development. The new
faculty housing project will be served by water and sewer provided by Cal Poly through
existing agreements with the City of San Luis Obispo and will utilize pipelines and
connections that will be extended through the campus.
Slack Street West of Grand
Abandonment and detachment on Slack Street west of Grand Avenue is also being
proposed with this application. The adjustments in this area are proposed to correspond
with previous frontage improvements that were installed by Cal Poly in this area through
encroachment permits in 2020 as part of the campus housing project in this location. A
condition of that previous encroachment permit was to adjust the right -of-way boundary
at a future date in order to remove the City’s liability and maintenance obligation s for Cal
Poly’s improvements in this area.

Item 4a
ANNX-0219-2024, STAB-0038-2024 (Cal Poly, Slack Street)
Planning Commission Report – September 25, 2024
Abandonment and detachment are being proposed on Slack Street west of Grand Avenue
to the terminus of the existing sidewalk along the Cal Poly frontage, as shown in Figure
6 and Attachments B and C of this report. This will transfer liability and ongoing
maintenance of the improved frontage to Cal Poly. A pedestrian access easement will be
recorded to preserve public access along the frontage. Unimproved areas of the frontage
further west will remain under City jurisdiction so that the City can ensure future frontage
improvements are developed to City standards.
City Limit Modification (Detachment) at Hathway
City staff and Cal Poly have
identified an additional area along
the edge of Cal Poly as a
candidate for clean-up to correct
City limit boundary crossings
from past development. An area
of Cal Poly off Hathway near Mott
gym (APN 052-082-028) is within
City limits but is owned by Cal
Poly and previously developed
with campus improvements. This
area is being proposed for
inclusion with the current
detachment application to correct
historical jurisdictional boundary
line inconsistencies, as shown in
Figure 7.
City staff has initiated preliminary
discussions with LAFCO
regarding the detachment
application, including potential boundary clean-up areas. LAFCO staff is supportive of the
proposal to process a detachment application to create jurisdictional boundaries that
coincide with Cal Poly’s development limits.
4.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS
In order to abandon the right-of-way, the California Streets and Highways Code requires
the Planning Commission and/or City Council determine whether the abandonment is
consistent with the City’s General Plan. In addition, continued access to any City or public
utility services and improvements needs to be properly preserved. T he following
paragraphs discuss pertinent issues associated with the request .
4.1 Consistency with the General Plan
General Plan Land Use Element Policies 1.12.2, 2.6.1, and 2.6.5, and Housing Element
Polices 8.3 and 8.6 are related to providing student and campus housing for Cal Poly.
Circulation Element Policies 5.1.3, 8.1.3, and 9.1.1 require that new developments
provide sidewalks, assume fair share of responsibility for constructing circulation

improvements, and reduce or maintain vehicular speeds in residential neighborhoods.
The proposed street abandonment and detachment to accommodate the Vista Meadows
housing project are consistent with these policies:
Land Use Element Policy 1.12.2: Cal Poly. …The City shall encourage Cal Poly to
provide additional on-campus housing, enhanced transit service, and other
measures to minimize impacts of campus commuting and enrollment. Cal Poly
should actively engage the community during updates or amendments to the
Campus Master Plan and fully mitigate impacts to the City, including environmental
and quality of life impacts to nearby neighborhoods.
Land Use Element Policy 2.6.1. Cal Poly. The City shall encourage Cal Poly to
build housing on campus for all of its students, to the extent feasible. On -campus
housing should be expanded at least as fast as enrollment increases.
Consideration shall be given for housing for faculty and staff as studen t enrollment
increases.
Land Use Element Policy 2.6.4. Location. The City shall encourage the
development of housing likely to attract faculty, staff, and students to locate close
to Cal Poly. The City shall work with Cal Poly to facilitate faculty and sta ff owning
or renting housing in adjacent neighborhoods.
Housing Element Policy 8.3 Encourage Cal Poly University to continue to develop
on-campus student housing to meet existing and future needs and to lessen
pressure on City housing supply and transporta tion systems.
Housing Element Policy 8.6 Encourage Cal Poly University to develop and
maintain faculty and staff housing, consistent with the General Plan.
Circulation Element Policy 5.1.3 New Development. New development shall
provide sidewalks and pedestrian paths consistent with City policies, plans,
programs and standards. When evaluating transportation impact, the City shall use
a Multimodal Level of Service analysis.
Circulation Element Policy 8.1.3 Neighborhood Traffic Speeds. To the extent
permitted under the California Vehicle Code, the City shall endeavor to reduce and
maintain vehicular speeds in residential neighborhoods.
Circulation Element Policy 9.1.1 New Development. The City shall require that new
development assumes its fair share of responsibility for constructing new streets,
bike lanes, sidewalks, pedestrian paths and bus turn ‐outs or reconstructing
existing facilities.
The proposed Cal Poly applications for street abandonment and detachment will facilitate
on-campus housing consistent with the General Plan goals listed above. The
development will include public improvements on Slack Street, improving walkability and
vehicular safety in the neighborhood. The housing units would not count toward meeting
the City’s RHNA allocation because the property is located just outside City limits;
however, housing developed by Cal Poly University on State land will provide much
needed Cal Poly housing as identified in the City’s General Plan policies listed above.

4.2 2023-25 Major City Goal: Housing and Homelessness
Housing and Homelessness has been identified as one of the 2023-25 Major City Goals.
As such, the 2023-25 Financial plan includes efforts to support housing development.
One of the stated objectives of the Cal Poly Vista Meadows project is to promote and
enhance faculty and staff retention and recruitment by offering quality residential housing
at attainable rates. The construction of new staff housing on Cal Poly land helps to
implement and facilitate the City Council goal of providing housing to residents and
employees. By abandoning a portion of the unused right -of-way and modifying the City
limit line, the City can support construction of these housing units at the lower elevat ion
of the property, thereby minimizing environmental impacts of grading further up on the
hillside.
4.3 Future Circulation Needs
The General Plan Circulation Element designates Slack Street as a residential local street.
The frontage improvements proposed on the east side of Grand for Vista Meadows and the
existing frontage improvement on the west side of Grand are consistent with City standards.
The abandonment of unused portions of Slack Street in these areas does not conflict with
future circulation needs as frontages are or will be developed to City standard. Based on
this information, and as supported by the City Public Works Department, it can be concluded
that this right-of-way is not planned for any future roadway improvements that would conflict
with the proposed abandonment.
The City has requested, and included a condition of approval, to record a public pedestrian
access easement on the sidewalk on the north side of Slack Street. The area is being
abandoned so that Cal Poly will maintain the sidewalk and landscaped parkway, however,
public access shall be preserved.
4.4 Public Utilities
If the Council determines that the right-of-way should be abandoned, easements must be
reserved for public and private utilities to the satisfaction of the City and the respective
utility companies. These easements will ensure that the affected local utilities retain rights
to repair and service their facilities within the area proposed for abandonment. Easements
for existing utilities within the right-of-way areas will be reserved as a condition of the
abandonment.
The right-of-way abandonment proposal was sent to the local utility companies for their
review and comment. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) currently has overhead electrical
distribution facilities within the right-of-way, along with Charter Communications cable lines.
The overhead lines are proposed to be installed underground as part of the frontage
improvements in the area of the Vista Meadows development. Cal Poly has been in
coordination with PG&E to identify easements for the new lines as needed. Southern
California Gas also has lines in the area, and the City and the applicant are in
communication with the utility to identify easements as needed along the frontage.
The Public Works Department supports the proposed abandonment, subject to
reservation of necessary easements. The Utilities Department supports abandoning the
right-of-way if an easement is retained for any remaining water and sewer lines. Staff finds

Item 4a
ANNX-0219-2024, STAB-0038-2024 (Cal Poly, Slack Street)
Planning Commission Report – September 25, 2024
that the proposed right-of-way abandonment will not adversely impact existing or future
public utilities in the immediate area or in the City as a whole provided the required
easements are reserved. It is important to note that the proposed development plans for
housing at Vista Meadows will not conflict with existing utilities or the proposed easements.
4.5 Response to Council Items Requested:
In light of the negotiating parameters received by Council in closed session, City staff and
Cal Poly have negotiated the following terms. The following discussion is provided to
address Council questions and direction from the pre vious two meetings, and terms will
be reviewed by City Council in open session at a future public hearing.
Item 1: Street Lighting and Traffic Calming
The Vista Meadows project design team and City Transportation Staff have worked
together to incorporate traffic calming on Slack Street into the project. The Vista Meadows
project will install City Standard Lighting requirements. The frontage improvements
proposed by Vista Meadows for Slack Street, including lighting, are typical project
conditions for development. Further, as recommended by the City Council, the attached
resolution includes a condition of approval requiring Cal Poly to install two speed humps
along Slack Street east of Grand as preemptive measures to avoid potential illegal
speeding concerns following the widening of Slack Street by Cal Poly. Cal Poly
representatives are amenable to constructing the speed humps in conjunction with the
development project.
Item 2: Permit Fees and Costs Related to Staff Time
The Vista Meadows project has funded the appropriate planning fees for the detachment
and street abandonment applications. These fees are identified in the Council’s adopted
fee schedule to cover staff time related to processing the discretionary applications,
including review of proposals, public hearings at Planning Commission and City Council,
and LAFCO applications and processing.
$17,020.30 – Street Abandonment application
$28,229.19 – Annexation/Detachment application
Cal Poly is a State agency of higher education and is entitled to fee exemptions that apply
to the State so long as it is acting within the scope of its authority to promote educational
purposes. Government Code 6103.6, prohibiting a fee or charge for “the mere issuance
of a permit,” also prohibits the assessment or collection of “any fee or charge from the
State” for work done “in, under, on or about any city . . . street.”
These provisions typically preclude the City from charging Cal Poly fees for issuance of
a permit or for inspections. However, given that the proposed street abandonment and
detachment applications are discretionary, City Council can add conditions of approval
as necessary to offset impacts of the proposed project. The Council has suggested that
in-lieu of charging Cal Poly a payment for the valuation of the land associated with the
street abandonment, Cal Poly should instead pay the value of the encroachment permit
fees to cover City staff plan check and inspection time for cost recovery associated with
the project. Cal Poly is only being asked to a pay fair share to cover City staff time incurred
Page 19 of 37
Item 4a
ANNX-0219-2024, STAB-0038-2024 (Cal Poly, Slack Street)
Planning Commission Report – September 25, 2024
by the project. Cal Poly staff has stated that they will agree to this requirement. The value
of the encroachment permit issuance is $98,533.13, which includes both plan check and
construction inspection fees. The encroachment permit value is a function of the value of
the public improvements Vista Meadows is installing, as shown in the engineer’s report
and identified in the 2023-24 Comprehensive User Fee schedule. A condition of approval
has been added to the street abandonment application to ensure payment of
encroachment permit fees prior to recordation of the abandonment.
Item 3: Valuation of Right-of-Way to be Abandoned for the Vista Meadows Project
The northern street frontage on Slack Street that is being requested for abandonment is
owned by Cal Poly in fee title. Therefore, only the public right -of-way easement is being
abandoned, and the underlying land does not transfer ownership. Cal Poly and the City
have negotiated parameters to fulfill the City Council’s request for consideration of
valuation. These parameters are consistent with the direction provided by City Council at
closed session:
1. Cal Poly has committed to supporting a future land value offset for City acquisition of
land for utilities (water reservoir) in the future at Cal Poly. This commitment is
consistent with Council’s previous inquiry regarding property exchange between the
parties.
2. Cal Poly will acknowledge the partnership with the City for the Vista Meadows project.
3. Cal Poly has agreed to pay the encroachment permit fees, including plan check and
inspection, related to the frontage improvements on Slack Street.
4. Cal Poly will install traffic calming on Slack Street as part of the encroachment permit
for frontage improvements.
These points have been incorporated into the PC Draft Resolution (Attachment A) as
conditions of approval where applicable.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
California State University is the lead agency for the environmental review of the
faculty/staff housing project. In May 2020, the California State University (CSU) Board of
Trustees San Luis Obispo certified an EIR for the 2035 Campus Master Plan (State
Clearinghouse No. 2016101003). Addendum #1 to the Final Environmental Impact
Report was prepared and approved by the California State University on February 14,
2024 for the Slack and Grand faculty/staff housing project, and a Notice of Determination
was filed. The project plans, including proposed right -of-way improvements, were
analyzed under the EIR Addendum, which demonstrated in the substantive analysis that
the proposed revised project would not result in new significant impacts or a substantial
increase in the severity of significant impacts identified in the Campus Master Plan EIR.
All applicable mitigation measures identified in the Campus Master Plan EIR and included
in the adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program are part of the project and
are listed in the EIR Addendum. The complete environmental analysis, including pr oject
plans and project description, and the complete 2035 Cal Poly Campus Master Plan can
be viewed on the Cal Poly website: https://afd.calpoly.edu/facilities/planning-capital-

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SAN LUIS OBISPO RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT A
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO ABANDON A PORTION OF SLACK
STREET AND RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE
DETACHMENT OF ABANDONED AREAS ON SLACK STREET AND
PROPERTY ON HATHWAY FROM THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
(CAL POLY SAN LUIS OBISPO UNIVERSITY) ANNX-0219-2024, STAB-
0038-2024
WHEREAS, a duly noticed Public Hearing before the Planning Commission of the City
of San Luis Obispo was held on September 25, 2024, in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990
Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, for the purpose of considering applications ANNX-
0219-2024 and STAB-0038-2024, a request to abandon a portion of Slack Street and a proposed
detachment of a portion of Slack Street and a property on Hathway; and
WHEREAS, said public hearing was for the purpose of reviewing the proposed
abandonment of street right-of-way for conformity with the City’s General Plan per State law,
for considering constraints or conditions for the proposed right-of-way abandonment per City
policy, and forwarding the abandonment and detachment recommendations to the City Council
of the City of San Luis Obispo; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has duly considered all evidence, including the
testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff,
presented at said hearing.
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 Commission makes the following
findings in support of the intention to abandon of a portion of Slack Street as a recommendation
to City Council, and recommends the City Council initiate the process of detachment of a portion
of Slack Street and property on Hathway from the City of San Luis Obispo by authorizing staff
to make application for detachment to the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO).
1. The proposed right-of-way abandonment, with the reservation of appropriate utility and
access easements, is consistent with the General Plan because it is no longer needed for
present or future public purposes since this portion of the road will be improved to City
standards with the Vista Meadows housing project.
2. The right-of-way abandonment will benefit the general public by allowing private
management of the driveway entries, allowing pedestrian and vehicular circulation
improvements, allowing for private maintenance of proposed and existing private
Page 23 of 37
drainage facilities, landscape areas, and sidewalks, eliminating unused right-of-way, and
eliminating the City’s costs for maintaining infrastructure within the right-of-way that is
being abandoned.
3. The proposed abandonment and detachment are consistent with the General Plan,
including Land Use Element Policies 1.12.2, 2.6.1, and 2.6.5, and Housing Element
Polices 8.3 and 8.6 related to campus housing for Cal Poly, and Circulation Element
Policies 5.1.3, 8.1.3, and 9.1.1 which require that new developments provide sidewalks,
assume fair share of responsibility for constructing circulation improvements, and reduce
or maintain vehicular speeds in residential neighborhoods.
4. The detachment of areas on Slack Street and APN 052-082-028 on Hathway will create
appropriate jurisdictional boundaries for properties at Cal Poly, including correction of
historical boundary inconsistencies, and will prevent properties from having dual
jurisdiction upon abandonment of right-of-way.
5. The proposed right-of-way abandonment and detachments are consistent with the Final
Environmental Impact Report for the Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan (State Clearinghouse
No. 2016101003) certified in May 2020 by the California State University (CSU) Board
of Trustees San Luis Obispo, and the EIR Addendum #1 approved by the California State
University on February 14, 2024 for the Slack and Grand faculty/staff housing project.
Section 2. Recommendation. The Planning Commission does hereby recommend the

in accordance with the California Business and Professions Code Section 8700 et seq.
Page 24 of 37
5. The abandonment resolution of the City Council shall include reservation of an easement
for pedestrian access on the northern sidewalk on Slack Street frontage (both east and
west of Grand Avenue), or a separate pedestrian access easement shall be recorded prior
to abandonment, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the City Attorney for
preservation of public pedestrian access along the sidewalk.
6. A revision to encroachment permit ENCR-0470-2024 shall be submitted by the applicant
