COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: Arnold B. Jonas, C�gmmunity Development Director o
PREPARED BY: Whitney McIlvaine,Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Appeal of an action by the planning commission
denying a use permit request to modify the San Luis
Mobilehome Park, a legal nonconforming use at 2994
South Higuera between Elks Lane and Prado Road.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution denying the appeal and upholding the planning
commission's action.
DISCUSSION
Situation
On May 8, 1991, the planning commission denied a request, on a vote
of 6 to 1, to modify the San Luis Mobilehome Park, a nonconforming
use in the commercial service zone. The applicant is proposing to
replace a trailer in the park with an apartment. The planning
commission found the proposal to be an intensification of a legal
nonconforming use, and therefore not consistent with the general
plan or with the city's zoning regulations. Commissioners felt an
additional permanent structure on the site would postpone the
eventual phasing-out of this nonconforming use. The- commission
also found that the proposed project poses a significant danger to
the mature Cypress tree along the northern property line.
Consecruences of Not Taking the Recommended Action
Approval of the appeal would allow the expansion of a legal
nonconforming use. Building the proposed permanent structure is
likely to damage the root system of a mature Monterey Cypress.
Proiect Description
The applicant wants to replace a trailer space with a one bedroom
apartment inside a mobilehome park. The apartment would be
attached to an existing duplex. It would be approximately 300
square feet in size and a typical Type V, wood frame construction.
Replacing the trailer with an attached apartment would enable the
applicant to comply with setback standards for mobilehome parks,
specified by the Health and Safety Code (attached) , without
reducing the number of units in the park.
Site Description
The site is relatively flat. It is bordered on the west by San
Luis Creek; on the north by an auto repair shop; and on the south
by a planning and design consulting firm. Across Higuera Street

are various residential and commercial developments. Significant
on-site vegetation includes Eucalyptus, Monterey Cypress, and
Liquidambar trees in addition to ornamental shrubbery.
Data Summary

i
On May 8, 1991, the planning commission conducted a public hearing
to consider this request. Meeting minutes are attached.
EVALUATION
Number of Units -- There are 15 mobilehomes and 2 apartments on j
site. A use permit for this number of units was approved by the
planning commission in 1981. This project does not propose to
increase the number of units, but to substitute an apartment for
a trailer.
Code Requirements -- The applicant is trying to better comply with
the setback standards for mobilehome parks set forth in the Health
and Safety Code. Specifically, mobilehomes must be located ten
feet from permanent structures and from each other (side to side) .
The trailer in space 12 does not meet that standard. While it is
ten feet from the trailer in space 11, it is less than ten feet
from the apartment structure. (See attached site plans. )
I
An apartment attached to the existing duplex would enable the
applicant to maintain the same number of units, and allow for a ten
. foot setback between the new apartment and the trailer in space 11.
Relative Impact -- The impacts of a one bedroom apartment and a
trailer are similiar in terms of noise, traffic, density and
parking. Visual compatibility is not really an issue since this
area of the park cannot be seen from the street. The planning
commission made the finding that an attached apartment, being a
more permanent structure than a trailer, represents an expansion
of a nonconforming use.
Any construction under the drip line of the Monterey Cypress trees
along the northern property boundary would be harmful to the trees'
root system and would violate condition #3 of use permit U0945
(attached) , which states:
Il����j�ui►�►Illllllll��"j►II�III city of san L,Ais osIspo
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
U175= Apped!
Page 3
All existing trees shall be retained. There shall be no
cutting or filling within the dripline of existing trees.
At the planning commission meeting, the applicant pointed out that
the city installed sidewalks well within the dripline of two
Cypress trees just outside the mobilehome park. The arborist has
noted that those two trees are obviously deteriorating as a result.
Floor Plan -- The apartment cannot be situated as originally
proposed because the building code requires a 5 foot setback from
the property line for a three unit complex. The application
requests a "studio" but the floor plan diagrams a one bedroom
apartment. Because of the limited space available for any type of
construction, staff would prefer to see a studio rather than a one
bedroom apartment. The rear wall of the studio, if allowed, should
be located as far away from the Cypress trees as possible.
"Studio" Definition -- A one-room dwelling unit with not more than
450 square feet of gross floor area, designed for occupancy by not
more than 2 people. The floor area in a loft is included as part
of the gross floor area calculation.
Revised Site Plan - The appeal filed by Mr. Johnston includes a
site plan showing a project different from that reviewed by the
planning commission. The council may wish to refer the revised
plan back to the planning commission.
The revised site plan shows an addition on the end of apartment
"B" . This would eliminate two windows from apartment "B" . It
would still require construction activity inside the dripline of
the Cypress.
I
The revised site plan also shows changes to the current parking
layout, and possibly a net loss of 1 space. Zoning regulations
require 1. 5 spaces for each mobile home in a park. As a legal
nonconforming use, this park was allowed to provide only one space j
for each unit (U0945A) . Because parking is already at a minimum for
this use, staff cannot support any project which would further
reduce available parking. Furthermore, reconfiguring the parking
to eliminate the landscaped area in front of apartment "B" does
not seem like a desireable solution.
i
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance - The general plan states that,
" [r]esidential neighborhoods should be separated from incompatible
nonresidential land uses. ... " The general plan land use map and the
zoning map designate this area as service-commercial/light-
industrial. Uses allowed in this zone typically are not compatible
with residential uses. Because the mobilehome park was established
prior to current regulations, it is legally nonconforming.
A nonconforming use may be replaced by another nonconforming use,

but only if the new use has similiar or less severe impacts on its
surroundings. The planning commission found that the apartment
addition would have more severe impacts on its surroundings than
the existing trailer.
OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
i
Comments from other departments have been incorporated into the
recommended conditions in draft resolution No. 2. A memo from the
Arborist is attached.

2-9114 South Hiquera Street; C-S zone ; Glen Johnston,
applicant .
----------------------------------------------------------------
Greg Smith presented the staff report and recommended the
Commission deny the use permit based on a finding that the
structural addition to the duplex is more permanent than the
temporary mobile home space, which constitutes an expansion or
intensification of a non-conforming use which is not in
conformance with the intent of zoning regulations and based on
that the addition would endanger a mature cypress tree near the
property 'Line . He said if the Commission prefers to grant the
request, staff recommends requiring a 10-foot setback from the
cypress tree . He added the arborist did not specify the 10-foot
limit, but the arborist felt a 5-foot setback was not adequate ,
In answer to a question of Commr . Gurnee, Greg Smith said the
city is hoping to phase out the mobile home park and encourage. a
conversion to service/commercial . He said he believed r_he site
is located in the flood plain .
Chairman Hoffman opened the public hearing.
Glen Johnston, 2994 South Hiquera Street, applicant, said he 'Lias
im-roved the orooerty by outtina in a sidewalk , JaintinQ fences
and the laundry, increasing lighting, planting and installing a
drip system. He said he would like to meet the code as :-gest he
can by replacinq the travel traiier with the addition . He aided
file use of DroDane by the travel trailer increases his iiabill '=_
insurance . He said under Title 25, the travel traiier is not
'Legal and he will have to :Hove it soon . He mentioned that when
the sidewalk was put in by the city, two roots were chopped of
the tree .
Gree Smith said the arborist felt whoever was responsible for
installing the sidewalk may have damaged the cypress tree .
In answer to a question by Commr . Gurnee , Glen Johnston he could
not, reolace the travel trailer with a coach and move it further
back because a distance of 10 feet is required to ue kept between
trailers , and there is now only 10 feet between title travel
trailer and adjacent coaches . He said he would have to lust-- that
space .
Greg Smith said after reviewing a memo from the city engineering
Staff , the flood zone stops outside the property line- of the
mobile home park so the site is not sublcct to flooding.
Juan Hidari Space 48, 2994 South Higuera Street, said he
recently received a letter from the park owner stating the owner
wants to modify the park and is requiring trailYrs to be moved
off rhe nrefrlise6 when trailers .are sold . He said he bought t}ie
trailer as an investment, and now he can ' t _-ell it becaul e it
wnuld loge value if hr ;had to move it out of the nark because
trailer value is determined by where it is located . He added the
trailer park is changing from a park Where residents own their
trailers to .a rental nark that is becomin« similar to an apartment
complex . He requested the use permit be denied .
Chairman Hoffman closed the public hearinq .
In answer to a question of Commr . Gurnee, Greq Smith said he did
not know if the state is requiring the removal of the travel
trailer on space 12 .
Commr . Gurnee said he would like to know the answer to that
question before making a decision . He added he did not have a
significant problem with the request, if it complied with the
arborist ' s recommendations .
Cornmr . Schmidt expressed concern that there might be more to this
reauest than the proposal to this unit, and was at a less how to
deal with that question .
Chairman Hoffman re-opened the public hearing .
Juan Hidarl ( ?? 7 Said }he believed there was a bigger picture
than just this request because the had received the letter .5,97;1'1'7_
his trailer would have to be fllnvt-d if it was sold . He -;aidl he
had a customer to buy it , but had to turn down theI otter 1]e'_aLl.5.e

rhe coach in space #12 is an Rv. He said he owns t}1e :oac:Phc:� n[1
s-Daces 7, 9 , 11 & 12 . He said he is trying to upgrade the park ,

by rotating their positions to comply with coder . He added #8,, is
now not legal .
[_reg Smith said the Plannlnq Commission does have f _irisdi,, tion
over the number and location of coaches .
Commr . Schmidt felt an overall site pian was needed for the
commission ' s consideration .
Greq Smith confirmed there was an existinq use permit and added
that staff would need more time to research mobile home
legislation to make a recommendation to the corrunission. He said
if that information would enable the commission to approve the
use permit, he would suggest a continuance for two week.-, for
staff to research the issues .
Commr . Karleskint said he had a problem determininc if this was a
request for modifvina and upgrading, or for expansion and
intensi ication . He said the-- m•31% r change" irir:iud.ina tjigger
trailer''. ar,,op.ared to be Intensiti _'a' Inn, and if he- '+/•-= =`rrect in
that assump, on, he couldn ' t approve the request .
Cornu . Kourakis said she agreed with staff because •a structural
addition to the existing duplex was more permanent than a trailer
and would result in the expansion and intensification of a
non-conforming use and would be inconsistent with the General
Pian and the zonina ordinance .
Commr . Kourakis moved to deny the use permit subject to the
finding on page 3 .
Commr . Karleskint seconded the motion .
Commr . Schmidt noted a non-conforming use similar and close to
this request , village Park , was allowed by the Commission . He-
said
esaid he was not particularly concerned with the non-conforming
use aspect of the request .
Chairman Hoffman re-opened the public hearing .
Glen Johnston said the coaches would be replaced wit ? one-bedroom
units that would not be usinq anv more water than current units .
Chairman Hoffman closed the public hearing .
Commr . Peterson said, it the request was denied and the State Housing and
Community Development Department Housing Authority found the trailer to be non-
conforming, it would come back to the commission. He felt a denial was inappropriate
to await a determination by the State Housing Authority.
