COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT STEM NUMBER:/,_
FROM: Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director
By: Whitney McIlvaine, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration of a proposal to rezone a 1.61 acre site, on the west side of
South IEguera Street between Chumash Drive and Margarita Avenue, from C-S (Service-
Commercial) to C-S MU (Service-Commercial Mixed-Use).
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Grant final passage to Ordinance No. 1246 (1993 Series), approving a negative declaration
and rezoning the parcel from C-S to C-S MU.
DISCUSSION
The attached ordinance was passed to print on September 7, 1993, as recommended by the
Planning Commission. A use permit was simultaneously reviewed, which establishes
commercial and residential uses for the site, approves a reduction in the parking
requirement, and allows a wall height higher than normally allowed.
Significant Impacts
A mitigated negative declaration of environmental impact was granted by the Community
Development Director. The environmental initial study(ER 72-93)recommends the project
include measures to ensure consistency with community plans and goals; compensate for loss
of affordable housing; encourage alternative transportation; minimize on- and off-site noise
impacts; retain mature trees; and encourage efficient use of energy and natural resources.
Environmental mitigation measures have been incorporated into the use permit conditions
of approval (R/U 72-93).
Consequences of Not Taking the Recommended Action
If the ordinance is not passed, no change will be made to the official zoning map. The use
permit for the project would not be valid because it is contingent upon Council approval of
the rezoning.

SUMMARY
ORDINANCE NO. 1246 (1993 Series)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONE MAP FROM C-S TO CS-MU
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3053, 3071, & 3085 SOUTH HIGUERA STREET
(File Number: R 72-93)
On September 7, 1993, the City Council voted 5 to 0 to introduce Ordinance No.
1246, which approves a proposal to rezone a 1.61 acre site, on the west side of South
Higuera Street between Chumash Drive and Margarita Avenue, from C-S (Service-
Commercial)to C-S MU(Service-Commercial Mixed-Use). The rezoning is being requested
to accommodate construction of two new buildings on the site, both containing a mix of
commercial and residential uses. Existing buildings would be demolished. If the City
Council grants final passage to the rezoning request, the Architectural Review Commission
will hold a public hearing to review final development plans. The ordinance determines that
there will be no significant adverse environmental impacts as a result of amending the
zoning map.
The Council must vote again to approve the rezoning before it can take effect. That
action is scheduled for September 21, 1993, at a regular meeting of the City Council to
begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 990 Palm Street.
Copies of the complete ordinance are available in the City Clerk's Office (Room#1)
at City Hall, 990 Palm Street. For more information regarding the project, including a staff
report to the Planning Commission and a report on potential environmental impacts, contact
the Community Development Department at 781-7171.
