ner
93 -089): Minor subdivision to divide
two parcels, with exceptions to lot
southwest corner of Islay and Beach
Adopt a resolution approving the subdivision.
DISCUSSION
Situation
The applicants want to divide a large lot into two lots. The present lot
contains a historical house and shop building, plus two sheds. The lot
division would place the house on one parcel and the shop and sheds on
the other.
Minor subdivisions are normally acted upon by the Hearing Officer at a
Director's Subdivision Hearing. However, the subdivision regulations
require Council approval of any exceptions. Therefore, to minimize
applicant cost and processing time, and to conserve staff resources, this
request has not been reviewed by any other body, and the Council will be
the first -to consider it.
Data summary
Address: 497 Islay Street
Applicants /property owners: Larry Knorr
Representative: Engineering Development Associates (Peggy Mandeville)
Zoning: R -2
General plan: Medium- density Residential
Environmental status: Negative declaration, with mitigation, granted by
the Community Development Director on Dec. 13,
1993
Project action deadline: January 28, 1994
Site description
The site is a rectangular, essentially flat lot on the southerly corner
of Islay and Beach Streets. A large house, shop building, and two sheds
currently exist on the site. The proposal includes removal of one of the
sheds and retention of the remaining buildings. Five trees live on the
site, the largest of which has a 24" diameter.
The two -story house, which is not currently occupied and is in a
deteriorated condition, is on the City's list of historical resources.
It is considered not eligible for the National Register, but locally
significant. The shop, built of concrete block, has apparently been used
for carpentry and other purposes over the years. It is not considered of
historical value, and is currently used for storage only.

The neighborhood contains other significant buildings, most notably the
Sandercock home (currently Farmer residence) at 535 Islay, across the
street, and the Walters home (currently Osborne) at 461 Islay. These two
homes sit on large lots. This medium - density neighborhood contains a mix
of single - family homes and apartments.
Proiect description
The request is to divide the 0.34 -acre lot into two parcels, one 7,499.5
square feet and the other 7,502.5 square feet in area. Parcel 1 is to
contain the house, and parcel 2 the shop and one shed. The second shed
is to be removed. All trees are to remain.
The proposed lot line dividing the two new parcels has a small (0.101)
jog in it, 90' back from the Islay Street property line. The irregular
line was created so that both the house and the shop would have five -foot
setbacks from the property line.
EVALUATION
1. The exceptions requested. The applicants want exceptions to the
subdivision and zoning regulations. The subdivision regulations
require lots in the R -2 zone to be 60' wide, and parcels on corner
lots to be an additional ten feet wider (total of 70' wide). Parcel
1 is shown as 49.85' wide (average). Parcel 2 is to be 50.15' wide.
Therefore, parcel 1 is about 20' narrower than normally required,
while parcel 2 is about 10' narrower.
The zoning regulations require varying side and rear yards, depending
on the height of buildings. The exact height of the two -story house
is unknown. The wall facing the new property line is assumed to be
about 20' high. A wall this high would require a yard of 8.51.
Therefore, a yard exception is needed for parcel 1. The shop is less
than 12' in height. Therefore, the proposed five -foot yard is
adequate.
2. To grant an exception. The Council must make all of the following
findings to grant any exceptions to subdivision (and by extension,
zoning) standards:
a. The property to be divided is of such size or shape, or is
affected by such topographic conditions, that is impossible,
impractical or undesirable, in the particular case, to conform
to the strict application of the regulations codified in this
title.
Comment: The property could be divided in the opposite
direction, creating two lots fronting on Beach Street instead
of Islay Street. This configuration would result in lots that
����� ►�Hi�IIiIIIIIIp�������Ill city of San LUIS OBIspo
i COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MS 155 -93
497 Islay Street
Page 3
meet the subdivision and zoning standards, thereby not
requiring any exceptions.
However, the proposed division duplicates the shape and size
of existing lots in this older neighborhood. The new lots
would continue the existing pattern, while lots fronting on
Beach would not.
Therefore, in this case it is undesirable to conform to the
strict application of the regulations, because the strict
application would result in a change to the character of the
neighborhood.
b. The cost to the subdivider of strict or literal compliance
with the regulations is not the sole reason for granting the
modification.
Comment: Subdividing the lot in the other direction would
result in two conforming lots, which could be sold. Pursuing
the proposed pattern is costing the subdivider additional fees
and time. Therefore, this finding can be made.
C. The modification will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, and welfare, or be injurious to other properties in
the vicinity.
Comment: With the proposed design, driveways can be located
a safe distance from the corner. The lots are generous in
size, and there do not appear to be any health or safety
issues. The reduced sideyard will not be detrimental to
neighbors and is consistent with other yards in the
neighborhood. This finding can be made.
d. Granting the modification is in accord with the intent and
purposes of these regulations, and is consistent with the
general plan and all applicable specific plans or other plans
of the city.
Comment: The exceptions will allow lots to be; created that
are consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern.
Maintenance of neighborhood character is consistent with the
general plan. This finding can be made.
3. Subdivision findings. To approve a subdivision, the Council must find
that it is consistent with the general plan and any applicable
specific plan. The Subdivision Map Act (Section 66474) also includes
findings for denial of a subdivision, which, reversed, may be used as
findings for approval. Findings for denial are:

Division of one lot into two
497 Islay Street
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The project is the division of one 0.34 -acre lot into two lots,
each approximately 7,500 square feet in size, including exceptions
to lot width and sideyards.
The site is a rectangular, essentially flat lot on the southerly
corner of Islay and Beach Streets. A large house, shop building,
and two sheds currently exist on the site. The proposal includes
removal of one of the sheds and retention of the remaining
buildings. Five trees live on the site, the largest of which has
a 24" diameter. All trees are to remain.
The two -story house, which is not currently occupied and is in a
deteriorated condition, is on the City's list of historical
resources. It is considered not eligible for the National
Register, but locally significant. The shop, built of concrete
block, has apparently been used for carpentry and other purposes
over the years. It is currently used for storage only.
The neighborhood contains other significant buildings, most notably
the Sandercock home (currently Farmer residence) at 535 Islay,
across the street, and the Walters home (currently Osborne) at 461
Islay. These two homes sit on large lots. This medium- density
neighborhood contains a mix of single - family homes and apartments.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
Community plans and goals
General plan: The project would create two lots from one.
Residential development at a medium - density level would continue to
be allowed. The lot sizes would be similar to many others in the
vicinity, and therefore would not represent a new pattern of
development.
Conclusion: Impacts will be less than significant.
Zoning regulations: The lot currently contains a driveway and
parking area, which serves the house. The lot division would
result in the driveway and house being on separate lots.
Therefore, parking would no longer be available for the house.
The zoning regulations call for the maintenance of required parking
spaces. When required spaces are removed, they mist be replaced.
Conclusion: Impact on parking for the house would be
significant.
-i3
ER 155 -93
497 Islay Street
Page 2
Recommended mitigation: A driveway and parking area must be
provided for the house on the new lot.
Subdivision and zoning regulations: The request includes
exceptions to the subdivision and zoning regulations standards.
The subdivision regulations say that lots in the R -2 zone are
required to be 60' wide, and corner lots 70' wide. The proposed
lots are each about 50' wide. Therefore an exception to the lot
width standard is needed.
The subdivision standards say that subdivision designs must be
consistent with the zoning regulations. The lot design creates a
sideyard that is less than that required by the zoning regulations.
In the R -2 zone, yards vary with the height of the building wall.
Walls that are no higher than twelve feet are required to have
five -foot yards. Higher walls require larger yards. The proposed
southwesterly yard for the existing house is five feet. The exact
height of the wall in that location is not known, but is estimated
to be about 201. A wall 20' high requires a sideyard of 8.51.
Therefore, a sideyard exception is needed.
The City Council acts on subdivision exceptions, as part of its
action on the subdivision itself. To approve an exception, the City
Council must make all of the following findings:
1. The property to be divided is of such size or shape, or
is affected by -such topographic conditions, that it is
impossible, impractical, or undesirable, in the
particular case, to conform to the strict application of
the regulations codified in this title.
2. The cost to the subdivider of strict or literal
compliance with the regulations is not the sole reason
for granting the modification.
3. The modification will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety and welfare, or be injurious to other
properties in the vicinity.
4. Granting the modification is in accord with the intent
and purposes of these regulations, and is consistent with
the general plan and with all applicable specific plans
or other plans of the city.
It appears that these findings can be made in this case. If they
cannot, then the subdivision must not be approved.
Conclusion: :•tay be significant.
a -IAI
ER 155 -93

Recommended mitigation: The City
exceptions with the required
modifications that eliminate the
deny the subdivision.
Land use
Council must 1) approve the
findings, 2) require
need for exceptions, or 3)
The lot division would not result in a new type of land use for the
area.
Conclusion: Impacts will be less than significant.
Transportation and circulation.
The project would not result in additional traffic in the area,
beyond what may result from the existing lot configuration. An
additional driveway will be required to be installed on Beach
Street, to serve the house. This driveway will need to be located
toward the center of that block, and should not cause any
visibility problems for drivers or pedestrians in the area.
Conclusion: Impacts will be less than significant.
End -ray or-resource use.
Water: The project is not expected to generate additional water
use. However, additional development, or conversion of existing
development, would likely increase the water use on the site.
The City's Water Allocation Regulations allow water to be allocated
to new development only when such water allocation does not affect
the city's supply. This can happen only if the new use replaces a
similar use of a similar size, or if water is provided by some
other means to replace that used. One method, allowed by the
regulations, to obtain additional water is to retrofit existing
plumbing fixtures. The City allows a developer to replace fixtures
to save approximately twice as much water as the new development is
expected to use.
With these regulations in force, water allocated to new development
will not have a detrimental effect on the available supply. In any
case, additional development is possible with or without the land
division.
Conclusion: Not significant.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Grant a negative declaration of environmental impact, with the
following mitigation:
1. A driveway and parking area must be provided for the house on
the new lot.
2. The City Council must 1) approve the exceptions with the
required findings, 2) require modifications that eliminate the
need for exceptions, or 3) deny the subdivision.
REQUEST FOR EXCEPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
OF CHAPTER 16.48
(SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION)
1. EXCEPTION TO MINIMUM LOT WIDTH
LOT TYPE STANDARD REQUEST
R -2 Interior Lot 60 ft. 50 ft.
R -2 Corner Lot 70 ft. 50 ft.
DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting an exception to the City's standard for minimum lot width at
497 Islay Street (003 -622 -009). All other proposed lot dimensions Oct area, depth,
frontage) are consistent with City standards. The subject property is partially developed
with one single family residential dwelling unit and one free standing garage /workshop
on a 14,993 sq. ft. lot at the southern corner of Beach Street and Islay Street. The
neighborhood is fully developed with the exception of a few underdeveloped lots.
Approval of the requested exception would allow the property to be subdivided into two
standard rectangular residential lots: one developed lot with an existing single family
dwelling unit and one undeveloped residential lot with the existing garage /workshop.
FINDINGS
The following findings can be made in support of an exception to the City's minimum lot
width requirement.
That the property to be divided is of such size or shape, or is affected by such
topographic conditions that it is impossible, impractical or undesirable, in the
particular case, to conform to the strict application of the regulations codified in
this title.
Response:
The subject property is an oversized residential lot fronting Islay Street in a
developed residential neighborhood. The property conforms to all requirements
for subdividing with the exception of minimum lot width. An exception is necessary
because the existing dwelling faces Islay Street, not Beach Street. To subdivide
the property in. a logical manner in relation to the existing dwelling, the second
parcel should front Islay Street so the side yards abut each other.
,2-17
2. That the cost to the subdivider of strict or literal compliance with the regulations
is not the sole reason for granting the modification.
Response:
The applicant is requesting this subdivision exception to allow the subject property
to be subdivided in half. Without the approval of an exception the applicant would
need to divide his property into two less conventionally shaped lots in order to
meet the minimum lot width requirement. Subdividing the property with 'lot
frontages on Beach Street has not been proposed because the resulting lots
would not conform to the existing lot pattern of the neighborhood.
3. That the modification will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare, or be injurious to other properties in the vicinity.
Response:
The modification would not be detrimental to public health, safety, and welfare
because a standard sized lot is still being created. The requested exception is
compatible with existing lot widths on Islay Street as well as consistent with the
surrounding neighborhood lot widths.
Existing lot widths on Islay Street between High Street and Nipomo Street range
in width from 38 feet to 123 feet. -Over 50% of the lots range in size from 45 -53
ft. in width as detailed below. The applicant's request to divide his 100 ft. wide
parcel into two 50 ft. wide lots is therefore consistent with the existing
neighborhood.

4. The granting the modification is in accordance with the intent and purposes of these
regulations and is consistent with the general plan and with all applicable specific

Response:
The proposed modification is consistent with the City's General Plan which calls for
residential uses (up to 12 two- bedroom dwellings per acre). The proposed
subdivision results in a density of 5.8 dwellings per acre. The proposed subdivision
is consistent with all other Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance regulations.
