Jorgensen, City Attorney 74AND-DELIVERED 990 Palm Street P.O. Box 8100 San Luis Obispo, California 93403-8100 Re: General Plan Land Use Element/Los Osos Valley Gap/Dalidio Area/Madonna Dear Mr. Jorgensen: This law firm represents Alex Madonna. In reviewing the recently prepared Environmental Quality Task Force Draft of the General Plan Land Use Element we have noted several proposed restrictions upon the development of property owned by our client, Alex Madonna, including but not limited to property characterized as the "Los Osos Valley Gap" and the "Dalidio Area" property. Accordingly, this letter is written to express our concerns. The "Los Osos Valley Gap" property is described as a 16-acre parcel for which one proposed use is described as "an open space/trail linkage/corridor to connect Laguna Lake Park/Prefumo Creek with the Irish Hills" (suggesting an intent to condemn). It is also proposed that this property, as well as that property ovimed by Alex Madonna within the Dalidio Area, could not be developed except under excessively stringent conditions. For example, with reference to the Los Osos Valley Gap property, it is proposed that no development could occur on this parcel except in accordance with a "save-four-acres-for- every-acre-lost formula". Because the property is described as a site " with prime soil", it is presumed that any development of the site would be conditional upon setting aside four times as much prime farm land for permanent open space protection (see also Section 3.5.6 of the EQTF draft). In addition, with respect to the property within the Dalidio area, it is provided that only 20% of the total area may be developed. Since Mr. Madonna's property is located the greatest physical distance from the existing Central Coast Mall, it is presumed that his property would not be subject to any development, but would most likely constitute a part of the 80% which could never be developed under the language of the Draft. In addition, development of that property would also apparently be subject to the "save-four- acres-for-every-acre-lost formula". Jeffrey G. Jorgensen, City Attorney April 5, 1994 Page 2 The two examples given above are of concern to Mr. Madonna not only because of the excessively stringent conditions imposed upon those parcels. As written, it may very well be impossible for Mr. Madonna to develop the parcels at all, because it would be impossible for him to meet the proposed conditions. This is especially true since, under the Land Use Element Drafts, the vast majority of Mr. Madonna's available undeveloped land in and around the City of San Luis Obispo is placed within the classification of permanent open space. Presumably, that land therefore would not be available for consideration as land that could be dedicated to open space in exchange for the right to develop other parcels, since it is already "taken". Thus, not only is the City attempting to place almost all of Mr. Madonna's land within permanent open space classifications, the little remaining land owned by Mr. Madonna is subject to the condition of dedicating unavailable land to permanent open space preservation. In our opinion, the proposals contained in the Land Use Element Drafts go too far by classifying the vast majority of Mr. Madonna's land as open space, and then imposing very strict dedication requirements for the small percentage of land which is not taken outright. The language contained within the General Plan Land Use Element as proposed, and especially in the form written by the EQTF, amounts, in our opinion, to an unconstitutional taking of property rights which would deprive Mr. Madonna of all economic use of his property- Accordingly, ropertyAccord ugly, on behalf of Mr. Madonna, we must respectfully object to the provisions of the General Plan Land Use Element Drafts, and especially those proposals advanced by the EQTF Draft, which place the aforementioned conditions and restrictions on the proposed development or use of Mr. Madonna's property in and around the City of San Luis Obispo. While Mr. Madonna is willing to negotiate reasonable restrictions and conditions (including greenbelt issues), the Land Use Element as currently under consideration simply goes too far and will be challenged by legal action, if necessary. Very truly yours SINSH R, PEMAN- MJT:tlg LHUT & BAGGETT MARTIN . g:\Itr\MadonnaUUlside\7council.405
