Subject: KSBY Request To Make Planning Commission's Fourth Land Use Element
Amendment Introduction Date For Calendar Year 1996.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Concur with the Community Development Director's determination to allow the KSBY proposal to
determine the date of the Planning Commission's fourth hearing period for the introduction of Land
Use Element amendments.
DISCUSSION
On February 16th, 1996 the City Council was sent a letter from KSBY describing their desire to
relocate their offices from the present Hill Street location to 1772 Calle Joaquin, the site of the former
Loco Ranchero Restaurant. On February 20th, the Council referred the letter to staff for review and
recommendation. Earlier, staff discussed the reolcation with KSBY and informed them that the move
would require an amendment to the Land Use Element's (LUE's) current land use designation of the
property as well as a rezoning.
The Municipal Code (17.80.050) directs that the Planning Commission may introduce amendments to
the LUE in January, May, and September, with one additional "floating" time per calendar year to be
determined by the Community Development Director. KSBY has indicated that their opportunity to
move to the Calle Joaquin property is dependent on proceeding as quickly as possible. They have
indicated that waiting until May to begin Planning Commission consideration could render the
relocation infeasible. KSBY has therefore requested that the Community Development Director allow
their request to determine the time of the "floating" LUE amendment introduction.
The Community Development Director has determined that KSBY's proposal would be an appropriate
use of the "floating" LUE introduction. The item is being brought to the Council's attention for their
concurrence with the Community Development Director's decision.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Private applicant requests for General Plan amendments are processed on a fee basis. The fee covers a
portion of the costs for staff time and resources needed to process the amendment request.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may direct that the proposed LUE amendment would not be an appropriate use of the
"floating" amendment date for calendar year 1996.

MEMORANDUM ;
TO: City Council
FROM: Allen K Se
SUBJECT: COMMUNICATION ITEM: KSBY REQUEST
On Friday, the City received the attached request from KSBY concerning their desire to relocate
their operation to the former Loco Ranchero Restaurant on Calle Joaquine. Due to timing
imperatives, KSBY is requesting that the City use the annual "floating request" for the needed
General Plan amendment so their application can be processed without having to await the next
"batch" of amendments.
I am asking that the City Council refer this request to staff, and direct staff to return with a
recommendation concerning their request on the March 5, 1996 Council meeting. The staffs
recommendation would relate only to the General Plan amendment process ("floating request").
The actual processing of the General Plan, amendment, zone change, and project applications
would follow the usual course through the Planning Commission, ARC, and Council.

Dear Mayor Settle:
As a follow-up to our meeting last week this is to advise your office and appropriate city
officials that KSBY would like to relocate their operations and facilities to the former
Loco Ranchero Restaurant at 1772 Calle Joaquin in San Luis Obispo. This relocation
has 2 positive effects for the community:.
1. It enables KSBY to relocate from its current location in a primarily residential
neighborhood on Hill Street.
2. The relocation provides a more functional and attractive utilization of the
former restaurant building.
On December 31, 1996 it is imperative that we have a new location for our signals and
technical equipment. Our separation from KES'3W N in Salinas, from where we
currently receive our signal, will be completed.
We understand that relocation to 1772 Calle Joaquin will require a general plan
amendment and zoning change. It is requested that the change be to Office. or other
appropriate zoning designation.
As you might expect, timing is critical. Delaying consideration by the Planning
Commission until May is.not practical. It is requested that City Council direct staff to
use this as the annual "floating request" and initiate proceedings on this general plan
amendment and zoning change immediately. Please contact me with any questions.
