Task 2. Background Report Task 2 involved the gathering of information to be used for both compiling the Background Report and beginning basic tasks for General Plan Update tasks. From this task, the Background Report and summary newsletter provided a good foundation for understanding the existing setting within the Planning Area. To gain an early understanding of community needs, a community survey was conducted to help gauge residents’ opinions and priorities regarding the future development of San Luis Obispo. Surveys were distributed via mailers and internet to all city households. Interviews were held with members of the City Council, Planning Commission, City Department heads, and City staff to receive input about the LUCE Update. The second public workshop was held during Task 1 and informed the public of key findings from the Background Report and draw public input on issues and opportunities that needed to be addressed in the General Plan Update. Task 3. Community Vision An assessment of issues and opportunities was conducted during Task 3. The assessment of issues and opportunities was meant to help guide the Alternatives Report in Task 4. Workshop #3 (Future Fair) was also held during Task 3. The Future Fair was attended by approximately 180 community members, and was used to gain input on the development of land use and circulation alternatives. The assessment of issues and opportunities was also used at the Future Fair to help assist in the development of guiding principles. Task 4. Alternatives Report During Task 4, land use and circulation alternatives were developed comprising of two items: physical alternatives and policy alternatives. A technical analysis was conducted for each Planning Commission recommended land use and circulation alternative. Analysis included both circulation and fiscal technical assessment. Community Workshop #4 (Future Fair #2) was held during Task 4 and was attended by over 300 community members. Future Fair #2 focused on receiving public input regarding the different land use and circulation alternatives being proposed. Meetings were also held with various decision making bodies to review the physical alternatives proposed. California Sustainable Communities Planning Grants and Incentives Program FINAL REPORT 2011 Page 9 Task 5. Policy Document The General Plan Policy Document (LUCE Update) was compiled during Task 5. During Task 5, City Council also provided direction on the physical changes being considered in the Alternatives Report. City Council recommendations were brought to Community Workshop #5 (Future Fair #3), which was held during Task 5. Future Fair #3 attracted approximately 125 community members and provided updates on the current state of the alternatives and policy updates and introduced the Environmental Impact Report process and Notice of Preparation. Task 6. Environmental Review Task 6 is not covered under the funds provided by the grant, but it is a critical component of the decision making process in California. As part of this process, the draft programmatic LUCE EIR was released for a 45-day review period that ran from June 13 through July 28, 2014. The final programmatic LUCE EIR (which provided responses to public and agency comments) was published on September 3, 2014. The LUCE EIR provides the public and decision makers with a full understanding of the environmental implications of the changes being proposed, and was used to information the public hearing / decision making process. Task 7. Public Hearings Community Workshop #6 (Future Fair #4) was held during the start of Task 7. The workshop was attended by approximately 94 community members and provided information on the program Environmental Impact Report and the analytical studies that were conducted for the LUCE update, including results from the circulation analysis. During this period, public hearings were held with advisory bodies and the Planning Commission and City Council. Task 8. Final Documents and Adoption During this period, final documents were prepared and presented to the Planning Commission and City Council as part of a public hearing process. Comments received regarding the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report were responded to as part of the Final Program EIR, including responses to all public comments. These comments, along with public hearing inputs, were used by the Planning Commission and City Council to guide development of the final LUCE Update documents.

Project Management On-going During the reporting period, the following on-going project management tasks were conducted:  Project management calls were attended by the City’s project management team and Consulting Team’s management team. During this period, these calls were held weekly with additional meetings held as needed. California Sustainable Communities Planning Grants and Incentives Program FINAL REPORT 2011 Page 14  Circulation modeling coordination calls were attended by City and Consulting Team circulation technical experts on an as needed basis as a means to expedite response to questions, comments, and concerns.  Coordination between team members, including review of all materials by a member of the Consulting Team’s management team prior to delivery to the City.  Coordination between City’s Project Manager and Consulting Team’s Project Manager, as needed.  Normal invoicing and status reporting as required under contract. 4. What interim findings or success stories can you report? To date, key successes have been the continued integration of the community into the General Plan Update project. This includes the implementation of MindMixer, an online virtual town hall. Changing the workshop dates for the project to Saturday afternoons has also been a big success, and attendance numbers are growing substantially. Saturday workshops started with Workshop #3 at the City Library, and community turnout has increased noticeably.  Workshop 1 May 16, 2012 100 persons  Workshop 2 Sept. 27, 2012 40 persons  Workshop 3 Dec. 2, 2012 > 130 persons  Workshop 4 June 1, 2013 > 300 persons  Workshop 5 December 7, 2013 > 125 persons  Workshop 6 May 31, 2014 ~94 persons 5. What challenges and opportunities have you encountered in accomplishing this portion of your Scope of Work? Challenges: Challenges faced and addressed during this period included:  Additional Land Use Changes. The City Council, based on recommendations from the Planning Commission, made additional changes in the proposed land use alternatives in late January 2014. City Staff and the Consulting Team worked diligently to incorporate these changes as quickly as possible, applying additional resources as needed.  Circulation Modeling. As is typical with projects and models of this complexity, additional time was required to refine and adjust the circulation model to address issues that arose during initial model runs. Additional work was necessary to complete coding in model, conduct sensitivity analysis, and successfully complete the modeling exercise. These have been addressed by California Sustainable Communities Planning Grants and Incentives Program FINAL REPORT 2011 Page 15 increasing coordination and the amount of resources applied on both the City staff and Consulting Team sides. The level of effort required exceeded earlier estimates, but was completed in time to release the public draft in mid-June 2014.  Integrating Airport Safety Study. The City contracted and bore the cost to develop a separate set of airport studies to evaluate restrictions associated with airport safety and noise and the relationship of the County’s Airport Land Use Plan to future land use decisions near the airport. This aspect has resulted in additional work for both City staff and Consulting Team to integrate highly technical information in the LUCE Update and EIR. City staff and Johnson Aviation were responsible for the safety and technical analysis evaluation and the findings incorporated in the LUCE EIR. Opportunities: The reviews conducted of the physical and policy options have been extremely detailed, but have resulted in a LUCE Update that is well supported in the community. 6. Is your project on schedule? Please refer to your Work Plan/Schedule for Implementation (explain) The original grant proposal called for an initial public draft LUCE update and initial City Council hearings to be completed by the end of the grant period. The public draft LUCE and associated Draft EIR were released on June 13, 2014. Subsequently, the Final EIR was released on September 3, 2014. The initial Planning Commission and City Council hearings on the LUCE Update occurred on July 1, 2014, with follow-on hearings occurring in August and September, with final adoption expected in October 2014. Final adoption and generation of final documents was not proposed to occur within grant timeframe. Project is on schedule. 7. Provide a narrative financial report on expenditures and budgeted amounts. (include cash and / or in-kind) City staff time for the project is not intended to be reimbursed nor was it proposed as an in-kind match, however City staff collectively have dedicated hundreds of hours during this quarter toward this project. The City has also paid for display ads placed in local newspapers, and copying expenses associated with workshop materials and agenda distribution. None of these expenses are included in the grant- reimbursed scope of work. Final reimbursement will request the remainder of grant funds as well as the 15% holdback amount. 8. If applicable, explain the future intent of public and/or private support to maintain or further develop the project. The grant budget is augmented by City General Funds to address the costs associated with the EIR for this project as well as costs for meeting venues, public notice and other administrative costs. The grant funds will be used for consultant assistance in the General Plan Update, the fiscal analysis, and the public engagement strategy. California Sustainable Communities Planning Grants and Incentives Program FINAL REPORT 2011 Page 16 B. Final Report - Grant Overview 1. How, and the extent that, the grant project has achieved the goals and sustainability objectives outlined in the regional planning documents (e.g. Sustainable Community Strategies) applicable to their local jurisdiction. Highlight the specific measures in the grant-funded project that reflect the regional plan objectives: San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) has developed a preliminary sustainable communities strategy (PSCS) that identifies concepts to identify Target Development Areas to support “smart growth” development with emphasis on community centers and major corridors. This is seen as a way to encourage location-efficient development that can benefit from strategic investments of transportation infrastructure and transit funding. The goals of reducing dependency on the automobile, and fostering land uses that enable walking, bicycling and transit use will also support health and obesity prevention objectives. The City of San Luis Obispo shares these goals of encouraging alternative transportation and providing efficient development to leverage City and Regional resources. The Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) Update was initiated as a focused update to the General Plan to reflect that the City’s policies and objectives already support smart growth strategies now called out in the PSCS. The City has long had a tradition of supporting bicycle and pedestrian amenities as well as endorsing “smart growth” principles. Based on community input, community support for increased infrastructure for bicycle and pedestrian connections remains strong. The LUCE update also reflects policy designed to focus on infill, secure the City’s greenbelt and grow within the City’s sphere of influence rather than going beyond the City limits, thus preventing sprawl and the inefficient use of land. The proposed Land Use and Circulation alternatives and policy changes are the true measure of how this grant funded project will address sustainability and regional plan objectives. Specific sites chosen for further study include areas of the city that can accommodate infill projects, have access to urban services, and facilitate alternative transportation. Proposed policy includes a new Circulation Element chapter with policies and programs supporting multi-modal circulation measures, a new chapter in the Land Use Element with policies and programs addressing sustainability, a new chapter in the Land Use Element to reflect healthy cities policies, and new and updated policies and programs to support walkable, safe, and sustainable neighborhoods, enhance public safety, and develop in a manner that supports alternatives to the car. Project products, information, and links to hearings and materials may be found on the project website at: www.slo2035.com. 2. The progress to date on the goals measured by the indicators outlined in the grant application. The indicators can include process goals, such as numbers of meetings or the California Sustainable Communities Planning Grants and Incentives Program FINAL REPORT 2011 Page 17 extent of outreach efforts, as well as specific metrics such as reduced VMT or additional miles of bike lanes. For any indicators that cannot be measured at the time the annual report is due, the report should include a statement as to why a particular indicator is not yet measurable, and a schedule indicating the time at which the indicator will be measurable, including benchmarks which will be completed by that time. The indicators submitted with the grant application are attached as a table. It is not possible to measure progress toward these indicators because they rely on plan implementation and final approval of updated policies is still underway. The indicators were intended to designate how implementation of an updated plan would have a beneficial effect in the long term. For example, as bicycle infrastructure is installed and increase focus is placed on multi-modal solutions, the indicator will reveal whether more community members choose to bike to work, school and other destinations. Results of this particular strategy/program are also associated with the indicators of obesity rates and energy usage. The evaluation of the draft plan through the Environmental Review process provided projected information related to vehicle miles traveled and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Implementation of the LUCE Update would involve operation of development projects that generate long-term emissions of criteria air pollutants and ozone precursors. Implementation of the LUCE Update would also include implementation of sustainability, prioritization of bike and pedestrian infrastructure, support of transit and multi-modal policies and programs that would lessen impacts related to development. Indicators that relate to implementation of the current General Plan for calendar year 2013 are documented as part of the City’s General Plan Annual Report (attached). 3. What are the issues/barriers that may have arisen to make it difficult to implement the regional sustainability goals at the local level? Indicate a plan to overcome those barriers. During this year there have been no issues or barriers to implementing regional sustainability goals at the local level. 4. What are the successes, barriers and lessons learned from the grant process and the grant-funded project? The grant application process was quite rigorous and required thoughtful consideration of budget, project planning and management, and resources needed to complete the project. Cost involved in updating a General Plan can be a barrier to keeping this vital “blueprint” for future physical development of the community current and reflective of community vision. The LUCE update project would not have been possible to complete without grant resources. Lessons learned through the LUCE update project include recognition of an engaged and passionate community. Workshops were well-attended and public input during the hearings and meetings have made positive changes to the elements. The visioning and policy-making process has been guided by a committed group of resident-volunteers who collectively donated over a thousand hours of community service in helping craft the documents that will guide the City’s path to the year 2035.

Also, the City took a public opinion survey and established committees to give advice on the element. The introduction to the 1977 Land Use Element contained a philosophical discussion of existing conditions and issues facing the City. The discussion is still valid today. Its premise is that the City and County, while still relatively rural and apparently capable of providing room for new residents, face some known and several undefined finite resources which may constrain growth. Furthermore, the introduction said, public attitudes towards the desirability of growth had changed since the City’s first General Plan; experience with growth had caused citizens and public officials to question whether growth, even well planned, produces benefits worth the social, economic and environmental costs and consequences. Despite such consistent and strong expression of community values, there has been continued, incremental degradation of the natural environment expressly valued by residents of San Luis Obispo. On the environmental side, the element stated that key resources known to have finite limits were water supply and air quality. All the basic resources -- land, water and air -- can accommodate some additional growth without severe impacts, but eventually and inevitably growth must stabilize and stop, or else exceed resource limitations with destructive social, economic and environmental ramifications. The purpose of the 1977 element, the Introduction said, was to apply planning methodologies to manage the rate and extent of growth so that irreversible environmental problems would not get out of hand before they were recognized. Concerns about environmental quality continue today, and are the basis for much of the General Plan. Votes of residents and the public opinion survey of residents done as part of the General Plan update have strongly reaffirmed the commitment of residents to preserve and enhance the environmental quality of our community. In the years since 1977 additional issues have become better defined. One, for example, is the maintenance of the remaining prime farmland in and around the City. The 1977 Element cited this as one of the primary issues facing planners, but failed to propose a concrete solution. As a result, irreplaceable agricultural land has been lost. The General Plan now proposes solutions to the continued irretrievable loss of this world-class natural asset. Another issue that was less well understood in 1977 is the preservation of important wildlife and native plant habitats. The General Plan now proposes preservation of such habitats, including planning based on the identification, mapping and monitoring of the community's existing natural assets. This element is an update of the 1977 element; it represents fine tuning rather than a new beginning.” ATTACHMENT 2 2 Page 21 of Draft LUE Land Use Designations within LUCE Planning Sub-area Within the LUCE Planning Sub-area, tThe General Plan Land Use Diagram includes residential, commercial, industrial, and other land use designations that depict the types of land uses that will be allowed within the LUCE Planning Sub-area. Table 1 identifiesdescribes all of the designations along with their corresponding development intensity standards, as follows:. Tables 1 and 2 provide same information: Page 28 of Draft LUE Land Use Designations Outside the LUCE Planning Sub-area Most of the land within the City’s Greenbelt (see Figure 5 in the Conservation and Open space Element), but outside the City limits (unincorporated lands), is designated by the County for Agriculture or Open Space. The City supports these land use designations and discourages any further subdivision of existing parcels unless such subdivision is expressly part of strategy to permanently preserve agriculture and/or open space. However, if any new lots are permitted apart from such a strategy, they should be a minimum of 20 acres in size or greater. Chapter 1 Growth Management Added Policy - Page 36 of Draft LUE (under 1.12.1) NEW: Recycled Water Provision of recycled water outside of City limits may only be considered in compliance with Water and Wastewater Element Policy A 7.3.4 and the following findings: a) Non-potable/recycled water is necessary to support continued agricultural operations. b) Provision of non-potable/recycled water will not be used to increase development potential of property being served. c) Non-potable/recycled water will not be further treated to make it potable. d) Prior to provision of non-potable/recycled water, the property to be served will record a conservation, open space, Williamson Act, or other easement instrument to maintain the area being served in agriculture and open space while recycled water is being provided. Chapter 2 Conservation and Development of Residential Neighborhoods Page 43 of Draft LUE 2.2.9 Compatible Development The City shall require that new Hhousing built within an existing neighborhood should be in be sited and designed to be compatible with the scale and in character with that of the neighborhood. All multifamily development and large group-living facilities should shall be compatible with any nearby, lower density development. Compatibility for all development shall be evaluated using the following criteria: A. Architectural Character New Buildings should respect existing buildings which contribute to neighborhood historical or architectural character, in terms of size, spacing, and variety. ATTACHMENT 2 3 A. Front Setback Patterns New development shall match the typical range of setbacks used in areas adjacent to the project. B. Landscaping New development shall repeat or enhance the landscaping provided in parkway areas (if any exist) along street frontages. C. Rhythm of Development New development shall reflect the rhythm of existing development in the area including features such as setbacks and façade widths along the front setback. Larger structures, such as multi-family (as allowed by the General Plan land use designation for the site) should replicate the spacing of structural components along the street frontage. D. Street Orientation New development shall match the general orientation of existing residential structures in the adjacent area and shall provide an inviting façade facing public streets. E. Architecture Architectural compatibility will be assessed based on a combination of factors, including height, scale, mass, form and architectural style. Desired outcome is a smooth transition between existing and proposed development, supporting a quality neighborhood. F. Privacy and Solar Access New buildings will respect the privacy and solar access of neighboring buildings and outdoor areas, particularly where multistory buildings or additions may overlook backyards of adjacent dwellings. (See also the City’s Conservation and Open Space Element.) G. Preservation of Natural, Historic and Cultural Features New development shall: a. Respect historic context b. Maintain mature trees on-site to the maximum extent feasible c. Protect stream corridors and natural drainages H. Housing Diversity A mix of housing types, and a range of density within a neighborhood an area is generally desirable (see also Policy 2.1.6). I. Parking New development: a. Outside of the Downtown In-lieu Parking Fee Area, new development will be required to provide adequate off-street parking to match the intended use. b. For multi-family, parking shall be sited and designed to minimize the visual impact from the public street. Page 46 of Draft LUE 2.3.1 Density Categories The following residential density categories are established in (Table 41) within LUCE Planning Sub-area, and Table 2 for areas outside the LUCE Planning Sub-area but within the City’s Planning Area. For planning studies conducted, Table 5 provides a typical population density for each residential land use designation. Residential density is expressed as the number of dwellings per acre of net site area within the designation. In determining net area, the following types of areas are excluded: sensitive features such as creeks, habitats of rare or endangered plants and animals, and significant trees; land dedicated in fee to the public for streets or neighborhood parks. ATTACHMENT 2 4 For the categories other than Rural Agriculture/Open Space, Residential Rural, Residential Suburban, and Low-Density Residential, densities are expressed in terms of a standard two- bedroom dwelling. This approach is intended to achieve population densities approximately like those indicated. More or fewer dwellings having different bedroom counts may be built depending on the number of people expected to live in a project, as indicated by the number of bedrooms. The population-density standards assumptions also apply to group residential facilities. (For allowed residential development in Office, commercial, and manufacturing districts non-residential designations, see the sections concerning those districts Table 1.) Chapter 4 Downtown Page 67 of Draft LUE New Policy The City shall increase Downtown green space and public parks, including pocket parks and parklets, as the number of people living Downtown increases. Chapter 7 Airport Added Policy on page 92 of Draft LUE: 7.X Airspace Protection The City shall use the Airport Master Plan Update and FAA airport design standards and Part 77 surfaces to keep the airspace surrounding the airport free of objects where required by the FAA or shall limit the height of objects as required by the FAA. The City shall also ensure obstruction clearance is provided for all en route and terminal (airport) instrument procedures as per the United States Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) to avert modifications to any planned or published instrument approach or instrument departure procedures at SBP. Page 95 of Draft LUE 7.3.6 Internal Open Space The City shall ensure The areas designated for urban uses in the Airport Area Specific Plan, but not necessarily each parcel, should include open areas as site amenities and to protect resources, consistent with the Conservation and Open Space Element. In addition, the City shall ensure wildlife corridors across the Airport Area shall be identified and preserved. Chapter 8 Special Focus Areas Introduction (Last paragraph on page 97) The special planning areas Special Focus Areas are those that present opportunities to develop customized land use approaches or special design implementation to enhance their appearance and achieve their respective development potential: Foothill Blvd., Upper Monterey, Mid-Higuera, Caltrans site, General Hospital site, Broad Street Area, Madonna Inn area, Sunset Drive-in, Pacific Beach, Calle Joaquin auto sales area, LOVR Creek area, and Broad Street at Tank Farm area. ATTACHMENT 2 5 Pages 105, 106, and 107 Planning Commission recommended a footnote for the performance standards of all three Specific Plans: *There can be a reduction in the minimum requirement based on specific physical and/or environmental constraints.

Page 108 of Draft LUE 8.3.3.1 Foothill Boulevard / Santa Rosa Area This area, which includes land on both sides of Foothill Boulevard between Chorro and Santa Rosa, is currently developed as commercial centers that include highway and neighborhood ATTACHMENT 2 6 serving commercial uses. At the affected property owners’ request, the boundary of this area on the north side of Foothill may be extended to include one or more of the existing commercial properties west of Chorro Street. The City shall work with property owners / developers to redevelop the area as mixed use (either horizontal or vertical mixed use) to include a mix of uses as described under the Neighborhood Commercial, Community Commercial and Medium High to High Density Residential designations. The non-residential component of the project should include elements that serve the nearby neighborhoods. Examples include: • specialty stores and services • food service • entertainment, and • recreational facilities (except that movie theaters, nightclubs, bars/taverns and restaurants serving alcohol after 11 pm shall be prohibited). As part of this project, the City will evaluate adjustments to parking requirements to account for predominant pedestrian and bike access. Building height adjustments in this area can also be considered with mixed use development. Redevelopment plans shall include consideration of improving the existing complex intersections of Foothill/Chorro/Broad, the desirability of modifying Boysen at and through the property on the northeast corner of the area, and enhancement of pedestrian, bicycle and transit connections across Foothill and Santa Rosa/Highway 1 and to the campus. Among other possible incentives, building height adjustments on the North side of Foothill may be considered with mixed use development. The Fire Station will be maintained or relocated within the area. Page 111 of Draft LUE 8.3.3.12 Broad Street at Tank Farm Road Site Located at the northwest corner of Broad Street and Tank Farm Road, this approximate 10 acre site will be used as a mixed use site, providing for a mix of uses as described under the Community Commercial and Office designations and residential limited to upper floors. The site will provide a strong commercial presence at the intersection. Areas along the creek on the western edge of the site will be appropriately buffered to provide creek protections. Attention to connectivity, safety and comfort of bicycle and pedestrian circulation will be especially important in the development of this corner. 8.3.3.13 CalFire /Cal Poly-owned property on Highway 1 The Cal Poly Master Plan currently designates this area for Faculty and Staff housing. The City shall collaborate with Cal Poly in updating the Master Plan for development of campus property. Master Plan direction for this property shall address sensitive visual and habitat resources, circulation issues, impacts to City services, transition and potential impacts to surrounding neighborhoods.

ATTACHMENT 2 7 Page 114-115 of Draft LUE 9.3.7 Sustainable Design The City shall promote and, where appropriate, require sustainable building practices that consume less energy, water and other resources, facilitate natural ventilation, use daylight effectively, and are healthy, safe, comfortable, and durable. Projects shall include, unless deemed infeasible by the City, the following sustainable design features. A. Energy-Efficient Structure Utilize building standards and materials that achieve or surpass best practices for energy efficiency. B. Energy-Efficient Appliances Utilize appliances, including air conditioning and heating systems that achieve high energy efficiency. Incorporation of alternative energy systems (e.g. passive and/or active solar, heat pumps) is encouraged. C. Natural Ventilation Optimize potential for cooling through natural ventilation. D. Plumbing Utilize plumbing fixtures that conserve or reuse water such as low flow faucets or grey water systems and encourage new homes to be constructed to be grey water ready. E. Efficient Landscaping Include landscaping that reduces water use through use of drought-tolerant / native plant species, high-efficiency irrigation (drip irrigation), and reduction or elimination of the use of turf. Collection and use of site runoff and rainwater harvesting in landscape irrigation is encouraged. F. Solar Orientation Optimize solar orientation of structures to the extent possible. B.G. Privacy and Solar Access New buildings outside of the downtown will respect the privacy and solar access of neighboring buildings and outdoor areas, particularly where multistory buildings or additions may overlook backyards of adjacent dwellings. C.H. Solar Ready The City shall encourage new development to be built “solar ready” so that owners may easily install solar infrastructure, as appropriate. D.I. Solar Canopies The City shall encourage the inclusion of solar canopies that include solar panels (such as structures over parking lots) on new construction, as appropriate. ATTACHMENT 2 8 New Policy: Renew the Urban Forest The City shall Ddevelop a long term tree planting program to beautify the city, mitigate increased residential density, address die-off, and combat air pollution and global warming. New Program: Urban Forest The City shall Uupdate master tree plan and develop recommendations to renew and maintain the urban forest and plant more trees. Program Building Code Update The City shall regularly review and update its building codes and ordinances to identify revisions that promote energy efficient building design and construction practices, for example by including requirements for electric vehicle charging stations for new residential developments. Program Incentive Program The City shall consider the feasibility of providing incentives for new and renovated projects that incorporate sustainable design features such as constructing new buildings that are solar ready, or off-setting significant operational energy use through use of solar water heating, photovoltaic systems, geothermal or wind energy systems. ATTACHMENT 2 9 South Broad Street Area Plan Edit to footnote 4 on page C-29: Medical services To approve a Medical Service use in the C-S zone, the Hearing Officer must make the following findings: a. The proposed medical service is compatible with surrounding land uses. b. The proposed medical service will not significantly increase traffic or create parking impacts in residential neighborhoods. c. The proposed medical service is consistent with the Airport Land Use Plan. dc. The project will not preclude service commercial uses in areas especially suited for these uses when compared with medical services. ed. The project site can accommodate the parking requirements of the proposed medical service and will not result in other lease spaces being under-utilized because of a lack of available parking. Circulation Element Chapter 1 Introduction Page 8 of Draft CE 1.5.1 Goals and objectives Goals and objectives describe desirable conditions. In this context, they are meant to express the community's preferences for current and future conditions and directions. In the following statements, San Luis Obispo means the community as a whole, not just the city as a municipal corporation. Transportation Goals 1. Maintain accessibility and protect the environment throughout San Luis Obispo while reducing dependence on single-occupant use of motor vehicles, with the goal of achieving State and Federal health standards for air quality. 2. Reduce people's use of their cars by supporting and promoting alternatives such as walking, riding buses and bicycles, and using car pools. 3. Provide a system of streets that are well-maintained and safe for all forms of transportation. 4. Widen and extend streets only when there is a demonstrated need and when the projects will cause no significant, long-term environmental problems. 5. Make the downtown more functional and enjoyable for pedestrians. 6. Promote the safe operation of all modes of transportation. 7. Coordinate the planning of transportation with other affected agencies such as San Luis Obispo County, Cal Trans, and Cal Poly. 8.
