A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
APPROVING THE 80 PERCENT DENSITY BONUS AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INCENTIVE FOR 860 HUMBERT AVENUE, LOT 81(AHI 113 -14)
WHEREAS, the applicant, on December 12, 2014, submitted an application to request
an eighty percent (80 %) density bonus affordable housing incentive for 860 Humbert Avenue,
Lot 81; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on March 3, 2015, considered the request for the 80
percent density bonus affordable housing incentive for 860 Humbert Avenue, Lot 81 (AHI 113-
14); and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony
of the applicants, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff, presented
at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. Density Bonus. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council
makes the following findings:
1. The proposed project will provide quality affordable housing consistent with the intent of
Chapter 17.90 of the Municipal Code, and the requested density bonus is necessary to
facilitate the production of affordable housing units.
2. The request for a density bonus is consistent with the intent of Housing Element policy
8.1 and programs 2.17, 6.10, and 6.19 and the alternative affordable housing incentives
outlined in Section 17.90.060 of the City's Zoning Regulations.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination.
1. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (R/PD /TR/ABAN /A 27 -06 and ER 123 -08)
was approved by City Council on March 17, 2009 for parcels located at 851 and 860
Humbert Avenue. On February 2, 2015, the ARC adopted an addendum to the MND
because the proposed modifications were generally consistent with the originally
approved Moylan Terrace project (R/PD /TR/ABAN /A 27 -06 and ER 123 -08); therefore,
no additional mitigation measures were deemed necessary. All previously adopted
mitigation measures from ER 123 -08 and the addendum will continue to apply to the
project.
2. The project is exempt under Section 15194 (Affordable Housing exemption) of the
CEQA Guidelines because the project site is not more than five acres in area, surrounded
by urban uses, consists of the construction of residential housing consisting of 100 or
fewer units that are affordable to low- income households, and the units are deed
restricted for "affordable rent" for low - income very low income, and extremely low
income households for a period of at least 30 years.
