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:
a) 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.
b) 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.
a) 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.
b) The project is exempt under Section 15194 (Affordable Housing exemption) of
R 10600
