3. The existing property is not conducive to large.scale tourist serving development since it
is a very small site at the edge of the C-S district adjacent to existing retail and service
uses.
4. This project site is subject to several criteria which clearly necessitate an overlay zone in
order to ensure adequate review. The S overlay will allow the property to be zoned
consistently with adjacent properties since adjacent C-S properties currently contain an S
overlay zone. The following conditions warrant the S overlay zone:
a. The property is within a 100-year flood zone.
b. Los Osos.Valley Road is recognized as a road of high scenic value as cited within the
General Plan.Circulation Element.
c. As discussed in the General Plan analysis above, the Commercial Service parcels
Within this vicinity are designated for auto sales and discretionary review should be
required for new land uses in order to ensure that a shortage of land for auto sales uses
will not occur.
d. Planned improvements for Calle Joaquin at this location include a new four-way
intersection and a traffic signal, therefore new development should be reviewed
accordingly.
e. Changes in occupancy will trigger the removal of gas station associated infrastructure
and may require additional soils analysis and architectural review.
SECTION 3. Action. The Zoning Regulations Map Amendment (GP/R 19-05) is
hereby approved(Exhibit A).
SECTION 4. A summary of this ordinance, together with the names of Council
members voting for and against, shall be published at least five (5) days prior to its final passage,
