DISCUSSION Situation On August 15, 2006, the City Council voted 5 to 0 to introduce Ordinance No. 1496 (2006 Series) amending the Zoning Map (Attached). Ordinance No. 1496 (2006 Series) is now ready for adoption'. The amended zoning designation will become effective 30 days after its adoption. Significant Impacts On August 15, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution No. 9834 (2006 Series) modifying the General Plan Map for the properties from Services & Manufacturing to Medium-High Density Residential, and approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. The Council also approved Resolution No. 9835 (2006 Series) to initiate the abandonment process for portions of Humbert Avenue and Frederick Streets. The final abandonment of these portions of right-of-way was conditioned to be contingent upon final approval of the Housing Authority's affordable housing development on the site, and will return to the Council at a later date. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose to retain the existing zoning designation for the sites..If the Council does not adopt the ordinance, the General Plan and Zoning Maps will be inconsistent, the former designating the sites as Medium-High Density Residential, and the latter designating the sites as Manufacturing (M). Additionally, the Housing Authority would be precluded from developing the sites with a residential project.

BE IT RESOLVED,by the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. 1. The City Council finds and determines that the project's Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately addresses the potential significant environmental impacts of the proposed project, and reflects the independent judgment of the Council. 2. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element policies regarding the expansion of housing opportunities and maximizing the development potential of infill sites. Additionally, the project is consistent with General Plan Housing Element goals and polices which encourage facilitating housing production and land use efficiency, including HE Policy 6.3.7 which specifically identifies this area as potentially being appropriate for residential uses. 3. The modification of 851 and 860 Humbert Avenue from an industrial designation (Manufacturing: M) to a residential designation (Medium-High Density Residential: R-3) would not adversely impact the overall supply of manufacturing property in the area, as the proximity of the sites to residential and park uses make it undesirable for many industrial uses. e,3 -,2- . -�� Attachment 1 Ordinance No. 1496 (2006 Series) Page 2 4. The modification of 851 and 860 Humbert Avenue from an industrial designation (Manufacturing: M) to a residential designation (Medium-High Density Residential: R-3) would not result in an inappropriate development on the site, as the Special Considerations "S" overlay will insure that future residents are aware of the existing airport, railroad, and manufacturing uses in the vicinity. 5. The modification of 851 and 860 Humbert Avenue from an industrial designation (Manufacturing: M) to a residential designation (Medium-High Density Residential: R-3) would not result in an inappropriate density on the site, as the Special Considerations "S" overlay will insure that future development of the sites is consistent with ALUP safety policies. 6. The Special Considerations "S" overlay is appropriate at this site, as it will ensure that future development of the sites are consistent with ALUP safety policies and City noise standards. To ensure that future development of 851 and 860 Humbert Avenue does not exceed ALUP density standards and is consistent with City noise and land use policies, the following standards shall apply to the Special Considerations overlay for these sites: Airport Safety a. All owners, potential purchasers, occupants (whether as owners or renters), and potential occupants (whether as owners or renters) will receive the disclosure document approved by the Airport Land Use Commission in conjunction with this review prior to entering any contractual obligation to purchase, lease, rent, or otherwise occupy any property or properties within the airport area. b. Development of the sites shall be evaluated for consistency with the City Zoning Regulations and Airport Land Use Safety policies, including maximum density of persons per acre, with development not to exceed a total of 86 front doors. c. Aviation easements will be recorded for all properties involved in proposed development. Noise d. The construction of future residential uses at 851 Humbert Avenue shall be accompanied by an acoustical analysis (noise study) to ensure that interior spaces and exterior private use areas are designed to mitigate noise impacts to levels determined acceptable by the City's General Plan Noise Element. Specific construction details shall be identified as recommendations in the study. e. All owners and occupants shall receive disclosure concerning the adjacent manufacturing uses and potential noise exposure. Attachment 1 Ordinance No. 1496 (2006 Series) Page 3 SECTION 2. Action.
