FROM: John Mandeville, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Jaime Hill, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY'S ZONING
REGULATIONS TO ALLOW TEMPORARY PARKING IN THE
BUSINESS PARK.ZONE (SP, R/TA,ER 107-06)
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 1497 (2006 Series) amending the City's Zoning Regulations to allow
temporary parking facilities in the Business Park(BP) zone, based on findings.
DISCUSSION
Situation
On August 15, 2006, the City Council voted 5 to 0 to introduce Ordinance No. 1497 (2006
Series) amending the City's Zoning Regulations (Attached). Ordinance No. 1497 (2006 Series)
is now ready for adoption. The amended text will become effective 30 days after its adoption.
Significant Impacts
On August 15, 2006, the City Council also approved Resolution No. 9836 (2006 Series),
amending the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP) to allow temporary parking facilities in the
Business Park (BP) zone and adopt a Negative Declaration for the project.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may choose to retain the existing prohibition on parking as a primary use in the Business
Park (BP) zone. If the Council does not adopt the ordinance, temporary parking would continue
to be prohibited in the BP zone, and the City would not be able to continue to pursue the
development of off-site parking for the Damon Garcia Sports Fields on the adjacent property,
which is zoned Business Park (BP).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AMENDING THE ZONING
REGULATIONS TO ALLOW TEMPORARY PARKING IN THE BUSINESS PARK
ZONE; SP, R/TA, ER 107-06
WHEREAS, the Airport Land Use Commission of San Luis Obispo conducted a public

Regulations and Airport Area Specific Plan to allow temporary parking in the Business Park
zone, and found these amendments consistent with the Airport Land Use Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a
public hearing on July 26, 2006, for the purpose of formulating and forwarding recommendations
to the City Council regarding the request to amend the Zoning Regulations and Airport Area
Specific Plan to allow temporary parking in the Business Park zone; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on, August 15, 2006, and has
considered testimony of the applicant, interested parties, the evaluation and recommendation of
staff and the records of the Planning Commission hearing and action; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the project is consistent with the City of San
Luis Obispo General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the Negative Declaration of Environmental
Impact as prepared by staff.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as
follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Council makes the following
findings:
1. The proposed Zoning Regulations amendment is consistent with the General Plan
because it will promote the efficient use of land and a diverse and dynamic
commercial sector by providing for additional parking facilities on a temporary basis
and for intermittent events, while will facilitating dividing parking areas into
multiple small lots.
2. The proposed Zoning Regulations amendment will not harm the general health, safety
or welfare of people working or living in the City, as individual projects will be
reviewed by the Director for consistency with City policies and standards.
3. The use is compatible with other land uses in the Zoning Regulations because
temporary parking facilities are conceivably necessary to accommodate intermittent
uses and to facilitate phased development.
