While we fully understand that the City Council cannot approve the project because staff decided not to prepare the required environmental documents, we believe that there are specific issues regarding the interpretations of City policies that must be addressed by the City Council before any project for the site can proceed forward. Policv Issues: In order to provide for the orderly development of the property, the City Council, the City's policy-makers need to interpret the applicable policies and give direction to both staff and the applicant. These policies include: Allowable Density: The property is zoned R-I and was zoned R-1 at the same time that the remainder of the adjacent Lawrence Street neighborhood was zoned residential. Under R-1 base zoning, the maximum number of single-family lots that would be allowed without any density bonuses is 18 lots. - 1 - r Mayor and Council \Mc ��bers Cite Or SWI Luis Obispo Tract 27? March 20. 2007 However given the topography of the site, the site would need to be deemed infill to reach that density. Under an infill designation, the maximum number of allowable single- family lots would be 17 lots. This was the direction given by Deputy Community Development Director Ron Whisenand prior to my client's purchase of the property and was the direction that was relied upon not only when my client purchased the property but also in the preparation of various design scenarios for the property. Based on that direction, the applicant worked closely with City staff for over one year and finally submitted the project as a standard R-1 infill subdivision. Subsequent to that submittal, a determination was made by staff that the property was not considered infill. Despite numerous efforts to have that decision reviewed by the City Council, this is the first opportunity for that policy determination to be made by the City Council. The definition of infill in the City's Zoning Regulation is where a parcel is "essentially surrounded" by development of the same density. Because this parcel is surrounded on two sides by single-family residential and on the other two-sides by City owned property that is zoned Conservation Open Space, it must be considered infill. Interestingly, had the property been developed at the same time as the remainder of the Lawrence Street neighborhood, there would be no question about its allowable density. It is only because this is the last remaining undeveloped single-family residential parcel that the density becomes an issue. Planned Development Requirements: Since the project is infill, it will be processed as a traditional subdivision and therefore does not require Planned Development findings and renders moot the question of whether the project can meet the Planned Development Requirements. Legal Status of the Application- The application was submitted on November 17, 2005 and the City's response letter was dated January 27, 2006. Under the Permit Steamlining Act [Govt Code §§65920- 65963.1] if the agency fails to notify the applicant that the application is either complete or deficient within the 30-day period, the application is automatically deemed complete by operation of law. [Govt C §65943.] This application, therefore, was deemed complete by operation of law after 30-days and on December 17, 2005 the map was vested and any subsequently adopted ordinances and policies are not applicable to the review and approval of the map. Subsequent submittal by the applicant of information requested by City staff does not change that fact. - 2— Mayor and Council Jctvrs City of San Luis Obispo Tract 272 \,farch 20. 2007 Status of the Uncompacted Fill: The fill that was dumped on the site apparently without a permit is uncompacted deleterious material which is currently a hazard to the downhill properties and must be totally removed. As a result all the existing plant materials growing out of that fill must be removed including the imported Buckeye trees. Although it is an acknowledged hazard, to date City staff has refused to allow the property owner to eliminate that hazard by removing the fill. Environmental Considerations: Despite the detailed analysis included in the Staff Report, the COSE simply does not apply because it was adopted in April 2006 subsequent to the vesting of the project. It also must be noted that the site is not undisturbed. In addition to the deleterious fill material that covers almost 40 percent of the residentially zoned area, the property was previously used to corral horses who denuded the site of all vegetation with their grazing and whose feed was most likely the source of the needle grass that is now growing over a portion of the site. Despite staff's representation to the contrary, no issue has yet been identified that would lead to a requirement that an Environmental Impact Report be prepared. We do not understand the basis for this comment in the Staff Report, especially given that staff has stated multiple times it has not prepared an environmental analysis of the project. Project Alternatives: If the property cannot be fully developed under its current zoning, then the options available to the community are to purchase the entire parcel, or pay the property owner for reduced density on the property. Conclusion: The following is a summary of the interpretations of City policies that we are requesting from the City Council as direction to both the applicant and City staff. 1. A determination that the property qualifies as infill. 2. As infill, the project will be processed as a standard R-1 subdivision and not a Planned Development. 3. A determination that the deleterious uncompacted fill, and all vegetation growing out of it, be removed. 4. A determination that the project is not subject to the subsequently adopted COSE. 5. Direction to staff to prepare environmental documentation for the project. - 3 — Mayor and Council MTbcrs City of San Luis Obispo I_racL 27?, \9arcb 20. 2007 We appreciate your taking the time to understand the points included in this letter.

The project is inconsistent with the General Plan requirements, it has open space and density issues, and as presented is clearly not suited for this site. In addition we have added concerns referencing the above de- velopment with the possibility of a signal light at the Lawrence Drive/Broad Street location and the added traffic from Mitchell Drive's altered ingress and egress.

Months of public input on the quality of life issues of the community and a direct public appeal by the city for a tax increase to assist in the quality of life issues now seem to be a ruse to raise compensation for city staff. The city staff now enjoy a retirement package and % rate that significantly exceeds the University and is non-existent for most citizens of the city. The San Luis Obispo retirement package has led to an early retirement cycle of highly paid administrators at the Director level. I am forwarding this note to my old town neighbors requesting they share their thoughts with you. It is important that the spirit of measure Y be honored. It is a matter of the public trust.

Over that time, we have.witnessed 00)change, not all of it positive. The neighborhood has, over the pastfew years LERK J undergone a "renaissance" - many of the houses are owned by young families who have spent time and money improving their houses; which is one of the few that can be characterized as "affordable" by San Luis standards. We are hearing of a new development at the west end of Lawrence Drive. We haven't been able to obtain much inforrhationr about what is anticipated. We are concerned that the additon will not enhance the area. Already two very large expensive homes were built on Meadow St. which certainly do not fit in. The unique character of the homes are mostly modest bungalows and stuccos. We have attended at least three meetings with Cal Trans, City Planners about future developments and have been frustrated and saddened that little has been done to address our concems about the ambiance and saftey of our neighborhood. We've been told at previous public forums that traffic congestion would be addressed with each new development, which marches on at a horrendous rate, with little heed to our neighborhood which as become isolated with speeding vehicles on Broad and South streets creating dangerous conditions to access these roads. We are concerned that whatever happens will be presented as a "fiat accompli" and that the prospect will be well on its way - irregardless of its effect on the long term residences like ourselves or the new families. If you drive down Lawrence, you will see very few BMW's and Lexus' and most of us would like to keep it that way.

Her term on the MTC would expire on March 31, 2009,at which time she would be eligible to reapply. Council initially appointed Diana Gould-Wells to the MTC on November 14,2006,to fill an unscheduled vacancy with a term expiring on March 31,2007. On December 5,2006, Council appointed her to serve on the Planning Commission,and concurred that she should continue to serve on the MTC until the expiration of her term in 2007. It was called to staffs attention last Thursday that Ms. Gould-Wells had intended be considered for reappointment to the MTC during the 2007 application process. Because Ms. Gould-Wells was not considered during the reappointment process,there appeared to be a shortage of applications for the MTC. Bob Wolt who is being recommended for the appointment to the Parks and Recreation Commission, also submitted an application to the MTC during the January recruitment. He agreed to serve as an alternate on the MTC while simultaneously serving on the Parks and Recreation Commission. However,he prefers to'give his full attention to the Parks and Recreation Commission. As a result, staff is recommending that Ms. Gould-Wells be appointed as an alternate on the MTC. 7, HR CDD Dip FIN DIR E +FIRE CHIEF RED FILE[P PW Dip MEETING AGENDA POLICE CHF DATE ITEM #�L S REC DIR UTIL DIR HR DIR r• �►d G:\301-03 AGENDASIRed File Correspondence\Red File 032007 Al Amended Recommendation MTC.DOC • Page 1 of 1 Settle Allen O From: D.&E.
