CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO FROM: John Mandeville, Community Development Direct pw Prepared By: Tyler Corey, Associate Planner SUBJECT: REVIEW OF AMENDMENTS TO MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 17:. ZONING REGULATIONS. RECOMMENDATION As recommended by the Planning Commission, introduce an ordinance to approve the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact (ER 67-08) and adopt the proposed amendments to Title 17 (Zoning Regulations) of the Municipal Code. DISCUSSION Background Consistent with on-going efforts to update and improve various development regulations, the Community Development Department has prepared a draft update to the City's Zoning Regulations. Periodic review of City documents is necessary to ensure that regulations are clear, consistent, and effectively implement the goals and policies established by City Council. The last update to the Zoning Regulations was completed one year ago in June, 2008. Planning staff is committed to annually updating the Zoning Regulations to reflect current best practices and minimize the number of interpretations necessary for its implementation. Based on direction from the Planning Commission and Council over the past year, and staff s experience working daily with the document, several corrections, updates, and modifications are recommended (Attachment 1). Advisory Body Recommendation On April 22, 2009, the Planning Commission, on a 7-0 vote recommended that the City Council approve the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact and adopt the proposed amendments to the Zoning Regulations, with minor modifications (Attachment 2). Staff responded to numerous questions and discussion with the Commission regarding the proposed changes. Jerry Rioux, Director for the San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund, discussed how projects that qualify for a density bonus for affordable housing are allowed to provide all of their required parking in tandem, per State law. Erin Paxton, San Luis Obispo, supported tandem parking if more spaces would be allowed for rental properties. There were no further comments made from the public. The primary modifications made by the Commission were to Chapter 17.16.060.J (Tandem Parking). The Commission felt that tandem parking for residential uses should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis rather than establishing a maximum percentage threshold. The Commission recommended reverting to the existing language in the code with the exception of the last F'Ra - ti Council Agenda Report—GPI 67-08 June 2,2009 Page 2 sentence in the paragraph that prohibits tandem parking in the street yard, which is to be deleted. The Commission also modified the proposed tandem parking allowances for office projects to address thresholds and percentages for difference size developments. On a second motion, the Commission voted 7:0 to consider the following items in the next Zoning Regulations update: 1) Reconsider the slope density for commercial properties (Table 1: Maximum Residential Density for Cross-Slope Categories); 2) Reconsider Chapter 17.17.040.1) (Visible Storage or Maintenance); and 3) Consider limiting the size of 2, 3 & 4-bedroom dwelling units. The Planning Commission hearing minutes are attached(Attachments 3). Zoning Regulation Revisions The proposed revisions to the Zoning Regulations (Attachment 1) are based on comments by Commissioners and Council during recent project reviews, and recommendations made by City staff that work daily with the document. The revisions clarify and advance City goals and policies, provide for internal consistency, and correct typographical errors. Specific chapters that contain more substantive revisions include Chapter 17.08.130 (Live/Work and Work/Live Units), Chapter 17.16.060.J (Tandem parking), and Chapter 17.100 (Definitions), which are discussed below. Proposed new language in the Zoning Regulations is underlined, and proposed deleted language is shown in s4ikegifeugh.. Changes to the two tables, Table 9 (Uses Allowed by Zone), and Table 6 (Parking Requirements by Use), are shown italicized and shad. Main Areas of Discussion 1. Chapter 17.08.130: Live/Work and Work/Live Units. Since the Zoning Regulations were updated in 2003 to include Live/Work and Work/Live units, the City has not seen a single unit constructed. According to the development community, the reason for the lack of units constructed is due to overly restrictive design standards. Specifically, the 1,000 square-foot maximum unit size limit, of which only 30% can be used exclusively for living space, does not allow for a viable living or business area. To respond to this issue and encourage the development of mixed-use Live/Work and Work/Live units, Council directed staff to review this Chapter in its entirety. Upon detailed review, both staff and the Planning Commission recommend eliminating the maximum square-foot unit size requirement, and increase the allowable living space area percentage for a Live/Work unit from 30% to 60% and for a Work/Live unit from 30% to 40%. 2. Chapter 17.16.060.J: Tandem Parking. There is a trend in many California communities for new projects to utilize tandem parking spaces as a strategy to meet parking demand, while minimizing the site area devoted to parking. The Zoning Regulations provide the following limited guidance on the use of tandem spaces in projects by noting that: "For residential uses, when parking spaces are identified for the exclusive use of occupants of a designated dwelling, required spaces may be arranged in tandem (that is, one space behind the other) subject to the approval of the Community Development Director." Council Agenda Report—GPI 67-08 June 2,2009 Page 3 With the recently approved Pacific Courtyards Project on Osos Street near the downtown, findings were made to allow the required parking spaces for all of the residential units to be in tandem (except for the guest spaces). With a large new office project currently being reviewed, tandem parking has been proposed to serve on-site employees. Similar to the concept that tandem parking can be reasonably managed when set aside for residents of a designated dwelling, the idea is that tandem spaces for co-workers in the same office can work efficiently with proper oversight and coordination. The expanded tandem parking section provides performance standards for office projects as well as provides for tandem parking to be used in the Downtown-Commercial (C-D) zone for hotels and restaurants when a parking service is provided. 3. Chapter 17.100: Definitions. In an effort to provide internal consistency between Table 6, Table 9 and the definitions section of the document, several new definitions have been added and/or modified with corresponding parking and land use requirements. The intent of these changes is to provide a definition and parking requirement for all land uses categories listed in Table 9. In spring of 2008, during review of a new development proposal that included large one- bedroom dwelling units with lofts, Council expressed concern that "lofts" function as de facto bedrooms, which are not regulated by density or parking requirements. To address this issue, staff and the Planning Commission recommend limiting the size of one-bedroom dwelling units to 1,000 square feet (similar to the maximum 450 square-foot requirement for studio apartments), which includes the floor area of a loft as part of the gross floor area calculation. In addition, staff has also clarified the definition of a"bedroom", which includes minimum size requirements and openness with adjoining rooms. These changes address Council (and neighborhood) concerns over large one-bedroom dwelling units with lofts skirting density and parking requirements. Staff Recommended Changes since the Planning Commission Meeting Since the Planning Commission meeting, two additional changes to the Zoning Regulations update are proposed by staff to address concerns raised by the City Attorney and a recent State law. Specifically, the Attorney's office has requested that any reference to "Mobile Home Park Conversion" in the Zoning Regulations be removed. Staff is separately preparing a mobile home park conversion ordinance, which will be located in a different "Title" of the Municipal Code. Also, a modification to Table 9 is recommended to allow "Homeless Shelter" in the Public Facility (PF) zone per Senate Bill 2 (effective January 1, 2008), which requires all Zoning Regulation ordinances allow homeless shelters "by right" in at least one zoning district. Currently, homeless shelters require a Planning Commission Use Permit in all zones where they are allowed. ��a -3 Council Agenda Report—GPI 67-08 June 2,2009 Page 4 Environmental Review Amendments of the Municipal Code pertaining to land use regulations are not exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and therefore are subject to an environmental determination. The Initial Study of Environmental Impact prepared for the project does not identify any impacts that are considered significant and unavoidable (Attachment 5). FISCAL IMPACT When the General Plan was prepared, it was accompanied by a fiscal impact analysis, which found that overall the General Plan was fiscally balanced. Accordingly, since the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, it has a neutral fiscal impact. ALTERNATIVES 1. The Council could approve the proposed text amendments with additional modifications. 2. The Council could determine that the proposed modifications would be inconsistent with the General Plan and/or other policy documents, and therefore not approve the text amendments. 3. The Council could continue review of the proposed text amendments, and provide direction to staff for research and revisions. ATTACHMENTS 1. Revised text amendments (legislative draft) 2.

Purpose. This Section provides standards for the development of aewF live/work and work/live units, and for the reuse of existing commercial and industrial structures to accommodate these units. Live/work and work/live units are intended to be occupied by business operators who live in the same structure that contains the commercial activity or industry. A live/work unit is intended to function predominantly as living space with incidental accommodations for work-related activities that are beyond the scope of a home occupation. A work/live -unit is intended to function predominantly as work space with incidental residential accommodations that meet basic habitability requirements. B. Application requirements. The establishment of a work/live unit within the CS or M zones shall require approval of an.Administrative Use Permit. The applicant.shall submit application materials and fees as reouired by the Community Development Department. 'A t49 th6s dRf4GFM;#iQA and materials require d- far a Use P C. Limitations on use. The non-residential component of a live/work or work/live project shall be a use allowed within the applicable zone by Section 17.22.010 (Uses Allowed by Zones), subject to the following additional limitations. 1. Prohibited uses. A live/work or work/live unit shall not be established or used in conjunction with any of the following activities: 1. Adult businesses; or 2. Vehicle maintenance or repair (e.g., body or mechanical work, including boats and recreational vehicles), vehicle detailing and painting, upholstery, etc.). 2. Live/work- unit A live/work unit shall not be established or used in conjunction with any of the following activities: 1. Storage of flammable liquids or hazardous materials beyond that normally associated with a residential use; 2. Welding, machining, or any open flame work; 3. Any use defined by Section 17.22.020 (Land Use Definitions) as "Manufacturing - Heavy"; and 4. Any other activity or use, as determined by the Director to not be compatible with residential activities and/or to have the possibility of affecting the,health or safety of live/work unit residents, because of the potential for the use to create dust, glare, heat, noise, noxious gasses, odor, smoke, traffic, vibration or other impacts, or would be hazardous because of materials, processes, products, or wastes.. page 19 Attachment 1 city of san Luis oslspo zornnc, rzeGulations ,lune Zoos D. Density. Live/work and work/live units shall comply with the maximum density requirements of the applicable zoning district_, eXGept that '^ve'A.gn-* a;Rd yVAFk""vP- E. Design standards. 1. Floor area requirements. WOP141iV8 GPaGe shall be 1,009 6quare feet. No more than 630 percent of the total floor area of.a live/work unit or 40 percent of the total floor area of a work/live unit shall be reserved exclusively for living space. All floor area other than that exclusively reserved for living space shall be resewed-arid regularly used for working space. 2. Separation and access. Each live/work or work/live unit shall be separated from other units and other uses in the structure. Access to each unit shall be provided from common access areas, corridors, or halls; and the access to each unit shall be clearly separate from other live/work or work/live units or other uses within the structure. 3. Facilities to accommodate commercial or industrial activities. A live/work or work/live unit shall be designed to accommodate commercial or industrial uses as evidenced by the provision of ventilation, interior storage, flooring, and other physical improvements of the type commonly found in exclusively commercial or industrial facilities used for the same work activity. 4. Integration of living and working space. Areas within a live/work or work/live unit that are designated as living space shall be an integral part of the live/work or work/live unit and not separated (or occupied and/or rented separately) from the work space, except that mezzanines and lofts may be used as living space subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section, and living and working space may be separated by interior courtyards or similar private space. 5. Mixed occupancy buildings. If a building contains mixed occupancies of livetwork or work/live units and other nonresidential uses, occupancies other than live/work or work/live shall meet all applicable requirements for those uses, and proper occupancy separations shall be provided between the live/work or work/live units and other occupancies, as determined by the Chief Building Official. 6. Parking. Each live/work or work/live unit shall be provided at least two off-street parking spaces. The review authority may modify this requirement for the use of existing structures with limited parking. F. Operating requirements. 1. Occupancy. A live/work or work/live unit shall be occupied and used only by the operator of the business within the unit, or a household of which at least one member shall be the business operator. 2. Sale or rental of portions of unit. No portion of a live/work or work/live unit may be separately rented or sold as a commercial space for any person not living in the premises or as a residential space for any person not working in the same unit. 3. Notice to occupants. The owner or developer of any building containing work/live units shall provide written notice to all occupants and users that the surrounding area may be subject to levels of noise, dust, fumes, or other effects associated with commercial and industrial uses at higher levels than would be PAGE 20 ?A �— 6 Attachment 1 city of San t.uis osispo duns zoos _ zonmq Re-qulations expected in residential areas. State and Federal health regulations notwithstanding, noise and other standards shall be those applicable to commercial or industrial properties in the applicable zone. 4. Non:resident employees. Up to two persons who do not reside in the live/work or work/live unit may work in the unit. unless this employment is prohibited or limited by the Administrative Use Permit. The employment of three or more persons who do not reside in the live/work or work/live unit may be permitted subject to Use Permit approval, based on additional findings that the employment will not adversely affect traffic and parking conditions in the site vicinity. The employment of any persons who do not reside in the live/work or work/live unit shall comply with all applicable Building Code requirements. S. Client and customer visits. Client and customer visits to live/work or work/live units are permitted subject to any applicable conditions of the applicable Administrative Use Permit or Use Permit, to ensure compatibility with adjacent commercial or industrial uses, or adjacent residentially-zoned areas or uses. G. Changes in use. After approval, a live/work or work/live unit shall not be converted to entirely residential use unless authorized through Administrative Use Permit approval. Administrative Use Permit approval shall require that the Director first find that the exclusively residential use will not impair the ability of non-residential uses on and adjacent to the site to continue operating because of potential health or safety concerns or nuisance complaints raised by the exclusively residential use and/or its occupants. H. Required findings. The approval of a live/work or work/live unit shall require that the I. review authority first make all of the following findings, in addition to all findings required for Administrative Use Permit or Use Permit approval. 1. The proposed use of each live/work or work/live unit is a bona fide commercial or industrial activity consistent with Subsection C. (Limitations on use). 2. The establishment of live/work or work/live units will not conflict with nor inhibit industrial or commercial uses in the area where.the project is proposed; 3. The building containing live/work or work/live units and each live/work or work/live unit within the building has been designed to ensure that they will function predominantly as work spaces with incidental residential accommodations rneeting basic habitability requirements in compliance with applicable regulations; and 4. Any changes proposed to the exterior appearance of the building will be compatible with adjacent commercial or industrial uses where all adjacent land is zoned for commercial or industrial uses. If there is adjacent residentially-zoned land, the proposed changes to the building will make the commercial or industrial building being converted more compatible with the adjacent residential area. pace 21 10Na� � Attachment 1 city of san lues OBISp0 junE 2008 zoning RequL1tions Table 1: Maximum Residential Density For Cross-Slope Categories Average Cross-Slope Maximum Density Allowed (density units per net acre) in % R-1 R-2,0,GN, R-3 R-4 C-R,C-D, C-S, M C-T GC 0-15 7 12 18 24 36 24 16-20 4 6 9 12 36 24 21-25 2 4 6 8 36 24 26+ 1 2 3 4 36 24 By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may grant exceptions to the reduction of density with slope where the parcel in question is essentially enclosed on all sides by development at least as dense and within the same cross-slope category as the proposed development. The exception shall not authorize density greater than that allowed for the category of less than 15% slope for the appropriate zone. (See also Section 17.12.020D, Nonconforming Lots- Regulations.) b. Determine the Net Area of the Site. "Net area" is all the area within the property lines of the development site, excluding the following: 1. Street right-of-way dedicated and proposed to be deidicated to the City; 2. Area between the tops of banks of creeks shown on the Open Space Element"Creeks Map"; 3. Habitat occupied by species listed as"endangered" or"threatened" by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the California Department of Fish and Game, or as "plants of highest priority" by the California Native Plant Society;, unless the Community Development Director determines there is no"practical alternative" as defined by the General Plan: 4.

The resulting number (in density units, carried out to the nearest one-hundredth unit) will be the maximum residential development potential. Any combination of dwelling types and numbers may be developed, so long as their combined density unit values do not exceed the maximum potential. (Ord. 1365 (2000 Series)(part)) B. Density Transfer. 1. Development potential may be transferred within the area covered by a planned development(PD)zone, in conformance with the requirements of Chapter 17.50. 2. Where a portion of a lot is within a zone or zones that allow residential use and the rest of the lot is in a C/OS zone, and the portion within the C/OS zone is not large enough to allow one dwelling, the fractional dwelling unit potential from the C/OS zone may be transferred to the other portion of the lot, without planned development rezoning. pac,E 27 �a -8 Attachment 1 city of sAn Luis osispo .lune Zoos. _.- zoninc4 rzsGuUtlons 1. A "yard" is an area along a property line within which no structures, parking spaces or parking backup spaces may be located, except as otherwise provided in these regulations. Yards are intended to help determine the pattern of building masses and open areas within neighborhoods. They also provide separation between combustible materials in neighboring buildings. Yards are further intended to help provide landscape beauty, air circulation, views and exposure to sunlight for both natural illumination and use of solar energy. 2. These regulations provide for two types of yards: a. "Street yard" means a yard adjacent to a local street, State highway, or adopted setback line. Frontages on Highway 101 are not street yards. b. An 'other yard" is any yard other than a street yard (i.e. side and rear yards). B. Measurement of Yards. 1. Street yards shall be measured from the right-of-way line or adopted setback line to the nearest point of the wall of any building. 2. Other yards shall be measured from the property line to the nearest point of the wall of any building. 3. The height of a building in relation to yard standards is the vertical distance from the ground to the top of the roof, measured at a point which is a specific distance from the property line. Height measurements shall be based on the existing topography of the site, before grading for proposed on-site improvements. (Ord. 1365 (2000 Series)(part)) C. Yard Standards. 1. Street yards shall comply with the following: Table 2: Minimum Street Yards Zone Minimum Street Yard R-1 20 feet R-2 20 feet R-3 15 feet R-4 15 feet C/OS 20 feet O 15 feet PF As provided in zone of adjacent lot* C-N 10 feet C-C As provided in zone of adjacent lot* C-D As provided in zone of adjacent lot* C-R As provided in zone of adjacent lot* C-T 10 feet C-S See Chapter 17.46 M See Chapter 17.48 BP See Chapter 17.49 * If the zone of adjacent lot does not have its own standard, no street yard is required.

Yards with City-required landscape plans shall be landscaped and maintained in accordance with approved plans. D. What may Occupy Yards. 1. Utility Structures. Components of public utility systems may be located within street yards when approved by the Architectural Review Commission. 2. Fences, Walls and Hedges. Fences, walls and hedges may occupy yards to the extent provided in Section 17.16.050. (Vegetation may be controlled by the California Solar Shade Control Act.) 3. Arbors and Trellises. Arbors and trellises may occupy yards subject to the extent provided in Section 17.16.050. Arbors and trellises shall not be connected to or supported by a building, nor be designed to support loads other than vines or similar plantings. They are not considered structures for zoning purposes and shall not be used as patio covers. 3. Signs. Signs in conformance with the Sign Regulations codified in Chapter 15.40 may occupy yards to the extent provided in those regulations. 4. Architectural Features. The following and similar architectural features may extend into a required yard no more than 30 inches: a. Cornices, canopies, eaves, buttresses, chimneys, solar collectors, shading louvers, reflectors, water heater enclosures, and bay or other projecting windows that do not include usable floor space (Figure 1). pagE 31 Attachment 1 city of sAn lues OBISpo zonmq uequlations jum 2008 u` Figure 1 b.

For single dwellings required parking may be approved by the Director to be in tandem where safe and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. S. Enclosed Parking Spaces in Street Yard Prohibited. In no case may an enclosed parking space from which vehicles exit directly onto the street be located less than 20 feet from the street right-of-way or setback line. In a flag lot subdivision, this setback requirement shall apply to the access roadway. E. Exception To Yard Requirements. These regulations provide two general types of exceptions to the yard requirements: first, those which the property is entitled to because of physical circumstances, and second, those which the City may approve upon request and subject to certain discretionary criteria. page 32 -tachment 1 city of San lues OBISPO zomnq ueGulations ,dune 2008 B. Exceptions to Retail Building Size Limits 1. When an otherwise lawful retail establishment existed on the effective date of the size limits, such structure shall be considered a development non-conformity but may be continued, structurally altered, repaired or reconstructed so long as it is not increased, extended or enlarged beyond the gross floor area of the building that existed on that date. To the extent practicable, the design guidelines for large-scale retail projects shall be applied to any alteration, reconstruction or repair that takes place after the effective date of the size limits. 17.16.040 Height The height of a building is the vertical distance from the average level of the ground under the building to the topmost point of the roof, including parapets. The average level of the ground is determined by adding the elevation of the lowest point of the part of the lot covered by the building to the elevation of the highest point of the part of the lot covered by the building, and dividing by two. (See Figure 7.) Height measurements shall be based on existing topography of the site, before grading for proposed on-site improvements.

A. Intent. This section is intended to ensure provision of adequate off-street parking, considering the demands likely to result from various uses, combinations of uses, and settings. It is the City's intent, where possible, to consolidate.parking and to minimize the area devoted exclusively to parking and drives when typical demands may be satisfied more efficiently by shared facilities. B. Shared parking reduction. Where two or more uses share common parking areas, the total number of parking spaces required may be reduced by up to 10%, with approval of an administrative use permit. Where shared parking is located on more than one parcel, affected parties must record an agreement governing the shared parking, to the satisfaction of the Director. C. Mixed-use parking reduction. By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may reduce the parking requirement for projects sharing parking by up to 20%, in addition to the shared parking reduction, for a total maximum parking reduction of 30%, upon finding that the times of maximum parking demand from various uses will not coincide. D. Automobile trip reduction. By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may reduce the parking requirement for projects implementing non-auto travel,. particularly for commuting, when it can be demonstrated that reduction of on-site parking will be safe, and will not be detrimental to the surrounding area or cause a decline in quality of life. The applicant shall provide reasonable justification for the reduction, including innovative project design, transportation demand management (tdm), or incentives, which will reduce single-occupant vehicle travel to and from the site. These may include, but are not limited to programs such as carsharing, employer-paid transit passes, cashouts (i.e. trip reduction incentive plans), or off-peak work hours. E. Off-site Parking. The Director may, by approving an administrative use permit, allow some or all of the required parking to be located on a site different from the use. Such off-site parking shall be within a zone where the use is allowed or conditionally allowed, or within an office, commercial or manufacturing zone. It shall be within 300 feet of the use and shall not be separated from the use by any feature that would make pedestrian access inconvenient or hazardous. The site on which the parking is located shall be owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the party controlling the use. (Ord. 1006-1 (part), 1984; Ord. 941 - 1 (part), 1982: prior code-9202.5(G)) F. Bicycle and Motorcycle Spaces. Each use or development, which requires 10 or more spaces, shall provide facilities for parking bicycles and motorcycles as follows: 1. Motorcycle Spaces. Parking for motorcycles shall be provided at the rate of one space for each 20 car spaces. Projects that provide more motorcycle spaces than required may reduce the required car spaces at the rate of one car space for each five motorcycle spaces, up to a 10% reduction, subject to the approval of the Community Development Director. 2. Bicycle Spaces. Parking for bicycles shall be provided in accordance with Table 6.5. All bicycle spaces shall be located at the ground floor level. Additional City standards and guidelines for bicycle parking can be found in the City's Engineering Standards, Community Design Guidelines, and Bicycle Transportation Plan. Projects which provide more bicycle and/or motorcycle spaces than required may reduce the required car spaces at the rate of one car PAGE 44 Pka- �� 3 Attachment 1 city of san Luis oslspo ,lune 2008 zonrnc, aeguLitions space for each five bicycle spaces, up to a 10% reduction, subject to the approval of the Community Development Director. All bicycle parking that exceeds the required number of spaces shall be apportioned between short-term and long- term bicycle spaces as stipulated by Table 6.5. Any additional bicycle parking provided for residential uses shall be covered. G. Requirements by Type of Use. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, for every structure erected or enlarged and for any land or structure devoted to a new use requiring more spaces according to the schedule set out in this subsection, the indicated minimum number of off-street parking spaces located on the site of the use shall be provided. The right to occupy and use any premises shall be contingent on preserving the required parking and maintaining its availability to the intended users, including residents, staff, and/or customers. In no case may required panting spaces for a use be rented or leased to off-site uses or used for other purposes. Parking, in addition to these requirements, may be required as a condition of use permit approval. H. Uses Not Listed. The Director shall determine the parking requirement for uses which are not listed. His/her determination shall be based on similarity to listed uses, and may be appealed to the Planning Commission. I. Parking calculations. 1. The parking requirement is based on the gross floor area of the entire use, unless stated otherwise. 2. When the calculation of required parking results in a fractional number, it shall be rounded to the next highest whole number if the fraction is one-half or more; otherwise it shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number. 3. Where there has been a reduction in required parking, all resulting spaces must be available for common use and not exclusively assigned to any individual use. J. Tandem parking. 1.

Purpose. This Section provides standards for the development of live/work and work/live units, and for the reuse of existing commercial and industrial structures to accommodate these units. Live/work and work/live units are intended to be occupied by business operators who live in the same structure that contains the commercial activity or industry. A live/work unit is intended to function predominantly as living space with incidental accommodations for work-related activities that are beyond the scope of a home occupation. A work/live unit is intended to function predominantly as work space with incidental residential accommodations that meet basic habitability requirements. B. Application requirements. The establishment of a work/live unit within the CS or M zones shall require approval of an Administrative Use Permit. The applicant shall submit application materials and fees as required by the Community Development Department. C. Limitations on use. The non-residential component of a live/work or work/live project shall be a use allowed within the applicable zone by Section 17.22.010 (Uses Allowed by Zones), subject to the following additional limitations. 1. Prohibited uses. A live/work or work/live unit shall not be established or used in conjunction with any of the following activities: 1. Adult businesses; or 2. Vehicle maintenance or repair (e.g., body or mechanical work, including boats and recreational vehicles), vehicle detailing and painting, upholstery, etc.). 2. Live/work unit. A live/work unit shall not be established or used in conjunction with any of the following activities: 1. Storage of flammable liquids or hazardous materials beyond that normally associated with a residential use; 2. Welding, machining, or any open flame work; 3. Any use defined by Section 17.22.020 (Land Use Definitions) as "Manufacturing - Heavy"; and 4. Any other activity or use, as determined by the Director to not be compatible with residential activities and/or to have the possibility of affecting the health or safety of live/work unit residents, because of the potential for the use to create dust, glare, heat, noise, noxious gasses, odor, smoke, traffic, vibration or other impacts, or would be hazardous because of materials, processes, products, or wastes. D. Density. Livetwork and work/live units shall comply with the maximum density requirements of the applicable zoning district. E. Design standards. 1. Floor area requirements. No more than 60 percent of the total floor area of a live/work unit or 40 percent of the total floor area of a work/live unit shall be pace 19 Attachment 4 city of San Luis OBISPO zoning ueGulations ,IunE 2008 reserved exclusively for living space. All floor area other than that exclusively reserved for living space shall be regularly used for working space. 2. Separation and access. Each live/work or work/live unit shall be separated from other units and other uses in the structure. Access to each unit shall be provided from common access areas, corridors, or halls; and the access to each unit shall be clearly separate from other live/work or work/live units or other uses within the structure. 3. Facilities to accommodate commercial or industrial activities. A live/work or work/live unit shall be designed to accommodate commercial or industrial uses as evidenced by the provision of ventilation, interior storage, flooring, and other physical improvements of the type commonly found in exclusively commercial or industrial facilities used for the same work activity. 4. Integration of living and working space. Areas within a live/work or work/live unit that are designated as living space shall be an integral part of the live/work or work/live unit and not separated (or occupied and/or rented separately) from the work space, except that mezzanines and lofts may be used as living space subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section, and living and working space may be separated by interior courtyards or similar private space. 5. Mixed occupancy buildings. If a building contains mixed occupancies of live/work or work/live units and other nonresidential uses, occupancies other than live/work or work/live shall meet all applicable requirements for those uses, and proper occupancy separations shall be provided between the live/work or work/live units and other occupancies, as determined by the Chief Building Official. 6. Parking. Each live/work or work/live unit shall be provided at least two off-street parking spaces. The review authority may modify this requirement for the use of existing structures with limited parking. F. Operating requirements. 1. Occupancy. A live/work or work/live unit shall be occupied and used only by the operator of the business within the unit, or a household of which at least one member shall be the business operator. 2. Sale or rental of portions of unit. No portion of a live/work or work/live unit may be separately rented or sold as a commercial space for any person not living in the premises or as a residential space for any person not working in the same unit. 3. Notice to occupants. The owner or developer of any building containing work/live units shall provide written notice to all occupants and users that the surrounding area may be subject to levels of noise, dust, fumes, or other effects associated with commercial and industrial uses at higher levels than would be expected in residential areas. State and Federal health regulations notwithstanding, noise and other standards shall be those applicable to commercial or industrial properties in the applicable zone. 4. Non-resident employees. Up to two persons who do not reside in the live/work or work/live unit may work in the unit unless this employment is prohibited or limited by the Administrative Use Permit. The employment of three or more persons who do not reside in the live/work or work/live unit may be permitted subject to Use Permit approval, based on additional findings that the employment will not adversely affect traffic and parking conditions in the site vicinity. The pagE 20 Attachment 4 city of sin Luis oslspo junC 2008 zornnc, 2equLwons employment of any persons who do not reside in the live/work or work/live unit shall comply with all applicable Building Code requirements. 5.. Client and customer visits. Client and customer visits to live/work or work/live units are permitted subject to any applicable conditions of the applicable Administrative Use Permit or Use Permit, to ensure compatibility with adjacent commercial or industrial uses, or adjacent residentially-zoned areas or uses. G. Changes in use. After approval, a live/work or work/live unit shall not be converted to entirely residential use unless authorized through Administrative Use Permit approval. Administrative Use Permit approval shall require that the Director first find that the exclusively residential use will not impair the ability of non-residential uses on and adjacent to the site to continue operating because of potential health or safety concerns or nuisance complaints raised by the exclusively residential use and/or its occupants. H. Required findings. The approval of a live/work or work/live unit shall require that the review authority first make all of the following findings, in addition to all findings required for Administrative Use Permit or Use Permit approval. 1. The proposed use of each live/work or work/live unit is a bona fide commercial or industrial activity consistent with Subsection C. (Limitations on use). 2. The establishment of live/work or work/live units will not conflict with nor inhibit industrial or commercial uses in the area where the project is proposed; 3. The building containing live/work or work/live units and each live/work or work/live unit within the building has been designed to ensure that they will function predominantly as work spaces with incidental residential accommodations meeting basic habitability requirements in compliance with applicable regulations; and 4. Any changes proposed to the exterior appearance of the building will be compatible with adjacent commercial or industrial uses where all adjacent land is zoned for commercial or industrial uses. If there is adjacent residentially-zoned land, the proposed changes to the building will make the commercial or industrial building being converted more compatible with the adjacent residential area. price 21 Attachment 4 MY of son tuts omspo .IunC 2008 zonmq nequlations Table 1: Maximum Residential Density For Cross-Slope Categories Average Cross-Slope Maximum Density Allowed (density units per net acre) in% R-1 R-2,O,C-N, R-3 R-4 C-R,C-D, C-S,M C-T C-C 0-15 7 12 18 24 36 24 16-20 4 6 9 12 36 24 21-25 2 4 6 8 36 24 26+ 1 2 3 4 36 24 By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may grant exceptions to the reduction of density with slope where the parcel in question is essentially enclosed on all sides by development at least as dense and within the same cross-slope category as the proposed development. The exception shall not authorize density greater than that allowed for the category of less than 15% slope for the appropriate zone. (See also Section 17.12.020D, Nonconforming Lots- Regulations.) b. Determine the Net Area of the Site. "Net area" is all the area within the property lines of the development site, excluding the following: 1. Street right-of-way dedicated and proposed to be dedicated to the City; 2.

Area within the drip line of"heritage trees" designated by the City. c. Multiply the resulting area (in whole and fractional acres) by the maximum density allowed (in density units per acre) according to Table 1 of this section. (Ord. 1365 (2000 Series)(part)) d. The resulting number (in density units, carried out to the nearest one-hundredth unit) will be the maximum residential development potential. Any combination of dwelling types and numbers may be developed, so long as their combined density unit values do not exceed the maximum potential. (Ord. 1365 (2000 Series)(part)) B. Density Transfer. 1. Development potential may be transferred within the area covered by a planned development(PD)zone, in conformance with the requirements of Chapter 17.50. 2. Where a portion of a lot is within a zone or zones that allow residential use and the rest of the lot is in a C/OS zone, and the portion within the C/OS zone is not large enough to allow one dwelling, the fractional dwelling unit potential from the C/OS zone may be transferred to the other portion of the lot, without planned development rezoning.

These regulations provide two general types of exceptions to the yard requirements: first, those which the property is entitled to because of physical circumstances, and second, those which the City may approve upon request and subject to certain discretionary criteria. paGE 32 Attachment 4 city of san Luis ostspo zonmc, ueclutatlons ,lune 2008 B. Exceptions to Retail Building Size Limits 1. When an otherwise lawful retail establishment existed on the effective date of the size limits, such structure shall be considered a development non-conformity but may be continued, structurally altered, repaired or reconstructed so long as it is not increased, extended or enlarged beyond the gross floor area of the building that existed on that date. To the extent practicable, the design guidelines for large-scale retail projects shall be applied to any alteration, reconstruction or repair that takes place after the effective date of the size limits. 17.16.040 Height. The height of a building is the vertical distance from the average level of the ground under the building to the topmost point of the roof, including parapets. The average level of the ground is determined by adding the elevation of the lowest point of the part of the lot covered by the building to the elevation of the highest point of the part of the lot covered by the building, and dividing by two. (See Figure 7.) Height measurements shall be based on existing topography of the site, before grading for proposed on-site improvements.

Commercial and governmental agency antennae may exceed the height limits for the zone in which they are located if such an exception is approved by the Director. Any other exception to the height limits requires approval of a variance as provided in Chapter 17.60. For height limits of signs, see Chapter 15.40. Sign Regulations. (Ord. 1085 - 1 Ex.

A. Intent. This section is intended to ensure provision of adequate off-street parking, considering the demands likely to result from various uses, combinations of uses, and settings. It is the City's intent, where possible, to consolidate parking and to minimize the area devoted exclusively to parking and drives when typical demands may be satisfied more efficiently by shared facilities. B. Shared parking reduction. Where two or more uses share common parking areas, the total number of parking spaces required may be reduced by up to 10%, with approval of an administrative use permit. Where shared parking is located on more than one parcel, affected parties must record an agreement governing the shared parking, to the satisfaction of the Director. C. Mixed-use parking reduction. By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may reduce the parking requirement for projects sharing parking by up to 20%, in addition to the shared parking reduction, for a total maximum parking reduction of 30%, upon finding that the times of maximum parking demand from various uses will not coincide. D. Automobile trip reduction. By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may reduce the parking requirement for projects implementing non-auto travel, particularly for commuting, when it can be demonstrated that reduction of on-site parking will be safe, and will not be detrimental to the surrounding area or cause a decline in quality of life. The applicant shall provide reasonable justification for the reduction, including innovative project design, transportation demand management (tdm), or incentives, which will reduce single-occupant vehicle travel to and from the site. These may include, but are not limited to programs such as carsharing, employer-paid transit passes, cashouts (i.e. trip reduction incentive plans), or off-peak work hours. E. Off-site Parking. The Director may, by approving an administrative use permit, allow some or all of the required parking to be located on a site different from the use. Such off-site parking shall be within a zone where the use is allowed or conditionally allowed, or within an office, commercial or manufacturing zone. It shall be within 300 feet of the use and shall not be separated from the use by any feature that would make pedestrian access inconvenient or hazardous. The site on which the parking is located shall be owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the party controlling the use. (Ord. 1006- 1 (part), 1984; Ord. 941 - 1 (part), 1982: prior code-9202.5(G)) F. Bicycle and Motorcycle Spaces. Each use or development, which requires 10 or more spaces, shall provide facilities for parking bicycles and motorcycles as follows: 1. Motorcycle Spaces. Parking for motorcycles shall be provided at the rate of one space for each 20 car spaces. Projects that provide more motorcycle spaces than required may reduce the required car spaces at the rate of one car space for each five motorcycle spaces, up to a 10% reduction, subject to the approval of the Community Development Director. 2. Bicycle Spaces. Parking for bicycles shall be provided in accordance with Table 6.5. All bicycle spaces shall be located at the ground floor level. Additional City standards and guidelines for bicycle parking can be found in the City's Engineering Standards, Community Design Guidelines, and Bicycle Transportation Plan. Projects which provide more bicycle and/or motorcycle spaces than required may reduce the required car spaces at the rate of one car PAGE 44 Attachment 4 city of san Luis osispo .iunE 2008 zoninc, RequLitions space for each five bicycle spaces, up to a 10% reduction, subject to the approval of the Community Development Director. All bicycle parking that exceeds the required number of spaces shall be apportioned between short-term and long- term bicycle spaces as stipulated by Table 6.5. Any additional bicycle parking provided for residential uses shall be covered. G. Requirements by Type of Use. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, for every structure erected or enlarged and for any land or structure devoted to a new use requiring more spaces according to the schedule set out in this subsection, the indicated minimum number of off-street parking spaces located on the site of the use shall be provided. The right to occupy and use any premises shall be contingent on preserving the required parking and maintaining its availability to the intended users, including residents, staff, and/or customers. In no case may required parking spaces for a use be rented or leased to off-site uses or used for other purposes. Parking, in addition to these requirements, may be required as a condition of use permit approval. H. Uses Not.Listed. The Director shall determine the parking requirement for uses which are not listed. His/her determination shall be based on similarity to listed uses, and may be appealed to the Planning Commission. I. Parking calculations. 1. The parking requirement is based on the gross floor area of the entire use, unless stated otherwise. 2. When the calculation of required parking results in a fractional number, it shall be rounded to the next highest whole number if the fraction is one-half or more; otherwise it shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number. 3. Where there has been a reduction in required parking, all resulting spaces must be available for common use and not exclusively assigned to any individual use. J. Tandem parking. 1. For residential uses, when parking spaces are identified for the exclusive use of occupants of a designated dwelling, required spaces may be arranged in tandem (that is, one space behind the other) subject to approval of the Community Development Director. 2. Hotel and Restaurant Projects (New and Existing). Tandem parking may be used for hotel and restaurant development in the Downtown Commercial (C-D) zone where parking service is provided, subject to the approval of a Parking Management Plan by the Public Works and Community Development Directors. A Parking Management Plan is a document that outlines how site parking will be regulated and includes provisions to reduce parking demand, including but not limited to, availability of transit in close proximity, access to a car share program and access to information regarding alternative transportation programs. 3. Tandem parking may be considered in office development if all of the following requirements are satisfied: PAGE 45 Attachment 4 city of san Luis OBISpO zonmc, uequtations junE 2008 a. With review of the location and design by the Architectural Review Commission, where adequate maneuverability and access arrangements are provided; and b. When the tandem spaces are set aside for the exclusive use of on-site employees; and c. Where the total number of tandem spaces does not exceed 30% of the total parking provided for projects that require 10 vehicle parking spaces or less, and 15% of the total parking provided for projects that require 11 or more vehicle parking spaces; and d. With the approval of a Parking Management Plan by the Public Works and Community Development Directors to insure that proper management and oversight of the use of the proposed tandem spaces will occur. 4. For existing office development where there is a desire to upgrade or modify the parking layout to increase efficiency or better meet standards, and review by the Architectural Review Commission would not be required, the approval of new tandem parking spaces would require the approval of an administrative use permit, where adequate maneuverability and access arrangements are provided. pAgC 46 Attachment 4 city of san Luis oBispo zonmG Reclinations f6BRUARy 2007 TABLE 6 -PARKING REQUIREMENTS BY USE Type of Use Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required AGRICULTURE Crop production and grazing No requirement Greenhouse,commercial No requirement Livestock feed lot lAs provided in approved use permit INDUSTRY,MANUFACTURING&PROCESSING,WHOLESALING Bakery,wholesale Same as Manufacturing-Light Furniture and fixtures manufacturing,cabinet shop Same as Manufacturing-Light One space per 300 square feet office or laboratory area.plus one space per 500 square feet indoor Industrial research and development assembly or fabrication area,plus one space per 1,500 square feet outdoor work area or indoor warehouse area Laboratory-Medical,analytical,research,testing One space per 300 square feet gross floor area Laundry,dry cleaning plant One space per 500 square feet gross floor area Manufacturing-Heavy One space per 500 square feet gross floor area One space per 300 square feet accessory office area plus one space per 300 square feet to 500 Manufacturing-Light square feet manufacturing floor area,to be determined by director according to employment characteristics of each use,plus one per 1,500 square feet outdoor manufacturing area Petroleum product storage and distribution One space per 300 square feet office areas plus one space per 500 square feet indoor storage area plus one space per 2,000 square feel outdoor storage area Photo and film processing lab One space per 300 square feet gross floor area Printing and publishing One space per 300 square feet gross floor area Recycling facilities-Collection and processing facility One space per 500 square feet of gross floor area plus one space per 10,000 square feet outdoor storage area,but in no rase less than 4 spaces Recycling facilities-Scrap and dismantling yard storage space per 500 square feet of gross floor area plus one space per 10,000 square feet outdoor storage area,but in no case less than 4 spaces Recycling facilities-Small collection facility As provided in approved use permit Storage-Personal storage facility One space per 300 square feet once area and common indoor facilities and one space for every five storage units that do not have direct drive-up vehicle access Storage yard One space per 2,000 square feet gross floor area Warehousing,indoor storage One space per 300 square feet office area plus one space per 1.500 square feet indoor storage area One space per 300 square feet office area plus one space per 1,000 square feet indoor salesfstorage Wholesaling and distribution area,plus one space per 2,000 square feet outdoor sales area LODGING Bed and breakfast inn One per room or group of rooms to be occupied as a suite,plus two for resident managers quarters Hostel One space per five beds,plus one for manager.When the hostel is part of a residence:one spaceper five beds,in addition to.two spaces for the residence.

Setback: No part of a satellite dish antenna may be located in any required street or other yard. Antennas located outside a street yard setback but between the residence and the street are prohibited. 3. Height: Maximum antenna height to be 13 feet. All satellite dishes higher than side or rear yard fences shall be screened from neighboring properties. Roof-mounted installations or pole-mounted installations attached to eaves are prohibited except by use permit. Any antenna that may block significant views from neighboring buildings or from public areas shall be subject to architectural review. 4. Number: One dish type satellite antenna is allowed per site, in addition to normal television and radio antennas. D. Commercial Performance Standards. The installation of dish-type satellite antenna may be permitted in the Office, Commercial, and Industrial zones subject to the following criteria: 1. Installation shall be subject to architectural review in accordance with the adopted Architectural Review Commission Ordinance and guidelines. 2. Installations shall not be permitted within street yard. 3. Installations shall be located so as to minimize visibility from adjoining properties and rights-of-way. E. Exceptions. 1. Dish-type satellite antenna installations that are less than one meter in diameter are exempt from these regulations unless proposed on a historic building. 2. Dish-type satellite antenna installations that cannot meet the performance standards included in paragraphs C and D above may be considered if an administrative use permit is obtained as outlined by Chapter 17.58. Conditions imposed as part of use permit approval would typically include requirements to minimize the visibility of the installation, including blockage of significant public and private views of hillsides, city vistas, or open space areas. Acceptable techniques to reduce the visibility of dish installations include use of alternative materials (wire mesh instead of solid surface), painting the dish in a subdued or natural color, and landscaped screening. F. Open Space/Conservation Standards. The installation of dish-type satellite antennas may be permitted in the Open Space/Conservation zone subject to an administrative use permit and subject to architectural review in accordance with the adopted ARC ordinance and guidelines. G. Building Permit Required. All satellite dish installations require issuance of a building permit. This is to insure that dishes are structurally sound and properly grounded. Plans submitted for a building permit for a roof-mounted or pole-mounted installation require certification by a registered engineer. (Ord. 1107- 1 Ex.

Aesthetics Geology/Soils Public Services Agricultural Resources Hazards & Hazardous Recreation Materials Air Quality Hydrology/Water Quality Transportation&Traffic Biological Resources Land Use and Planning Utilities and Service Systems Cultural Resources Noise Mandatory Findings of Significance Energy and Mineral Population and Housing ' Resources FISH AND GAME FEES There is no evidence before the Department that the project will have any potential adverse effects on fish X and wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. As such, the project qualifies for a no effect determination from Fish and Game. The project has potential to impact fish and wildlife resources and shall be subject to the payment of Fish and Game fees pursuant to Section 711.4 of the California Fish and Game Code. This initial study has been circulated to the California Department of Fish and Game for review and comment. STATE CLEARINGHOUSE This environmental document must be submitted to the State Clearinghouse for review by one or more State agencies (e.g. Cal Trans, California Department of Fish and Game, Department of Housing and Community Development). The public review period shall not be less than 30 days (CEQA Guidelines 15073(a)). CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO 3 INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2009 PA,9- w Attachment 5 DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made, or the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet(s) have been added and agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant" impact(s) or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact(s) on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed I find that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in an earlier NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, nothing further is required. �f13101 Signature V, Date Doug Davidson, Deputy Director of Community Development For:John Mandeville, Printed Name Community Development Director CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPo 4 INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2009 Attachment 5 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL Il"ACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the analysis in each section. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A"No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. The explanation of each issue should identify the significance criteria or threshold, if any,used to evaluate each question. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more"Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis,"may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analysis may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR, or other CEQA process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (D) of the California Code of Regulations. Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the checklist. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
