17.08.130 Live/Work and Work/Live Units Exhibit "N'
A. 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. Live/work 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
C
page i9
Attachment,
city of sAn hits OBISpO
zoninep neculations ,lune 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 livetwork 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 livetwork 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 livetwork 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
pace 20
Attachment .
city of sAn lues OBISPo
,lune 2008 zonmq Rec4ulations
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 livetwork 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.

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 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. 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.

,lune 2008 _ Zonlnc, Regulations
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

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

may be approved by the Director to be in tandem where safe and compatible with
the surrounding neighborhood.
8. 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.

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. (Ord. 1365 (2000 Series)(part))

17.16.060 Parking space requirements.
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
cY-l.2
pace 44
Attachment ' .
city of San Luis OBISPo
,lune Zoos zonmc, ueclutations
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:
pace 45
Attachment-
city of sAn lues OBISPO
zonmc, rzeculations ,lune 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.
