Prepared By: Pam Ricci, Senior Planner FfZ.
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING
MAP FROM MANUFACTURING (M) TO HIGH-DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL (R-4) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 313
SOUTH STREET; R 35-10.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 1558 which amends the zoning designation of the site from Manufacturing
(M)to High-Density Residential (R-4) for the property located at 313 South Street.
DISCUSSION
Background
On February 15, 2011, the City Council voted 5 to 0 to introduce Ordinance No. 1558 approving
the requested rezoning. Ordinance No, 1558 is now ready for adoption. The amended zoning for
the property will become effective 30 days after final passage of the ordinance.
Significant Impacts
The City Council approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project on February'15,
2011, which concluded that the project would not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment with the inclusion of mitigation measures.
Consequences of Not Taking the Recommended Action
If the Council does not give final passage to the ordinance, the existing zoning designation on the
site would remain, which would be inconsistent with the approved General Plan Amendment.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a
public hearing on January 26, 2011, and recommended approval of the project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing
in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on February

Development Corporation, applicant; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration of

WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony
of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff,presented at

BE IT ORDAINED,by the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
1. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map furthers the goals of the General Plan for
the production of new affordable housing units in the City.
2, The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with Housing Element Policy
3.12.7 which endorses "amendments to the General Plan to rezone commercial,
manufacturing or public facility zoned areas for residential use, to promote higher density
infill or mixed-use housing where land development patterns are no longer valid and
where impact to Low Density Residential areas is minimal". The subject site is in
alignment with the criteria included in this policy since it is immediately adjacent to other
R-4 zoning on its east side and directly across the street from R-2 development.
3. The proposed Rezone is consistent with Land Use Element Policy 2.5, Affordable
Housing, because the proposed 100% affordable housing project will "increase
residential opportunities in very low, low, or moderate income levels."
4. The proposed Rezone will not be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of those
living and working in the vicinity since the proposed change to the City's zoning maps
accommodates the development of the site with an affordable housing project of high-

quality character and construction that will be compatible with other properties in the
surrounding vicinity,
5. The proposed Rezone will not adversely affect the amount of area within the City set
aside for Manufacturing uses as the total site area of 1.53 acres only represents 0.6% of
the City's current supply of sites zoned Manufacturing.
6. The City Council finds and determines that the project's Mitigated Negative Declaration
adequately addresses the potential significant environmental impacts of the proposed
project.
SECTION 2. Action. The Zoning Regulations Map Amendment (GP/R 35-10) to
modify the zoning designation of the site from Manufacturing (M) to High-Density Residential
(R-4) for the property located at 313 South Street is hereby approved as identified within Exhibit
A.
