December 6th Council Agenda; Item PH 1; Zoning Regulations amendments
Growth Management and Parking amendments
This Red File covers two items related to Council Agenda Item PH -1. The first is to address any
misinterpretation about corrections to the Zoning Regulations regarding the City's Growth
Management Regulations, MC 17.88. Second, the draft ordinance has typographical errors in the
text amending the Parking regulations, MC 17.16.060. The following discussion clarifies both of
these subjects.
Growth Management
On June 15, 2010, the City Council passed Ordinance 1550, amending the City wide Growth
Management Regulations, Chapter 17.88 of the Municipal Code (Attachment 1). Ordinance 1550
was correctly incorporated into the Citywide Municipal Code, however the reprint of the Zoning
Regulations handbook did not reflect the changes enacted by Council. Therefore, staff included
the changes in the annual Zoning Regulations update as a "clean up" action to reflect consistency
with the adopted Municipal Code. The revisions that were shown are simply clerical corrections
to ensure that the printed Zoning Regulations handbook is consistent with the official Municipal
Code. However, after discussing this matter with the City Attorney, these revisions need not be
included in the draft ordinance. Instead the revisions will be included in the next printing of the
Zoning Regulations handbook. Staff has drafted a replacement draft ordinance that excludes the
growth management revisions that were previously passed with Ordinance 1550.

Downtown Residential Parking
The text on page PHI -3 accurately describes the proposed amendments to MC 17.16.060.
However, the legislative draft of the amendments (page PHI -16) displays text in section
17.16.060 G.7.f as strikethrough (to be deleted) when it should have been underlined (to
designate an addition). Section f. was also omitted from the draft ordinance (page PH1 -64).
These corrections are provided in the revised draft ordinance (Attachment 2) and a revised page
PHI -16 of the legislative draft (Attachment 3).
MC 17.16.060 G.71 should read as follows:
f. In order to facilitate housing development in the downtown, the director may reduce the
parking requirement for any residential element of a project in the CD district by 10% or one
space, whichever is greater. In allowing this reduction, the Director may require a vehicle trip
reduction plan be submitted for approval and such other conditions deemed necessary to reduce
parking demand. Requests for parking reductions greater than 10% shall be reviewed by the
Planning Commission and shall require a use permit. In granting such additional reduction, the
Commission must find that the increased demand for parking in the Downtown resulting from the
project is not significant due to such considerations as the project's design, location, size or
other features. The Commission may require a trip reduction plan and other conditions deemed
necessary to reduce parking demand.

and May 12, 2010 and recommended approval of the amendments; 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 June 15,

completion of residential dwellings in approved specific plan areas.
2. The proposed amendments to the Growth Management Policy will continue to maintain
consistency with the City's ability to provide resources and services, and with State and City
requirements for protecting the environment, the economy, and open space.

intent of the City's Housing Element Policy 6.1 which directs the City to continue to plan for
an adequate supply of housing to meet its regional allocation.

Ordinance No. 1550 (2010 Series)

Attachment 1
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 17.88.010 D is repealed and the subsequent sections are re-
lettered as follows:
17.88.010 Purpose and justification.
A. The regulations codified in this chapter are intended to assure that the rate of population
growth will not exceed the city's ability to assimilate new residents and to provide municipal
services, consistent with the maximum growth rates established in the general plan. Also, these
regulations are to assure that those projects which best meet the city's objectives for affordable
housing, infill development, open space protection, and provision of public facilities will be
allowed to proceed with minimum delay.
B. San Luis Obispo is a charter city, empowered to make and enforce all laws concerning
municipal affairs, subject only to the limitations of the city charter and the constitution and laws
of the state. Regulation of the rate of residential development is a reasonable extension of
municipal authority to plan overall development, in furtherance of the public health, safety and
general welfare.
C. According to the general plan land use element, the city should achieve a maximum annual
average population growth rate of one percent. The reserve of developable land within the city
and the capacity of proposed annexations could sustain growth rates which would exceed the
objectives of the general plan.
D. The growth rate policies of the general plan reflect the city's responsibility to accommodate a
reasonable share of expected state and regional growth.
E. To avoid further imbalance between the availability of jobs and of housing within the city, the
general plan also manages expansion of growth- inducing activities. The burdens of growth
management are not being placed solely on the residential sector, since it largely responds to
demands caused by other sectors.
F. Considering the likely levels of housing demand and construction throughout the housing
market area, nearly coinciding with San Luis Obispo County, these regulations are not expected
to affect the overall balance between housing supply and demand in the market area. These
regulations will not impede and may help meet the needs of very low -, low- and moderate -
income households. (Ord. 1459 § 3 (part), 2004: Ord. 1359 § 3 (part), 1999)
SECTION 2. Sections A, C and D of section 17.88.020 of Chapter 17.88 are hereby
amended as follows:
17.88.020 Allocations.
A. Each Specific Plan shall adopt a phasing schedule that allocates timing of potential residential
construction, including phasing of required improvements, consistent with the general plan and
with these regulations.
Ordinance No. 1550 (2010 Series)
Page 3
Attachment 1
B. The limitations on residential development established by these regulations apply to new
residential construction within certain areas that have been annexed to the city or that will be
annexed to the city. Development in such areas is subject to development plans or specific plans,
which shall contain provisions consistent with these regulations.
C. Allocations shall be implemented by the timing of issuance of building permits.
D. Dwellings affordable and enforceably restricted to residents with extremely low, very low,
low or moderate incomes, as defined in the city's general plan housing element, and new
dwellings in the downtown core (C -D zone as shown in the most official zoning map) shall be
exempt from these regulations. Enforceably restricted shall mean dwellings that are subject to
deed restrictions, development agreements, or other legal mechanisms acceptable to the city to
ensure long -term affordability, consistent with city affordable housing standards. In expansion
areas, the overall number of units built must conform to the city- approved phasing plan.
E. It shall not be necessary to have dwellings allocated for a particular time interval or location to
process and approve applications for general plan amendment, zone change or other zoning
approval, subdivision, or architectural review. (Ord. 1459 § 3 (part), 2004: Ord. 1359 § 3 (part),
1999)
SECTION 3. Section 17.88.030 of Chapter 17.88 is hereby repealed in its entirety.
SECTION 4. Sections 17.88.040 B, C, D, E are hereby appealed and Section A is
amended as follows:
17.88.030 Periodic city council review and consideration of revisions.
A. The Community Development Department shall provide status updates to the city council
concerning implementation of these regulations, coordinated with the annual report on the
general plan. The status update will describe actual construction levels and suggest if revisions
are necessary to maintain the City's one percent growth rate.
SECTION 5. A summary of this ordinance, together with the names of Council
members voting for and against, shall be published at least five (5) days prior to its final passage,
in the Tribune, a newspaper published and circulated in this City. This ordinance shall go into
effect at the expiration of thirty (30) days after its final passage.

SECTION 13. Chapter 17.16.060.G. of the City of San Luis Obispo's Municipal Code is
hereby adopted to read as follows:
G. Downtown Core: Within the Downtown - Commercial (C -D) zone the following parking
standards and incentives shall apply:
1. Parking space reductions noted in items B through E above shall not be applicable in the
C -D zone, as the reduced parking rates established herein are intended to provide
flexibility in meeting parking requirements and rely on the consolidation of parking.
2. Restaurants, sandwich shops, take -out food, bars, taverns, night clubs, other food
service or entertainment establishments, theaters, auditoriums, convention halls, and
churches: One -half that required in Table 6; provided, however, that in no case the
requirement shall exceed one space per three hundred fifty square feet gross floor area.
3. Dwellings, motels, hotels and bed and breakfast inns: One -half that required in Table 6.
In order to support and encourage residential uses in the C -D zone, additional options for
meeting parking requirements for residential uses are available as listed in subsection 7
below.
4. All other uses: One space per five hundred square feet gross floor area.
5. In determining the total number of required spaces, all fractions shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number. Fractions of one -half or greater shall be rounded to one; fractions
less than one -half shall be rounded to zero.
6. For existing buildings, only the parking needed for additions thereto or for changes in
occupancy which increase parking requirement relative to prior uses shall be required.
7. The parking space requirement may be met by:
a. Providing the required spaces on the site occupied by the use;
b. The director may, by approving an administrative use permit, allow some or all of
the parking to be located on a site different from the use. Such off -site parking
shall not be within a residential zone. It shall be within reasonable walking
distance and no greater than 1250 feet of the use and shall not be separated
Ordinance No. # # ## (201' tries) Attachment 2

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.
c. Participating in a commonly held and maintained off -site parking lot where other
businesses maintain their required spaces;
d. Participating in a parking district that provides parking spaces through a fee or
assessment program.
e. Participating in an in -lieu fee program as may be established by the city council.
Any parking agreement approved prior to adoption of the parking standards
contained in subsections (1) through (3) of this section may be adjusted to
conform with those standards, subject to approval by the community
development director and city attorney;
f. In order to facilitate housing development in the downtown, the Director may
reduce the parking requirement for any residential element of a project in the CD
district by 10% or one space, whichever is greater. In allowing this reduction, the
Director may require a vehicle trip reduction plan be submitted for approval and
such other conditions deemed necessary to reduce parking demand. Requests
for parking reductions greater than 10% shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and shall require a use permit. In granting such additional
reduction, the Commission must find that the increased demand for parking in
the Downtown resulting from the project is not significant due to such
considerations as the project's design, location, size or other features. The
Commission may require a trip reduction plan and other conditions deemed
necessary to reduce parking demand.
