WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on January 21, 2003, in the
Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California for the purpose of
considering PD rezoning for Tract 2502, a planned unit development (PUD) with 9 two - bedroom

WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public
hearing on December 4, 2002, and recommended approval of the project to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Commission conducted a public hearing on
December 16, 2002, and approved the proposed building designs for the project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative
Declaration of environmental impact and the mitigation monitoring program prepared for the
project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony
of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations of the Planning
Commission, Architectural Review Commission, and by staff presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
as follows:
Section 1. Planned Development Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Council
makes the following findings in support of Planned Development zoning for the project site:
1. The project design transfers allowable development, within a site, from areas of greater
environmental sensitivity or hazard to areas of less sensitivity or hazard because the
proposed buildings are moved closer to the street, as required by Land Use Element
Policy 6.2.2.E, thereby avoiding putting people and development closer to Lot 11 and the
hillside areas at the back of the project site where unique plant resources have been
identified.

2. The project provides more affordable housing than would be possible with conventional
development because the applicant is providing two affordable dwelling units, where the
City's Inclusionary Housing Requirement only requires the development of one such
unit.
3. The project provides exceptional public benefits because a large area of environmentally
sensitive open space (Lot 11) will be dedicated to the City, insuring the preservation of
unique plant resources that have been identified upslope from the development area. The
proposed fee dedication is consistent with Open Space Element Policy 15.2.13 (GP
Digest) because it will allow the City to monitor and enforce restrictions in this habitat
area.
Section 2. Approval. The City Council does hereby approve application PD 155 -02, as
depicted in Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions.
1. Skylights shall be incorporated into the proposed building designs to insure maximum
use of natural day - lighting in indoor areas.
2. A pedestrian pathway shall be delineated within the proposed 20 -foot wide driveway so
that vehicles are more aware of people walking along the driveway. The pathway may be
delineated with stamped, colored concrete, or other method to the approval of the
Community Development Director.
3. The project Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions shall include a requirement that
garages be kept available for parking of vehicles at all times, and shall not be used for
general storage.
4. All mitigation measures are hereby made conditions of approval of the project.
5. The applicant shall detail the disposal location for excess dirt removed during grading
operations in the required construction materials recycling plan, which is reviewed and
approved by the City's Solid Waste Coordinator.
6. The applicant shall use an earthen swale instead of a concrete swale above the driveway
for drainage, unless the hydrology analysis for the project shows that an earthen swale is
not feasible.
7. The final map for the project shall reflect an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication for Lot 11,
or an Easement Offer of Dedication, per the applicant's project description, to the
approval of the Public Works Director and the Natural Resources Manager.

approval of the Community Development Director and Airport Land Use Commission
