AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO AMENDING THE ZONING MAP FROM SERVICE COMMERCIAL
WITH THE SPECIFIC PLAN OVERLAY ZONING (C -S -SP) TO SERVICE
COMMERCIAL WITH THE SPECIFIC PLAN AND PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONINGS (C- S- SP -PD), FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 735 TANK FARM ROAD (PD/ER 182 -02).
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public
hearing on February 12, 2003, and recommended approval of the rezoning (PD/ER 182 -02) to change
the designation on the City's zoning map from Service Commercial with the Specific Plan overlay
zoning (C -S -SP) to Service Commercial with the Specific Plan and Planned Development overlay
zonings (C- S- SP -PD), for property located at 735 Tank Farm Road; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on April 1, 2003, and has considered
testimony of interested parties, the records of the Planning Commission hearing and action, and the
evaluation and recommendation of staff; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the General
Plan and other applicable City ordinances; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the draft Negative Declaration of environmental
impact as prepared by staff and reviewed by the Planning Commission; and
BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Environmental Determination. The City Council finds and determines that the
project's Negative Declaration adequately addresses the potential significant environmental impacts of
the proposed rezoning, and reflects the independent judgment of the City Council. The Council hereby
adopts said Negative Declaration.
SECTION 2. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Council makes the following findings
in support of Planned Development zoning for the site:
1. The project will be compatible with existing and allowed land uses in the area because PD zoning
surrounds the project site and the approved list of uses is consistent with the Airport Land Use Plan
and General Plan.
2. The project's location or access arrangements do not significantly direct traffic to use local or
collector streets in residential zones because the project is generally located on the corner of Broad
Street and Tank Farm Road in a developing commercial and industrial area with direct access off
Tank Farm Road away from residential streets.
3. The project does not preclude industrial or service commercial uses in areas especially suited for
such use when compared with offices.

4. The PD rezoning to allow large offices and other uses consistent with the General Plan at the site,
will not affect potential impacts related to noise, light and glare, and loss of privacy, among others,
imposed by commercial activities on nearby residential areas.
5. The project does not create a shortage of C -S and M zoned land available for service commercial
or industrial development. The project will not result in a loss of C -S or M zoned land.
6. As conditioned, the project is consistent with the General Plan, including policies on government
office locations and the desirability for convenience services primarily serving area workers.
7. A negative declaration was prepared by the Community Development Department on January 23,
2003. The negative declaration concludes that the project will not have a significant adverse
impact on the environment.
SECTION 3. Action. The City Council does hereby approve application PD 182 -02, as shown
in Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions.
1. Except as otherwise noted in these conditions of approval, all requirements included in the zoning
regulations for the C -S zone shall apply.
2. Allowed and conditionally allowed uses shall be as specified in the master list of uses for the site
(Exhibit B). Uses that are not listed may not be established at the site.
3. More than one office tenant may occupy office space on the site, but no single professional office
tenant may occupy less than 2,500 square feet of adjacent, interconnected floor area, as indicated in
the list of allowed uses recommended by staff.
4. The following types of office - related uses are prohibited: non - branch banking services, real estate
offices, financial institutions, medical clinics, doctor's offices, and lawyer's offices.
5. Government agencies not functionally related to general government, social services, or health care
operations, as specified in the General Plan Land Use Element Section 5.1 may be allowed at the
site through the approval of an Administrative Use Permit with the combined floor area of the use
not to exceed 25% of the total floor area of the building and documentation of limited public
visitation. The Hearing Officer may refer these requests to the Planning Commission if the request
raises potentially significant General Plan consistency issues.
6. Title companies wishing to locate at the site shall maintain a customer service office, such as an
escrow office, elsewhere in the City in traditional office zoning categories where there is no
restriction on customer visitations.
7. The property owner shall be responsible for maintaining and updating the current parking
calculations for the site upon the submittal of Planning and Building permits for tenant changes or
improvements to ensure the project site does not become under parked.

8. The proposed PD allowing professional offices in the C -S zone will require additional traffic
impact fees to be paid prior to final approval of the shell building or occupancy of the first tenant
space, whichever occurs first. A credit shall be given for those impact fees already paid with the
shell - building permit (based on a C -S zone commercial /industrial building).
SECTION 4. Adoption.
1. The zoning map is hereby amended as shown in Exhibit A.
2. The Community Development Director shall cause the change to be reflected in documents, which
are on display in City Hall and are available for public viewing and use.
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 Telegrame-
