RE: THE BRICKYARD, 2590 Broad Street, SLO - PDEV-3310-2016
HISTORY OF MEDICAL USE IN THE COMMERCIAL SERVICE (C -S) ZONE
1996— Brickyard PD was approved. Medical offices were prohibited (consistent with underlying
zoning).. PD and development was processed with an MND.
2004— City zoning ordinance is updated to allow medical offices with Directors approval and specific
findings. (Ord. 1451. App# TA/ER 22-04) Approved with negative deceleration (ER22-04).
2014— South Broad Street Area Plan is adopted in conjunction with the LUCE update with a certified
EIR. The South Broad Street Plan allowable use table matches the existing City-wide zoning
regulations for Medical Service in C -S.
EXCERPTS FROM 2004 NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Traffic: The project is an amendment to the Zoning Regulations and General Plan amendments
to allow medical offices in C -S and BP zoning districts. Medical offices would have to be
located along arterial or commercial collector roads, which are designed to handle any increased
traffic that may be associated with a specific development project. Parking requirements for
medical services are 1 space per 200 square feet of medical office floor area. As long as this
requirement is met, there will adequate parking for proposed medical facilities.
• Land Use: The project will not conflict with any land use plan or policy that mitigates an
environmental effect. No development plans are proposed or anticipated that would divide an
established community and there are no habitat conservation plans that will be effected by the
proposed amendments.
• Public Services: The proposed project will result in physical development that is typical for the
C -S and BP zones. No impacts to public services are anticipated.
CURRENT FINDINGS REQUIRE D'TO ALLOW MEDICAL SERVICE USE IN C -S
(excerpt from the City-wide Zoning Regulations)
In order to approve a Medical Service use in the C -S or BP zones, the Hearing Officer
must make the following findings:
a) The proposed medical service is compatible with surrounding land uses.
b) The proposed medical service is located along a street designated as an arterial
or commercial collector in the Circulation Element and has convenient access to
public transportation.
c) The proposed medical service will not significantly increase traffic or create
parking impacts in residential neighborhoods.
d) The proposed medical service is consistent with the Airport Land Use Plan.
e) The project will not preclude service commercial uses in areas especially suited
for these uses when compared with medical services.
fi The project site can accommodate the parking requirements of the proposed
medical service and will not result in other lease spaces being under-utilized
because of a lack of available parking.
