Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on September 19, 2016, pursuant to a
proceeding instituted under application #ARCH 3336-2016/EID-3562-2016, Transitions Mental
Health Association (TMHA) and HASLO, applicant; and
WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo has
duly considered all evidence, including the testimony of the applicant, input of the Cultural
Heritage Committee, interested parties, and evaluation and recommendations by staff, presented
at said hearing.
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Architectural Review Commission of
the City of San Luis Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The Architectural Review Commission hereby grants final
approval to the project (ARCH -3336-2016), based on the following findings:
1. That the project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of persons living or
working at the site or in the vicinity because the project will be compatible with site
constraints and the scale and character of the site and the surrounding neighborhood.
2. As conditioned, the proposed modifications to the Sunny Acres building and site which
includes rehabilitation and adaptive reuse is consistent with the Historic Preservation
Guidelines and Secretary of Interior Standards, since character defining features will be
retained, repaired, or replaced in kind.
3. The proposed construction of the three new residential structures is consistent with Secretary
Resolution No. ARC -1019-16
ARCH-3336-2016/EID-3562-2016 (1600 Bishop Street)
Page 2
of Interior Standards for new construction on historic properties since the new construction
is differentiated to and compatible with the scale, size, massing and architectural features of
the Sunny Acres building.
4. The project is consistent with the Conservation & Open Space Element Policies 3.3.1, 3.3.4
and 3.6.8 because it proposes to preserve, rehabilitate and promotes adaptive reuse of a
historic building.
The proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy 8.6 (General Hospital
Special Planning area) because the project provides an affordable housing residential care
facility.
6. That the project is consistent with the Housing Element Policies 3.7 because the project is a
creative strategy for rehabilitating and reusing an existing institutional structure for special
needs housing.
7. The project is consistent with Housing Element Policies 8.1, 8.8, and 8.11 - 8.12 because it
encourages the dispersal of housing development for disabled persons, the elderly, veterans,
the homeless (or those at risk of becoming homeless), or those seeking congregate care that
is located near public transit and services and accommodates units for persons with
disabilities and promotes "visitability" in new residential units, with first -floor accessibility.
The project design maintains consistency with the City's Community Design Guidelines by
providing architectural design that complements the character, height and scale of the Sunny
Acres building and the surrounding neighborhood.
9. The project is consistent with the City's Community Design Guidelines because the proposed
project incorporates similar or complementary window and door spacing, exterior materials,
and roof pitch to the existing Sunny Acres building and the surrounding neighborhood.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The Architectural Review Commission hereby
adopts the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact which finds that
with incorporation of mitigation measures, environmental impacts will be less than significant.
