SITE DATA Applicant AuzCo Development, LLC Representative George Garcia, AIA Submittal Date June 24, 2016 Complete Date July 6, 2017 Zoning No zone designation (zoning to Tourist Commercial (C-T) proposed) General Plan Tourist Commercial Site Area 11,575 sq. ft. (0.27 ac.) Environmental Status A Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact is being prepared SUMMARY The northeast portion of the property at 1460 Calle Joaquin is designated for Tourist Commercial land use in the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan, but is not designated within any zone district (see Attachment 3). AuzCo Development, LLC, the project applicant, proposes to zone the portion of the property east of Prefumo Creek to (C-T) Tourist-Commercial (application RZ-0015-2017), consistent with the General Plan designation for this area, and to construct a two- story commercial building on this portion of the property. Architectural review of the structure and ARC1 - 1 dd Application ARCH-3143-2016 (1460 Calle Joaquin) Page 2 improvements is required, as provided in Municipal Code § 2.48.050. 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The City Council will take final action on this project, which includes a proposal to zone the property (Tourist-Commercial (C-T) Zone). The Architectural Review Commission will provide a recommendation to the Council as to the consistency of the project with Community Design Guidelines and applicable development standards. 2.0 SITE INFORMATION AND SETTING The project site is a flat parcel of land, just over ¼ acre in size, located on the south side of Calle Joaquin, about 450 feet northeast of its intersection with Los Osos Valley Road. It has an irregular triangular shape, tapering to a point at its northeast end, near the beginning of the Calle Joaquin off-ramp from U.S. Highway 101. Table 1: Site information Area 11,575 sq. ft. (0.27 ac.) east of Prefumo Creek Use (Existing) Vacant Some well equipment, to be relocated; sign frame to be removed Topography Flat Access Calle Joaquin Surroundings N: Services & Manuf. (C-S) Motel 6; America’s Tire; Automobile Club of Southern California S,E: Highway 101 ROW U.S. Highway 101 W: Creek Channel (C/OS-20) Tourist Commercial (C-T) Prefumo Creek (adjacent) Quiky Car Wash, Chevron, Toyota San Luis Obispo A channelized section of Prefumo Creek exits at a culvert under Calle Joaquin at the west end of the site and the creek channel continues south, then southwest, away from the site. Vegetation on the site is limited to grasses and riparian vegetation extending into the property from along the creek bank. The site is otherwise devoid of trees or significant vegetation. It is undeveloped, but contains small accessory structures and equipment related to a well on the site, which will be relocated within the site, and remnants of a sign frame, which will be removed. The property is designated Tourist Commercial in the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan, but the project site is not designated within any zone district (see Attachment 3). Prefumo Creek travels along the western edge of the site within a Conservation / Open Space (C/OS-20) Zone, whose boundary follows the course of the creek along its banks. As noted above, the applicant proposes to zone the property east of the creek to Tourist-Commercial (C-T). Auto- oriented activities characterize the immediate surroundings to the north and west, including an auto dealer (Toyota San Luis Obispo), a service station (Chevron), offices of the Southern California Automobile Club, a tire store (America’s Tire), and a motel (Motel 6). ARC1 - 2 Application ARCH-3143-2016 (1460 Calle Joaquin) Page 3 3.0 PROJECT INFORMATION 3.1 Project Description The proposed project includes: ▪ construction of a two-story building with 2,844 square feet of commercial floor area; ▪ a vehicle parking area with 10 parking spaces to serve the building; ▪ a solid waste enclosure; ▪ associated landscape and hardscape; ▪ frontage improvements (sidewalk, curb, and gutter); and ▪ an underground stormwater storage system (Invisible Structures, Inc.

Figure 1: Proposed building (east elevation) ARC1 - 3 Application ARCH-3143-2016 (1460 Calle Joaquin) Page 4 4.1 Community Design Guidelines Architectural design: The new building exhibits a contemporary style which, as described by George Garcia, the project architect, “reflects a simple marriage of mid-century freeway architecture with a modern intervention,” (see Attachment 4) that acknowledges the “Googie” vernacular of the nearby Quiky car wash building (originally a distinctively modern Denny’s restaurant building). It is anchored by rectangular smooth cement plaster forms at its southern end, with extensive glazing extending northeastward, tapering to a roof projection echoing the triangular shape of the site. Columns of grey Laminam Tile, horizontal bands of spandrel glass, and steel awnings hold these forms together and provide articulation and visual interest. Primary colors are shades of white and grey, with darker grey, black, and sparing use of red as accent colors. The scale, massing, and design of the proposed building are consistent with its surroundings, and the building exhibits a distinctive style that adds variety to the area (3.1(A); 3.1(B.1)). The contemporary building style, the honest use of materials (3.1(B.10); 3.1(B.12)), and the colors used in its design are compatible with neighboring buildings, which are modern in style and employ similar materials and colors. Colors, textures, and materials are used consistently across building surfaces, with well-articulated wall planes providing an interesting building shape and patterns of shade and shadow (3.1(A.2)). Natural features and Views: The site is adjacent to Prefumo Creek, and adjacent to a section of U.S. Highway 101 that is designated as a Scenic Roadway (General Plan Circulation Element, Figure 3). Creeks, hills, and mountains are considered scenic resources (see General Plan glossary definition for “Scenic Resource”). The Irish Hills form a visual backdrop to views near the site experienced from Highway 101 while travelling southbound, and Cerro San Luis is part of the backdrop of views experienced travelling northbound. Community Design Guidelines require that development proposals demonstrate consideration for natural features (3.1(C.1c)) and views (3.1(C.1d) and (C.2d)). Visual simulations provided with this application (Attachment 7) demonstrate that, given its modest size and height (less than 2/3 of the maximum permitted height), and extensive use of glazing that provides additional visibility through the building toward hill views beyond, the Figure 2: Visual Simulation (view 2, looking south): Before project (left) and after (right) ARC1 - 4 Application ARCH-3143-2016 (1460 Calle Joaquin) Page 5 proposed building will not “wall off” scenic roadways or block views, and will be consistent with General Plan policies for Views (Conservation and Open Space Element § 9.2.1). Figure 2 above depicts a typical vantage point from the highway, near the site. It shows that with the proposed development, approximately 3/4 (75%) of the view to the hills is preserved. For purposes of comparison, Table 5.4 of the San Luis Obispo Airport Area Specific Plan offer specific guidelines for view protection from roadways to backdrop hill views. These guidelines suggest that, for consistency with view preservation policies, development allow view of at least 60% of a scenic resource from specific vantage points along scenic roads, mainly looking in the direction of the road toward more distant hill views. The scenic value of Prefumo Creek, adjacent to the project site, is also preserved. The project site plan depicts the extent of riparian vegetation, and notes the vegetation as “Existing Habitat to Remain Undisturbed.” Condition 2 of the Draft Resolution (Attachment 1) states as a condition of project approval that existing riparian vegetation within this area shall remain undisturbed. 4.2 Development Standards (Zoning Regulations) As noted in the Project Statistics table above, the project conforms to the Development Standards applicable to a Tourist-Commercial (C-T) Zone, except that a discretionary exception from Creek Setback standards, as allowed b y § 17.16.025 (G) (4), is requested by the applicant, to allow for reasonable development of the site. Discussion of the required findings for an exception is provided below. The Planning Commission will make a decision on the requested exception, along with the environmental review Initial Study prepared for the project, at a future date. Creek setback exception (for unenclosed parking spaces). The site is adjacent to Prefumo Creek, and subject to a 20-foot Creek Setback as described in Zoning § 17.16.025 (E) (1). The limited developable area of the site, its curving street frontage, and its unusual shape, tapering and narrowing at its northeast side, constrain its development. The requested exception would allow six unenclosed vehicle parking spaces within the required 20-foot creek setback that extends from the edge of the riparian vegetation at the west side of the site (see Figure 3), but no structures would be placed within this setback. Figure 3: Creek setback (dashed line); shaded area depicts riparian vegetation ARC1 - 5 Application ARCH-3143-2016 (1460 Calle Joaquin) Page 6 The constrained developable area of the site would otherwise preclude the provision of enough parking spaces to meet minimum requirements, or would reduce floor area below an amount at which a viable project can be achieved. Redesign of the project would involve additional building height to maintain adequate floor area, negatively affecting the building’s proportions and functional efficiency, and causing it to appear more prominent from Highway 101 toward hill views beyond. Existing riparian vegetation is required to be retained as a condition of project approval. Additionally, the spaces receiving the exception will be surfaced with permeable pavers for enhanced appearance and stormwater treatment. The Natural Resources Manager has reviewed the project plans and concurs with staff that the requested exception is an appropriate means of allowing reasonable use of the site, consistent with the intent of Zoning § 17.16.025 (G) (4). 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW An Initial Study is being prepared for the proposed project in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study for the project will be prepared and circulated for public review. The Planning Commission and City Council will review the Initial Study of environmental impact prior to final action on the project. 6.0 REVIEW BY OTHER DEPARTMENTS Project plans were reviewed by the Building & Safety Division, the Fire, Public Works, and Utilities Departments, and by the Natural Resources Manager. Relevant comments from these reviewers have been incorporated into the recommended resolution as conditions of architectural review approval. 7.0 ALTERNATIVES 7.1 Deny the project based on findings of inconsistency with development standards, Community Design Guidelines, or other policy documents. 7.2 Continue the item to a date uncertain with direction to the applicant and staff on pertinent issues to be addressed.

Development, LLC, submitted a request for architectural review of the proposed construction of a two-story commercial building on property located at 1460 Calle Joaquin (Application ARCH-3413-2016); and WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Hearing Room (Room 9) of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on November 6, 2017, to consider the application; and WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and evaluation and recommendations by staff; and WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings 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 recommends to the City Council design approval of the new commercial site and building (application ARCH-3413-2016), based on the following findings: 1. As conditioned, the proposed site and building design are consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. The project will accommodate Tourist-Commercial land uses on an appropriately located site in an urbanized area where such uses have already concentrated, and near a freeway interchange, consistent with Land Use Element (LUE) policies (§3.1.1, §3.12, §3.6.2). 2. As conditioned, the project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Conservation and Open Space Element (COSE) of the City’s General Plan related to Views (§9). The adjacent section of U.S. Highway 101 is designated as a Scenic Roadway with high scenic value consistent with §9.3.5. Visual Simulation Studies have been provided by the applicant, and these demonstrate that development of the proposed building preserves approximately 3/4 of the view toward the Irish Hills, as viewed along the section of highway adjacent the project. The building does not block views or “wall off” the roadway (§9.2.1, §9.3.6). Extensive use of glazing as a building surface provides additional visibility through the building toward hill views beyond. ATTACHMENT 1 ARC1 - 7 Resolution No. ARC ####-17 Page 2 ARCH-3413-2016 (1460 Calle Joaquin) 3. As conditioned, the proposed building is consistent with land use limitations and development standards of the City’s Zoning Regulations. The site and proposed building are designed to accommodate land uses and activities permitted in a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone (§17.22.090). The project conforms to applicable development standards set out in Chapter 17.16 including those for density, yards, coverage, building height, and parking space requirements. 4. As conditioned, the project is consistent with guidance for commercial development provided by the City’s Community Design Guidelines. The building architecture exhibits proper proportion, balanced form, and well-articulated and appropriately detailed elevations, resulting in an attractive and distinctive design, consistent with General Design Principles (Ch. 2). It demonstrates consideration for the architectural style, shape, and massing of neighboring structures, which are modern in style and accommodate auto- and tourist-oriented activities (§3.1(C.1a)). Sensitive building design, and retention of riparian vegetation demonstrates consideration for views and the natural features of the site (§3.1(C.1) & 7.1(B.3)). SECTION 2. Environmental Review. An Initial Study is being prepared for the proposed project in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study for the project will be prepared and circulated for public review. The Planning Commission and City Council will review the Initial Study of environmental impact prior to final action on the project. SECTION 3. Action.
