HomeMy WebLinkAbout03-06-2018 Item 09 Zoning and architectural review of commercial bldg. (1460 Calle Joaquin)
Meeting Date: 3/6/2018
FROM: Michael Codron, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Walter Oetzell, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE CITY’S ZONING MAP TO DESIGNATE
PROPERTY AT 1460 CALLE JOAQUIN TO BE WITHIN A TOURIST
COMMERCIAL (C-T) ZONE; CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW TWO-STORY
COMMERCIAL BUILDING; AND AN EXCEPTION TO THE CREEK
SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR SIX (6) UNENCLOSED PARKING SPACES
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council amend the City’s Zoning Map to
designate the subject site to be within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone but had concerns with
the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the project primarily with respect to
aesthetics and recommended that the City Council not adopt the MND on that basis. The
Planning Commission further recommended that the Council not approve the Creek Setback
exception requested for this project.
Staff Recommendation
1. Adopt the attached draft Resolution (Attachment A):
a. as recommended by the Architectural Review Commission, approve the project
architecture and design; and
b. grant a Creek Setback Exception to allow six (6) unenclosed parking spaces within a
portion of the creek setback; and
c. adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (EID-0016-2017).
2. Introduce an Ordinance (Attachment B):
a. as recommended by the Planning Commission, amending the City’s Zoning Map to
designate the site to be within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
As explained in greater detail below, due to some unusual circumstances, a portion of the
property at 1460 Calle Joaquin, east of Prefumo Creek, is designated for Tourist Commercial
land use in the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan but has no current zoning
designation on the City’s zoning map (see Attachment E). AuzCo Development, LLC, the
project applicant, proposes to zone this portion of the property to (C-T) Tourist-Commercial,
consistent with its General Plan designation and adjacent zoning, and to construct a two-story
commercial building. An exception from Creek Setback requirements has been requested that
would allow six (6) vehicle parking spaces within the required 20-foot creek setback along the
west side of the property.

An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared for the project
(Attachment K), evaluating the project’s potentially significant environmental impacts on the
physical environment and identifying mitigation measures that would reduce them to a “less than
significant” level.
On November 13, 2017 the Architectural Review Commission recommended that the City
Council approve the project design, finding the project to be consistent with applicable
development standards and design guidelines.
On December 20, 2017 the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council amend the
Zoning Map, designating the site to be within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone. However, the
Commission recommended that the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) not be
adopted, based on potential significant impacts to aesthetics; specifically, blocking of views of
Irish Hills and the scenic corridor. The Commission further recommended that the Council not
approve the requested Creek Setback exception.
The Planning Commission supported the rezoning but was clearly uncomfortable with the project
concept and concerned about perceived viewshed impacts. Planning staff and the Assistant City
Attorney suggested that the Commission substantiate their recommendations about adoption of
the MND and the creek setback exception with specific information in the form of findings, but
no such findings were adopted. Staff has considered the issue carefully and based on the
information in the project record is recommending that the City Council approve the creek
setback exception and Mitigated Negative Declaration based on findings and facts in the record.
The City Council will take final action on the project, including the proposed Zoning Map
Amendment, building and site improvements, the requested Creek Setback Exception and the
MND prepared for the project. The Staff recommendation to approve the project is reflected in
the Draft Resolution and Draft Ordinance (Attachments A and B) and is more fully explained
below.
DISCUSSION
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. The site’s street frontage is along Calle Joaquin, and
its southeast boundary runs adjacent to the freeway off-ramp right-of-way. A channelized section
of Prefumo Creek exits at a culvert under Calle Joaquin at the west end o f the site and the creek
channel continues south, then southwest, away from the site.
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. 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. Auto- and tourist- oriented activities
Packet Pg 152

characterize the immediate surroundings to the north and west, including an auto dealer, a
service station, offices of the Southern California Automobile Club, a tire store, and a motel,
with hotels and a restaurant located south of Los Osos Valley Road.
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,
installed by the City in 1989, made inactive in 1995, and relinquished in 2016.1 The well
equipment will be relocated within the site.
Table 1: Site information
Background
On November 13, 2017, the Architectural Review Commission, by a 5 -0 vote (with 2 absences)
found the project to be consistent with applicable development standards and design guidelines
(see Attachment G, ARC Minutes and Resolution) and recommended the City Council approve
the project’s design. On December 20, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended, by a 5-1
vote (with 1 vacancy), that the City Council amend the Zoning Map to designate the site to be

within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone, but not adopt the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, based on concerns with aesthetic impacts, specifically, blocking of views of Irish
Hills and the scenic corridor, and further recommended that the Council not approve the
requested Creek Setback exception (see Attachment H; Planning Commission Resolution).
Staff recommendation. Staff carefully evaluated the Planning Commission’s recommendation in
the context of the City’s General Plan policies, Zoning Regulations, and the California
Environmental Quality Act. Staff’s analysis indicates that the requested Creek Setback Exception
is appropriate for development of this constrained site because, as described in the suggested
findings contained in the draft Resolution, the exception is minor, representing about 35% of the
setback area,2 with no structures within the setback and no impacts on scenic or biological
resources, and it allows for reasonable development of a site constrained by unusual shape.
Mitigation Measure BIO-1 (see Biological Resources section below) requires preparation of a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and for Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Pollution
Prevention Methods (PPMs) to be incorporated into grading and construction plans for the short
and long-term management and protection of water quality. Based on the significance criteria
used to evaluate potential impacts to aesthetics, the impacts to views along the Scenic Roadway
portion of Highway 101 near the project are considered to be less than significant, as more fully
described in Views, below. Based on this combination of factors, staff is recommending that the
City Council approve the project.
Land Use & Zoning
The portion of the property at 1460 Calle Joaquin that lies east of Prefumo Creek 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 E). Tourist-Commercial designation, as
described in the Land Use Element (LUE) of the General Plan, provides for uses primarily
serving the traveling public, including hotels, motels, restaurants, service stations, recreational
uses, and minor retail uses serving the needs of travelers. The proposal to zone the property C-T
(Tourist Commercial) is consistent with this land use designation. Zoning Regulations provide
further refinement and expansion of allowed uses (see Attachment J).
These uses are especially appropriate where they have already concentrated, such as at freeway
intersections (LUE Policy 3.6.2). Visitor-serving uses have concentrated in the area where Los
Osos Valley Road intersects U.S. Highway 101, including The Rose Garden Inn, Hampton Inn &
Suites, Courtyard by Marriott, Motel 6, Rib Line BBQ, Margie’s Diner, and Chevron. Though no
specific land use or tenant has been identified, the site and the proposed new building are
designed to accommodate a wide range of potential commercial services for the traveling public.
Views
The site is adjacent to a section of U.S. Highway 101 that is designated in the City’s General
Plan as a Scenic Roadway (General Plan Circulation Element, Figure 3). By definition, “Scenic
Resources” include hills and mountains (see General Plan glossary). The Irish Hills form a visual
backdrop to views near the site experienced from Highway 101 while travelling southbound, and
Cerro San Luis and the Santa Lucia Mountains beyond comprise the backdrop of views
experienced travelling northbound.
2 Uncovered parking spaces will encroach into about 755 sq. ft. of the total 2,180 sq. ft. setback area

The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2014 Land Use & Circulation Element Update
anticipated that new development would occur along viewing corridors and scenic roadways. As
noted in the EIR, the City does not have specific adopted thresholds of significance for
aesthetics, including impacts to views. As evaluated in the EIR, an impact is considered
significant if proposed development would:
▪ have a substantial adverse effect on a visual resource or scenic vista;
▪ damage scenic resources (such as trees, rock outcroppings, historic buildings) within a
state scenic highway,
▪ substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the area and its
surroundings; or
▪ create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area
Visual simulations prepared for this project (see Initial Study, Attachment K) demonstrate that
development of the site will not “wall off” scenic roadways or block views and is consistent with
General Plan policies for Views (Circulation Element § 15.1.2; Conservation and Open Space
Element § 9.2.1). As the observer approaches the project site the building becomes visible above
existing buildings, signage, and utility and light poles, occupying a portion of the field of view,
quickly moving out of view as the observer continues traveling along the roadway. The building
will move through the field of view, visible against the visual backdrop, for a distance of about
600 feet, for about 7 seconds at highway speeds. Impacts to views are lessened by the size (less
than 15% site coverage, where a maximum coverage of 75% is permitted) and height of the
proposed building (27 feet in height, where a maximum of 45 feet is permitted), and extensive
use of glazing to provide additional visibility toward views beyond.
Figure 2 above depicts a typical vantage point from the highway, about 350 feet north of the site,
seen traveling south-bound. It shows that with the proposed development, approximately 3/4
(75%) of the view to the hills is preserved. Figure 3 below depicts a similar vantage point from
the north-bound lanes, showing that as the observer approaches the site, the building occupies an
insignificant portion (less than 10%) of the view toward the distant Santa Lucia Mountains.
Cerro San Luis is visible beyond, and partially obscured by, existing development. The proposed
Figure 2: Visual Simulation (view 2, looking south): Before project (left) and after (right)
Packet Pg 155
9
building obscures an additional small portion of the view of Cerro San Luis, but its height and
tapering form preserves the view of the ridgeline of the Cerro. At this vantage point, at least 3/4
(75%) of the backdrop view is preserved. The full view of Cerro San Luis and Bishop Peak
beyond are revealed within seconds as the observer continues northbound.
In the absence of adopted thresholds of significance for impacts to views, staff followed
guidance provided by performance standards for protection of views from scenic roadways
described in Table 5.4 (Roadway View Protection) of the City’s Airport Area Specific Plan. This
table identifies several roads which are also designated as Scenic Roadways, and located within a
similar scenic context, and provides standards for the level of view protection considered to be
consistent with the view preservation policies of the General Plan. These standards suggest that
views are sufficiently protected where development allows view of at least 60% of a scenic
resource from specific vantage points along roads and preserves distant hill views in the direction
of the road.
Evaluated against these standards, the visual simulations demonstrate that at least 75% of views
from this roadway are retained at the selected vantage points and, consistent with General Plan
policies, views are protected and not “blocked,” with important backdrop features (Irish Hills,
Cerro San Luis, Santa Lucia Mountains) remaining dominant. Thus, the proposed development
would not have a substantial adverse effect on scenic vistas from the roadway. Furthermore, the
project has been found by the Architectural Review Commission to be consistent with
Community Design Guidelines and will not degrade the visual character or quality of the area. It
conforms to Night Sky Preservation Regulations (Zoning Regulations Ch. 17.23) and includes no
source of substantial light or glare. As the project adheres to General P lan policies, Community
Design Guidelines, and Zoning Regulations applicable to aesthetic concerns, its potential
impacts to aesthetics, including views, are considered less than significant.
Biological resources
The project site plan depicts the top of bank for Prefumo Creek, the extent of riparian vegetation,
and the 20-foot creek setback applicable to the property (Zoning § 17.16.025). All riparian
vegetation is noted on plans as “Existing Habitat to Remain Undisturbed.” Condition 2 of the
Draft Resolution (Attachment A) states as a condition of project approval that existing riparian
vegetation within this area shall remain undisturbed.

Packet Pg 156

A Biological Resources Assessment of the project site was prepared in May 2017 by SWCA
Environmental Consultants (see Initial Study, Attachment K). Existing conditions were observed
to be riparian (arroyo willow thicket) and disturbed or ruderal, with disturbance from vehicle and
pedestrian usage. Vegetation consists of non-native plant species that typically occur along
roadside edges and disturbed areas. Plant diversity on the banks of the channel is low. Special-
status plant species were not observed and are not expected to occur on the property.
Several mitigation measures were developed, following the conclusions of the Biological
Assessment, to reduce potential environmental impacts to biological resources. These are
included in the attached draft resolution (Biological Resources, Section 1), to be incorporated
into project approval. These measures include conduct of a pre-construction wildlife survey prior
to development activities; a nesting bird survey prior to any construction activities to be
undertaken during the active nesting bird season; incorporation of the creek setback shown in the
project plans (allowing for six unenclosed vehicle parking spaces within a portion of the setback,
but not extending into riparian vegetation), and installation of Best Management Practices prior
to construction for protection of the riparian area.
Creek Setback Exception
Prefumo Creek travels along the western boundary of the project site. Policies for Creeks,
Wetlands, and Flooding described in the Land Use Element (§ 6.6) call for maintenance of
natural conditions and habitat, prevention of damage from flooding, runoff reduction,
groundwater recharge, minimization of impervious coverage, and adequate erosion control
measures. The portion of the site adjacent to Prefumo Creek is 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 4), but no
structures would be placed within this setback. Encroachment of these six uncovered spaces into
the 20-foot setback ranges from 7 to 20 feet, occupying 35% of the required setback area.
Figure 4: Creek setback (dashed line); shaded area depicts riparian vegetation
Packet Pg 157

Given the constrained developable area of the site, available ground-level floor area would be
reduced by about 900 square feet (from the 1,512 square feet proposed) without the requested
exception. Redesign to achieve a viable project under that constraint would likely 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 that the requested creek setback exception is an appropriate means
of allowing reasonable use of the site, consistent with the intent of Zoning § 17.16.025 (G) (4).
CONCURRENCES
Project plans were reviewed by the Building & Safety Division, the Fire, Public Works, and
Utilities Departments, and by the Natural Resources Manager. Relevant comments have been
incorporated into the draft resolution as recommended conditions of project approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND; Attachment K) has been prepared for the project and
includes Mitigation Measures to reduce potential impacts to air quality, biological resources,
cultural resources, geology and soils, and transportation and traffic, to a “less than significant”
level. It was circulated for public review, with no comments received in response as of the
closing of the review period January 8, 2018. The MND was submitted to the State
Clearinghouse and reviewed by several agencies, with no agencies submitting comments in
response.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the project will allow development of the property for commercial use, which will
incrementally add to the City’s sales tax revenue resulting in a positive fiscal impact. Typically,
commercial projects generate more revenue than they create in terms of demand for city services.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue consideration of the item with direction to applicant and staff regarding pertinent
items.
2. Deny the Zoning Map Amendment based on findings of inconsistency with applicable
General Plan policies. This alternative would preclude development of the property for
Tourist-Commercial uses, and construction of the proposed building and need for a Creek
Setback Exception, based on findings of inconsistency with land use limitations in Zoning
Regulations.
3. Refer the project back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration and for further
development and adoption of more complete and specific findings forming the basis of the

Cultural Resources
r) Mitigation Measure CR-1. Prior to issuance of grading and construction permits, the
following shall be included on all grading and construction plan sets: If, during the
course of constructing and implementing the proposed Project, archaeological,
paleontological, or cultural resources (i.e., prehistoric sites, historic sites, or isolated
artifacts and features) are discovered, the contractor shall halt all ground disturbing
activities immediately within 50 feet of the discovery, the City shall be notified, and a
qualified professional archaeologist, architectural historian, or paleontologist
(depending on the nature of the finding) shall be retained to evaluate the find and
recommend appropriate mitigation measures. The City shall consider mitigation
recommendations presented by the professional, and the City shall consult and agree
upon implementation of feasible and appropriate measures. Such measures may include
avoidance, preservation in place, excavation, documentation, curation, data recovery,
or other appropriate measures. The City shall be required to implement any mitigation
necessary for the protection of archaeological, paleontological, and cultural resources.
s) Mitigation Measure CR-2. Prior to issuance of grading and construction permits, the
following shall be included on all grading and construction plan sets: In the event of

must be notified of the find immediately. If the human remains are determined to be
Native American, the County Coroner will notify the Native American Heritage
Commission within 24 hours, which will determine and notify a Most Lik ely
Descendant (MLD). The City shall allow the MLD to complete an inspection of the
site (typically within 48 hours of notification) and shall comply with MLD
recommendations, which may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis
of human remains and items associated with Native American burials.
t) Monitoring Plan: Measures CR-1 & CR-2. These Mitigation Measures shall be noted

LLC, shall be incorporated into the project to the satisfaction of the Building Official.
v) Monitoring Plan, GEO-1: These recommendations shall be incorporated into, and noted
on, construction plans. The Building Official shall verify compliance.
Transportation and Traffic
w) Mitigation Measure TC-1: Prior to issuance of grading and construction permits, the
applicant shall, to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works:
i) Enter into a covenant agreement with the City to contribute the project's "fair share"
of cost for widening the southbound Calle Joaquin approach to Los Osos Valley
Road and to add an additional turn pocket; and
ii) Contribute its fair share of the Los Osos Valley Road interchange sub-area fees and
Traffic Impact Fees
x) Monitoring Plan, TC-1: The Public Works Director will verify compliance with this
Mitigation Measure prior to issuance of grading and construction permits for this
project.
SECTION 2. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Council makes the following
findings:
a) The project is consistent with policies for Commercial and Industrial Development set
out in the Land Use Element (LUE) of the City’s General Plan. The property is in an
appropriate area (§ 3.1) near a freeway interchange where visitor-servicing uses have
already concentrated (§ 3.6.2). The property is proposed to be designated as within a
Tourist-Commercial (C-T) Zone, which implements and is consistent with the Tourist
Commercial land use category described in the General Plan (LUE Figure 3), providing
accommodations and services for the traveling public.
Packet Pg 165

Resolution No. _____ (2018 Series) Page 7
R _______
b) As conditioned, the project is consistent with policies of the Land Use Element (LUE)
of the General Plan related to Resource Preservation. The site and building design
preserve natural conditions and minimize risks from flooding, consistent with Creeks,
Wetlands, and Flooding Policies (LUE §6.6.1) and policies related to flood control
(LUE §6.6.8, §6.7.1, and §6.7.2). Conditions of project approval address the flood-
proofing measures to be incorporated into the project for compliance with Floodplain
Management Regulations (Zoning Ch. 17.84). A Creek Setback is provided, consistent
with Zoning § 17.16.025. No structure is located within the creek channel (LUE
§6.6.4).
c) The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of those living and
working in the vicinity. Land uses permitted within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone
are compatible with neighboring land uses within adjacent Tourist Commercial (C-T)
and Service Commercial (C-S) Zones, which are also tourist- and auto-oriented in
nature.
Consistent with Safety Element Policy 2.1 (Flood Hazard Avoidance and Reduction),
development of the site is subject to compliance with Floodplain Management
Regulations (Zoning Regulations Ch. 17.84). As provided in §4.2 (Settlement and
Liquefaction), a Soils Engineering Report was prepared for the project by
GeoSolutions, Inc (July, 2017), and implementation of recommendations made in the
report will be verified by the Building & Safety Division prior to issuance of
construction permits for the project.
d) The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Circulation
Element related to Scenic Roadways and those of the Conservation and Open Space
Element (COSE) related to Views. As directed by COSE §9.3.5, Visual Simulation
Studies provided by the applicant demonstrate that the proposed building preserves,
and does not block, views from the adjacent section of U.S. Highway 101, which is
designated as a Scenic Roadway with high scenic value (Figure 3 – Scenic Roadways),
and does not “wall off” the roadway, consistent with Circulation Element § 15.1.2 and
COSE § §9.2.1 and 9.3.6. Conformance to Night Sky Preservation regulations (Zoning
Ch. 17.23) will preserve the quality of the nighttime visual environment (Circulation
Element § 15.1.2 (F)). Extensive use of glazing as a building surface provides
additional visibility through the building toward hill views beyond.
e) As conditioned, the project and proposed amendment to the Zoning Map are consistent
with the policies and limitations of the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport Land
Use Plan and with the provisions of the Airport Overlay Zone (Zoning Regulations
§ 17.57.040). The proposed land use and project design are consistent with the
permitted land use and development standards for the Tourist-Commercial (C T) Zone,
and therefore consistent with airport compatibility policies and criteria intended to
minimize the risk to people and property in the event of an accident or emergency
aircraft landing. No structures are proposed that would affect navigable airspace, or
Packet Pg 166
9
Resolution No. _____ (2018 Series) Page 8
R _______
present other flight hazards, and conditions of approval address overflight notice
requirements (Zoning § 17.57.080).
f) The project is consistent with land use limitations and development standards of the
City’s Zoning Regulations applicable within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone. The
site and proposed building are designed to accommodate land uses and activities
permitted in a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone (§17.22.090) and 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.
g) As conditioned, a creek setback exception, as provided in Zoning Regulations
§17.16.025(G)(4), is appropriate:
i) The requested exception is minor in nature. The features receiving the exception,
six unenclosed parking spaces, include no substantial structures (apart from
permeable paved surface), and will extend between 7 and 20 feet into the standard
20’ creek setback depth, occupying about 35% of its area. Thus, the requested
exception will have no impact to a scenic resource, will not limit flood control
measures, and will not be detrimental to public welfare or injurious to other
property in the area or downstream.
ii) Development of the site is subject to the conduct and preparation of a pre-
construction wildlife survey and nesting bird survey, as required by Mitigation
Measures developed through environmental review of the project to avoid impacts
to riparian habitat.
iii) Mitigation Measures developed through environmental review of the project
require preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and for Best
Management Practices (BMPs) and Pollution Prevention Methods (PPMs) to be
incorporated into grading and construction plans for the short and long-term
management and protection of water quality.
iv) Unusual circumstances apply to the site, arising from its limited area, curving
frontage, and triangular shape, which do not apply generally to land in the vicinity
and in the same Tourist-Commercial (C-T) Zone. These constraints preclude
redesign of the project (through, for example, relocation or reduction in the
number of parking spaces, or reduction in the building footprint area), as redesign
would not allow for a sufficient number of parking spaces or a sufficient amount
of floor area to achieve a viable development project and reasonable use of the
property.
v) The requested exception would not constitute a grant of special privilege, as
property similarly situated, and subject to similar constraints of limited area,
curving frontage, and triangular shape, would receive similar consideration.
SECTION 3. Action. The City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo does hereby
approve the requested creek setback exception for six (6) unenclosed parking spaces within a
portion of the setback area, and approves construction of the project, with incorporation of
Packet Pg 167

Ordinance No. _____ (2018 Series) Page 2
O _________
SECTION 2. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Council makes the following
findings:
a) The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with policies for
Commercial and Industrial Development set out in the Land Use Element (LUE) of the
City’s General Plan. The property is in an appropriate area (§ 3.1) near a freeway
interchange where visitor-servicing uses have already concentrated (§ 3.6.2). The
property is designated for Tourist Commercial land use in the General Plan Land Use
Diagram (LUE Figure 3), and the Tourist-Commercial zone implements and is
consistent with the Tourist Commercial land use category, providing accommodations
and services for the traveling public.
b) The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, and welfare of those living and working in the vicinity. Land uses permitted
within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone are compatible with neighboring land uses
within adjacent Tourist Commercial (C-T) and Service Commercial (C-S) Zones,
which are also tourist- and auto-oriented in nature.
c) The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will not adversely affect the amount of
area within the city set aside for other uses as the property is currently not designated
to be within any Zone, but is within an area designated within the General Plan for
Tourist Commercial uses.
d) The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the policies and
limitations of the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport Land Use Plan and with
the provisions of the Airport Overlay Zone (Zoning Regulations § 17.57.040). The
Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone provides for a range of permitted uses that have been
found to be consistent with airport compatibility policies and criteria intended to
minimize the risk to people and property in the event of an accident or emergency
aircraft landing. Further development of the property is subject to conformance to
policies protecting navigable airspace, avoiding other flight hazards, and providing
adequate overflight notice requirements.
SECTION 3. Action. The City Council does hereby amend the City’s Zoning Map to
designate the subject property as being within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone, as depicted in
Exhibit A of this Ordinance.
SECTION 4. 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
Tribune, a newspaper published and circulated in this City. This ordinance shall go into effect at
the expiration of thirty (30) days after its final passage.
INTRODUCED on the 6th day of March 2018, AND FINALLY ADOPTED by the

Minutes – Architectural Review Commission Meeting of November 13, 2017 Page 6
Building at 581 Higuera Street:
Revise the two-story windows in the structure so that they are more in scale with the
structure and downtown architecture.
Address height and scale by setting back the entire fourth floor of the structure and
consider other modifications to reduce the massing towards the Jack House property.
Vines covering the building are not necessary. Vines are most appropriate on the first-floor

ACTION: MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MALAK, SECOND BY VICE CHAIR FOWLER,
based on the record and the testimony presented, including the visual simulations, the PC hereby
recommends that the City Council amend the Zoning Map to designate the subject property as
being within a Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zone, consistent with its General Plan designation, but
not adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration, based on potential significant environmental
impacts to aesthetics, specifically, blocking of views of Irish Hills and the scenic corridor, and
further recommends that the City Council not approve the creek exception. Motion passed 5-1-0
on the following roll call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS DANDEKAR, MALAK, OSTEBUR, VICE-CHAIR

BUSINESS ITEM
5. Zoning Regulations Update. The Zoning Regulations Update is focused on implementing
the policies and programs of the Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE). This will be a
standing item on the Planning Commission agenda from June 14, 2017 through completion of
the Update of the Zoning Regulations, tentatively scheduled for completion in March
2018. This will be an opportunity for staff to update the Commission on the status of the
Zoning Regulations Update and for the Commission to listen to ongoing public testimony and
discuss any such updates as they come forward. As a standing item, sometimes there will be
nothing to report; other times staff will give a brief update with limited discussion; and at
certain points, such as review of the Land Use Table, Parking Requirements, and the
Reformatted Outline, there will be more substantive discussion on the item. When materials
are associated with the Update, as with the White Papers associated with the Update, such
information will be made available to the public and Commission prior to the meeting.
Specific Items for Consideration are:
1. Draft White Paper: Case Studies in Local Adult-Use and Medical Marijuana
Regulations
2. Alcohol Outlet Regulations Effectiveness Update (to inform implementation of Land
Use Element 4.32)
Deputy Community Development Director Doug Davidson, and Associate Planner Kyle Bell,
presented the staff report and responded to Commission inquiries.
