By consensus, Council directed staff to receive and file the status report and provided the
following direction:
1. Revise the density calculations as discussed for simplification and to continue
encouraging smaller housing units.
2. Allow flexible density downtown by removing density limits from smaller units. This
would also include applying the downtown development standards to the Upper
Monterey corridor (to the trestle) and bring back the corresponding Ordinance Overlay
Zone map as part of this Zoning Regulations Update.
3. Regulate rooftop uses by establishing setbacks, hours, size limits, and other standards to
balance the use and enjoyment of rooftop uses with the privacy of residential settings.
4. Affirm current alcohol outlet practices and the incorporation of conditions of approval as
standards are adequate to address safety concerns downtown.
5. Incorporate an opportunity for tiny homes on wheels as part of the Zoning Regulations
Update.
6. Remove specific barriers to ADU construction frontage improvements. Maintain
owner/occupancy requirements.
7. Consolidate and streamline the review process for more simplicity, as outlined in the
report.
8. Affirm parking requirements should be adjusted to reflect the City of San Luis Obispo's
multi -modal objectives in conjunction with revised and modified parking reduction
standards. These would include reducing the parking requirements to be more consistent
with ITE standards, lowering the level of review for parking reductions, and relying on
project -specific parking studies to determine the proper type and percentage of the
reduction.
Also, to add:
9. Explore changes to zoning to allow schools in more areas, possibly with a CUP.
10. Explore the possibility of including micro -businesses in residential areas to enhance a
sense of community.
