(Doug Davidson/Kyle Bell)
In conjunction with the review and recommendation on the City-wide Zoning Regulations, the
Planning Commission will consider three ordinances affecting specific properties:
Ordinance 1130
As part of the Zoning Regulations Update, the City is implementing Land Use and Circulation
Element Program 8.3 to “review and update Ordinance 1130 and involve residents to ensure that
neighborhood concerns are addressed.” Ordinance 1130 applies to the Commercial Tourist zone
with the “S” Overlay on Upper Monterey Street. The Planning Commission will consider
revisions to the text of Ordinance 1130; no changes to the Zoning Map are being considered.;
Project Location: Southwest side (odd numbered lots) of the 1600 block through 2100 block
of Monterey Street. Case #: CODE-1630-2018; City of San Luis Obispo Community
Development Department, Applicant.
North Broad Street
The Planning Commission initiated a Zoning Map change in review of the Subdivision
application MS 32-14 in September of 2015. As part of the Zoning Regulations Update, the City
is now incorporating this direction onto the Zoning Map. The proposed change is to add an “S”
(Special Considerations) Overlay Zone onto the property to respect the natural resources on the
property, including the wildlife corridor and creek.; Project Address: 141, 159, & 161 Broad,
and Bressi Place. Case #: RZ-1629-2018; City of San Luis Obispo Community Development
Department, Applicant.
Upper Monterey Area – Santa Rosa to Pepper St.
As part of the Zoning Regulations Update, the City is considering placing a Downtown Overlay
Zone onto these properties which could allow for the Downtown Commercial development
standards (height, floor area ratio, and parking) to be applied in future developments with
approval from the Planning Commission. The area where the Downtown standards could apply is
the Upper Monterey extension of the Downtown core from Santa Rosa to Pepper Street and
including a portion of Higuera Street north of Higuera.; Project Location: C-R zoned
properties west of Santa Rosa Street, east of Pepper Street, between Marsh Street and
Palm Street (excluding 1210 Higuera and 1306 Higuera). Case #: RZ-1628-2018; City of
