SUMMARY
The project applicant, Andy Fuller, is proposing to demolish existing non-historic structures and
construct a new one to three-story mixed-use development with commercial/office uses along
Orcutt Road (6,800 sq. ft.), and a residential structure consisting of seventy-eight (78) residential
units with a two-story amenity structure (4,000 sq. ft.), located at the corner of Duncan Lane &
Orcutt Road, within the Manufacturing (M) zone. The project also includes three four-story
mechanical parking lifts that border the property line adjacent to the Railroad. The ARC previously
continued the project on August 6, 2018 and provided directional items for the applicant to work
with staff to revise the project to address specific concerns.
The project was subject to a Planning Commission (PC) Use Permit for a mixed-use development
within the Manufacturing (M) zone, which was approved with direction to the applicant and staff to
work with the ARC to address concerns, as detailed in the previous ARC staff report.

3.0 BACKGROUND
The project was reviewed by the PC on April 11, 2018 and was continued to a date uncertain
(Attachment 2, PC Staff Report & Meeting Minutes 4.11.18). The PC provided direction to the
applicant to work with staff to redesign the project to address specific concerns.
On July 11, 2018 the applicant presented the changes in response to PC direction (Attachment 3, PC
Staff Report & Meeting Minutes 7.11.18), where the PC approved the use permit and provided
direction to the applicant and staff to work with the ARC to address specific concerns (Attachment
4, PC Draft Resolution)
On August 6, 2018, the ARC reviewed the applicant’s responses to the PC directional items and
continued the project to a date uncertain (Attachment 5, ARC Staff Report & Meeting Minutes
8.6.18). The ARC provided direction to the applicant and staff to address specific concerns
including the following;
Packet Page 83
1. Project plans should indicate the type of bike lane proposed along Orcutt Road and
demonstrate the connection to the railroad bike trail.
2. Project plans should be revised to include an additional vehicle loading zone along the south
entrance.
3. Consider adding signage or other type of mural along the side elevation of the parking lift
structure, as viewed from the railroad.
4. Landscape plans should be revised to include planting within the 3-foot setback between the
parking lift structures and property line to address the aesthetic appearance of the structures
as seen from the railroad. The landscaping plan should consider dense vegetation along the
base of the parking lift structures and consider replacing project trees with evergreen trees.
5. Consider additional color variation between materials for the upper portions of the parking
lift structures.
6. Provide additional contrast between the colors of the commercial buildings including the
roofs. The colors and materials board shall be updated to reflect all modified colors or
materials.
7. Consider providing a play structure for younger families within the courtyard.
8. Project plans should identify mechanical equipment for each structure and demonstrate
compliance with screening requirements as identified in the Community Design Guidelines.
4.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS
The proposed improvements must conform to the standards and limitations of the Zoning
Regulations and Engineering Standards and be consistent with the applicable CDG. Staff has
evaluated the project and identified discussion items for the ARC to consider in order to ensure the
project responds to PC direction and is in substantial compliance with the CDG, as discussed in this
analysis.
Architectural Review Commission Directional Items
The ARC recommended eight directional items to be reviewed and evaluated prior to taking final
action on the project. The applicant has made the following changes in response to the directional
items (Attachment 6, Applicant’s Response Letter):
Directional Item #1: Project plans should indicate the type of bike lane proposed along Orcutt
Road and demonstrate the connection to the railroad bike trail.
Response: The applicant has revised the project to delineate the bicycle routes (see sheet A2.1 of the
project plans). The City’s 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan proposes a Class I bicycle path as
appropriate along the Orcutt Road frontage (Class I - provides a completely separated right-of-way
for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians). Condition No. 22 has been provided to require
the applicant to provide a Class I Bicycle Path consistent with the City’s Bicycle Transportation
Plan and bikeway design standards.
Directional Item #2: Project plans should be revised to include an additional vehicle loading zone
along the south entrance.
Packet Page 84
Response: The applicant has revised the project to include a loading only parking space in close
proximity to the south entrance of the residential development. The applicant provided an additional
parking space on the north end of the property so that the total required parking was not reduced.
Directional Item #3: Consider adding signage or other type of mural along the side elevation of the
parking lift structure, as viewed from the railroad.
Response: The applicant has designed the project to provide space along the parking lift structure
side elevations for a mural opportunity (see sheet A2.4 of the project plans). The project plans do
not provide a design of a mural as murals may be considered public art and subject to a separate
review process. The Planning Commission Use Permit includes a condition requiring public art as
part of the project rather than paying the in-lieu fee.
Directional Item #4: Landscape plans should be revised to include planting within the 3-foot
setback between the parking lift structures and property line to address the aesthetic appearance of
the structures as seen from the railroad. The landscaping plan should consider dense vegetation
along the base of the parking lift structures and consider replacing project trees with evergreen
trees.
Response: The project has been revised
to provide three feet between the
mechanical parking lift structures and the
property line (see sheet L-1 of the project
plans). The additional space provides
opportunity for landscaping designed to
enhance the aesthetic appearance of the
structures as seen from the railroad, see
Figure 1.
Directional Item #5: Consider additional color variation between materials for the upper portions
of the parking lift structures.
Response: At the previous ARC hearing
on August 6, 2018 the applicant presented
revised elevations to the parking lift
structures, this directional item is in
response to the applicant’s presentation at
the hearing. The color of the upper
portion of the structures have been
lightened to provide contrast between the
main body and the upper portion of the
structure, see Figures 1 & 2.
Directional Item #6: Provide additional contrast between the colors of the commercial buildings
including the roofs. The colors and materials board shall be updated to reflect all modified colors
or materials.
Figure 1: Mechanical Parking Lift Structure as viewed
from the Railroad.
Figure 2: Mechanical Parking Lift Structure as viewed
from the project site.
Packet Page 85
Response: The colors and materials board has been updated to reflect the proposed colors of the
metal roof and corrugated siding of the commercial structures. The project has been revised to
include variation between the color of the roofs and the structures (see sheets A5.0 & A6.0 of the
project plans).
Directional Item #7: Consider providing a play structure for younger families within the courtyard.
Response: The applicant has designed the project to include an oversized chessboard within the
courtyard area; the applicant conveyed concern regarding the applicability of a play structure for the
project given the large percentage of studios and one-bedroom apartments. The proposed
chessboard may provide activity for both children and adults within the project site (see sheets A2.1
& L-1 of the project plans).
Directional Item #8: Project plans should identify mechanical equipment for each structure and
demonstrate compliance with screening requirements as identified in the Community Design
Guidelines.
Response: The commercial and residential structures have been designed with recessed wells to
ensure mechanical equipment will be screened from view. Condition No. 8 has been provided to
ensure all mechanical and other types of equipment will be adequately screened from views on and
off site.
5.0 CONCLUSION
In summary, the applicant has responded to the ARC directional items and the revised project
design complies with building setbacks, parking, lot coverage, density, and building height
requirements consistent with the Zoning Regulations and Community Design Guidelines. The
project’s architectural style is designed to complement the service commercial and industrial theme
of the neighborhood. The design utilizes vertical and horizontal wall articulation, offsets, and
recessed windows to relieve the form and mass of the building. All elevations are visually
interesting and receive interesting architectural treatments that enhance views of the structures from
all views on and off site. The project is located in a part of the community that is more auto-oriented
in character, however the site layout orients the commercial uses along Orcutt Road and provides
landscaped setbacks between the buildings and the street with pedestrian connections to the public
sidewalk along each street frontage.
6.0 ALTERNATIVES
6.1 Continue the project. An action continuing the application should include direction to the
applicant and staff on pertinent issues
6.2 Deny the project. An action denying the application should include findings that cite the
basis for denial and should reference inconsistency with the General Plan, CDG, Zoning
Regulations or other policy documents.

3.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS
The proposed project must conform to the standards and limitations of the Zoning Regulations and
Engineering Standards. Staff has evaluated the project against relevant standards and guidelines and
found it to be in substantial compliance, as discussed in this analysis.
Consistency with the General Plan
The Housing and Land Use Elements encourage mixed-use projects where they can be found to be
compatible with existing and potential future development. The project is consistent with Housing
Element Program 6.15, which identifies the subject site as an area for higher-density, infill or mixed-use
housing (refer to Attachment 2, Housing Element Map)1. The Land Use Element encourages compatible
mixed uses in commercial districts (LUE Policy 3.8.5) and specifically discusses residential and
commercial mixed use (LUE Policy 2.3.6)2.
Consistency with the Zoning Regulations
In accordance with the Table 9 of the Zoning Regulations, mixed-use projects require a PC Use Permit
to be constructed within the M-zone. Mixed-use projects require that the PC make specific findings
regarding General Plan, neighborhood compatibility, findings for health, safety and welfare, and findings
that the mix of uses provides greater benefits such as proximity to work places, affordable housing, and
trip reduction.
Mixed-Use Development: The Zoning Regulations 17.08.72 Mixed Use Projects provide standards for
the design of mixed-use projects to consider potential impacts on adjacent properties and designed to be
compatible with the adjacent and surrounding residential neighborhoods. Mixed-use projects must be
designed to achieve specific objectives including design criteria, site layout, and performance standards.
The project has been designed with the physical separation between the residential and nonresidential
uses and associated activity areas by a drive aisle across the site, ensuring that the residential units are
of a residential character and provide privacy between the uses, while maintaining internal compatibility
between the different uses by integrating pedestrian connectivity with the commercial areas. The project
design incorporates specific design features to minimize potential impacts to and from adjacent
properties by orienting sensitive uses away from the primary street frontage, while providing enclosed
parking lifts along the property line adjacent to the railroad, effectively buffering potential impacts such
as odors, glare, and transportation-related noise associated with the Orcutt Road and the railroad. The
vicinity is developed with low-intensity commercial service uses and is conducive to a mixed-use project
with high-density residential development directly across Orcutt Road. The project’s proposed common
area is located internal to the project, and no shared residential outdoor areas are proposed along the
southern or eastern property boundaries; therefore, the site design would minimize potential adverse
impacts from nonresidential project noise.
1 Housing Element Policy 6.15. Consider General Plan amendments to rezone commercial, manufacturing or public facility
zoned areas for higher-density, infill or mixed-use housing where land development patterns are suitable and where
impact to Low-Density Residential areas is minimal. For example, areas to be considered for possible rezoning include,
but are not limited to… (A) portions of South Broad Street Corridor and Little Italy area.
2 Land Use Element Policy 2.3.6. The City shall encourage mixed use projects, where appropriate and compatible with
existing and planned development on the site and with adjacent and nearby properties. The City shall support the location
of mixed use projects and community and neighborhood commercial centers near major activity nodes and
transportation corridors / transit opportunities where appropriate.
Packet Page 96
Attachment 2
The project design complies with building setbacks, lot coverage, density, and building height
requirements for the M-zone (see Section 2.0 Project Statistics). The project meets site layout standards
for mixed-use projects by locating the residential units behind the commercial portion of the project and
with no residential units on the ground floor within 50 feet of Duncan Lane. Based on the size of the
proposed commercial floor area (6,800 square feet) no off-street loading areas are required. Trash corrals
are proposed along the common drive, in areas convenient for both the commercial and residential uses.
The project will be reviewed by the ARC pending the land use determination by PC, ensuring the
building design is compatible with adjacent structures and the surrounding neighborhood in terms of
architectural style, color, exterior materials, roof styles, landscaping, and signage.
Mix of Uses: Where a mixed-use project is proposed with a use required by Section 17.22.010 to have
Use Permit approval in the applicable zoning district, the entire mixed-use project shall be subject to that
permit requirement. Aside from the PC Use Permit requirement, Table 9 of the Zoning Regulations
identifies uses that may be allowed or conditionally allowed within the M-zone. The applicant has
included the request with the associated mixed-use project to include the conditional allowance of a
restaurant and Office-Professional land uses, as well as the continued allowance of the brewery. The
project also includes the request for the allowance of Personal Service land uses, however these uses are
currently prohibited within the M-zone, in accordance with Table 9. There is no mechanism within the
regulations to allow this type of use associated with this use permit request. Staff recommends Condition
No. 10 conditioning the project to be consistent with land uses allowed or conditionally allowed within
the M-zone.
The property was previously approved for a restaurant use (Administrative Use Permit, A 74-12),
although the restaurant use permit was never realized and has since expired. The request to provide a
restaurant use associated with this application is consistent with the findings of the previous use permit,
which have been incorporated into this application, and the use is compatible and complementary to the
mixed-use development and neighboring land uses.
The property was also approved for a brewery with live entertainment, to take the place to the restaurant
use, (Administrative Use Permit, A 27-13), the brewery use permit is still active (Bang the Drum
Brewing). The brewery use permit will remain active, consistent with expiration timeframes identified
in the Zoning Regulations Section 17.58.030. At the time of review of tenant improvements, the
Community Development Director will determine consistency with the active use permit or identify
whether a modification to with the use permit will be necessary.
The Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.22 Table 9 stipulate that Office uses within the M-zone require an
Administrative Use Permit identifying specific findings in order to determine compatibility with existing
and allowed land uses in the area3. The required findings have been incorporated into the draft resolution
3 Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.22 Note 4. C-S and M-zones – Required findings for offices. The approval of an office
facility in the C-S or M-zone shall require that the review authority first find that: (a) The project will be compatible
with existing and allowed land uses in the area; (b) The project location or access arrangements w ill not significantly
direct traffic to use local or collector streets in residential zones; (c) The project will provide adequate mitigation to
address potential impacts related to noise, light and glare, and loss of privacy, among others, imposed by comm ercial

Attachment 2
as part of this project. Staff recommends Condition No. 6 limiting the Office-Professional use to one
suite within the project site as part of this project, in order to allow for a variety of uses that may
complement the residential component of the project.
Hours of Operation: The applicants proposal includes a request to adjust hours of operation for
commercial uses associated with the mixed-use project, between the hours of 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, where
8:00 AM to 6:00 PM is normally allowed4. The Noise Element of the General Plan sets noise exposure
standards for noise-sensitive land uses, and performance standards for new commercial and industrial
uses. Residences are considered a noise-sensitive land use and have specific thresholds for exposure. For
reference, the maximum hourly noise exposure for a residence is 50 decibels between the hours of 7:00
AM and 10:00 PM (day) and 45 decibels from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM (night). In order to ensure that the
commercial uses will not negatively impact the residential uses within and nearby the project site, staff
recommends Condition No. 5 limiting the hours of operation for all commercial activity from 7:00 AM
to 10:00 PM, as opposed to the proposed 11:00 PM. Once specific businesses have been established, a
separate application may be reviewed to adjust the hours for specific businesses outside the limitations
of this use permit. Allowing hours of operation to extend until 10:00 PM, is consistent with the Noise
Element of the General Plan and the City’s Noise Ordinance, both of which require lower noise levels
starting at 10:00 PM daily.
Noise: The project site is in close proximity to noise sources including the Union Pacific Railroad, Orcutt
Road, and the San Luis Obispo County Airport. Staff recommends Condition No. 11 to ensure that the
design of proposed structures will incorporate site planning measures and noise attenuating construction
techniques that reduce noise exposure to acceptable levels. Exposure in outdoor activity areas must not
exceed 60 decibels and indoor exposure must not exceed 45 decibels.
Airport Safety Zones: The project site is located within the Airport Safety Zone S-2 as identified in the
San Luis Obispo County Airport Land Use Plan. Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.57 Airport Overlay
Zone (AOZ) ensure that land uses and development within the City limits are compatible with existing
and future airport operations. The proposed mixed-use project and all associated uses are consistent with
the development standards and uses of the underlining zone within the S-2 Safety Zone, in accordance
with Zoning Regulations Table 10 – AOZ Maximum Allowed Persons.
Affordable Housing: The Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.91 outline the applicably and general standards
for providing inclusionary housing which is intended to implement General Plan policies guiding land
use and housing development. The commercial portion of the project requires two affordable units per
acre, resulting in a requirement of four affordable dwelling units. The General Plan Housing Element
Table 2A identifies that the project density of 23.88 Density Units per acre with an average unit size of
572 square feet provides an adjustment factor of zero, meaning that no affordable housing units are
activities on nearby residential areas, by using methods such as setbacks, landscaping, berming and fencing; (d) The
project will not preclude industrial or service commercial uses in areas especially suited for these uses when compared
with offices; and (e) The project will not create a shortage of C-S- or M-zoned land available for service commercial or
industrial development.
4 Zoning Regulations Section 17.08.072.E(3). Hours of Operation. A mixed-use project proposing a commercial component
that will operate outside of the hours from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. shall require the Director's approval to ensure that the
commercial use will not negatively impact the residential uses within the project.
Packet Page 98
Attachment 2
required for the residential or commercial development. However, as identified in footnote 2 of Table
2A, at least one affordable unit is required for the project. The applicant has incorporated one moderate
income studio apartment within the residential portion of the project to comply with this requirement.
Parking & Parking Lifts: The project requires 156 vehicle parking spaces. The applicant is requesting a
27% parking reduction, resulting in the provision of 114 vehicle parking spaces onsite. The project
qualifies for a shared parking reduction of 10% because the project includes two or more land uses that
share common parking areas5, parking is adequate for the proposed project and all uses on-site6.
Condition No. 18 includes a requirement that the property owner must submit a running total of the site’s
parking requirements with the submittal of any building permit for tenant improvements, and/or each
business license. The project qualifies for bicycle parking reduction of 7% due to the 60 additional
bicycle parking spaces provided, resulting in a reduction of one parking space per five additional bicycle
parking spaces provided (12 vehicle spaces). The bicycle parking reduction helps implement the City’s
multi-modal shift of the Circulation Element to 20% bicycle trips within the City.
The project also includes a Trip Reduction Plan to reduce the parking by an additional 10% by outlining
the measures that will be implemented in an effort to reduce the number of vehicle trips generated by
residents and other uses within the project site7 (Attachment 3, Trip Reduction Plan). The plan provides
an explanation of methods offered for the site such as; Trip Reduction Coordinator, Community
Transportation Board, shared automobiles, bicycle repair station, new neighborhood packets providing
information for site amenities and proximity to alternative modes of transportation within walking or
biking distances of the site.

6 Zoning Regulations Sections 17.16.060K.3. Where there has been a reduction in required parking, all resulting spaces
must be available for common use and not exclusively assigned to any individual use. In mixed use projects, required
residential parking may be reserved, but commercial parking must be made available for guests or overflow from
residences.
7 Zoning Regulations Sections 17.16.060E. By approving an administrative use permit, the Director may reduce the parking
requirement for projects implementing non-auto travel, particularly for commuting, when it can be demonstrated that
reduction of on-site parking will be safe, and will not be detrimental to the surrounding area or cause a decline in quality
of life. The applicant shall provide reasonable justification for the reduction, including innovative project design,
transportation demand management (tdm), or incentives, which will reduce single-occupant vehicle travel to and from
the site.
Packet Page 99
Attachment 2
The applicant is also requesting to incorporate mechanical parking lifts as part of the project, as proposed,
each of the three lifts parks 28 vehicles resulting in 84 parking spaces. The dimensions of the system
allow for a large variety of car models as listed within the Project Plans, Sheet A7.1 (Attachment 4).
Vehicles which do not fit into the lift system, have the ability to park in the regular parking stalls provided
in the surface parking lot (30 spaces). The Zoning Regulations stipulate that an Administrative Use
Permit (elevated to the Planning Commission in this case) is required for mechanical parking lifts in
commercial zones with required findings ensuring superior design and implementation of City goals and
policies for infill development. The project complies with the required findings as incorporated into the
draft resolution of this project. Staff recommends Condition No. 14, requiring review by the ARC to
ensure compliance with the Community Design Guidelines for compatibility with the building and site
design.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is categorically exempt under Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects; Section 15332 of the
State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, because the project is consistent with
General Plan policies for the land use designation and is consistent with the applicable zoning
designation and regulations. The project site occurs on a property of no more than five acres substantially
surrounded by urban uses that has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species and is
served by required utilities and public services. The project has been reviewed by the City Public Works
Department, Transportation Division, and no significant traffic impacts were identified, based on the
size and location of the project.
5.0 OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
Staff comments provided during review of the proposed project are incorporated into the presented
evaluation and conditions of approval. Additional conditions will be provided in the architectural review
report regarding public improvement requirements, utility connections, and other site features.
6.0 ALTERNATIVES
6.1 Continue the item. An action to continue the item should include a detailed list of additional
information or analysis required.
6.2 Deny the item. Deny the project based on findings of inconsistency with the Zoning
Regulations and/or other pertinent City standards. This alternative is not recommended,
because the project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Regulations, and further
evaluation could be accommodated in the review process.

Attachment 3
4.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission recommended seven directional items to be reviewed and evaluated prior to
taking final action on the project. The applicant has made the following changes in response to the
directional items (Attachment 4, Applicant’s Response Letter):
Directional Item #1: Re-consider the parking reduction and/or redesign the project to require fewer
parking spaces.
Response: The applicant has redesigned the project to provide 25 additional vehicle parking spaces
within the project by adding an additional floor to the parking lifts. The parking reduction has been
revised from the previous 27% reduction to a 10% reduction. The parking reduction request includes a
7% bicycle parking reduction by providing 60 additional bicycle parking spaces for the project to reduce
the requirement by 12 vehicle spaces, and a 3% shared parking reduction for the shared parking spaces
between all uses to reduce the requirement further by 5 vehicle spaces. The project also includes the Trip
Reduction Plan outlining the measures that will be implemented in an effort to reduce the number of
vehicle trips generated by residents and other uses within the project site (Attachment 5, Trip Reduction
Plan). The Zoning Regulations stipulate that mechanical parking lifts may be used to satisfy all or a
portion of vehicle parking requirements. The project qualifies for the shared parking reduction of 3%
because the project includes two or more land uses that share common parking areas and parking is
adequate for the proposed project and all uses on-site1.
Directional Item #2: Provide a noise study due to proximity to the railroad and Orcutt Road as this
could affect the design of the project. If units provide a balcony, they should be designed to address
noise.
Response: A noise study has been prepared by 45db Acoustics dated May 3, 2018. The study concludes
that the parking lift garages and commercial buildings along Orcutt Road work effectively to reduce the
noise levels at the residential building and decks to acceptable levels, no specific mitigation is required
(Attachment 6, Noise Study). The noise study considered the following factors;
• The topographical relationship of potential amplified music sources and the nearby potential
sensitive receptors
• Identification of noise sources and their characteristics, including predicted noise spectra and
sound levels at the exterior of the proposed dwelling, considering present and future land usage
and terrain
• Basis for the sound level prediction (i.e., acoustically modeled from published data), noise
attenuation measures to be applied, and an analysis of the noise propagation considering the
physical layout of built environment
• Analysis of the noise insulation effectiveness of the proposed construction showing that the
prescribed interior noise level requirements are met.
• Information on fundamentals of noise and vibration to aid in interpreting the report
1 Zoning Regulations Sections 17.16.060K.3. Where there has been a reduction in required parking, all resulting spaces
must be available for common use and not exclusively assigned to any individual use. In mixed use projects, required
residential parking may be reserved, but commercial parking must be made available for guests or overflow from
residences.
Packet Page 108
Attachment 3
Directional Item #3: Address concerns regarding hydrocarbons from idling trains in proximity to the
project.
Response: The subject property is located over a mile away from the closest site where idling trains are
permitted. In addition, the City has installed compressed air stations at locations where trains are
permitted to idle to encourage the operators to shut off their engines and instead charge their brakes with
compresses air. The applicant has also addressed how hydrocarbons from passing trains will be further
reduced by the increases in height of the parking lift structures that line the train tracks and the level of
hydrocarbons would be reduced at the face of the residential building.
Directional Item #4: Consider wrapping the corner
building along Duncan to conceal views of the parking
lot.
Response: The applicant has provided a punched
concrete screen wall along Duncan Lane designed to
conceal views of the parking lot. This change required
the elimination of a surface parking space (relocated in
the parking lifts). The wall adds visual interest and is
clearly articulated as an entry feature, effectively
screening the parking lot from the intersection.
Directional Item #5: Consider land use compatibility, as this is primarily a residential project in a
manufacturing zone.
Response: The project site is located within a Service and Manufacturing District; however, only one
light-manufacturing use exist within the immediate vicinity. The property directly to the west, located
within the Service Commercial (C-S) zone, was developed and designed as an office/warehousing
development consisting primarily of office and warehousing uses. In 1988 an Administrative Use Permit
was approved for a light-manufacturing use to occupy Suite B within the facility (heavy-manufacturing
uses are prohibited within the C-S zone). The use, now occupied by Jennings Aeronautics, Inc., is fully
contained within the building envelope, no light-manufacturing activities are permitted outside of the
structure.
Duncan Lane is a cul-de-sac providing access to a personal storage facility, Mission Storage Centers,
and a storage yard owned by the railroad (currently vacant). The proposed mixed-use project provides a
transition from the existing Service & Manufacturing District (consisting of predominantly storage and
office uses) to the High Residential District located directly across Orcutt Road. The General Plan
Housing Element recognizes the site and the immediate neighborhood as appropriate for housing and it
is anticipated that future development within the vicinity will likely consist of residential or mixed-use
development. Future development of manufacturing uses within the vicinity require use permit approval
and concerns related to impacts from noise and odor would be addressed through use permit conditions
to ensure compatibility with nearby residential uses. Therefore, the proposed project is compatible with
the existing and potential future development within the neighborhood.
Packet Page 109
Attachment 3
Directional Item #6: Consider the project design along the Historic Railroad District and incorporate
design elements or features in acknowledgement of the historic district.
Response: The applicant has incorporated a monument sign along Orcutt Road near the train tracks
designed to welcome visitors to the Historic Railroad District. The ARC will evaluate the design of the
sign and the project in consideration of the Historic Railroad District, Community Design Guidelines
and Sign Regulations.
Directional Item #7: Consider rezoning the property and surrounding area.
Response: The applicant has submitted an application for a mixed-use project within the M-zone. The
Zoning Regulations provide the ability to develop mixed-use projects within the M-zone subject to
development standards without requiring rezoning of the property. Mixed-use projects require that the
Planning Commission make specific findings regarding General Plan, neighborhood compatibility,
findings for health, safety and welfare, and findings that the mix of uses provides greater benefits such
as proximity to work places, affordable housing, and trip reduction.
The General Plan Housing Element Program 6.15 identifies the site to be considered for possible
rezoning, in order to accommodate higher-density, infill or mixed-use housing (Attachment 7, Housing
Element Map). Rezoning the property is not required or necessary to provide higher-density housing as
density allowances for the M-zone and the High-Density Residential (R-4) zone are the same (24 density
units/acre). The Housing and Land Use Elements encourage mixed-use projects where they can be found
to be compatible with existing and potential future development. The Land Use Element encourages
compatible mixed uses in commercial districts (LUE Policy 3.8.5) and specifically discusses residential
and commercial mixed use (LUE Policy 2.3.6)2.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the applicant has responded to the PC directional items and the revised project design
complies with building setbacks, lot coverage, density, and building height requirements for the M-zone
(Attachment 8, Revised Project Plans). The project meets site layout standards for mixed-use projects
by locating the residential units behind the commercial portion of the project. The project design
incorporates specific design features to minimize potential impacts to and from adjacent properties by
orienting sensitive uses away from the primary street frontage, while providing enclosed parking lifts
along the property line adjacent to the railroad, effectively buffering potential impacts such as odors,
glare, and transportation-related noise associated with the Orcutt Road and the railroad.
The project will be reviewed by the ARC pending the land use determination by PC, ensuring the
building design is compatible with adjacent structures and the surrounding neighborhood in terms of
architectural style, color, exterior materials, roof styles, landscaping, and signage.
2 Land Use Element Policy 2.3.6. The City shall encourage mixed use projects, where appropriate and compatible with
existing and planned development on the site and with adjacent and nearby properties. The City shall support the location
of mixed use projects and community and neighborhood commercial centers near major activity nodes and
transportation corridors / transit opportunities where appropriate.

Attachment 3
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is categorically exempt under Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects; Section 15332 of the
State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, because the project is consistent with
General Plan policies for the land use designation and is consistent with the applicable zoning
designation and regulations. The project site occurs on a property of no more than five acres substantially
surrounded by urban uses that has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species and is
served by required utilities and public services. The project has been reviewed by the City Public Works
Department, Transportation Division, and no significant traffic impacts were identified, based on the
size and location of the project.
6.0 OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
Staff comments provided during review of the proposed project are incorporated into the presented
evaluation and conditions of approval. Additional conditions will be provided in the architectural review
report regarding public improvement requirements, utility connections, and other site features.
7.0 ALTERNATIVES
7.1 Continue the item. An action to continue the item should include a detailed list of additional
information or analysis required.
7.2 Deny the item. Deny the project based on findings of inconsistency with the Zoning
Regulations and/or other pertinent City standards. This alternative is not recommended,
because the project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Regulations, and further
evaluation could be accommodated in the review process.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public
hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on
April 11, 2018, continued the project to a date uncertain and provided directional items to the

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public
hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on
July 11, 2018, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under USE-1197-2017, Andrew Fuller,
applicant; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has duly considered all evidence, including the
testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the 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 Planning Commission of the City of
San Luis Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings in support of the project approval that includes a mixed use (residential and
commercial) project within a Manufacturing zone consisting of specific land uses, adjusted hours
of operation, vehicle parking reductions, and mechanical parking lifts:
1. As conditioned, the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed project will
not, in the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity of the proposed use, or
detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the
general welfare of the City. DRAFTPacket Page 118
Attachment 4
2. As conditioned, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element
for this location since the project proposes to construct a mixed-use building that includes
convenience restaurants, office professional, and residential uses that can be utilized for
such uses envisioned by the Services and Manufacturing District.
3. The project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy 2.3.6 “Housing and Businesses”
and 3.8.5 (Mixed Uses) because the project provides residential dwellings within a
commercial district near neighborhood commercial centers, major activity nodes and
transit opportunities. Housing at this location is and can be compatible with the proposed
and existing commercial uses on-site and on adjacent properties.
4. The project is consistent with Housing Element because the project provides a variety of
residential types, sizes, and style of dwellings. Housing Element Program 6.15 identifies
the project site within the South Broad Street corridor (which includes properties along
Orcutt Road) as an area for higher-density, infill, or mixed-use housing.
5. The project is consistent with the Conservation and Open Space Element policy 4.4.3
because the project promotes higher-density, compact housing to achieve more efficient
use of public facilities and services and to improve the jobs/housing balance.
Mixed Use Project Findings
6. The project complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Regulations as described
within the property development standards for the Manufacturing zone.
7. The site is adequate for the project in terms of size, configuration, topography, and other
applicable features, and has appropriate access to public streets with adequate capacity to
accommodate the quantity and type of traffic expected to be generated by the use.
8. The proposed commercial tenant space is located close to Orcutt Road and is designed to
accommodate small commercial uses; therefore, substantial conflicts between the
residential and commercial use are not anticipated.
9. The project’s mixed uses are consistent with the General Plan and are compatible with their
surroundings, with neighboring uses, and with each other since the project has appropriate
setbacks from the roadway and incorporates design features that protect the privacy and
quality of the residential units.
10. The project’s design protects the public health, safety, and welfare of future residents by
locating common area and pedestrian pathways such that these uses are buffered from
adjacent commercial uses and transportation-related noise associated with the Orcutt Road
and the railroad by incorporating a barrier of structures to attenuate noise generated by
transportation-related uses.
Packet Page 119
Attachment 4
11. The mixed uses provide greater public benefits than single-use development of the site
since the project includes 78 housing units proximate to transit, retail services and uses,
and typical workplaces. Maintaining a 24-hour presence on the site will ensure additional
safety and security for the surrounding neighborhood and commercial uses.
Specific Land Uses Findings
12. As conditioned, the proposed uses associated with the project will not adversely affect the
health, safety, or welfare of persons living or working in the vicinity because the proposed
uses are compatible with the proposed residential development and surrounding uses within
the vicinity.
13. The proposed office use is consistent with the General Plan because the Land Use Element
supports professional services having no substantial public visitation or limited need for
access to downtown government services in locations designated for Services and
Manufacturing (LUE 3.5.2.G).
14. The proposed office use is consistent the Zoning Regulations with the findings to allow
offices in the Manufacturing zone, because the use is compatible with neighboring land
uses in the area, and the proposed use will not create a shortage of Manufacturing zoned
land available for service commercial or industrial development.
15. The proposed use will not significantly direct traffic to use local or collector streets in
residential zones as it is located within an industrial district along Orcutt Road, with
convenient access to Highway 227.
16. As conditioned, the proposed restaurant use is consistent with the property development
standards of the City’s Zoning Regulations. As conditioned, the proposed use is compatible
with the project site and with existing and potential uses in the vicinity which include
commercial services, residences, offices, restaurants, and retail shops. Conditions of
approval have been adopted to minimize potential disturbances to neighboring properties.
17. As conditioned, the request to allow Personal Service uses within the Manufacturing zone
is inconsistent with Table 9 of the Zoning Regulations and the Land Use Element which
does not recognize Personal Service uses consistent or compatible with uses envisioned for
the Manufacturing zone.
18. As conditioned, the proposed uses are consistent with the General Plan because it provides
a mix of uses to serve nearby residents (LUE 2.2.1).
Hours of Operation
19. As conditioned, the proposed uses on site will not negatively impact the residential uses in
the development because the proposed commercial activity will be limited to hours of
Packet Page 120
Attachment 4
operation consistent with specific thresholds established within the Noise Ordinance for
noise-sensitive uses, noise levels created by the uses during business hours will be within
allowable limits as described in the Municipal Code.
Parking Reductions Findings
20. As conditioned, the proposed 7% bicycle parking reduction is appropriate for the site
because the proposed project includes an additional 60 bicycle parking spaces to be
provided for the mixed-use development (Zoning Regulations 17.16.060.G.2).
21. The proposed project complies with San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Section 17.16.060
A., Parking Space Requirements, in that it satisfies the intent of that section which is "... to
minimize the area devoted exclusively to parking and drives when typical demands may
be satisfied more efficiently by shared facilities." Moreover, the project satisfies the
requirement for a 10% shared parking reduction specified in San Luis Obispo Municipal
Code Section 17.16.060B because there are multiple uses that share a common parking
area.
22. As conditioned, the Automobile Trip Reduction Plan provided by the applicant requests an
additional 10% parking reduction which is consistent with the intent to minimize area
devoted exclusively to parking and driveways by providing programs such as shared
automobiles, bicycle repair station, new neighborhood packets providing information for
site amenities and proximity to alternative modes of transportation within walking or
biking distances of the site.
Mechanical Parking Lift Findings
23. The use of mechanical parking lifts results in superior design and implementation of City
goals and policies for infill development by placing parking within a structure and
screening it from public view.
24. The mechanical parking lifts are adequately screened and, as conditioned, shall be
reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission for compliance with Community
Design Guidelines for compatibility with the building and site design.
25. The mechanical parking lift systems comply with all development standards including but
not limited to height and setback requirements, and Parking and Driveway Standards with
the exception of minimum parking stall sizes which are established by lift specifications.
26. As conditioned, the mechanical parking lift systems will be safely operated and maintained
in continual operation with the exception of limited periods of maintenance.
27. There are no circumstances of the site or development, or particular model or type of
mechanical lift system which could result in significant impacts to those living or working
on the site or in the vicinity.
Packet Page 121
Attachment 4
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The project is categorically exempt under Class
32, In-Fill Development Projects; Section 15332 of the State California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Guidelines, because the project is consistent with General Plan policies for the land
use designation and is consistent with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The
project site occurs on a property of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses
that has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species and is served by required
utilities and public services. The project has been reviewed by the City Public Works Department,
Transportation Division, and no significant traffic impacts were identified, based on the size and
location of the project.
SECTION 3. Action. The project conditions of approval do not include mandatory code
requirements. Code compliance will be verified during the plan check process, which may include
additional requirements applicable to the project. The Planning Commission does hereby approve
application USE-1197-2017, allowing a mixed-use project at 950 Orcutt Road subject to the
following conditions:
Planning Division
1. The Use Permit shall be reviewed by the Community Development Director for
compliance with conditions of approval, or to determine whether a modification of the Use
Permit is necessary upon significant change to the project description, approved plans, and
other supporting documentation submitted with this application or in the event of a change
in ownership which may result in deviation from the project description or approved plans.
Minor changes to the description may be approved by the Community Development
Director; substantial modifications shall require modification of the use permit.
2. The project shall be forwarded to the Architectural Review Commission to review the
project design for consistency with the Community Design Guidelines and the Mixed Use
project design standards (Zoning Regulations Section 17.08.072). Specific attention shall
be given to the compatibility between the adjacent commercial uses and the residential
units to protect residences from glare, noise or odors. The Architectural Review
Commission shall be responsible for taking action on additional project conditions as
applicable.
3. Architectural plans to be reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission shall
incorporate any design comments from the Planning Commission.
4. The applicant shall incorporate public art as part of the project rather than paying the in-
lieu fee.
5. Hours of operation for the commercial component of the project shall be limited to 7:00
AM to 10:00 PM, unless otherwise approved by the Community Development Director
through a separate application for extended hours for specific businesses.
Packet Page 122
Attachment 4
6. Plans submitted for tenant improvements shall be limited to no more than one suite
dedicated for the use of an Office-Professional business associated with this use permit.
Additional office uses within the project site shall require separate approvals as stipulated
in the Zoning Regulations.

3.0 BACKGROUND
The project was reviewed by the PC on April 11, 2018 and was continued to a date uncertain
(Attachment 2, PC Meeting Minutes and Staff Report 4.11.18). The PC provided direction to the
applicant to work with staff to redesign the project to address specific concerns.
On July 11, 2018 the applicant presented the changes in response to PC direction (Attachment 3, PC
Draft Meeting Minutes 7.11.18), where the PC approved the use permit and provided direction to
the applicant and staff to work with the ARC to address specific concerns including the following;
1) Clearly identify bicycle access and connectivity from the project site leading to the Railroad
bike path.
2) Explore options to incorporate and identify loading and unloading areas for residents prior to
storage of vehicles in the parking lifts.
3) Review the Railroad District Plan and consider incorporating architecture elements and
design standards that enhance compatibility between the project site and the adjacent
Historic District.
4) Explore significant architectural treatments or design alternatives for the mechanical parking
lifts that provide more articulation or reduce monotony and mass of the structures as viewed
from the Railroad right-of-way.
5) Consider opportunities to increase solar access and reduce shading for the residential
courtyard open space area.
6) Consider revising the orientation of the commercial structure at the corner of Orcutt Road
and Duncan Lane to effectively screen parking while enhance the commercial structures
presence along the intersection. Explore extending the structure to wrap around the parking
area while reducing parking demand rather than required parking.
4.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS
The proposed improvements must conform to the standards and limitations of the Zoning
Regulations and Engineering Standards and be consistent with the applicable CDG. Staff has
evaluated the project and identified discussion items for the ARC to consider in order to ensure the
project responds to PC direction and is in substantial compliance with the CDG, as discussed in this
analysis.
Planning Commission Directional Items
The Planning Commission recommended six directional items to be reviewed and evaluated by the
ARC prior to taking final action on the project. The applicant has considered making the following
changes in response to the PC directional items and would like input from the ARC prior to revising
the project plans:
Directional Item #1: Clearly identify bicycle access and connectivity from the project site leading
to the Railroad bike path.
Response: The applicant has agreed to revise plans to demonstrate direct bicycle paths of travel to
and from the site, and connectivity to adjacent bicycle routes.
Directional Item #2: Explore options to incorporate and identify loading and unloading areas for
residents prior to storage of vehicles in the parking lifts.
Packet Page 129
Attachment 5
Response: The applicant has met with staff and discussed revisions to the site layout to incorporate
drop-off areas for the residents in close proximity to stair towers and elevators.
Directional Item #3: Review the Railroad District Plan and consider incorporating architecture
elements and design standards that enhance compatibility between the project site and the adjacent
Historic District.
Response: The Railroad District Plan identifies the project site as adjacent to Area 3 which is
limited to Railroad right-of-way. The plan does identify the project site as a gateway renovation
area directing property owners to replace/repair unsightly fencing, screen outdoor storage an d
parking, and installing landscaping along the fence line to improve the appearance of the City’s
gateway1. The Architectural Guidelines for the Railroad District Plan only apply to properties
within the district boundary, however, the project is subject to the City’s Community Design
Guidelines which encourage compatibility and quality of development along gateway areas. The
applicant has agreed to explore design alterations that may further enhance compatibility with the
intent of the District Plan as a gateway area.
Directional Item #4: Explore significant architectural treatments or design alternatives for the
mechanical parking lifts that provide more articulation or reduce monotony and mass of the
structures as viewed from the Railroad right-of-way.
Response: In response to PC direction regarding concerns related to the parking reduction request,
the applicant revised the plans to provide an additional 25 vehicle parking spaces provided in a
fourth floor to the mechanical parking lifts; this reduced the parking reduction request from 27% to
10%. This change led to concerns regarding the design and articulation of an approximate 300-foot
long and 35-foot tall monotonous wall along the Railroad.
ARC Discussion Item 1: The applicant and staff have identified several options to address
design modifications to the parking lifts and are seeking input from the ARC regarding the
preferred approach to address the PC direction, options may include but are not limited to;
• Inclusion of Public Art murals along the rear elevations
• Inclusion of architectural elements and features to enhance articulation and incorporate
design materials reflective of the Railroad District Plan.
• Re-locate trash enclosure and increase spacing between parking lift structures to provide
additional tree planting or other landscaping opportunities.
• Re-evaluate a more robust Trip Reduction Plan to reduce parking demand for the
property providing opportunity to lower the heights of the parking lifts.
• Reduce the heights of the parking lifts by locating the first floor of parking for the lifts
underground.
• Provide visual representation of views toward the property from the perspective of a
rider within a railroad car, with accurate representation of changes to topography
between the site and a rider’s vantage point.

owners along both sides of the railroad right-of-way to replace/repair unsightly fencing, remove trash and junk
vehicles, screen outdoor storage and parking, and install landscaping along the fence line to improve the
appearance of the City’s gateway.
Packet Page 130
Attachment 5
Directional Item #5: Consider opportunities to increase solar access and reduce shading for the
residential courtyard open space area.
Response: Upon resubmittal of the project plans, staff encourages the applicant to provide a shading
plan to demonstrate solar access opportunity for the courtyard area or consider other design
alternatives that enhance solar access.
Directional Item #6: Consider revising the orientation of the commercial structure at the corner of
Orcutt Road and Duncan Lane to effectively screen parking while enhance the commercial
structures presence along the intersection. Explore extending the structure to wrap around the
parking area while reducing parking demand rather than required parking.
Response: The applicant is exploring design modifications to address PC direction, the concern for
expanding the structure into the parking area, which was acknowledged by the PC, is the loss of
surface parking. It is preferred that surface parking or required parking is not reduced, however, the
parking area should be adequately screened from the public street and the commercial structure
should be more prominent than the residential structure as seen from the intersection of Orcutt Road
and Duncan Lane.
ARC Discussion Item 2: The ARC should provide direction to the applicant and staff regarding
the preferred approach to adequately address the intent of the PC direction for re-orienting or
wrapping the structure around the parking area, as seen from the intersection of Orcutt Road and
Duncan Lane.
Consistency with the Community Design Guidelines
The CDG establish the intent of the development objectives for commercial projects that consider
San Luis Obispo’s small-town scale and demonstrate sensitivity to the design context of the
surrounding area. The CDG establish the intent of the development standards for infill development
projects to be compatible in scale, siting, detailing, and overall character with adjacent buildings
and those in the immediate neighborhood.
Site Plan: The CDG state that site planning should create a pleasant, comfortable, safe, and distinct
place for residents. New commercial development should demonstrate consideration for the existing
conditions on and off site including site layout and massing of neighboring properties and
opportunities to preserve or enhance views of hills and provide physical and visual links to adjacent
development (CDG 3.1C). New development should provide a transition between the street and the
project through definition of the building entries, walkways and landscaping (CDG 2.1D).
The project is located in a part of the community that is more auto-oriented in character however the
site layout orients the commercial uses along Orcutt Road and provides landscaped setbacks
between the buildings and the street with pedestrian connections to the public sidewalk along each
street frontage. Surface parking has been provided between the residential and non-residential areas
to preserve privacy and enhance compatibility during operations of the different uses on the site.
The location of the surface parking provides direct access for short-term parking for customers and
visitors along the commercial entrances, with long-term parking for residents and employees
provided in the parking lifts toward the rear of the lot. The visual impact of the parking area is
Packet Page 131
Attachment 5
Figure 1: View from the intersection of Orcutt Road and Duncan Lane depicting

value roadway.
minimized by providing landscaping between every six parking spaces and decorative wall features
along Duncan Lane. The project’s parking area is not a dominant visual element of the site and is
screened by structures that are oriented toward the major street frontage.
Building Design: A building’s design should provide a sense of human scale and proportion.
Horizontal and vertical wall articulation should be expressed through the use of wall offsets,
recessed windows and entries, awnings, full roofs with overhangs, second floor setbacks, or
covered arcades. (CDG 3.2). Designs should demonstrate a consistent use of colors, materials, and
detailing throughout all elevations of the building. Elevations which do not directly face a street
should not be ignored or receive only minimal architectural treatment (CDG 3.1.B.3).
The project, with the exception of the mechanical parking lifts, demonstrates consistent use of
colors, materials, and detailing throughout all elevations of each structure. The design utilizes
vertical and horizontal wall articulation, offsets, and recessed windows to relieve the form and mass
of the building. The project includes pedestrian-scale features including storefront windows, planter
boxes, light fixtures, and balconies. All elevations are visually interesting and receive interesting
architectural treatments that enhance views of the structures from all views on and off site2.
ARC Discussion Item 3: The ARC should provide direction to the applicant and staff on the
compatibility of the architectural design of all structures in the context of the neighborhood and
the Railroad District Plan as a gateway site, in consideration of the PC directional items.
The Conservation/Open Space Element (COSE) and the Circulation Element (CE) of the General
Plan identifies Orcutt Road as a moderate/medium scenic value Roadway. The COSE or the CE do
not distinguish the difference between high and moderate scenic value and encourages the
preservation of views of important scenic resources from public places. The project has been
2 Community Design Guidelines Chapter 5, Section 5.4 C.1: Façade and roof articulation. A structure with three or
more attached units should incorporate wall and roof articulation to reduce apparent scale. Changes in wall
planes and roof heights, and the inclusion of elements such as balconies, porches, arcade, dormers, and cross
gables can avoid the barracks-like quality of long flat walls and roofs.

Attachment 5
designed with predominately one-story structures along Orcutt Road, with taller portions of the
project set further back on the site. The design considers preservation of views of the hillside
ridgelines as seen from Orcutt Road, while providing visually interesting architectural designs with
varying roof heights and articulation reflective of the architectural styles commonly found in the
industrial district (see Figure 1).
ARC Discussion Item 4: The ARC may provide direction to the applicant and staff on the
projects design in respect to the goals and policies of the COSE Chapter 9 for preservation of
scenic views from public places.
Consistency with the Zoning Regulations
The project design complies with building setbacks, lot coverage, density, and building height
requirements for the M-zone (see Section 2.0 Project Statistics). In accordance with the Table 9 of
the Zoning Regulations, mixed-use projects require a PC Use Permit to be constructed within the
M-zone. Mixed-use projects require that the PC make specific findings regarding General Plan,
neighborhood compatibility, findings for health, safety and welfare, and findings that the mix of
uses provides greater benefits such as proximity to work places, affordable housing, and trip
reduction. The PC reviewed and approved the mixed-use project (Attachment 4, PC Draft
Resolution) including the associated use permit requests which included;
• Bicycle Parking Reduction (7%)
• Shared Parking Reduction (3%)
• The use and operation of the mechanical parking lifts
• Request to allow specific land uses within the M-zone, restaurant, office-professional; where
normally required by an Administrative Use Permit
• Request to adjust hours of operation for commercial uses associated with the mixed-use
project, between the hours of 7 AM to 10 PM, where 8 AM to 6 PM is normally allowed.

Re: 950 Orcutt
Response to Architectural Review Commission Design Suggestions
Dear Kyle:
The items below are in response to the design suggestions made by the architectural review
commission (ARC).
ARC – Design Suggestions
1. Project plans should indicate the type of bike lane proposed along Orcutt Road and
demonstrate the connection to the railroad bike trail.
The proposed improvements to the bike path have been clarified that they are to be
consistent with and aligned with the recently improved bike path on the opposite side of
the train tracks. The actual connection beyond the property frontage between the two
sections of the bike path will be striped. Please see sheet A2.1.
2. Project plans should be revised to include an additional vehicle loading zone along the
south entrance.
We explored several options for a pullout similar to the north side loading area but it
proved impractical. Therefore, we added a 90 degree parking space designated for
short term loading/unloading. This space is on the south side near the entry to the
residential building. It is important to note that we added an additional standard
parking space on the north side of the residential building so that the
loading/unloading space is in addition to the required number of parking spaces and
does not decrease the number of standard parking spaces. Please see sheet A2.1
3. Consider adding signage or other type of mural along the side elevation of the parking
lift structure, as viewed from the railroad.
We are proposing to create a space on the south side of the first parking garage for a mural.
We are not designating what the mural should look like but the goal is to identify this
location as a gateway to SLO and in particular to the railroad district. Please see sheet A2.4.
4. Project plans should be revised landscape plans to include planting within the 3-foot
setback along the parking lift structures to address the aesthetic of the structures as
seen from the railroad. The landscaping plan should consider dense vegetation along
the base of the parking lift structures and consider replacing project trees with
evergreen trees.
We have reconfigured the fence behind the garage so that it is only located between the
garages. This opened up more area for landscaping between the garage and the railroad
Packet Page 137
Attachment 6
1306 JOHNSON AVENUE SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93401 P: 805/547.2240 F: 805/547.2241
THOMAS E. JESS, ARCHITECT #C27608
right‐of‐way. The landscaping includes a variety of narrow evergreen trees, vines on trellises
and shrubs. Please see sheets A2.1, A2.4 and L‐1.
5. Consider additional color variation between materials for the u pper portions of the parking lift
structures.
The color of the upper portion of the parking garage structures has been lightened to
provide contrast between the main body of the garage walls and the upper portion. Please
see sheet A7.0.
6. Provide additional contrast between the colors of the commercial buildings including
the roofs, the colors and materials board shall be updated to reflect all modified colors
or materials.
The metal roof colors on buildings C & D have been revised to the create more contrast
between the walls and roofs of these buildings. The roofs are now lighter than the walls.
Please see sheets A5.0 & A6.0.
7. Consider providing a play structure for younger families within the courtyard.
We did not feel that a play structure was appropriate for this project given the large
percentage of studios and one bedroom apartments. However, we did revise the courtyard
to include an oversized chessboard. The chessboard will provide some play time activity for
both children and adults. Please see sheets A2.1 & L‐1.
8. Project plans should identify mechanical equipment for each structure and
demonstrate compliance with screening requirements as identified in the
Community Design Guidelines.
Mechanical wells have been added to the center portion of the roof of buildings B & C. These
wells are deep enough to adequately screen the mechanical equipment in compliance with
the community design guidelines. The mechanical equipment for building E is minimal and
will be located on grade between the building and the property line fence. This area is not
accessible to the public and the fence will adequately screen the equipment from view.
Please see sheet A2.1, A5.0 & A5.1.
Thank you and please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions, comments or
require additional information.
Sincerely,
Thom Jess
