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,

the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on March 4,
2014, for the purpose of reviewing the applicant's proposal; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council makes the
following findings:
The request to initiate amendments to the General Plan is consistent with City Regulations
and Council authorization to initiate General Plan Amendments is required since
modifications are proposed to General Plan Land Use designations of the Orcutt Area
Specific Plan and relocation of the City of San Luis Obispo adopted Urban Reserve Line
(URL).
2. On January 22, 2014, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended action on the
proposed initiation of General Plan Amendments.
3. The requested initiation does not grant land use entitlements and authorize evaluation of the
proposed amendments to the Orcutt Area Specific Plan as part of a formal application.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The proposed request for initiation involves
initial feedback and direction on the proposed amendments and does not include any final action
or approval. Council action on the proposed initiation is exempt from environmental review per
CEQA Guidelines under the General Rule (Section 15061(b)(3)). If initiation of amendments is
authorized by the City Council, a formal project submittal for consideration of the proposed
amendments including subdivision and associated discretionary entitlements will be subject to
environmental review.
