CAO RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution extending the use permit allowing a mixed-use parking reduction with three added conditions: that the Apple Farm prepare and implement a Trip Reduction Plan; that the applicant submit an off-site parking agreement; that all prior and added conditions (with condition 5 amended) be met within 45 days. REPORT IN BRIEF Council consideration of this item is required at this time by a condition of a previously approved use permit (A164-89) . A use permit allowing a twenty percent mixed-use parking reduction for the Apple Farm and the adjoining Trellis Court Motel was originally granted by the Administrative Hearing Officer on January 18, 1990. This decision was based on a finding that the mix of uses on site - primarily restaurant and motel - results in a reduced peak parking demand for each use because a given parking space often serves patrons of both uses. Allowing the parking reduction enables Apple Farm to use two areas for outdoor dining - the deck just outside the restaurant and the patio near the Millhouse. The decision of the Administrative Hearing Officer was appealed to the Planning Commission by residents of San Luis Drive who objected to the "mixed-use" designation and to the impact they felt additional outdoor dining would have on parking availability, local traffic, and the nearby residential neighborhood. The appeal was denied on March 14, 1990 by a 4-2 vote. Residents of San Luis Drive later appealed the Planning Commission's decision (both appellant statements are attached) . On June 6, 1990, the. City Council voted 3-1-1 (Councilwoman Rappa voting no and Mayor Dunin absent) to deny the appeal and to uphold the Planning Commission's approval of the use permit, subject to conditions as amended. (Copies of the June 6 resolution and the staff report are attached.) Condition 5 requires that the use permit be reviewed at the first of November. At such review, the Council may add, delete, or modify conditions, or may revoke the use permit. 11111 WfW city of San tins OBISPO WaZe COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT BACRQROUND Data Summary Address: 2015 and 2121 Monterey Street Applicant: Bob Davis Zoning: C-T-S General Plan: Tourist commercial Environmental Status: This project is categorically exempt. Site Description The site consists of about five total acres on two adjoining lot of record which contain two motels (99 total rooms) , a restaurant, and a gift shop. There are 170 total parking spaces on the two sites (112 spaces at 2015 Monterey Street and 58 spaces at 2121 Monterey Street) . DISCUSSION Appropriate criteria for review of this use permit include: 1. Receipt of any reasonable citizen complaint(s) . 2. Compliance with conditions of approval. 3. Demonstration of an adequate supply of available parking. 4. Implementation of a Trip Reduction Plan. Citizen Complaint Since the use permit was approved by the City Council, there have been no written citizen complaints formally submitted to the Community Development Department. A few anonymous telephone calls have been received by planning staff. The nature of the complaints were: 1) employees are not allowed to park on site; 2) employees and guests park at adjacent businesses; and 3) finding parking is always a problem. Compliance With Conditions Two conditions (no.1 and 4) of the use permit approval have not been met as of October 24, 1990. Condition 1 requires the installation of 8 motorcycle spaces and 8 bicycle spaces (of which 2 shall be lockable storage lockers) . There are two bicycle racks on site, for three bicycles each. Neither of these is anchored to the ground. ��AuuipiU city of san tuts oBispo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT . There is an area to the east of the restaurant building stenciled "Motorcycles". This parking area is not striped, does not meet city standards, and is obscurely located. One of the bicycle racks has been placed in this area. The other bicycle rack .is located in a compact car space. (See attached site plan I1.) There are no bicycle lockers located on site. Neither the bicycle parking nor the motorcycle parking meet city standards. (See attached zoning and parking regulations.) Condition 1 contained in the Council Resolution approving the use permit states: Applicant shall submit an agreement to the city for review, approval and recordation indicating that use of outdoor deck dining shall cease under any one of the following conditions: a. When the Community Development Director determines that available parking is insufficient for the use; b. When the Community Development Director determines that outdoor deck dining use is contributing to a significant parking problem; or C. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the off- site parking easement and agreement. (See "other issues" this section. ) The applicant shall further agree to notify the Community Development Director, in writing, if off-site parking is not available. To date the applicant has not submitted the required agreement. Parking Availability Data collected by staff between September 19 and October 10 indicate that parking is generally available even during peak hours. Staff did observe a high demand for parking on Saturday evenings and Sunday during brunch with very few spaces available. (A summary of parking data collected by staff is attached.) Trio Reduction A draft outline for an informal trip reduction plan was submittted by the applicant at the May 1, 1990 meeting of the Council. (Draft outline is attached. Also see minutes from the June 6 Council meeting.) In a conversation with staff on October 17, 1990, Bob Davis-noted that a shuttle has been running between the. Apple Farm and Cal Poly from 11:00 an until 2:00 pm on weekdays and that the Apple Farm is still exploring the feasibility of providing a similiar service to senior housing communities as part of an "Early Bird" dinner promotion. ►�IhIIIpIIi�q��U city of san tins ompo WHaMe COUNCIL AGENOA REPORT Neither of these programs are designed to significantly reduce parking demand, but rather to increase restaurant business during hours when the demand has traditionally been less. No program to reduce employee trips currently exists. (No such plan was required as a condition of approval.) Bob Davis did confirm that employees are encouraged to park off site. At the May 1, 1990 meeting of the City Council, the applicant asked that a trip reduction plan not be required so that the Apple Farm would be free to experiment with innovative approaches to reducing employee trips. However, since the June 6 resolution approving a mixed-use parking reduction, the Apple Farm has not initiated any program geared toward reducing parking demand by employees. Other Issues The Apple Farm owners have purchased 2121 Monterey (Trellis Court) . Formerly there had been an agreement between the Davis's and the Franciscan Company to allow off-site parking for the Apple Farm at 2121 Monterey. Although now under common ownership, these two properties remain separate lots. Therefore parking at 2121 Monterey which serves uses at 2015 is still considered "off-site." The applicant should submit an off-site parking easement and agreement which reflects current ownership. ALTERNATIVES 1. Extend the use permit: The Council may extend the use permit with added, deleted, or modified conditions. Twenty percent is the maximum mixed-use reduction which can be allowed. The Council may approve a lesser reduction with a corresponding reduction in the area allowed for outdoor dining. The Council may condition the use permit to require the Apple Farm to prepare a Trip Reduction Plan. The plan could include incentives listed in the attached "Draft Outline Trip Reduction Plan," submitted by the applicant but never put into effect. If the use permit is extended, all previous conditions of approval should apply. However, condition 5 should be amended to read: Condition 5. Usepern4t; shall be revieveei-on November 1, 1-990'. and [Ujpon receipt of any reasonable citizen complaint, the Community Development Director shall schedule this use permit for review. At such review, the Director may add, delete, or modify use permit conditions, or may revoke the use permit. All property owners within 300 feet of the subject property shall be given written notice of any such review. ►�!I� j����� city of San lues OBIspo Ili;% COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT The City Council may add conditions 8 and 9: Condition 8. The applicant shall submit for approval a Trip Reduction Plan to the Community Development Director within 30 days (December 7, 1990) and shall implement the plan within fifteen days of Director approval. Condition 9. The applicant shall submit for approval an off-site parking easement/agreement guaranteeing the availability of 24 parking spaces at the Trellis Court site (2121 Monterey) for use by the Apple Farm (2015 Monterey) . Condition 10. All conditions of this approval shall be met within 45 days (December 21, 1990) . 2. Revoke the use permit: The Council may find that because conditions have not been met, the mixed-use parking reduction is no longer appropriate; or that if conditions are not met within a specified period of time, the use permit will be revoked. If the use permit is revoked, the previous mixed-use reduction would still be in effect (A96-84 attached) , and outdoor dining could continue on either the restaurant = the Millhouse patio. 3. Continue review: The Council may also continue review with direction to the applicant and staff. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution extending the use permit to allow the mixed- use parking reduction, subject to compliance with previously required conditions of approval, with condition 5 amended and with the added conditions 8, 9, and 10. Staff recommends that the Trip Reduction Plan include many of the approaches suggested by the applicant himself in his draft outline for a plan, submitted to the City Council on May 11 1990.

CAO RECOMMENDATION: ! Adopt Draft Resolution No. 1 to deny the appeal and uphold the decision of the Planning Commission approving a twenty percent mixed-use parking reduction subject to conditions. REPORT IN BRIEF The owner of the Apple Farm motel and restaurant wants to allow outdoor dining in two locations on the site: on the patio next to the restaurant and on the patio next to the Mill House. Previous approvals currently allow him to have outdoor dining at only one of these locations at a time. In order to provide the 12 additional parking spaces for the expanded use, he applied for a mixed use parking reduction for the Apple Farm and adjoining Trellis Court motel (formerly the Franciscan motel) . Section 17.16.060 (B) of the zoning ordinance allows the Director, through the administrative use permit process, to reduce the total parking space requirement for a site by up to twenty percent when the times of maximum parking demand from the various uses on a site will not coincide. Based on data supplied by the applicant, and confirmed with data. collected by staff, the Hearing Officer concluded that the uses I on the site -- primarily the restaurant. and motel -- result in times of peak parking demand which do not coincide and on January 58 1990, approved a twenty percent mixed use parking reduction for the Apple Farm and adjoining Trellis Court motel. The conditions of approval allow outdoor dining at two locations subject to restrictions on the hours of operation and the maximum floor area allowed. This action was appealed to the Planning Commission who voted 4-2 on March 14, 1990 to deny the appeal. The decision of the Planning Commission has been appealed to the City Council. The points of concern of the appellants are: -- The decision of the Hearing Officer and Planning Commission was based on inaccurate parking calculations for the various uses on the site. C Current parking and use data for the Apple Farm is ..summarized on Exhibit III. The information differs slightly (2 parking city of san Luis oBespo C®UNIPIL AGENDA REPORT ARC 90-08 2 Page 2 spaces) from the original calculations but did not change the staff or Planning Commission conclusions concerning approval of this request. The actual parking reduction is 20 percent, as previously requested. -- The parking data used to support the decisions of the Hearing Officer and Planning Commission did not reflect the fact that employees of the Apple Farm are not permitted to park on the site. The zoning ordinance is silent with respect to whether or not employees are required to park in the parking provided on a site. Therefore, it was not considered germane to the decision of the mixed-use reduction. -- The mixed-use reduction will worsen an existing problem with on-street parking In the vicinity of the Apple Farm. on-street parking is heavily used in the upper Monterey Street area but was found to be available at various times of the day and week. This item was continued from the council's April 17, 1990 meeting -� at the request of the applicant and appellants to allow time to resolve their various concerns without the need for the appeal. BACKGROUND Data Summary Address: 2015 and 2121 Monterey Street Applicant: Bob Davis Appellants: Bonnie Garritano, et al, and Robert Binkele (two separate appeals) Zoning: C-T-S General Plan: Tourist commercial Environmental Status: This project is categorically exempt. Site Description The site consists of about five total acres on two adjoining lots of record which contain two motels (99 total rooms) , a restaurant, and a gift shop. There are 170 total parking spaces on the two sites (112 spaces at 2015 Monterey Street and 58 spaces at 2121 Monterey Street) . DISCUSSION 1. Prior Actions/Applicant's Request-- The Apple Farm hotel and acy 0r san alis OBISpo COUN=IL AGENDA REPORT CARC 90-08 3 Page 3 restaurant has been the subject of numerous previous actions by the Director and Architectural Review Commission which are summarized at the end of this report. The two actions most germane to the current request and appeal are the mixed-use reduction previously granted in 1984 (A96-84) , and the more recent approval of offsite parking for the Apple Farm at the adjacent motel site at 2121 Monterey Street (A73-89) . The former is important because the uses on the site (restaurant, motel rooms and gift shop) are principally the same now as then, although expanded. The latter is important because a condition of approval allows the owner of the Apple Farm to provide outdoor dining on the patio next to the restaurant oz- the rthe patio next to the Mill House but not both (see conditions of approval and parking summary, Exhibits I and II, attached) . The applicant now wants to provide outdoor dining at both the Mill House patio and the patio next to the restaurant. In order to provide parking for the increase in dining and food preparation space (12 additional spaces) , the owner has applied for a twenty percent mixed use parking reduction for adjacent sites at 2121 and 2015 Monterey Street. On January 5, 1990, based on supporting data provided by the applicant and staff which showed that excess parking is available on the C, site, the Hearing Officer approved a 20 percent mixed-use parking reduction which reduced the total required parking for 2015 and 2121 Monterey Street from 212 spaces to 168 spaces, subject to findings and conditions (see minutes and conditions, attached) . The conditions restrict the total outdoor dining allowed for the site to a maximum 1125 square feet: 640 sq.ft. at the restaurant deck and 485 sq.ft. at the Mill House. The conditions also restrict the hours of operation for dining at the Mill House and require that all food be "box lunch" or "to-go" only. These are the same restrictions on the Mill House dining that are currently in effect, except that the Planning Commission changed the hours of operation allowed for the Mill House deck dining from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM to 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. . The conditions also require that the owner enter into a recorded agreement which says that the outdoor dining shall cease if inadequate parking is evident. The use permit will also be reviewed in one year, at which time it may be revoked, extended, or conditions added or modified. This use permit would also supersede the previous mixed use reduction granted in 1984, and would amend those conditions of approval for the offsite parking granted in 1989 which relate to the use of outdoor dining areas. C- j CILy Or Sark -UIS OBISPO COI, N=IL AGENDA REPORT ARC 90-08 - - -� Page 4 -� 2. Parking Availability -- The proposed additional outdoor patio dining would require a total of 12 additional parking spaces which can be provided in a variety of ways,, including adding more spaces to the site or reducing or eliminating uses to offset the increase in parking demand. Another option is a mixed-use parking reduction. The applicant suggests that a mixed use reduction in appropriate in this case because: -- The primary uses on the site have complementary parking demands which result in a single parking space serving more than one use at a time. And, -- Ample excess parking is provided on the site now, even with a previously approved twenty percent mixed use reduction. The applicant has submitted parking space availability data (summarized on Exhibit IV) which shows that, even during peak occupancy of the motels and restaurant, an average of about 30-40 parking spaces are still available which would more than offset the 12 additional spaces required for the added patio dining. This conclusion was verified by a parking survey conducted by staff between December 15 and December 30, 1989. During this time, both motels were 100% occupied on three days and averaged about 50% occupancy for the period. On the days with 100% occupancy, an average of about 30 parking spaces were available at various times of the day (see Exhibit V. attached) . One of the main points of discussion and confusion when the Planning Commission considered the appeal of the Hearing Officer's action was that the parking summary provided for the hearing did not accurately balance the parking required with the parking provided. For this reason, when the Planning Commission voted to deny the appeal, they required that a parking and use summary be prepared which accurately portrays all of the uses on the site and the corresponding - parking requirements. A current parking summary is attached (Exhibit III) which lists the various uses on the site . with the corresponding parking requirements based on a tour of-the site conducted in March, 1990. 3. Appellants' Concerns -- The Hearing officer's decision was appealed to the Planning Commission by residents of San Luis Drive whose properties adjoin the site to the south across San Luis Creek. The appellants felt that the mixed use reduction was not appropriate in this case because it would contribute to an existing parking and traffic problem in the area, it would allow intensification of the site which could adversely j C ity o�sd1►-Luis OBISPO /\ COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT OA164-89 Page 5 affect the adjoining residences, and because the parking data used to support the request was not representative of peak parking demand for the site. The Planning Commission concluded that potential impacts from the additional outdoor dining would be mitigated by the location of the patio and by the restrictions recommended for its use. They also felt that the parking data was representative of peak demand for the site and that on street w parking was available at various times of the day and week. The city has received two separate appeals of the Planning Commission action. one by residents of San Luis Drive (see statement, attached) who want to be certain that the decision on the mixed use parking reduction is based on current, accurate parking calculations for.the site. As outlined above, a current summary of uses and parking for the site has been prepared and is attached as Exhibit III. The appellants are also concerned that the owner of the Apple Farm does not own the Trellis Court :motel but has a lease option to buy the site. The statement recommends that the patio dining next to the Mill House be prohibited in favor of allowing patio dining next to the restaurant. ' ' The second appeal is by the owner of a neighboring property at 1895 Monterey Street who states that the parking data presented is misleading because it does not account for the fact that employees of the Apple Farm are not allowed to park on the site, and that if they were, it would significantly reduce the number of vacant spaces. This issue was discussed briefly at the Planning Commission hearing but was not considered germane to this request because the zoning ordinance is silent with respect to where people park (see Intent of Parking Space Requirements, attached) and because the Commission felt that the issue of requir�in9 employees to park on site should not be decided within the context of a specific application because such a policy or change in the zoning ordinance would affect businesses citywide. Currently, the Community Development Department is working on a "Trip Reduction Ordinance", or TRO. The purpose of the ordinance is to reduce the use of "single occupant vehicles" by employees. Implementation of a TRO could also reduce employee parking demand which might be amore direct method of addressing this issue. However, if the Council wishes to change the parking ordinance to require employees to park on- site, staff recommends that the matter be referred to the Planning Department for a separate evaluation of the Cconsequences. yi8 j acy of sar. ,IIS OBISpo C®UNPIL AGENDA REPORT A164-89 Page 6 The appellant is also concerned that the mixed-use parking reduction will only worsen an existing on-street parking problem in the upper Monterey Street area (see statement, attached) . The decision to approve the mixed use reduction was based on the best available information about parking in the upper Monterey Street area..without doing a formal parking study for the area. The conditions of approval allow ample protection for the city and surrounding property owners if the use permit is approved and an onsite or offsite parking problem arises. 4. Alternatives -- A variety of alternatives are available to the Council: Twenty percent is the maximum mixed-use reduction which can be allowed. The Council may approve a lesser reduction, with a commensurate reduction in the area allowed for outdoor dining, or you may uphold the appeal and deny a reduction altogether. If the mixed-use reduction is denied, the previously approved mixed use reduction would still be in effect, and outdoor dining could continue on either the Mill House patio or the restaurant patio. Another option would be to condition the-use permit to require the Apple Farm to prepare a Trip Reduction Plan for the employees which would promote carpools and alternate means of reaching the site other than cars. An example of a trip reduction plan prepared recently for new commercial center on South Higuera Street is attached. A key part of any TRP is the monitoring and enforcement of its requirements. If a TRP is required, it would help monitor the parking situation on the site. Note that Trip Reduction Plans are designed to reduce employee trips only. The Applicant has also expressed a desire to operate a private shuttle service to the Apple Farm, which would reduce customer trips as well. ALTERNATIVES 1: The Council may adopt Draft Resolution No. 1 to deny the appeals and uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to approve a 20 percent mixed use parking reduction based on findings and conditions. 2. The Council may adopt Draft Resolution No. 2 to uphold the appeals and deny the mixed use reduction. In this. case, the owner of the Apple Farm would still have permission to have outdoor dining at either the Mill House patio or the restaurant patio. i j City Of Sd11 LUIS OBISpO COUNCIL /0►GENDA REPORT OA164-89 Page 7 3.

APPEAL - PLANNING COMMISSION APPLB FARM (Pile No. 607) Council held a public hearing to consider an appeal by Sonnie Garsitano, at al., of Planning Commission approval of a use permit allowing a 20% sized use parking reduction at 2015 and 2121 Monterey Street (Apple Para); Bob Davis, applicant (continued from 4/17/90 and 5/1/90). Mayor Dunin stepped down due to a possible_ conflict of interest; Vice-Mayor Reiss presiding. Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director, reviewed the agenda report with the recommendation that Council adopt the resolution denying the appeal and upholding the Planning Commission approval of the use perait subject to the conditions as recommended. Vice-Mayor Reiss declared the public hearing open. Bonnie Garritano expressed concern about the way the compact spaces had been counted, felt there was still sixteen short of the parking regulations.

Findings. That this council, after consideration of public testimony, the applicant's request A164- 90, the appellants' statements, the Planning Commission's action, staff recommendations and reports thereon, makes the following findings: 1.. The proposed 20% parking reduction is not likely to Adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of persons visiting, living or working at the site or in the vicinity. 2. The proposed 20% parking reduction is appropriate because n the mix of uses on the site, namely motel and restaurant, \�J results in a reduced peak parking demand for each use because a given parking space often serves patrons of both uses. SECTION 2. Conditions. The request for approval of a twenty percent mixed use parking reduction at 201.5 and 2121 Monterey Street is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. A 20% reduction in required parking is hereby approved. A minimum of 168 vehicle parking spaces; 8 motorcycle spaces and 8 bicycle spaces (of which 2 spaces shall be lockable storage lockers) shall be available at 2015 and 2121 Monterey Street at all times for employees, customers . and guests of the uses' on site. 2. outdoor dining use at 2015 Monterey Street shall be limited to 640 square feet at the restaurant deck and 485 square feet at the Millhouse deck, as shown on attached Exhibits A and B. G3. The following restrictions shall apply to the Millhouse J i Resolution No. 6819 (1990 Series) A164-90 Page 2 dining deck: a. No alcoholic beverage service shall be allowed. b.

No outdoor music, live or recorded, or entertainment of any kind shall be allowed at any time. 4. Applicant shall submit an agreement to the city for review, approval and recordation indicating that use of outdoor deck dining shall cease under any one of the following conditions: a.

When the Community Development Director determines that outdoor deck dining use is contributing to a significant parking problem; or C. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the off-site parking easement and agreement. The applicant shall further agree to notify the Community Development Director, in writing, if off-site parking is not available. 5. Use permit shall be reviewed on November 1, 1990, and upon receipt of any reasonable citizen complaint, the Community Development Director shall schedule this use permit for review.

O Mayor Ron Dunin ATTES ( • V City Clerk Pa ' Voges APPROVED: O JAN 2 21990 CAYmSmLUMowvw San Luis Drive Neighbors San Luis Obispo,CA January 19,1990 Planning Commissioners 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93403 Dear Commissioners; As property owners residing within close proximity to the Apple Farm Inn, we hereby appeal the decision of the Zoning Hearing Officer with regard to the Use Permit Application A 164-89. The reduction from .the required 212 parking spaces to 170 parking spaces (20%) granted January 15,1990 can only add to the traffic and parking problems already exiting on Monterey Street and sidestreets near the project. This is an addition to a previously granted mixed use reduction. The addition of a shuttle service to downtown will help alleviate the downtown parking problems while effectively creating more of a parking problem for the Monterey Street motels. This is not a time for easing• of city -mandated parking requirements. Additionally, this is not a mixed use situation, nor does inspection during December constitute adequate review. Occupancies are at a low at this time of the year. We are also concerned that this reduction of required parking will allow additional outdoor restaurant services which will bring even more people onto this overbuilt property, on a sensitive site, overlooking a quiet, residential neighborhood. Respectfully submitted by, cc Dave Moran Ren Bruce A164-89 Page 3 restaurant, an average of about 3040 parking spaces are still available which would more than offset the 12 additional spaces required for the added patio dining. This conclusion was verified by a parking survey conducted by staff between December 15 and December 30, 1989. During this time, both motels were 100% occupied on three days and averaged about 50% occupancy for the period. On the days with 100% occupancy, an average of about 30 parking spaces were available at various times of the day (see Exhibit V. attached). 3. Appellants' Concerns — The appellants argue (see statement, attached) that the mixed use reduction is inappropriate in this case because: It will contribute to an existi>;g parking and traffic problem in the upper Monterey Street area. According to the draft Circulation Element (DKS and Associates, 1989) traffic volumes in the upper Monterey Street area will continue to increase, with or without the mixed use reduction requested by the Apple Farm. On-street parking is heavily used in the area, although surveys by staff indicate on-street parking is available along Monterey Street at a variety of times during the day and week. However, the data supplied by the applicant and staff seem to support the conclusion that parking is available on the C' site to serve the expanded use during peak operation. The Apple Farm is asking for an additional twenty percent reduction in parking required for the site. (See Prior Actions, above) There is no provision in the city's regulations which would allow more than a twenty percent reduction in required parking and none is being requested at this time. Note from the attached parking calculations for the site (Exhibit III) that all current and proposed uses are calculated based on their full parking requirement and that the reduction approved by the Hearing Officer on January 5, 1990, applies to this total. Therefore, if this request is approved, the previous mixed use reduction will be superseded. The parking use data provided by the applicant is not representative of periods of peak parking demand The data supplied by the applicant was based on a time (Fourth of July weekend) which has historically had the highest occupancy rate at the motels and restaurant, according to the applicant. The data supplied by staff includes days when both motels were 100% occupied and the restaurant was full, based on the volume of people waiting to be seated. The proposed shuttle from the upper Monterey Street area to the downtown Cwill increase parking demand in the area �S A164-89 Page 4 i This refers to the shuttle system which is being explored by the council which would connect the motels on upper Monterey Street with the downtown. If implemented, such a service could provide an incentive for people to park in the upper Monterey Street area to avoid parking problems downtown. It will allow additional outdoor dining which will intensify use of the site which may adversely impact neighboring residences across the creek from the Apple Farm. The purpose of the mixed use reduction is to intensify the use of the site by allowing outdoor dining in two locations, rather than one, which is currently allowed. Based on the location of the restaurant patio (see site plan, attached) and restrictions recommended for its use, potential nuisance impacts to neighbors should be effectively mitigated. Again, if complaints are received the use permit can be reviewed by the Hearing Officer at a public hearing and may be revoked. 4. Alternatives — A variety of alternatives are available to the Commission: Twenty percent is the maximum mixed-use reduction which can be allowed. The Commission may approve a lesser reduction, with a comensurate reduction in the area allowed for outdoor dining, or you may uphold the appeal and deny a reduction altogether. If the mixed-use reduction is denied, the previously approved mixed use reduction would still be in effect, and outdoor dining could continue on either the Mill House patio or the restaurant patio. Another option would be to condition the use permit to require the Apple Farm to prepare a Trip. Reduction Plan for the employees which would promote carpools and alternate means of reaching the site other than cars. An example of a trip reduction plan prepared recently for new commercial center on South Higuera Street is attached. A key part of any TRP is the monitoring and enforcement of its requirements. If a.TRP is required, it would help monitor the parking situation on the site. Note that Trip Reduction Plans are designed to reduce employee trips only.The Applicant has also expressed a desire to operate a private shuttle service to the Apple Farm, which would reduce customer trips as well. ALTERNATIVES 1. The Commission may deny the appeal, approving the mixed use reduction with findings.and conditions suggested by staff or others that you feel are appropriate. 2 The Commission may continue review. �i / San l Drive Appelieet Stdkr hent e San .Luis Drive Residence �J $ 1950 San Luis Drive 1 San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 March 23, 1990 City Councilmembers 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Dear Councilmembers; We, the undersigned, are hereby appealing the Planning Commission decision of March 14, 1990 which upholds use Permit A 164-89. This mixed use reduction of parking to allow additional deck dining on the site needs your review, considering these facts: 1. Inaccurate parking calculations were presented to both the Zoning Hearing Officer and the Planning Commissioners. We request that accurate parking calcullations be submitted to you which conform to the City Parking Ordinance, allowing for no discretionary alterations. 2 The applicant does not oft the parcel at 2121 Monterey St. which he intends to combine with his own parcel at 2015 Monterey, though he does hold a lease option to buy. A lease/ option on the adjacent parcel should not be considered a viable option. This project sets a precedent for development in this highly competitive commercial tourist area. gTf concessions are granted to this project, you must be prepared for the consequences of granting the same for all. Our goal is not to deny the applicant his right to earn a profit but to limit the activities to those areas which have the least impact on the R-1 homes adjoining the project. Therefore, we propose that the Mill House dining patio, which has not been fully utilized to date, be sacrificed in favor of the restaurant deck dining. Since this is a matter of grave concern to several of the undersigned we request that this come before the Council at your earliest convenience, with the exception of Tuesday, April 9th and Tuesday April 23, 1990. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, R E `i E 9 � u /` -'V-- MAR 2 11990 CITY CLERK SAN LUIS OBIS:'O.CA ce: Z3e��evr �a/G A6o.�,µ. .4*" VwAOC � 0,30 1. ::spo sin Luis ..

T SHOP-RARE r - DRAFT OUTLINE TRIP REDUCTION PLAN APPLE FARM Many of the points included in this plan would have tc be analyzed, particularly from the perspective of liability and willingness of insurance carriers to cooperate. However, other portions of the program are ready to be implemented on a strictly voluntary basis . In fact, in order to main- tain the maximum amount of flexibility and creativity I would much prefer that this plan not be "required" and that we be left free to experiment with innovative approaches that may, or in some cases, may not be feasible. A. Employees Trip Reduction 1. A point award system based on the means of arriving at work. 2. Highest points to walking/public transportation and biking; no points for single occupant vehicle. 3. Points redeemed into gift certificate for nights in the Inn, etc. 4. Perhaps supplying those willing to bike with free helmets . S. Provide all the elements of the sample TRP. B. Customer Trip Reduction 1. Shuttle service every 10 minutes to & from Cal Poly from, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM using two of our three fourteen pass- enger buses. 2. Special senior dinners originating at retirement commun- ities, mobile home parks & condo projects, Sunday - Friday from 3:30 - 5:30. 3. Use spare bus at, lunch time for picking up special office party groups at business or government offices. 4. Use as many buses as needed to pick up special parties of 10 or more for evening birthday/anniversary celebrations. 5. Conduct wine country tours on week-ends and during the summer. 6. Provide free transportation for all Monterey Street Motels to Farmer's Market.

She is unable to attend the meeting tonight but wanted to address the Council regarding the Apple Farm agenda item. The following is a direct quote. "I'm basically still opposed allowing use of the patio unless they restrict the use of patio down by the creek. Don't think they should have full use of both patios and feel that use of patio closest to Monterey is much more in line for use of this property because the Mill House is too close homes the creek. Use of the millhouse eating area infringes on privacy, both noise and visual. Unless there is restriction down by the creek you are setting a precedent for future use of restaurants and motels along the creek. With the use of the patio there are not enough parking"spaces and so am still concerned about employee parking on streets and side streets and once again, a precedent would be set by decreasing the required parking."
