DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Agenda Item 1: Bicycle Education Contract Services (20 min) – Bike SLO
County
Implementation Action 3.1.1. of the Bicycle Transportation Plan calls for the City to “Maintain
City‐funded bicycle transportation promotion and educational activities that benefit San Luis
Obispo’s residents, workforce, and visitors through the use of consultant service contracts.”
Over the last few years, Bike SLO County has provided these services through their Bicycle Road
Skills workshops teaching proper rules of the road, applicable laws, bike maintenance and
safety tips. The last services contract was in the amount of $5,500 and is currently up for
renewal. Michael Velasquez, Bike SLO County’s Bike Education Coordinator will give a
presentation on the achievements of the program, some challenges, and ideas for the future.
This item will be an opportunity for the committee to provide input on bicycle education
services in the next contract.
Agenda Item 2: Zoning Regulations Update (40 min) – Bell
Zoning Regulations are intended to guide the development of the city in an orderly manner
based on the adopted general plan, to protect and enhance the quality of the natural and built
environment, and to promote the public health, safety and general welfare by regulating the
use of land and buildings and the location and basic form of structures. Kyle Bell, Associate City
Planner will give a presentation on the current effort to update the Zoning Regulations. Relative
to bicycle transportation, this update will include bringing both motor vehicle and bicycle
parking regulations up to date as well as include trip reduction programs. The current Zoning
Regulations document can be found at: http://www.slocity.org/home/showdocument?id=5861
This item will be an opportunity for the committee to provide input on the zoning regulations

extensive community outreach conducted over the course of the last year and technical 42
Attachment 1, Page 1 of 4
information from the Alternatives Screening Report on the benefits and drawbacks of each 43
proposed alternative. 44
45
46
Public Comment: 47
Garrett Otto, resident on Lincoln Street, thanked staff for the outreach on the project and is in 48
support of Alternative 2. He noted the benefits for those who live in the area as well as outside 49
the neighborhood. He asked for the hill on Chorro Street to be considered as part of the design 50
considerations of Alternative 2. 51
52
Jesse Englert, Anholm neighborhood resident, supports Alternative 2 since it provides the safest 53
and most useful option for bicycling. Not in favor of Alternative 1 but would support Alternative 3 54
as a last resort. 55
56
Kristina Olmos, resident of West Street and former BAC member, is split between Alternative 3 57
with variations and the “no change” alternative. Would like to see Lincoln Street as an option for 58
northbound cyclists. Thinks all three alternatives would add traffic to Lincoln and would therefore 59
like to see traffic calming measures considered with all alternatives. 60
61
Myron Amerine, member of the County BAC, for cost effectiveness favors removal of parking on 62
Chorro to create bike lanes rather than the three alternatives. For Alternative 2, is concerned 63
about proper width of cycle track to accommodate bikes. 64
65
James Park, is concerned about conflicts with driveways and does not favor Alternative 2. 66
Favors stop signs at all intersections rather than traffic circles. 67
68
Chris McBride, President of Bike SLO County, stated that her organization has not chosen an 69
alternative but that “no changes” would not be a desirable option given the need to improve 70
bicycle connectivity. She also noted the need to take neighborhood needs into consideration. 71
72
Joel Westwood, resident of Meinecke Street, does not favor Alternative 1 or 2. Believes 73
diverters present dangers to bicyclists if they are drunk. Believes traffic calming is the best 74
solution to keep traffic away from the neighborhood. 75
76
Becky and Mike Hicks, owners of the Lincoln Deli and residents of the neighborhood, concerned 77
about traffic diversion with Alternatives 1 and 2. Has concerns about the financial commitment 78
of Alternative 2. Prefers Alternative 3 due to cost and traffic diversion until freeways ramps can 79
be closed. 80
81
Kristin Bridgeport, Broad Street resident, supports Alternative 3. Has question about increased 82
speeds on one-way streets. Desires that benefits and drawbacks be shared among the broader 83
neighborhood. Has questions about diversion resulting from Morro Street Bicycle Boulevard. 84
85
Attachment 1, Page 2 of 4
Ellen and Dave Houghton, 210 Lincoln Street, desired bicycle improvements to cross Foothill 86
Blvd to connect with the Bicycle Boulevard. Rides bicycles through the area for transportation 87
and recreation. Applaud any bikeway improvements possible so that infrastructure can be like 88
Copenhagen. Wants improvements on freeway underpass. Noted uncertainties with the freeway 89
ramps. Wished that Lincoln be considered for bikeway improvements. 90
91
Saundra Carscaden, neighborhood resident, wished for more speed limit signs and traffic 92
calming measures. 93
94
Allison Donatello, Lincoln Street resident, favors Alternative 3 above the others. Had questions 95
about the plan for Broad Street south of US 101 once the freeway ramps are closed. 96
97
Kelly and Andy Tungman, Broad Street residents, though not avid bicyclists, are open to 98
improvements for bicyclists. Sees traffic problems with Alternatives 1 and 2. Sees Alternative 3 99
as the most viable for the neighborhood especially given the uncertainty of the freeway ramps. 100
Open to other options. 101
102
Questions and Discussion: 103
Staff answered questions regarding the freeway ramps, the neighborhood and online surveys, 104
costs and phasing of the alternatives. 105
106
Action: 107
CM Roberts motioned recommending Alternative 2 to the City Council as a preferred option for 108
the Bicycle Boulevard. Seconded by CM Espinosa. The motion passed unanimously. 109
110
Agenda Item #2: DRAFT Safe routes to School Plan for Bishop’s Peak and Pacheco 111
Elementary Schools 112
Staff gave a presentation on the Safe Routes to School Plan for Bishop’s Peak and Pacheco 113
Elementary Schools including an update on the public outreach and analysis that has been 114
conducted on the project to date. Over the course of the last year, staff has coordinated with the 115
San Luis Coastal Unified School District, parents, and neighbors on the project. The Plan contains 116
a list of recommended projects and a listing of priority based on community need and cost 117
effectiveness based on benefit. The top projects, as reflected in community input, involve 118
crossings of Foothill Blvd including at Ferrini Rd and Patricia/La Estrada. Most of the projects are 119
pedestrian improvements except for the recommended Class I Path from Ramona Dr to Foothill 120
Blvd. However, this project is not in the 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan. 121
Public Comment: 122
Myron Amerine, resident, commented that a HAWK beacon at Ferrini would be the first in the 123
city and encouraged staff to include enough educational outreach so that people know how to 124
use it. 125
126
Questions and Discussion: 127
Attachment 1, Page 3 of 4
BAC discussion and questions included the relationship of the Plan to the Broad Street Bicycle 128
Boulevard, the Class I Path between Foothill and Ramona as well as the implementation 129

131
Action: 132
CM Wiesenthal made a motion to recommend adoption of the Safe Routes to School Plan for 133
Bishop’s Peak and Pacheco Elementary Schools and to recommend amending the Bicycle 134
Transportation Plan to include the Class I Path between Ramona and Foothill. The motion was 135
seconded by CM Roberts and passed unanimously. 136

(Ord. 1006 - 1 (part), 1984; Ord. 941 - 1 (part), 1982: prior code - 9202.5(F))
17.16.060 Parking Space Requirements.
A. Intent. This section is intended to ensure provision of adequate off-street parking,
considering the demands likely to result from various uses, combinations of uses, and
settings. It is the City's intent, where possible, to consolidate parking and to minimize
the area devoted exclusively to parking and drives when typical demands may be
satisfied more efficiently by shared facilities.
B. Shared parking reduction. Where two or more uses share common parking areas,
the total number of parking spaces required may be reduced by up to 10%, with
approval of an administrative use permit. Where shared parking is located on more
than one parcel, affected parties must record an agreement governing the shared
parking, to the satisfaction of the Director.
C. Mixed-use parking reduction. By approving an administrative use permit, the
Director may reduce the parking requirement for projects sharing parking by up to 20%,
in addition to the shared parking reduction, for a total maximum parking reduction of
30%, upon finding that the times of maximum parking demand from various uses will
not coincide.
D. Mechanical Parking Lifts. In commercial zones and multi-family developments, by
approving an administrative use permit, mechanical parking lifts may be used to satisfy
all or a portion of vehicle parking requirements. Additional surface parking up to 25% of
the required minimum amount of spaces may be required for lift systems unable to
accommodate a range of vehicles including trucks, vans, SUV’s, or large sedans.
Applications submittals shall include any information deemed necessary by the Director
to determine parking can adequately and feasibly be provided and that the following
performance standards can be met and the following findings for approval can be
made:
1. The use of mechanical lift parking results in superior design and implementation
of City goals and policies for infill development.
2. In existing developments and established neighborhoods, mechanical lift parking
will be adequately screened and compatible with the character of surrounding
development; and, in new developments, mechanical lift parking shall comply
with Community Design Guidelines and be compatible and appropriately
considered with overall building and site design.
3. Mechanical lift parking systems shall 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.
4. There exists adequate agreement running with the land that mechanical parking
systems will be safely operated and maintained in continual operation with the
exception of limited periods of maintenance.
5. 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.
E. Automobile trip reduction. By approving an administrative use permit, the Director
may reduce the parking requirement for projects implementing non-auto travel,
Attachment 2, Page 1 of 14
City of San Luis Obispo
March 2015 Zoning Regulations
Page 59
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. These may include, but are not limited to programs such as carsharing, employer-
paid transit passes, cashouts (i.e. trip reduction incentive plans), or off-peak work
hours.
F. Off-site Parking. The Director may, by approving an administrative use permit, allow
some or all of the required parking to be located on a site different from the use. Such
off-site parking shall be within a zone where the use is allowed or conditionally allowed,
or within an office, commercial or manufacturing zone. It shall be within 300 feet of the
use and shall not be separated from the use by any feature that would make pedestrian
access inconvenient or hazardous. The site on which the parking is located shall be
owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the party controlling the use. (Ord. 1006 - 1
(part), 1984; Ord. 941 - 1 (part), 1982: prior code - 9202.5(G))
G. Bicycle and Motorcycle Spaces. Each use or development, which requires 10 or
more spaces, shall provide facilities for parking bicycles and motorcycles as follows:
1. Motorcycle Spaces. Parking for motorcycles shall be provided at the rate of one
space for each 20 car spaces. Projects that provide more motorcycle spaces than
required may reduce the required car spaces at the rate of one car space for each
five motorcycle spaces, up to a 10% reduction, subject to the approval of the
Community Development Director.
2. Bicycle Spaces. Parking for bicycles shall be provided in accordance with Table
6.5. All bicycle spaces shall be located at the ground floor level. Additional City
standards and guidelines for bicycle parking can be found in the City's Engineering
Standards, Community Design Guidelines, and Bicycle Transportation Plan.
Projects which provide more bicycle and/or motorcycle spaces than required may
reduce the required car spaces at the rate of one car space for each five bicycle
spaces, up to a 10% reduction, subject to the approval of the Community
Development Director. All bicycle parking that exceeds the required number of
spaces shall be apportioned between short-term and long-term bicycle spaces as
stipulated by Table 6.5. Any additional bicycle parking provided for residential uses
shall be covered.
H. Downtown Core: Within the Downtown-Commercial (C-D) zone the following parking
standards and incentives shall apply:
1. Parking space reductions noted in items B through E above shall not be
applicable in the C-D zone, as the reduced parking rates established herein are
intended to provide flexibility in meeting parking requirements and rely on the
consolidation of parking.
2. Restaurants, sandwich shops, take-out food, bars, taverns, night clubs, other
food service or entertainment establishments, theaters, auditoriums,
convention halls, and churches: One-half that required in Table 6; provided,
however, that in no case the requirement shall exceed one space per three
hundred fifty square feet gross floor area.
3. Dwellings, motels, hotels and bed and breakfast inns: One-half that required in
Table 6. In order to support and encourage residential uses in the C-D zone,
Attachment 2, Page 2 of 14
City of San Luis Obispo
Zoning Regulations March 2015
Page 60
additional options for meeting parking requirements for residential uses are
available as listed in subsection 7 below.
4. All other uses: One space per five hundred square feet gross floor area.
5. In determining the total number of required spaces, all fractions shall be
rounded to the nearest whole number. Fractions of one-half or greater shall be
rounded to one; fractions less than one-half shall be rounded to zero.
6. For existing buildings, only the parking needed for additions thereto or for
changes in occupancy which increase parking requirement relative to prior
uses shall be required.
7. The parking space requirement may be met by:
a. Providing the required spaces on the site occupied by the use;
b. The director may, by approving an administrative use permit, allow
some or all of the parking to be located on a site different from the use.
Such off-site parking shall not be within a residential zone. It shall be
within reasonable walking distance and no greater than 500 feet of the
use and shall not be separated from the use by any feature that would
make pedestrian access inconvenient or hazardous. The site on which
the parking is located shall be owned, leased or otherwise controlled
by the party controlling the use.
c. Participating in a commonly held and maintained off-site parking lot
where other businesses maintain their required spaces;
d. Participating in a parking district that provides parking spaces through
a fee or assessment program.
e. Participating in an in-lieu fee program as may be established by the
city council. Any parking agreement approved prior to adoption of the
parking standards contained in subsections (1) through (3) of this
section may be adjusted to conform with those standards, subject to
approval by the community development director and city attorney;
f. In order to facilitate housing development in the downtown, the
Director may reduce the parking requirement for any residential
element of a project in the CD district by 10% or one space, whichever
is greater. In allowing this reduction, the Director may require a vehicle
trip reduction plan be submitted for approval and such other conditions
deemed necessary to reduce parking demand. Requests for parking
reductions greater than 10% shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and shall require a use permit. In granting such additional
reduction, the Commission must find that the increased demand for
parking in the Downtown resulting from the project is not significant
due to such considerations as the project's design, location, size or
other features. The Commission may require a trip reduction plan and
other conditions deemed necessary to reduce parking demand.
Attachment 2, Page 3 of 14
City of San Luis Obispo
March 2015 Zoning Regulations
Page 61
I. Requirements by Type of Use. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, for
every structure erected or enlarged and for any land or structure devoted to a new use
requiring more spaces according to the schedule set out in this subsection, the
indicated minimum number of off-street parking spaces located on the site of the use
shall be provided.
The right to occupy and use any premises shall be contingent on preserving the
required parking and maintaining its availability to the intended users, including
residents, staff, and/or customers. In no case may required parking spaces for a use
be rented or leased to off-site uses or used for other purposes.
Parking, in addition to these requirements, may be required as a condition of use
permit approval.
J. Uses Not Listed.
The Director shall determine the parking requirement for uses which are not listed.
His/her determination shall be based on similarity to listed uses, and may be appealed
to the Planning Commission.
K. Parking calculations.
1. The parking requirement is based on the gross floor area of the entire use, unless
stated otherwise.
2. When the calculation of required parking results in a fractional number, it shall be
rounded to the next highest whole number if the fraction is one-half or more;
otherwise it shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number.
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.
L. Tandem parking.
1. For residential uses, when parking spaces are identified for the exclusive use of
occupants of a designated dwelling, required spaces may be arranged in tandem
(that is, one space behind the other) subject to approval of the Community
Development Director. Tandem parking is intended to allow for needed flexibility on
constrained lots or where tandem parking is consistent with the existing
neighborhood pattern. Tandem parking shall not be used to provide for the
conversion of garage spaces.
2. Hotel and Restaurant Projects (New and Existing). Tandem parking may be used
for hotel and restaurant development in the Downtown Commercial (C-D) zone
where parking service is provided, subject to the approval of a Parking
Management Plan by the Public Works and Community Development Directors. A
Parking Management Plan is a document that outlines how site parking will be
regulated and includes provisions to reduce parking demand, including but not
limited to, availability of transit in close proximity, access to a car share program
and access to information regarding alternative transportation programs.
3. Tandem parking may be considered in office development if all of the following
requirements are satisfied:
a. With review of the location and design by the Architectural Review
Commission, where adequate maneuverability and access arrangements are
provided; and
b. When the tandem spaces are set aside for the exclusive use of on-site
employees; and
Attachment 2, Page 4 of 14
City of San Luis Obispo
Zoning Regulations March 2015
Page 62
c. Where the total number of tandem spaces does not exceed 30% of the total
parking provided for projects that require 10 vehicle parking spaces or less,
and 15% of the total parking provided for projects that require 11 or more
vehicle parking spaces; and
d. With the approval of a Parking Management Plan by the Public Works and
Community Development Directors to insure that proper management and
oversight of the use of the proposed tandem spaces will occur.
4. For existing office development where there is a desire to upgrade or modify the
parking layout to increase efficiency or better meet standards, and review by the
Architectural Review Commission would not be required, the approval of new
tandem parking spaces would require the approval of an administrative use permit ,
where adequate maneuverability and access arrangements are provided.

customarily is not screened from public view, such as auto sales or displays at service
stations. The Community Development Director may defer the screening requirement
where the sales or storage is adjacent to vacant land and where it is not visible from a
public street. Such waiver or deferral may be by approval of whatever type of use permit
may be required for the use. If no use permit is required, the waiver or deferral shall be in
writing and shall set forth the circumstances justifying the action. (Ord. 1006 - 1 (part),

Public Comment on the Zoning Update Relative to Transportation
Workshop
Comments
Section 17.16.060 “G” Parking – Bicycle and Motorcycle spaces (parking). This regulation
needs to be updated to reflect the current LUCE 20% mode share. Need to meet that goal.
If there is a vehicle parking required, then bicycle parking is required. If 1 vehicle space,
then 1 bike parking. If 5 vehicle spaces, then 2 bike spaces. If 20 car spaces, then 4 bike
parking spaces minimum.
Pages 63-69: Table 6 Parking Requirements by Use 6 (all 5 spaces) should be updated to
conform with LUCE 20% mode share for bicycles. Each use type should include bicycle
parking requirements. Each use type should include employee and visitor parking for
bicyclists who work and visit the site. These bicycle parking requirements should be
included throughout all of Table 6.
Bicycle parking facilities have to be variable in design. One type of bicycle rack design does
not work for the many various bike types. Bike racks should be designed to conform with
bicycles with baskets, cargo bicycles, electric bicycles, etc. Bike parking should be secure
and safe. Bike racks design in the city should provide for at least 4-5 design types
I support more bicycle parking downtown: both temporary for customers and visitors to
government buildings and long-term for residents and employees. Parking needs to be
convenient, secure, and served by bike routes and paths where people of all abilities feel
safe. We need parklets with bike parking to encourage people to travel downtown on bikes.
I support moving most vehicle parking to garages so there’s more room or bikes and
people. Bicyclists want to park their bikes as close as possible to their destination for
convenience and to keep an eye on the bike. A wider variety of parking spaces is needed to
accommodate a variety of bikes: tandems, adult recycles, recumbents, bikes with trailers
and electric bikes. The downtown plan is going in the right direction. Public space is for
people, not cars and parking spaces. The exceptions are delivery vehicles and spaces for
disabled individuals and chop-off spaces for the elderly and families with young children.
More and denser housing downtown is fine to encourage biking, walking, and transit.
Reduce requirements for car parking at residential units, but require bike/car sharing and
incentives to bike/walk/take transit
Small sets of bike racks everywhere, 2-3 per block.
Vehicle and bike parking should reflect 20% mode share.
City-owned bike share program (card swipe): try a pilot program.
Put bike parking requirements in Table 6.
Make Table 6 easier to understand!
Make bike parking requirements easier to understand.
Parking reduction for bike racks should be eliminated.
Bike offsets that work well include fix-it stations, bike shops, locked bike parking, staked
bike parking, and free bike tubes.
More bike parking to replace on-street car parking.
As long as there are parking meters for autos, there should be parking meters for bikes and
motorcycles.

Interviews
Parking reduction for bike racks should be eliminated.
Bike offsets that work well include fix-it stations, bike shops, locked bike parking, staked
bike parking, and free bike tubes.
Better/more public transportation is needed, including better use of Amtrak (i.e., Santa
Barbara/Ventura model).
We need smaller buses or dial-a-ride vans.
I do not want through traffic through the San Luis Drive neighborhood: 1) Grand Avenue
extending across SLO Creek by Monday Club and 2) road connecting Alta behind the high
school into Johnson Avenue neighborhoods.
We need buses off Ramona (and on Foothill).

Enforce bike rules on the road!

A GUIDE FOR
DOG
WALKERS
How to make the most of your park
or open space visit.
Provided to you by:
Trapper and his owner at Laguna Lake Dog Park
Bring a leash and spare pet waste disposal
bags.
Head out early on days that are forecast to
be hot. Your furry friend is a lot closer to the
ground than you are, and it’s much warmer
there.
Bring plenty of water for your pooch and
yourself, especially on warm days.
Be aware of your dog’s ability and general
fitness level.
Be prepared to carry out and properly dispose
of your dog’s waste.
Off-leash dogs are allowed at this
location:

Some people are uncomfortable around dogs.
Be mindful of your dog so that other park
visitors are not anxious about their safety.
Be cautious around cattle. Some are startled
by sudden movement or noise.
Pet waste on the trail can ruin an otherwise
pleasant visit to the parks. Always clean up
after your dog.
Leashed and controlled pets are less likely to
get into altercations with other animals.
Keep your dog licensed. That could help you
find your pet if it’s ever lost.
Make sure that your dog gets the mandatory
vaccinations and check for other health
problems regularly.
An unleashed dog could encounter poison
oak, cactus, ticks, coyotes, rattlesnakes, or
other natural hazards. For example, poison
oak can transfer from your dog to you or
another hiker.
Please be a responsible pet
owner by leashing and
cleaning up after your dog.
It will make your outing more
enjoyable for you and
everyone else.
It starts with respect…
Respect Parks and Open Space
Clean up after your dog. Pet waste can
include bacteria and parasites that
can threaten the health of our open space
and the wildlife that lives in it.
Leash your dog. When dogs are allowed to
run loose, they often flush birds and animals
out of their habitats. The fleeing animals use
valuable energy trying to escape, and those
lost calories could be needed to survive or
raise young. Dogs sometimes also dig after
burrowing animals, destroying their homes.
Keep an eye on your dog at all times. You are
responsible for your dog’s behavior.
