1. The proposed use is permitted within the subject district pursuant to the provisions
of this Development Code, and complies with all the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, and the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the
development policies and standards of the City. The site is designated General
Commercial in the Land Use Element and Policy 3.1a allows commercial recreation
centers. Policy 6.7a-d requires the enhancement of pedestrian activity, through
street furniture, incorporation of a main visual focus, which in this case is the large
oak tree and waterscape, and the project provides pedestrian walkways. Policies
6.11 and 6.13 have been met through the design of the building and facilities. The
project is also consistent with Policy 2.31 of the Parks and Recreation Element in
that it encourages development of a bowling alley.
2. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of development that is proposed
because all required parking and landscaping and drainage facilities can be
provided.
3. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in
which it is to be established or located.
4. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity because adequate
measures have been incorporated into the conditions of approval of the project to
mitigate potential adverse effects.
5. The design and layout of the proposed use is suitable because design revisions
recommended in the FEIR have been incorporated in the project design and the
design meets all City requirements for parking and landscaping.
6. The project will not have an environmental impact because an Environmental
Impact Report has been prepared on the project and all signi�cant adverse impacts
identified in the report have been mitigated to a level of insignificance.

1. If grading occurs after November 15 and before April 15, all areas
disturbed by grading shall receive the following treatment: 1) provide
appropriate surface drainage facilities to prevent erosion (e.g.,
diversion ditches, catch basins, berms, jute net on 2:1 slopes), 2) a
non-irrigated hydroseed mixture shall be applied prior to November 15th
of the year to benefit from early Fall rains, and 3) non-irrigated
hydroseed mixture shall include Lasthenia glabrata, Bromus mollis,
Dimorphotheca aurantiaca, Eschscholtzia californica, and Trifolium
hirtum.
Time Frame: Prior to November 15th and between November 15 and April 15.
Responsible Department/Agency: Building Department
2. If grading occurs in between April 15 and November 15, all areas
disturbed by grading shall receive the following treatment: 1) provide
appropriate surface drainage facilities to prevent erosion (e.g.,
diversion ditches, catch basins, berms, jute net on 2:1 slopes), 2)an
irrigated hydroseed mixture shall be applied upon completion of grading
operations, 3) a temporary, above ground supplemental irrigation shall
be installed to germinate and establish a vegetative cover, and 4) an
irrigated hydroseed mixture shall include Trifolium repens, Lotus
corniculatus, Trifolium O'Conners, Trifolium Salina Strawberry, and
Coastal Wildflower Mix.
Time Frame: Between April 15 and November 15.
Responsible Department/Agency: Building Department
3. Al1 permanent slopes shall be planted pursuant to the approved landscape
plans and all slopes 2:1 or greater shall be stabilized with jute mesh
or equal, prior to planting.
Time Frame: Prior to final occupancy.
Responsible Department/Agency: Building Department, Parks and Recreation
Department
4. All grading shall comply with the provisions of the City of Arroyo
Grande Grading Ordinance sections 7-1.09 through 7-1.13.
Time Frame: Prior to issuance of grading permits and during grading
Responsible Department/Agency: Public Works Department, Building
Department
5. The final grading plan shall reflect grades that do not entail cut or
fill within the dripline of the existing oak trees. No grading will
occur within the dripline of the existing oak trees. Prior to start of
any grading, grubbing, or construction on the site, all existing oak
trees shall be completely surrounded by a five (5) foot high chain link
or vinyl fence installed at the dripline of the trees. No parking,
storage, or mechanical trenching should occur within the dripline of the
1
trees. City Ordinance 431 C.S. has other specific requirements for tree
removal and protection which shall be adhered to. Other requirements of
the ordinance for bonding, arborist review, and replacements for trees
removed would also apply.
Time Frame: Prior to the start of any grubbing, grading, or construction, and
ongoing during construction.
Responsible Department/Agency: Public Works Department, Parks and
Recreation Department, Building Department
6. The final grading plan shall address drainage behind the building at the
base of the slope bank at the property line to ensure the building is
protected from storm water runoff. This may require a concrete swale,
as the least disruptive alternative to convey water around the building.
Time Frame: Prior to issuance of building or grading permits
Responsible Department/Agency:
DrainaQe
Public Works Department
7. The applicant shall mitigate project drainage impacts using one of the
following methods:
A. The project may correct the downstream drainage
deficiencies. This could solve some existing problems and at the
same time maximize the area of the project available for
development.
B. The project may store rainwater runoff from the project
on-site. City standards require basins to be sized to accommodate
storage for a 100 year storm. The basin as proposed will not
provide improvement to the downstream drainage system. It will be
necessary to provide additional storage to this basin to allow for
rainwater retention for the two lots fronting on Grand Avenue and
the volume recommended by E.D.A..
C. With City approval, the applicant may do a combination of A
and B, if the City and applicant agree that downstream
improvements in combination with on-site detention basin(s) are
viable mitigations. Credit could be given for historic runoff
flows from the undeveloped site in the form of a reduced
requirement for storage. The quantity of credit for such flow and
the resulting volume would have to be quantified by the developer
and approved by the City. The reduced requirement for storage
would depend on the extent of the downstream improvements. In the
extreme case, if improvements to all elements of the downstream
system were completed to an appropriate standard, storage could be
eliminated completely. On the other hand, improvements to only
one deficient element of the system may not be justification for a
reduction in required storage volume for this project due to
increased allowable discharge since the remaining deficient
elements might still be adversely impacted.
Time Frame: Prior to issuance of building or grading permits
Responsible Department/Agency: Public Works Department
8. If retention basins are installed, the applicant shall construct safety
fencing around the basin.
Time Frame: Prior to issuance final occupancy.
Responsible Department/Agency: Building Department
9. If retention basins are installed, a safe overland spillway shall be
included in the design and construction to allow for safe disposal of
water should the basin capacity be exceeded.
Time Frame: Prior to issuance of building or grading permits for design and
prior to final occupancy for construction.
Responsible Department/Agency: Public Works Department, Building
Department
10. One proposed alternative is to constr,uct the retention basin to store
the runoff in underground structures. Under such a proposal, these
structures would probably be located under parking or landscaped areas.
Because the underground structure would not be accessible for
maintenance, a silt and oil trap must be installed and maintained
upstream of inlets to the storage structure. Establishment of a program
for operation and maintenance must be included as a condition to the
approval of such an alternative.

11. If a terminal retention basin is included in the project then it must be
maintained. Indicators should be installed in the basin to show the
depth of collected silt. When the silt reaches a predetermined depth
the basin should be cleaned.
Time Frame: Prior to final occupancy and ongoing.

*24. The maximum roof height shall be lowered from elevation 144.0 to under
140.0 to maintain a major portion of the views to the south from
surrounding residences. This reduction can be accomplished using one or
both of the following methods:
A. The building should be analyzed by the project architect to
determine the minimum feasible building height that still provides
adequate ceiling height, depth for structural trusses for the
spans involved, and a four or five foot parapet.
B. The final project grading design should investigate the
feasibility of lowering the building floor elevation. Although
the floor elevation is controlled to some extent by the grades at
the existing oak, it is possible to lower grades outside the drip
line and actually retain the tree in a low walled planter.
