Associate Planner McClish presented the staff report and recommended the Council adopt a
Resolution to amend the Land Use Element (Land Use Map) of the General Plan to change the
land use designation for the subject properties to Conservation/Open Space and Single Family —
Very Low Density Planned Development. Associate Planner McClish responded to questions
from Council regarding the slopes on the site, density bonuses, and clarification on land use
designations.
Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing.
Holly Covington, Noyes Road, stated she resides directly across the street from the proposed
development. She expressed concerns about chemical drift and resulting impacts to wildlife. She
opposed any development in this area.
Dean Burto, rural Arroyo Grande, expressed concerns regarding a number of potential negative
impacts to the existing woodlands, wildlife habitat, and Meadow Creek as noted by a
representative from the Nature Conservancy who visited the site, and he asked what the
developer was going to do to mitigate these impacts.
Mayor Ferrara clarified the nature of a General Plan Amendment as it relates to environmental
analysis. He explained that there is no pending application for a development project on the site.
He further explained that if the applicant decides in the future to submit a project to the City, then
a further detailed project specific environmental analysis would be conducted and at that time
mitigation measures would be considered to address environmental impacts.
Pam Burto, rural Arroyo Grande, stated that when they purchased their property, they were
under the impression that the property in question would remain as open space. She opposed
any development on the site.
Charlotte Singleton, Cuesta del Sol, referred to the existing water tank and stated if the tank
were to rupture, it would drain downhill to Noyes Road. She stated this was an important factor
to think about when considering development of this property. She referred to removal and
replanting of oak trees of which four have died. She opposed development of the site.
Mike Laprade, Noyes Road, expressed concerns about the number of homes being proposed
considering the slope of the property. He expressed concerns specifically about Noyes Road as
it relates to the existing curve and adding additional traffic. He spoke in opposition to the
development of 21 homes on the property.
Jeff Auerbach, Noyes Road, expressed concerns about proposed lot sizes, traffic safety issues,
the potential for groundwater contamination for those homes currently on wells, and stated that
the schools are already overcrowded. He stated that there were many impacts that would have
to be mitigated if a project were to move forward.
Janice Lanrade, Noyes Road, expressed concerns about traffic and circulation on Noyes Road,
and opposed development at the proposed density.
Louis Rosenbera, rural Arroyo Grande, agreed with the comments expressed relating to
congestion and environmental impacts and spoke about the rural aesthetics of the area. He
opposed placing 21 houses in this area stating it would change the look and feel of the entire
neighborhood.
Upon hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing
Council Member Costello reiterated that there was no development project before the Council
this evening and that the Council was only considering the General Plan land use designation.

He spoke about General Plan land use designation versus zoning. He explained that there was
a proposal to amend the existing land use designation of the subject property. He acknowledged
the concerns expressed by the public and stated they were all important issues many of which
will be addressed when a development project comes forward. He reviewed the General Plan
Amendment findings, referred to several specific supporting policies and objectives from the
City's Land Use Element and stated that the findings were consistent with the General Plan and
he could support redesignating this property from Low Density to Very Low Density. He stated
that this would allow up to a maximum of 21 dwelling units; however, a significant part of the
development review process would likely be a project specific EIR which would address all
environmental concerns.
Council Member Dickens referred to the 2001 General Plan EIR and highlighted areas
concerning water resources and cumulative impact issues relating to the subject property, as
well as issues relating to slopes, grading, groundwater and biological resources. He supported
the redesignation of the subject property to Very Low Density Residential.
Council Member Runels stated his focus would be on the City's water resources; however, he
felt the property owner has the right to petition the City to change the zoning. He stated the City
was getting close to its water capacity and until the City develops more water supply projects, he
would not be interested in any large developments in the City and could support the proposed
land use designation.
Mayor Ferrara also referred to the 2001 General Plan Program EIR and agreed with the
concerns expressed relating to the Noyes Road property. He stated that as the City grows
toward its rural fringe, there needs to be an appropriate transition of land use. He emphasized
smart growth principles which concentrates development in urban areas where infrastructure
already exists. He supported reducing the density on the subject property.
Council Member Costello moved to adopt a Resolution approving General Plan Amendment 04-
002 for a change in land use designation from Conservation/Open Space and Single Family
Residential -Low Density Planned Development to Conservation/Open Space and Single Family -
Very Low Density Planned Development for an approximate 53-acre property located on the
south side of Noyes Road at the northwest edge of the City limits in the Rancho Grande Planned
Development (1.2), City of Arroyo Grande (Castlerock Development). Council Member Dickens
seconded the motion, and on the following roll -call vote:
AYES: Costello, Dickens, Runels, Ferrara
NOES: None

11.a. Consideration of Appointment to San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund
Commission.
City Manager Adams presented the staff report and recommended the Council appoint Associate
Planner Kelly Heffernon to the San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund (HTF) Commission.
Council Member Dickens asked if a Planning Commissioner could be appointed to the HTF
Commission. City Manager Adams responded yes.
Mayor Ferrara opened the item for public comment, and upon hearing none, he closed the public
comment period.
Council Member Runels supported the recommended action
Council Member Dickens suggested an alternate proposal to appoint a Planning Commissioner
to the HTF Commission due to the fact that the HTF Commission is making policy decisions.
Council Member Costello stated he had no objection to appointing a staff member or a Planning
Commissioner.
Mayor Pro Tern Lubin stated he had no objection to appointing a staff member. He referred to
the letter from Gerald Rioux, HTF Executive Director, which indicated that this is a detail oriented
Commission. He commented that staff might have more technical expertise to provide to the
HTF Commission.
Mayor Ferrara asked if there was a mechanism in place to delay and/or refer HTF Commission
issues to the Planning Commission before voting on an issue. City Manager Adams responded
yes and that policy related issues could be directed to the Planning Commission.
Mayor Ferrara asked if there could be more than one representative on the HTF Commission.
City Manager Adams responded he could follow up with the HTF Commission.
Council Member Dickens stated that it would be an opportunity to broaden the scope of the
Planning Commission's responsibility.
Mayor Ferrara agreed in concept with Council Member Dickens; however, he acknowledged
Associate Planner Heffernon's knowledge and expertise with the Housing Task Force. He
suggested designating a primary and an alternate to the HTF Commission.
Following further discussion, Mayor Pro Tern Lubin moved to appoint Kelly Heffernon to the San
Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund Commission with a Planning Commissioner as
Alternate as designated by the Planning Commission. Council Member Runels seconded the

11.b. Consideration of Water Supply Alternatives Study Recommendations
Director of Public Works Spagnolo presented the staff report and stated that it was
recommended the Council provide direction to staff on the following options: 1) Pursue an
agreement to utilize unused groundwater from other agencies participating in the Groundwater
Management; 2) Prepare for City Council consideration a change to a tiered water rate structure;
3) Proceed with selection of a design consultant for Well No. 10 located on Deer Trail Circle; 4)
Pursue an agreement with Plains Exploration and Production Company for Reclaimed Price
Canyon Oil Field water; 5) Develop a request for proposal to select a consultant to perform a
groundwater study in cooperation with the parties to the Groundwater Management Agreement;
6) Develop a request for proposal with other interested agencies to select a consultant to
prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the Nacimiento Water Project; and 7)
Pursue further discussions with Santa Barbara County agencies regarding potential purchase of
State Water. Director Spagnolo and Tom Zender, representing Wallace Group, responded to
questions from Council.
Mayor Ferrara opened up the item for public comment.
Steve Ross, Arroyo Grande, referred to discussions regarding plumbing retrofitting and asked if
conservation programs had been developed to cut down on the use of water in the City. He
suggested investigating a program implemented by Marin County to mandate replacement of
toilets to low -flow toilets upon the sale of property.
Jim Guthrie, Arroyo Grande, commented that the Plains project seemed like an obvious option to
pursue. Additionally, he suggested that the Council reconsider the tiered water rate structure
option.
Upon hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the item to public comment
Council Member Runels supported pursuing all options and stated that Option D (pursuing an
agreement with Plans Exploration and Production Company for Reclaimed Price Canyon Oil
Field Water) was the most feasible option.
Council Member Costello supported pursuing all recommended options and stated it would be
prudent to look at short, medium, and long-term solutions to address and solve water usage
issues.
Council Member Dickens supported options A (pursuing an agreement to utilize unused
groundwater from other agencies participating in the Groundwater Management Agreement); B
(preparing for City Council consideration a change to a tiered water rate structure); and C
(proceeding with selection of a design .consultant for Well No. 10 located on Deer Trail Circle).
He stated he was not prepared to move forward on options D, E, F, & G until additional
information was available and presented. He supported continuing to pursue water conservation
efforts. He suggested continuing this item, and moving forward with some of the intermediate
solutions, such as looking at the tiered water rate structure.
Mayor Pro Tern Lubin stated it was important to look at what the City's responsibilities are in the
long-term and how we can best prepare for the future. He commented that it was important to
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
AUGUST 24, 2004
PAGE 8
look at all options and the costs of those options. He stated his only concern was option E, a
consultant study of the groundwater, because there were so many studies that have been done
and no conclusions have been made. He referred to option B and stated that there was need to
look at a tiered water rate structure quickly. He also agreed with public comments made
regarding plumbing retrofit requirements upon sale of property and encouraged investigating this
suggestion. He concluded by stating that he supported pursuing options A through G.
Following further discussion on current water conservation programs and implementing a tiered
water rate structure, staff was directed to provide data on how effective the retrofit program has
been with regard to reducing per capita water consumption and data on how effective tiered
water rate structures are in reducing water consumption.
City Manager Adams explained that this was a starting point and that more extensive information
regarding all of these options would come back to Council before considering any final approval
of the options.
Mayor Ferrara stated he was not comfortable moving forward with option B to implement a tiered
water rate structure unless it was preceded by a significant public outreach and education effort.
He referred to options E and F and suggested that instead of moving forward to develop
requests for proposals, that the City pursue further discussions on these options to determine the
feasibility of moving forward with these options. He concurred with Council Member Runels
about immediately pursuing option D, an agreement with Plans Exploration and Production
Company for Reclaimed Price Canyon Oil Field Water. He commented it was important to keep
this item moving to address both short and long term needs.
Council Member Costello moved to direct staff to: A) Pursue an agreement to utilize unused
groundwater from other agencies participating in the Groundwater Management Agreement; B)
Prepare for City Council consideration a change to a tiered water rate structure, to include public
education efforts before implementation of a change in the water rate structure; C) Proceed with
selection of a design consultant for Well No. 10 located on Deer Trail Circle; D) Pursue an
agreement with Plains Exploration and Production Company for Reclaimed Price Canyon Oil
Field Water; E) Pursue further discussions as to the feasibility of performing a groundwater study
in cooperation with the parties to the Groundwater Management Agreement; F) Pursue further
discussions with other interested agencies to select a consultant to prepare a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report for the Nacimiento Water Project; and G) Pursue further
discussions with Santa Barbara County agencies regarding potential purchase of State Water, all
of which are contingent upon staff taking steps to bring back additional information before any
definitive actions are taken. Mayor Pro Tern Lubin seconded the motion, and on the following
roll -call vote:
AYES: Costello, Lubin, Runels, Dickens, Ferrara
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
There being 5 AYES and 0 NOES, the motion is hereby declared to be passed.
11.c. Consideration of a Formal Position on Halcyon / Highway 1 Realignment Project by
the County.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
AUGUST 24, 2004
PAGE 9
Director of Public Works Spagnolo presented the staff report and recommended the City Council:
1) review the information regarding the road alignment project at the intersection of Halcyon
Road and Highway 1 by the County; and 2) provide direction to staff if the Council desires to take
a position concerning this project. Director Spagnolo and Dale Ramey, representing the County
Public Works Department, responded to questions from Council.
Mayor Ferrara opened the item for public comment.
Fred Baur, Arroyo Grande, referred to the map and stated that Halcyon should have a straighter
alignment than what is being proposed. He commented on the regional traffic problems and the
need for an interchange at Brisco/101.
Upon hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public comment period.
Council Member Dickens explained that he brought this item forward for Council consideration
and he would like to provide the County with the City's position on placing a higher value on the
agricultural resources within the Arroyo Grande Valley. He stated that he felt if the County was
going to move forward with Alternative 1, there should be greater efforts placed on appropriate
mitigation and suggesting a one-to-one ratio for the replacement of agriculture land.
Council Member Runels referred to Alternative 2 and commented that obtaining the required
permits from the various regulatory agencies to work in the creek would extend the construction
of the project by several years. He referred to Alternative 1 and acknowledged that it would take
some farmland; however, he thought something needed to be done to relieve the congestion at
this location.
Council Member Costello acknowledged that there was an existing circulation problem; however,
the County's proposed solution to the problem will add to the City's circulation problems. He
suggested directing staff to request an EIR be prepared as there will be significant impacts
resulting from this project. He also recommended that the City request appropriate mitigation for
the loss of any agriculture land, whether from Alternative 1 or 2, and that it be a one-to-one
replacement of agriculture land.
Mayor Pro Tern Lubin commented that there would continue to be traffic problems whether this
project was implemented or not. He agreed that the City's formal position should include letting
the County know the City's concerns with the taking of agriculture land; with the dumping of
traffic into Arroyo Grande; suggesting that the County prepare an EIR; and the cumulative
problems at the 101/Brisco Interchange.
Mayor Ferrara supported sending a letter to Supervisor Achadjian and the Board of Supervisors
expressing the City's request that the County responsibly address the community's concerns.
He stated that extra efforts should be made to explore the environmental impacts and an EIR is
a must for this project. He stated that as far as the alignment itself, he felt it should be a
straighter approach, and that the County should investigate other alignment options that will
have less impact on existing agriculture land.
Council Member Costello moved to direct staff to convey to the County that the City would like to
see an EIR prepared on this project; recommend that mitigation measures for the loss of
agricultural land should include a one -for -one replacement or permanent preservation of
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
AUGUST 24, 2004
PAGE 10
agricultural land off -site of the project; should include the Council's belief that the proposed
improvement of this intersection will exacerbate existing regional traffic problems in Arroyo
Grande that stem from traffic coming from the Mesa; and that the County should explore
alternatives that would take less farmland. Mayor Pro Tern Lubin seconded the motion, and on
the following roll -call vote:
AYES: Costello, Lubin, Runels, Dickens, Ferrara
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
There being 5 AYES and 0 NOES, the motion is hereby declared to be passed.
