"NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND INSTRUCTING TilE CITY
CLERK TO FILE A NOTICE OF DETERMINATION
WHEREASj the City of Arroyo Grande received applications from ARCO to construct a gas
station and mini-market for property located at 100 Barnett Street in the HC zoning district,
including applications for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 92-504, Lot Line Adjustment Case No.
92-506, Variance Case No. 92-170, Planned Sign Progtam Case No. 92-107 and Variance Case
No. 92-174;
WHEREAS, on March 2, 1993, the Planning Commission and Traffic Commission held a joint
meeting to review traffic issues;
WHEREAS, on April 6, 1993 and May 4, 1993 the Planning Commission held public hearings
to review and consider the project;
WHEREAS, on May 4, 1993 the Planning Commission approved the above applications subject
to mitigation measures and conditions of approval by adopting Resolutions 93-1411, 93-1412, 93-
1413, 9~-1414. and 93-1415;
WHEREAS, on May 25, 1993, the applicant appealed to the City Council to amend Planning
Commission approved conditions of approval and mitigation measures;
WHEREAS, on June 22. 1993, August 24, 1993, September 14, 1993 and September 28, 1993,
the City Council held public hearings to review said appeal;
WHEREAS, on Sept~mber 14, 1993, the City Council made an intent to delete condition of
approval 9 of COhdltional Use Permit Case No. 92-504 and related applications, and modify
conditions of approval 8a and 27, and mitigation measures 7 and 8 of Conditional Use Permit Case
No. ?2-504 and related applications;
WHEREAS, based on the application materials, the various oral and written staff reports, the
expanded initial study, testimony at the public meetings and hearings, decision of the Planning
Commission, and written correspondence, the City Council adopts the findings of the Planning
Commission with the following modified and/or additional findings:
1. The modified mitigation measures as outlined on AUachment "B" will not result in
significant impacts on the envirorunent. The City Council finds that amended Mitigation
Measure No. 7 which requires the applicant to pay $17,128 toward mitigation of
cumulative traffic impacts is sufficient to mitigate ARCO's traffic impact. The City
Council also finds that amended Mitigation Measure No. 8 will mitigate problems
associated with potential traffic stacking along Grand A venue due to the ARCO project.
2. The intent of General Plan Policy 8.1(b) is to maintain or enhance traffic flows over all,
and in particular on key routes and intersections; that while one movement in the Barnett-
Grand intersection would drop below current capacities, curing this particular problem
would adversely affect a principal through route and key freeway interchange; and that this
problem will likely persist regardless of the land use proposed for the subject site.

3. The amendment of condition of approval No. 8a of Conditional Use Permit Case No. 92-
504 and related cases, will not significantly effect the level of service at the Barnett-Grand
intersection.
4. The deletion of condition of approval No.9, and the modification of conditions of approval
No. 27 of Conditional Use Permit Case No. 92-504 and related cases will not increase
traffic safety problems along Grand Avenue.
". 5. The proposed use with the amended conditions of approval and mitigation measures will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare or materially il\iurious to
properties and improvements in the vicinity.
6. Based on the expanded initial study with the proposed amendments, the project will not
result in significant impacts on the environment, pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's Rules and Procedures for Implementation of CEQA.
