WHEREAS, the City of Arroyo Grande has received applications from Roger Fuller to
- construct a second residential unit at 840 Farroll Avenue in the SF, Single Family wne; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande held a duly noticed
public hearing on the project on July 7, 1992; and
WHEREAS, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the Planning Commission
approved the application for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 92-501 and the associated
architectural review; and
WHEREAS, an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision was filed on July 27,
1992 by Anita and Jerry Martin and 18 adjacent neighbors; and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the
aforementioned appeal on August 25, 1992, at which time all interested persons were given the
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the City Council referred the application back to the Planning Commission
to explore design changes; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission referred the project to the Architectural Advisory
Committee, who worked with the applicant and the affected neighbors to achieve a project
- design that would minimize impacts on the neighbors; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after reviewing the project changes
recommended by the Architectural Advisory Committee, could not arrive at a consensus to
provide a recommendation on the changes to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the
aforementioned appeal and the design changes on February 9, 1993, at which time all interested
persons were given the opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande City Council received numerous letters from the public
concerning this project, that were read and considered by the Council; and
WHEREAS, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the City Council makes
the following findings of fact:
l. The proposed structure would unreasonably and unnecessarily interfere with the scenic
view from other properties, and there are alternatives that would permit complete use and
development of the property on which the proposed structure or expansion is to occur.
The basis for the finding is that because the property is so large there are other areas on
- the property that would allow construction of the proposed second residential unit. This
finding is also based on the Council's observation of the property and the size of the lot. .
2. The height and design of the current building, on which the proposed structure would be
added, would cause the proposed structure to be out of character with the neighborhood.
Therefore the proposed structure does violate the intent of Development Code Section
9-03.130 in that it is not consistent with the established scale or character of the
neighborhood and it will unreasonably and unnecessarily affect views of the surrounding
properties when there are alternatives.
