MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ANGELA KRAETSCH, DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICE
BY: FRANCES R. HEAD, ACCOUNTING SUSPERVISOR 'tl'
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT DEPOSITS
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council receive and file the attached report listing the current
investment deposits of the City of Arroyo Grande, as of September 30, 2007, as required by
Government Code Section 53646(b).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no funding impact to the City related to this report. However, the City does receive
interest revenue based on the interest rate of the investment(s).
BACKGROUND:
This report represents the City's investments as of September 30, 2007. It includes all
investments managed by the City, the investment institution, investment type, book value,
maturity date, and rate of interest. As of September 30, 2007, the investment portfolio was in
compliance with all State laws and the City's investment policy.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Recommended Alternative -Approve staff's recommendation to receive and file the
attached report listing the current investment deposits.
- Do not approve staff's recommendation

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Govemment Code Section 53646 requires the Director of Financial Services to submit to the City

2. Financial institution (bank, savings and loan, broker, etc).
3. Date of maturity.
4. Principal amount.
U:\MSWORD\CITY COUNCIL FORMS\INVESTMENT FORMS\CC Standard Staff Report-InvestmeMS.doc Q L ~ 1
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT DEPOSITS
OCTOBER 23, 2007
PAGE 2
5. Rate of interest.
6. Current market value for all securities having a maturity of more than 12 months.
7. Relationship of the monthly report to the annual statement of investment policy.
ADVANTAGES:
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments are undertaken in a
manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
DISADVANTAGES:
Some level of risk is present in any investment transaction. Losses could be incurred due to
market price changes, technical cash flow complications such as the need to withdraw a non-
negotiable Time Certificate of Deposit early, or even the default of an issuer. To minimize such
risks, diversifications of the investment portfolio by institution and by investment instruments are
being used as much as is practical and prudent.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, October 18, 2007. The Agenda and
report were posted on the City's website on Friday, October 19, 2007. No public comments
were received

the site would be energy efficient with adequate shields, Director Spagnolo responded that the bid

down. Mayor Ferrara requested that staff follow up and ensure the lighting fixtures are energy
efficient with a reduced glare to mitigate impacts to the neighboring homes.

Minutes: City Council Meeting Page 4
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Michael Peachev, representing the applicant, gave an overview of the proposed project using a 3-D
model simulation and outlined the main issues associated with the project and efforts made to
improve the project.
Council questions and discussion ensued regarding parking requirements and configurations;
maintenance near the creek; ceiling height of the parking structure; pedestrian access to the creek;
elimination of the gate; distance of the pedestrian path from the back of the proposed residences,
and whether screening would be installed; the access easement agreement; designation of existing
structures as State historical resources; the strength of the Bridge Street culvert in the event of a
flood; street width; and lighting within the project.
Duane DeBlauw, project applicant, responded to questions and clarified issues regarding the trees
along Crown Terrace; intersection improvements at Le Point and Crown Terrace (does not see
nexus for improvements at the northwest corner); the proposed width of Le Point Street; and mixed
use parking requirements. He expressed concern about conditions requiring the adjacent property
owners to register their building as a historical resource with the State and enforcing green build
requirements.
Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing
Debbie and Bill Murphy expressed concerns about the project's impact on their two residential
zoned properties located on the triangular piece between E. Branch and Crown Hill, including loss
of their quiet, residential neighborhood; loss of off-street parking; the length of construction; that
their properties would be surrounded by commercial/mixed-use and could affect their property
values; and noise from the project. They expressed concern about their inability to convert their
properties to commercial in the future due to increased commercial use and traffic in the area. Mrs.
Murphy expressed concern that they did not receive notice of the neighborhood meetings. She
suggested the City consider a zone change to commercial for their lots; and referred to a historic
100-year wall along E. Branch that could present problems for access to a future commercial
development and suggested moving the wall to the proposed project between the residential portion
and the pedestrian path to address the privacy issue. She also suggested the placement of a stop
sign at E. Branch and Crown Hill to mitigate project traffic impacts.
Camay Arad, E. Branch Street business owner, expressed appreciation to the Council for denying
the first project and to the applicant for their perseverance in coming forward with an improved
project which will provide plenty of parking for the businesses and residences. She requested that
something be included in writing that the water main would not get turned off during construction.
She further expressed hope that,the barn would be repainted as depicted in the proposed drawings.
Barbara Freel referred to the southeast corner of Le Point Street and Crown Terrace and expressed
concern that portions of her property are designated as public right of way on a City map. She also
expressed concern that she and others in the neighborhood did not receive notice of tonight's public
hearing.
Susan Flores, E. Branch Street, spoke in support of the revised project; supported the addition of
pedestrian pathways; liked the mixed-use component; noted that the Historical Resources
Committee is now in place to assist in evaluating properties for historical designation; and stated
that there are remedies available for the Murphy's to address potential parking issues.
Mike McConville, E. Branch Street, observed that the area is in transition; noted that the applicants
have made great effort to address all the concerns expressed; and spoke in support of the project.
Caren Rav, Miller Way, encouraged the Council to discuss and possibly add creek access via a
footpath to the proposed development.
Debbie Murphy reiterated that their main concern is noise from the project as it relates to the
proximity of the residences on Crown Hill to the commercial buildings and courtyard on E. Branch.

Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing.
Council comments and discussion ensued concerning revisions and improvements to the proposed
project as it relates to size and scale, vehicular access and parking, and saving and/or replacing
trees; pedestrian access to the creek within the project; promoting green build practices; registration
of buildings as historical resources; street and intersection improvements associated with the
project; that rezoning of the residential property across the street on Crown Terrace is a separate
issue from this project; support for adding a condition (#116) to require the applicant to provide
evidence of all easements necessary for unimpeded public access to the project site, as shown on
the project plans; a suggestion that the placement of a gate between the residential and commercial
uses would be evaluated after a certain period of time; support for use of bioswales; and support for
a monument that designates the historic significance of the railway.
Action: Mayor Pro Tem Arnold moved td adopt a Resolution as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF THE

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
BY:
CITY COUNCIL
DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SHANE TAYLOR AND JOY CASTAING
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE SEWER SYSTEM
MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSMP)
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. approve the draft Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) in accordance with
the State Water Resources Control Board Statewide General Waste Discharge
Requirements (WDR) Order No. 2006-0003-DWO; and
2. direct staff to continue with the implementation of the SSMP.
FUNDING:
Preparation of the SSMP is funded through the Public Works operating budget from the
Sewer fund. As long-term goals are identified, any cost changes will be for Council
consideration.
DISCUSSION:
On May 2, 2006, the State Water Quality Control Board adopted Order No. 2006-0003-
DWO adding new regulations to control sanitary sewer overflows. The Order placed
three new requirements on the City. The primary requirement of the order obligated the
City to apply for coverage under the new Statewide system. The second obligation
required the City to begin reporting sewer system operations using an electronic
reporting database system. The final obligation required the City of Arroyo Grande to
draft a SSMP in accordance with the Statewide General WDR.
The draft SSMP requires implementation of specific programs to be completed in a
phased-in process, prior to the August 2, 2009: Phase I, including a draft Schedule,
SSMP Goals, and City Organization, must be approved by Council prior to the
November 2, 2007 State certification deadline.

CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN
(SSMP)
OCTOBER 23, 2007
PAGE 2
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staff recommendations; approval of the SSMP Phase I, which allows
the City meet the Statewide General WDR; or
- Provide direction to staff requesting specific changes.
ADVANTAGES:
Approval of the draft SSMP ensures compliance in meeting the State certification
deadline as determined by the Statewide General WDR Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ.
The SSMP identifies goals and focuses on the management of the wastewater
collection system to provide adequate capacity to convey the peak wastewater flows as
well as a reduction in the frequency of sanitary sewer overflows. If the draft SSMP is
not approved by November 2, 2007, the City would be out of compliance with the State
certification deadline as determined by the Statewide General WDR No. 2006-0003-
DWQ.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The State Water Quality Control Board and the Regional Water Quality Control Board,
Region 3, notified the City of new Sanitary Sewer Overflow requirements imposed by
the adoption of the State Water Board Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR) Order No.
2006-0003-DWQ. This order requires the City to:
A. apply for coverage under the new statewide system by November 2, 2006.
B. begin sewer overflow reporting using an electronic reporting database by May 2,
2007.
C. to develop aphased-in Sewer System Management Plan with a final document
submitted by August 2, 2009, with the first phase required to be approved by the
City Council no later than November 2, 2007.
The first requirement has been completed. City staff submitted the required documents
and fees to the State for registration under the Statewide General WDR. The second
requirement has been initiated and will become a continuous process of electronic
monthly reporting. A draft Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP), containing the
elements of the first phase has been prepared for Council review in response to the
third requirement.
The draft SSMP documents the City's sewer program, defines the City's goals for
improving the sewer system infrastructure and provides an implementation schedule for
achieving these goals. The purpose of the SSMP is to reduce, and ideally prevent,
sewer system overflows, to improve the sewer collection system infrastructure, ensure
financial resources for the operation and maintenance of the sewer system and improve

SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN
Introduction
AG 1.0 Background
The City of Arroyo Grande previously prepared a Wastewater Collection System
Management Plan in compliance with requirements of the Central Coast Regional Water
Quality Control Board (RWQCB) pursuant to Section 13267 of the California Water
Code. The City of Arroyo Grande also complied with RWQCB Sanitary Sewer Overflow
reporting requirements issued in November 2004 through its enrollment in the reporting
program.
More recently, the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) acted at its meeting
on May 2, 2006 to require all public wastewater collection system agencies in California
with greater than one mile of sewers to be regulated under the General Waste
Discharge Requirements. The SWRCB action; which applies to the City of Arroyo
Grande, mandates the development of a Sewer System Management Plan and the
reporting of Sanitary Sewer Overflows using an,electronic reporting system. The
SWRCB Sewer System Management Plan requirements are similar to those of the
RWQCB found within the Wastewater Collection System Management Plan but differ in
organization and some details.
The intent of this Sewer System Management Plan is to meet the requirements of both
the RWQCB and the Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements. The organization of this
document is consistent with the RWQCB guidelines, and addresses both the RWQCB
and the SWRCB requirements. The Sewer System Management Plan includes eleven
sections, as follows:
I. Goals
II. Organization
III. Overflow Emergency Response Plan
IV. Fats, Oils & Grease Control Program
V. Legal Authority
VI. Measures and Activities
VII. Design and Construction Standards
VIII. Capacity Management
IX. Monitoring, Measurement and Program Modifications
X. Sewer System Management Plan Audits
XI. Communication Plan

AG 2.0 System Overview
The City of Arroyo Grande is a public agency providing collection services to residential
and commercial establishments. The City encompasses 64 miles of sewer main servicing
five thousand seven hundred (5700) residents and four hundred (400) commercial
establishments. The City owns and maintains its sewer collection system. The system
is connected to a trunk sewer system and Wastewater Treatment Plant that is owned
and operated by the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District .The City of
Arroyo Grande is a member agency of the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation
District along with the Oceano Community Services District and the City of Grover
Beach.
The City of Arroyo Grande is the largest discharger into the South San Luis Obispo
County Sanitation District. The City encompasses 5.45 square miles and has a
population of approximately 16,700 people, located by way of latitude 35 degrees 7' 15"
North and longitude of 120 degrees 35' 12" West. Arroyo Grande is governed by a five
council member body, known as the City Council, with each council member serving a
term of four (4) years.
City Council is an elected body that makes bi-partisan decisions that are in the best
interest of the city and its residents. The City Council establishes City policy, setting
goals and objectives, approves the annual budget, approves expenditures and performs
other related functions. For names of current council members see Appendix A.
The Central Coast Region of the State Water Quality Control Board oversees the water
quality and Sanitary Sewer Systems requirements as defined in the Water Quality Order
No. R3-2004-0068, NPDES No. CA0047830. The Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR)
applies to all the public agencies that own/operate a sanitary sewer system comprised
of more than one mile of pipe or sewer lines which convey untreated wastewater to a
publicly owned treatment facility within the State of California.
The City of Arroyo Grande is responsible of the wastewater collection and transport
systems up to the point of discharge into the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation
District trunk system. The City takes this responsibility very seriously by protecting the
environment to the greatest degree possible and insures the collection system is
protected and utilized properly. The accountability includes preventing overFlows, which
may include restricting or prohibiting the volume, type, or concentration of wastes
added to the system.
One of the primary requirements of the WDR is the preparation and implementation of
a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). By preparing and practicing the procedures
in the plan, the potential of sewer spills should decrease. A large portion of the
requirements are currently in practice by the City due to years of taking a proactive
approach to sewer system management.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
BY: MICHAEL GALVIN, PUBLIC WORKS INTERN
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR AN
AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH TODD ENGINEERS TO
PREPARE A MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. approve allocation of funds for an Amendment to the Agreement with Todd
Engineers to prepare a monitoring and reporting program in accordance with the
Santa Maria Groundwater Adjudication; and,
2. appropriate $17,866 from the Water Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Based on the proposal for Monitoring and Reporting Program provided by Todd
Engineers, the cost of the Monitoring and Reporting Program, and requisite annual
report is $59,552. This cost is shared among several agencies, of which the City is
responsible for approximately 30%. The City's cost will be $17,866, which will be paid
from the Water Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On November 23, 2004, Council considered the water supply recommendations and
directed staff to cooperate with the other participants of the Arroyo Grande Groundwater
Basin Management Agreement in seeking additional water supplies. One of the
recommendations was to prepare a water balance study for the groundwater basin.
Once proposals were analyzed, the contract was awarded to Todd Engineers. On
September 25, 2005 Council approved becoming a partner in the work to be performed
by Todd Engineers. The contract is with the City of Pismo Beach and the amendment
will become part of the contract with Todd Engineers. The study has been completed
and. was presented to the Council on February 13, 2007. The results of the study
indicated a need to implement a monitoring program to effectively manage water usage
in the basin.
The June 30, 2005 Settlement Stipulation of the Santa Maria Groundwater Adjudication
also specified an annual report with documentation of water supply and demand
conditions, including land and water uses, sources of supply, and groundwater levels
and quality. Todd Engineers has submitted a proposal for initiating and implementing
such a program.

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR AN AMENDMENT
TO THE AGREEMENT WITH TODD ENGINEERS TO PREPARE A MONITORING
AND REPORTING PROGRAM
OCTOBER 23, 2007
PAGE 2 OF 3
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve allocation of additional funding for an amendment to the
Agreement with Todd Engineers to prepare a Monitoring and Reporting
Program and appropriate $17,866 from the Water Fund;
- Allow other firms to submit bids for the Monitoring and Reporting program;
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The water balance study conducted by Todd Engineers of the groundwater basin
indicated a need to implement a monitoring and reporting program. Such a program
was recommended as a way to more efficiently manage the condition of the water
supply in the groundwater basin. It is believed that by regularly monitoring the
groundwater basin, it will be possible to react to minor issues such as changes in water
levels or quality before such issues become significant challenges.
The June 30, 2005 Settlement Stipulation of the Santa Maria Groundwater Adjudication
specified an annual report with documentation of water supply and demand conditions,
including land and water uses, sources of supply, and groundwater levels and quality
(hereafter referred to as Monitoring and Reporting Program). Todd's proposal for a
Monitoring and Reporting Program contains five separate tasks, which culminate in the
presentation of the annual report.
ADVANTAGES:
Implementing the Monitoring and Reporting Program will lead to more ,efficient
management of the Groundwater Basin. By routinely monitoring the groundwater basin,
the City and it's partner jurisdictions will be able to react quickly to any issue effecting
the groundwater basin.
It is also believed that the Monitoring and Reporting Program will lead to a more
effective collaboration between the City and the partner jurisdictions included in the
Arroyo Grande Groundwater Basin Management Agreement. This is because all
parties will be better informed with regard to the changing condition of the Arroyo
Grande Groundwater Basin. By,staying well informed, it is believed that the partner
agencies will more consistently reach a consensus when facing various issues
surrounding the groundwater basin than would likely be the case without
implementation of a monitoring and reporting program.
Approving an amendment to the Todd contract will allow the City to quickly move
forward with the Monitoring and Reporting Program. Todd Engineers performed the
initial groundwater study and is familiar with the all of the requirements of the monitoring
program.

PAGE 3 OF 3
Further, by treating the Monitoring and Reporting Program as an amendment to the
original agreement between the Northern Cities and Todd Engineers, the City will avoid
the need to develop a new contract between the Northern Cities and Todd Engineers.
Solicitation of proposals would risk not meeting the specified date to submit the relevant
informatioh to the court.
DISADVANTAGES:
By implementing the Monitoring and Reporting Program, the City will need to pay its
share of the cost, which is 30% according to the Arroyo Grande Groundwater Basin
Management Agreement. Based on the proposal submitted by Todd Engineers, this
amount would be $17,866.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENT:
The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, October 18, 2007. The

From: Iris Priestaf and Maureen Reilly
Re: Revised Proposal for Monitoring and Reporting Program
This memorandum provides a scope of work, schedule and cost estimate to initiate a
monitoring and reporting program, which will he in accordance with the .Tune 30, 2008
Settlement Stipulation of the Santa Maria Groundwater Adjudication. The program will
annually assess and report on water supply and demand in the Northern Cities Area in
order to satisfy the settlement obligations, to prevent seawater intrusion, and to support
the Northern Cities in their ongoing water resources management. The Stipulation
specifies an annual report with documentation of water supply and demand conditions,
including land and water uses, sources of supply, and. groundwater levels and quality.
The attached Scope of Work includes five tasks:
• Task 1 Initiate Project and Kickoff Meeting
• Task 2 Review Data and Identify Data Gaps
• Task 3 Design Monitoring Program
• Task 4 Implement Program
• Task 5 Prepare and Present Annual Report
This scope does not include significant field work. If such field work is warranted it can
be added to Task 4 with a supplemental scope and budget, or can be planned fbr inclusion
in a subsequent aiumal report.
The attached Schedule illustrates the progression of the tasks over nine months. The attached
budget amounts to 559, 5~2.
Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have questions about this proposal.
g~ - ~/
Scope of Work
Task 1 Initiate Project and Kickoff Meeting
Todd Engineers will initiate this project with a kickoff meetine to review
objectives of the Monitoring and Reporting Program, available data. and
requirements of the Stipulation. \'~~e assume that the kickoff meeting ~~ ill be held
in San Luis Obispo County with the representatives of the four Northern Cities.
Todd Engineers will schedule and chair the meeting and provide an a_*enda.
This task includes data collection. We will provide a data request metro tailored
specifically to each of the Northern Cities. Recent climate data will be
downloaded from online sources. We will acquire and organize water well drillers
reports for the area from California DWR in order to document monitored wells
and evaluate the geologic setting of monitoring locations. The County will be
contacted for water level data. As data are received, we will update the existing'
electronic databases. Databases will be reviewed to facilitate future database
updates and automatically generate specific summary plots or tables.
This task also will provide close coordination with the Northern Cities; track the
project progress, schedule, and budget; and provide quality assurance and control.
Deliverable: Kickoff Meeting and Data Request Memo
Task 2 Review Data and Identify Data Gaps
[n this task Todd Engineers will review available data in light of monitoring
objectives and requirements. To ensure that key monitoring locations are properly
projected into the G[5, we will work with Northern Cities and County staff to
confirm locations, preferably using a global positioning system (GPS). A brief
summary of current ongoing monitoring programs will Ue prepared, including
recent monitoring by Nipomo CSD. We will identify data gaps and recommend.
areas that need additional monitoring.
Deliverable: Memorandum on Data and Monitoring
Task 3 Design Monitoring Program
This task will define a Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Northern Cities
Management Area. ht accordance with the Settlement Stipulation, the Program
will be designed to collect and analyze data on water supply and demand condi-
tions. Monitoring and data collection will support documentation of land and
water uses and sources of water supply. The Program will define a network of
groundwater monitoring wells with consideration of the spatial and vertical
distribution of sampling locations. Key wells and sampling locations will be

b2 documented with reconunendations for inclusion in the Pro~_rmn. If signiticant
additional work is required beyond the scope of this proposal. (e.g., water quality
santpliitg of sentn wells) scope and costs will be outlined.
The draft Monitoring and Reporting Program will be submitted to the TOC and
legal counsel fur mview in electronic format. Comments from the drat[ Program
will be incorporated into a final Program suitable for submittal to the Court. The
tins] Program will be provided in Adobe Acrobat Ipdt) format.
Deliverable: Draft and Final Monitoring and Reporting Program
Task 4 Implement Program
This task will implement the Program submitted to the Court in Task 3 and
subsequently approved. The Program will document water supplies and demands
in the Northem Cities Management Area in accordance with the Stipulation.
Changes and/or trends over time will be discussed. Documentation of
groundwater conditions will include preparation of selected hydrographs and a
preliminary water table contour- map based on available data; most likely data
collected during the most recent autunw sampling. Water quality data will he
reviewed to identity constituents above the drinking water standards. The data
will be linked to the existing GIS for ready analysis and presentation.
Task 3 may define additional tasks (e.g., water quality sampling of sentry wells)
beyond the scope and budget of Task 4 as currently defined. These additional
tasks will he incorporated, as approved, into Task 4.
Task 5 Prepare and Present Annual Report
The shove tasks will be documented in the first Annual Report prepared for the
Program. This report will summarize and fultill the requirements of the
Stipulation, documenting changes in groundwater supplies and any threats to
groundwater. The report will also tabulate water demand (use) and supplies in the
Northern Cities Area, including groundwater, imported water, Lopez water, and
return flows. A draft report will he suhmitted in electronic format and also
presented in a meeting with the four representatives of the Northern Cities.
Comments from the draft report will be incorporated into a final report, which can
serve as a template for future Annual Reports, thus su'eamlining the future effort.
An electronic version of the complete report in Adobe Acrobat (pdt) format will
be provided along with ] 0 bound copies of the report to Facilitate use and
distribution. All data (spreadsheet. databases, GIS) will be ^cailable to the
Nordtem Cities in electronic fornrn.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
FROM: MIKE LINN, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE FARROLL AVENUE PAVEMENT
REHABILITATION PROJECT, PW 2007-04
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. approve the construction plans and specifications for the Farroll Avenue
Pavement Rehabilitation Project;
2. find that the Farroll Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project is categorically
exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (d ); and
3. direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Exemption.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The FY 2007/08 Capital Improvement Program includes $557,000 for the total project
cost of the Farroll Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The Engineer's Estimate
for construction of the base bid, excluding the bid alternates, is approximately
$560,000.
The waterline segment of the project is financed through the Water Fund and the Water
Facility Fund. Dependent upon the bids received, staff may recommend acceptance or
deletion of the bid alternates to within the current budget.
BACKGROUND:
Council adopted Resolution No. 3820 on March 8, 2005 to accept the Pavement
Management Program. The Pavement Management Program identifies the pavement
maintenance strategies for the five-year period between July 1, 2005 and June 30,
2009. Based on the existing condition of the roadway, the Farroll Avenue Pavement
Rehabilitation Project was targeted for an asphalt concrete overlay and is budgeted
within the FY 2007/08 Capital Improvement Program.

OCTOBER 23,.2007
PAGE 2
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The Farroll Avenue Rehabilitation Project will be performed on Farroll Avenue between
Halcyon Road and Golden West Place. The scope of work includes the replacement of
a large water main, ADA concrete ramp improvements, taper grinding of the existing
roadway and placement of a new asphalt concrete overlay. The Bid Schedule is
designed with three bid alternates, which include installation of concrete curb and gutter
and sidewalk where they currently do not exist and pavement demarcation. In the
event that the bid total is more than the budgeted amount, alternates will be deducted
or other funding will be recommended so that the project fits within the available
funding. Award of the project will be determined on the lowest responsive bid for the
combined sum of the base bid and the alternates selected.
The contract time is estimated at 70 calendar days. Work is expected to begin in late
November 2007 and finish by March 2008 as shown in the attached project schedule.
ADVANTAGES:
The project provides much needed maintenance to the Farroll Avenue roadway and will
provide an opportunity to upgrade the existing waterline. Failure to perform the project
at this time may entail a much more expensive reconstruction project in the future.
The bid alternates include the installation of missing segments of sidewalk to provide a
contiguous walking path and resolution of drainage issues. The pavement demarcation
may be performed by City forces at a later date in the event the price exceeds the
budget.
DISADVANTAGES:
The only disadvantage of the project identified is that due to the work required, it will
consume a large portion of the City's funding available for street improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to
Section 15301(d).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The agenda was posted on Thursday, October 18, 2007. The agenda and staff reports
were posted on the City's website on Friday, October 19, 2007. No public comments

BY: EVAN CARSON, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE EAST
GRAND AVENUE RESURFACING PROJECT, PW 2007-09
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. award a construction contract for the micro-surfacing (Schedule A) of East
Grand Avenue to Bond Blacktop in the amount of $60,184.25;
2. award Alternate AA as part of the contract, micro-surfacing the Fire Station
parking lot, in the amount of $6,700;
3. authorize staff to negotiate a change order to incorporate Bid Alternate BC as
micro-surfacing instead of Rubberized Emulsion Aggregate Slurry (REAS) into
the project, with a value not to exceed $35,000; and
4. authorize the City Manager to approve change orders not to exceed 10% the
contingency of $10,200 for unanticipated costs during the construction phase of
the project (total construction costs = $60,184.25 + $6,700 + $35,000 + $10,200
_ $112,084.25).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The projected estimate for the total cost of the project is $112,084.25, based on the
receipt of the construction bids and desired work on Brighton Avenue. This is
$13,915.75 less than the $126,000 of Sales Tax Revenue currently allocated to the
project in the Capital Improvement Program. The unused Sales Tax funds can be
carried over to the Pavement Management Program to help replace a portion of the
$107,966 of Pavement Management Program funds recently reallocated to the Brisco
Road Rehabilitation Project.

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE EAST GRAND AVENUE
RESURFACING PROJECT, PW 2007-09
OCTOBER 23, 2007
PAGE-2-
BACKGROUND:
Microsurfacing is being performed as a maintenance procedure on this segment of East
Grand Avenue and is already included in the Pavement Management Program budget
for FY 2007-08. The scope of work includes restriping of the roadway to include a
center turn-lane and bike lanes as directed by the City Council at the July 10, 2007
meeting.
On October 12, 2007, three bids were opened for the East Grand Avenue Resurfacing
Project for two separate resurfacing options; micro-surfacing or rubberized emulsion
aggregate slurry (REAS). The lowest responsive bid for the micro-surfacing option,
from Bond Blacktop of Union City, was in the amount of $77,445.75. This cost includes
a base bid of $60,184.25 for micro-surfacing, raising utility wells in the wheel path and
restriping of East Grand Avenue; Alternate AA in the amount of $6,700 for micro-
surfacing and restriping the Fire Station parking lot; and Alternate AB in the amount of
$10,561.50 for micro-surfacing and restriping the Car Corral Parking Lot. Bond
Blacktop also submitted the lowest responsive bid for the Rubberized Emulsion
Aggregate Slurry (REAS) resurfacing option in the amount of $111,704.50. The REAS
bid schedule included the same work as the micro-surfacing option above, but also
includes 68,000 square feet of Brighton Avenue. In the event of favorable bids,
Brighton Avenue was included as a bid alternate. The Pavement Management Program
lists Brighton Avenue as one of the next streets to receive maintenance resurfacing.
The REAS bid schedule total cost of $111,704.50 includes the Brighton Avenue work
valued at $31,385.
The current project budget in the Capital Improvement Program totals $126,000. This
includes money for design, construction, construction contingencies, contract
administration and testing. The total project budget is projected at $112,084.25 (total
construction costs = $60,184.25 base bid + $6,700 Fire Station Parking Lot + $35,000
Brighton Avenue + $10,200 contingency = $112,084.25).
The contract time for this project is specified at 45 calendar days. Work is expected to
begin in early November 2007 and be completed by December 2007.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staffs recommendation to award the bid for the East Grand Avenue
Resurfacing Project, including micro-surfacing of East Grand Avenue, the
Fire Station Parking Lot, and Brighton Avenue;
- Choose REAS as the preferred application method, which will result in a $2,210.75
cost increase (for East Grand Avenue + Fire Station Parking Lot);
- Approve only micro-surfacing of East Grand Avenue with no bid alternates;
- Include the Car Corral Parking Lot Alternate in the work (either application method);
or
- Provide direction to staff

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE EAST GRAND AVENUE
RESURFACING PROJECT, PW 2007-09
OCTOBER 23, 2007
PAGE-3-
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Micro-surfacing can be applied in a wide variety of ambient temperatures and provides
a longer life than REAS, though they are nearly the same cost. Limitations of the REAS
curing ability with respect to ambient temperatures make the REAS option a risk at this
late stage of the year. Daylight Savings Time may arrive by the time this contract work
begins. The time change (less daylight) and accompanying lower seasonal
temperatures may cause the REAS application method to fail prematurely (within 6
months).
The Fire Station parking lot is in need of maintenance. The Pavement Management
Program also lists Brighton Avenue as one of the next streets to receive maintenance
resurfacing.
The Car Corral Parking Lot is deficient in ADA°accessible parking spaces. Resurfacing
the parking would require the parking lot to come into conformance with current ADA
requirements by providing one van-accessible and one wheelchair accessible parking
space. To attain this, site work will be involved. The current parking lot configuration
would require one parking space be lost and site work performed to provide cross
slopes not exceeding 2% and a path to a safe destination point (the sidewalk) be
provided. However, the work required to bring the parking lot into compliance has not
been designed and would not fit in the timeline of this project. It is suggested a specific
design be made to bring the Car Corral Parking Lot into ADA compliance and
constructed at a later date in conjunction with the East Branch Streetscape Project.
ADVANTAGES:
The following advantages exist with regard to staff's recommendations:
• Micro-surfacing has a longer life than REAS and has a track record within the City.
Using micro-surfacing at this time of year vs REAS will ensure the City is not using
something that may prematurely fail.
• If the Fire Station parking lot is resurfaced, it will also reduce future maintenance
costs.
If Brighton Avenue is resurfaced, it will also reduce future maintenance costs.
Not including the Car Corral in the work allows the City time to appropriately design
improvements to meet ADA requirements.
DISADVANTAGES:
The following potential disadvantages exist regarding the recommendations:
The time of installation is slightly longer for microsurfacing because utility wells will
be adjusted in the wheel path.
Utilities will be raised (traffic control devices will be in the street for a few additional
days).
• REAS has not been used in the City and we will not be able to use/experiment with
this resurfacing technology (at least for 6 months).

- Provide direction to staff.
However, since the Agreement is
there is likely little opportunity for
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) provides rate structure, incentive and rebate alternatives.
However, absent a detailed analysis and formal application to PG&E, agencies most
often are not placed in the most cost effective rate categories. As a result, services of
EnerPower can assist in identifying and obtaining ongoing electric rate savings. In

CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT WITH ENERPOWER FOR ELECTRIC RATE
ANALYSIS

PAGE 2
addition, rate structure adjustments are made by PG&E on an ongoing basis.
Therefore, EnerPower provides ongoing monitoring and analysis of electric billing. If no
savings are generated, the Agreement expires after the first year. If savings are
generated from the recommendations, the Agreement is renewed for an additional
twelve (12) month period. This cycle is repeated for up to a total period of five years.
ADVANTAGES:
The primary advantage of the recommendation is the opportunity to generate savings
from reduced energy bills at no cost to the City.
DISADVANTAGES:
The Agreement provides no negative impact or risk to the City since there are no costs
unless savings are identified. It does commit the City to reimburse a sizable portion of
the savings for afive-year period. However, staff has determined that these are not
savings that can be feasibly generated without the expertise of the consultant, and no
other firms providing this service have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.

subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City
Page 11
,~. ~.° ~3
regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all Consultants
and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or
applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first
submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve
to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily
injury to an employee of the insured or of any Consultant or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification
and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make
any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction
of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional
insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at

not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no
replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any
insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement
and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly
paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to
City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify
such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to
mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will
"endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the
certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or
self insurance available to City.

involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant,
provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant
Page 12

ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this
section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and
others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions
or deductibles on any portion of the insurance .required herein and further agrees that it
will not allow any Consultant, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or
person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by
this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage
includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention
must be declared to the City. At the time the City shall review options with the
Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured
retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety
(90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increase benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps
that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirements
in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or
its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or
terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City
executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other
policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been
ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from
Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance
and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to
the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration
of the coverages.
Page 13
~:1~.-iS
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit
the obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to
use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its
employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as
a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a
given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue,
and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct
from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts
with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by
any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or
Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement.
Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall
be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect
thereto.
22. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City
assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to
monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am continually challenged to try to save money for the Town of Discovery Bay,
Community Services District (CSD) any way I can, especially with the smaller budgets
we receive each year. Of particular concern, is the cost of electricity, which continues to
increase with no end in sight. I have had little success decreasing those costs until I met
John Ryan from F.nerPower.
John came to our office, did a yearly analysis of our PG&E bills, and then reported back
to myself and the Town of Discovery Bay CSD Board of Directors to show us how we
could save money by restrucdtring our electric rates. By agreeing to use his consulting
services, we were able to save the Town of Discovery Bay CSD over $112,000.00 on
electricity costs this past year. The process was so simple, taking minimal time and effort
on our part, with no downside risk. No payment to EnerPower is required urnil savings
are actually realized.
John Ryan and his team have done a great job for Discovery Bay, and I recommend their
services without hesitation.

San Ramon, CA 94583
John Ryan, President of EnerPower, and Debra Dorsey, Senior Account
Analyst for EnerPower, met with Larry Von Kaenel, Assistant to the City
Manager, and me in November of 2004. EnerPower then proceeded to
complete a yearly analysis on our city's PG&E bills to determine if there was
any opportunity for savings on our utility bills by restructuring our electric
rates.
John and Debra reported back Larry and me, and we were pleased to see our
city's potential savings opportunities. EnerPower has been on board with us a
full summer and continue to oversee our PG&E bills in the winter to ensure
continued billing accuracy.
The process is simple, taking minimal time and effort from our staff. No
payment to EnerPower is required until savings are actually realized. I would
recommend their services.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ~;~KELLY HEFFERNON, ACTING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO CHANGE
THE ZONING OF SUBAREA 2 OF THE EAST VILLAGE
NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN FROM RESIDENTIAL RURAL (RR) TO
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (SF); APPLICANT -CITY OF ARROYO
GRANDE; LOCATION - 12.77 ACRES NORTH OF EAST CHERRY
AVENUE EXTENSION
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance amending the Zoning
Map for the 12.77-acre property located north of East Cherry Avenue Extension.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no direct City costs related to the subject rezoning.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council, at its meeting of October 9, 2007, introduced for first reading an
Ordinance amending the Zoning Map to change the zoning of Subarea 2 of the East
Village Neighborhood Plan (EVNP) from Residential Rural (RR) to Single Family
Residential (SF) consistent with the City's General Plan. Council also adopted the East
Village Neighborhood Plan. It is recommended the City Council adopt the Ordinance.
The Subarea 2 property is currently zoned Residential Rural (RR) and is divided into ten
(10) parcels developed with twelve (12) residences. In 2001, the General Plan was
updated to change the land use designation of this property from Low Density
Residential (LD) to Medium Density Residential (MD), or from one (1) dwelling unit per
acre to 4.5 dwelling units per acre. The purpose of this Development Code Amendment
(DCA) is to bring the zoning into compliance with the General Plan by changing the
zoning from Residential Rural (RR) to Single Family Residential (SF), pursuant to the
requirements of Government Code Section 65860(c). If approved, the future
development in this area will conform to the City's Development Code for SF zoning.
~~-l
CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 23, 2007
DCA 06-004
PAGE 2
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives. are presented for Council consideration:
- Adopt the attached Ordinance amending the Zoning Map for the 12.77-acre
property;
- Do not adopt the attached Ordinance and continue deliberation if unresolved
issues are identified;
- Propose alternate zoning and direct staff to prepare an Ordinance, General Plan
Amendment and other land use changes to offset reduction in density; or
- Provide other direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Density Analysis
If the Development Code Amendment is approved by adopting the attached Ordinance,
the new medium density zoning (SF) for the area would allow densities of up to 4.5
dwelling units per acre, or forty-five (45) new residences. Given the various site
constraints of the property (such as the creek channel and setback, riparian vegetation,
agricultural buffer, and existing pattern of development), it is not physically possible to
develop the 12.77-acre property to the allowable maximum density of 4.5 dwelling units
per acre (or 57 total residential units). Based on a conceptual design prepared by RRM
Design Group, Subarea 2 could have a total of twenty-six (26) lots, or 2.0 dwelling units
per acre under the General Plan designation and proposed Neighborhood Plan.
The table below summarizes the size and ownership of all existing parcels and the
allowable density of each parcel for SF and RS zoning based on gross acreage.
Calculated constraints on Subarea 2 include 69,000 square feet of agricultural buffer
and 104,000 square feet of highly sensitive creek habitat (3.97 acres total). With the
proposed 4.5 dwelling units per acre, this equals 39 residential units allowed. As
indicated in the table below, the Development Code does not allow rounding up of
densities. Therefore, the total estimated number of units allowable within Subarea 2 is
37.

Notes:
a The attached Subarea 2 concept plan for SF zoning is provided to show the realistic development density
for Subarea 2 based on lot size and area constraints. Using the General Plan land use density of 4.5
du/acre and individual property constraints, the development potential is significantly less than using gross
acreage.
b The Development Code does not allow rounding up on densities, therefore fractional units were not
rounded up.
`2 existing units on this property.
Compliance with State law
As an alternative, the Council could consider a Residential Suburban (RS) zoning
designation, which allows up to 2.5 dwelling units per acre, or thirty-two (32) units total
(20 new units). This would require a General Plan Amendment (GPA). If the Council
determines that RS is a more appropriate zone for this area, it will require compliance
with Government Code Section 65863 (b) and (c), set forth below.
"(b) No city, county, or city and county shall, by administrative, quasi-judicial, or
legislative action, reduce, require, or permit the reduction of the residential
density for any parcel to a lower residential density that is below the density that
was utilized by the Department of Housing and Community Development in
determining compliance with housing element law, Article 10.6 (commencing with
Section 65580) of Chapter 3, unless the city, county, or city and county makes
written findings supported by substantial evidence of both of the following:
(1) The reduction is consistent with the adopted general plan, including the
housing element.
(2) The remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to
accommodate the jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need
pursuant to Section 65584.
~i -3
CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 23, 2007
DCA 06-004
PAGE 4
(c) If a reduction in residential density for any parcel would result in the remaining
sites in the housing element not being adequate to accommodate the
jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need pursuant to Section 65584, the
jurisdiction may reduce the density on that parcel if it identifies sufficient
additional, adequate, and available sites with an equal or greater residential
density in the jurisdiction so that there is no net loss of residential unit capacity."
As indicated above, the City cannot reduce the residential density for any parcel that is
below the density identified in the City's certified Housing Element unless it can be
determined that sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites can offset the loss of
density. Based on gross acreage (not considering existing lot configuration or site
constraints), the 12.77-acre property would allow 57 units under the SF zoning and 32
units under the RS zoning. Given State law, it would be necessary to make up the 25-
unitdifference somewhere else within the City.
Staff has analyzed other potential sites that could offset the decrease in density of the
subject property and has determined that only one site qualifies, which is an eleven (11)
acre property off of Valley Road adjacent to Arroyo Grande High School. Council
approved a zone change for this site from Community Facilities (no residential
development potential) to Residential Hillside (1.5 dwelling units per acre gross) on
August 22, 2006. The increase of seven (7) units is not adequate to offset the 25-unit
difference required if the City changed the project site from SF to RS. There have been
no other up zoned properties since the Housing Element was certified. Therefore, it
does not appear that the City can make the necessary findings of "no net loss" of
density with down zoning of the subject property, unless other residential properties can
be concurrently considered by GPA and DCA to provide at least eighteen (18) units of
additional housing potential.
ADVANTAGES:
As proposed, the Ordinance will:
• Make zoning in this area consistent with the General Plan;
• Provide housing to meet the City's housing needs;
Provide improved circulation and drainage;
Provide City sewer to an area currently reliant on septic systems;
• Provide for a more orderly and coordinated development of the area.
DISADVANTAGES:
Some neighborhood concerns have been expressed regarding the future density and
impact on the rural character of the area. However, there is general unity in the
neighborhood's support for the proposal. City Council has also expressed concern
regarding the potential for meeting the maximum density if ownership of the parcels
were consolidated. While the East Village Neighborhood Plan sets forth specific
guidelines for future development and restricts proposals inconsistent with the Plan, it is
not possible to eliminate the ability of future City Councils to make modifications.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff has reviewed this project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines and the City of Arroyo Grande Rules and Procedures for
Implementation of CEQA. Based on the review, staff has determined that the proposed
project is exempt under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Note that any
future development requiring discretionary review in the Subarea 2 area would require
comprehensive environmental review.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
A public hearing notice is not necessary for the second reading of this Ordinance. A
public hearing notice was published in The Tribune on Saturday, September 29, 2007
and a public notice was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the proposed
project prior to the City Council meeting on October 9, 2007. Four members of the
public spoke in support of the proposal. Following the Council's action to introduce the
Ordinance on October 9, 2007, a summary of the Ordinance was published in The
Tribune on Thursday, October 18, 2007 as required by law. If the Ordinance is adopted,
a summary of the Ordinance with the vote of the Council will be published again within
15 days.

BY: MICHAEL GALVIN, ADMINISTRATIVE INTERN
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF MID-TERM REVIEW OF REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY'S 2005-2009 FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO
UPDATE THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN'S PROJECTS LIST
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors move to adopt a
Resolution of the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency approving the Mid-Term
Review of the Agency's 2005-2009 Five-Year Implementation Plan, including an
amendment to update the Implementation Plan's projects list.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct financial impact from approval of the Mid-Term Review of the
Redevelopment Agency's 2005-2009 Five-Year Implementation Plan ("Mid-Term
Review"), which is essentially a status report, or from the associated amendment
included in the Mid-Term Review to update the projects list set forth in the
Implementation Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande (City Council) activated the City's
Redevelopment Agency on August 27, 1996 through its adoption of Ordinance No.
479CS. In May of 1997, the City Council went on to approve and adopt Ordinance No.
487CS, which approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Arroyo Grande
Redevelopment Project Area. Subsequently, on January 13, 2004, the City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 551 which amended the Redevelopment Plan to extend by one
(1) year the period of time during which the Redevelopment Agency may receive tax
increment from the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project. Approximately 510 acres in
size, the Project Area encompasses a number of areas inside City boundaries located
north and south of State Highway 101. The Redevelopment Plan and all of the
activities, projects, and programs contemplated therein are compliant with the City's
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

Two factors shaped the Agency's early implementation activities of the Redevelopment
Plan. The large size of the Project Area and the limited amount of total tax increment
funds expected in the first years of implementation posed a challenge for the Agency's
mandate to undertake redevelopment activities throughout the entire Project Area.
Rather than diffusing its limited resources, the Agency selected an implementation
strategy focused on developing a general economic development program for the City
and to concentrate investment of its funds in sections of the Project Area with
characteristics that fit within certain "Categories of High Potential" for economic
development. These areas were generally located within the selected Principal
Improvement Zones. The underlying strategy was to invest the Agency's limited
resources in areas of the Project Area that held the greatest potential for economic
development. The resulting increase in economic activity in these zones would then
lead to further private investment and greater tax increment funds available for Agency
investment throughout the Project Area.
On December 14, 2004, the Agency adopted aFive-Year Implementation Plan (the
"Implementation Plan"). The Implementation Plan was adopted to guide the Agency's
redevelopment project activities for 2005 through 2009 in implementing key
redevelopment projects. The Implementation Plan focuses on the projects, programs,
and estimated revenues and expenditures planned for the Project Area.
The Redevelopment Agency is required by State law to now submit for Agency Board
consideration aMid-Term Review, which serves to present the status of projects
identified and undertaken as part of the Implementation Plan. In addition, staff has
identified those projects that have been undertaken since the Implementation Plan was
adopted or which are anticipated in the next two years, as well as those projects that
are no longer being pursued. The Mid-Term Review discusses those added projects,
as well as those no longer being pursued. As such, the Mid-Term Review serves also
as an amendment to the Implementation Plan so that the new projects identified can
formally be deemed added to the Implementation Plan and the projects no longer being
pursued can formally be deemed deleted from the Implementation Plan.
Pursuant to Section 33490 of the California Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety
Code Section 33000 et seq. (CRL), the Implementation Plan serves as a policy and
strategy document that will guide current and future projects and programs by the
Agency to:
1. Encourage the redevelopment of the Project Area, subject to and consistent with
the City's General Plan and /or specific development plans as may be adopted
from time to time through the cooperation of private enterprise and public
agencies;
2. Enhance the long term economic well-being of the community;
3. Provide for the rehabilitation of commercial and industrial structures and residential
dwelling units;

4. Provide public infrastructure improvements and community facilities, such as the
installation, construction, and/or reconstruction of streets, utilities, public buildings
and facilities (such as facilities for pedestrian circulation and parking facilities),
storm drains, utility undergrounding, or structures, street lighting, landscaping and
other improvements which are necessary for the effective redevelopment of the
Project Area;
5. Provide for participation in the redevelopment of property in the Project Area where
feasible by owners who agree to so participate in conformity with the
Redevelopment Plan;
6. Encourage joint efforts and cooperative efforts among property owners,
businesses and public agencies to achieve desirable economic development goals
and programs and to reduce or eliminate existing blighting conditions; and
7. Increase, improve and preserve the community's supply of affordable housing.
Economic development projects identified in the plan include the following:
• Fair Oaks Theatre (Polin) Parking Project
• Brisco Terraces Mixed Use PUD Project
• Tri-W. Elm/Grand Center Redevelopment Project
• E. Branch Street Enhancement Project
• EI Camino Real Enhancement Project
• Post Office Relocation Assistance
• E. Grand, Halcyon and Traffic Way Facade Enhancement
• Courtland Village
• Spencer's Market Shopping Center
Supplemental projects to be added to the Implementation Plan and which are discussed
in the Mid-Term Review include the following:
• Faeh Street Property Development
• Le Point Street Parking
• E. Grand Avenue Business Improvement Association
• Halcyon Storm Drain Improvements
• Fair Oaks/ Grand Avenue Enhancements
• E. Grand Avenue Enhancements
• Courtland III (Touchstone Plaza)
• Small Business Start-Up Strike Team
One of the components of the Mid-Term Review is the Agency's 10-Year Housing
Compliance Plan, which outlines projects designed to meet the Agency's affordable
housing obligations. As such, the Mid-Term Review includes a review of the Agency's
affordable housing projects identified in the Implementation Plan, as well as projects
that are added to the list. Affordable housing projects include the following:

• Brisco Road Affordable Housing Project
• Courtland/Grand Senior Apartments
• Touchstone Plaza and Townhomes
• Creekside Mixed Use Center
• BriscolLinda Townhomes
• Tri-W Center
• People's Self Help EI Camino Real
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Redevelopment Agency Board of
Director's consideration:
• Adopt the Resolution approving the Mid-Term Review of the Redevelopment
Agency Five-Year Implementation Plan, including the amendment to the
Implementation Plan to update the projects list;
• Modify the list of projects proposed to be added/deleted to the Implementation Plan
and adopt the Resolution approving the Mid-Term Review;
• Do not adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Mid-Term Review of the
Redevelopment Agency Five-Year Implementation Plan including the amendment
to the Implementation Plan to update the projects list; or
• Provide staff with other direction.
ADVANTAGES:
The primary advantage of approval of this action is to ensure the Redevelopment
Agency complies with all State law requirements. All information included in the Mid-
Term Review is consistent with goals that have been established by the Redevelopment
Agency and discussions involving ongoing work by staff.
DISADVANTAGES:
The only disadvantage to adopting the Resolution at this time would be if the Agency
Board does not believe the existing projects are consistent with current economic
development priorities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Pursuant to State law, no environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
State law requires notice of the public hearing on the Mid-Term Review, including the
amendment to the Implementation Plan that is part of the Mid-Term Review, to be
published once a week for three weeks. The hearing date must be at least 31 days after
the date the notice is first published. The notice must also be posted in at least four
permanent places within the project area for a period three weeks starting on the day
the notice is published in the newspaper. All public notification requirements were met.

INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT TO UPDATE PROJECTS LIST

OCTOBER 23, 2007
The City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande activated the City's Redevelopment
Agency on August 27, 1996 through its adoption of Ordinance No. 479 C.S. In May
1997, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 487 C.S., which approved and adopted
the Redevelopment Plan for the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project Area.
Subsequently, on January 13, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 551, which
amended the Redevelopment Plan to extend by one (1) year the period of time during
which the Redevelopment Agency may receive tax increment from the Arroyo Grande
Redevelopment Project. Approximately 510 acres in size, the Project Area
encompasses a number of areas inside City boundaries with certain parcels located
north and south of State Highway 101. The Redevelopment Plan and all of the activities,
projects, and programs contemplated therein are compliant with the City's General Plan
and Zoning Ordinance.
Two factors shaped the Agency's early implementation activities of the Redevelopment
Plan. The large size of the Project Area and the limited amount of total tax increment
funds expected in the first years of implementation posed a challenge for the Agency's
mandate to undertake redevelopment activities throughout the entire Project Area.
Rather than diffusing its limited resources, the Agency selected an implementation
strategy focused on developing a general economic development program for the City
and to concentrate investment of its funds in sections of the Project Area with

economic development. The resulting increase in economic activity in these zones
would then lead to further private investment and greater tax increment funds available

On December 14, 2004 the Agency adopted the 2005-2009 Five-Year Implementation
Plan (the "Implementation Plan"). The Implementation Plan was adopted to guide the
Agency's actions from 2005 through 2009 in implementing key redevelopment projects.
The Implementation Plan focused on the projects, programs, and estimated revenues
and expenditures planned for the Project Area. In addition, a component of the
Implementation Plan is the Agency's 10-Year Housing Compliance Plan, which is
updated on a rolling basis every five years when a new Implementation Plan is adopted.

Pursuant to Section 33490 of the California Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety
Code Section 33000 et seq. (CRL), the Implementation Plan serves as a policy and
strategy document, rather than a contract, that will guide current and future projects and
programs by the Agency to:
1. Encourage the redevelopment of the Project Area subject to and consistent with
the City's General Plan and /or specific development plans as may be adopted
from time to time through the cooperation of private enterprise and public
agencies;
2. Enhance the long term economic well-being of the community;
3. Provide for the rehabilitation of commercial and industrial structures and residential
dwelling units;
4. Provide public infrastructure improvements and community facilities, such as the
installation, construction, and/or reconstruction of streets, utilities, public buildings
and facilities (such as facilities for pedestrian circulation and parking facilities),
storm drains, utility undergrounding, or structures, street lighting, landscaping and
other improvements which are necessary for the effective redevelopment of the
Project Area;
5. Provide for participation in the redevelopment of property in the Project Area where
feasible by owners who agree to so participate in conformity with the
Redevelopment Plan;
6. Encourage joint efforts and cooperative efforts among property owners,
businesses and public agencies to achieve desirable economic development goals
and programs and to reduce or eliminate existing blighting conditions;
7. Increase, improve and preserve the community's supply of affordable housing.
Amendment to Implementation Plan
This Mid-Term Review also serves an amendment to the Implementation Plan for the
purpose of updating the Projects list set forth in the Implementation Plan. Under State
law, the Implementation Plan may be amended at any time upon the same noticing and
public hearing requirement that applies to the Mid-Term Review. As such, the
Implementation Plan is amended to update the Projects list as described below.
Economic Development Proiects Included in the Implementation Plan
• Fair Oaks Theatre (Polin) Parking Project
• Brisco Terraces Mixed Use PUD Project
• Tri-W. Elm/Grand Center Redevelopment Project
• E. Branch Street Enhancement Project
• EI Camino Real Enhancement Project
• Post Office Relocation Assistance

Current Status of Economic Development Projects Included in the
Implementation Plan
• Fair Oaks Theatre (Polin) Partcing Project: This project sought to mitigate
blight due to factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically
viable use or capacity of lots, such as the lack of parking. At present,
discussions continue with owners of the Fair Oaks Theatre and adjacent
property. The objective is to utilize the adjacent unoccupied parcel for
expansion of theatre parking.
• Brisco Terraces Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (PUD) Project: The
goal of this project is to provide for the rehabilitation of commercial and
industrial structures, as well as residential dwelling units. Blight exists in the
form of depreciated or stagnant property values and impaired investments.
At present, the proposed mixed-use PUD has been delayed indefinitely.
Alternatively, the property owner has requested and received approval for a
conditional use permit for special events in Lindero Plaza. The residential
project is no longer expected to occur during the Five-Year Implementation
Plan period. The Redevelopment Agency has recommended the property
owner consider facade improvements at Brisco Road and E. Grand Avenue.
Redevelopment of the site is also continued to be encouraged.
• Tri-W Elm Street/Grand Center Redevelopment Project: The stated goal of
this project is to enhance the long-term economic well being of the
community. This will be achieved by encouraging joint and cooperative
efforts among property owners, business and public agencies to achieve
desirable economic development goals and programs to eliminate blight.
The identified blight includes depreciated or stagnant property values and
impaired investments, as well as a lack of necessary commercial facilities
that are normally found in neighborhoods. While redevelopment of the
entire site to a higher density mixed-use development was originally
conceived, proposals are now expected to focus on refurbishment of the
existing structures. The owners of the property are expected to apply for a
conditional use permit for improvements in Fall 2007 to refurbish the center,
accompany the arrival of new tenants, and potentially expand commercial
structures. This may also include an expansion of the mixed-use
component in the future. The residential or second phase of this project has
yet to begin, and may or may not involve a relocation of the existing
carvvash, depending on the ability to identify a suitable alternative site.
• E. Branch Streetscape Enhancement Project: The objective of this plan is to
improve pedestrian accessibility and safety, enhance Village character and
aesthetics, and at the same time maintain efficient traffic flow and existing
parking. The project consists of bulbouts, crosswalk enhancements, new
street parking, new irrigation, sidewalk tree installation, and electrical
access for events. The cost of the projects included in the E. Branch
~a-~3
MID TERM REVIEW
2005-2009 FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
PAGE 4
Streetscape Enhancement Plan is expected to be over $1 million. The
projected will be funded from a SLOCOG grant, as well as from
supplemental grants, Redevelopment funds, and local sales tax funding.
Project implementation is also dependant upon State relinquishment of
Highway 227, which is currently in process. A preview of the design will be
presented to the City Council in November 2007. Construction is projected
to start in Summer 2008.
• EI Camino Real Enhancement Project: As a result of inadequate public
improvements, parking facilities or utilities, this project seeks to provide
infrastructure improvements, such as the reconstruction of streets and
lighting. The design element of this project is proposed to begin in January
2008. Funding is included in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program,
including the installation of a retaining wall along the west side of the EI
Camino Real near Oak Park. Once the design stage is complete,
construction is expected to begin in Summer 2009.
• Post Office Relocation Assistance: This project sought to mitigate a
potential lack of necessary public facilities. The relocation of the Post Office
has been completed. However, there are several improvements related to
this project, which are yet to be completed. Supplemental improvements
will be referred to as the Traffic Way Restriping and Enhancements. In
addition to traffic improvements related to the Post Office, these
enhancements also include streetscape improvements, addition of sidewalk,
and the construction of a turn-lane, curb and gutter at Cherry Avenue and
Fair Oaks Avenue. These enhancements are programmed for completion
during the 2007-08 fiscal year.
• Courtland Village II: This project was included to mitigate the lack of
necessary commercial facilities. The property, owned by Ted Moore, is
located east of the Courtland Village (tong's Center) on E. Grand Ave.
Construction is expected in Fall 2007. The commercial facilities are
expected to open in 2008.
• E. Grand, Halcyon and Traffic Way Fagade Enhancement: This project is
designed to eliminate blight through storefront improvements. Assistance is
funded from Community Development Block Grant monies. Up to $15,000
in grants has been awarded thus far and the program continues to be
funded on an annual basis. The program has now been expanded to
include all commercial and mixed-use areas.
• Spencer's Market Shopping Center: This project is also intended to mitigate
a lack of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in
neighborhoods. The goal is to enhance the long-term economic well being

of the community. One aspect of this project was enhanced beautification
to the center, which occurred primarily through the removal of an unsightly
fence and retaining basin. The blighted sight was then replaced with
construction of an Applebee's Restaurant, which is currently under
construction in the front of the parking lot. Sign improvements have already
been completed in the remainder of the center. The completion of the
Applebee's restaurant is expected to occur in Fall 2007.
Supplemental Proiects
Several projects that were not included when the Implementation Plan was
adopted in 2004 have since been identified as redevelopment goals. By
adoption of this Mid-Term Review, the Implementation Plan is amended to add
these supplemental projects to the Implementation Plan "projects list". These
supplemental projects are not of any lesser priority than those projects included
in the Implementation Plan when originally adopted. These supplemental
projects now included within the Implementation Plan, and their current status,
are discussed below:
• Faeh Street Property Development
• Le Point Street Parking
• E. Grand Avenue Business Improvement Association
• Halcyon Storm Drain Improvements
• Fair Oaks/ Grand Avenue Enhancements
• E. Grand Avenue Enhancements
• Courtland III (Touchstone)
• Small Business Start-Up Strike Team
Current Status of Supplemental Proiects
• Faeh Street Property Development: In order to facilitate economic
development from tourism, the Redevelopment Agency has sought ways to
attract new hotels to the City of Arroyo Grande. The Faeh Street hotel
development is such a project, which was selected due to optimal freeway
exposure. At present, the Agency has acquired the property and has
entered into an exclusive negotiation agreement with South Valley
Developers. The City is also assisting in negotiation of a potential lease and
purchase of adjacent parcels desirable to enhance the project design and
feasibility. The DDA should provide for final sale of the property to occur in
2008, with the hotel opening in 2009. Negotiation of a deposition and
development agreement (DDA) is under way, which is expected to be
proposed following Agency direction during the pre-application process and
neighborhood meetings.

• Le Point Street Property Public Parking and Mixed-Use Development:
As the popularity of the Village continues to grow, it becomes necessary to
increase the availability of parking. The Le Point Street property public
parking and mixed-use development seeks to accommodate future parking
needs. In an effort to prevent conflicting development(s), the Agency
acquired the undeveloped property behind the City Council Chambers for
$1.2 million. Additionally, the City is currently in negotiations with the
owners of the two adjoining properties for additional acquisitions through
property exchanges. A parking plan has been completed, which will add an
initial minimum of 42 spaces. It will also provide the City the flexibility to
construct amulti-story parking structure on the property in the future if
needed.
• E. Grand Avenue Business Improvement Association: The goals of the
E. Grand Avenue Business Improvement Association are to coordinate
efforts and promotional activities to attract customers, provide feedback and
coordination on efforts with the City, and fund and coordinate improvements
for the E. Grand Avenue corridor. In order to help meet the City's economic
development goals, the Redevelopment Agency funded startup costs in
forming the Association in the amount of $5,000. The goal for the
Association is to become financially self-sufficient in the future. The effort
was conducted in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and the
Association now acts as a subdivision of the Arroyo Grande Chamber of
Commerce. The Agency's involvement with this project is now complete.
• Halcyon Road Storm Drain Improvements: This project will focus on four
specific sites along Halcyon Road to construct a unified discharge system.
This will address the existing insufficient drainage capacity, which otherwise
requires individual retention basins on new developments. The property
owners will be charged a fee as a condition of approval to reimburse a
portion of the costs. The four sites include the vacant half-acre at E. Grand
Avenue and Alder Street, two properties at Dodson Way and Halcyon Road,
as well a site between the vacant half acre and the two properties at
Dodson Way and Halcyon Road. Future developments at each of these
sites will all be facilitated by this improved storm drain system.
Additionally, this project will include rezoning the parcel of land across from
the Hospital and school for mixed-use. Currently, the area is zoned for high-
density residential use, but the City would like to make the land available for
professional offices. This area would also be able to take advantage of the
improved storm drain system. Therefore, the drainage project will help
stimulate redevelopment on Halcyon Road to an area characterized
primarily by professional office use.

• E. Grand Avenue Enhancements: This project is designed to increase the
level of both vehicular and pedestrian safety on E. Grand Avenue. The
general elements of this plan have already been approved by the City
Council. At present, the City is restriping E. Grand between Highway 101
and Halcyon Road. Additionally, the City will be adding bike lanes and
center turn lanes to four of the blocks, which will eliminate street parking in
the affected areas, but will increase the level of safety for travelers. Other
safety enhancements included in this project include enhanced bike lanes
along the Fair Oaks section of E. Grand Avenue, bulbouts and other traffic
calming devices between Halcyon Road and Elm Street, as well as several
safety crossings with timers at Fair Oaks.
• Courtland III (Touchstone Plaza): Currently, this project is in the preliminary
stages. It involves two vacant properties at the southwest corner of
Courtland Street and E. Grand Avenue. A Specific Plan has been approved
on the site, including commercial, office, and residential uses. The
properties include a total of six acres. The Agency is in discussion with
potential developers with the intent of consolidating ownership and providing
Agency assistance for affordable rental housing on two acres of the site.
• Small Business Start-Up Strike Team: The City and Chamber staff have
formed a Small Business Start-Up Strike Team and have worked together in
developing a brochure to promote assistance available for new businesses.
The program is designed to assist those that have often considered starting
a new business, but are unaware of the resources available to help. The
Strike Team is available to meet with interested individuals to coordinate
assistance from a variety of sources. The Redevelopment Agency funded
printing and layout of the brochure.
Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan
Under State law, a redevelopment agency has the obligation to assure that at
least 15% of all new and substantially rehabilitated (where the after rehab-value
is 25% more, including land value, than the pre-rehab value) housing units
developed in the project area are affordable to low and moderate income
persons (of the 15%, 9% must be affordable to low or moderate income persons
and 6% to very low income persons). In addition, if a redevelopment agency
itself is the developer, as compared to the agency simply assisting a private
developer through financial or other assistance, the agency must assure that at
least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated units developed by the agency
itself are available at affordable costs to households of very low, low, or
moderate-income (of the 30%, 15% must be affordable to low or moderate
income persons and 15% to very low income persons). It should be noted that
the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency has no plans to undertake any
projects in which the Agency itself is the developer and so the applicable
percentages are the first set: 15%, of which 9% must be affordable to low or
qa-t~7
MID TERM REVIEW
2005-2009 FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
PAGE 8
moderate income persons, and 6% must be affordable to very low income
persons.
These percentage requirements are applicable to housing units as aggregated in
a redevelopment project area, and not on aproject-by-project basis to each
dwelling unit created or substantially rehabilitated within each particular project,
unless so required by the Agency.
It is also important to realize that the housing component of the Implementation
Plan is a ten-year compliance plan as opposed to the remainder non-housing
portion of the Implementation Plan, which covers afive-year period. As a result,
many of the projects discussed in the Ten-Year Housing Compliance Plan
component of the Implementation Plan adopted in 2004 are still in preliminary
stages. State law requires redevelopment agencies to update their 10-Year
Housing Compliance Plans every five years, so every flue years the Housing
Compliance Plan is updated on what is essentially a rolling 10-year basis.
Therefore, a more in-depth review of the Housing Compliance Plan will be
presented in 2009 when the Agency adopts its next Five Year Implementation
Plan for the years 2010 through 2014.
Housing Proiects
The projects listed below have the goal of "preserving and expanding the stock of
housing available to low and moderate income households."
• Brisco Road Affordable Housing Project
• Courtland/Grand Senior Apartments
• Touchstone Plaza and Townhomes
• Creekside Mixed Use Center
Brisco/Linda Townhomes
• Tri-W Center
• People's Self Help EI Camino Real
Current Status of Proiects
• Brisco Road Affordable Housing Project: The Agency was unsuccessful in
acquiring this property. As a result, this project is removed from the list of
projects.
Courtland/Grand Senior Apartments: This project has been completed, is
fully occupied and the final assistance payment has been issued.
• Touchstone Plaza and Townhomes: This project may incorporate the
project listed above as "People's Self Help". The Agency is facilitating
discussions with potential developers to allow People's Self Help to relocate
from its current location on EI Camino Real to the back portion of
Touchstone Plaza project. The move would increase the number of units of

the project over the existing EI Camino Real site, would provide an
improved living environment, and would release the EI Camino Real site for
other economic development activities. However, if the Agency is
successful in dedicating the property for affordable housing, a request for
proposals would likely be issued and a number of options considered.
• Creekside Mixed Use Center: This project will soon be presented to the
City Council to acquire a conditional use permit for the property. The
proposal would involve building 24 units on the property. Approximately
15% of these units would be set aside for affordable housing use.
BriscolLinda Townhomes: This project is under construction and
completion is expected by Spring 2008.
• Tri-W Center: This project has been modified. As a result, there is no longer
a residential component although the mixed-use component of this project
will remain. Because there is no affordable housing component to the
project, this project is removed from the projects list.
• People's Self-Help EI Camino Real: This project is expected to either move
forward within the next couple years or, alternatively, discussions have been
under way to consider sale of the property and purchase of an alternate
larger site on Courtland Street south of E. Grand Avenue described above.
STATUS OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
A component of the Mid-Term Review is a review of the status of the
Redevelopment Plan. The Redevelopment Plan has not been amended since
the adoption of the Implementation Plan.
CONCLUSION
This Mid-Term Review (including the amendment to Implementation Plan to
update the projects list) is in compliance with the California Community
Redevelopment Law, and specifically Health and Safety Code Section 33490.
The approval and adoption of this Mid-Term Review is not a commitment or
guarantee by the Agency that it will approve any particular project or that it will
approve any project on any particular terms or conditions. Consideration and
approval of any specific project are subject to separate processes under State
law and are subject to the legislative authority of the Redevelopment Agency
Board of Directors and, in certain instances, also subject to the legislative
authority and approval of the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande.

Five-Year Implementation Plan
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project
The City of Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency ("Agency') presents this
document as the Second Five-Year Implementation Plan ("Implementation Plan") for
the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project Area, as shown in Exhibit A, ("Project
Area"). This Implementation Plan presents the Agency's goals and objectives,
anticipated projects and programs, and estimated expenditures for the five-year
planning period (covering fiscal years 2004-05 through 2008-09).
Adopted by the Agency following an appropriately noticed public hearing or
December 14. 2004, this Implementation Plan will guide the Agency's actions it
implementing key redevelopment projects in the Project Area. Amid-term review and
update of this Implementation Plan will take place between the second and third
years after the adoption date pursuant to the requirements of the CRL. The
Implementation Plan focuses on the projects, programs, and estimated revenues and
expenditures planned for the Project Area.
Pursuant to Section 33490 of the Calrfomia Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety
Code Section 33000 et sea. ("CRL"), the Implementation Plan serves as a policy and
strategy document, rather than a contract, that will guide current and future projects
and programs by the Agency to:
Encourage the redevelopment of the Project Area subject to and consistent
with the City's General Plan and/or speck development plans as may be
adopted from time to time through the cooperation of private enterprise and
public agencies;
2. Enhance the long term economic well-being of the community;
3. Provide for the rehabilitation of commercial and industrial structures and
residential dwelling units;
4. Provide public infrastructure improvements and community facilities, such as
the installation, construction, andlor reconstruction of streets, utilities, public
buildings and facilities (such as facilities for pedestrian circulation and parking
facilities), storm drains, utility undergrounding, or structures, street lighting,
landscaping and other improvements which are necessary for the effective
redevelopment of the Project Area;
5. Provide for participation in the redevelopment of property in the Project Area
where feasible by owners who agree to so participate in conformity with the
Redevelopment Plan;
6. Encourage joint efforts and cooperative efforts among property owners,
businesses and public agencies to achieve desirable economic development
goals and programs and to reduce or eliminate existing blighting conditions;

ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
7. Increase, improve and preserve the community's supply of affordable
housing.
The objectives described above make up the Redevelopment Component of the
Implementation Plan. The CRL provides that the Implementation Plan also include
the Agency's plans, projects, and expected expenses to meet its low- and moderate-
income housing requirements over the subject Implementation Plan period. The
overriding goal of the Agency's activities is to eliminate and prevent the expansion of
blight in the Project Area, •as well as to maintain and improve the stock of housing
affordable to its low- and moderate-income residents.
Accordingly, the Redevelopment Component: 1) reviews the goals and objectives of
the Redevelopment Project Plan; 2) ident~es the Agency's strategy to achieve said
goals and objectives; 3) outlines the projects, programs and expenditures that have
been identified as means to accomplish said goals and objectives; and 4) describes
how the goals and objectives, projects, programs and expenditures will eliminate
blight within the Project Area. The Housing component, on its part, analyzes the
City's applicable housing requirements and identifies units, projects, and expendtures
that it plans to undertake in meeting such mandates.
Adoption of this Implementation Plan does not approve any of the projects listed
below. Projects to be undertaken by the Agency are subject to discretionary
approvals by the Agency, as well as environmental clearance as determined by staff.
Pursuant to Section 33490(a)(1)(B), adoption of an implementation plan shall not
constitute a "project' within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), and inclusion of any project
or program in the implementation plan shall not eliminate environmental analysis and
clearance that would otherwise be required.
Contents of the Implementation Plan
Section 33490 of the CRL requires this Implementation Plan to include the following:
• Speck Agency goals and objectives for the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment
Project Area;
• Specific programs, potential projects, and estimated expenditures proposed by
the Agency over the five-year planning period, and;
• An explanation of how Agency goals, objectives, programs, and expenditures will
eliminate blight within the Project Area and improve and increase the supply of
housing affordable to very low, low, and moderate income households.

Pursuant to Section 33490 of the CRL and applicable laws, redevelopment agencies,
such as the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency, have been required since 1994
to adopt an implementation plan every five (5) years. The CRL also requires that this
Implementation Plan address the Agency's affordable and inclusionary housing
requirements, specrfically outlining the implementation process of the deposit and
appropriate expenditure of not less than 20% of all tax increment allocated from a
project area into a housing fund for the increase and improvement of the community's
supply of tow- and moderate-income housing.

FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
The City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande ("City Council") activated the City's
Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") on August 27, 1996 through its adoption of
Ordinance No. 479CS. In May of 1997, the City Council went on to approve and
adopt Ordinance No. 487CS, which formally established the Arroyo Grande
Redevelopment Project Area and, by extension, approved the complementing 30-
year Redevelopment Plan ("Redevelopment Plan"). Subsequently, on January 13,
2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 551 which amended the
Redevelopment Plan to extend by one (1) year the period of time during which
the Redevelopment Agency may receive tax increment from the Arroyo Grande
Redevelopment Project. Approximately 510 acres in size, the Project Area
encompasses a number of areas inside City boundaries with certain parcels located
north and south of State Highway 101. The Redevelopment Plan and all of the
activities, projects, and programs contemplated therein are compliant with the City's
Zoning Ordinance and General Plan.
Two factors shaped the Agency's early implementation activities of the
Redevelopment Plan. The large size of the Project Area and the limited amount of
total tax increment funds expected in the first years of implementation posed a
challenge for the Agency's mandate to undertake redevelopment activities throughout
the entire Project Area. Rather than diffusing its limited resources without catalyzing
results, the Agency selected an implementation strategy focused on developing a
general economic development program for the City and to concentrate investment of
its funds in sections of the Project Area with characteristics that fft within certain
"Categories of High Potential" for economic development. These areas were
generally located within the selected Principal Improvement Zones ("Zones"). The
underlying strategy was to invest the Agency's limited resources in areas of the
Project Area that wen: ripe and held the greatest potential for economic development;
the resulting increase in economic activity in these Zones would then lead to further
private investment and greater tax increment funds available for Agency investment,
throughout the Project Area. Exhibit B in the next page shows the four Zones
ident~ed in the Project

FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
The Agency's first Implementation Plan was adopted in May 1999 as an Operations
Plan, which outlined a "road map" of projects and programs that the Agency could
implement as steps to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment
Plan. An accompanying document, the Resource Guide, provides the Agency with
information and analysis of the various implementation processes and procedures
necessary throughout the various phases of the implementation plan route.
Predicated on the strategic value of focusing on certain sites and Zones deemed as
"Categories of High Potential," the Operations Plan further qualified certain parcels as
Primary or Key sites ("Key Sites") for redevelopment, which were dependent on
complex financing and development mechanisms, but nonetheless held the greatest
potential for catalyzing economic revitalization in the respective Zone they were
located. Another set of parcels qualify as secondary sites ("Secondary Sites") -
primarily vacant or underutilized properties -that were more readily developable and
which, with the adequate swing in real estate and regional economy, may have
become more marketable than some of the recommended sites. The Operations
Plan sought to provide a basic implementation plan framework -potential projects,
programs, and processes to pursue -that was flexible enough to enable the Agency
Board Members at the time, and those who followed, to act on a redevelopment
opportunity that presented itself anywhere within the Project Area, though not
necessarily within the Zones ident'rfied. In evaluating the Category of High Potential
that sites fit into, the Operations Plan provided a set of criteria on which such
determination is made. In general, a site was evaluated relative to other sites based
on its "advantages" over another parcel that would make a private developer want to
invest in it; the specific "opportunity' facing the developer to redevelop said site; and
the "constraints" to development of said parcel that the Agency pn assist in
overcoming. Table 1 below summarizes these criteria.

Consistent with the principles articulated in said document, the Agency focused on
implementing the programmatic efforts that did not necessitate large capital and/or
financial resources given the small amount of tax increment funds estimated for the

initial years of life of the Project. To the extent that its financial resources allowed, the
Agency has undertaken some street enhancement and other public improvements in
the Projed Area. Nonetheless, the following description of some of these
accomplishments provides a picture of the momentum for economic redevelopment
that the Agency's activities have catalyzed:
The Long's Center on the South East Comer of East Grand Avenue and Courtland
Avenue is a clear example of the potential for economic development in the City and
the catalyzing effect that redevelopment tools can have. In partnership with the
private developer, the Agency assisted the redevelopment of this once vacant
commercial property by acquiring the back side of the property for expansion of the
existing retention basin, which the developer completed.

A key element of the Redevelopment Component includes the goals and objectives
that guide the activities of the Agency in eliminating blight in and revitalizing the
Project Area. Given the Agency's strategic focus on investing its limited financial
resources on areas within the Project Area with the highest potential for economic
revitalization, the Agency and the City Council have speck goals and objectives for
each of the Principal Improvement Zones as well as for the entire Project Area.

The redevelopment tools contained in the CRL are granted for use in a project area in
order to eliminate and prevent the prevalence of blighting conditions in such area. A
blighted area is one that necessitates the creation of a redevelopment project area
because the combination of conditions in an area constitute a burden on the
community and cannot be~alleviated by private enterprise, governmental action, or
both. The following criteria are used in the process of identifying an area as blighted:
• Unsafe/Dilapidated/Deteriorated Buildings. Buildings and structures in
which it is unsafe or uriheatthy for people to live or work. Deferred
maintenance that result in serious dilapidation and deterioration, faulty or
inadequate utilities, and other similar conditions can lead to such conditions.
Physical Conditions that Limit the Economic Viability and Use of
Lots/Buildings. Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically
viable use or capacity of buildings or lots. Given the current needs, market
conditions, and standards of the Project Area and proposed Added Area,
these conditions may result from substandard design, inadequate size of
parcels, lack of parking and other related factors.
• Incompatible Land Uses. Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible
with each other and which prevent the economic development of those
parcels or other portions of the Project Area and proposed Added Area.
• Lots of Irregular Shape, Inadequate Size, and Under Multiple
Ownerships. The existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and shape
and inadequate size for proper usefulness and developments that are in
multiple ownership.
• Depreciated/Stagnant Property Values; Impaired Investments.
Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, including,
but not necessarily limited to, those properties containing hazardous wastes
that require the use of Agency authority as specked in Article 12.5
(commencing with Section 33459 of the CRL).
• High Business Turnovers and Vacancies/Low Lease Rates/Abandoned
BuildingsNacant Lots. Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally
low lease rates, high turnover rates, abandoned buildings, or excessive
vacant lots within an area developed for urban use and served by utilities.
• Lack of Neighborhood Commercial Facilities. A lack of necessary
commercial facilities that are normally found in neighborhoods, including
grocery stores, drug stores, and banks and other lending institutions.
• Overcrowding/Excess of Adult Businesses. Residential overcrowding or
an excess of bars, liquor stores, or other businesses that cater exclusively to

adults that has led to problems of public safety and welfare.
• High Crime Rates. A high crime rate that constitutes a serious threat to the
public safety and welfare of Project Area residents.
Furthermore, Section 33O3O(c) of the CRL also states that a blighted area may be
one that contains inadequate public improvements, parking facilities, or utilities when
other blighting conditions are also present.

Blighting Conditions Present in Project
Over the past five years, the Agency's redevelopment activities have achieved
notable improvements and laid the foundation on which to continue the process of
improving the economic and quality of I'Ife conditions of the Arroyo Grande
community. Nonetheless, the journey toward the desired destination is still
characterized by conditions of physical and economic blight, which shall remain the
focus of the Agency's redevelopment efforts over the 2004-05 to 2008-09 period of
this Implementation Plan. •_
Some of the remaining blighting conditions include
1. Buildings in which it is undesirable for persons to live or work due to serious building
code violations, dilapidation and deterioration, deferred maintenance, defective
design or physical conditions or faulty or inadequate utilities; and
2. Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of
buildings or lots due to substandard design, inadequate size under present standards
and market conditions, and lack of parking; and
3. Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and which prevent the
economic development of those parcels or other portions of the Project Area; and
4. The existence of subdivided. lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for
proper usefulness and development that are in multiple ownership; and
5. Conditions negatively impacting property values, the proper and potential
utilization of parcels and impairing investments; and
6. Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates, high turnover rates,
abandoned buildings, and excessive vacant lots; and
7. A lack of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in a community; and
8. Residential overcrowding; and
9. The existence of inadequate public improvements, parking facilities or utilities.

Five-Year Implementation Plan
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project
Introduction
To implement the redevelopment projects and programs, the Agency plans to utilize a
mix of funding mechanisms including tax increment revenues, bonded debt,
partnerships and financial assistance from the County of San Luis Obispo, the State
of California, and/or the Federal Government. The guiding objectives of the Agency
redevelopment efforts are to catalyze a revival of the Projed Area's industrial, retail,
and commercial activity, the expansion of employment opportunities, as well as the
improvement of the quality of I'rre of the residents.
A summary and description of the Agency projects and programs planned for the
existing Projed Area, during the 2004-OS to 2008-09 Implementation Plan period
follows in the following pages. Estimates of the related expenditures are based on
staff projections and may change according to fund availability and project revenues.
Implementation Plan Objectives
Consistent with the Work Plan schedule suggested in the initial Implementation
Operations Plan, the Agency has covered sign cant ground in achieving initial
Implementation Plan phase objectives. During the 2004-05 to 2008-09 period of this
Implementation Plan, the Agency plans to continue building on those efforts and
begin to pursue those objectives and activities generally planned for the Mid- and
Long-tenn Implementation Plan phases, which are more capital and project focused.
Such actions and objectives include:
• Strengthen the City's and Projed Area's capacity to capture a greater share of the
Regional Economic Growth and Opportunities;
• Pursue projects that will help solidify and enhance the City's and Projed Area's
financial base;
• Identify opportunities to assist and support industrial, commercial, and/or
residential property owners in upgrading and marketing their properties;
• Expand employment opportunities for City residents;
• Improve the overall quality of life of the community, including upgrades to public
facilities and infrastructure, parks and recreation, and public safety;
• Identify opportunities to support home owners in improving their homes and
continue to protect and expand the supply of housing available to low- and
moderate-income households.

FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
As was the case in the initial years, the Agency's practical pursuit of the objectives
outlined above will largely depend on the availability of project funds and obligations.
Financial Resources
Over the past five years, tax increment revenues, interest income, and loans from
other City Funds have generated the funds available for the Agency to invest in the
Project Area. During the first two years of the Redevelopment Project, the estimated
total tax increment revenue was a combined $35,224.
For the purposes of this Implementation Plan, a detailed projection of the tax
increment and other sources of revenue, in addition to the various project expenditure
items, are provided in Table 3 below. This table provides a financial framework within
which the projects and programs proposed in the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment
Plan will be executed.
As is the case for many redevelopment agencies, the initial several years of the
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Plan did not produce sufficient tax increment funds to
enable the Agency to be financially self-sufficient. In order to begin operating and
implementing projects and programs, the Agency borrowed funds from other City
departments and programs with the expectation that, once tax increment funds
kicked in, it would repay such loans. The cash balances shown in Table 3 below
speak to the Agency's outstanding debt to other City departments and an expectation
that it will continue to borrow funds in order to pursue costlier projects with the
potential for high returns in tax increment. On the other hand, revenues from the
annual tax increment should begin to produce sign cant funds that may enable the
Agency to become self-sufficient and cover its debt.
In addition to the tax increment revenue estimated from existing properties,
the Agency expects a number of projects, whose completion is expected over
the next five years, which can produce tax increment value for the Agency's
use. These projects are listed for reference purposes in Table 4 below. The
estimated completion dates are provided by the Agency based on building
permits issued and initial phases of the projects completed, and/or project
planning discussions with property owners. The project's respective
estimated tax increment value produced is accounted for in the year when the
project is expected to be completed. The Taxing Agency Payments and
Housing Set Aside contributions inGuded in Table 3 (Cash Flow) account for
their individual gain from the incremental tax value expected from the various
projects itemized in Table 4.

The Agency has fonnulated the following redevelopment goals and objectives as a
means to eliminate and prevent the recurrence of the existing blighting conditions in
the Project Area:
1. Encourage the redevelopment of the Project Area subject to and consistent
with the City's General Plan and/or speck development plans as may be
adopted from time to time through the cooperation of private enterprise and
public agencies;
2. Enhance the long term economic well-being of the community;
3. Provide for the rehabilitation of commercial and industrial structures and
residential dwelling unfts;
4. Provide public infrastructure improvements and community facilities, such as
the installation, construction, and/or reconstruction of streets, utilities, public
buildings and facilities (such as facilities for pedestrian circulation and parking
facilities), storm drains, utility undergrounding, or structures, street lighting,
landscaping and other improvements which are necessary for the effective
redevelopment of the Project Area;
5. Provide for participation in the redevelopment of property in the Project Area
where feasible by owners who agree to so participate in conformity with the
Redevelopment Plan;
6. Encourage joint efforts and cooperative efforts among property owners,
businesses and public agencies to achieve desirable economic development
goals and programs and to reduce or eliminate existing blighting conditions;
7. Increase, improve and preserve the community's supply of affordable
housing;
Effective implementafion of projects and programs that aim to achieve these goals is
consistent with the Agency's mandate to eliminate and prevent the prevalence of
physical and economic blighting conditions in the Project Area. By supporting
existing homeowners in efforts to upgrade their properties, assisting potential
homeowners in purchasing houses, and providing assistance to renters, the Agency
will help preserve and expand housing opportunities available to low- and moderate-
income households. In supporting existing and attracting new retail, commercial, and
industrial, the Agency can work toward expanding employment opportunities for
residehts in the Project Area and Citywide.

Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project
This document is the Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan
("Compliance Plan") for the An•oyo Grande Redevelopment Project ("Project") of
the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency ("Agency"). This Compliance Plan
incorporates a summary of the Agency's affordable housing production activities
since adoption of the Project Area and presents an affordable housing production
plan for the first ten-year planning period (2004-05 through 2013-14).
The Project Area is located in the City of Arroyo Grande, in the San Luis Obispo
County, Cal'rfomia, located on the Central Coast of California, midway between
Los Angeles and San Francisco. The City of Arroyo Grande was incorporated
in 1911 and is 5.45 square miles in area at an elevation of 114 feet, with a
population of 16,523 (2003).
The City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande activated the City's Redevelopment
Agency on August 27, 1996 through its adoption of City Ordinance No. 479CS.
The following May of 1997, the Agency went on to approve and adopt City
Ordinance No. 487CS, which formally established the Arroyo Grande
Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area") and, by extension, approved the
complementing 30-year Redevelopment Plan ("Redevelopment Plan").
Subsequently, on January 13, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.
551 which amended the Redevelopment Plan to extend by one (1) year the
period of time during which the Redevelopment Agency may receive tax
increment from the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project. Approximately
510 acres in size, the Project Area encompasses a number of areas inside City
boundaries with certain parcels located north and south of State Highway 101.
The Redevelopment Plan and all of the activities, projects, and programs
contemplated therein are compliant with the City's Zoning Ordinance aril General
Plan.
Legal Requinnnents for Compliance Plans
Pursuant to the requirements of Sections 33413(b)(4) and 33490(a)(2) and (3) of
the Calitomia Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section
33000 et sec. ("Law"), this Compliance Plan sets forth the Agency's program for
ensuring that the appropriate number of housing units are affordable to very low,
low, and moderate income households as a result of new construction or
substantial rehabilitation in the Project Area.
Furthermore, the law provides for further definitions and requirements for the
allocation of housing funds as summarized below:
~..
ROSENOW SPEVACEKGROUP INC. PAGE 1
qa-51
TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
The CRL defines and limits assisted income categories as follows:
Very Low Income -persons or households whose gross income does
not exceed 50% of the area's median income;
Low Income -persons or households whose gross income are
greater than 50% but do not exceed 80% of the area's median
income; and
Moderate-Income -persons or households whose gross income are
greater than 80% but do not exceed 120% of the area's median
income.
The CRL defines Affordable Housing Cost as:
- Verv Low -Not more than 30% of 50% of the County median
household income;
-Low - Noi more than 30% of 70% (or 60% for rental projects) of
the County median household income; and
-Moderate -Not more than 35% of 110% (or 30% of 120% for
rental projects) of the County median household income.
Compliance with AB 637 and SB 701
This Compliance Plan is consistent with recent changes enacted into the Law
pursuant to Assembly Bill 637 (Lowenthal) and Senate Bill 701 (Toriakson).
Among these sign cant amendments are:
55/45 Year Minimum Affordability Periods: Effective January 1, 2002, all new
or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units assisted by the Tax Increment
Housing Set-Aside ("Housing Fund"), replacement housing, and inclusionary
housing must be affofdable for 55 years (rental units) or 45 years (owner-
occupied units). Units assisted, rehabilitated or constructed prior to January
1, 2002 may have shorter time limits.
Substantial Rehabilitation: After January 1, 2002, substantially rehabilitated
dwelling units' means all units substantially rehabilitated with agency
assistance. Prior to January 1, 2002, substantially rehabilitated dwelling units
means substantially rehabilitated multi-family rental dwelling units with three
or more units regardless of whether there is agency assistance, or single
family units substantially rehabilitated wRh agency assistance.
• Replacement Housing: Effective January 1, 2002, 100% of ail replacement
housing units must be affordable to the same income categories as those
displaced. Previously, only 75% of the units had to match the displaced
income categories.
• Taroetino Housing Fund ExpendRures: Effective January 2003, the Law now
requires that Housing Fund assistance during the 10-year Compliance Plan
mirror the community's needs, both in terms of the income categories
needed, and the number of family (versus senior) housing needed. (The Law
provides an additional five years to meet this requirement if an agency

deposfted less than $2 million over the first five years of the Compliance
Plan.)
Contents of the Compliance Plan
This Compliance Plan has been developed to accomplish fhe following goals:
• To account for the number of affordable dwelling units, either constructed or
substantially rehabilitated in the Project Area, since its adoption;
• To forecast the estimated number of dwelling units to be privately developed
or substantially rehabilitated between fiscal years 200405 through 2013-2014
and over the duration of the Redevelopment Plan;
• To forecast the estimated number of dwelling units to be developed or
substantially rehabilitated by the Agency between fiscal years 200405
through 2013-2014;
• To project the availability of Agency revenue for funding affordable housing
production;
• To identify implementation policies/programs and potential sites for affordable
housing development;
• To establish a timeline for implementing this Compliance Plan to ensure that
the requirements of Section 33413 are met during the ten-year period
between fiscal years 2004-05 and 2013-2014; and
• To review the consistency of Agency affordable housing goals, objectives,
and programs pursuant to the City's Housing Element.
Purpose
Since 1976, redevelopment agencies have been n=,quired to assure that at least
30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated units developed by an agency are
available at affordable costs to households of very low, low, or moderate-income.
Of this 30%, not less than 50% are required to be available at affordable costs to
very low-income households. Further, for all units developed in the project area
by entities other than an agency, the Law requires that at least 15% of all new or
substantially rehabilitated dwelling units within the project area be made available
at affordable costs to low- or moderate-income households. Of these, not less
than 40% of the dwelling units are required to be available at affordable costs to
very low-income households. These requirements are applicable to housing. units
as aggregated, and not on aproject-by-project basis to each dwelling unit created
or substantially rehabilitated, unless so required by an agency.
In 1992, the Law was amended to require redevelopment agencies to prepare a
plan that demonstrated how the agency would achieve the aforementioned
affordable housing mandates. Known as housing compliance plans, the Law also
requires agencies to update said plans every five years.

tYlethodolog)r and Data Compilation
This Compliance Plan takes into account all residential construction or substantial
rehabilitation that has occurred within the Project Area since adoption of the Plan.
In order to determine affordable housing production needs; the Compliance Plan
accounts for existing residential construction and substantial rehabilitation, and
includes projections of new dwelling units that may be constructed or substantially
rehabilitated during the ten-year planning period.
Historical construction and substantial rehabilitation statistics were provided by
the Agency. It should be noted that neither the existing housing stock nor
projections for future dwelling units include any units to be developed by the
Agency. However, the Agency will continue to cooperate with and provide
assistance and incentives to pdvate developers, in order to meet affordable
housing production needs.

Table 1 summarizes the Agency's Affordable Housing Productbn Needs for the
period from the 1997 adoption of the Project Area to 2004 and provides projected
needs for the next two five-year periods based on historicel construction trends
and the percentage of overall housing construction projected to take place within
the Project Area. Affordable housing units an: based on the percentages
required by the Law. According to data supplied by the Building and Fire
Departments, a total of 945 units were built citywide between January 1997 and
September 2004. During this 7.75 year period, an average of 122 units were
constructed per year. Of the 945 units, roughly 26 units were constructed within
the Project Area boundaries. Of the 26 units built from 1997 to 2004, the
corresponding housing needs amount to 4 affordable units, 2 of which must be
restricted for very low-income and the remaining 2 restricted for low to moderate-
income households.

TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
In the two subsequent five year periods shown on Table 1, the Agency estimates
that 40% of the 122 (average from 1997-2004) new citywide housing units per
year or 48 units will be constructed within the Project Area. This is based upon
the percentage of overall housing opportunity sites located within the Project Area
as idenfrfied in the 2003 Housing Element. In addition to the 26 units already built
from 1997 to 2004, over the 2004-2014 period of this Compliance Plan, it is
estimated that 488 housing units would be built in the Project Area. An estimated
514 housing units would have been built in the Project Area from 1997 to 2014
thus triggering the following statutory housing requirements:
Fifteen percent (15%) or 77 of the 514 units must be affordable to very
low, low and moderate income households.
o Forty percent (40%) or 31 of the 77 units must be affordable to
very low income households;
o Sixty percent (60%) or 46 of the 77 units must be affordable to low
and moderate income households.
It is anticipated that, as the community approaches "build out,' housing production
will slow from its higher recent rates. For estimating purposes, the 1990 thru
2000 annual average of 75 units is used for the final 14 years of the
redevelopment plan. Extending this calculation thru 2027, it is estimated that the
total affordable housing requirement for the Agency will be 140 units, further
broken dowh into 56 units for very low income households and 84 units for low
and moderate income households.
Planning Period Atiordable Hous~g Production Needs
Section 33413(b) of the Law requires that not less than 30% ("30% units") of
Agency developed or substantially rehabilitated housing units and 15% ("15%
unts") of all other units developed or substantially rehabilitated within the Project
Area must be reserved and affordable to low- and moderate-income households.
These affordable housing production requirements must be met during the
planning period, which ends after fiscal year 2013-2014. To satisfy the Agency's
production needs, units that are either developed or substantially rehabilitated
must feature 45 or 55-year covenants. Units may be constructed inside or
outside the Project Area, but units provided outside a project area count on a 2-
for-1 basis. The Agency may also purchase 55-year affordability covenants on
multifamily units.
Currently, the Agency does not intend to develop or substantially rehabilitate
existing housing units either inside or outside the project area. However, the
Agency and/or City may assist or partner with anon-profit organization or the San
Luis Obispo Housing Authority to acquire one or more sites to facilitate affordable
housing construction for very low and low income rental or ownership
development.

TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Production Needs over Duration of Redevelopment Plan
Trend Analysis
Until recently, the bulk of the Project Area was designated non-residential on the
1990 General Plan and zoned as Office, Commercial, Industrial and Public
Facility districts. The 2001 General Plan Update changed these to Mixed-Use
designation allowing multiple-family residential development. During late 2003
and 2004, the City also amended its Development Code to implement the Mixed-
Use zones and enable multiple-family developments. Where almost all
residential development was previously zoned to be constructed outside the
Project Area, the Community Development Department now estimates that
approximately 40% of "Housing Opportunity Site" potential residential
development will be built within the Project Area. Most of the higher density,
multiple-family and mixed-use development conducive to affordability is within the
Project Area with some initial residential development already being constructed.
Regional Housing Needs Assessmertt
The San Luis Obispo Council of Govemments (SLOCOG) completed its
calculations of the Regional Housing Needs Plan and provided the City's speck
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals for the planning period
(January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2008). According to this report, the City's
housing goal is to accommodate 1,192 housing units over this period; these units
are further broken down by income category subyoals, as summarized Table 2
below.

The share of the very-low and low-income affordable housing units to be
produced is nearly 45% of the total RHNA goal for the City. Moderate-income
housing units represent roughly 22% of this goal while Above-Moderate housing
covers nearly 33% of the City's RHNA goal.

TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
It should be noted that the trend analysis and projection presented in Table 1
differ from the City's 2003 Housing Element and the current RHNA goals as
determined by SLOCOG and the Cal'rfomia State Department of Housing and
' Community Development (HCD). While the City's Housing Element policies have
been designed to meet the RHNA goals, the figures within this plan have been
determined based upon the most realistic housing construction projections in
order to ensure compliance with redevelopment housing requirements. Of the
1,192 RHNA goals, the very low, low and moderate income sub-goals add up to
792 units. Based on the analysis presented in Table 3 below, Agency and City
efforts may produce up'to 189 units within the Project Area and citywide. This
would constitute roughly 24% of the RHNA affordable housing unit goal for the
City.
Affordable Units Produced or Reserved
Until recently, given the lack of adequate financial resources accumulated from
the low- and moderate-income housing set aside (20%), the Agency has not
been able to invest in or initiate the construction or rehabilitation of housing units
since the Project was adopted in 1997. However, for the past three years, the
Agency has worked on negotiations to reach a Disposition and Development
Agreement (DDA), which was secured in 2004 that will create 107 units for very
low and low-income senior households. Concurrent with these efforts, the
Agency has dedicated signficant staff resources to assist various residential
development projects progress through the planning and permit process as well
as facilitate various innovative funding approaches. Table 3 below summarizes
some of the projects in which the Agency expects to participate, in partnership
with local housing authority and People's Self Help Housing, a nonprofit
affordable housing organization, and neighboring cities, over the duration of this
Housing Plan to pursue the expansion of housing affordable to low- and
moderate-income households.
Based on the estimate of the affordable housing units to be provided over the
next five years from projects that have been permitted and/or are undergoing the
approval process, summarized in Table 3 below, an average of 38 units will be
built over the first five year period of the ten year compliance plan.

Based on the estimates provided in Table 3, the Agency's efforts to support
residential development may produce up to 189 affordable housing units within
the Project Area well within the 2004-2009 period. This would in essence enable
the Agency to meet the 140 unit requirement triggered by the housing units built
since the creation of the Project (1997) thru the end of the Project Area term
(2027).
However, the 189 affordable units the Agency expects to be built over the 2004-
09 period would not be sufficient to meet the 792 unit RHNA goal for 2001-08.
The Agency and City could, based on these estimates, meet roughly 24% of the
RHNA goal, which is in itseff a worthy achievement given the real estate pressure
toward market-price housing and the water and land constraints. This table
includes only those potential projects for which some level of planning is
underway. The City projects that other proposals will be developed to pursue the
RHNA goals. The mixed-use zoning in the Project Area is designed to
accommodate the capability to meet the RHNA goals.

TerfYear Affordable Housing Compliance Plan
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project
The Law requires that whenever dwelling units housing low and moderate-
income households are destroyed as part of an Agency project, the Agency is
responsible for ensuring that an equivalent number of replacement units are
constructed or substantially rehabilitated. These units must provide at least the
same number of bedrooms destroyed, and 100% of the replacement units must
be affordable to the same income categories (i.e. very low, low, and moderate) as
those removed. The Agency receives a full credit for replacement units created
' inside or outside the Project Area.
According to Agency staff, no units have been destroyed by Agency activity.
Additionally, no units are expelled to be destroyed or removed as a part of an
Agency project during the planning period. Therefore, no units are expected to
be replaced as a result of the Agency's housing actions during the upcoming
Housing Implementation Plan period.

One of the Agency's primary sources of revenues for housing program
implementation is the annual 20% housing set-aside deposits. The Law requires
that not less than 20% of all tax increment revenue allogted to the Agency must
be used to increase, improve, and preserve the communitys supply of housing
available, at affordable housing cost, to persons and families of very low, low-,
and moderate-incomes.
Table 4 below summarizes the Agency's estimated Low- and Moderate-Income
Housing Fund balance, revenues, and expenditures over the duration of this
Housing Plan. The forecast of revenues is based on a conservative 2% growth
rate in Project Area secured assessed values. The cash flows are based on
estimates of the tax increment funds only. However, the City will supplement this
funding with other sources of revenue, primarily In-Lieu Fee funding.

Based on these projections, the Agency may have approximately $1,876,041 of
housing fund revenue and fund balance during the 2004-2014 housing
compliance period.
Targetuig of Housing Fund F_xpenditures
As set forth by Section 33333.4 of the Law, each agency shall expend, over the
duration of the planning period 2004-05 to 2013-14 (the Compliance Plan period),
the moneys in the Housing Fund in proportion to the community need, both in
terms of the income categories and the number of senior households assisted.
SPEVACEK GROUP INC. PAGE 11
qa-(.~I
TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Pursuant to Section 33334.4(c), the Agency will have 5 additional years beyond
the 10-year planning period (15 years total) to meet these obligations, since it
deposited less than $2 million in the Housing Fund during the first five years.
Income Categories Assisted
Pursuant to Section 33334.4(a) of the Law, Housing Fund expenditures must be
expended at a minimum in proportion to the City's fair share of the RHNA unit
need for very low and'low income units as compared to the total unit need for
very low, low and moderate income units. The number of units in each income
category in the City's RHNA figures may be adjusted for units not assisted by the
Agency that feature 55 or 45-year covenants.
The current RHNA figures for the City cover the time period of 2001 through
2008, and indicate a need for 259 moderate-income units, 223 low-income units,
and 310 very low-income units. Based on these figures, the Agency's Housing
Fund expendtures must be spread among the following categories: very low
income 39% and low income 28% with the remaining 33% of the funds available
for use in any very low, low and moderate income housing projects.
The $1,876,041 of available Housing Fund revenue would need to be allocated
based on these RHNA-based ratios, as summarized in Table 5 below. Pursuant
to Section 3334.4 of the Law, the Agency must, at a minimum, spend 67% of the
housing funds toward the creation of units that benefit those households in the
very low and low income categories. The remaining 33% of these housing set-
aside funds can be spent on projects benefiting very low, low, or moderate
income households.
1. Redevelopment Law requires that the Agency spend
at least 67% of the Housing Set-Aside and In-Lieu housing funds
toward the production of very low- and low-income housing units.
The remaining 33 % of the funds are unrestricted and thus
they can be allocated to very low, low and moderate income
housing projects.
Family and Senior Housing
Section 33334.4(b) requires that Housing Fund expenditures for senior housing
also be in proportion to the community's population of that age, according to the
most recent Census. Accordingly, since 20.3% of the City's Census 2000
ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP INC. PAGE 12
q a-Coo.
TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
population was over the age of 65', not more than 20.3% of the Agency's
available housing fund revenues (approximately $380,836 of the $1,876,041
projected for the planning period) may be expended on senior housing projects.
The Agency will provide financial assistance (approximately $100,000) over the
2004-2005 period from the housing funds to the Courtland/Grand Senior
Apartments project, which will produce 107 units affordable to low-income
seniors. Accordingly, the Agency can use up to $280,836 housing funds toward
the construction of senior housing.
With 79.7% of Arroyo's population being under the age of 65, the Agency must
dedicate this portion of the housing funds toward the development of norrsenior
housing units, inclusive of families and single individuals. This translates into
$1,495,205 of the housing funds being spent toward these segments of the City's
population.

Ter~Year AfFordable Housing Compliance Plan
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project
The Agency proposes to implement a range of programs to assist in the
development of housing projects that can translate into low- and moderate-
income units or In-Lieu Fees, which the Agency can then use in other affordable
housing efforts.
A crucial effort to be undertaken by the City and which directly affects the
Agency's ability to meet the RHNA goals is the effective implementation of the
Water Conversation Program and efforts to identify additional water sources. At
the current consumption rate of 190 gallons per day per capita and given the
City's 6% available water supply, 429 units would be accommodated in the City
rather than the 1,192 units required by the RHNA goals. However, the City is
currently expanding its water conservation efforts and has initiated a number of
studies on potential additional water sources.
Future Planning Period Housing Projects and Programs
The Agency may, to the extent permitted by law and land use designation, inside
or outside the Project Area, acquire land, sell or lease land, donate land, improve
sites, acquire afforcJability covenants, construct or rehabilitate structures, or use
any other method authorized by Law, in order to provide housing for persons and
families of low- or moderate-income. All housing projects will be required to
restrict a percentage of units for very low, low or moderate income families. The
percentage is based on density and thus, density bonuses will be used to
increase the production of affordable units. The Agency may also provide
subsidies to, or for the benefit of, such persons and families or households to
assist them in obtaining affordable housing within the City.
The Agency will continue its efforts to seek motivated property owners,
developers and builders to partner and meet the affordable housing standards set
for the Agency by Law. The City through its General Plan will explore programs
and funding (in addition to tax increment set-aside funds) for citywide production
of affordable housing. It is expected the Agency's affordable housing production
requirements to build very low, low and moderate-income units will benefit from
this action.
Future Affordable Housing Projects
The Agency currently is involved in assisting the Courtland/Grand Senior
Apartments Project during 2004-05. The Agency's financial and administrative
assistance will provide 107 affordable low income seniors within the Project Area
boundaries. In addition, the Agency may provide up to $1 million in Housing
Funds, along with City funds, to a project expected to produce affordable housing
units -the Td-W EImlGrand Center mixed-use project. It is also planning to
ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP INC. PAGE 14
~a- ~~
TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
utilize Housing Funds to purchase property on Brisco Road for a joint affordable
housing project with People's Self Help or the San Luis Obispo Housing Authority.
Water Conservation Program and Prioritization of Lower-Income
Developments
As previously stated, water supply constraints may cut the Agency's ability to
meet RHNA's low- and moderate-income housing goals short. Thus, the Agency
will monitor the progress and outcome of the conservation plan. Furthermore, an
important policy statement in the Housing Element is the City's intention of getting
the local water and sewer providers to prioritize these services for housing
development projects that will produce units affordable to lower-income
households. This prioritization would benefit the Agency's effort to ensure the
production of low- and moderate-income housing units in compliance with the
RHNA goals.
Section 8 Rental Housing Assistance
The City of Arroyo Grande and the Agency will continue to contract and
coordinate with the San Luis Obispo Housing Authority to maintain and expand
Section 8 rental housing assistance to qualified households.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other sources of
Funding to Support Rehabilitation of Very Low, Low, and Moderate•
Income Housing
To augment the limited housing set-aside funds available, the Agency and the
City will research, identify, and pursue grants, loans, and/or issuance of bonds to
support, among others, the rehabilitation of second story residential units in the
Village Core and/or mixed use housing within the East Grand Avenue corridor.
Prioritize Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds to Very-Low and Low
Income Housing
Nearly all of the 945 units built or issued a building permit between 1997 and
2004 have been in the moderate and above-moderate income housing brackets.
The challenge for the Agency and the City is to encourage and support housing
projects for very-low and low-income households. Thus, the Agency will develop
a program whereby the available housing set-aside funds will be utilized primarily
to support low- and very-low income housing projects.
Potential Sites for Future Production Housing
According to the 2003 Arroyo Grande Housing Element, there is about 397.93
acres of residentially zoned land within the City boundaries. It is estimated that
'--i this acreage could yield about 1,268 units over the next ten years. Production of
this capacity would more than meet the RHNA housing goals for'the City.
However, Agency officials estimate that water constraints could inhibit further
residential development within the next five years.

TEN -YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
The estimates of the housing capacity included in the 2003 Housing Element are
being reconsidered as part of an effort by the Agency and the Community
Development Department to get the State's HCD office to modify the City's ability
and capacity to produce units to meet its RHNA goals. This. effort has not
secured approval by the HCD office as of the adoption of this Compliance Plan.
However, the updated numbers are provided herein for reference and context
purposes.
According to the updated inventory, summarized in Table 6 below, the City has
the potential to produce enough housing units to meet the individual income-
specific goals set by RHNA given the housing projects already approved and/or
pending for approval as well as the opportunity sites ident~ed. In addition, the
City has taken the steps to encourage and establish procedures for property
owners to build second dwellings on their lots and the recently instated mixed-use
policy for some of the City's commercial corridors promises to expand the
capacity for more housing units. The updated capacity for additional housing
units is 1,403. Construction of these units will depend on the City's ability to
manage the current water constraints and/or identify new water supply sources.

Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project
Because this Compliance Plan focuses on providing housing for low to moderate-
income households, who are generally the most difficult segment of the
community to provide housing for, it is clearly consistent with the Housing
Element's goal to provide housing for all economic groups within the Project
Areas. Both this Compliance Plan and the Housing Element state that there is a
definite need to ensure an adequate supply of housing for the lower income
segments of the community.
A major focal point of the goals, policies, and objectives of the Housing Element is
to provide housing for all economic segments of the Project Areas, especially
lower income families. Because the major goal of this Compliance Plan is also to
provide housing for these lower income households, and the proposed plans and
programs for improving the supply of affordable housing in the Project Area
presented in this Compliance Plan are similar to plans and policies of the Housing
Element, there is clearly consistency between the Compliance Plan and the
Housing Element.

Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan
Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project
As detailed in the Introduction of this document, the Agency is required to
produce an Implementation Plan every five years, an integral part of which is the
Housing Compliance component. After adoption of the first implementation plan,
a new plan is to be adopted every five years either in conjunction with the housing
element cycle or the implementation plan cycle.
Implementation Plan Adoption Process
Each Implementation Plan must be presented and adopted at a duly notice public
hearing of the Agency. Notice of the public hearing must be conducted pursuant
to this Section 33490 of the Law. The Notice must be published pursuant to
Section 6063 of the Government Code, mailed at least three weeks in advance to
all persons and agencies that have requested notice, and posted in at least four
permanent places within the Project Area fora period of three weeks.
Publication, mailing, and posting shall be completed not less than 10 days prior to
the date set for hearing.
The Agency may amend the implementation plan, including the housing
compliance component, at any time after conducting a public hearing on the
proposed amendment.
Mid-Term Implementation Plan Review Process
At least once within the five-year term of this Implementation Plan, the Agency
must conduct a public hearing and hear testimony of all interested parties for the
purpose of reviewing the redevelopment plan and the coresponding
implementation for each redevelopment project. This hearing must take place no
earlier than two years and no later than three years after the adoption of the
Implementation Plan.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROB STRONG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BY: KELLY HEFFERNON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PRE-APPLICATION CASE NO. 07-004 TO
SUBDIVIDE A 0.58 ACRE PROPERTY INTO SIX (6)
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND TWO (2)
OPEN SPACE LOTS; LOCATION -SOUTHWEST CORNER OF
CEDAR AND ASPEN STREETS; APPLICANT - PRAGNA PATEL
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council review the project plans and provide suggestions
and comments to the applicant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact to the City.
BACKGROUND:
Project Location:
'~a,..~
CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 23, 2007
PRE 07-004
PAGE 2
The project site is located on the southwest corner of Cedar and Aspen Streets and is
approximately 0.58 acres in size. The vacant property is relatively flat and contains
several mature oak trees, proposed to remain. Surrounding the site is single-family
residential development to the north, east and west, and multi-family development to the
south. The site is currently zoned Single Family Residential (SF).
The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into six (6) residential lots and two (2)
open space lots in order to provide affordable housing for the company's employees and
their families (see Attachment 1 for letter of intent from applicant). The two (2) houses
along the frontage are proposed to be sold at market price to help offset the cost of
constructing the affordable units. The two market rate units will likely sell at a "workforce"
level of income by virtue of design ("workforce' is defined by Title 22 of the County Code
as 160% of County median income). The four (4) interior units, or 66% of the project,
would be deed restricted to either the moderate-income orlower-income level.
The Planning Commission considered this project on July 17, 2007 and discussed issues
related to parking, site distance at the corner of Aspen and Cedar Streets, oak tree
protection, secondary units, and need for a homeowners association (see Attachment 2
for Meeting Minutes). Overall the Commission liked the project, stating it has a good
design concept and appreciated the good intent of providing affordable housing for
employees.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are offered for Council consideration:
- Provide direction to applicant that City Council conceptually supports the
project proposal;
- Provide direction to the applicant that increased density is not supported at
this location;
- Provide direction to applicant that the City Council would support increased
density if parking deficiencies can be addressed, or
- Provide other direction to applicant regarding project concerns or desired
changes.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The current zoning of the property is Single Family Residential (SF), which allows up to
4.5 dwelling units per acre (or 2 units in this case). Therefore, the applicant will need to
pursue General Plan and Development Code Amendments to change the land use and
zoning to Multiple Family (MF). The formal submittal will also include applications for a
tract map and planned unit development.
Because this is predominantly an affordable housing project, the applicant is requesting a
density bonus of one (1) unit. Based on nine (9) dwelling units per acre allowable in the
MF zoning district, the property can accommodate up to 5.22 units. Based on State
density bonus law, the City must grant one density bonus and incentives or concessions
when an applicant seeks and agrees to construct a housing development, excluding any
units permitted by the density bonus awarded that will contain at least any one of the
following (see Attachment 3 for Government Code Section 65915):
ita-z
CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 23, 2007
PRE 07-004
PAGE 3
• If at least 5% of the units are affordable to very-low income
households, the project is eligible fora 20% density bonus.
• If at least 10% of the units are affordable to low income households,
then the project is eligible fora 20% density bonus.
• If 10% of condominium or planned development units are affordable to
moderate income households, then the project is eligible to receive a
5% density bonus.
As proposed, the applicant would be providing three (3) additional affordable units (either
moderate income or low-income). The applicant would need to restrict at least one unit to
the low income affordable housing level to qualify fora 20% density bonus. The applicant
is seeking a 15% density bonus in order to provide a sixth unit, less than what the law
requires. Therefore, the density will be allowable if rezoning is approved by City Council
and one unit is designated low-income. However, the City Council has discretion over
approval of rezoning if there is not support of the proposed density.
The applicant is also seeking a parking concession. For small lot planned unit
developments, the Development Code requires two (2) spaces per unit within an
enclosed garage plus 0.5 space per unit for visitor parking. The applicant shows all but
one lot with two spaces within an enclosed garage. Lot 2 has a tandem parking
configuration, with one space within a garage and one uncovered space in the driveway.
The one-way circular driveway allows for one (1) additional space, and the access drive
to the back lots shows three (3) additional spaces. The second units are allocated one
(1) open space; Lot 3 has one dedicated space on site and Lot 4 has one located on the
access drive. With six (6) units, three (3) visitor parking spaces are required. The project
meets that with four (4) spaces (one being dedicated to Lot 4).
Included with the project plans (Attachment 4) are pictures of the site and surrounding
area, a site plan, three dimensional computer images of the proposed development,
examples of architectural style, and floor plans. The site plan shows the two common
areas connected by a pedestrian path, footprints for the residential units (including
second units for two of the lots), parking areas, circulation, setbacks, and preliminary
landscaping.
ADVANTAGES:
As proposed, the project will provide infill housing to help meet the City's affordable
housing needs. It will also provide transitional development between multiple family and
single-family residential development.
DISADVANTAGES:
There are design concerns with the project, especially related to circulation and parking.
As proposed, the applicant would be seeking parking concessions, which could cause
parking problems within the immediate neighborhood. Lastly, the two (2) units
proposed for "workforce" housing would not qualify as affordable units under the City's
inclusionary or density bonus regulations.

Deaz Planning Department, Plazming Commission and City Council Members:
Thank you for taking the time to consider our project. In the hotel management business
one of our greatest difficulties is retaining qualified employees: Many of our employees
aze forced to relocate due to the lack of affordable housing. I come before you today with,
a vision that will provide affordable housing to our employees and their families.
The housing project will consist of six housing units, two common azeas, playgrourid -
equipment, barbecue amenities, benches, grass azeas, trees, pazking spaces and walkways.
The homes will be available to lower income families, moderate income families and - .
workforce income families. The project will incorporate environmentally friendly
landscaping as well as quality construction and materials.
Our overall goal is to provide our qualified, dedicated employees' with a beautiful, safe
and affordable housing community that will positively impact the neighborhoods and city
of Arroyo Grande.
Thank you for your consideration.

A. PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW CASE NO. 07-004; APPLICANT - ASPEN
PROPERTIES, LLC; REPRESENTATIVE - PRAGNA PATEL; LOCATION -
VACANT LOT ON SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CEDAR and ASPEN STREETS.
Associate Planner, Kelly Heffernon, presented the staff report for a proposal for an
affordable housing development, consisting of six houses, two secondary dwellings, and
two open space parcels. Garage roofs will not be flat as shown. She noted that if this
project moves forward, staff will update the affordable housing ordinance for
consistency with the Certified Housing Element and recent state laws. In response to
Commissioner questions, she stated that there are eight proposed dwelling units
(including six lots, two of which have secondary units); the two units on Cedar Street will
be sold at market rate and do not have secondary units; the secondary units would be
rentals (to help the property owner make mortgage payments); concessions can be
made, since this will come forward as a Planned Unit Development, and the affordable
component is such a major factor in it; SAC did not have "major" concerns, but they
requested an interior fire hydrant, parking improvements (some backout spaces and
landscape areas need to be reconfigured), and reconfiguration of the corner house
setback to aid with site distance; and some circulation issues will have to be cleaned up
with submittal of the formal application.
Chair Ray opened the public hearing for public comment.
Pragna Patel, applicant, spoke in support of the project, giving history and reasons for
doing it. She's owned the property for 3-4 years, and bought it with the intent to provide
affordable housing for her hotel employees, who are 70-80% in the lower income
bracket. Most employees live in the Five Cities area already. She described in further
detail the open space amenities (like benches for "chit chat"), need for employee
affordable housing due to retention issues, and willingness to make changes as already
suggested by SAC and ARC. She is hoping employees can start off by renting, and
then purchase units. The secondary units are like studio apartments (not three.
bedroom homes). They will reconsider parking and corner lot setback arrangements.
She didn't want attached or stacked housing, and it doesn't have to be ugly just
because it's affordable -she'd like to keep it green and a nice environment for
employees to live in. She's learned about designing environmentally friendly projects
from a recent one in Cambria and hopes to use similar techniques here.

Chair Ray closed the public hearing for public comment.
Commissioner comments:
Marshall
• He liked the sentiment that ARC expressed about this project "providing harmony
to a disharmonious area".
• He had concerns about parking in the back corner, but is glad that will be fixed
upon resubmittal.
• It looks like a nice transition between MF and SF housing.
Keen
• He also noted the site distance issue identified by ARC. The corner house does
need to be set back further.
• He's glad the garages won't have flat roofs.
• It's basically a good concept and he appreciates what they're doing.
• He's glad they're saving the oak trees.
• Parking needs to be redesigned, but he didn't have any suggested solutions.
Tait
• He's also glad about saving the oak trees.
• They're on the right track and it's a good start. The suggestions regarding
parking, circulation and the corner house setback need to be taken into account
upon resubmittal.
• Secondary units are another form of affordable housing and a great idea. They
provide for a stable neighborhood and flexible household structures, by offering
both community and privacy.
• He likes the large common areas, open space, playground, pedestrian paths and
porous pavers.
• He thanked and commended the applicant for her affordable housing efforts.
• He applauds the environmentally friendly landscaping and materials, and
suggested the applicant discuss green building further with City staff.
• Affordable units should not look much different from the market rate units, so as
not to segregate them.
• This should be an attractive project and he looks forward to seeing it again.
Ray
• She thanked SAC and ARC for doing the bulk of review.
• She likes the idea of a built-in community concept and that it's gone way beyond
traditional affordable housing projects with a fresh approach.
• The parking obviously will need to be redesigned.
• They may need to present a shared maintenance agreement for the property as
a whole in the form of a HOA or other agreement.

~(a.$
The local government shall enforce an equity-sharing agreement,
unless it is in conflict with the requirements of another public
funding source or law. The following apply to the equity-sharing
agreement
(A) Upon resale, the seller of the unit shall retain the value of
any improvements, the downpayment, and the seller's proportionate
share of appreciation. The local government shall recapture any

the initial subsidy to the fair market value of the home at the time
of initial sale.
(d) (1) An applicant for a density bonus pursuant to subdivision
(b) may submit to a city, county, or city and county a proposal for
the specific incentives or concessions that the applicant requests
pursuant to this section, and may request a meeting with the city,

shall grant the concession or incentive requested by the applicant
unless the city, county, or city and county makes a written finding,
based upon substantial evidence, of either of the following:
(A) The concession or incentive is not required in order to
provide for affordable housing costs, as defined in Section 50052.5
of the Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units to
be set as specified in subdivision (c).
(B) The concession or incentive would have a specific adverse
impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section
65589.5, upon public health and safety or the physical environment or'
on any real property that is listed in the California Register of
Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to
satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without
rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income
households.
(2) The applicant shall receive the following number of incentives
or concessions:
(A) One incentive or concession for projects that include at least
10 percent of the total units for lower income households, at least
5 percent for very low income households, or at least 10 percent for
persons and families of moderate income in a common interest
development.
(B) Two incentives or concessions for projects that include at
least 20 percent of the total units for lower income households, at
least 10 percent for very low income households, or at least 20
percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common
interest development.

(C) Three incentives or concessions for projects that include at
least 30 percent of the total units for lower income households, at
least 15 percent for very low income households, or at least 30
percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common
interest development.
(3) The applicant may initiate judicial proceedings if the city,
county, or city and county refuses to grant a requested density
bonus, incentive, or concession. If a court finds that the refusal to
grant a requested density bonus, incentive, or concession is in
violation of this section, the court shall award the plaintiff
reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit. Nothing in this
subdivision shall be interpreted to require a local government to
grant an incentive or concession that has a specific, adverse impact,
as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5,
upon health, safety, or the physical environment, and for which there
is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
specific adverse impact. Nothing in this subdivision shall be
interpreted to require a local government to grant an incentive or
concession that would have an adverse impact on any real property
that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.
The city, county, or city and county shall,establish procedures for
carrying out this section, that shall include legislative body
approval of the means of compliance with this section. The city,
county, or city and county shall also establish procedures for
waiving or modifying development and zoning standards that would
otherwise inhibit the utilization of the density bonus on specific
sites. These procedures shall include, but not be limited to, such
items as minimum lot size, side yard setbacks, and placement of
public works improvements.
(e) In no case may a city, county, or city and county apply any
development standard that will have the effect of precluding the
construction of a development meeting the criteria of subdivision (b)
at the densities or with the concessions or incentives permitted by
this section. An applicant may submit to a city, county, or city and
county a proposal for the waiver or reduction of development
standards and may request a meeting with the city, county, or city
and county. If a court finds that the refusal to grant a waiver or
reduction of development standards is in''violation of this section,
the court shall award the plaintiff reasonable attorney's fees and
costs of suit. Nothing in this subdivision shall be interpreted to
require a local government to waive or reduce development standards
if the waiver or reduction would have a specific, adverse impact, as
defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5, upon
health, safety, or the physical environment, and for which there is
no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific
adverse impact. Nothing in this subdivision shall be interpreted to
require a local government to waive or reduce development standards
that would have an adverse impact on any real property that is listed
in the California Register of Historical Resources.
(t) The applicant shall show that the waiver or modification is
necessary to make the housing units economically feasible.

(5) All density calculations resulting in fractional units shall
be rounded up to the next whole number. The granting of a density
bonus shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a
general plan amendment, local coastal plan amendment, zoning change,
or other discretionary approval. As used in subdivision (b), "total

(2) This increase shall be in addition to any increase in density
mandated by subdivision (b), up to a maximum combined mandated
density increase of 35 percent if an applicant seeks both the
increase required pursuant to this subdivision and subdivision (b).
All density calculations resulting in fractional units shall be
rounded up to the next whole number. Nothing in this subdivision
shall be construed to enlarge or diminish the authority of a city,
county, or city and county to require a developer to donate land as a
condition of development. An applicant shall be eligible for the
increased density bonus described in this subdivision if all of the
following conditions are met:
(A) The applicant donates and transfers the land no later than the
date of approval of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or
residential development application.

appropriate zoning and development standards to make the development
of the affordable units feasible. No later than the date of approval
of the final subdivision map, parcel map, or of the residential
development, the transferred land shall have all of the permits and
approvals, other than building permits, necessary for the development
of the very low income housing units on the transferred land, except

which the density bonus units are required to remain affordable
pursuant to subdivision (c).
(B) Of the children who attend the child care facility, the
children of very low income households, lower income households, or
families of moderate income shall equal a percentage that is equal to
or greater than the percentage of dwelling units that are required
for very low income households, lower income households, or families
of moderate income pursuant to subdivision (b).
(3) Notwithstanding any requirement of this subdivision, a city,
county, or a city and county shall not be required to provide a
density bonus or concession for a child care facility if it finds,
based upon substantial evidence, that the community has adequate
child care facilities.

rehabilitation of an existing multifamily dwelling, as defined in
subdivision (d) of Section 65863.4, where the result of the
rehabilitation would be a net increase in available residential
units. For the purpose of calculating a density bonus, the -
residential units do not have to be based upon individual subdivision
maps or parcels. The density bonus shall be permitted in geographic
areas of the housing development other than the areas where the units
for the lower income households are located.

that would otherwise be required that results in identifiable,
financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions.
(2) Approval of mixed use zoning in conjunction with the housing
project if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will
reduce the cost of the housing development and if the commercial,
office, industrial, or other land uses are compatible with the
