would coordinate well with everything being planned for Subarea 1. He agreed that there were
several feasible drainage alternatives for each lot, which would provide some flexibility on how

Tonv Janowicz, Lierly Lane, spoke in support of the Neighborhood Plan and rezoning as proposed.
Upon hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing.
Council Member Guthrie provided the following comments:
- Expressed concern if the City would ever see the vegetated farm buffer that was expected as
part of Subarea 2; however, he supported moving fonvard with the proposal;
- Expressed concern relating to the drainage plan and stated it was in the community's best
interest to provide as much direction as possible as far as coordinating the drainage in this area;
- Stated that while a number of the drainage options may be feasible, he felt the City has an
obligation to provide the best, most coordinated plan for the drainage;
- He noted that in the past, individual surface drainage basins have been undesirable in other
locations and would be as undesirable in this location;
- Does not support drainage solutions that would dump directly into the creek
- Could support the Neighborhood Plan if two of the drainage options are eliminated; not allowing
surface basins and not allowing dumping directly into the creek, except by using a coordinated
plan; would support a single basin for the entire area.
Council Member Costello provided the following comments:
- Would also like to see one coordinated drainage solution;
- Could support eliminating the least desirable drainage plan options;
- Agreed that dumping directly into the creek is not a desirable option, nor is having individual
drainage basins throughout the development.
Council Member Fellows provided the following comments:
- Agreed with concerns expressed by Council Member Guthrie as it relates to the drainage plan;
- Stated it was to the benefit of future developers to have clear direction regarding drainage
solutions;
- Stated that sheet flow runoff to the creek should be eliminated from the list of drainage
strategies and options;
- Suggested that the drainage options be listed in order of desirability with sheet flow runoff to the
creek at the bottom of the list, and putting surface basins above that; or eliminate those two
options completely;
- Agreed that language should be added to the Neighborhood Plan that it is a concept plan;
- Supported the road acquisition process for dirt Cherry once the road improvements have been
completed;
- Supported a road width of 24 feet through Subarea 2;
- Appreciated work by the Natural Resources Conservation Service to develop the drainage
options; however, he thought leaving all the options was not a good idea;
- Supported the proposed amendments to the East Viilage Neighborhood Plan and would like to
approve the proposals tonight with clarifications concerning the drainage options.

Minutes: City Council/Redevelopment Agency Meeting Page 6
Tuesday, October 9, 2007
Mayor Pro Tem Arnold provided the following comments:
— Supported the Neighborhood Plan and acknowledged the amount of effort that has gone into
this with the neighborhood, staff, and advisory bodies;
— Requested modifying the list of available drainage options to eliminate direct drainage to the
creek and individual surface basins; or would support some form of a consolidated plan using
both of those options;
— Requested additional language that the layout in the Neighborhood Plan is purely conceptual.
Mayor Ferrara provided the following comments:
— Expressed concern about restricting and/or eliminating the two drainage options previously
discussed due to areas where there may be no other feasible option; however, he would
support listing those two as the lowest priority or last option if nothing else works;
— Stated there was some merit in having Public Works look at the drainage options to see what
can be proposed as a suggested course of action for certain lots;
— Stated that one of the higher priorities as far as drainage should be the degree to which
integration could occur with Subarea 1.
Discussion, comments, and clarification ensued concerning the various drainage strategies and
options as it relates to drainage improvements in Subarea 2.

East Grand Avenue. [RDA]
Chair Ferrara declared a conflict of interest due to ownership of real property near the project and
stepped down from the dais.
Executive Director Adams presented the staff report and recommended the Redevelopment Agency
Board: 1) Approve the Vacant Land Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions for a
portion of the vacant property at the southwest corner of Courtland Street and East Grand Avenue;
and 2) Appropriate $1,480,000 from the Redevelopment Agency Affordable Housing Set Aside
Fund for property acquisition plus escrow, appraisal, soils and environmental tests and closing
costs.
Vice Chair Arnold invited public comments from those in the audience who wished to be heard on
the matter.
Tim Brown, Allen Street, inquired how large the property was, whether it is proposed to be all rental
units, and how the City would maintain rental units in perpetuity. He further inquired whether
Proposition 1C funds could be used for this project.
Upon hearing no further public comments, Vice Chair Arnold closed the public comment period.
In response to public comments, Executive Director Adams explained that a portion of the property
is designated as office and a portion of the property is designated for affordable housing rental
units. He explained that the City was not utilizing Proposition 1C funds as there was sufficient

funding in the Redevelopment Agency Housing Set Aside Fund. Lastly, he explained that a
Disposition and Development Agreement would be drafted which would include restrictions, such as
deed restrictions on the units, to maintain the units as affordable housing units.
Board comments and discussion ensued including support for the proposal; acknowledgement that
public input would be sought when a specific project comes forward; optimism that the City can find
a partner for development of the property; and acknowledgement that the property has been
identified for affordable rental units in the approved Specific Plan.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE BRISCO ROAD
REHABILITATION PROJECT, PW 2007-02
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
A. accept the project improvements as constructed by Souza Construction Company,
Inc. in accordance with the plans and specifications for the Brisco Road
Rehabilitation Project; and
B. direct staff to file a Notice of Completion; and
C. authorize release of the retention of $27,957.11, thirty-five (35) days after the Notice
of Completion has been recorded, if no liens have been filed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The approved project budget is $297,966 (total construction costs = $239,508 base bid
+ $31,370 utility undergrounding + $27,088 contingency = $297,966). The final
adjusted project cost is $279,571 resulting in a savings of $18,395.
BACKGROUND:
On July 10, 2007 Council awarded a construction contract for the Brisco Road
Rehabilitation project to Souza Construction, Inc. for $270,878. The project scope of
work included repaving the roadway, installing ADA compliant curb ramps, providing
utility extensions to a future development project and restriping the roadway.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendations;
- Do not accept the project;
- Accept the project, but do not authorize release of retention; or
- Provide direction to staff.

CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT THE BRISCO ROAD REHABILITATION PROJECT,
PW 2007-02
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 2
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Work has been completed according to the contract documents. There are no
outstanding issues to address.
ADVANTAGES:
The project provides a smoother pavement surface for vehicles and resolves existing
drainage problems with the concrete cross gutter at EI Camino Real. The pavement
index for the roadway is greatly improved. Future maintenance will require only a slurry
seal membrane that can be applied at a substantially reduced cost. Accepting the
improvements allows staff to close the project and redesignate remaining funds to other
project needs.
DISADVANTAGES:
The disadvantage of accepting the improvements would be if subsequent deficiencies in
the work are identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303(d).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, November 8, 2007. The
Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 9, 2007. No

BY: EVAN LARSON, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF THE MASON / NELSON ADA RAMP REPLACEMENT PROJECT,
PW 2007-01
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. award a construction contract to California Coastal Development in the amount of
$18,986 for the construction of the Mason / Nelson ADA Ramp Replacement
Project, PW 2007-01; and
2. authorize the City Manager to approve change orders not to exceed the
contingency of $1,900 for use only if needed for testing and unanticipated costs
during the construction of the project. �
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
' The FY 2007/2008 Capital Improvement Program includes $33,300 for the total cost of
the project, which will be funded with $20,000 from the General Fund and $13,300 from
a Community Development Block Grant. The budgeted amount is for projected
construction expenditures. The estimated cost of the project is $20,886 for
construction.
BACKGROUND:
On October 12, 2007, three bids were opened for the Mason / Nelson ADA Ramp
Replacement Project. The lowest responsive bid, from California Coastal Development,
was in the amount of $18,986. This project includes four bid schedules to replace the
four ramps at the intersection of Mason St. / Nelson St. and removal of a portion of
concrete located in a parkway strip at the south east corner of the intersection. A
Community Development Block Grant was developed to assist with the cost of replacing
two of the ramps in this project and based on an analysis of ADA requirements within
the public right of way.

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE
MASON / NELSON ADA RAMP REPLACEMENT PROJECT, PW 2007-01
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE - 2 -
The contract time for this project is specified at 14 calendar days. Work is expected to
begin in mid November 2007 and be completed by early December 2007.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
. Award a contract to California Coastal Development for the entire contract for the
Mason / Nelson ADA Ramp Replacement Project (all four intersection corners);
• Award a contract for installing ADA ramps at three corners;
• Award a contract for installing ADA ramps at two corners;
. Award a contract for installing ADA ramps at one corner;
• Do not award the contract;
. Provide direction to staff
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The existing curb corners are not ADA compliant. The City has received requests from
members of the community for ADA ramps at this location, due largely to the need to
accommodate those with disabilities attending activities at the Village Green such as
Harvest Festival and Strawberry Festival. As a result, this location has been identified
as one of the City's highest priority ADA projects.
ADVANTAGES:
The project provides the following advantages:
1. The ramps will be upgraded to current ADA standards.
2. The ramps are frequented by City residents, especially during downtown
activities and festivals.
3. The City will also have the opportunity to create ADA access where it did not
exist.
4. The City will use grant money designated for the project.
DISADVANTAGES: �
There is no perceived disadvantage of awarding the entire contract, except that it will
utilize funds that could be dedicated to other projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The agenda was posted on Thursday, November 8, 2007. The agenda and staff
reports were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 9, 2007. No public
comments were received as of the time of preparation of this report.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE CAMINO MERCADO /
WEST BRANCH STREET TRAFFIC SIGNAL PROJECT, PW 2005-05
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDAT�ON:
It is recommended the City Council:
A. accept the project improvements as constructed by Lee Wilson Electric Company,
Inc. in accordance with the plans and specifications for the Camino Mercado / West
Branch Street Traffic Signal Project.
B. direct staff to file a Notice of Completion; and
C. authorize release of the retention of $36,257.73, thirty-five (35) days after the Notice
of Completion has been recorded, if no liens have been filed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The revised project budget is $389,910 (total construction costs = $313,369 base bid +
$45,204 miscellaneous project costs, $31,337 contingency = $389,910). The final
adjusted project cost is $331 ,303.90, resulting in a savings of $13,402.
BACKGROUND:
On January 10, 2006 Council awarded a construction contract for the Camino Mercado /
West Branch Street Traffic Signal Project to Lee Wilson Electric, Inc. for $313,369. The
project work included traffic signal installation, turn pocket installation for a dedicated
freeway onramp, utility relocations and miscellaneous construction work. The traffic
signal is installed and operational.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendations;
- Do not accept the project;
- Accept the project, but do not authorize release of retention; or

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT THE CAMINO MERCADO / WEST BRANCH STREET
TRAFFIC SIGNAL PROJECT, PW 2005-05
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 2
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Work has been compieted according to the contract documents. There are no
outstanding issues to address.
The project was initiated as a result of new deveiopments in and around the intersection
of Camino Mercado and West Branch Street. Traffic Studies indicated a need for a
signal to address a projected increase in the traffic volumes.
ADVANTAGES:
Traffic circulation through the intersection is enhanced and the construction was
completed in advance of several of the major developments. Accepting improvements
allows staff to close the project out and redesignate remaining funds to other project
needs.
DISADVANTAGES:
The new infrastructure will result in additional maintenance responsibilities. The City
will be responsible for future deficiencies that are identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On September 27, 2005 City Council found that the project is categorically exempt from
CEQA pursuant to Section 15303(d) and directed the Director of Administrative
Services to file a Notice of Exemption.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO CLOSE CITY STREETS FOR THE
5TH ANNUAL ARROYO GRANDE VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
CHRISTMAS PARADE, NOVEMBER 25, 2007
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1)adoptthe attached Resolution authorizing closure of City
streets for the 5�' Annual Arroyo Grande Village Improvement Association Christmas Parade;
and 2) approve the installation of a street banner on E. Branch Street promoting Village
Christmas activities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The recommended alternative of a "partial closure" can be staffed by on-duty police personnel
with no additional personnel.
The "full closure" alternative would require, in addition to on-duty personnel, two additional
police officers on overtime for two hours on at an estimated cost of $250.00. Mr. Eddie
EI-Helou, parade organizer, has indicated he would reimburse the City for these costs.
BACKGROUND:
The 5"'Annual Arroyo Grande Village Improvement Association Christmas Parade is scheduled
for Sunday, November 25, 2007 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. In the past, the parade has
proceeded east on E. Branch Street from Bank of America and turned south on Short Street,
terminating into Olohan Alley and disbanding behind City Hall.
The Community Development Director has approved a Temporary Use Permit#07-024 subject
to City Council authorization of the street closure.
This year the parade organizers are requesting a "full closure"allowing the parade to continue
past Short Street and City Hall to Mason Street, turning southbound on Mason Street, then
turning into Olohan Alley and disbanding behind City Hall. A banner is also proposed for
installation at the entrance to the Village promoting the Village Improvement Association's
Christmas activities.

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF CHRISTMAS PARADE STREET CLOSURE
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 2
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendation to seek Caltrans approval for a partial closure
as per past practice;
- Direct staff to seek Caltrans approval for a full closure similar to the Harvest
Festival;
- Consider the full closure alternative for next year's event when the Caltrans
relinquishment process is completed;
- Modify as appropriate and approve staff's recommendation; or
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
It has been the past practice forthe Christmas Parade event that the Police Department would
seek approval for a partial closure of E. Branch Street from Traffic Way to Mason Street to
facilitate the event. (not including Mason Street). This partial closure allows fordetours around
the Village event by utilizing Nelson Street and Mason Street.
Full closure of East Branch Street would require detours outside the core area similar to the
Harvest Festival Parade, but starting at Traffic Way. It is anticipated that this full closure will
have an adverse impact on traffic being sent around the Village and will require significant
signage and staffing for a limited time event.
Normal practice would require Architectural Review Committee review ofthe proposed banner.
However, given the timing of the proposal, it is recommended that it be approved by City
Council in order to enable installation prior to the scheduled activities.
ADVANTAGES:
The advantage of the recommended alternative is that it follows a proven partial closure plan
and reduces the detour distance around the short parade event and the inconvenience to the
motoring public and residences in the surrounding area.
The advantage of the full closure alternative is that it extends the parade route approximately
one half block past City Hall. This alternative may be more advantageous to consider for next
year's event when the Caltrans relinquishment process is complete. This would provide staff
more time and flexibility to address potential concerns.
U �" O�
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF CHRISTMAS PARADE STREET CLOSURE
NOVEMBER 13, 2007

DISADVANTAGES:
The disadvantage of the recommended alternative of a partial closure is a slightly reduced
parade route.
The disadvantage of the full closure alternative is that it increases the detour distance around
the parade event and the inconvenience to the motoring public and residences in the
surrounding area. Additionally, the full closure requires significantly more signage and staff
time to implement bringing into question a cost / benefit line of reasoning due to the short
nature of the parade event.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
�
FROM: STEVEN N. ANNIBALI, CHIEF OF POLIC
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF DONATION OF SURPLUS BICYCLES
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a resolution declaring surplus property to be
donated to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriffs Department to refurbish bicycles for
needy children.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are no costs to the City associated with this proposal. In that it has been the City
Council's past policy to donate the bicycles to the Sheriffs Office, the City does not budget
any revenues to be derived from a bicycle auction.
BACKGROUND:
As has been done in past years, the Police Department is requesting that all unclaimed
bicycles that have been in the Department's custody in excess of 90 days be declared
surplus. These bicycles have been turned in over the past year as found or were reported
stolen and recovered by the Police Department. Attempts to locate owners and/or return
the bicycles to their owners have been made, but the bicycles remain unclaimed. Due to
limited storage space for bicycles, it is necessary to dispose of those bicycles held in
excess of 90 days.
Upon being declared surplus, the bicycles will be donated to the Sheriff's Department.
There the bicycles will be renovated by prisoners at the County Sheriffs Honor Farm and
subsequently donated to needy children during the Holiday Season. In past years, some
of these donated bicycles have been returned to the Police Department to be given as gifts
to needy children during the "Santa Cop" Program.

ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staffs recommendation to utilize the Sheriff' Department Bicycle
Refurbishment Program;
- Direct staff to pursue auctioning the bicycles to obtain addition City revenue;
- Direct staff to develop an alternative bicycle disposal program;
- Modify as appropriate and approve staffs recommendation; or
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The Sheriff's DepartmenYs Bicycle Refurbishment Program currently renovates surplus bicycles
by utilizing prisoners at the County Sheriffs Honor Farm. The refurbished bicycles are
subsequently donated to needy children during the Holiday Season. There is a need to ensure
that surplus bicycles are properly refurbished and made safe for distribution to the public.
Currently, the City of Arroyo Grande does not have the staff time and equipment to properly

refurbish the bicycles. The bicycles could alternatively be sold "as is" at the City auction.
However, their value would be limited and the donation program to needy children would be
adversely impacted if the City did not participate.
ADVANTAGES:
The advantage of the recommended alternative is that the disposal of surplus bicycles frees
storage space and provides bicycles for needy children through the Sheriff's DepartmenYs
Bicycle Refurbishment Program. Additionally, City staff are relieved of the obligation to ensure
the bicycles are in safe working order and do not have to manage the auction of bicycles in
varying degrees of disrepair.
DISADVANTAGES:
Use of the Sheriffs DepartmenYs refurbishment program reduces the possibility of any City
generated revenue gained by selling the un-refurbished bicycles at the City auction.
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, November 8, 2007. The Agenda and
report were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 9, 2007. No public comments
were received.

c9��FORN�P MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DOUG PERRI� DIRECTOR OF PARKS, RECREATION AND
FACILITIES �
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING WITH THE LUCIA MAR SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR
THE BRIGHT FUTURES PROGRAM
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council 1) approve a Memorandum of Understanding
("MOU") (Attachment 1) with the Lucia Mar Unified School District ("LMUSD") for the
Bright Futures After School Program ("Bright Futures"); 2) authorize the City Manager to
sign the MOU; and 3) authorize the City Manager to approve minor changes to the
MOU determined beneficial to the program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
General Fund revenues have been allocated in the FY 2007-08/FY 2008-09 Bi-annual
Budget for the Children In Motion program (CIM). The CIM program will not collect
participant fees from Margaret Harloe Bright Futures participants. LMUSD will
reimburse the City of Arroyo Grande's expenditures, not to exceed $67,412.50 for on
site staff time, one (1) hour per day administrative time for the Recreation Coordinator,
training, cell phones, supplies and fingerprinting associated with the Bright Futures
Program at Margaret Harloe School. The CIM program for before school care, teacher
in service training days and some holidays will collect fees of approximately $19,000.
Total projected 2007-08 school year revenue for the Harloe School CIM program is $86,
400. FY 2006-07 school year revenue at Harloe School was $88,000. Since the Parks,
Recreation and Facilities Division was not notified until late summer that Harloe School
would be a funded for the Bright Futures program the $1,600 reduction in revenue was
not anticipated nor reflected in the FY 2007-08/FY 2008-09 Bi-annual Budget.
BACKGROUND:
LMUSD believed it would receive State funding beginning in January 2007 for after
schools enrichment programs at all of its elementary and middle schools. City
Recreation Division staff were requested to provide enrichment programs at Branch,
Ocean View and Harloe Elementary Schools, but State and Federal funding was
denied. In the summer of 2007, LMUSD was notified it qualified for five (5) years of 21 st
Century funding for an after school enrichment program at Margaret Harloe Elementary
School. The 215t Century Program is federally funded, but administered by the State of
California. Enrichment programs include classes, tutoring, homework support and

snacks. LMUSD named its program "Bright Futures After School Program" ("Bright
Futures") and once again requested the City of Arroyo Grande provide the enrichment
programs at Margaret Harloe Elementary School. No fees are charged to Bright Futures
participants.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve the MOU with Lucia Mar Unified School District, authorize the
City Manager to sign the MOU and authorize the City Manager to approve
minor changes to the MOU determined beneficial to the program.
- Make modifications and approve the MOU;
- Do not approve the MOU, which would cause the City of Arroyo Grande's
Children In Motion Program to stop operations at Margaret Harloe
Elementary School;
- Provide Direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Bright Futures is strictly an after school program. The CIM program will continue to
provide standard care before school, on teacher in service training days and for some
other non-school days, such as the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It should be noted
that Ocean View and Branch Elementary Schools did not qualify for 215� Century
funding and the CIM program continues to provide normal before and after school
childcare services at those sites.
School Districts with 21St Century funding are required to partner with other agencies to
provide programs. Since the City of Arroyo Grande's Children In Motion program has
been providing before and after school childcare at Harloe School for the past eighteen
(18) years, LMUSD asked the City to partner at that site. The San Luis Obispo County
YMCA and the United South County Boys and Girls Club partner with LMUSD to
provide Bright Futures programs at other qualified school sites.
After the 2007-2008 school year began the Lucia Mar School District presented staff
with a draft MOU, which if approved will be effective August 27, 2007 through June 13,
2008. If the Council approves the MOU it will then be submitted to the LMUSD School
Board for its consideration. The MOU will need to be renegotiated and renewed
annually.
ADVANTAGES:
The City has been providing high quality before and after school child care at Margaret
Harloe Elementary School for over eighteen (18) years. During the 2007-08 school year,
the CIM program will generate an estimated $86,400 at that site. City Council approval
�h -a
CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 3
of the MOU would allow the CIM to continue providing after school programs for the
students at Margaret Harloe Elementary School. If the City does not provide services for
the Bright Futures Program, the school site will probably not be available to the
Recreation Division for winter, spring and summer programs. The after school program
is also important to the City's recreation program-because it provides an opportunity to
engage the participating children and families in other activities.
DISADVANTAGES:
Since the Bright Futures program reimburses the City only for actual costs incurred
there will be a minor reduction in revenue. The maximum the City can be reimbursed
for staff, cell phones, supplies and fingerprinting is $67, 412.50.

BY: MICHAEL GALVIN, PUBLIC WORKS INTERN
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE SEWER SYSTEM INCIDENT _
REPORT FORM AND PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. approve and implement the use of the new Sanitary Sewer System Report Form;
2. approve and record the locations of new bolt-down manholes;
3. approve installation of a new sewer manhole behind 410 East Branch Street; and
4. appropriate $11,000 from the Sewer Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approving the locations for the new lock-down manholes will have an estimated cost
impact of $1,000 on the current fiscal year operating budget. This will be a joint project
with the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District (SSLOCSD). The expected
cost of the installation of the new sewer manhole behind 410 East Branch Street is
$10,000. These funds need to be appropriated from the Sewer Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On June 27, 2007, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a Civil
Liability Complaint to the City of Arroyo Grande in response to a sewage spill that
occurred in Arroyo Grande Creek on March 14-15, 2007. At the August 28, 2007
Council meeting, Council Member Feilows requested that the revised sewer spill
complaint form be prepared for review and a cost estimate for installation of a new
manhole at the site of the above mentioned sewage spill be submitted for approval. At
a prior meeting, Mayor Ferrara had also requested staff research the potential for bolt-
down manhole covers in response to blockages that have been experienced due to
debris discarded in the sewer system.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve the new Sanitary Sewer System Report form, approve the locations
identified for installation of lock-down manhole lids, approve the installation of a new
manhole at the spill locations, and appropriate necessary funding;

- Do not approve the staff recommended actions;
- Approve some of the staff recommended action;
- Request alternate locations and/or changes to the proposed form;
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
One of the problems leading to the March 2007 sewage spill was inaccurate information
received from the complaint regarding the nature and location of the incident. However,
the complainant also did not provide contact information, which precluded staff from
necessary follow-up to verify the reported information. As a result, the purpose of the
new form is to gather information that will lead to a better understanding of a sewer
system problem following an initial report filed by a resident. The new form aliows any
member of staff to walk any resident through the brief series of questions.
Lock-down manhole covers are to be installed as part of the effort to prevent
unauthorized access to the manholes and any issues that could occur as a result of
such access. The locations that have been identified for lock-down manhole covers are
those locations that could potentially be accessed by individuals as sites for illegal
dumping. These sites are hidden from plain sight in alleyways or behind commercial
properties. The manhole covers would be sealable using a locking bolt possessed by
the Public Works Department. The use of lock-down manhole covers could be viewed
as a test program, where success may result in wider use in the future.
Installation of the new sewer manhole is to occur based on the recommendations of the
Regional Water Quality Control Board. There is an existing manhole on the City's
sewer line, approximately 10 feet from the connection to the South San Luis Obispo
County Sanitation DistricYs trunk line. By installing a manhole at the connection of
these two pipes, the maintenance staff will be able to clean the entire length of the
City's pipeline.
ADVANTAGES:
The recommended actions are intended to minimize the chance of future sewer related
spills and subsequently avoid additional complaints by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board, as well as to better prevent any environmental damage to the City's
creek system. By taking the recommended actions, the City will satisfy requests for
action as suggested by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The lock-down
manhole covers will also help maintain maximum capacity in the City's sewer lines by
avoiding illegal dumping of debris.
DISADVANTAGES:
Disadvantages identified include the difficulty in installing the new manhole cover,
uncertainty whether the covers will prove difficult for maintenance staff to remove, and

whether it will be difficult to match the bolt threads that would be used when reinstalling
the manhole cover after it has been removed from maintenance.

' c4��FORN�P
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER �
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF EXTENSION OF AGREEMENTS WITH
GRANDE MOBILE MANOR AND HALCYON ESTATES FOR
TEMPORARY WATER SERVICE
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council approve an amendment to the existing Agreements
with Grande Mobile Manor and Halcyon Estates extending temporary water service
for an additional 12-month period.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City receives approximately $23,000 in annual Water Fund revenue from water
service to the mobile home parks, which includes an additional fee charged for
service to users outside the City.
BACKGROUND:
On October 28, 2003, the City entered into Agreements with Grande Mobile Manor
and Halcyon Estates (at that time known as Double J Park) to provide temporary
water service. Their wells had been deteriorating and infiltrated with high levels of
nitrates. As a result they were no longer suitable as a source for domestic water to
the mobile homes. Both mobile home parks are in the County unincorporated area,
but within the City of Arroyo Grande's sphere of influence.
The Agreements were established for a five-year period in order to provide time for
the mobile home park owners to make other arrangements for a permanent supply.
In addition, City staff recommended the Agreements be extended indefinitely if the
City could obtain credit through the Water Management Agreement for the Arroyo
Grande well water no longer being utilized by the mobile home parks. Essentially,
the City water would replace their prior well water use, which would have no impact
on the safe yield since the water sources are all drawn from the same basin.
City staff entered discussions with representatives from other jurisdictions
participating in the Water Management Agreement and had reason to believe the
proposal would be acceptable. As a result, the mobile home park owners made little
gJ - �

NOVEMBER 13, 2007
� PAGE 2
progress on other alternatives. However, a formal agreement drafted by City staff
, that would provide the City credit in its water allocation for the mobile home park
water has been rejected by two of the three jurisdictions.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
• Approve the proposed amendment to the Agreements;
• Modify the terms of the amendment to provide for a shorter or longer extension;
• Approve the proposed extensions, but communicate to mobile home park
owners to seek alternatives other than City of Arroyo Grande service for future
water;
• Do not approve the Agreement extensions;
• Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City is not legally obligated to provide water service beyond the term of the
existing Agreements. However, staff believes it is appropriate because the mobile
home park owners have not had sufficient time to make alternate arrangements since
it was determined the City would not be successful in obtaining credit in its water
allocation for the mobile home park wells. The following options exist to address the
mobile home park's water needs in the future if the extension is approved:
. The mobile home park owners may upgrade the existing wells. Based on staffs
discussions, they are willing to make the necessary improvements, but prefer
other options due to the level of monitoring required and potential liability
created by recent State regulations adopted involving water quality.
• The City can request the otherjurisdictions to reconsider providing credit within
the City's allocation for the well water use discontinued by the mobile home
parks. The Mayor has suggested a joint meeting be held with the elected
representatives of the other jurisdictions to review a variety of water related
issues. City staff is working with staff from the other agencies to schedule the
meeting and this issue could be included on the agenda.
• The mobile home park owners may request consideration of annexation if they
are able to reach agreements with the tenants regarding loss of rent control that
would occur if annexed to the City. However, the City's existing policy requires
annexed property to provide an adequate water supply. As a result, the only
way to meet this requirement would be to still obtain credit within the City's
water allocation for the existing mobile home park wells.
. The City Council could take action to provide water service on an ongoing basis
without obtaining credit since the parks utilize a relatively small amount. It is
estimated that the City provides approximately nine acre feet per year.
• The mobile home parks may request to be transferred from the City of Arroyo
Grande to the Oceano Community Services District (OCSD) sphere of influence

CITY COUNCIL

and then request water service from OCSD. Based on their policies, OCSD
would likely not be opposed to providing the mobile home parks with water
service if they were in the District. Staff held a meeting with the mobile home
� park owners and the OCSD General Manager to discuss potential solutions
• The mobile home parks may request OCSD to provide water service and the
City of Arroyo Grande to wheel the water through its existing distribution system.
Based on their existing policies, it would be unlikely that this would be approved.
However, there is an approved development adjacent to the mobile home parks
that will involve the installation of infrastructure that would make it much more
economical for the mobile home parks to connect to the OCSD system. As a
result, it may be possible to request a temporary water wheeling agreement until
the development is constructed.
ADVANTAGES:
Since the mobile home parks are in the City's sphere of influence, staff believes it is
in the City's best interest to assist them in properly addressing their water service
needs and ensuring they have an adequate future water supply. Extension of the
Agreements will enable time to address alternatives and the amount of water
provided is not yet needed by the City. Under any of the alternatives, staff believes
12 months is the minimum amount of time that will be required to make necessary
arrangements. The advantage of future annexation would be the ability to require
improvements to the intersection that could improve the appearance and safety of the
City entrance on Halcyon Road. Service from OCSD is likely the most readily
feasible alternative at this time, but it would require an expensive investment that
could better be applied to the intersection improvements.
DISADVANTAGES:
Staff does not believe there are disadvantages to approving the temporary extension.
However, there would be disadvantages to approve the option of providing ongoing
water service without receiving credit in the City's groundwater allocation. While it is
only a small amount, it has been the City's practice to address water needs of City
residents before those of residents outside the City. Since projections indicate the
City will require additional water resources to meet long-term needs, every amount is
important to addressing the potential projected gap.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.

The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, November 8, 2007. The
Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 9, 2007.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER '
BY: KAREN SISKO, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER u�
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING FY 2007/O8
THROUGH FY 2008/09 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH
THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS LOCAL
4403
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the FY 2007/08
through FY 2008/09 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International
Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 4403 (Exhibit A).
FUNDING:
Costs are projected to be an increase of approximately $26,000 for FY 2007-08 and
$70,000 for FY 2008-09. Funds will be appropriated in the General Fund in the First
Quarter Budget Report. Staff is developing recommendations to address current
budget constraints in the First Quarter Budget Report and believe the increase can be
feasibly funded.
BACKGROUND:
The existing MOU between the City and IAFF, Local 4403, which represents the City's
full-time Fire Captains and Fire Engineers, expired on June 30, 2007. As a result,
negotiation of a new MOU has been under way for the past several months. The City
and IAFF Local 4403 negotiators have come to a tentative agreement on a proposed
contract within the parameters authorized by the City Council. The contract will cover a
two-year period commencing July 1, 2007 and ending on June 30, 2009.
This contract involves salary and benefit issues. The MOU was ratified by the IAFF
Local 4403 membership on November 2, 2007.

' MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH IAFF, LOCAL 4403
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 2
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve the Memorandum of Understanding as presented;
- Reject the Memorandum of Understanding and direct City negotiators to reopen
negotiations with IAFF Local 4403; or
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City's current salary and classification system was structured based on a
compensation and classification study completed by Ralph Andersen & Associates in
September 1997. As noted in the study, the goals of the City's compensation plan are
to:
. Ensure that the City has the ability to attract and retain well-qualified personnel
for all job classes;
. Ensure that the City's compensation practices are competitive with those of
comparable employers;
. Provide defensibility to City salary ranges based on the pay practices of similar
employers; and
. Ensure pay consistency and equity among related classes based on the duties
and responsibilities assumed.
The primary issues addressed in the MOU include the following:
Salarv Adiustments
Under the Agreement, full-time paid Fire personnel will receive the following salary
adjustments:
June 29, 2007 4%
December 28, 2007 2%
June 27, 2008 4%
December 26, 2008 2%
Uniform Allowance
The annual uniform allowance will increase from $800 to $900.
Retiree Medical Insurance
The City participates in the CaIPERS Health Benefit Program, currently under the
unequal contribution option. The City's contribution towards retirees started at one
dollar ($1.00) per year in 2000. The contribution would increase 5% per year of the

i CITY COUNCIL
' MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH IAFF, LOCAL 4403
i NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 3
City's contribution for active employees until such time that the contributions for retirees
and active employees are equal, providing that the City is participating in the CaIPERS
Health Plan.
The proposed MOU modifies this plan to provide an equal contribution option. The
contribution will be the minimum required by CaIPERS, which will be ninety-seven
dollars ($97.00) per month in 2008. Existing employees with a minimum of five years of
full-time service at the time of retirement and new employees with a minimum of ten
years of service will receive a supplemental monthly payment making the total monthly
payment as follows:
For single annuitant coverage: $161.11
For annuitant + 1 dependent: $295.09
For annuitant + 2 or more dependents: $354.42
The minimum amount required by CaIPERS will be increased annually by a cost of
living adjustment. However, the total amount provided to those eligible for the
supplemental payment will not increase.
ADVANTAGES:
Staff believes the proposed MOU will provide significant benefits to the City by 1)
providing competitive salaries and benefits, enabling the City to continue to recruit and
maintain a quality workforce; 2) implementing important changes to better control future
retiree medical benefit costs; and 3) maintaining positive employee relations with the
City's public safety staff.
DISADVANTAGES:
The only disadvantage of the MOU identified is that it will result in a cost increase,
which will need to be accommodated with an additional appropriation despite existing
budget constraints.

MEMORANDUM
,
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER (��
BY: KAREN SISKO, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER Y�
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATtON OF RESOLUTIONS ESTABLISHING THE CITY'S
CONTRIBUTION TOWARD HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) adopt a resolution establishing the City's
contribution towards health care coverage for members of the Arroyo Grande Police
O�cers' Association; 2) adopt a resolution establishing the City's contribution toward
health care coverage for members of the International Association of Fire Fighters
(IAFF) Local 4403; 3) adopt a resolution establishing the City's contribution toward
health care coverage for members of the Service Employees International Union
(SEIU), Local 620; 4) adopt a resolution establishing the City's contribution toward
health care coverage for members of the Management group; and 5) adopt a resolution
establishing the City's contribution toward health care coverage for the Elected Officials'
group.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
New rates will result in estimated annual increase of approximately $87,000. Funds are
included in the FY 2007-08/FY 2008-09 Bi-Annual Budget.
BACKGROUND:
The City provides health insurance benefits for its full-time employees through
CaIPERS. Participating agencies are required to adopt resolutions each year
establishing the contribution amounts made by the City.
The increase in HMO premiums for 2008 average 7.39%. In an effort to share the
increasing costs for health care with those that benefit from health insurance coverage,
cost sharing provisions were incorporated into the Memorandums of Understanding
(MOU) with the Arroyo Grande Police Officers' Association, the International
Association of Fire Fighters Local 4403, the Service Employees International Union,
g ( -1
CITY COUNCIL
CALPERS HEALTHCARE COVERAGE CONTRIBUTION RATE RESOLUTIONS
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 2
Local 620, the unrepresented Management group, and the Elected Officials group.
Each group has agreed to pay a certain percentage of the increase in premium costs.
In order to implement these cost-sharing agreements with CaIPERS, separate
resolutions for each employee group or association must be adopted. These
resolutions are attached for City Council consideration.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendation by adopting the resolutions;
- Direct staff to negotiate other amendments;
- Direct staff to pursue other medical coverage options;
- Do not approve staff's recommendation;
- Modify as appropriate and approve staffs recommendation; or
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The recommended resolutions include changes this year for Management and IAFF,
Local 4403 in order to accommodate adjustments to retiree medical benefits. The City
currently participates in the CaIPERS medical insurance program under the unequal
contribution option. The City's contribution for retirees started at one dollar ($1.00) per
year in 2000. The contribution would increase 5% per year of the City's contribution for
active employees until such time that the contributions for retirees and active employees
are equal, providing that the City is participating in the CaIPERS Health Plan.
Under the proposed changes for Management and IAFF Local 4403, the contribution
will be the minimum required by CaIPERS, which will be ninety-seven dollars ($97.00)
per month in 2008. Existing employees with a minimum of five years of full-time service
at the time of retirement and new employees with a minimum of ten years of service will
receive a supplemental monthly payment making the total monthly payment as follows:
Fire Manaqement
For single annuitant coverage: $161.11 $175.10
For annuitant + 1 dependent: $295.09 $302.85
For annuitant + 2 or more dependents: $354.42 $376.79
The minimum amount required by CaIPERS will be increased annually by a cost of
living adjustment. However, the total amount provided to those eligible for the
supplemental payment will not increase.
It is necessary for the City Council to approve the resolutions at this time in order to
meet CaIPERS deadline to make the cafeteria plan effective January 1, 2008. It is
staff's intent to implement similar provisions with the other employee groups in the
future.

ADVANTAGES:
Based on staff's analysis, CaIPERS provides the most cost effective option to the City
for the provision of employee health care benefits. Approval of the resolutions
establishing the cafeteria plan for Management and IAFF, Local 4403 employees
represents an important first step in implementing changes to manage future retiree
medical benefit costs. Absent these changes, projected escalation of future retiree
medical benefits would have a seriously detrimental impact on the Citys ability to fund
its services to the community.
DISADVANTAGES:
The only disadvantage identified is the increased cost impact from the rate increases,
although it is unavoidable since available alternatives would result in a greater cost
increase.
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, November 8, 2007. The
Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 9, 2007. No
public comments were received.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A FULL FLEX
CAFETERIA PLAN SECTION 125 FOR THE MANAGEMENT GROUP
AND INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS, LOCAL
4403
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a resolution establishing a Full Flex Cafeteria
Section 125 Plan ("Cafeteria Plan") for the Management group and the International
Association of Fire Fighters, LOCAL 4403.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no additional financial impact to implement the Cafeteria Plan as it is
administered in-house. There is no increase in the health benefit costs to the City under
the Cafeteria Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In order for the City to implement the equal contribution plan under the CaIPERS Health
Benefit Program that will affect retiree medical insurance, the City needs to provide a
Cafeteria Plan to its employees. Under a Cafeteria Plan, employees are given flex
dollars to spend on their benefits, which include medical, dental, and vision insurance.
An employee may opt out of inedical coverage only if they can provide proof of other
coverage. The employee would then be able to take a specified amount of their flex
dollars back as cash, deposit it into their 457 plan, or purchase voluntary benefits.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendation by adopting the resolution;
- Direct staff to pursue other medical coverage options;
- Do not approve staff's recommendations;
- Modify as appropriate and approve staffs recommendation; or
- Provide direction to staff.

; CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A FULL FLEX CAFETERIA PLAN
SECTION 125 FOR THE MANAGEMENT GROUP AND INTERNATIOANL
ASSOCIATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
I NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 2
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Under the CaIPERS Health Benefit Program equal contribution plan, the City is required
to provide the same benefit to active employees as retired employees. The amount
designated is the minimum amount required by CaIPERS. In 2008, the minimum is
$97.00. This amount is then increased annually by a cost of living adjustment. Under
the Cafeteria Plan, the City then designates this minimum amount as the medical
contribution towards active employees. Under the equal contribution plan, this same
amount is then designated as the retiree medical contribution. However, the total flex
dollars provided is equal to the amount for all medical benefits that would be provided
under the current system. As a result, there is no financial impact on existing
employees.
ADVANTAGES:
By establishing a Cafeteria Plan in conjunction with the CaIPERS Health Benefit
Program equal contribution plan for employee groups, future retiree medical costs can
be better managed. If these plans are not put into place, retiree medical costs will
continue to grow at a rate of 5°/a of the active employee contribution each year until the
retiree contributions are equal to the active employees' contributions. Absent these
changes, projected escalation of future retiree medical benefits would have a serious
detrimental impact on the City's ability to fund its services to the community.
DISADVANTAGES:
The only disadvantage to implementing a cafeteria plan is the staff time to administer
the plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.

Participant must submit an Election Form within thirty (30) days of the change in

ParticipanYs child, a Participant may change his or her election (1) to provide
coverage for the child under a health plan identified in Appendix A, if the order
so requires, or (2) to cancel coverage under a health plan identified in Appendix
A, for the ParticipanYs child if such order requires the Participant's former
spouse to provide coverage.
(E) In the case of coverage under a health plan identified in Appendix A, a
Participant may revoke an Election Form for the balance of the Period of
Coverage and file a new Election Form in writing to effectively cancel such
health plan coverage for the Participant and/or the ParticipanYs spouse or
dependent to the extent that such individual become entitled to coverage under
Part A or Part B of Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (Medicare) or Title XIX

distribution of pediatric vaccines). In addition, if an employee, spouse or
dependent who has been entitled to such coverage under Medicare, Medicaid,

not revoke his election if he becomes eligible for SCHIP coverage during the
year.

provided by an independent third-party provider, if:
1. The ParticipanYs share of the cost of such coverage significantly

decrease by the independent third-party provider, the Administrator may
permit all Participants electing such coverage for the Period of Coverage,
to revoke their elections for the balance of the Period of Coverage, and
to complete a new Election Form, provided that similar coverage is
elected under a health plan identified in Appendix A.1., for the balance of
the Period of Coverage. In the event that similar coverage is not
available to the Participant, the Participant may revoke his election for
the remainder of the Plan Year.

permit all Participants electing such coverage for the Period of Coverage,
to revoke their elections for the balance of the Period of Coverage, and
to complete a new Election Form,. provided that similar coverage is
elected under a health plan identified in Appendix A.1., for the balance of
the Period of Coverage. In the event that similar coverage is not
available to the Participant, the Participant may revoke his election for
the remainder of the Plan Year.
(G) Any revocation and new election under this Section 4.6 shall be effective at
such time as the Administrator shall prescribe, but not ea�lier than the first pay

the Plan for any Participant shall be the total cost to the Participant for the Period of

FLEX DOLLARS AND ADDITIONAL CASH BENEFITS
5.1 Flex Dollars: A Participant will be eligible to receive Flex Dollars if, andlto the extent
that, the City has elected to provide Flex Dollars under the Plan (as set forth in
Appendix B and subject to the limitations set forth in Appendix A). Prior to the
commencement of each Period of Coverage the City shall determine the amount of
Flex Dollars available to each such Participant in accordance with the rules and
procedures adopted by the City and by the Plan Administrator, which shall not
discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees. The Administrator shall
notify such Participant in writing of the amount of Flex Dollars available to him or her
for the Period of Coverage (or for the balance of the Period of Coverage).
5.2 Allocation of Flex Dollars: Any Flex Dollars available to a Participant under this Article
V shali be applied proportionately each pay period toward the cost of the Optional
Benefit Coverages elected by the Participant. If for any Period of Coverage the cost of
the Optional Benefit Coverages elected by the participant exceeds the ParticipanYs
Flex Dollars, then the ParticipanYs compensation shall be reduced proportionately
each pay period in the amount of the excess, and an amount equal to the
compensation reduction shall be contributed by the Employer to cover the remaining
cost of the Optional Benefit Coverages elected by the Participant. However, if for any
Period of Coverage the cost of the Optional Benefit Coverages elected by the
Participant is less than the ParticipanYs Flex Dollars, then the Participant shall receive
the value of any Flex Dollars not allocated to Optional Benefit Coverage and divert
them to the plans described on Appendix A.
5.3 Waiver of Coveraqe Cash Option: A Participant who has elected to waive coverage
as described in Section 4.4.(A) or who has affirmatively elected to waive medical
coverage under the City's medical plan identified in Appendix A shall be deemed to
have elected the Waiver of Coverage Cash Option. Under this Option the Employer
will increase such Participant's cash compensation as a taxable refund of
contributions, for each pay period during which the Participant does not have in effect
any medical coverage or has elected any Optional Benefit Coverage. Determination of
the waiver amount available to Participants, and the manner in which it is paid, shall
be made in accordance with the rules and procedure adopted by the Employer and by
the Administrator, which shall not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated
Employees. The Administrator shall notify such Participant in w�iting of the waiver
amount available to him or her for the Period of Coverage (or for the balance of the
Period of Coverage) under this Option. An eligible Participant may elect the Waiver of
Coverage Cash Option in writing in such form and manner as the Administrator shall
prescribe, at the same time or times that the Participant is permitted to elect Optional
Benefit Coverages under Article IV. Such election shall be irrevocable during each
Period of Coverage to the same extent as an election of Optional Benefit Coverages
identified in Appendix A.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROB STRONG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BY: TERESA MCCLISH, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH RINCON
CONSULTANTS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ADDENDUM NO. 2 TO
THE PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED REVISED FINAL SUBSEQUENT
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SEIR) FOR VTTM/PUD 01-001
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: Approve the contract amendment with Rincon
Consultants for the SEIR Addendum No. 2 to the SEIR for VTTM/PUD 01-001.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as all costs for the environmental review are borne by the
applicant.
BACKGROUND:
On April 10, 2007 the City Council considered a pre-application for VTTM/PUD 01-001
(commonly known as tract 1998) and approved a contract amendment for the
preparation of Addendum No. 2 for the previously approved SEIR. On September 21,
2007 the applicant submitted project revisions based on City Council comments during
the pre-application hearing. However, since that time the Standard Fee Schedule for
Rincon Consultants was modified and the cost for the preparation of Addendum No. 2
changed from $14,690 to $19,730. There are no other revisions to the proposed
contract amendment.
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, a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared by Rincon
Consultants for VTTM/PUD 01-001. A draft SEIR was circulated in February 2003 and
then amended and re-circulated in November 2003 to evaluate a modified project
design submitted by the applicant and for clarification of the biological resources
analysis. The City Council certified the Revised Final SEIR (RFSEIR) on April 13,
2004. By mutual agreement, the project decision was delayed to allow consideration of
an alternative. An Addendum to the RFSEIR was prepared in February 2005 to
evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with the revised project design
(Attachment 5). The project was subsequently denied without prejudice and the

applicant submitted a revised project within one-year. The revised project was reviewed
by City Council during a pre-application on April 10, 2007.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve the amendment to the contract;
- Do not approve the amendment to the contract; or
- Provide staff direction.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
A revised project description based on the City Council's comments during the pre-
application hearing on April 10, 2007 was submitted on September 21, 2007 and
evaluated in order to determine what documentation is needed to disclose the possible
environmental effects associated with project revisions. The City's consultant (Rincon
Consultants) has evaluated the project revisions in accordance with CEQA Guidelines.
As a result, Rincon Consultants determined that an addendum to the RFSEIR is the
most appropriate environmental document in this instance because the new information
does not involve new significant environmental effects beyond those identified in the
RFSEIR per Section 15164. The revised project reduces density and reconfigures
development in order to reduce or avoid previously identified environmental impacts and
no new significant impacts have yet been identified. If authorized, the Addendum will
evaluate and compare the potential specific and cumulative impacts from the revised
project. Although not required, staff will circulate the 2007 Addendum due to prior
substantial public involvement in this project. The City Council must consider an
Addendum prior to making a decision on the project.
ADVANTAGES:
Preparation of an Addendum by the City's consultant will allow for disclosure of potential
impacts due to project revisions.
DISADVANTAGES:
Denial of the proposed contract amendment would require staff to prepare an RFP for
the preparation of an Addendum from another consultant to satisfy CEQA requirements.
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, November 8, 2007. The
Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 9, 2007. No
public comments were received.

Subject: Scope to Prepare aa EIR Addendurn for Rtvised'Vesting Tcntative Tract
Map and P.U.D.41-001
Dear Ms.McGlish:
In response to your requesc,we are pleased to submii a scope of work and cost to prepaze an
EIR Addendum for the applicant's revised map for the VTTM and.P.U.D:01-001 project.
This would be called ehe Second Addevzdum to the Revrsed Final Subseqxent EIR;the EIR itself
was originally certified in Apri120Q4,and an Addendum ha$previously been prepared to
address an additional alternative to the originally proposed project.
Background. The City Council certif`ied the Revised Fittal'Subseguent EIR for the
VTTM 01-001 projec[in Apri12004, but didnot take action on the project at that time. At
the City's request,Rincon prepazed an EIR Addendum in January 2005 to address a revised
project alternative. The City Couacil ultimately denied che project without prejudice,which
allowed tihe applicant co reconsider a revised•subtnittal. The currently proposed EIR
Addendum would tiez off she originally certified EIR for the project,.and would address a
revised site plan for the project area. Our preSumption at this cime is thac she revised'site plan
would norintroduceaew impacts or mitigation measures xhac were not already concemplated
in previous environmental documentation„consistenx wiih,che approach used for the previous
Addendumprepared for[his projecc.
§cope of Work. Because of che newly submitted project's gerierally reduced size and
area of development,it has been detercnined by the City that an Adtlendum would be
appropriate,pursuanc to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. An Addendum is noc circula[ed'or
noticed,except as part of a normal agenda noticing process,but instead attached ro the staff
repon and put into the record of decision. However,if desired by the City,Rincon u
prepared to respond to public.comments that may azise fxom the publication of the
Addendum. We have included 3G$ours o6professional staff time for:this task in our budget.

FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER y�
�/
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS FOR MANAGEMENT
EMPLOYEES
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving benefit
adjustments for management employees.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Since the recommendations will freeze retiree medical benefit rates effective January 1,
2008 for the majority of potential retirees, there will likely be little financial impact
initially. However, it will substantially enable the City to better control retiree medical
cost increases in the future. If the proposed changes can be implemented for all
employee groups, the total estimated cost to pre-fund the benefit on an ongoing basis
would be approximately $250,000. Without these changes, the projected costs will be
approximately $750,000 annually.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently participates in the CaIPERS medical insurance program under the
unequal contribution option. The City's contribution towards retirees started at one
dollar ($1.00) per year in 2000. The contribution would increase 5% per year of the
City's contribution for active employees until such time that the contributions for retirees
and active employees are equal, nearly the full cost of health insurance.
The City recently contracted for an actuarial study of these benefits and it was
determined that the future costs would have a seriously detrimental impact on the City's
ability to fund its services to the community. As a result, the City contracted with ABD
Insurance Services to assist in developing strategies. The City Manager met with each
of the employee groups on a number of occasions and discussed alternatives. As a
result, a series of adjustments were made prior to establishing the final
recommendations. '
Changes are being proposed this year for the Management group and the International
Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 4403. Changes related to IAFF Local 4403
go- I
CITY COUNCIL
MANAGEMENT BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 2
are set forth in the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Efforts to meet
with the other groups on this issue will continue during the upcoming year.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staffs recommendation by adopting the resolution;
- Modify the benefit amount or eligibility criteria and approve the resolution;
- Direct staff to postpone changes until they can be negotiated with other
represented employee groups;
- Do not approve staff's recommendation and maintain the current benefit plan;
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Under the proposed changes, the contribution will be the minimum required by
CaIPERS, which will be ninety-seven dollars ($97.00) per month in 2008. Existing
employees with a minimum of five years of full-time service at the time of retirement and
new employees with a minimum of ten years of service will receive a supplemental
monthly payment making the total monthly payment as follows:
For single annuitant coverage: $175.10
For annuitant + 1 dependent: $302.85
For annuitant + 2 or more dependents: $376.79
The minimum amount required by CaIPERS will be increased annually by a cost of
living adjustment. However, the total amount provided to those eligible for the
supplemental payment will not increa5e.
The amounts outlined above are based on the rates effective for existing retirees
beginning January 1, 2008. Contributions for existing retirees will also be frozen at this
amount until such time that the CaIPERS minimum required amount reaches this level
of payment.
It is necessary for the City Council to approve the changes at this time in order to meet
the CaIPERS deadline to make the cafeteria plan effective January 2008. It is staff's
intent to implement similar provisions with the other employee groups in the future.
Under the current plan, the City would eventually be responsible for paying nearly the
entire cost for medical benefits for all retirees on a permanent basis. This would
eliminate any ability for the City to control these costs. The current system has a
number of other flaws, including the fact that there is no length of service requirement to
be eligible for the retiree medical benefit. Since the percentage paid to retirees is
increased each year, it is important to address this issue as soon as possible to avoid
making it necessary to reduce benefit payments to existing retirees.

MANAGEMENT BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 3
ADVANTAGES:
This change will be instrumental in enabling the City to better control future retiree
medical costs. Projected costs under the proposed benefit package are significantly
below estimates for the existing retiree medical plan.
At the same time, it enables the City to provide a meaningful retirement benefit to its
employees to assist retirees in maintaining quality medical coverage. The proposal is
structured to avoid any decrease in payments received by current retirees or anticipated
by those planning their retirement during the upcoming year. In addition, the payment
amount remains competitive with benefit packages provided to employees by other
jurisdictions in the County.
DISADVANTAGES:
The modification has a detrimental impact on employees and their ability to fund their
medical benefits on a post retirement benefit.
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, November 8, 2007. The
Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, November 9, 2007. No

' PRELIMINARY CDBG FUNDING FOR 2008
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE20F6
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The County has estimated that $107,967 in CDBG funds will be available to the City in
the Fall of 2008. This estimate is equal to the final adjusted figure for the 2007 fiscal
year.
I
' BACKGROUND:
i On June 14, 2005, the City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement with the County
�; of San Luis Obispo for the joint participation in the CDBG Program for the years 2006,
I' 2007, and 2008. The City, as a participant in the Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) designated Urban County program, receives an annual formula-based allocation
of CDBG funds. These funds are available for a variety of Community Development
� activities as long as the activities meet at least one of three national objectives. The
objectives are:
, 1. Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
, 3. Address urgent community development needs that pose a serious or immediate
threat to public health or welfare. -
The County distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) and notified the public that the
County and participating cities would accept applications for funding until October 5,
2007 (Attachment 1). In addition, City and County staff held a "Needs Assessment
� Workshop" on August 29, 2007 to gather input from the public regarding the allocation
of CDBG funds.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Accept staff's recommended preliminary funding for CDBG programs for the year
2008;
- Modify staff's recommended funding for CDBG programs for the year 2008; or
li - Provide direction to staff
I� ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Staff has prepared its recommendations using the criteria listed on page three of the
RFP, particularly, that organizations must demonstrate that projects can be completed
as budgeted by June 30, 2009. The cooperative agreement between the County and
the City gives discretion regarding their allocations of funds. Unless a City's
recommendation to the County for funding is clearly in conflict with CDBG regulations,
, the County will approve the recommendation. The final decision for funding priority will
occur sometime in February or March, 2008.
Public Services
The competitiveness for public services funds, which is capped at 15 percent, increased
significantly this year. Due to the competition for these limited funds, staff developed the
additional funding criteria to explain tonighYs recommendation related to public services:

i' Priority in funding consideration has been given to programs that provide the best
;� combination of the following program characteristics:
i
, • The provision of basic human needs. Services rated highest include those
providing food, shelter, clothing, urgent medical or crisis care, and basic
! children's security. Moderate ranking includes those programs providing youth
� services, social support, and non-urgent medical care.

PRELIMINARY CDBG FUNDING FOR 2008
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
PAGE 6 OF 6
Lastly, staff recommends utilizing the remaining CDBG funds to assist the newly formed
Arroyo Grande in Bloom program. Funds will be used to assist volunteers with
beautification projects throughout the redevelopment area by helping to purchase
equipment, supplies and landscaping materials.
Administration and Planninp
Funds requested for the administration of the CDBG program remains substantially
unchanged although HUD administrative requirements are increasing. Staff
recommends allocating $21,593 for program administration.
ADVANTAGES:
Utilization of the staff proposed criteria for the allocation of pubic service funds allows
the Council to distribute funding based upon basic human needs, demonstrated
community need, scarcity of similar programs and fair financial support from regional
entities.
DISADVANTAGES:
Utilization of the staff proposed criteria for the allocation of pubic service funds has
resulted in decreased recommended awards to longtime recipients. Those programs
with reduced funding recommendations from last year include EOC Senior Health
Screening (-$1,676), EOC Forty WonderFul (-$722), EOC Teen Academic Parenting
Program (-$814), Big Brothers Big Sisters (-$1,722), Literacy Council (-$1,722).
Although these funding cuts will have an impact, review of the total program financials
indicate minor reductions in overall revenue.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The allocation of CDBG funds is not considered a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Specific projects that may have environmental impacts will be reviewed under CEQA
and NEPA prior to implementation.

EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANTS(ESG)PROGRAMS,AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM(SHP)
The County Planning and Building Department and the cities of Aaoyo Grande,Atascadero, Grover Beach,Paso

CDBG funds can be used for housing,economic development,public services and facilities that benefit low-income
families(and meet other requirements of the program). HOME funds are only for affordable housing for low-income
families. ESG funds are used for homeless shelters or doxnestic violence shelters. SHP funds aze used for a variety of
homeless services for persons.
The five participating cities and the county have been designated by the federal Department of Housing and Urban
Development(HLJD)as an"urban county"eligible to receive annual,formula-based grants of CDBG,HOME and ESG
funds directly from HUD. In the past,the county and its cities have applied for these funds through the state,competing
with many other cities and counties for grant awazds.
HUD has not notified the Urban Counry of the fiinding lavels for the 2008-funding yeaz for the program year stazting

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2. Title/name/address of proposed project or program:
EOC's Alaxine LeN�is Memorial Shelter
750 Orcutt Road
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
3. Please describe the proposed project or program. In one or two short paragraphs, include a
description of the groups who will benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the
proposed project or program. For projects, describe the ]ocation of the project (be as specific as
possible, e.g. street address). For programs, state the location from which the program will be operated
and/or describe the geographic area served by the program. Also, please include a schedule of
project/program milestones.
Progra�n description: The San Luis Obispo homeless shelter program has two shelter sites: rhe Maxine
Lewrs Memorial (MLM) Shelter at Orcutt and South Broad Street, and the Interfaith Coalition for the
Honseless (ICH) Shelter. ICH is a coalition of 14 faith-based groups that fonned nearly two decades ago to
support emergency overnight sheltering in the communiry. A different church or synagogue hosts the ICH
Shelter each month. Dinner, showers, client screening/intake for shelier beds, and client
ir�formation/r•eferral assistance occurs each night at the MLM Shelter. Families are transported to the ICH
Slzelter each night to be supported by cTsurch volunteers. Individuals and persons with special�reeds stay at
t7�e MLM Shelter.
Id'ho/how x�il1 benefit: Who: According to the 2005 Homeless Enumeration Report, 1408 individuals were
identified as homeless. A staggering 817(34%) of those counted were younger than 21,- 523 (22%of the
2408 identified homeless) were under age 12. Of the 2408 homeless persons counted, 149 (6.5%J were
counted in a shelter. All shelters were filled to capacity on the night of the count and many people had been
turned away due to overcapaciry. The MLM Shelter program is the largest in the county,providing a
sig�sif:cant service to the community.
How: The San Luis Obispo shelter program will continue to benefit the county's homeless men, wwnen ar�d
children who receive emergency intervention services to meei their most basic needs. Clien[s are treated
with respect, and receive emotional and educational support to think beyond their immediate challenges
and develop a plan to stabilize their lives and move toward greater self-su�ciency.
Location: The MLM Shelter is in the Ciry of San Luis Obispo but serves the entire county. The program
serves homeless men, women and children from each of the incorporated cities and all of the
u�:incorporated communities in the county.
Milestones: Tl�rough EOC's relationships and partnerships with other service sites and providers, many of
tl the low-income persons we serve achieve permanent housing, and more stable employment and family
I; functioning. Given our counry's housing crisis, each family's personal achieventents are program
� milestones. The outcomes achieved in our homeless programs represent incremer7tal progress toward
increased personal and community well-being. At the personal level this means a homeless person facing
''�, their problems, accepting he/p, developing a life-changing plan, and working in partnership with shelter
� staff to take a series ofsmall, manageable steps that lead to positive change. At the con:munitv level this
I means reducing the impacts on agencies and systems such as law enforcement, the courts, hospital
( e»sergency rooms, mental health and drug/alcohol resources, and child wel,fare services.

6. Describe the need and fhe degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
�Vhat H�ould be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
Need/Urge�rcy: All services offered are heavi[y used indicating a substantial need in the count��. In rhe 12
rnonths ending June 30, 2007, 846 unduplicated persorts reeeived one or more nights of shelter for a tatal of
25,410 shelter nights. Mor•e than 38% of clients were women and chi/dren and more than 34% of adults
were disabled. An arerage of 70 persons per night are shelter•ed year-round.
The MLM Shelter provides San Luis Obispo's only free dinner and breakfast to Shelter clients and other
hzrrzgry con:munity members. A total of 56,045 meals were se�ved in the'll monlhs ending 6/30/07,
including 5,225 meals to "diner/dashers" (persons x�ho came for dinner and a shox�er but not a sl:elter
bed). An average of 75 persor:s per nrghr are fed year-round.
!f not funded: Sarr Luis Obispo County's high cost of living and high cost of housing have l�eavily impacted
tlte local homeless. Until there is ait adequate suppl�� of affordable housing in tJte coi�nt��, emergenc��
sJzelteri�zg ia�ill be a fact of life. EOC's MLM Shelter has bee�i serving the counry's haneless since 1989,
Without CDBG funding from the Ciry and County of San Luis Obispo and other cities, tMe Shelter would be
forced to close. TF�e MLM Shelter is nat just the largest homeless shelter faciliry in the couriry and the only
fi•ee dinner in the City of San Luis Obispo. It is the "anchor"program for many providers and services.
Wilhout an overnight shelter ro meel the most basic needs of the homeless, outreach and assistance se�vices
are disrupted and ongoing sfabilization mrd self-sufficiency efforts are undermined.
7. Please describe the specifie organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, oon-protit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
As the county's Communiry Action Agency, EOC has provided critical services to low-income county
residents since 1965 and, since 1989, has operated the MLM Shelter in San Luis Obispo. We collaborate
with the Interfaith Coalition for the Flomeless, the City and Counry of San Luis Obispo, the SLO Housing
Authority, the SLO Supportive Housing Consortium, the Nomeless Services Coordinating Council, People's
Kitchen, and numerous public and private health and human service agencies to provide services to
honaeless clients. Key community partners include Counry DSS, County Menral Health, County Drug and
Alcohol, CHC, Transitions-Mental Health Associates, Americorp, Cal Poly, and Beyond Shelter.
To support the couirtywide continuum of homeless services, EOC is contributing state funding io�vard
creation of the counry's 10-Year Plan 10 End Chronic Homelessness. This plan wi!!be the "road map" to
help guide l�omeless service delivery for the next decade, and will benefit all communities in the couriry as
well as the network of public, private and faiCh-based paririers arad service providers.

16. How do you plaa to fund the operation and maintenance costs (if any) associated �vith this
project? Are these funds available now? If not, when will they be available? And from w6at
source(s)?
CDBG funds are the prima�y mainstream resou�•ce used to support operation and maintenance of tl�e MLA7
Shelter program. Other funding shown ai Exhibit B also supporis die shelter operation m�d is recerved
throughout the year. Every effort is made to keep costs low by generating voluttteer and in-kind support.
EOCs Head Slart ki�chen prepares the di�aner on weekdays; commu�aity groups provide dimzer ori H�eekends
and holidays. The shelter's dinner program arrnually involves severa!dozen con:muniry groups and local
families and/or individuals. We are always looking for�:ew meal providers in order to keep progran: costs
as low as possible. In addition to the volurateer groups that provide dinrier on weekends and holidays,
voluntee��s are used to help serve dinner every night and to be "evening friends".
Volurlteers and groups such as Beyond Shelter also help with specia!events such as shelter repairs/
upgrades, or take on special projects such as "shopping" at the Food Bank, or helping wi�h the "ho»zeN�ork
club". Communiq motels donate towels, sheets and blar:kets to the program; other local businesses Io
"blunket and pillotia" drii�es !o benefit shelter clients.
We are also constantly looking at ways to diversify resources, especially to support d�e largest expense
calegories of staffing, laundry and maintenance/repairs. EOCs Homeless Resource Development Advisory
Committee has recruited new members and is focusing on expanding the number offundraising events and
donor groups that support the shelter program.
EOC has also engaged a resource development consultant to create a long-range plan that will expand the
agency's capaciry to generate diversified programmatic and capital development resources. 77iat plan wi(l
be presented to the EOC Board in Ociober 2007.
17. Will CDBG funds be used to match/leverage ot6er fuods? List below funding sources and
amounts and identify award dates of these sources.
CDBG funds are the prirnary mainstream resources used to support shelter operations; CDBG and ESG
jui�ds are used to leverage all other local and private resources. Please see Exhibit B.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2. Title/nameladdress of proposed project or program:
Operation School Bell� Our distribution centers are in the Taylor Gym 1500 Lizzie St., San Luis Obispo
and class room #16 at Santa Rosa Academy, 8655 Santa Rosa Road, Atascadero.
M�lin��aadre�sescrt'b90the proposedbpioj�c�orpiogram. In one or two short pazagraphs, include a
description of the groups who will benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the
proposed project or program. For projects, describe the location of the project (be as specific as
possible, e.g. street address). For programs, state the location from which the program will be operated
and/or describe the geographic azea served by the program. Also, please include a schedule of
projecUprogram milestones.
Operation School Bell� (OSB) provides needy San Luis Obispo County grammar school children
with.new school appropriafe clothing and supplies through a County referral process or through an
elementary school's administration. Each child receives two outfits, shoes, socks, underwear, a warm
jacket, a backpack and a new age-appropriate book. It is the only ongoing program of its kind in the
County.
Continued on Paqe 2B of 10.
4. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance? If yes, please answer the following questions:
a. What new programs and/or services will be piovided?
Operation School Bell� (OSB) is our primary project. We plan to clothe 1000 children. Every year we
have a few more and ciothe those children that we can. Operation Totes is expanding yearly. last year
we donated 94 totes to the three County Women's Shelters and to SART. This year we have already
increased that number by donating to the SLO Red Cross, Assistance League will be giving totes to the
Family Care Network, 5 Cities Meals on Wheels. The totes are filled with personal hygiene products.
With more funding we will be able to increase the number of totes available and the products (ie dental
hygiene) we include in the totes.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage of an
increase is expected?
With increased funding we would be able to increase the number of
children we clothe. In the spring we would be able to clothe new students at our outreach centers, and let our
referring agencies know that we are still able to clothe children. We would be able to increase both the number
of totes available for county organizations and the products included in each tote.
The last two years we were able to"just manage"to clothe the children who applied for services. Every year more
children seek our services. We hope we will not have to turn any clients away. Our bottom line is: when we run
out of clothes we stop clothing the children, until the next school year.

The immediate goal of Operation School Bell is to make sure that children have adequate clothing to
attend school. The ultimate goal of OSB is to improve the self-esteem of the chiidren we serve so they
may get the maximum benefit from their school environment. School administration, teachers, EOC,
Migrant Education Program Workers, and many other agencies make referrals of children K-6th grade
who are need of new school clothes.
Clothing Appointments - The telephone answering machines at our facilities have a message in both
English an Spanish, with instructions on how to make a clothing appointment. We start August
1, 2007 and end April 30, 2008
Children are clothed at both North and South OSB sites (Taylor Gym in SLO and Santa Rosa
Academy in Atascadero)three times perweek(after school and Saturday). Clothing sessions will
continue through April, or as Iong as we have a sufficient supply of inventory. During each
clothing session, three orfour volunteers individually assist 16-18 children in the selection of two
school appropriate outfits, plus shoes, socks, undervvear and a jacket. In addition, the children
through our Books For Packs receive a grade appropriate book. As of September 30, 2007 we
have clothed 500 San Luis Obispo County children
The Outreach Program -With the cooperation of Healthy Start and the Migrant Education Program, who
evaluate the children in need of our services in the outlying areas of our County, we conduct the
Outreach program. Schools in this program include four elementary schoois in the Lucia Mar
School District, Shandon and San Miguel. We schedule at least one clothing session per school
per year during the months of September, October, and November. Our volunteers will travel to
the Outreach schools with bags of clothing that have been packed the day before for each child.
The children are scheduled to come to an on-site location at the school (classroom or office) to
try on and select their clothing. The children receive the same assortment of school clothes that
they would have received at one of our clothing sites.
Preparations for Year-end inventory-All remaining items of inventory are sorted and organized so they
may be counted during the year-end physical inventory, May 31, 2008
Ordering - Our volunteer buyers evaluate the year-end physical inventory count and complete making
bulk orders for jackets, jeans/shorts/skirts and t-shirts/blouses, shoes, backpacks and books.
Through the year we receive large donations of opened packages of undervvear and socks from
Wal Mart, Paso Robles. Volunteers sort and bundle the clothes by size. Our shoe buyer wiil
make several trips during the year to K-Mart in Atascadero(where the store gives us a substantial
discount). During the summer our orders arrive and we stock our shelves and racks. The clothing
is displayed as they would be in a ciothing store.
Distribution of flyers - During July and August volunteers distribute flyers to the county schools, EOC,
Social Services, Healthy Start and the Migrant Education Programs. The flyers announce our
services, give our phone numbers and request referrals of children who are need of new clothes.
For the past several years we have clothed over 1,000 county children at a cost of $80.00 per child.
Last year we clothed
Arroyo Grande - 55 children
Atascadero - 162 children
Grover Beach - ' 75 children
Paso Robles - 141 children
San Luis Obispo - 76 children /�,��^��
Other SLO County - 506 children ���

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
The last two years we "just managed"to clothe the children who applied for services. With added fund
raisers and more granf writing we were able to make ends meet. Every year more children seek our
services. We hope we will not have to turn any clients away. Grants from government agencies and
other giving organizations are being cut because there are more non profit organizations applying for
grants and other aid. Our bottom line is: when we run out of clothes we stop clothing the children, until
the next school year.
7. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency,non-profit, for-proSt,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
During July and August we send flyers to every organization and elementary school that can refer
children who need clothes. They include Migrant Education Programs in Paso Robles, Shandon, San
Miguel, San Luis Obispo, Oceano, and Nipomo; Community Link, Department of Social Services. EOC..
Family Resource Center, North County Shelter &Women's Resource Center, Morro Bay Health, Paso
Robies Health Department. SLO County Mental Health, Self Help Housing, Kinship CenterAmerican Red
Cross, Behavioral Health Services, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Casa Voices for Children, Family Care
Network, Life Steps Linkages, Mental Health Youth Services, Migrant Head Start EOC, Salvation Army
Social Services, SLO Child Abuse Prevention Council, SLO County YMCA, United Way of SLO County.
Starting August 1 the clients who have been referred by one of the above organizations, call and make
an appointment at either OSB location. Our message is in English and Spanish. By August 15 we are
clothing children. A majority of our clients are clothed by December 1 at one of our two centers or
through our outreach program for children who can not travel to Atascadero or San Luis Obispo. We do
continue clothing children until April 30 or until we run out of clothes. Members of Assistance League
schedule appointments, get inventory, stock inventory and help our clients choose their shoes, socks,
jeans, tops, backpack and book. Our organization and services are preformed 100% by volunteers.

10.Who are the clients of your organization? (Esample: low- to moderate-income persons, eiderly
persons,severely disabled persons,migrant farm workers,battered sponses, etc.)
• Children of Migrant Farm Workers
• Children of Battered Spouses
• Children in low income homes
Our clients are elementary school children who need clothes. They are in grades K - 6�'. All of our
clients are referred to us by the various county agencies (ie. Migrant Education Program, Women's
Shelters, see question 7) and elementary schools. We assume they are from families that are from low
to moderate income. The referring agencies and especially the schools do not share with us the family's
income level. We only ask that the referring agency verify that they are in need of clothing and could
benefit from our assistance. Our clients come to us from schools with higher Title 1 percentages.

(2) meeting the educational needs of low-achieving children in our Nation's highest-poverty schools,
limited English pro�cient children, migratory children, children with disabilities, Indian children, neg/ecfed
or delinquent children, and young children in need of reading assistance;
11. How will the clients benefit from this project?
People when wearing a new outfit feel better about themselves. Children in new clothes feel better about
themselves and should do better in school. Properly fitted shoes are good for the feet and healthier
growth. A jacket for warmth. Some children receive for the first time a book of their very own. Clothes
don't insure a better education, but feeling better about themselves does assist their learning. We have
had children write us notes about their first, never been worn by someone else clothes. Parents write
us about how happy their chiidren are with their_new clothes. Teachers write to teli us how much better
the children act when they are wearing their new clothes.

BENEFIC`IARY DATA
12. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed project or
program? (Example: raciaUethnic characteristics)*
Our clients are elementary school children who need clothes. They are in grades K - 6"'. We have
collected data on the children - school attended, and city where they live - which we have used in our
reports and grant requests in the past. When we deliver our informational flyers to our county schools
we suggest that they refer students who are in the free lunch program in their school.
We also know the referring agency, but we have not yet used that information. All of our ciients are
referred to us by the various county agencies and elementary schools. We assume they are from
families that are from low to moderate income. The referring agencies and especially the schools do not
share with us the family's income level. We only ask that the referring agency verify that they are in need
of clothing and could benefit from our assistance.
We have been able to get information about the number of children in each school with Title 1 monies,
but we are not able to get specific information about the number of children who are referred to us as
being a Title 1 student. -
From the US Department of Education:
T/TLE I--IMPROV/NG THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF THE D/SADVANTAGED
(2) meeting the educational needs of low-achieving children in our Nation's highest-poverty schools,
limited English proficient children, migratory children, children with disabilities, Indian children, neglected
or delinquent children, and young children in need of�eading assistance;
We are now compiling the statics of agency referrals which we assume will help us in our future reports
and grant requests. We hope the referring agencies will be able to help us with the standards they use
when referring clients to us.
*NOTE: You are required to provide beneficiary data at the end of each quarter of the fiscal yeaz if funds
are drawn.
13. How do you currently document income status of each client? (example: very low, low -and
moderate - income)?
We don't. We need help to figure out how to comply with this request. We hope that comparing the
number of students from each school to the percentage on Title 1 funds will help with our documentation.
Also, documenting the number of clients referred to us from a agency using theirfinancial guidelines for
public assistance. Our National Assistance League does not want us to refuse service to any student
based on financial information. We clothe all children who are referred to us.

6. Describe the need and t6e degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
VVhat would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the oezt year?
Since the aging process is a contributing factor in the risk of breast mzd cervical cancer, regular
screening exams become vital as a woman ages. A'ith early access to reproductive he6lth care and
diagnosis of a problem,fir2ancially and emotionally costly treatrnent can be avoided. Annual
mammography can detect a lump as much as tx�o years before it can be felt, increasing the probabiliry
of a woman's su�vival. And although the Amerrcan Cancer Society recommends minual clinical breast
ezams and mammograms for early detection of breast cancer, inabiliry of the patient to pay is the most
frequently.citedreasonswhy_women.do.not.elect_to have mammograms. �
Low-iricome breast cancer patients have lower five year relative survival rates than higher-income
patients. Califorr:ia data suggests that much of the difference in survival rates behveen lower-income
patients and those in higher-income br•ackets is due to late diagnosis. Unfortunately, breast and
cervical cancer symptoms occur late in the disease process. Early screening greatly enhances t]ze cure
rate and helps women avoid f:nancially and emotionally costly treafinent.
Further,fewer medical facilities and fewer physicians in our county result in a population with fewer
health care options. Forty Wonderful serves as a critical safety nei for this vulnerable population of
women. No-cost preventive healih screening services increase the likelihood that medically underserved
women in this age group will access medical care before a serious and potentially life-threatening
condition is diagnosed. CDBG funds will support early detecfion of diseases and conditior:s before they
require more ectensive and expensive treatment. N'ithout CDBG support, EOCI-IS'ability to maintain
these essential health care services for low-income women would be severely compromised.
7. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed project or
program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-profit, for-profit, experience in
operating similar programs, etc.):
The Forty Wonderful Program utilizes Nurse Practitioners to provide the medical care and education at
both clinic sites. These medical providers are highly sensitive to the special concerns ojwomen 40 and
older and are aware of the impact of socioeconomic status on utilization of health care. Oversight of all
medical services is provided by a Medical Director. A case manager provides support and follow-up
with clients. Data is collected and reported through the Practice Management System.
Forty Wo�zderful is strengthe�aed by its sirong collaborative relationships in the commurtity. Progrmn
staff collaborate with the Cal:fon:ia Cancer Detection Program, local mammography providers, and
physicians who provide follow-up care. Outreacli to the Latino comnranity occurs at health fairs in
Niponto, Oceano and Grover Beach.

10. �'�'ho are the clients of your organization? (Example: low- to moderate-income persons, elderly
persons, severely disabled persons, migrant farm workers, battered spouses, etc.)
The Forty Wonde�ful Program serves womera, ages 40 and over, tlsroughout San Luis Obispo County.
The target population includes Medi-Cal r•ecipients, Latinas, ihe uninsured and under-insur•ed, the
wa•king poor, and other low-income women.
I1. How will the clients benefit from this project?
EOC Health Services operates on(y.c[inics in_the counry_that provide free menopausal services for
wornen in need As stated, Forty Wonderful fills a large void in preveniive health care so that low-
income women in the vulnerable 40+ age group can access reproductive health care before a serious m�d
life-threatening condition occurs.
Forty IVo�:derful's main emphasis is to help women get timely care in order io avoid the potentially
devastating impacts of advanced disease. Prevention and early detectiori not only reduce the mortaliry
rates of cancer and chronic diseases, they are also relatively inexpensive compar•ed to the costs of an
advanced disease. With routine Pap test screening, 73%of all cervical cancers are diagnosed in the
earliest, most curable stages. With breast cancer screening and early detecfion, treatment of noninvasive
carcinomas in the early stages of invasive carcinoma often prevents meiaslasis. Referrals are provided
to medical providers for bone densiry screening. Early detection of bone loss through screening and
follow-up care helps prevent osteoporosis which affects 20 million people in the United States each year.
Hip fractures alone cost$600 million annually.
Further, our Forty Wonderful coniributes to a seamless continuum of care in several ways. First, low-
income women can transition from contraceptive use to mid-life services utilizing the same health care
provider for contiriuity. Women in various stages of inenopause often experience a variety of new and
potextially uncomfortable changes in their bodies. 7t is inzportant during this time of their lives for them
lo have medical professionals who are sensitive to their special concerns and who instill reassura�ace,
� confzdence and trust. Nurse Practitioners encourage behaviors and activities that focus on preventing
disease and maintaining optimal health among low-income women. Second, many of the women in t/7is
population are part of the "sandwich generation", caring for elderly parents as wel!as tlieir own
children. With these additional responsibilities, their personal health issues often become a lower priority
as they put their family's needs ahead of iheir own. Third, thanks to a greater focus on diet, exercise and
stress management, our traditional myths about aging are being debunked. For healthy women, age 50
is the new 40 and age 60 the new 50. In order to maximize lhe benef:ts of this new "age paradigm",
women need education, encouragement and reinforcement to be proactive about health screening and
preventive measures that support a healthy lifesryle and promote longer life.
Addiiionally, by encouraging older women to focus on wellness, and by accepting a new "age paradigm",
health care providers can change the culture of aging which, in turn, ca�i positively impact our local
heallh care systems.

The Senior Health Screening (SHS) Program provides preventive and maintenance health screening,
edircation, GY1C�YQ�errals nt 19 senior focused sites throughout San Luis Obispo County to approximately
650 seniors, age 50 arid over,per year. The SHS team, consisting of a supervising Registered Nurse
(RN) and a clerk/aide, brings equipment, supplies, and a laptop for data collection to each site on a pre-
designated a�:d advertised day of the month. Screening includes: blood pressure,pulse and weigh�
rnonrtoring, hemoglobin, blood gh�cose, cholesterol, hemoccult (to detect colorectal cancer), and
sensonnl�lu vaccines. Educational topics include diet, exercise, lifestyle modification, reir jorcement of
��teclication compliance, appropriate use ojJtospital emergency rooms, and bereavernent issues.
Referrals to other healdt,food, social and legal services are routiitely provided. C[inics are held at
local ch:rrcl7es, senior and communiry centers, senior residentia!facilities, mobile home parks, and
other locations where seniors already gather.
A/though medically one of the most vulnerable seg»ients of the population, seniars are often reluctant or
:urable to go to a doctor or get advice about a physical problem or change. The provision of compete�rt,
mobile health screening services, offered in a comfortable environment by trusted staff at the
neighborhood level, enhances the efftcacy of the screening process. Staff promotes behaviors and
activities that focus on reaching and maintaining optimal health and stabiliry, help identify possible
hea1t11 problems, and ojfer support and soclal interaction for seniors.
The EOC Seitior Health Screenmg Program is committed to ensuring that seniors have access to
services which he/p nraintain their health, independence and gua/ity of life, and avoid premature
unri costly instrtutionalization. CDBG funding plays an essential role in continui�ig these vital
services to our senior comnrunity.

The delivery of nffordable yua/iry health care rs a serious need for local seiiiors ln�ing at fixed incomes.
Due to !he curreut shorlage of comzty plvysicim�s, many seniors do not have a regular pliysicima or, if

problenrs carr derelop suddenlv, thereby burdening our county's e���ergency services. When seniors are
poor, norr-English speaking, or geographically or culturally isolated, access to health cm�e becomes
more difficult for them und their families. Seniors who lack transportatron and access to affordab/e
hen/dt cn�•e remain at risk for undetected health or life-direatening conditions.

I�i light of the cur•rent clrrnate of i�icr•easing lrealth car•e costs mid high cost of livi�ig on d�e Ce�rtral
Const, combined wrth a srgnificant reduction ojhealth care providers, the regulariry of SHS clinres is
one of the best forn:s of preve�ttive health services available to county seniors. Increased access to

lije, it helps delay or avoid costl�� hosprtalizatia� oi•care. Delivering services at sites where seniors
nlreadj�gather minrmizes trunsportation barriers. Additionally, clients are empowered by t/re ability to

211 SLO Hotline - 24 hour crisis intervention, support, and information 8� referral service.
P.O. Box 5456, San Luis Obispo, CA 93403
3. Please describe the proposed project or program.
Hotline of San Luis Obispo is located within the City limits of San Luis Obispo, California and has
received certification by the California Public Utilities Commission to provide 211 service for the
county of San Luis Obispo. In November, 2007 Hotline will become 211 SLO Hotline and will
have a three-digit, easy to use, easy to remember'phone number to call. The agency will continue
to provide to the residents of San Luis Obispo County, high-quality free referral, support and crisis
intervention seroice that has been available 24 hours each day for 38 years, and will add a web-
based technology platform for public access to a searchable database with quickly updated
information and expanded search capabilities. Additionally, 211 brings an increased level of
disaster support to the County. In an emergency, we can send calls out of harms way or tie in to
other 211 agencies for overflow. Calls to 211 help to keep 911 lines available for emergencies.
2007 was a start-up and implementation time. The 2008 plan year allows 211 SLO Hotline the
opportunity to maximize the benefits available with the 211 technology so that our community is
better connected to vital services they need.
Our program goal for 2008 is to increase the number of county residents using 211 and to
enhance the basic capabilities offered by 211 SLO Hotline so more services are available as
needed to those who need them and will be accomplished as follows:

4. Will the services offered by your organization increase or eapand as a result of the CDBG
assistance? If yes, please answer the following questions:
Calls to other 211 Centers have averaged a 100% increase in the first year following
conversion 211. The growth is primarily due to an increased awareness of the service
because of marketing, education and outreach and because 211 is an easy number to
remember and dial.
With CDBG assistance 211 SLO Hotline can put the people and services in place to achieve,
support and maximize the potential growth. Without financial support, marketing and outreach
efforts will be limited and service potential will be unrealized.

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the uext year?
There has been a demonstrated need for Hotline's free crisis intervention, support, referral and
information service for almost 38 years. 211 SLO Hotline must attract and generate grants
and private funding for the next 2-3 years until mandated state or federal funding is legislated
and available.
Our agency is only one of a few in the country to use an all-volunteer call handling force.
Volunteers are becoming a very precious resource as more nonprofits are recruiting, time to
give is increasingly limited, bi-lingual skills are difficult to find and our service requires
significant training, time and level of commitment. Additionally, computerization has alienated
some experienced volunteers and our student base tends to leave after graduation. Public
Utilities Commission requirements and the Association of Information and Referral Service
standards require increased levels of supervision and additional certification regulations. The
additional structure brings improvements and a higher cost of doing business. We need to rely
on our municipal partners for support or find an altemative way to handle the 24,000 calls
projected for 2008.
7. Please describe the specific orgaoizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group,public agency,non-profit, for-pro5t,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
211 SLO Hotline is a single, non profit agency representing, referring to, and working in a
collaborative way with all agencies and support groups in SLO County.
NATIONAL OBJECTIVES CRITERIA
8. Does the proposed project or activity meet one of t6e three aational objectives of tLe

�Vf. `�
At least 5,902 of the 11,737 calls taken 2006-2007, or about 50% of 211 SLO Hotline's
calls, are from low income callers. We anticipate an increase in calls with 211 seroice in
place and an increase in our low income callers as access to services is more available
and issues impacting their daily lives increase.
Specific issues for low to moderate income populations are; affordable housing, domestic
abuse, mental health/suicide issues, senior services, drug and alcohol abuse.
• 25% Hotline calls are calls regarding shelter, housing and food. According to the
ACTION for Healthy Communities Comprehensive Report 2006, fair market rents in San
Luis Obispo County have risen by 18% to 22% between 2001 and 2005. The data from
this 2006 report indicates that nearly 50% of the survey respondents indicated that
housing and utilities consume more than one third of their income in 2006. According to
HUD, the general definition of affordable housing is to pay no more than 30% of ones
income towards housing.
• 11% of the calls received by our agency are calls regarding domestic violence and
referrals to the Women's Shelter in San Luis Obispo. According to the Women's Shelter
website 50% of all homeless women and children are fleeing domestic violence
situations and 3-4 million women are beaten by their husbands or boyfriends every
year.
• 4% of the calls received by our agency are calls from senior citizens looking for referrals
to health and human services. San Luis Obispo County population statistics show a
projected average increase in senior populations from the year 2005 to 2010 at 6.82%.
This rising senior population is a group who either is retired or preparing to retired and
have more than likely never had to seek out public health services.
• According to the Nonprofit Economic Impact Study of San Luis Obispo County, the most
frequently cited prime purpose of a nonprofit in San Luis Obispo County is for human
services equaling 39.4% of the total nonprofits in our area.
• It has been documented that programs emphasizing prevention are much more cost
effective than the cost of dealing with problems after they have occurred. Good
examples of some of these cost effective preventative human services issues are:
housing, health and domestic abuse.
Hotline understands the need for preventative services and the social responsibility for
communities to provide these services. The consequences of not funding the 211 SLO hotline
free information and referral service; would lead to a decrease in the number of low to
moderate income individuals connected to the preventive programs available, which would
eventually lead to an increase in the overall costs of these program.
9. a. Total number of persons or households who will beneft from the project or
program (regardless of income group):
257,005 Persons residing in SLO county
b. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
low-income(earning 51% - 80% or less of the County median-income)?
11.2 % of the county population or 28, 785 people.

10. Who are the clients of your organizatiou? (Example: low=to moderate-income persons, elderly
persons, severely disabled persons, migrant farm workers, battered spouses, etc.)
See #8 and Statistics attached
I1. How will tMe clients benefit from this project?
The 211 SLO Hotline three digit number is both easy to remember and easy to dial. This
guarantees access to Hotlines referral services and therefore, access to the necessary service
needed by the residents of San Luis Obispo County.
BENEFICIARY DATA
12. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed project or
program? (Eaample: raciaVethnic characteristics)*
211 SLO Hotline collects data from each call that is answered in the Call Center using the Webinform
Program. 211 SLO Hotline does not collect income or race data for confidentiality reasons, however,
we can draw the conclusion that the°majority of the clients Hotline supports are from the low to
moderate-income groups. That assumption is based primarily on the nature of the calls and the fact
that the agencies we refer to are not for profit services and generally only available to those with low or
moderate income levels.
13. How do you currently document income status of each client? (Ezample: very low, low-and
moderate-income)*
The majority of incoming calis, over 50%, are identified to fR within the guidelines of presumed low
or moderate-income population groups. See#12
*NOTE: You aze required to provide beneficiary data at the end of each quarter of the fiscal
yeaz if funds are drawn.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2. Title/name/address of proposed project or program:
Motel Voucher/Apartment Program for Medically Fragile Homeless
3. Please describe the proposed project or program. In one or two short paragraphs, include a
descripfion of the groups who will benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the
pmposed project or program. For projects, describe the location of the project (be as specific as
possible, e.g. street address). For programs, state the location &om which the program will be operated
and/or describe the geographic azea served by the program. Also, please include a schedule of
project/program milestones. The program provides temporary, 24-hour shelter to
the medically fragile homeless in S .L.O. County, those who are too iil,
� injured or disabled to be out during the day and cannot be served in an
overnight shelter. They iaill be housed at 3224 Pine, 3217 Pine, Paso Robles,
5455 E1 Camino Real, AE'ascadero, 761 Butte, Morro Bay, 1401 E1 Camino, Arroyo
Grande, in motels and in such other locations as may be acquired. They will
benefit by being able to follow doctor' s orders £or bed rest, etc. and get
well, or, if they cannot get t�ell, be sheltered u til h s d. We expect to
�rovide 6117 shelter nights. We began to serve SL� and �� �ast year.
4. Will the services offered by yoar organization incresse or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance? If yes,please answer the following questions: Yes.
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
The services and program will be the same, but we might mention that the
e::pansion from the N. County to the whole county took place last year. Our
percentages are now running as foliows: City of Residence of client
San Miguel 5q6. Paso Robles 23%, Atascadero 35%, San Luis Obispo 31%, Arroyo
Grande 3%, Morro Bay 3%•
We expect a 30% increase this year and another 30% inerease in the year
for which this grant is made. This is expected due to the normal increase in the
homeless population and increased usage by the South County. That would mean
3619 shelter nights in 2006-7, 4705 in 2007-8 and 6117 in 2008-9.
The prediction of a 30% increase in a normal year is conservative in view 1
of the fact that the year before last produced a 48% increase, with only a few ;
cas2s outside of the N. County. i
I
�
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage of an
increase is expected? see 4. a. above.
Last year our shelter nights increased by 62%, and we expect at least �
another 30% increase ne:t year. The increase is because of expanding � '
services to the entire county instead of the N. Countp alone. No other �
agency is offering 24-hour shelter to the medically fragile homeless
in this county.

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
thenextyear? THe need is urgent because it is emergency shelter for persons
with no shelter who are too ill, injured, disabled or wea7; to be out during
the day. Without it, they would get worse rather tlian better. Some �aould
die. Hospitals would have to retain patients who don't need hospital care,
or release them without an adequate discharge plan.
7. Please descri6e the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program(single or multiple group,public agency,non-profit,for-profit,
experienceinoperatin�similarprograms,etc.): The �roject wili be operated by a
single non-profi agency, in partnership with hospitals and other
agencies who make referrals, pre-screen clients, and provide casework.

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What wouid be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
The TAPP Progran: was originully established in �•esponse to the significant increase in teen births in
our comiti�, unrl the resulting gaps in services for pregiaant and purenting teens. When teens become
purents, the social and economic realities can be overwhelming. Problems faced by pregnant and
parenting teens include isolatio�i and loss of a viable social netx�ork; lack oJtransporration to school,
emp/oyment, nnd health and social services; lack of childcare; lack of coping skills; dropping out of
school,- subsequent pr•eg�tancies; gang involven:ent; mtd use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
Substance ab:�se has its oH�n associated risks such as poor pregnancy ouicome,poor jttdgment and risk
ussessment, and poor inrpulse control, all of which contribute to a greater risk of harrn 10 a baby.
Subs�ance abuse during pregnancv can have Iai -I��e('Jects on the fetus whicJi can result in
ndditio�ral communitv costs due to special education needs. suDOOrt services and inabiliry to become a
rontr�ibutin¢mernber of societv. Lack ofparenting skills, low levels of knowledge of child development
mrd age-appropriate expectations, ignoring indications when a baby is sick or distressed, lack of
positive role models for parenting, and marginal nutritional practices p16ce these teens'babies at an
alarminglv high risk of abuse, neglect, ill health, and accidents.
Tl�e TAPP program has evolved into a highly effective case management approach which is caring,
flexrble, and responsive to the needs of local clients and ihe comnrur:ities in which they live. Fundirrg
fi-om stnte Adolescent Fantily Life Program (AFLP) and Cal Learn progrmns have enabled TAPP ro
se�ve 336 pareruing teens over the past year. In addition, the case managers provide positive support
and role models to the children a�sd other jamily members of the teen parents.
Increused competitiori for outside funding, a(orlg with the AFLP contract requirement for match fundirrg,
den:ands that jw�ding be diversified in order to sustain this vital program. If adequate CDBG funding is
rtot received, there will not be t/�e fznarrcia!support needed to serve the number of teen parents curreittly
referred to the program. TAPP seeks CDBG fu�rding to enable case nzanagers to reach every pregnant
und parenting teen in the county in order to help them to become belter parents, complete their
educulion, and nchieve financial s�abiliry and independence.

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgenry for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if thc pruposed project or program is oot funded in
the next ye�r'!
The need for literacy scrvices in San Luis Obispo County is great e,nd growing. The National Institute for
Literacy publishes adult literacy.estimates. Their rating system uses 1 as the lowest literacy level and 5 as
thc highest. The latest published data for oi�r coun2y shows that 17% of our population age ]6 and older is
Iat lcvd 1-the lowest literacy level and 3R"/�are at combined levcic 1 and 2.
I The major consequences of low literacy are:
Welfaze: 75%of food siamp recipients perfocm at[he lowcst nvo levels of literacy.
50%of adults on wclfare do not have a high school diploma or GED.
43% of ttdults with low literacy skills live in pover[y.
Crime: 70% of prisoners perform at the two lowest literacy levels.
Continuing cycle: Children's literacy levels are strongly linked to the educational level of their pazenu.The
most sisnificant predictor for children to have success in school is for the primary cazegiver to have
graduated from high schor+l nr hnve a C.FD.
Children of parents who aze unemployed and have not completed high school are five times more likely to
drop out of school.
Literaey is often the first step for a person to become a productive and cornributing member of their
community. Better F.,nglish languagc skilte easily translate into better johs and hi�hei wages for our
learners. With beder jobs and hi�r wages our learncrg become active p�oduciive participants in their
communities. Because our service is provided one-w-one or in small gr�ups, our (eamers are pro�ided with
the level and type of insaucdon�specific to theu uniyue needs. Our tutors are prepared to help with such
necessary skills as filling out job applications, leaming job specific vocabulary, attaining a driver's license,
prepazing for the GED test, and studying for the citiunship test. They arc also prepared to teach parents to
reed to iheir childten and to help teens improve their English language skills. Often, a mentoring
� reiatiouship devclops whercin sdf-esteem and lifc skills aze modeled and lcarncd.
i
� The recruitment,training and retention of volunteer tutors are expensive,on-going, and lahor-intensive
' ef�'Orts. We offer monthly tutor trainin�s condutted by Literacy C�uncil ctaff: F,nch trainin�+ Sradutrtes,on
' average,fi£teen new tutors. The trainings ae�twelve hours over a two-day period. Most tutors work une-on-
' one or in small yroups of two or three learners per tutor. This low tutor-learner ratio builds bonds between
i turors and leazners and is an extremely eflecdve[eaching straiegy. However, it requires a lazge and
( constantly replenished poo)of tutors, as well as, staff support,books,and materials. Without ever
increasing funding,the Literacy Council would not be able to responA to the demnnd posed by the ever
increu9ing number of individuals in,San I,uis Obispo County nceding to leam Basic English language skills.
i
� Recruiting, training, and retaining tutors constitute one comT+onent of what the Literacy Council needs to.do
� in order to pmvide iu services. The other cnuial component is the assurance that zach individual that sexks

materials to leamers and to individuals on our waiting lists hoping to be leazners. The l.iieracy Council
effectively serves all of San I.uis Ubispo County.
In order to grow and maintain the integrity of i[s program, [he T.iteracy Council needs qualified,professional
staff to administe�, create, and acroalizc a viable literucy program that affects every community in our
county. .

1. Il�e inability to recruit and trein the needed number of tutors.
2. The increase in mvnbers of poteniial learners on waiting lists.
3. Not having enough bboks and materials.
4. Loss of staff to positions that promise better wages and bcnefits.

3. Please describe the proposed project or program. In one or two short paragrapns, indude a
description of the groups who will benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the proposed program.
For projects, describe the location of the project (be as specific as possible, e.g. street address). For programs,
state the location from which the program will be operated andlor describe the geographic area served by the
program. Also, include a schedule of projectlprogram milestones.
The CASA program recruits, screens, trains and supervises community volunteers (CASAs) who
become swom officers of the couR to represent the best interests of children under the jurisdiction of the
San Luis Obispo County Juvenile Dependency Court.' CASA volunteers investigate the case, monitor for
compiiance with court orders and advocate for necessary health (mental, physical, dental and vision),
education and special needs of an assigned child or sibling group. CASAs formally present their case in
court reports and make comprehensive recommendations to the court in the child's best interest. CASA
services include (but are not limited to) home visits, enrichment activities, education/special education
advocacy and refeRals for intervention services. In the case of older youth, an important component of
the CASA's duties is to be a mentor and link the youth with employment training and post secondary
education, as well as enhance the youth's life skills and interpersonal/social skills. It is common for a
CASA to work with a child for an average of 1°.9 years, providing an average of 15 hours of
advocacy/mentoring per month. Our services are provided county-wide. Most often, the CASA volunteer
travels to the child's placement or school, however volunteer orientation, training and supervision take
place in the CASA office:
This proposed program will support the costs associated with a .25 futl time equivalent (FTE)
Advocate Supervisor to oversee 6 CASA volunteers who will be appointed to serve a minimum of 6 court
dependent children. These CASAs will be assigned to abused and neglected foster teens, ages 13 to
18. San Luis Obispo County has a high ayerage of teens in foster care (more than 25°k of the children
are over the age of 15). Youth development issues that will be addressed include independent living
skills, education, career exploration,.reduction in criminal and violent behavior and resources for support
systems. These are enhancements to the already intensive advocacy provided. Timeline: Activity is
ongoing and new activities will be assigned immediately to cases until it is dismissed by the court.
Milestones would be: 1) recruitment and training of new volunteers, 2) assignment of CASA volunteers to
cases to match 6 court dependent teens, 3) ongoing advocate supervision of CASA volunteers to provide _
resources, feedback and continuing education and 4) continuous reporting to the court and monitoring of
the services for all assigned youth.
4. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the
CDBG assistance? If yes, please answer the foltowing questions:
a.What new programs andlor services will be provided?
No new services will be provided in this grant..
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will' be expanded and what percentage of an increase is
expected? "
Each year we must secure new funding to maintain our current level of service. Nevertheless,
CASA's goal is to continue to develop new supporters and funders until we are able to serve all of the
children. The numbers document our current level of service and speak to the need for more support.
There are approximately 455 childre� under the jurisdiction of the juvenile dependency court and CASA
has been asked to serve on all cases. Currently, there are 88 adive volunteers advocating for 135 court
dependent children. There are still 320 children on a waitlist for an advocate. This funding would allow
us to serve at least 6 youth or sibling groups.

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in the
nextyear?
In the past decade, there has been a measurable increase in the number of children living in
extreme poverty in San Luis Obispo County. Families experiencing economic difficulties are more likely
to encounter child abuse. More and more children have been entering the foster care system in San Luis
Obispo County. Regarding the welfare of foster care children after they become adults and leave the
system, there are numerous studies to indicate the degree to which these children are at high-risk. The
social costs of foster care's poor outcomes are staggering, with the costs especially high for youth who
leave the system at age 18 without having been adopted. Westat, Inc. found that 2.5 to 4 years aiter
youth left the foster care, 46% had not completed high schooi, 38% had not held a job for more than one
year, 25% had been homeless for at least one night, 60% of young women had given birth to a child and
40°h had been on public assistance, incarcerated or a cost to the communiry in some other way.' These
dismal statistics reflect the failure of the foster care system to meet the needs of foster care youth and
adequately prepare these children for successful independence. One of the sign�cant factors that
contribute to these outcomes is the lack of quality education for foster youth.
Children in foster care are physicaliy and emotionally traumatized by parental abuse or neglect
and then may suffer from "system abuse°, moving from placement to placement and from school to
school. Children neediessly fall behind academicaliy, lose credits and lose contad with people who are
aware of the child's health and education needs. These changes can be ovenvhelming and
incapacitating, often leading to a number of behavioral problems that consequently could require a new
foster care placement and a new school. A major concern expressed by the local foster youth
Independent Living Program's Advisory Board is that the reading ability of many of the teenagers is
significantly below grade level and some of the teenagers are functionally ill'derate. CASA has similar
concerns. Through its advocacy, CASA has ident�ed numerous children who had not been identified for
educational services.
7. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agencies, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
For three consecutive years, the San Luis Obispo Grand Jury recommended the creation
of a local Court Appointed Special Advocate program to help ensure the best interests of the
courrty's children. The Superior Court supported this recommendation and repeatedly
requested funding from the Board of Supervisors. This funding was not forthcoming, so in
August 1991 a group of foster parents and business people came together to form a CASA
program. The first group of volunteers was trained in January of 1993. We were appointed to
our first case in March 1993. Thus far, CASA volunteers have served more than 2,000 San Luis
Obispo County children. Our program has grown every year. The organization's original goals
, focused on developing a viable CASA program that could serve the juvenile court by providing
quality advocacy for abused and neglected children within mandated standards. We have
absolutely achieved that goal. The court now has a standing order requesting a CASA be
assigned for every juvenile coming under the court's jurisdiction. Our current goal is to expand
our capacity to serve every child as the court requests.

14. Who are the clients af your organization? (Exampte: tow- to moderate-income
persons, etderty persons, severely disabied persons, migrant farm workers, battered
spouses, etc.)
Our clients are the chiidren who are under the jurisdiction of the San Luis Obispo County's
Juvenile Dependency Court due to abuse, negiect or abandonment. These children come from all areas
of the county, are mate and female, range in age from newborn to nineteen and represent alt ethrric ',
groups in our county. Many of the chiidren have developmental delays and/or disabilities due to prenatai ',
exposure to drugs and afcohoi, negiect, poor nutrition and abuse. Approximately 90%of chiidren ',
currently in Foster Care entered care with one or more physicai or mentai heaith conditions requiring ,
treatment. The more common conditions are upper respiratory infections {47.5%), mentai, emotionai or
behavioral probiems {23°k}, ear infection (20%), vision, hearing and speech impairment (18°/a), dental
problems {16%) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder(10%). Afthough Iess common,we also have
children in care who are pregnant, have cancer, diabetes, seizures, congenitai heart disease, and a wide
range of other conditions.2
CASA predominateiy serves chiidren at or below the poverty line. This spec�c grant wouM
senre 6 youth between the ages of 13 and 19 who are in out-of-home placements (foster care).
11. How wiii the ciients benefit from this project?
CASA volunteers provide exceilent roie models for the children. Numerous studies document tfie
positive impact that mentoring has on reducing negative behaviors, including substance abuse, violence,
schooi failure, gang participation, etc. Through their weekly mentoring visits, CASA volunteers provide a
consistent aduft frie�d who influences chiidren's ahility to form positive, trusting relationships and
responsibie behaviors. CASA volunteers interadions with their assigned CASA child help to empower
the chiid to take responsibility for his or her current actions and influence the chiki's ability to overcome
the negative results of abuse. The statistics linki�g chiid abuse to future substance abuse, violence,
depression, incarceration, teen pregnancy, homelessness, etc. are staggering. Research shows that
children with CASA volunteers have better autcomes and receive more services arid supports. Our local
program has been successfu► in posftively impacting school performance, social attributes and behavioral
change. 1"he National CASA arganization has been recognized by the US Department of Justice as a
model juvenile delinquency prevention program and has merited awards and recognition from the US
Cangress and the White House. Our CASA program complies with National CASA standards and is
recognized by our state CASA as an exemplary program.
BENEFICIARY DATA
12. How do you currently collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed
p�oject o► prog�am? (Example: raciallethnic characieristics}"
We are able to ascertain this infortnation through court petitions. The Judicia► Council
requires us to report on the demographic information of our clients. As a child or sibling group's
case is entered into the database (CASA Tracker), the demographic information {if available in
the court pefition} is recorded. A report can be pulled for any time frame to show the numkaer of
children in the system, those assigned to a CASA and those waitlisted and the number of
volunteer advocates assigned for the time. The same report a(so indicates the breakdown of

the children served by gender, age, ethnicity and reason for being brought into the system (the
Welfare and Institutions code that identifies the specific type of abuse, neglect or abandonment).
13. How do you currenUy document income status of each client? (Exampie: very iow, low- and
moderate-income)'
We are only able to ascertain the information contained in the court petitions so it is
difficult to obtain the income status for the families the children have been removed from.
Children that come under the court's jurisdiction due to abuse and neglect are automatically
eligible for Medi-Cal services. Due to their poverty levels, approximately 95% or more of the
families who come under the juvenile court's jurisdiction qualify for panel attomeys.
According to the McKinney-Vento Act of 2001, the term "homeless children and youth"
includes children and youth who are "living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned
in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care placement." The importance of this legislation ensures
educational rights and protections for children and youth experiencing homelessness.

this project? Are these funds available now? If not, when will they be available? And from
what source(s)?
CASA wifl fund all administrative and operational costs associated with supporting one .25 full

would be used exclusively for direct services.
For funding, we reiy on grants at the state and Iocal level and from private foundations, in addition
to community based fundraising events. We are very proud of the fact that our community actively
supporEs CASA both monetarily (through donations) and through active volunteerism. During the past
fiscal year, our volunteer advocates donated more than 9,000 hours to their cases. This is an annual
value of approximately $163,000 (according to the Independent Sector) in time spent directly with/for the
children we serve. CASA receives grants from the Judicial Council ($55,400), Superior Court of
California ($50,000), SLO County ($24,000), SLO County Community Foundation ($10,000) and others
($122,677). In 2006, 237 children were served by 119 advocates (31% of the Dependency Court
population).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2. Title/name/address of proposed project or program: Construction of new office and maintenance
building for the Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo. This is proposed to be ]ocated at
860 Humbert Avenue in San Luis Obispo. The existing Facilities are inadequate, in that the current
maintenance�building is leased and in the waning years of its' useful life. The current office facilities
are inefficient and do not allow for expansion of use and programs. Even though HASLO is technically
a city agency, the nonprofit associated with us operates county-wide. Our services are provided out of
the current central location, but serve the whole county with the Housing Choice Voucher program and
the nonprofit has affordable units in Atascadero and Los Osos, as well as San Luis Obispo.
3. Please describe the proposed project or program. In one or two short paragraphs, include a
description of the groups «�ho ���ill benefit and an explanation of how they will benefit from the
proposed project or program. For projects, describe the ]ocation of the project (be as specific as
possible, e.g. street address). For programs, state the location from which the program will be operated
and/or describe the geographic area served by the program. Also, please include a schedule of
projecUprogram milestones.
The groups that will benefit would be seniors, disabled persons and families that are moderate to very
low income. We serve a cross section of incomes and age groups, in the areas of rental assistance to
private landlords, affordable rentals that are managed by HASLO, development and/or acquisition of
additional affordable housing, as well as coordination of homeownership and downpayment assistance
programs. The maintenance department oversees the maintenance of 168 pubiic housing units in the
city of San Luis Obispo and 336 other affordable units for our nonprofit associate that are in SLO,
Atascadero and Los Osos. Our office staff manages 1825 clients under the voucher program through
rental assistance county-wide, most of which are very low income. In addition to the inclusionary
housing eligibility determinations,homeownership programs, manage units for the City of SLO, etc.
Funds would be used to assist with the new construction of the building. The land is already acquired,
the space and needs analysis is complete and an RFP for azchitectural services will be completed in the
next 3 months. Since the property is adjacent to the homeownership site on Humbeit that we are
proposing, the tazget is to complete plans and submit to planning in conjunction with the same
construction timeframe as the other project. Aggressively, it is anticipated that construction could start
in early 2009. The CDBG funding would be utilized to augment other funding acquired for the
construction.

4. «'ill the services offered by ��our organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG
assistance? If yes, please answer the following questions:
a. What new programs and/or services will be provided?
The Housing Authority of the City of SLO is always aware of the critical need for affordable housing in this
county. We work aggressively to accomplish this and cooperate with many social service agencies to
achieve the optima] use of available units. Ultimately the services all relate to affordable housin�, but
we could offer financial management,counseling programs to prepare clients for inclusionary units as
they become available, explore the Neighborhood Services Programs for any funding that can augment
existing programs and continually seek alternatives that will enhance or expand our cunent venue.
The current office site could then be utilized for other social service programs. We have discussed options
with providers for this site to be child care or after school programs, or a site for mental health to
perform outreach and detox facilities.
b. Describe how existing programs and/or services will be expanded and what percentage of an
increase is expected?
The homeownership programs could be expanded to provide on-site classes and counseling in preparation
for homeownership. Our current facilities limit the number of persons that can attend any programs. Given
the desire of the county, San Luis Obispo and Atascadero to expand these opportunities, it would be
estimated that at minimum a 50% increase is anticipated.
In addition, our Learning Center provides for computer access to residents and participants to allow for
increased skills, tutoring and mentoring for the children and adults. It currently assists the children with
their homework and computer skills, and the parents with resume writing, computer skilis and tutoring.
5. Check auy of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project or
program: (Refer to CDBG regulations and the Guide to EliQible CDBG Activities).

6. Describe the need and t6e degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
VVhat would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
The urgency for new offices is critical, especially in the maintenance area. The current leased structure is
dilapidated at best, inefficient and will not last much longer. We would have no new location in which to
operate our maintenance structure if we do not construct on this site. The consequences would be dire. We
have been looking for several years for a new location and this site is perfect.
As the Housing Authority for this city and county, we previously have not had to request funding for
operations and/or facilities, but the timing and funding is critical to our continued success and expansion of
programs.

7. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-profit, for-protit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
The Housing Authority of the City of SLO is a public agency. We have constructed several new housing
projects, acquired and rehabilitated existing ones, operated programs and offered services to this county
for almost 40 years. Thus, staff has the expertise to follow-through on the planning, permitting and
construction of these facilities. As a public facility, all energy and social objectives would be utilized to
the fullest extent possible to ensure that this facility can continue to serve the residents of this county as
efficiently as possible. The energy efficiency of the building will be optimized to keep future operating
costs as ]ow as possible and meet or exceed the nationa] objective for public facilities.
The location of the proposed facility will allow for the greatest access to the residents and clients that we
serve, is also located on a bus route and within minutes to the city and county offices and other social
service agencies with which we partner. ,
NATIONAL OBJECTNES CRITERIA
8. Does the proposed project or activity meet one of the three national objectives of the
CDBG program? Please check one of t6e objectives below that applies to the
proposal, and explain how the project or activity meets that national objective.
a. X Benefits low- and moderate-income persons as defined by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

clientele or residents in a particular area of the County or participating city, at least 51
percent of who are low- and moderate-income persons.
b. Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
NOTE: To meet this national objective, the proposed activity must be within a designated
slum or blighted area and must be designed to address one or more conditions that
contributed to the deterioration of the area.

acquires new or existing projects, it is critical that our maintenance department be fully equipped to
handle the needs of the complexes. This will allow the ongoing high quality of maintenance and
services to the community that has been being provided for 39 years. 2008 is the 40`h anniversary of this
agency.

BENEFICIARY DATA
12. How do ��ou currently collect demographic data on the beneticiaries of the proposed project or
program? (Example: racial/ethnic characteristics)*
Since many of our programs are fund through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,
there are already existing requirements to collect data on beneficiaries of HASLO's programs. These
include income levels, race/ethnicity, age, whether they are homeless before being housed, whether they are
veterans and/or disabled or elderly, if they are participants of Family Self Sufficiency programs, whether
they become homeowners, etc. This is tracked on the computer programs designed specifically to meet
HUD's reporting requirements.
Other programs or housing developments that are non-HUD funded, use the same program as it is adaptable
to ,�roviding the same data no matter what the funding source. Homeownership administration and/or
programs are typically tracked via an exce] spreadsheet, so that the funding entity is provided ���ith the same
data by income group, family structure, ethnicity and purchase prices.
13. How do you currently document income status of each client? (Example: very low, low- and
moderate-income)*
Since HASLO has funding mandates, documentation is of the essence. Thus, each client has a separate file
containing verification of identity, resident status, veteran status via form DD214, third party
verification of incomes and assets, copies of rental agreements, homeownership documents, etc.
Because it is so effective in our HUD funded public housing and Housing Choice Voucher program, the
same methodology is utilized for homeownership certifications, with minor changes to add lender and
escrow documents, etc.
*NOTE: You are required to provide beneficiary data at the end of each quarter of the fiscal year if funds
are drawn.

16. How do you plan to fund the operation and maintenance costs (if any) associated with this
project? Are these funds available now? If not, when will they be available? And Trom what
source(s)?
Operating and maintenance costs are funded out of ongoing program subsidies and rental income. It is
anticipated that operating and maintenance costs will actually decrease with a more efficient structure.
The current office and maintenance buildings, as stated before, are inefficient due to age and it is
anticipated that these will decrease in a consolidated building, with energy efficient lighting, heating and
cooling. All landscaping would be native, so as to minimize water useage. The HUD funded programs
allow for operating costs through subsidies, rental income and reserves.
l7. Will CDBG funds be used to match/leverage other funds? List below funding sources and
amouuts and identify award dates of t6ese sources.
The Housing Authority has set aside some funds for the acquisition and construction of a new facility for
severa] years now. The acquisition cost of the property is $700,OOQ which will be paid from [hese reserves.
The construction is estimated at $300 per square foot, totaling $3,500,000 for 10,000 square feet. HASLO
would utilize a combination of grants for meeting energy standards, remaining reserve funds and a
conventional loan, that would also be paid for from ongoing operations and funding.
HASLO reserves for acquisition, soft costs and partial construction: $1,200,000
CDBG funding (2008) . 500,000
Conventional financing (2008) . 2,500,000

Under the new configuration of the SBDC, services will be offered in additional locations through out
the County.
Workshops will be held at our location on Broad Street, as well as various banks offer space throughout
the county, including but not limited to: Paso Robles, Templeton, San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, I
Nipomo, Los Osos. I
Consulting services will also be taken into the field as compared to the past where clients came to an I�
office in San Luis Obispo. On-site consulting has taken place in most communities on an as needed basis or I
as part of our agreement with communities that have contracted with the SBDC through CDBG funds. I
I
A percentage increase is difficult to determine, but with new requirements from the SBA and
seeking long term clients, it would be expected to see moderate increase of 10%.
5. Check any of the following eligible activity categories that apply to the proposed project or
program: (Refer to CDBG regulations and the Guide to Eligible CDBG Activities).
_ Acquisition of real property
_ Disposition of real property
_ Public facilities and improvements(may include acquisition, construction,

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
If the SBDC program does not received funding then this eight-year old program could disappear.
The SBDC has funding available to it from the federa] govemment, however, those funds can only be
accessed via cash match. By the fact that this program has already downsized with the loss of State Funds,
the loss of local funds would prove to be critical to the continuation of the program.

helped to bring an average of$I,000,000 each year into the economy of the county via loans, sales.increases
and equity injection.
7. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs,etc.):
Cuesta College has operated the SBDC for eight plus years. In its current set-up, there is a fulltime Director
of Operations for the SBDC, a full-time Program Services Specialist to operate the day to day activities of
the Center, and five specialized business consultants.
The director facilitates the program through partnerships and management of the program. The

NATIONAL OBJECTIVES CRTTERIA
8. Does the proposed project or activity meet one of the three natioual objectives of the
CDBG program? Please check one of the objectives below that applies to the
proposal, and ezplain how the project or activity meets that national objective.
a. X Benefits low- and moderate-income persons as defined by the U.S. Departrnent of
Housing and Urban Development(HiJD).
NOTE: To meet this national objective, the proposed activity must benefit a speciftc
clientele or residents in a particular area of the County or participating city, at least 5]
percent of who are low- and moderate-income persons.
The SBDC program supports individuals who are looking to improve their economic condition. The
County is one that depends on tourism, service industry, retail and agriculture for the majority of job
crearion. However, each of those industries foundation is entry leveUminimum wage jobs. Thus providing
an option for people to seek self-employment is critical to the economic well-being of the individual and the
county as a whole. Currently, only 11%of the population can pwchase a median priced home iu this
county. Also, there is approximately 5,000 homeless in the County and creating their own job may be the
only option for employment they have.
b. Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
NOTE: To meet this national objective,the proposed activity must be within a designated
slum or blighted area and must be designed to address one or more conditions that
contributed to the deterioration of the area.
c. X Meets community development needs having a particular utgency where existing conditions
pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and no other funding
sources are available.

NOTE: To meet this national objective, the proposed activity must deal �vith major
catastrophes or emergencies such as floods or earthquakes.
In 2006 and 2003, this Counry was hit with a Freeze Disaster and San Simeon Earthquake. The SBDC
provided a financial consultant to help businesses apply for SBA Disaster Loans. The SBDC consultant
also promoted the Earthquake Recovery Loan Fund that was sponsoied by four local banks. The
consultants packaged one loan through that loan fund.
Nationwide, the SBDC has helped small businesses get back on their feet during times of natural and
tercorism disasters.
9. If the project or program is designed to meet the national objective of providing benefit to low-
and moderate-income persons, please estimate the number of persons (or house6olds) to beuefit
from the project and break that estimate down by income group as follows:
a. Total number of persons or households who will benefit from the project o*
program (regardless of income group):
200 Persons/households(circle the applicable unit)
b. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
low-income (eaming 51%- 80%or less of the County median-income)?
60 Persons/households(circle the applicable unit)
c. Of the total number of persons or households entered above, how many will be
v� low-income(earning 50%or less of the County median-income)?
40 Persons/households (circle the applicable unit)
10.Who are the clients of your organization? (Example: low- to moderat�income persons, elderly
persons, severely disabled persons, migrant farm workers, battered spouses, etc.)
The SBDC program works with anyone who qualifies as a small business or potential small business.
(This is a requirement of SBDC contract with the SBA). Our history since 2000 shows that we work with
women, minoriries, low-to-moderate-income persons, veterans, young entrepreneurs, and people with
backgound in farm labor.
I1. How will the clients bene5t from this project?
The SBDC program is designed to help individuals determine if their business idea is feasible.
Normally, the client wanting to start a new business is taken through the Business Planning process. The
process gives them good information to make a go-no-go decision about starting a business. We do not
encourage people to leave their day jobs, if they have one, until they feel comfortable that their idea can
replace their current income.
The SBDC helps existing businesses with improving business operations, which can cut down on
expenses. Or it helps businesses with marketing strategies that can increase sales and revenues. In turn new
jobs for the community can be created. The SBDC also helps small businesses with loan packaging.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ��, KELLY HEFFERNON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PLOT PLAN REVIEW CASE NO. 06-009
TO REMOVE AN EXISTING RESIDENCE AND ACCESSORY
STRUCTURES AND CONSTRUCT A NEW RESIDENCE AND
GARAGE; APPLICANT — TONY JANOWICZ; LOCATION — 795
EAST CHERRY AVENUE
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution approving Plot Plan Review
Case No. 06-009.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are no financial impacts to the City with approval of this project.
BACKGROUND:
The original proposal was to remove an existing 811 square foot single-family residence
and accessory structures on the project site and construct a new 1,881 square foot
residence (the "replacement house") with garage and workshop further back on the
property. The Planning Commission considered that proposal on June 6, 2006,
December 5, 2006, January 16, 2007, and April 17, 2007 and adopted a Resolution
approving the project on June 9, 2007 (see Attachments 1-5 for Meeting Minutes).
On August 14, 2007, the City Council considered Plot Plan Review No. 06-009 on an
appeal and on a 4:1 vote, took tentative action to deny the project, without prejudice,
based on concerns regarding the size and design of the proposed residential structure
and its location in an agricultural buffer (see Attachment 6 for Meeting Minutes).
On September 11, 2007, the City Council considered a Resolution upholding an appeal
and denying Plot Plan Review No. 06-009. No action was taken and the item was
continued to the November 13, 2007 Council meeting to allow the applicant to return to
the Council with revisions addressing the concerns identified.
Based on Council and neighbor concerns, the applicant has revised the project to
reduce the square footage of the house from 1,881 to 1,600 square feet, and moved the
replacement'house further away from the neighboring property and from Lierly Lane to
allow greater separation from the neighbor's property and preserving their southern

view. The applicant has also changed the height of the rear fence separating the two
properties from six feet (6') to four feet (4'), per the neighbor's request.
This is considered a substantially revised project from what the Planning Commission
reviewed and approved. It should be noted that a more accurate survey revealed that
the existing house is 830 square feet, not 811 square feet, and determined that one of
the accessory structures serves as actual living space (270 square foot studio).
Therefore, total existing living space on the property is 1,100 square feet. A comparison
of submittals is shown in the table below.

ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are offered for Council's consideration:
- Adopt a Resolution approving Plot Plan Review Case No. 06-009;
- Modify the Resolution as appropriate and approve the project;
- Take tentative action to deny Plot Plan Review Case No. 06-009 and direct staff
to prepare a resolution for final action; or
- Provide other direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Zoning:
The land use designation of the subject property is Single Family Residential Medium
Density (SFR-MD). On October 23, 2007, the City Council adopted an Ordinance
amending the Zoning Map for the 12.77-acre Subarea 2 property, which includes the
project site, from Residential Rura1 (RR) to Single Family Residential (SF). The project
meets all Development Code requirements for the SF zoning district.
Historical Resources:
The subject property is not located within a historic district and is not a recorded historic
or pre-historic site. Included as Attachment B of the Initial Study is a letter from LSA
Associates, Inc. detailing their findings with regard to the historic resource component of
the subject property.

Agricu/tura/Buffer.•
The project property line is located roughly fifteen feet (15') from existing agricultural
operations. Given the size of the lot (14,586 square feet), all but the northern most
1,500 square feet of the property is located within the Agricultural Preservation Overlay
District (AG-2.2). The entire property lies within the agricultural buffer assuming a one
hundred thirty foot (130') wide buffer, as specified in the approved East Village
Neighborhood Plan (EVNP).
Per Development Code Section 16.12.170(E)(2), the buffer area shall be a minimum of
one hundred feet (100') wide, measured from the edge of the designated agricultural
district, and shall include a twenty-foot (20') wide �andscaped transition area. Almost all
of the property is located within the City-designated agricultural buffer. The project
includes a 35-foot wide landscape strip along the southern boundary, which is fifteen
feet (15') wider than what the Code requires.
Development Code Section 16.28.020(C) states that "The primary purpose of the AG-
2.2 overlay district is to provide for a mechanism to minimize potential conflicts between
agricultural and non-agricultural land uses. This district is to provide for an agricultural
buffer transitional area and requires that new development and changes in use require
discretionary approval in accordance with Section 16.12.170(E)." Development Code
Section 16.12.170(E)(1) defines "developmenY' as subdivisions of land, use permits,
and building permits for new residential units. A plot plan review is the discretionary
permit utilized to evaluate the proposed replacement house in the context of the
agricultural buffer.
Development Code Section 16.12.170(C) states that "the purposes of this section,
therefore, are to promote the general heath, safety, and welfare of the City; to preserve
and protect for exclusive agricultural use those lands zoned for agricultural use; to
support and encourage continued agricultural operations in the City; and to provide
public information regarding this section which outlines the inherent potential problems
associated with living, purchasing and/or residing adjacent to agricultural lands. These
potential problems include, but are not limited to the sounds, odors, dust and chemicals
that may accompany agricultural operations." In summary, the general purpose of the
buffer is to create distance (and screening) between residential uses and agricultural
uses to avoid negative economic impacts to the agricultural activities and to minimize
health, safety and general welfare impacts (i.e. chemicals, dust, noise, odors, etc.) for
neighboring residential uses.
It should be noted that the buffer, when applied to the subject property, is not a
prohibition on residential uses on the subject property. Development Code Section
16.12.170(E) indicates that "no new residential use shall be permitted within the buffer
area unless it is determined there would be no other economically viable use of the
property." In this case, the property is zoned for residential use, has historically had a
residential structure on the site, and there is no other economically viable use of the
property.

The Development Code does not specifically address the particular situation of
demolishing an existing house and rebuilding on the same site within the agricultural
buffer. Therefore, policy interpretation by City Council is necessary to consider this
project application. Staffs interpretation of the Development Code provisions is that the
project would not be precluded since it. increases both the existing buffer area and
landscaped screening, and preservation of the entire buffer cannot be achieved without
eliminating economically viable use of the property.
Given the zoning on the property, it is also important to note the existing situation
represents a non-conforming structure, not a non-conforming use. In most
circumstances, replacement of non-conforming uses or ,structures would only be
allowed if damaged or destroyed due to fire or natural disaster. The purpose is to
encourage future redevelopment of a site to transition structures to conforming ones.
For example, replacement of a commercial unit in a residential zone should be a
residential use. In this case, redevelopment of the site cannot conform to the buffer
requirements without eliminating all economically viable use of the property. Therefore,
staff believes the only feasible expectation is to increase the distance between the two
(2) uses and enhance the existing buffer at this location, thereby decreasing the non-
conformity.
Staffs opinion is that a 1,600 square foot house on a 14,586 square foot lot is not an
unreasonable use of the site. This is based on the fact that Council's direction during
deliberations of Development Code provisions regarding buffer requirements was to
allow reasonable expansion of existing structures within the buffer area. Therefore, a
modest increase in size to a replacement structure would appear to be consistent with
that direction.
Drainage:
The project site is relatively flat. Stormwater currently flows across the adjacent
property to the west towards the end of Myrtle Street. A preliminary grading and
drainage plan was prepared for the project site by William R. Dyer, which provides
drainage calculations and a drainage solution (see Attachment C of the Initial Study).
The proposed drainage solution is to retain stormwater on-site in a drainage basin
having a capacity of 1,175 cubic feet and depth of 1.5 feet. The proposed basin is
located within the 35-foot wide landscape strip.
Location of Structure:
The neighboring property owner has expressed concerns regarding the close proximity
of the proposed structure to her property. The location of the structure was proposed to
maximize the size of the buffer and landscaped area. However, the applicant has since
adjusted the location of the structure on the site per the neighbor's request.
Density Transfer.
There was some discussion at the Planning Commission regarding whether the full
agricultural buffer could be achieved through a density transfer to other property owned
by the applicant within Subarea 2. Density transfers are not currently provided for in the
q b _5
CITY COUNCIL
PPR 006-009
NOVEMBER 13,2007
PAGE 5
Development Code. Therefore, approval of a density transfer would require a
Development Code amendment, which would be possible only if the applicant was
voluntarily agreeable to the transfer, and would result in smaller lot sizes than currently
planned for Subarea 2. When approached regarding the potential for a density transfer,
the applicant expressed concerns regarding the lot sizes that would be created on his
other property under a density transfer proposal.
Roadway Improvements:
East Cherry Avenue is proposed to be widened from the existing 16 feet to 24 feet
along the property boundary from curb to curb. Right of way required is 25 feet without
sidewalk, or an additional 9 feet of right of way. With sidewalk, as conditioned, right of
way required would be 32 feet. The existing structure is 19.5 feet away from Dirt
Cherry, and would be 10.5 feet away from the right away with no sidewalk, less than the
required minimum street side yard setback of 15 feet. With sidewalk, the existing
structure would be roughly four feet from the edge of right of way. A 6-foot wide Public
Utility Easement (PUE) beyond the right of way for utility conduits and boxes behind the
curb would also be required on the north side.
The Lierly Lane easement adjacent to the project site, which is partly owned by the
applicant, is currently 8 feet wide. An additional 13 feet is necessary to improve the
private street to 21 feet wide, including curb and gutter but no sidewalk. A 6-foot wide
PUE beyond the right of way for utility conduits and boxes behind the curb would be
required on the western side of the private street. The existing structure is setback 8
feet from the proposed right of way, which is 17 feet less than the required front yard
setback of 25 feet. �
Conditions of Approval:
Staff has prepared a Resolution with draft conditions of approval for the Council's
consideration (see Exhibit "A" of the attached Resolution). The project is subject to the
SF zoning requirements, and is conditioned to improve East Cherry Avenue to City
standards (including curb, gutter and sidewalk) and widen Lierly Lane along the
property boundary (curb and gutter). To ensure that landscaping within the agricultural
buffer is developed and maintained, the following mitigation measures have been
included in the conditions of approval:
MM 2.2: The applicant shall submit a �na/landscape plan for the agricultural
buffer, prepared by an environmenta/ specialist or professional biologist familiar
wifh agricultural buffers, to be reviewed and approved by the Community
Development Department and the Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department to
ensure that the plant selection provides effective and appropriate screening with
fast growing evergreen trees and shrubs. The final landscape p/an shall be
consistent with the "Landscape Ag Buffer P/an"prepared by Firma for the project
site, dated January 29, 2007. The final landscape plan shall include additional
species other than Bottlebrush.

MM 2.3: A deed restriction shal/be placed on the property indicating that the
property owner(s) shall maintain fhe /andscape buffer and that planfs shall not be
removed unless diseased or dead. If any plants are removed, they shall be
rep/aced in kind.
ADVANTAGES: �
The following are positive aspects of the project with respect to the goals and policies of
the City:
• The project will increase the existing buffer area between structures and the
adjacent agricultural property by 35 feet.
• The project will provide increased landscaped screening between the structures
and the adjacent agricultural property.
• Relocating the residential structure further back on the lot and providing necessary
right-of-way would provide an opportunity to widen East Cherry Avenue and Lierly
Lane.
• Redevelopment of the site will improve the overall appearance of the property and
neighborhood.
• The proposed replacement house is 281 square feet smaller than the original
submittal, and therefore closer to the existing square footage of living space on the
site.
• As revised, the replacement house is located further away from the adjacent
residence to the north, yet maintains the same distance from agricultural
operations. The revised project also allows an improved view of the agricultural
land for the neighboring property.
DISADVANTAGES:
• Although the proposed replacement house is smaller than the previous submittal, it
still is 500 square feet larger than the existing square footage of living space on the
site. The increase in living space may intensify the use and occupancy within the
agricultural buffer.
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 finds that this project will not have a
significant effect on the environment. Therefore, staff has prepared a negative
declaration with mitigation measures for the City Council's consideration (see Initial
Study, Attachment 7).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
A public hearing notice was sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the proposed
project and was published in the Tribune on Friday, November 2, 2007. Included as
Attachment 8 are letters received since December of last year.

• Subarea 2 borders the creek to the north and east, the Caldwell trust, and has an
ag buffer. He disagrees with Ms. Scot-Graham's argument that high density
would save ag land here, because in this location iYs a threat to ag and the
creek.
• He also disagrees that high density will make homes more affordable. That
would be true in other areas, but wouldn't be a large factor here.
• He's always felt that it makes good sense to do transitional zoning. He doesn't
agree that variety inside a border constitutes that. There should be more density
on one side and lower density toward the ag land and creek to diminish those
threats.
• Three of five Councilmembers requested Commissioners to consider RS zoning,
but that hasn't been done tonight, and it needs further study. "No City shall
reduce the residential density to any parcel unless the City makes certain
findings." Staff needs to consider it and he's in favor of RS zoning at this point.
His uncertainty is if staff can suggest the finding there's no net loss of housing
capacity. He needs more information before voting.
• People would consider higher density as an entitlement, and zoning is the only
way to guarantee that iYs lower.
Commissioner Brown made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Tait, to continue
Development Code Amendment Case No. 06-004 for further analysis, not particularly to
RS or Low-Medium density zoning, but based on the question of whether lower density
can be considered based on the Housing Element; also, staff shall come forth in writing
with a description of how environmental constraints would be the same or different in
Subarea 2 as in Subarea 1 (because there may be more constraints in Subarea 2,
thereby justifying transitional zoning).

regarding cultural resources survey; handling asbestos during demolition; the ag buffer
as the "mechanism to minimize potential conflicts between agricultural and non-

The motion was approved on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners Brown, Parker, Ray, Tait, and Chair Fellows
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Motion approved on 5/0 roll call vote.
Chair Fellows opened the public hearing for public comment.
Tony Janowicz, 445 Lierly Lane, spoke in support of the project and shared a letter of
support signed by his neighbors. Moving the house further away from the ag land and
helping with the roads will vastly improve the area, and he's willing to listen to
Commission ideas. He answered Commission questions regarding the driveway
coming off Lierly Lane instead of E. Cherry Ave., landscaping near the ag land, and
deed restricting the house to single story.
Damien Mavis, Subarea 1 co-owner, noted if the house burned down there wouldn't be
conditions added. IYs the same use, so it shouldn't trigger review (residential use to
residential use). There's two feasible economic alternatives — an old house or a new
one (not left vacant). The new one makes the existing condition better. Immediate
neighbors are in favor of the project. Also, it solves a critical circulation issue by
providing right of way. He's in full support of the project as a good planning move.
Colleen Martin, 855 Olive, spoke on behalf of her mother who lives in the house
adjacent to this one. She requested a condition for all demolition to be complete before
issuing a building permit for the new structure. Also, she requested that there not be
construction on Sundays to have a day off from dust and noise. Other than that they
support the project. They don't want a wall in the ag buffer. They don't want the view of
row crops impaired by a wall, hedge, or landscape buffer, which would cause a loss of
ag land view that she loves. By removing the home, she has a better ag view.

Steve Ross, 211 Garden Street, spoke in support of the project. The City code for the
ag buffer is 100'. For Subarea 1 it was conditioned at 130', but not Subarea 2. 130' on
Subarea 2 would effect a taking, which was not desired. As far as development or
subdivision, the intent of the rule was subdivisions (changing a lot description or adding
more buildings), which would require discretionary review. Remodeling was supposed
to not add living space closer to the ag land if a property is within the ag buffer. This,
though not a remodel, improves that situation by moving it farther from the ag land. All
these things are what we want to happen. IYs best for this property and for future use
on E. Cherry Ave.
Chair Fellows closed the public hearing for public comment.
Commission comments on the project:
Tait:
. The applicant seems to be doing the best he can with what he's got. He won't
block the Titus' view. He's moving the house away from the ag land and making
the situation better.
• He agrees that the "use" doesn't change, but the structure is new. General Plan
Ag5-2.2 says "No portion of any new residential structure ... shall be closer than
100' from the site of agricultural operations ...."
• Code section 16.12.170-E.4 says "No new residential use shall be permitted
within the buffer area unless it is determined there would be no other
economically viable use of the property." How do we determine the economically
viable uses of the property?
. There were no findings to go by on this Plot Plan Review.
• There should be a condition regarding cultural resources, since there may be
other historical buildings within 1/8 mile radius.
Parker:
. This is a legal non-conforming use, so she doesn't dispute the right to rebuild a
duplicate structure on a duplicate footprint, but this isn't the same thing. IYs
double the size in a new location.
• She doesn't believe that implementing the buffer policy is a taking. Other similar
things have been done for public health and safety, and the right to farm.
. Since this is a new structure in a new location, impacts need to be taken into
consideration, as well as conditions of approval and mitigation measures.
• She wants to review plans for proximity and impact on both neighbors. ThaYs
not to say it can't be built, but neither can the planning standards be ignored just
for the benefit of wider roads. It needs to be done in the right way.
• The roads assistance and the move away from the ag land are two good points.
The negative is that it increases density by doubling the house, so more humans
and animals are exposed to the farming area.
. Two important considerations are: 1) Can a buffer region be set up to block
harmful dust, noise, and other impacts to the new building; and 2) how far back
can it be built without affecting the adjacent neighbor?

Brown:
• He believes the City Attorney would agree that the new structure is different than
just rebuilding a duplicate legal non-conforming use, and would like this to be
flushed out by staff.
• If the home were deed restricted to single story, because of buffer issues, he
would probably vote in the affirmative.
. Plans, findings and a resolution need to be presented to Commissioners for
review at another meeting. They can't approve or deny the project without them.
Ray:
. Her first reaction was to approve it for the road provisions.
. She struggled with the General Plan and Development Code, so she had to go to
common sense planning. He can't just be left with a 15' sliver of land to build on
—that would be a taking, so that settles that issue.
. She agrees there needs to be findings for Commissioners to approve.
• She suggests flipping the plans so the access is on Lierly Lane and there's no
hole in the ag buffer as part of a compromise.
• There does need to be good landscaping in the buffer.
. Window placement needs to be checked.
• She would be ready to approve it with findings and the plans flipped.
Fellows:
. He's felt for a long time that the General Plan ag buffer policy is insufficient, but
that will need to be changed another night.
. The purpose is to protect residents of the new house, their adjacent neighbors
and the farmer. Ag land can't be preserved without giving farmers some
protections.
• The City Attorney would probably say they can't take away the owner's right to
build a replacement residence, so it probably can't be conditioned that the entire
lot be just buffer.
• The proposal can probably be approved with certain changes:

the foregoing Resolution was adopted this 16`" day of January 2007.
Mr. Strong recused himself from the meeting due to a potential conflict of interest on
Public Hearing items II.A. & II.B. He thanked Commissioner's Parker and Brown for
their service to the City.
A. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: PLOT PLAN REVIEW CASE NO. 06-009;
APPLICANT —TONY JANOWICZ; LOCATION — 795 E. CHERRY STREET
Associate Planner, Kelly Heffernon, presented the staff report for the continued
consideration of a proposal to demolish an existing house and accessory structures on
the subject property, and construct a new home and garage further back on the legally,
non-conforming lot in the Residential Rural zoning district and Ag-Buffer Overlay district.
The Planning Commission previously considered this project at their December 5, 2006
meeting, but continued the item pending consideration of the following:
• A Resolution outlining findings and conditions of approval.
. Move the access driveway from East Cherry Avenue to Lierly Lane.
• Provide a landscape plan and building elevations.
• Push the residence as far back from the agricultural property as the zoning will
allow.
. Show active yard areas to the west and north portion of the property.
Ms. Heffernon then read additional revised conditions of approval for the project based
on review and comment by the City Attorney.
In conclusion, Ms. Heffernon explained that because the project involved a proposed
road dedication and condemnation of a portion of "Dirt Cherry", the City Council must
make the final decision on the project.
Staff answered Commission questions for clarification on information contained in the
staff report.
Vice Chair Brown opened the public hearing for public comment.
Mark Vasquez, representative, stated his concerns that many of the conditions of
approval placed on this Plot Plan Review may be inappropriate and were related more
to a subdivision and they should be related specifically to Ag Buffer Overlay; conditions
requiring dedication should be included, but conditions for improvements are premature
(especially as utilities would have to be removed); he agreed that a proportional share
should be paid for future improvements. He then addressed the specific conditions that
he considered inappropriate or that should be amended.
Tony Janowicz, property owner, thanked Commissioner's Parker and Brown for their
years of service to the City and stated he had no comment at this time.
Steve Ross, 211 Garden Street, expressed concern with the way this project was being
considered and stated that it should not trigger the same conditions as a larger

development would. He asked if this property was being singled out and stated that if a
house were to be built on East Cherry near Traffic Way next to an ag overlay, the City
would not require undergrounding of utilities - this is not a dedicated City street and an
individual owner should not be required to do this.
Colleen Martin stated that utilities and sidewalks had been required for other similar
projects, although some of the conditions did seem premature because Sub-area 2 may
be rezoned. Regarding onsite drainage, there had been no discussion on the incredible
increase in impermeable surfaces that this project would cause. East Cherry should be
32-feet wide to allow parking (parking is needed on either East Cherry or Lierly Lane).
The City requirements for improvements are reasonable; Mr. Janowicz is the sole owner
of Lierly Lane.
Kristen Barneich, Canyon Way, member of the Tree Guild, stated that the landscaping
should be looked at by an expert landscape architect before the Ag buffer is put in
place; two trees are proposed f�onting the residence, but there should be trees every
20-25 feet apart (approx. 6 trees total) such as Brisbane Box, Redwoods, Canary Pines
— trees that grow taller and faster; information should be in place and signs posted to
inform future owners that the Ag buffer cannot be altered.
Ruel Estes, property owner next to the Janowicz property, stated sidewalks are not
always required in front of new houses; Mr. Janowicz should not have to do all these
improvements now; he'd like to see the area kept rural and the roadway narrow to slow
traffic down; an ag overlay will only aggravate people and not accomplish anything.
Vice Chair Brown closed the public hearing for public comment.
7:50 a.m.
The Commission took a 10-minute break.
Commission comments:
Ray:
. After further review and consideration of the new information received since the
last Commission meeting she felt the same about the project.
• Agreed with Mr. Vasquez that this project is not a subdivision; they should not
have to do typical requirements such as curb, gutter, undergrounding etc.
. To require East Cherry and Lierly Lane to be improved now is way too
premature.
. A street tree easement will allow trees to be added in the future to help maintain
the Ag buffer.
• The sidewalk should be required to connect to where the sidewalk is coming in
from Sub-area 1, as this will be a transitional area; sidewalk should be required
on the E. Cherry side (curb, gutter and sidewalks should not be required on
Lierly Lane).

• Agrees with others that the landscape plan should be looked at by an expert
landscape architect.
• All conditions for future improvements should have language that requires a
proportional share payment (in-lieu fees).
Parker:
• Considers this proposal the same as a new home in an Ag buffer, but building
the residence further back and the reasoning that building a larger house will give
people more space to be indoors - she could agree with this.
• Future owners need to be made aware that they are purchasing property in an
Ag buffer zone and of the right-to farm; the Ag buffer should be looked at by an
expert landscape architect; re the street trees, she would rather see more effort
put into an Ag buffer plan (more trees included); a requirement for a 130-foot
buffer should be made specific.
• All demolition should be complete before grading is approved.
• Due to the potential increase in impervious surfaces, drainage plans are critical,
must be approved by the City, and language added to reflect that when drainage
plans for the rest of the neighbors are prepared this project should be
conditioned to be included.
• Conditions of approval throughout the resolution should reflect that this project
must be responsible for a proportional share of all future improvements.
• Even with a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), allowing a building in the Ag
buffer zone does not necessarily mean it will be mitigated; she could not support
the Resolution as it is now— it needs more mitigation to lessen the impacts.
Brown:
• He could not make the necessary findings required to approve the Plot Plan
Review, specifically finding No. 2 and maybe No. 3.
. He wouid like to review this project from an Ag buffer perspective; not to consider
what Sub Area 1 went through for approval would be clearly inequitable; he does
not understand why this was put forward for review before Sub-area 2 as this
project is clearly part of that.
• This is a precedent setting project and he cannot support the current Resolution.
. The Ag buffer plan and the drainage issue need to be addressed.
• He suggested that it go forvvard to City Council with the Commission's
recommendations and let them decide whether it should come back to them or
not.
Commission Parker did not agree with Vice Chair Brown; after further discussion he
recommended that the project come back to the Planning Commission with a MND, an
Ag buffer landscape plan, and a drainage plan for their approval before going fonvard to
City Council.
Commissioner Ray stated that the Commission had already considered the issues and
suggested that they recommend approval of the project to City Council with a request
that the MND, an Ag buffer plan, and a drainage plan, be considered by City Council.

Vice Chair Brown again stated that to ask anything less than what Sub area 1 required
would be wrong; a MND should be prepared for Commission review for this project.
Commissioner Parker made a motion, seconded by Vice Chair Brown, to continue
consideration of the project to a date uncertain, and request that a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, a drainage plan, and a Ag buffer plan, prepared by a design landscape
architect, be brought forvvard to the Commission.
Discussion:
Commissioner Ray stated that she was having difficulty with requiring a MND, as that
would be adding time to a process that the Commission had already dealt with on this
project. The reason she requested a MND was to maintain clarity on the City's position,
the process itself regarding the Ag buffer and why Janowicz was allowed to build within
the buffer, so there would be no ambiguity with sub-area 2.
Vice Chair Brown stated environmental impacts are determined by CEQA and
governing bodies; any decision made on this project would be precedent setting for
Sub-area 2.

A. PLOT PLAN REVIEW CASE NO. 06-009, APPLICANT — TONY JANOWICZ,
LOCATION — 795 CHERRY STREET
Associate Planner, Kelly Heffernon presented the staff report for consideration of a
proposal to demolish an existing residence and accessory structures, and construct a
new residence and garage. The applicant has addressed Planning Commission
requests from the previous meetings of December 5, 2006 and January 16, 2007. She
described the changes, including historical significance, agricultural buffer, road
easement dedications, and drainage. Condition 48 has been changed to read, "The
applicant shall retain all increased stormwater on-site", and condition 46 has been deleted
because it duplicates condition 33.
Staff answered questions from the Commission for clarification on: a recommendation
from the County Agricultural Commissioner on the ag buffer, the reference to code
regarding eminent domain, condition 33 and the process of sewer line installation,
landscaping consistency with Cherry Creek (as shown on Exhibit B-2) and need (or lack
thereof) for screening if this project is developed before installation of Cherry Creek
landscape screening, McClanahan and Dixson's request for the 6' tall no-climb fence,
initial study correction of 54' from ag land, necessity (or lack thereof) for additional
septic system capacity, the meaning of MM 12.1 and 12.2 initial study language
"bonding for street improvements", 35' wide landscape buffer, possible function of an
assessment district for the buffer, removal of existing house prior to construction of the
replacement house, no requirement for ARC review before City Council review,
acceptance of Neighborhood Plan for both subareas 1 and 2, location of Mrs. Titus'
house from the proposed house, the meaning of the staff report reference to
"replacement house", transferring density credits from this parcel to Janowicz's other
property located further back on Lierly Lane, continuation of the sidewalk to Lierly Lane
and proximity to the no-climb fen'ce, drainage and installation of the sidewalk.

Mark Vasquez, applicanYs representative, agreed with Planning Commission conditions
as previously requested. He answered Commissioner questions with regard to
transferring density to Mr. Janowicz's other property and how that relates to the
proposed minimum lot size of 8,000 sf within subarea 2, square footage of each house,
plant selection for the ag buffer now that David Foote has been hired, lack of water most
of the time in the shallow drainage basin, capacity in a large storm, plant size, and
drainage to accommodate future sidewalk installation. The house placement and size is
as far away from the Ag property as possible, while still allowing for active outdoor
areas, but it mostly allows living space inside rather than outside.
David Foote, Landscape Architect, answered Commissioner questions in regards to the
buffer, plant size, plant selection based on average homeowner habits, tree selection
and size vs. rate of growth, timing to mature screening, placement of plants near
shallow drainage basin, reasoning for choosing Bottlebrush and acceptance of
Evergreen Pearinstead.
Lvnn Titus, 404 Lierlv Lane, expressed concern and opposition against a block wall
fence extending from the Cherry Creek project and/or in the ag buffer. She noted that
from past history, drainage shouldn't be an issue in this location.
Damien Mavis, Cherry Creek developer, spoke in support of this project, noting the
infrastructure benefits, good integration with subarea 1, mitigation of development
issues for subarea 2, benefits of the house being farther from the farm, and house size
similarity to his adjacent project.
Ruel Estes, 811 E. CherN, spoke in support of the project. However, the Cherry
extension should be 24' wide and there shouldn't be a sidewalk, in order to maintain the
rural character of the area. There's not a drainage problem now and his next-door
property isn't clay — iYs sandy loam. He agreed with Mrs. Titus' comments on the house
size and need to locate it with adequate distance in-between. The ag buffer will only
protect the farmer, because people will still be exposed on the road. Commissioners
should leave the planning to City staff and not micromanage lesser issues like tree and
plant selection, which is a waste of tax dollars.
TonV Janowicz, 447 Lierlv Lane, (applicant), discussed the project history for new
Commissioners, including the benefits of road improvement for fire and life safety
issues. He answered Commissioner questions regarding awareness of ag buffer
guidelines prior to purchase, transferring density to his other parcel, and not having a
block wall in the plans for his project.
Chair Ray closed the public hearing for public comment.
Commission comments and questions:
Barneich:
. Her reasoning for discussing plant selection is due to her background and
concern for neighbors, so they're not looking at dead trees most of the year.
�I� '3`�
PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 4

APRIL 17, 2007
. She's concerned about property owner maintenance of ag buffer landscaping,
especially after time passes. It may need to fall with the City instead.
• This plan is better than others, since it moved the house further from ag land, but
the house is too large and the intensity of the site is too much.
• She could approve the project with either a density transfer or decreased square
footage of the house (1200 sf), for several reasons.
o The house repiacement should be with something more comparable with
the existing house (1200 sf is more affordable to rent or own).
o A smaller house would better preserve Mrs. Titus' view.
o A smaller house would be a less intense use of the home, because with
more square footage, there will be additional occupants.
Keen:
. What are the undergrounding requirements? Mr. Devens replied that it would
just be the service drops to the house. The adjacent subarea 1 is
undergrounding fhe utilities on the opposite side of dirt Cherry.
o Will the poles behind this property be undergrounded? Mr. Devens replied
fhat he believes those po/es serve the Peterson house in phase 1 and
would have to go underground.
. With the number of times this has been massaged, iYs become a very good
project for the property, particularly the Cherry improvements and location in
order to extend the buffer.
. It wouldn't be logical consideration to plant the buffer and have to wait 5 years for
a building permit, because that would be a taking. There are people living in the
existing house with no buffer, so there's no reason that with education and
information new occupants couldn't move in without the buffer being fully mature.
. The basin is just for runoff for this property. Does it take care of the street runoff
or will that flow to subarea 1? Mr. Devens replied that will flow to subarea 1.
Tait:
• He had problems making finding of approval #2. The new mitigation measures
help, but the ag buffer is supposed to help ensure public health and safety, so he
still has some doubts.
• Council should consider a density transfer, because this may be a precedent
setting item.
. This is a new residential unit - not just a replacement house. It requires demo
and building permits, so iYs subject to ag buffer regulations that there be no new
construction unless there's no other economically viable use of the property. He
doesn't see another economically viable use, except for the density transfer.
. The ag buffer extension will do well and is consistent with the Firma program.
• 35' may be sufficient once plants are mature as deemed sufficient in size by a
biological expert, and only then would it be safe for residents to move in.
. He appreciated mitigation measures 8.1 and 8.2 regarding noise.
. The no-climb fence on the ag side is a good idea to help reduce impacts.
Marshall:
. He's fascinated that the project is this complex. Replacing a SFR on an existing
SFR lot should be ministerial in many ways, but he understands the need for

additional processing due to the unique location. The key is the size of the
parcel vs. the buffer, but the point of the ag buffer is to minimize (not eliminate
all) potential conflicts. This plan does what is reasonable for this parcel to
minimize those potential conflicts as much as possible.
• The house size is reasonable for the lot and comparable to neighboring houses.
• He liked the density transfer idea, but appreciated that iYs already been explored
and doesn't work in this case.
Ray:
• She felt the applicant made all the previously requested changes to the ag buffer
and no additional comments were needed.
. The density transfer idea is intriguing, but probably won't work here, since
Council wants it rural and neighbors don't want cluster development with smaller
lot sizes. �
• Change the drainage plan to reflect the sidewalk requirement, add the extension
of the no-ciimb fence, and replace Bottlebrush with Evergreen Pear.
Commissioner Marshall made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Keen, to approve
Plot Plan Review Case No. 06-009 with the following modifications:
• Delete condition 46.
• Modify condition 48 as referenced by staff.
• Extend the no-climb fence along the south side of the improved East Cherry
Avenue and the permanent Agricultural Preserve to Lierly Lane.
. Redesign the drainage basin to accommodate the sidewalk extension.
• Staff shall check the eminent domain reference.
• Replace the Bottlebrush with Evergreen Pears.
After discussion, the last condition was modified by Commissioners Marshall and

Associate Planner, Kelly Heffernon, presented the staff report for consideration of a
proposal to remove an existing house and accessory structures and to construct a new
home and garage further back on the lot. The project was reviewed at four prior
Planning Commission meetings; at the last meeting on April 17, 2007, the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the project to City Council. However, it was

In summary, Ms. Heffernon stated that issues involving acquisition of portions of "Dirt
Cherry" are being handled separately from the project; the project will improve the
current situation since the residence is proposed to be located further away from the
adjacent agricultural operations; it will provide an opportunity to widen both East Cherry
Avenue and Lierly Lane (which would not possible with the residence in its current
configuration) and the new structure meets all Development Code requirements for the
Residential Rural zoning district. In conclusion, Ms. Heffernon recommended the
Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving the project or choose one of the
suggested alternatives provided in the staff report.
Commissioner Barneich asked why the project was being considered before the
Neighborhood Plan for this area had been approved by City Council? Ms. Heffernon
explained that this was a legal lot that should be considered by itself; approval of the
Neighborhood Plan would not impose anything different on this project.
The Commission had no further questions.
Chair Ray opened the public hearing for public comment.
Mark Vasquez, representative for the applicant, had no comment, but offered to answer
any questions the Commission had.
The Commission had no questions.
Nora Looney, 444 Lierly Lane, stated that the property is currently a shack and an

this home with a new home and in the best location; she urged the Commission to
approve the project.
Tony Janowicz, 795 Cherry Avenue, ownerlapplicant, thanked the Commission for their
consideration and asked the Commission for their approval of the project.
Chair Ray closed the public hearing for public comment.
Commission comments:
Barneich:
• The density transfer for this projecl should be pursued; she urged the
Commission, City, and applicant to think "outside the box" in consideration of this
proposal; it is an opportunity to implement the City's General Plan Ag policy; all
the options have not been considered and the Ag buffer policy is too important to
the community not to do so; she believed the City Council would be open to the
idea of the density transfer; the Neighborhood Plan needs to be approved by City
Council before the project is further considered; given the choice of a larger
house in the middle of a small Ag buffer or an extra house in the area behind the

Janowicz home, coupled with a real complete Ag buffer the decision is an easy
one; therefore, denying the Plot Plan Review is the only action she could support.
Keen:
. The Planning Commission has reviewed this proposal several times and
recommended approval to City Council.
• He is ready to support the project.
Marshall:
. it is more than a year since the Commission first considered this project and he
commends everyone involved for their perseverance.
• He agrees with Commissioner Keen - his concerns have been adequately
addressed.
• He is ready to support the project.
Ray:
• The Ag buffer issue has been dealt with.
• She likes the density transfer idea, but at the last meeting believed they had
been given some direction from Council regarding Sub area 2; the issue of the
density transfer had been discussed, but they had not received any comment
from Council since the last meeting; this is not a sub division, so we do not have
the same latitude to hold this property to that standard. -
• Nothing has changed since the last hearing and all modifications the Commission
asked for have been included; therefore she approves this project as proposed.
Barneich:
. The density transfer has not been investigated at all; staff needs to bring this
forward and it may work and might be a better idea.
Chair Ray stated that if this is the case then it can be appealed and Council can discuss
this.
Chair Ray requested that Conditions of approval 13 and 14 should match Conditions of

V. DISCUSSION ITEMS:

Retaining WaIl/Fence Height; Brisco Road PUD, Phase II - Staff Report — Ryan
Foster.
Acting Director, Heffernon, presented the staff report explaining that after review of the
improvement plans for the Brisco Road PUD, Phase II, located at 189 Brisco Road, it
was discovered that due to grade differences between the project site and the adjacent
property (San Luis Ambulance), the required retaining wall will have a finish height of
11' above grade with a 6' fence, for an overall height of 17 feet. This is an increase of
2.8' above what was shown on the tentative plans. It should be noted that normally,
issues such as this are addressed by offsetting the fence from the face of the retaining
wall; however in this instance that solution would effectively reduce the size of already
small backyards. Staff conducted a site visit of the project site and based on the
location of the highest point of the wall at the rear of the project, determined that the
increase in retaining wall height does not constitute a significant change to the approved
project due to the topographical constraints of the site and the limited visibility of the
finished wall/fence combination from public rights of way.
In reply to a question from Commissioner Keen, Mr. Devens explained that it is only a 2'
5" increase over the original approved wall height. Chair Ray stated that she saw no
problem with the proposed height as it was for safety reasons.
After further discussion the Commission agreed that the height was acceptable, but they
would prefer to see the wall have some textural finish or vines to soften it. Mr. Devens
stated that he believed that the wall was proposed to be split-faced block. The
Commission had no further comments.

9.b. Consideration of an Appeal of Planning Commission's Approval of Plot Plan Review
� Case No. 06-009; Applicant-Tony Janowicz; Location -795 East Cherry Avenue.
Associate Planner Heffernon presented the staff report and recommended the Council adopt a
Resolution upholding the Planning Commission's approval of Plot Plan Review Case No. 06-009.
She also distributed a letter to the Council which was just received from the applicant's attorney,
Glen R. Lewis (on file in the Administrative Services Department). Staff then responded to
questions from Council concerning setback requirements; reasons for designating Lierly Lane as
a rural residential street; constraints on the property; and clarification regarding existing structures
on the property. -
Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing.
Mark Vasouez, representing the applicant, Tony Janowicz, agreed with most of the conditions set
forth in the staff report; acknowledged the constraints on the property; referred to condition #47
and noted the applicant cannot grant a 6 ft. public utility easement on the easterly side of Lierly
Lane because he does not own thaY portion of the road, and requested the condition be reworded
to require a 6 ft. public utility easement on the westeriy side of Lierly Lane only; requested that
mitigation measure 12.1 be modified to be consistent with condition #47; and explained that the
proposal is to retain the existing residential use on the site with a new structure in a location to
benefit the City, the property owner, and the neighborhood. He then gave an overview of the
proposed project and its benefits to the City, the neighborhood as it relates to the Neighborhood �
Plan, the farmers, and the applicant. He requested the Council consider and approve the project
as proposed.
Tonv Janowicz, project applicant, spoke in support of the project as proposed.
Nora Loonev, Lierly Lane, spoke in support of approving the project as proposed, noting that the
existing residence is a tear-down; the size of the proposed house should not be reduced; and the
project would improve the area as well as improve access to Subarea 2.
Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing.
Council Member Guthrie provided the following comments:
- He sought an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision due to three important policy
issues that Council should consider; 1) impact of the proposed project on the Neighborhood
Plan, 2) the agricultural buffer, and 3) the significant change of an existing structure inside the
buffer;
- Expressed concern that an increase in intensity of use impacts the purpose and effectiveness
of the buffer;
� � -��
Minutes:City Council Meeting Page 5
Tuesday,August 14, 2007
- Would have preferred creation of the agricultural buffer prior to any consideration of specific
projects;
- Supports active and ongoing maintenance of the landscape buffer;
- Concerned about replacement of a home within the buffer and its increase in size;
- Would like to see a reduction in the size of the house;
- Would like to see the use of two-stories in order to increase square footage and adding useful
, outside space.
Council Member Costello provided the following comments:
- Prefers that there are no residential structures within the agricultural buffer zone; however, he
acknowledged that residential use is appropriate in a residential zone;
- Acknowledged that the existing: residence is a non-conforming structure due to its location
within an agricultural buffer, and could support an appropriate structure on the property that
sits back as far as possible from the street and the agricultural operations;
- Can reluctantly support this residential project.
Council Member Fellows provided the foilowing comments:
- Expressed concern for the public health and safety associated with the buffer and protecting
the farmer's right to farm;
- Referred to the agricultural buffer policy and stated he could not support approval of the
proposed project;
- Expressed concern that proposed residence is 130% larger than the existing residence;
- Cannot support a new, larger home that is within the buffer area;
- Suggested that the City, the owners of the adjacent farmland, and the applicants would benefit
from looking into alternatives to the proposal such as a density transfer, or at least not
intensifying the use of the parcel to such a great extent;
- Would support continuing the item to a date uncertain to determine if a density transfer would
be possible.
Mayor Pro Tem Arnold provided the following comments:
- Reflected on past discussion when he was on the Planning Commission concerning the
agricultural buffer and its potential impact on existing residences that were located within the
buffer zone as it relates to future expansion;
- Noted that there is no other reasonable use for the property than residential;
- Believed that this was a reasonable application and a reasonable size home; did not believe a
two-story home would be more beneficial and would be more of an impact to the neighboring
residence;
- Stated the project meets the minimum setback of ten feet; ,
- Stated the project would improve the neighborhood; the applicant is willing to provide and
maintain the agricultural buffer;
- Said it was unfair to require the applicant to build a new 800 square foot home;
- Does not see this as having any negative impact on the agriculturai buffer issue in regard to
future subdivisions;
- Can support the project as proposed with the exception of the one condition relating to the six-
foot pubiic utility easement on the westerly side.

Minutes:City Council Meeting Page 6
Tuesday,August 14, 2007
Mayor Ferrara provided the following comments:
- Noted that the decision is precedent setting;
- Need to evaluate what the overall goal is as it relates to the agricultural buffer policy;
- Wants to limit development and activity in the buffer area;
- Spoke about correlation between economic viability and a non-conforming structure;
- Noted that the agricultural buffer policy was in place prior to transfer of ownership of the
property to the applicant; therefore, he expressed concerns with the proposed development as
it relates to location and size;
- Noted that widening of E. Cherry would occur prior to any improvements in Subarea 2;
- Stated that a smaller structure and more landscaping will provide a better balance;
- Supports taking tentative action to deny the project without prejudice in order to go back and
take another look at the site, the size of the structure, the additional parking requirement, and
being more mindful of the agricultural impacts by moving the structure further away from the
buffer zone.
Action: Council Member Fellows moved to take tentative action to deny Plot Plan Review Case
No. 06-009,and direct staff to develop a modified resolution and findings, and provide direction on
appropriate and reasonable home replacement size and location that would not add to agricultural
impacts. Mayor Ferrara seconded, and the motion passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Fellows, Ferrara, Costello, Guthrie
NOES: Arnold
ABSENT: None
Further discussion ensued regarding direction to staff that accessory buildings should not be
considered in determining size of the replacement structure.
10. CONTINUED BUSINESS ITEM
None.
71. NEW BUSINESS ITEMS
11.a. Consideration of Establishing a Policy Designating a Summer Month in the Future
for Cancellation of Council Meetings.
City Manager Adams presented the staff report and recommended Council consider the concept
of establishing a practice and/or policy designating a summer month in the future for cancellation
of Council meetings and provide direction to staff.
Mayor Ferrara invited comments from those in the audience who wished to be heard on the
matter, and upon hearing no public comments, he closed the public comment period.
Discussion ensued relating to the pros and cons of canceling a month of ineetings during the
summer. Following discussion, it was suggested that one Council meeting be canceled in July
2008 and to determine, following that date, whether to continue the practice.

Proiect Environmental Analvsis
The City's environmental review process incorporates all of the requirements for completing the
Initial Study as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA
Guidelines. The Initial Study includes staff's on-site inspection of the project site and surroundings
and a detailed review of the information in the file for the project. In addition, available background
information is reviewed for each project. Relevant information regarding soil types and
characteristics, geologic information, significant vegetation and/or wildlife resources, water
availability, wastewater disposal services, existing land uses and surrounding land use categories
and other information relevant to the environmental review process are evaluated for each project.
Exhibit A includes the references used, as well as the agencies or groups that were confacted as a
part of the Initial Study. The Community Development Department uses the checklist to summarize
the results of the research accomplished during the initial environmental review of the project.
Persons, agencies or organizations interested in obtaining more information regarding the
environmental review process for a project should contact the City of Arroyo Grande Community
Development Department at 214 East Branch Street Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 or call (805) 473-

A. PROJECT
DESCRIPTION/SETTING: Proposal by Tony Janowicz to remove an existing 830 square foot
single-family residence and accessory structures on the project site and construct a new 1,600
square foot residence and garage further back on the property. Surrounding land uses include
low-density residential development to the east, north and west, and agricultural land to the
south.
The project site is located within Subarea 2 of the East Village Neighborhood Plan (EVNP).
The land use designation of Subarea 2 is Single Family Residential Medium Density (SFR-
MD) and the zoning was recently changed from Residential Rural (RR) to Single Family
Residential (SF), consistent with the 2001 General Plan. Allowable density was increased
from one (1) dwelling unit per acre to 4.5 dwelling units per acre. The project site is located
roughly fifteen feet (15') from existing agricultural operations. Given the size of the lot (14,586
square feet), almost the entire property lies within the Agricultural Preservation Overlay District
(AG-2.2), assuming a one hundred foot (100')wide agricultural buffer.

C. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
During the Initial Study process, several issues were identified as having potentially significant
environmental effects (see following Initial Study). Those potentially significant items associated with
the proposed project can be minimized to less-than-significant levels by incorporating the mitigation
measures listed below. All mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study shall be included in the
Conditions of Approval for the project.

Setting. The adjacent property to the south (the "Dixson Ranch") has been in agricultural production
since the early 1900's (row crops) and is in a permanent agricultural preserve. Development Code
Section 16.12.170 requires an agricultural buffer be established on all new developments adjacent to
any designated agricultural district. The definition of "new developmenY' includes the issuance of a
building permit for any new residential unit. The project requires a demolition permit to remove
existing structures and a building permit to construct a new residence and therefore is subject to the
agricultural buffer standards. The buffer area shall be a minimum of one hundred feet (100') wide,
measured from the edge of the designated agricultural district, and shall include a twenty-foot (20')
wide landscaped transition area. All but the northern most 1,500 square feet of the 14,586 square
foot lot is located within the Agricultural Preservation Overlay District (AG-2.2). The East Village
Neighborhood Plan (EVNP), approved by City Council in October 2007, specifies a 130' wide
agriculture buffer for both subareas. Applying a 130' wide buffer to the project site encompasses the
entire property.
Impact. The project site is located adjacent to property that is zoned Agriculture and cultivated with
row crops. The different land uses of the project site and adjacent agricultural land create conflicting
impacts. From the residential perspective, the source of agricultural-related conflict can be from
noise, light, dust, pollen, smoke, pesticides, odors, traffic, insects or rodents. From the farmer's
perspective, the source of conflict from the adjacent residential use can be theft, vandalism, litter, pest
infestation, drainage, or increased liability. Adequate separation of these land uses would help reduce
conflicting impacts.
The property is currently developed with a single-family residence and accessory structures
approximately 19.5 feet from existing agricultural operations. The proposed project would remove the
existing structures and place a new, residence approximately 69 feet from agricultural operations, a
difference of 34.5 feet. This is the furthest north the structure can be placed while adhering to setback
requirements and neighbor concerns.
Mitigation/Conclusion. Almost all of the property is located within the City-designated agricultural
buffer. Because the property is zoned residential and a residential use already exists, moving the use
farther from agricultural operations improves the existing situation. The project includes a 35-foot
wide landscaped strip to help reduce impacts. This is fifteen feet (15') wider than what the Agricultural
Preservation Overlay District (AG-2.2) requires.
The City also has adopted a Right-To-Farm Ordinance with provisions for farmland preservation and
protection, and serves to notify residents of farmers' rights and clarify agricultural activities. The
following mitigation measures will further reduce impacts between land uses to a less than significant
level:
�Ih - 5�

MM 2.2: The applicant shall submit a final landscape plan for the agricultural buffer,
prepared by an environmental specialist or professional biologist familiar with agricultural
buffers, to be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department and the
Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department to ensure that the plant selection provides
effective and appropriate screening with fast growing evergreen trees and shrubs. The final
landscape plan shall be consistent with the "Landscape Ag Buffer Plan" prepared by Firma for

City of Arroyo Grande, Initial Study for 795 Cherry Ave. Page 5
Setting. The San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) has developed the CEQA
Air Qualitv Handbook to evaluate project specific impacts and help determine if air quality mitigation
measures are needed, or if potentially significant impacts could result. The City refers to this
Handbook for all discretionary projects subject to CEQA.
Impact. The project is expected to generate roughly 10 average daily trips (ADT). Based on Table 1-
1 of the CEQA Air Quality Handbook ("Screening Criteria for Project Air Quality Impacts"), these trips
would produce less than ten (10) Ibs./day of emissions (emissions are defined as ROG, NOx, PM,o,
SOx and CO). Projects producing less than ten (10) Ibs./day of emissions are not subject to mitigation
per the CEQA Air Quality Handbook.
As proposed, the project will result in 77 cubic yards of cut and 425 cubic yards of fill, creating
construction dust. Demolition as proposed will also create dust. In San Luis Obispo County, ozone
and PM,o are the pollutants of primary concern, since state health-based standards for these
pollutants are exceeded in portions of the County in most years. For this reason, San Luis Obispo
County is considered to be in non-attainment of the state standards for both ozone and PM,o. The
major sources of PM,o include mineral quarries, grading, demolition, agricultural tilling, road dust and
vehicle exhaust.
Grading and construction of the project would occur over a period of several months. Short-term
impacts related to dust generation from site preparation and grading would result in dust generation
that could affect adjacent properties. Mitigation measures placed on the project would reduce short-
term dust generation during construction of the project to less-than-significant levels. Dust generated
by the development activities shall be kept to a minimum with a goal of retaining dust on the site. The
dust control measures listed below shall be followed during construction of the project, and shall be
shown on grading and building plans.
Mitigation/Conclusion. The following mitigation measures are necessary to reduce air quality
impacts to a less-than-significant level.
Construction Phase Emissions
The project shall comply with all applicable Air Pollution Control District (APCD) regulations
pertaining to the control of fugitive dust (PM�o) as contained in section 6.5 of the Air Quality
Handbook. All site grading plans shall list the following regulations:
MM 3.1: All dust control measures listed below (MM 3.2 — 3.6) shall be followed during
construction of the project and shall be shown on grading and building plans. The contractor or
builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control program and to order
increased watering, as necessary, to prevent transport of dust off site.
MM 3.2: During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be used to keep all
areas of vehicle movement damp enough to prevent airborne dust from leaving the site. At a
minimum, this would include wetting down such areas in the later morning and after work is
� completed for the day and whenever wind exceeds 15 miles per hour. Reclaimed (non-potable)
water shall be used whenever possible.
MM 3.3: Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or treated
with soil binders to prevent dust generation.
MM 3.4: All vehicles hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials are to be covered or
should maintain at least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load
and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 23114.
��- 5�
City of Arroyo Grande, Initial Study for 795 Cherry Avenue Page 6
MM 3.5: Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads on to streets,
or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site. Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles
shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the construction site.
MM 3.6: Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried on to
adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water shall be used where feasible.
MM 3.7: To mitigate the diesel PM generated during the construction phase, all .
construction equipment shall be properly maintained and tuned according to manufacturer's
specifications. The measures below (MM 3.8— 3.10) shall be clearly identified in the project bid
specifications so the contractors biding on the project can include the purchase and installation
costs in their bids.
MM 3.8: All off-road and portable diesel powered equipment, including but not limited to
bulldozers, graders, cranes, loaders, scrapers, backhoes, generator sets, compressors, auxiliary
power units, shall be fueled exclusively with California Air Resources Board (ARB) motor vehicle
dieselfuel.
MM 3.9: To the maximum extent feasible, the use of diesel construction equipment shall
meet the ARB's 1996 certification standard for off-road heavy-duty diesel engines.
MM 3.10: Unless otherwise approved by APCD, the developer shall install catalytic diesei
particulate filters or Diesel oxidation catalyst on one (1) pieces of construction equipment
involved in primary earth moving and construction activities and projected to generate the
greatest emissions.
MM 3.11: The applicant shall obtain an approval letter for demolition from the San Luis Obispo
County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) prior to issuance of a demolition permit.

Setting. There are no significant trees or waterways located on the project site that would provide
habitat for birds, mammals or aquatic species.
Impact. The project site is not located next to any creek, creek tributary or riparian habitat areas, and
does not contain any large trees for nesting of birds of prey. Therefore, the project will have no
impact on biological resources.
Mitigation/Conclusion. Project development will have no impact on biological resources and
therefore no mitigation is required.

Setting. The subject property is not located within a historic district and is not a recorded historic or
pre-historic site. Attachment B is a letter from LSA Associates, Inc., detailing their findings with regard
to the historic resource component of the subject property. The conclusion is that the structure is
unlikely to qualify as a significant historic resource per the California Environmental Quality Act.
However, based on the fact that the site is located in an area historically occupied by the Obispeno
Chumash, and on previous cultural resource surveys in the area, a phase I cultural resource surFace
survey is recommended prior to demolition and/or grading activities.
Impact. It is uncertain whether potential impacts to cultural resources would occur during grading
activities without a phase I cultural resource survey conducted. If cultural resources are encountered
during the construction process, development activities at the site shall cease until a qualified
archaeologist has been employed to view and assess the discovery and prepare a mitigation plan.
Mitigation/Conclusion. Development of the project could have a potentially significant impact to
cultural resources that can be mitigated to a less-than-significant level with implementation of the
mitigation measures listed below.
MM 5.1. The applicant shall submit a phase I cultural resource surface survey prepared by a
qualified archaeologist.
Responsible Party: Applicant
Monitoring Agency: City of Arroyo Grande—CDD
Timeframe: Prior to issuance of demolition or grading permit
MM 5.2. The note below shall be placed on the grading and improvement plans for the project:
"In the event that during grading, constniction or development of the project, and archeological
resources are uncovered, all work shall be halted until the City has reviewed the resources for
their sign�cance. If human remains (burials) are encountered, the County Coroner (781-4513)
shall be contacted immediately. The applicant may be required to provide archaeological studies
and/or mitigation measures."

Setting. The topography of the project site is relatively flat and is located outside of the 100-year
floodplain. Sto�mwate� cu�rently flows across the adjacent property to the west towards the end of Myrtle
Street. The landslide risk and liquefaction potential during a ground-shaking event is considered low.
No active faulting is known to exist on or close to the subject property. The project is not within a
known area containing serpentine or ultramafic rock or soils (i.e. low risk for naturally occurring
asbestos). A preliminary grading and drainage plan was prepared for the project site by William R.
Dyer, which provides drainage calculations and a drainage solution (Attachment C).
�h- 57
City of Arroyo Grande, Initial Study for 795 Cherry Ave. Page 9
Impact. The major source of potential earthquake damage to Arroyo Grande is from activity along
the regional San Andreas Fault located less than forty (40) miles east along the eastern border of San
Luis Obispo County. The most widespread intensity of ground shaking depends on several factors
including the magnitude of the earthquake, the distance from the earthquake epicenter, and
underlying soil conditions. Other regional faults of significance that could affect the project area in
terms of ground shaking are the Rincondada and Nacimiento faults, located approximately twenty-five
(25) miles east of the City. These faults are considered "potentially active", and could cause
moderate (Magnitude 6.0+) earthquakes in the area. The West Huasna fault is located roughly three
(3) miles east of the City of Arroyo Grande. The project site would be subject to severe ground
shaking in a strong seismic event, which could cause damage to structures and endanger public
safety.
Mitigation/Conclusion. Seismic hazard, soil stability and soil erosion are considered potentially
significant impacts that can be reduced to a less-than-significant level with implementation of the
mitigation measures listed below.
MM 6.7: A project-specific soils report shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer as
required by the City's Grading Ordinance, and the recommendations of that report shall be

Setting. The project site is bounded by residential development to the north, east and west, and
agricultural land to the south. The subject property has been zoned for residential development since
1972. The project is within the allowable density and consistent with the 2001 General Plan policies.
�h - (�o
City of Arroyo Giande,Initial Study foi 795 Cherry Avenue Page 12
The City adopted its Housing Element in 2003, which includes goals, policies and implementing �I
programs for the preservation, improvement and development of affordable housing. Per the certified
Housing Element, residential subdivisions and mixed-use projects are required to restrict 15% of the
units as affordable to moderate-income households. Any fraction of a unit is required to pay an
affordable housing in-lieu fee. The project will not add additional units, and therefore the project is not
subject to the affordable housing provisions of the Housing Element.
Impact. The project will not result in a need for a significant amount of new housing, and will not
displace existing housing.
Mitigation/Conclusion. Project development will have no impact on population/housing and !,
therefore no mitigation is required.

etc.)7
h) Result in a change in air traffic � � � �
patterns that may result in
substantial safety risksl
i) Other � � � �
Setting. The project site is located on the corner of East Cherry Avenue extension and Lierly Lane,
both of which are private drives and inadequate for emergency vehicle access. East Cherry Avenue
extension is approximately 15-feet wide, unpaved and is privately owned by many individuals. Lierly
Lane is approximately 8-feet wide, unpaved and owned predominantly by the applicant. The
proposed project is accessed from Lierly Lane.
Impact. According to the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates, a single-family residence generates 10 average daily trips, with 0.8 peak hour trip
in the AM and 1 peak hour trip in the PM. Because this is a replacement residence, there is no net
increase in trip generation.
Mitigation/Conclusion. The project will have access from Lierly Lane, currently not adequate for
emergency vehicle access. Tra�c related impacts would be reduced to less than significant with
implementation of the following mitigation measures.
MM 72.1: Lierly Lane shall be improved along the project boundary as follows (the applicant
has the option of bonding for street improvements prior to issuance of building permit): !,

mitigated
a) Violate waste discharge requirements � � � �
for wastewater systems7
b) Change the quality of surface or � � � �
ground water(e.g., nitrogen-loading,
daylighting)1
c) Adversely affect community � � � �
wastewaferservice provider7
d) Other � � � �
Setting. Wastewater disposal for the project site is currently managed by means of an on-site septic
system. The project is required to hook up to the City's wastewater collection system when sewer
becomes available.
Impact: The South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District (SSLOCSD) provides wastewater
collection and treatment services for the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and the
unincorporated community of Oceano, and owns and maintains all of the main sewer trunk lines. Per
the Arroyo Grande Wastewater Master Plan (AGWWMP), the additional flows from the Neighborhood
Plan area (Subareas 1 and 2) were not accounted for and will add peak flows to the Fair Oaks
Avenue trunk line near US Highway 101, which is currently at 100% capacity and slated as a Capital
Improvement Project. Once implemented, this reach will have sufficient capacity for all anticipated
buildout flows.
Mitigation/Conclusion. Through sewer hookup and SSLOCSD fees, the developer will pay the
projecYs proportional share of impact fees to mitigate the additional demand. The mitigation listed
below is necessary to reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level.

Significant &will be Impact Applicable
QUALITY - Will the project: mitigated
a) Violate any water quality standards? � � � �
b) Discharge into surface waters or � � � �
otherwise alter surface water quality
(e.g., turbidity, temperature,
dissolved oxygen, etc.)1
c) Change the quality of groundwater � � � �
(e.g., saltwater intrusion, nitrogen-
loading, etc.)T
d) Change the quantify or movement of � � � �
available surface or ground water9
e) Adversely affect water supply? � � � �
fl Other � � � �
Setting. The topography of the site is relatively flat. Predominate surface flow direction is across the
Cherry Creek property to the west towards the end of Myrtle Street. Drainage from the site will be
retained on-site in a drainage basin with a capacity of 1,175 cubic feet and depth of 1.5 feet (see
Attachment C for drainage calculations).
The City currently receives its water supply from both surface and groundwater sources. Ground
water extractions are derived from seven (7) wells and two (2) separate basin formulations. Surface
water is obtained from the Lopez Reservoir Project, which was constructed in the late 1960's.
Reclaimed storm water collected by the Soto Sports Complex Storm Water Reclamation Project is
also used as an irrigation supply source.
�6 -c� �(
City of Arroyo Grande, Initial Study for 795 Cherry Avenue Page 16
The City adopted a Water System Master Plan in 1999, which identified water resources as being a
significant issue, and identified methods to increase and diversify water supply to increase long-term
reliability of the City's water service to its residents. The report assessed potential methods to
address the water supply issue and prioritized alternatives.
Impact: The project will remove an existing 815 square foot single-family residence and accessory
structures and wnstruct a new 1,650 square foot residence. The 835 square foot difference in lot
coverage will increase impervious surface area. The project adequately shows drainage to be
retained on site and no additional mitigation is necessary.
Although no additional dwelling units are proposed, domestic water usage is expected to increase
with installation of the landscape strip within the agricultural buffer. The City is currently in a "severely
restricted" water supply situation that has not yet reached a "critical" level. To manage its water
supply deficiency, the City adopted a two-phased strategy in November 2004 that included
alternatives to be pursued to meet the City's water demand over the next 10- year period (phase 1),
and identified alternatives that will provide permanent water supply increases to meet the long-term
demand that are most desirable, feasible and cost effective (phase 2). As part of phase 1, the City
adopted a Water Conservation Program in May 2003 that included:
• Plumbing Retrofit Program;
• Water Shortage Contingency Analysis;
• Public Information and Education;
• Information System Assessment for Top Water Users; and
• Optional components, including washing machine rebates, and irrigation system or landscaping
rebates.
Other components of phase 1 include construction of Well No. 10 (located on Deer Trail Circle),
pursuing oil field water on Price Canyon, implementing a tiered water and sewer rate structure as
financial incentives for water conservation, and a utility retrofit upon-sale program,
Phase 2 includes a permanent water supply option to study the feasibility of a desalination plant.
Mitigation/Conclusion. The City is currently in a severely restricted water supply situation, which is
considered a cumulatively significant impact. The projecYs contribution, however, is considered di
minimis, meaning that the environmental conditions would be the same whether or not the project is
implemented. The City adopted overriding considerations for cumulative water supply impacts
identified in the Program EIR for the 2001 General Plan Update. However, the project shall
implement the following restrictions and measures to reduce water supply impacts to a less-than-
significant level.
MM 14.1: The project shall comply with the City's required water conservation measures
including any applicable measures identified in any applicable City Water Conservation Plans.

Setting/Impact. Surrounding uses are identified on Page 3 of the Initial Study. The proposed project i
was reviewed for consistency with policy and/or regulatory documents relating to the environment and i,
appropriate land use (e.g., City's Land Use Element, Development Code, Zoning Map, etc.). The '
project was found to be consistent with these documents and codes with implementation of the above
mitigation measures.
The project is not within or adjacent to a conservation plan area. The project is compatibie with
surrounding land uses subject to planting a vegetative strip within the agricultural buffer, included in the
project description, and MM 2.1, which requires adherence to the provisions contained in the City's ,
Right-To-Farm Ordinance. '
Mitigation/conclusion. No inconsistencies were identified and therefore no additional measures i
above what will already be required was determined necessary.

Subject: Record search for two parcels at 795 Cherry Street, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo County,
Califomia (APN it 007-571-007 and 007-711-004)
Dear Mr. Janowicz:
A records search at the Central Coast Information Center in Santa Barbara(CC1C)was requested for
the property belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Janowicz in Arroyo Grande at 795 Cherry Street. The seazch
parameters were set at a 'h mile radius. Of particular concem was whether the buildings on the
Janowicz property had been previously recorded as historic sites. CCIC record searches review all
lrnown archaeological sites,historic resources, and previous cultural resource surveys.
Three previous cultural resource surveys were found in or near the '/.mile radius. The closest was a
negative survey done in 1998 by C. A. Singer. The 1985 Arroyo Grande Creek Watershed survey by
Wallace and Taylor recorded 69 sites,of which seven are listed in the CCIC report,however they do
not appear to be near the project location. A 300 acre survey in 1997 by David Whitley lists three
sites,but the map is not conclusive as to their exact location. SLO-1893 is not mentioned in the
biblio�aphy of surveys,but is shown on the map provided by CCIC. ►t lies approximately 1/8 mile
southeast of the site.
The CCIC Assistant Coordinator searched inventories for the State Historic Property Data Files,
National Register of Historic Places,National Register of Determined Eligible Properties, Califomia
Historical Landmarks,Califomia Points of Historic Interest,Califomia Office of Historic Pmservation
Archaeological Detetminations of Eligibility, and the Caltrans State and Local Bridge Surveys. No
property evaluations were recorded within the prescribed azea.
The property does not appeaz to lie within a historic district,and is not a recorded historic or
prehistoric site. It is recommended by the City of P.rroyo Grande that an azchitectura]historian
examine the building,but it is unlikely that it is a significant resource. A significant resource is
defined under CEQA as: associated with important people or events in local,regional,Califomia,or
National history,yields or potentially yields important information about the his[ory of the area,
embodies distinctive chazacteristics of a type,period, region,or method of construction, represents the
work of a master or possesses high artistic values, or is the last or best example of it's type. None of
these criteria would appear to apply to this property based on the infortnation provided. According to
the owner,the house is in a dilapidated condition, and has undergone numerous additions in the past.
� b ".�7 �
i > � �..nt'i>�r� ���
If cultural resources (a historic trash deposit, prehistoric midden, or other features) are encountered
during excavation, the property owner should contact a qualified archaeologist to examine the find,
evaluate the resource(s), and make recommendations for recordation and analysis. If human remains
are encountered,all excavation must be stopped and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff/Coroner must
be notified immediately.
Enclosed is the CCIC letter with accompanying maps and inventory sheet, a copy of[he subdivision
map, and a portion of the U.S. Geological Survey Airoyo Grande NE (CA)topographic map showing
the subject property.

Dear Ms. Stewart,
Enclosed are the results of the record search you requested for the Janowicz
Property Project. Our records were searched for all known archaeological sites,
historic resources, and previous cultural resource surveys within a one-quarter
mile radius of the project area.
In this search, one archaeological site(s) and three previous cultural resource
survey(s) were found. The survey locations were mapped in colored pencil onto
portions of the Arroyo Grande NE, Oceano quad(s). A bibliography of these
surveys is included. A search of the inventories for the State Historic Property
Data Files, National Register of Historic Piaces, National Register of Determined
Eligible Properties, California Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historic
Interest, California OHP Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility, and the
Caltrans State and Local Bridge Surveys yielded zero property evaluation(s) within
According to our records, the project area has not been surveyed. Therefore a
cultural resource survey is recommended.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this search.

Planning Commission Members,
The property owners of Sub Area Two listed below have signed this letter and aze
in full sunnoR of Tony Janowicz' proposal to remove the existing residence and
outbuildings to supply a better location for a new residence located at 795 Cherry St.
We realize that the new residence will be much further away from the existing
farmland and also fiuther away from Lierly Lane. The new location at the proposed
residence will accommodate future improvements and potential growth.

Re: Public Hearing, Tuesday, April 17, 2007
Plot Plan Review Case No. 06-009, 795 East Cherry Avenue, Arroyo Grande
Applicant—Tony Janowicz
Dear Planning Commissioners,
We recognize the above-referenced property cannot accommodate the same depth of an
agricultural buffer (130') as has been required of the adjacent Cherzy Creek project.
However, we request an additional consideration from the Planning Commission that Mr.
Janowicz be required to also extend the no-climb fence along the south side of the
improved Cherry Street and the permanent Agricultural Preserve.
We feel strongly there needs [o be consistency with the Cherry Creek project in these two
areas: extending the widened and improved Cherry Avenue to Lierly Lane (MM 12.2),
but also the extension of the no climb fence as part of a joint agreement with the Cheny
Creek project principals on a pro rata basis. This would be an additional mitigation under
2.b Agricultural Resources to lessen the Impact as stated in paragraph two, "Adequate
separation of these land uses would help reduce conflicting impacts."
Please add this to your recommendation to the City Council.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Marianna Dixson McClanahan and Sara Dixson Dickens

Dear Planning ommissioner,
In case you are unfamiliar with the city statutes regarding the Ag Buffer, I am enclosing
a copy of the pertinent portions as it pertains to the Plot Plan Review Case #06-009 at
795 East Cherry.
The small house on that lot has been rented continually ever since the original owner,
�Aargaret Reed, moved away in the 1990s. I think this constitutes an economically
viable use of the property. I don't believe that the outbuildings sho�ld be included as
square footage of the house, since most of them have a dirt floor and corrugated tin
roofs and were obviously not permitted structures.
The size of the replacement house in this application dces not meet the city standards
as set forth in the General Development Standards section 16.48.110, section 4.
Sincerely,
Ly i s

16.12.170. Right to farm provisions and fatmland preservation.
E. Agricultural buffer.
1. In conjunction with General Plan policies oullined in the Agricutlure,
Conservation and Open Space Element, and specificaliy Objective Ag5,
the city has determined that the use of property for agricultural operations
is a high priority. To minimize potential conflicts between agricultural and
nonagricultural land uses, including the protection of public health, the
reduction of noise and odor, and the redudion of risk to farm operations
from domestic animal predation, crop theft and damage and complaints
from neighboring urt�an dwellers, all new development adjacent to any
__ designated agricultural distrid shall be required to provide an agricullural
buffer. "Development' as used in this section, means subdivision of land,
use permits and building permiis for new residential units. �
2. The buffer area shall be a minimum of one hundred feet, measured from
the edge of the designated agricultural district. Optimally, to achieve a
� maximum separation, a buffer wider than one hundred feet is encouraged
and may be required 'if it is determined through environmental review
under CEQA and/or recommended by the San Luis Obispo Counry
Agricultural Commissioner. A decreased buffer distance may be allowed
if it can be demonstrated that a physical buffer exists (eg. Arroyo Grande
Creek) that is adequate and approved by the San Luis Obispo County
Agricultural Commissioner.
3. The minimum one hundred foot agricultural buffer area shall be
comprised of two components: a twenty-foot wide agricultural landscaped
transiGon area contiguous to an eighty-foot wide agricultural buffer
adjacent to the designated agricultural district. The twenty-fiot transition
area may indude pedestrian access. The wmbined one hundred foot
agricultural buffer shalt not qualify as fartnland mitigation as required by
section 16.12.170.F.
4. The following shall be peRnitted in the one hundred foot agricultural buffer.
• native plants, tree or hedge rows, roads, drainage channels, storm
retention ponds, naturdl areas such as creeks or drainage swales, utility
corridors, �storage, and any use, including agricultural or limited
commercial uses, determined by the planning commission to be consistent
with the use of the property as an agricultural buffer. No new residential � �
use shall be pertnitted within the buffer area unless it is determined there
would be no other economically viable use of the property. Restoration of
a damaged residence within the buffer area may be pursued in
accordance with Section 16.48.110.
5. The one hundred foot agricultural buffer shall be established by the
developer pursuant to a plan approved by the Community Development
Director and the Parks, Recreation and Facilities Director. The plan shall
include provisions for the use of integrated weed and pest management
techniques and soil erosion control. An agreement in the form approved
by the city attomey shall be recorded, which shall include the
requirements of this section.

structure may be restored, and the nonconiortning use may be resumed; provided, that
restoration is started within one year and diligently pursued to compietion; and provided turther
that the restored swdure does not exceed the square footage of the original structure.
c. When the destruction of any structure, except a single-famiiy residence, exceeds fifty(50)
percent or the sWcture is voluntarily razed or is required by law to be razed, the stnicture shall
not be restored except in full conformity with the regulations for the zone in which it is located and

shall not be restored except in full confortniry with the regulations for the zone in which it is

D. Nonconfortning Lots.
1. A nonconfortning lot may be used for any use identfied as an allowable or conditional use by
this title, provided the minimum development standards established in this ti0e for particular uses
are satisfied.
2. Reductions in the size of existing nonconforming lots shall only be allowed with variances and
lot line adjustments to increase the size of an adjacent nonconfortning lot to allow its size or
dimensions to be brought doser to conformity with ihe provisions of this title. Under no

Dear Planning Commission and City Council of Arroyo Grande,
I am writing to you regarding the application for a tear down and rebuild of
7'ony Janow�tz's property located at 795 East Cherry Avenue.
I was astounded when the property was sold to Mr.Janowitz because the City
C ouncil had already adopted their guidelines for agricultural buffers prior to the
transfer of his title. After participadng in the discussions regazding the Cherry
C reek development, the applicant l�ew the strong convictions the City Council
held about Ag buffers.
When my parents bought the house at 404 Lierly Lane, ac�jacent the applicanYs
parcel, they knew the Dixson Ranch was devoted to the Williamson Act
agricultural preserve. They also knew it w�uld be difficult, if not impossible, to
develop Margaret Reed's shack at the corner of Lierly and East Cherry. They
liked it that way.
C unsequently, we were shocked when tlus applicarion was originally transacted
over the counter of the Planning Department and thank the Commission for
pulling it for reconsideration tonight.
Perhaps the applicant should consider building a new house in another location.
His property further down Lierly Lane might suffice.
People are not a[lowed to build in ihe Ag buFfer!
But if you do allow it, the structure is too lazge and much larger than the policy
call5 for. The compressing of the suitable building footprint is inconsistent with
s��rrounding homes. Doesn't the City want less people living in the Ag buffer,
not more?
,]ust say no.
Thank you
C olleen Maztin �

SUBJECT: Plot Plan Review Case Nu. 06-009
Hearing Date: August 14, 2007 i
Dea�•Council Persons:
Ott behalf of nry client, the a}�plicant, Tony lanowicz, 1 would like to point out some particular
important aspects of this project that has been notably mentioned by Planning Staff:
I. The applicant has worked extensively with plannuig staff and with the planning
commissioners' recommendations in order to presenl a refined and acceptable project for the
subject property. The property indeed does not quite meet the minimum buffer distance
requirements but as planning staff has amply pointed out, Development Code Section
16.12.170(E) cleafly peimits residential use in tlie Uuffer a��ea when the residential use has
historically existed as in this case a�id that there is no other economically viaUle use of the
property. This project clearly mcets the exception requiremenls of Code Section 16.12.170(E) in
that unless a variation from the distance requirements of the buffer is allowed, the usage of the
property is relegated to a vac:uit piece of property or one with old dilapidated buildings. The
subject improvements on the property at this time are in clear violation of tlie present ordinances
I and ce�tainly the Uuffer zone a��ea.
The proposed project will provide twice the disiance as present(y exists for the buffer area,
� will provide extensive landscaping for sa•eening puiposes and beautify the area and will take away
the eye sore of the old buildings and make the suUject property aesthetically pleasing. The
proposed size uf the new house is reasonable and fits piroperly on the lot not really impinging un
, the buffer area and separated by cxtensive landscaping. The applicant worked extensively and
closely with the planning department and the recommendations of the planning commissioners in
redesigning the proposed improvements and attempting to accommodate the reasonaUle requests
in order to provide a project that would Ue acceptable in the azea and one that even the applicant
' as well as the city would be proud to have built. In fact,most of the suirounding neighbors have
given oveiwhelming support for the proposed project clearly ivdicatiug the projcct would be a
vast improvement over the present existing condition of the property and would conhiUute to
enhancing the safety and welfare of the community by providing a wider and upgraded road for all
concerned.
2. The city staff indicates that there is a modest ina ease in the size of improveinents of
approrimately 18.5% but further notes that this increase would not intensify the use nor
occupancy within the buffer aa-ea. Staf�'s interpretation of the Development Code is that the City

did not want to eliminate the use of its land but to allow reasonable expansion of existing
stiuctures wiihin the buffer area.
3. lt would appear um�easonable to approach Yhis project with a dei�sity transfer in that it
would make for mucl�smaller lots than presently exist in SuUa��ea 2. The neighbois a��e not
i
requesting this type of change Uut are convinced that such piroposed improvements would
euLance the chazacter and aesthetic appearance of the property and area. The road improvements
would certainly add to the safcty and welfare of lhe xrea as well.
4. The planning department has done an extremeiy thorough investigation and study of all
developmeut codes, state and loca] impruvement requirements and all relevant infoimation and
based on their review, they recommend adoption of the planning cormnissioners' approvaL Staff
prepared reasonable conditions under that approval which would mitigate any conceins of the city
and allow a viable project. For the foregoing reasons, it is respectfully requested that the City
Council approve the applicanYs project, approve the staffs recommendations and the decision of
the Planning Commissioners.

WHEREAS> the City Council of Arroyo Grande adopted the updated General Plan which
became effective on October 9, 2001 and which includes the Housing Element adopted in
2003 and updated on March 8, 2005; and
WHEREAS, the City has a responsibility to assure adherence to the General Plan in
meeting the needs and desires of the residents and the community; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has conducted current initial
studies and concluded that environmental impacts associated with the project will be
mitigated to less than significant as outlined in a draft Mitigated Negative Declaration
dated June 28, 2007; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after public hearing; consideration of the draft Mitigated
Negative Declaration, all testimony and evidence presented, finds the Mitigated
Negative Declaration appropriate and adequate pursuant to State and local CEQA laws
and guidelines including requirements per SB 18; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after public hearing, consideration of staff report, all
testimony and evidence presented, recommended certain amendments to the
Development Code concerning the Medium-High Density and Office Professional land
use designation for the purposes of implementation of General Plan goals and policies;
and
WHEREAS, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the City Council finds that
the following circumstances exist:
A. The proposed change in zone and revisions to Title 16 will satisfy Objective LU3
of the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which requires the City to
"Accommodate a broad range of Multiple Family Residential and special needs
housing types and densities within the City"; and including LU11-1.4 to "restrict
new urban single family, multiple family and mobile home uses to infill areas
adjacent to existing developments of similar density"; and objective LU4 which
states "Provide for a diversity of inedical facilities and professional office uses to
complement the character and service the population of Arroyo Grande by
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE Z
designating as Office(0) appropriately located areas of the City"; and other
policies under objectives LU3 and LU4, and consistent with LU11 and is
therefore desirable to implement the provisions of the General Plan.
B. The proposed change in zone and revisions to Title 16 reflect that both the
existing zones and proposed zones are predominantly commercial and contain
historical residential use, and the promotion of mixed use will not adversely affect
the public health, safety, and welfare or result in an illogical land use pattern.
C. The proposed change of zones and revisions to Title 16 satisfy Section
16.36.010 of the Development Code, which states "It is the purpose of this
chapter to provide regulations that implement those goals, objectives and
policies, and that are aimed toward the provision of adequate and appropriate
commercial areas within the City".
D. The proposed change of zones and revisions to Title 16 are within the scope of
the Program EIR prepared for the 2001 General Plan Update, and a Negative
Declaration has been prepared in Accordance with CEQA.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals and findings are true and correct.
SEGTION 2. Development Code Section 16.24.020 (Zoning Map) is hereby amended

APPLICANT DAVID ROBASCIOTTI FOR THIRTEEN PROPERTIES
IN THE VICINITY OF S. ELM STREET NEAR POPLAR STREET.
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. Adopt a Resolution to change the General Plan land use designation for five
properties at the northwest corner of S. Halcyon Road and Fair Oaks Avenue
from Multiple Family Residential Very High Density to Mixed Use Office
Professional; and change the General Plan land use designation for thirteen
properties in the vicinity of S. Elm Street near Poplar Street from Medium
Density Single-family Residential to Medium-High Density Multi-family
Residential; and
2. Introduce an Ordinance to change the zoning for five properties at the
northwest corner of S. Halcyon Road and Fair Oaks Avenue from Multiple
Family Residential Very High Density (MVH) to Office Mixed Use (OMU); and
change the zoning for the properties in the vicinity of S. Elm Street near
Poplar Street from Single Family residential (SF) to Multi-family Apartment
(MFA).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the current fiscal year budget.
BACKGROUND:
In the Fall of 2006, staff began to study the possibility of initiating a zoning change for
several properties located at 362; 370; 378; & 382 S. Halcyon Road and 906 Fair Oaks
Avenue to accommodate redevelopment of a mix of appropriate uses for properties in close

proximity to Arroyo Grande Community Hospital. This was in part prompted by a request
from Dr. Jonathan Fow, an orthopedic surgeon, seeking a medical facility on S. Halcyon
Road and supported by Rick Castro, President of the Arroyo Grande Community Hospital
to facilitate expanded medical services next to the Hospital (Attachment 1). The property's
current zoning, very high density residential, precludes medical office uses.
On November 8, 2006, David Robasciotti filed an application for a Development Code
Amendment and General Plan Amendment requesting a change in zoning and General
Plan land use designation for several properties on the west side of South Elm Street.
According to Mr. Robasciotti, these changes would allow for more infill housing and "bring
the area in line with the surrounding area," which includes multi-family housing and
condominiums. This is an area that is considered an appropriate area to "upzone" in the
2003 Housing Element of the General Plan due to iYs larger lots, surrounding multi-family
zoning and development, as well as iYs proximity the mixed use corridor on E. Grand
Avenue.
The Planning Commission considered this item at its August 7, 2007 public hearing. The
three members of the Commission who were present voted 2-1 to recommend approval of
the project. However, the City's Development Code requires an affirmative vote from the
total membership of the Commission in order to proceed with a recommendation of
approval to City Council. The Planning Commission re-considered the item on September
18, 2007 and recommended approval of the project by a 4-0 vote.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- adopt the proposed Resolution to change the General Plan land use designations and
introduce the proposed Ordinance to change the zoning;
- amend and approve the proposed resolution and amend and introduce the proposed
Ordinance. Specific alternatives for the proposed Ordinance that pertain only to the
vicinity of South Halcyon and Fair Oaks Avenue were discussed but rejected by the
Planning Commission include:
1. Proposed project — Review of specific impacts of any proposed mix of uses
during consideration of a specific discretionary development application (refer to
findings necessary for mixed use projects in Section 16.48.065); or
2. Using a design overlay to prohibit non-residential uses from fronting Fair Oaks
Avenue (e.g. amend D-2.20 for medical mixed use, see Attachment 5); or
3. Zoning that portion Multi-family Apartment to match adjacent uses on the west
side of the project area. This alternative, however, would substantially down-zone
the property from 25 du/acre to 13 du/acre) and reduce site design flexibility for
the mixed use portion of the site; or

4. Rezoning only those properties that do not front Fair Oaks to OMU. This
alternative would create a zoning "island" or spot zone that is not a desired
zoning circumstance; or
5. Denial of proposal - Keeping the zoning/land use designation Multi-family Very
High Density (no change). This would not allow for any mixed-use residential
and office/commercial redevelopment potential on the property including on
Halcyon across from the Hospital.

- provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Vicinitv of South Halcvon Road and Fair Oaks Avenue
The first portion of the project includes amending the General Plan Land Use Map and
Zoning Map to allow for a mix of residential and medical office uses near the Arroyo
Grande Community Hospital for properties currently zoned for residential use only and
currently underutilized.

du/acre to support multi-family and senior housing attached developments. This is an area
recently rezoned from Senior Residential to MFV during the Development Code update
when all SR was rezoned due to State law requirements. They are currently developed
with four single-family residences, the overall density of which is approximately 2.2 du/acre.
In addition, the property at 378 S. Halcyon Road contains a small building previously used
as office space.
Staff proposes changing the General Plan land use designation to Office Professional (0)
and changing their zoning to Office Mixed-Use (OMU) with a maximum density of 20
du/acre for mixed use developments or 15 du/acre for residential-only projects (a decrease
of potential density of approximately 9 units for the 1.8-acre site). This would make the
area more compatible with the zoning and land use designations of properties immediately
to the north and to the east across S. Halcyon Road. Since the MFV is a residential district
there are no opportunities for office professional uses or mixed use development that would
better facilitate the development of inedical support and auxiliary office uses in a location
directly adjacent to Arroyo Grande Community Hospital.

An issue raised by the Commission was the potential for a development project to include
office or commercial uses directly across the street from the Harloe Elementary school site
and that residential uses are more compatible in that location. Additionally, access from
Fair Oaks into the project area and the resulting traffic implications was a concern
discussed at the hearing (the project would front the parking lot of the elementary school).
Although any future mixed-use development would be reviewed according to the City's
� requirements for mixed use (Development Code Sections 16.36.020.L and 16.48.065.E.2),
including larger setbacks adjacent to residential districts and the appropriate mix of uses for

the site, the proposed amendrrients do allow for application of either office/commercial uses
or residential uses on Fair Oaks Avenue. Alternatives considered by the Planning
Commission included those discussed in the above Alternatives Section.
The Planning Commission recommended the proposed project to allow greater flexibility in
design and site specific review of potential redevelopment including the location and mix of
uses, ingress and egress and associated impacts. It is further noted that higher intensity
land uses related to automotive and vehicle retail, services or repair, processing,
construction, manufacturing, storage, wholesaling, or distribution are not allowed in the
OMU district proposed for the project area. Additionally, land uses considered incompatible
for location near school sites (e.g. restricted personal-services or retail, or adult business)
are not allowed within the OMU district nor within 500 feet of any parcel containing a
school.
In order to compensate for the loss of available housing density associated with the S.
Halcyon Road project, Mr. Robasciotti's proposal to increase the maximum housing density
of several properties on the west side of South Elm Street is being brought fonvard for
consideration in the same application. This action will preserve consistency with the
certified General Plan Housing Element by maintaining roughly the same citywide housing
densities, consistent with State law requirements that the City accommodate its share of
the region's housing needs.
Vicinitv of South Elm Street
The second portion of the proposed project is a re-designation of the properties in the
vicinity of South Elm Street and 1205 Poplar Street in order to allow for application of
limited infill development on large lots abutting or near mixed use and across from or near
to multi-family districts.

The properties currently have the General Plan land use designation of Single-Family
Medium Density and are zoned Single Family (SF), which allows for a maximum density of
4.5 du/acre. Each property in the designated area is currently developed with one (1)
single-family residence (13 total), for an overall density of approximately 5.2 du/acre.
The applicant, Mr. Robasciotti, proposes changing the General Plan land use designation
of the properties on South Elm Street to Multi-Family Medium-High Density and changing
their zoning to Multi-Family (MF), which allows a maximum density of 9.0 du/acre
(Attachment 2 — letter submitted during Development Code update process for residential
districts). This neighborhood is identified in the Housing Element Update and the
residential update for the Development Code as appropriate for limited higher density over
time. These designations would match those of the area on the east side of South Elm
Street, directly facing the above properties. Because of this, the change would be
consistent with the general density and scale of the neighborhood. It would also
accommodate infill housing by allowing for parcel map and/or lot line adjustment
applications that would enable limited subdivision or additional units. It is estimated that six
(6) of the thirteen (13) properties may have sufficient gross area to enable application for 2-
unit Planned Unit Developments for smaller lot (approximately 5-6,000 sq. ft.) single family.

The proposed General Plan and Zoning amendments for both neighborhoods are being
proposed concurrently because State law (Government Code Section 65863) precludes the
City from reducing 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. The proposed General Plan
amendment reduces the allowable density for the vicinity of S. Halcyon and increases
sufficient density for the vicinity of S. Elm Street.
Additionally, it should be noted that this is the third General Plan amendment proposed for
this year. The City is allowed to amend the General Plan up to four times a year,
exempting projects for the direct provision of affordable housing.
ADVANTAGES:
The advantages of the proposed project for both neighborhoods include planning for infill
development in areas identified as appropriate, in consideration of the surrounding areas.
Regarding the proposed change in the vicinity of S. Halcyon and Fair Oaks street, the
proposal is consistent with General Plan Objective LU4 "Provide for a diversity of inedical
facilities and professional office uses to compliment the character and serve the population
of Arroyo Grande by designating as Office (0) appropriately located areas of the City", and
related policies LU4-1 and LU4-2. It will also help to facilitate the Redevelopment
Agency's goal of encouraging the transition of this segment of S. Halcyon Road to a
professional office district. Mixed use will also provide an opportunity to achieve affordable
housing near the elementary school.

The proposed change in the vicinity of S. Elm Street meets General Plan Land Use and
Housing Element policies for the provision of a broad range of inedium high density
detached or attached housing types and densities within the City.
DISADVANTAGES:
The potential disadvantage of the proposed project include the allowance of future
applications that may be perceived as a change to the nature and character of existing and
established neighborhoods. However, the proposal for each neighborhood considered the
benefits of allowing for potential redevelopment and infill in areas where there are existing
appropriate City services, infrastructure and adjacent density and uses.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In accordance with CEQA, Staff has determined that the proposed project would not have a
significant environmental impact. An Initial Study and Draft Negative Declaration was
prepared and is included as Attachment 4.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
A public notice regarding the project was published in The Tribune on November 2, 2007,
July 27, 2007 and September 7, 2007. Notices were sent to 111 property owners within
300' of the project areas on November 2, 2007, July 27, 2007 and September 7, 2007.
Additional informational letters and notices of availability were sent to property owners
within 300' of the project areas in June 2007.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF ARROYO GRANDE
APPROVING DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT CASE NO. 06-
005 TO CHANGE THE ZONING FOR FIVE PROPERTIES AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF S. HALCYON ROAD AND FAIR OAKS
AVENUE FROM MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL VERY HIGH
DENSITY TO OFFICE MIXED USE; AND CHANGE THE ZONING
FOR THE PROPERTIES IN THE VICINITY OF S. ELM STREET
NEAR POPLAR STREET FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL

WHEREAS, the City Council of Arroyo Grande adopted the updated General Plan which
became effective on October 9, 2001 and which includes the Housing Element adopted in
2003 and updated on March 8, 2005; and
WHEREAS, the City has a responsibility to assure adherence to the General Plan in
meeting the needs and desires of the residents and the community; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has conducted current initial
studies and concluded that environmental impacts associated with the project will be
mitigated to less than significant as outlined in a draft Mitigated Negative Declaration
dated June 28, 2007; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after public hearing, consideration of the draft Mitigated
Negative Declaration, all testimony and evidence presented, finds the Mitigated
Negative Declaration appropriate and adequate pursuant to State and local CEQA laws
and guidelines including requirements per SB 18; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after public hearing, consideration of staff report, all
testimony and evidence presented, recommended certain amendments to the
Development Code concerning the Medium-High Density and Office Professional land
use designation for the purposes of implementation of General Plan goals and policies;
� and
WHEREAS, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the City Council finds that
the following circumstances exist:
A. The proposed change in zone and revisions to Title 16 will satisfy Objective LU3
of the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which requires the City to
"Accommodate a broad range of Multiple Family Residential and special needs
housing types and densities within the City"; and including LU11-1.4 to "restrict
new urban single family, multiple family and mobile home uses to infill areas
adjacent to existing developments of similar density"; and objective LU4 which
states "Provide for a diversity of inedical facilities and professional office uses to
complement the character and service the population of Arroyo Grande by
0� � - f5
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE �.
designating as Office(0) appropriately located areas of the City"; and other
policies under objectives LU3 and LU4, and consistent with LU11 and is
therefore desirable to implement the provisions of the General Plan.
B. The proposed change in zone and revisions to Title 16 reflect that both
neighborhoods are adjacent or across from mixed use districts, and the
promotion of mixed use will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and

Dear Ms. McClish,
This is a letter of strong support for the endeavor of lonathan Fow M.D. regarding
acquisition of the office building direcUy across the street from the hospital on Halcyon
Road. Dr. Fow is an. Onhopedic surgeon with an active practice at Arroyo Grande
Community Hospital. The proximity to his patients in the post-operative period would be
ideal and would enhance the ability for quick response should medical needs arise.
This relocation of Dc Fow's practice would also funher complement the strategic
plan and long term goal of the hospital to provide an expanded medical campus on
Halcyon Rd. with more comprehensive services for the community.
Thank you for your consideration and attention.
Sincerely,
�� � ��

Community Development Staff, � - " ' '
In continuing my conversation with Rob Strong and Teresa McCfish, I have requested
that said properties be rezoned from Single Family medium density to Multi Family
medium density. Although this area has not been included in the Design Overlay District
Map I believe lhat this area deserves attention. A change in the zoning would bring the
area in line with the surrounding neighborhood.
Since living on South Elm St., I have witnessed block after block azound this area
receive significant attention while West South Elm St. receive lirile, if any attention. West
South Elm St.,especially the first block from Poplaz to Ash is one of the most diverse
sections of Arroyo Grande:Single Family, Multi Family, Senior Housing, and
Condominiums make up this small area, yet we aze still recognized as single family
zoning.
An example of change within just one-hundred and fifiy yards from my home aze:
, eleven single family units across the sUeet from my residence, a new church, and ttuee
just completed units on Maple St and Pine. A zone change for this block of South Elm
would allow for future single family in-fill and bring the azea in line the updates of the
surrounding areas.

MM 1.1: A Phase I Cultural Resource?Study must be conducted for the project area at
the time of discretionary project review or grading.for any development or redevelopment approvals
for Site 1 and such approvals must only be considered after implementation of mitigation measures
based on the recommendations in the phase I report and the following: In the event that previously
unidentified potentially significant cultu�al resources are discovered, an archaeologist shall have the
authority to divert or temporarily haft ground distu�bance operations in the area of discovery to allow
evaluation of potentially significant cultural'iresources in consultation with Northem Chumash Tribal
Council. For significant cultural resourcesi, a Research Design and Data Recovery Program to
mitigate impacts shall be prepared by the;consulting archaeologist and approved by the City, then
carried out using professional aFchaeological methods. If

If it can be demonstrated that a project will, cause damage to a unique archaeological resource, the
City may require reasonable efforts to be made topermit any orall of thses resources to be preserved
in place or left in an undisturbed state. Examples of that treatment, in no order of preference, may
include but are not limited to, any of the following: '
,,
(1) Planning construction to avoid�cultural resources;
,�
(2) Deeding cultural resources into pemianent conservation easements.
'�
(3) Capping or covering cultural resources with a layer of soil before building on the sites.
;
(4) Planning parks, greenspace, or othe�open space to incorporate archeological sites;
i
- �
(5) Excavation as mitigatiori shalf be restricted to those parts of the unique cultural resource that
would be damaged or destroyed by 4he project. Excavation as mitigation shall not be requi�ed
for a unique archaeological resource if the City determines the testing or studies already
completed have adequately recove�ed the scientifically consequential information from and
about the resource, if this determina4ion is documented in the environmental document.

Explanation. The project would haye the�potential to add six (6) additional dwelling,units to Site 2
tlirough Planned Unit Developments on existing properties, or—if lot mergers were to .occur—a
maximum of 10.5 additional dwelling` units to the City's housing stock. The project would decrease
the density potentiai by a total 'of 10 "dwelling units on Site 1. .The project would potentially increase
the potential'building intensity for on site 1!,ifor mixed use capability although the potential density is
. decreased. Because such growth is consi'stent with anticipated growth based on the City's General
' Plan and General Plan EIR, and will occur in the existing urban core, this impact is considered to be

Explaination. Wastewater disposal for .the p�oject will be managed by extending the City's
' wastewater collection system to the service'�the project. The South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation
District (SSLOCSD) provides wastewater collection and treatment services for the Cities of Arroyo
Grande, Grover Beach and the unincorporated community of Oceano, and owns and maintains all of
the main sewer trunk lines. All new developments are required to obtain approval from the SSLOCSD
for the developmenYs impact to District facilities. ',

Setting. The City currently receives its water supply from both surface and groundwater sources.
' Ground water extractions are derived from-,�seven (7) wells and two (2) separate basin formulations.
Surtace water is obtained from the Lopez Reservoir;Project, which was constructed in the late 1960's.
Reclaimed storm water collected by"the Soto Sports Complex Storm Water Reclamation Project is
also used as an irrigation supply source. The City adopted a Water System Master Plan in 1999,
which identified water resources as being a significant issue, and identified methods to increase and
diversify water supply to increase long-term' reliabili4y of the City's water service to its residents. The
report assessed potential methods to address the water supply issue and prioritized alternatives. The
project is not anticipated to increase water demand for the City.

was reviewed for consistency with policy and/or regulatory documents relating to the environment and
appropriate land use (e.g., City!s Land Use Element; Development Code, Zoning Map, etc.). Because
the project involves revisiorrto 4hese codes;lafter adop4ion it will be consistent with them; therefore, no
mitigation measures are required. 1

TO: CITY COUNCIL �
FROM: MICHAEL E. HUBERT, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND FIRE
BY: JOHNATHAN R. HURST, BUILDING OFFICIAL
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
ARROYO GRANDE MUNICIPAL' CODE AS IT RELATES TO BUILDING
AND CONSTRUCTION CODES
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council introduce the attached ordinance amending Arroyo
Grande Municipal Code Section 8.04.010 related to the adoption of the California Fire
Code and International Fire Code, adding Section 8.04.020 related to automatic fire
sprinklers, amending Section 15.04.010 related to the adoption of the California Building
Code, California Electrical Code, California Mechanical Code, California Plumbing
Code, California Existing Building Code, and the International Property Maintenance
Code and repealing and amending provisions'within Titles 8,12,15, and 16 for internal
consistency and clarification.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The State's Health and Safety Code requires local governments to adopt the most
recent editions of the model codes related to construction. The construction codes
include: the California Building, Fire, Plumbing, Mechanical and Electrical Codes, and
other related codes. If the City Council approves the proposed Ordinance, the most
recent editions of the construction codes with the applicable amendments will be in
effect within the City of Arroyo Grande as required by State law. The most significant
change to the fire code is the introduction of a fire sprinkler ordinance. The cities of
Grover Beach and San Luis Obispo currently require fire sprinkler system installations in
structures greater than 1,000 square feet. The City of Atascadero requires all newly
constructed occupancies to be fire sprinklered. It is becoming more common for
municipalities with limited fiscal resources to adopt stricter fire codes and prevention
practices that mitigate the community's fire risk.

Fire sprinklers have provided an outstanding safety record in industrial, commercial, and
institutional applications for over 100 years. I Residential fire sprinkler systems have
been in place since the 1970's. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) statistics
show that in a home equipped with a residential fire sprinkler system and smoke
detectors, survivability of a fire is elevated to 95 percent. Statistics also indicate that a
sprinkler system will extinguish or control a fire at or near its point of origin 91 percent of
the time.
The activation of a fire sprinkler system greatly limits the production of carbon monoxide
and keeps the fire temperature tolerable by extinguishing or keeping the fire small. Heat
from a fire will activate the sprinkler system usually within two to three minutes. Only
the heads directly above the fire will activate (usually limited to one or two heads) each
discharging between 10 - 26 gallons of water per minute. Hose lines used by fire
suppression personnel for interior firefighting will each discharge 125 to 200 gallons of
water per minute. Without fire sprinklers, by the time the Fire Department arrives on the
scene, the fire has potentially grown to a size requiring multiple hose lines. It is a fact
that sprinkler systems can save lives, but they also limit fire and water damage.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Introduce the attached Ordinance;
- Modify the Ordinance to amend or remove proposed new fire sprinkler
requirements and then introduce;
- Make other modifications as appropriate and approve staffs recommendation;
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The State's Health and Safety Code (Section 17958) mandates that the California
Building Standards Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards
Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) every three (3) years. The 2007 Edition
of the California Code of Regulations Title 24, which incorporates the below-listed
model codes, becomes effective statewide on January 1, 2008. If approved, the
proposed ordinance would amend Chapters 8.04 and 15.04 by repealing references to
the prior editions of the Construction Codes. It will also repeal and amend provisions
within Titles 8, 12, 15 and 16 for internal consistency and clarifications.

The list below identifies the model codes upon which the 2007 Title 24 is based:
California Buildinq Standards Code Reference Model Code
2007 California Building Code 2006 International Building Code (ICC)
2007 California Fire Code 2006 International Fire Code (ICC)
2007 California Plumbing Code 2006 Uniform Plumbing Code (IAPMO)

2007 California Electrical Code 2005 National Electrical Code (NFPA)
2007 California Existing Building Code 2006 International Existing Building
(Found in CBC, Part 10, Vol. II) Code (ICC)
The construction codes proposed for adoption by reference with amendments include
the following:
2007 California Building Code
2007 California Fire Code
2007 California Plumbing Code
2007 California Mechanical Code
2007 California Electrical Code
2007 California Existing Building Code
The 2006 International Property Maintenance Code is also proposed for adoption by
reference with amendments. This code is based upon and is consistent with the
provisions found in the California Building Code. The benefit of adopting this additional
code is to provide building and fire inspectors/officials and plan examiners with further
clarification of the intent and the applicability of the California Building Code when
presented with a variety of construction issues.
The Department of Building and Fire is recommending that these changes and
modifications be made to the Codes and are advising that certain changes and
modifications to the 2007 Editions of the California Building, Fire, Plumbing, Mechanical,
Electrical and Existing Building Code are reasonably necessary due to local conditions
in the City of Arroyo Grande. Other modifications are of an administrative or procedural
nature and concern themselves with subjects that are not covered by the Codes or are
reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City of Arroyo Grande.
The proposed ordinance sets forth a number of findings that are necessary to enable
the City to amend the new building and related codes to meet the City's local conditions.
The proposed ordinance updates Sections of the Municipal Code by amending the 2007
editions of the California Building, Fire, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical Code.

in past years, the California Building Standards Commission adopted the Uniform
Codes published by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO). These
codes and other national codes have been replaced nationwide by the new International
Codes published by the International Code Council (ICC). The California Building
Standards Commission has elected to adopt these International codes, thus bringing
the State of California in line with codes that are being adopted and utilized throughout
the rest of the nation.
As a result of this Ordinance, fire sprinklers would be required in the following locations:
1. All new buildings or structures where the total floor area exceeds 1,000 (one
thousand) square feet.
2. Throughout structures where additions to existing buildings adds more than 50% of
the existing square footage to the structure and results in a total square footage in
excess of 1,000 (one-thousand) square feet.
3. Throughout existing structures where alterations encompass more than 50% of the
existing square footage of the structure and is in excess of 1,000 (one-thousand)
square feet or where there is a change of occupancy to a more hazardous use.
These requirements will be applicable to the combined square footage of all building
� permits issued for the address or site within tfie last five years. Buildings or structures
separated by less than ten (10) feet shall be considered as a single building or
structure.
ADVANTAGES:
The adoption of this ordinance will keep the City of Arroyo Grande current and
compliant with State law in regards to construction and building codes. The adoption of
a fire sprinkler provision is intended to stop or retard fires, thus requiring less apparatus
and personnel than would normally be required. The adoption of this ordinance will also
lower our ISO rating, which has the potential of lowering insurance rates citywide.
DISADVANTAGES:
These codes become effective and are mandated by State law whether or not the local
jurisdiction formally adopts them. An increase in construction costs to developers for the
installation of the automatic sprinkler system will also be a factor. At the present time,
cost of a home sprinkler system is targeted at approximately $1.00 to $1.50 per square
foot in new construction and up to 50 percent more to retrofit an existing home.

EXHIBIT "A"
Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7, the City of Arroyo
Grande ("City") hereby modifies Section 903 of the California Fire Code and Sections
3402 and 3403 of the California Building Code (collectively referred to herein as
"Amendments"), which are more restrictive in nature than those found in the those
sections adopted by the State of California and are based on the local climatic,
geological, or topographical conditions and findings (collectively "Findings") referenced
hereinbelow.
The Amendments, address the fire problem(s),and building problem(s), concem(s), and
future direction(s), by which the City can establish and maintain an environment which
will afford an adequate level of fire and life safety protection to its citizens and guests.
The Findings contained herein shall address each of the Amendments and shall present
the local situation, which either singularly or in combination, create the need for the
Amendments to be adopted.
CLIMATIC:
Climatically, the City has dry warm summer and early fall conditions (as well as
moderate late fall and winter conditions) with dry winds which remove moisture from
vegetation. Further, the City frequently experiences Santa Ana wind conditions which
exacerbate fire hazards and potential spread ,of fire within the area, both in rural and
urban settings..
GEOGRAPHIC:
Geographically, the City is located in an area prone to frequent seismic activity which
has a high potential for large scale, simultaneous building and infrastructure damage,
including fire. A major seismic event would create a community-wide demand on fire
protection services, which would be beyond the response capability of the Fire
Department. This potential problem can be partially mitigated by requiring initial fire
control through the installation of automatic fire protection systems. Further, the City
has numerous older and historic buildings and structures which can often fail due to
moderate seismic activity. Additions, alterations and repairs of these antiquated
structures need to be properly addressed.
Additionally, the many foothills and surrounding mountains are prime sites for residential
development. These hillside residential sites, t;ogether with isolated rural and semi-rural
settings of the City, create difficult conditions in which to provide immediate fire
response.
The City is heavily vegetated throughout and encourages native wildlife protection and
enhancement. As the community is developing and housing densities increase, the
planting of shrubs and trees and other landscape is encouraged to beautify and
enhance City living conditions. However, this 'increased density results in much higher
fuel loads and together with increased pla�nting, and when combined with native
� �a� l3
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 9
vegetation, significantly increases fire hazards and fire spreading from one dwelling or
structure to another.
TOPOGRAPHIC:
The topographic element of these findings is closely associated with the geographical
elements noted above. While the geographic features create the topographic conditions,
the findings in this section are, for the most part, a result of the construction and design
of the City.
Highway 101 completely traverses and bisects the City. There are only three
over/underpasses allowing access to either side of the City. These physical barriers
create significant barriers to emergency response.
With limited parking and as the community grows and commercial activity increases in
the City, delivery and other vehicles tend to double park. When added to already narrow
streets, cars parked on the sides of streets and traffic congestion (especially around
rush hour), emergency response times are highly affected.
The City encourages and emphasizes affordable housing development. This creates
buildings that provide minimum required clearances between structures and maximum
allowable height. Although these buildings are built with more stringent standards, the
reality is that this type of development creates significant barriers in terms of access and
fuel load for fire fighting purposes. ,
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
The City has limited resources, in terms of fire fighting capabilities and due to the
conditions noted above, need for additional fire protections are necessary. A report by
the Institute for Local Self-Government, entitle'd "Alternative to Traditional Public Safety
Delivery Systems" finds that a fire chief must move toward built-in private fire protection
equipment and systems if he/she is to control the fire department operational budget
and the community fire protection problem. '
This study, using guidelines from the Institute for Local Self-Government and the
National Fire Protection Association, proposed that the fire department control fires in all
new structures built within the City. This could be accomplished by using an established
first alarm assignment that will not create a deficiency in the fire protection services
offered to the already established community. ,
This ordinance and future ordinances of the� same kind should reduce the need for
additional publicly funded fire protection and allow the City to grow with an adequate
level of fire protection.
