ORDINANCE NO. 357
AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
PROHIBITING APPROVAL OF LOT SPLITS, PARCEL MAPS,
OR OTHER ENTITLEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL PARCELS
IN THE HILLCREST DRIVE AREA PENDING STUDY OF
CONTEMPLATED ZONING PROPOSALS
TO INCREASE MINIMUM PARCEL SIZE
I
WHEREAS, this Council desires within a reasonable time t~
study proposed and contemplated zoning proposals to increase the
minimum lot size in the Hillcrest Drive area to protect the
public health, safety and welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARROYO
GRANDE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1
This Council hereby finds and declares that it is necessary
and appropriate for the City to contemplate and study zoning
proposals to increase the minimum lot sizes in the hillside
residential area generally described as along Hillcrest Drive
between Sierra Drive and Newport Avenue, and as more specifically
described and depicted within the shaded area shown on the
Exhibit "A" map attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Section 2
I
Pursuant to the authority of California Government Code
65858, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other City
ordinance, regulation, or plan, the City Council hereby orders
I that no permits, approvals, or other entitlements shall be
granted or issued during the effective period of this ordinance
for any lot split, parcel map, subdivision or any other
entitlement which would allow the'creation of new or additional
parcels or residential units in the shaded area depicted upon the
Exhibit "A" map; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
construed or applied to prohibit the right of any parcel owner to
have one residential unit on each parcel of record.
Section 3
Upon adoption by a four-fifths vote of the Council, this
ordinance shall become effective immediately as an interim
urgency ordinance for the protection of the public health, safety
and welfare. The reasons for the urgency ordinance include the
I
Ou PAGE 2 ORDINANCE 357 C.S.
fact that the City has denied an application for a par~el map
(lot split) and the property owner has threatened litigation
against the City; the City needs time to study and decide whether
or.not a proposed zoning ordinance which increases minimum lot
size and reduces parcel splitting is more appropriate for this I
sensitive and scenic residential area. The Council finds that
the proposed lot split and the potential for additional lot
splits in the study area pose a current and immediate threat to
the pUblic health, safety or welfare, and that the approval of
additional subdivisions, parcel maps, or lot splits in the
interim period would result in a threat to the public health,
safety or welfare.
Section 4
This Ordinance shall be in effect for 45 days after its
adoption; provided that the Ordinance effectiveness may be
further extended in accordance with Government Code 65858.
Section 5
Within fifteen (IS) days after its passage, this ordinance
, shall be published once, together with the names of the Council
Members voting thereon, in a newspaper of general circulation
within the City, but failure to publish for any reason shall not I
effect the validity of the Ordinance.
On motion of Council Member Johnson, seconded by Council ,I
Member Millis, and on the following roll call vote, to wit:
AYES: Counci 1 Members Johnson, Mill is, Moots and Mayor Mank i ns
NOES: None
ABSENT: Council Member Porter
the foregoing Ordinance was passed and adopted at this reading on
the 14th day of July, 1987.
