APPLICANT- KIRBY GORDON; REPRESENTATIVE —
JEFFREY EMRICK
WHEREAS, the applicant has filed 1) Development Code Amendment 17-001 to amend
Ordinance No. 355 C.S. "Royal Oaks Estates" to increase the maximum allowed density
within Planned Development 1.3 zoning district; and 2) Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16-
001 for a seven (7) lot residential subdivision; and
WHEREAS, on March 21, 2017 the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande
held a duly noticed public hearing and recommended that the City Council approve
Development Code Amendment 17-001 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16-001 in

and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the project at a duly noticed public hearing on
, 2017; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the
following circumstances exist:
Vesting Tentative Tract Map Findings:
1. The proposed tentative tract map is consistent with goals, objectives, policies,
plans, programs, intent and requirements of the Arroyo Grande General Plan, as
well as any applicable specific plan, and the requirements of this title.
The proposed tract map would allow the subdivision of 7.52 acres into seven
(7) lots for the development of single-family detached housing that is
consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, plans, programs, intent and
requirements of the Arroyo Grande General Plan. The subdivision would
allow housing at a density and design that is compatible with the nearby
residential neighborhood and other surrounding land uses.
RESOLUTION NO.
PAGE 2
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed.
The site is 7:52 acres of vacant land adjacent to existing residential
development, and is physically suitable for single family residential
development as a residential infill location.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The site is physically suitable as designed for the density of development
proposed because the required lot sizes for lots located on slopes are met
and the lot sizes are compatible with the adjacent development patterns.
4. The design of the tentative tract map or the proposed improvements are not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The proposed tract map has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the
Arroyo Grande Rules and Procedures for implementation of CEQA and the
impacts of the proposed project have been included in a Mitigated Negative
Declaration that includes mitigation measures that will reduce potential
impacts to a less than significant level.
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision would result in a development of appropriate
density, consistent with the density of adjacent residential uses, and would
include all necessary infrastructure, roadways improvements, and parking.
6. The design of the tentative tract map or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements acquired by the public-at-large for access through, or use of,
property within the proposed tentative tract map or that alternate easements for
access or for use will be provided, and that these alternative easements will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public.
There are no easements for the public-at-large currently on the subject
property. Appropriate utility infrastructure easements and emergency access
will be provided and recorded to ensure adequate access is maintained for
emergency response purposes.
7. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing
community sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements as
prescribed in Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the California
Water Code.
RESOLUTION NO.
PAGE 3
The proposed discharge of waste into the existing system is conditioned to
meet requirements.
8. Adequate public services and facilities exist or will be provided as the result of
the proposed tentative tract map to support project development.
There are adequate provisions for public services to serve the project
development and no deficiencies exist. The provisions for water, sanitation
and public utilities were examined through the environmental review process,
and it was determined that adequate public services will be available for the
proposed project and will not result in adverse impacts.
Required CEQA Findings:
1. The City of Arroyo Grande has prepared an Initial Study pursuant to Section 15063
of the Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 16-001 (Tract 3079).
2. Based on the Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared
for public review. A copy of the MND and related materials is located at City Hall in
the Community Development Department.
3. After holding a public hearing pursuant to State and City Codes, and considering
the record as a whole, the City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence
of any significant adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively on wildlife
resources as defined by Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code or on the
habitat upon which the wildlife depends as a result of development of this project.
Further, the City Councils find that said MND reflects the City's independent
judgment and analysis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande hereby adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration, instructs the City Clerk to file a
Notice of Determination, and approves Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16-001 with the
above findings and subject to the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A" and as depicted in
Exhibits "B1 — B2", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective on the effective

Lot Development Standards Table 9
Section 1: Design Goals
Setting
The Rodeo Court project comprises approximately 7.52 acres of residential land located in
the North Eastern portion of the City of Arroyo Grande. The site consists of a large graded
pad with slopes up to 2:1 around the perimeter of the pad.
Concept
The overall design concept is to provide an individual, unique and separate design for each
lot. While there may be similarities and consistencies in design detail, the overall concept is
to have each lot provide a different, or varied by architectural component selection, exterior
color and roof configuration.
Intent
These design guidelines are intended to facilitate sensitive and quality building designs that
compliment the project-setting. This is accomplished by providing flexible design and
development standards, which assures compatibility of scale and character within the
development without limiting imagination and individuality.All construction within the
development is subject to the provision of title 16 of the City of Arroyo Grande Municipal Code
and all applicable development standards, except as modified herein, by tract approval
documents or other City approvals.
Application
These design guidelines apply to all new construction and remodel projects within the tract.
All construction drawings must be reviewed by the Community Development Director for
consistency with these guidelines prior to issuance of a building permit through the
Architectural Review process. If the Community Development Director finds that the
construction drawings are inconsistent with these guidelines, the proponent may appeal the
Director's finding to the Planning Commission.
1
Section 2: Site Design
Drainage
Historically, storm water and drainage has drained from the site to the adjacent regional
detention basin. Each residence will be required to mitigate storm water flows in conformance
with City of Arroyo Grande standards and Regional Water Board requirements
Low Impact Development measures will be required on each lot to mitigate and control the
increased storm water impacts from the residences. A number of options may be
implemented by the property owners and must be detailed on Architectural Design Review
applications.
Examples of storm water best management practices include detention basins, bioretention
planter boxes, rain barrels, rain gardens, dry wells, disconnected down spouts, cistern water
collection and storage.
Grading
It is the intent of the project to minimize grading for structure development and outdoor
spaces and maximize opportunities for storm water infiltration. Grading on Lots 1 and 2 to
integrate the residence with the existing slope will be required.
Building Envelopes
Building envelopes have been developed to minimize the impact of the residences on views
across the tract and maximize the view potential for each lot.
In an effort to provide visual interest to the relationship between structure and street,
horizontal building wall articulation is encouraged. Additionally, vertical building articulation to
step the building mass at multistory designs is desired. Providing a varied roof profile with
roof lines generally lower at the edges of the building and graduating in height as they move
towards the interior of the building can achieve this effect.
Based on site constraints, building sites shall generally conform to the Single Family
Residential (SF) zoning standards with the following setbacks. For lots 1-3 and 5-7 a required
20' front setback and 10' side yard setback is required. The rear setback is limited to the
building envelope. For Lot 4 a 10' setback on all sides is required with the exception of the
rear yard which is defined by the building envelope.
Construction within the drip line area of oak trees is not allowed, unless an exception is made
by the Community Development Director based on a design specific tree protection plan
prepared by a certified arborist.
Building Heights
Building height limits for Lots 1-5 shall be per City of Arroyo Grande Development Code (25
feet from original grade) and 15 feet from the finish floor elevation noted on the Tentative Map
(219.5 for Lot 6 and 218.5 for lot 7).
2
Section 3: Building Design
Style and Character
While no particular design style is required, it is encouraged that all designs be consistent
with an overall character, or vocabulary of acceptable details. Architectural styles shall be low
profile at all lots. Detailing and materials appropriate to the chosen styles are envisioned and
include, but are not limited to Farmhouse, Craftsman, Cottage, Bungalow, Prairie and Spanish
Eclectic. Inappropriate styles include Victorian, Tudor and Colonial due to high roof pitches
and/or flat 2 story wall planes to replicate the style. Mid Century Modern styles with flat or
mansard roofs are not appropriate.
Driveways and Garages
The concept of"street elevation" is encouraged. As such, it is recommended that a variety of
garage locations be considered. These include front loaded, side loaded in the front yard area
and rear yard locations (front, side and rear loading). Garages may be attached or detached,
depending on overall building design and/or site constraints. These variations will provide a
more individual look and varied site plan for the project.
Outdoor storage of recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, etc., is not permitted unless such
vehicles are stored in covered or enclosed structures or located in yard areas screened from
public view.
Lots 4 and 5 are required to provide an emergency vehicle turnaround.
Architectural Features
The use of architectural features such as porches, arbors,trellises and garden walls are
encouraged to assist in building articulation. Articulation and varying finish materials, either
horizontally or vertically, should minimize large single plan wall expanses (i.e. masonry
veneer or wainscot, varied siding materials, etc.).
Articulation
The use of varying ridge heights, wall planes and roof articulations provides variety to the
overall building mass. Roof elements such as dormers may also be used to break up large
roof masses. Primary roof planes should be low pitched (3:12 to 6:12). Eave lines shall be
dominantly horizontal.
Homes constructed on lots 5-7 shall have detailed articulation and/or additional screening on
the rear building elevation facing the street to improve the aesthetic views from Grace Lane
and Rodeo Drive.
Entries
Entries shall be architecturally defined, appropriately detailed and obvious with a defined
walkway from the public right of way, or off the approach driveway area. Entries should be
covered and complimented with obvious enhancements such as porches, courtyards, flatwork
finished, windows, etc.
3
Garage Doors
Garage door styles shall be detailed appropriately to enhance the chosen architectural style.
Recessed double car or staggered single car garage doors are encouraged.
Exterior Materials
Exterior materials such as horizontal siding, board and batt siding, shingles or plaster are
appropriate. Plaster may be used as appropriate to a specific style (i.e. Spanish eclectic,
Bungalow, etc.); however, detailing and articulation are required. Masonry (either brick, split
faced concrete block, or any articulated masonry material) can be utilized as a veneer, or
compliment, to exterior stucco or siding finishes.
Exterior Colors
Exterior colors should create visual compatibility between the structures and the natural
surroundings. Exterior colors should be of individually coordinated palettes. Simple color
schemes consisting of a maximum of 3 colors are recommended. Masonry materials have
distinct coloring and shall be considered as an element of the color palette. The use of
natural materials is encouraged.
Roof Materials
Roof coverings appropriate for use include clay tile, concrete tile or dimensional shingle
roofing. Metal or flat shingle roofing is not appropriate. All flashing, sheet metal, vents and
pipe stacks shall be painted to match the adjacent roof or wall material. Exposed copper is
also allowed. Skylights and sun tunnels shall be low profile, flat panel glazed. Solar collector
panels, if used, shall be low profile and installed planar with roof surfaces. Panels shall be
incorporated into roof design and installed flush with roof materials where possible.
Roof Drainage
Gutters and downspouts shall be installed on all roof areas to control water generated during
a storm event. Gutters and downspouts shall be color coordinated with the structure.
Individual disbursement methods are to be determined based upon each individual property
constraints; however, each property shall disburse the water from impervious surfaces to City
approved swales, catchment, or containment devices. It is recommended that storm water
from down spouts be directed to a rain garden, rain barrel or cistern for reuse.
Trash Containers
Trash, Recycle and Greenwaste containers shall be screened from public view with materials
that are architecturally compatible with the main structure, except on pick-up day.
Mechanical Equipment
Equipment such as air conditioners, water treatment tanks, utility meters, etc. shall be
screened from neighboring lots or public view with materials that are architecturally
compatible with the main structure. Utility meters shall be located off of front facade, but
accessible per utility provider requirements.
Satellite Dishes and Antennas
No satellite dishes larger than 3 feet in diameter are permitted. Any antennas or permitted
satellite dishes shall be located to minimize public view as best possible. Antennas shall be
subject to City approval per Title 16 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code.
4
Fire Sprinklers
All residences shall have residential fire sprinkler system per California Building Code
requirements.
Lighting
Exterior lighting should minimize direct glare through the use of fixtures that direct light in a
downward direction. No lights are permitted on the top of any structure. All lighting fixtures
shall be compatible with the architectural character of the structure and meet California Green
Code and Uniform Building Code requirements.
Secondary Dwelling Units
Secondary dwelling units are allowed within the subdivision subject to State Law and Section
16.52.150 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code. Parking shall be provided on-site and
exclusive of required parking for the main residence.
Water Conservation
The use of water efficient plumbing fixtures, smart irrigation controllers, plumbing for grey
water reuse, on demand water heaters, etc. in conformance with the California Green Code
and California Building Code is required.
Energy Efficiency
The use of passive solar design, solar panels, high efficiency windows, solar water heaters
(and water heating systems), compact fluorescent or light emitting diode exterior lighting and
high efficiency HVAV systems is encouraged to meet the goals of the California Green Code
and California Energy Code.
5
Section 4: Site Improvements
Hardscape Areas
Incorporation of various types of pervious and impervious hardscape is encouraged with
variation and texture. Examples include colored concrete, tile, stone, pavers and brick.
Flatwork color, texture and type should relate to the architectural style and design of the
residence. Impervious coverage should be minimized to the extent possible via permeable
pavement materials or permeable pavers.
Landscaping
The retention of existing native Coast Live oak trees on the site, regardless of the size, is a
priority. Native and drought resistant plant types are to be utilized in all planting areas. All
landscaping shall meet the requirements of Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Chapter 16.84
(Water Efficient Landscape Requirements). Turf areas shall not exceed 25% of the
landscaped area in conformance with the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
Landscape materials shall compliment the architecture, fencing, walls and other aspects on
the site. Selection of plant materials should take maintenance into consideration. Irrigation
design must respect the varying water requirements of the plant materials.
The landscape plan for each lot shall include eradication of the existing Pampas Grass on
site. This is a quick growing grass that forms massive clumps along roadsides, steep slopes,
and open areas that have been disturbed by human activities or natural disturbances.
Pampas Grass is an invasive plant species that spreads easily and is difficult to eliminate.
Therefore, all property owners shall be responsible for implementing measures to remove this
grass to help prevent its spreading or re-establishment.
New trees should be strategically located on site to provide a vertical complement to the
Architectural massing and where shade is important for window placement and outdoor uses.
All planting areas shall include permanent automatic irrigation with separately zoned areas.
Irrigation shall be achieved primarily through a drip system and spray irrigation shall be
minimized.
The landscape plan for lots fronting on Grace Lane (Lots 5 and 6) and Rodeo Drive (Lots 1
and 7) shall include native and/or Mediterranean plant material (trees, shrubs, ground cover)
that provides a natural looking landscape along the sloped street frontage. The soil will need
to be amended appropriately to encourage successful plant establishment.
Fencing
Fencing and walls shall be incorporated with each specific architectural design approval
package. Fencing in public areas shall have a similar design theme and design shall not be
primarily comprised of ornamental iron fencing. Walls, fences or retaining walls shall
compliment the architectural style of the home. Privacy and defining areas for outdoor space
is a primary function for location and vertical height. Fencing may be various forms of wood
fencing (either solid or open), vinyl, ornamental welded metal (not including chain link) or
masonry. (See Fencing Exhibit on page 8).
6
Tract perimeter fencing shall be split rail with no climb mesh wire similar to fencing found in.
Rancho Grande Estates.
Fencing and/or freestanding walls, either separately or combined shall not exceed six feet in
height without prior City permit approval. View protection is an important element for
determining fence heights, as is privacy of the occupants. All property owners should work
together to minimize obstruction of views and maximize outdoor area privacy during the
design review process.
