GRANDE APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 3018 LOCATED
AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF WEST BRANCH STREET AND OLD
RANCH ROAD COMPOSED OF FIVE LOTS, APPLIED FOR BY THE
CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
WHEREAS, the City of Arroyo Grande applied for Tentative Tract Map No. 3018 to
subdivide approximately 5.0 acres located at the northeast corner of West Branch Street
and Old Ranch Road into four (4) Single Family Residential lots and one (1) Public
Facility lot, within a portion of the area known as the South County Regional Center; and
WHEREAS, after due study, deliberation and public hearings conducted on April 7, July
7, July 21, August 18 and September 1, 2009, the Planning Commission has
recommended approval of General Plan Amendment and Development Code
Amendment (GPA DCA) Case No. 09 -001, including reclassification of approximately
one (1.0 acre of the subject property from Community Facilities to Single Family
Residential Medium Density and to rezone said portion of the five (5) acre property from
Public Facility (PF) district to Single Family Residential zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has found that the GPA/DCA Case No. 09 -001 and
Tentative Tract Map No. 3018 are consistent with the City's General Plan and
Development Code as amended; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed these proposals and this project 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 has
recommended adoption of a Mitigated Negative declaration for these projects; and
WHEREAS, on September 22, 2009, the City Council finds, after due study, deliberations
and public hearing that the following circumstances exist:
Tentative Tract Map Findings:
1. The proposed tentative tract map is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies,
plans, programs, intent and requirements of the Arroyo Grande General Plan and
the Development Code as amended.
The proposed tentative tract map will enable four (4) Single Family Residential lots
on a one (1) acre portion of a five (5) acre property southeast of Old Ranch Road
adjoining and as a transition to a potential Public Facility development on the large
corner lot at the northeast corner of West Branch Street and Old Ranch Road.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed.
The four (4) proposed residential lots are on sloping terrain, with a proposed lot
depth and width similar in size to the adjoining existing Single Family Residential
development of Royal Oak Estates, Tract No. 1390, and proposes residential
development similar to and compatible with existing houses as well as providing
transition to the potential Public Facility development.
RESOLUTION NO. 4219
PAGE 2
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The four (4) single family lots are on sloping terrain and are similar to the density of
the adjoining existing residential development and the potential Public Facility lot is
a relative large level parcel with access to West Branch Street and Old Ranch
Road, adjoining the existing Women's Community Center building and parking lots
to the east.
4. The design of the tentative tract map and the proposed improvements are not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The proposed Single Family Residential lots and the potential Public Facility
developments are located in and adjoin the South County Regional Center and
constitute infill development with existing streets and minor utility and other
infrastructure improvements having no impacts on fish or wildlife habitat.
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The residential and Public Facility uses will be served by existing and proposed
water, sewer, drainage, utilities and streets which are adequate for the potential
uses.
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 alternative easements will
be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public.
The existing public street and an access easement to Reservoir No. 1 provide for
primary access and secondary emergency access to the front and rear of the
residential Tots. Other public utilities, including existing water lines and proposed
sewer lines are provided easements to enable adequate services.
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.
The subdivision will comply with all City and South San Luis Obispo County
Sanitation District standards relating to sewer system design.
8. Adequate public services and facilities exist or will be provided as the result of the
proposed tentative tract map to support project development.
Development will constitute infill and utilize existing street, water and other
infrastructure and services and sewer, sidewalk and other improvements are
proposed as part of the tentative tract map to support project development.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande
hereby approves Tentative Tract Map No. 3018 subject to and effective upon the effective
date of Ordinance No. 612 and subject to the conditions set forth in "Exhibit A attached
