MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: TERESA McCLISH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BY: MATTHEW DOWNING, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 18-001;
CONSTRUCTION OF A 1,784 SQUARE FOOT ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNIT IN THE GENERAL AGRICULTURAL ZONING
DISTRICT; LOCATION – 1212 FLORA ROAD; APPLICANT – MURAT &
NANCY AKALIN; ARCHITECT – BILL ISAMAN, ISAMAN DESIGN
DATE: MAY 15, 2018
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approval of the Conditional Use Permit will result in the construction of a new 1,784
square foot accessory dwelling unit on a 5.08 acre parcel in the Agricultural zoning
district previously developed with a single-family residence and used for light
agricultural pastureland.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution approving
Conditional Use Permit 18-001.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is a 5.08 acre parcel located at 1212 Flora Road (Attachment 1).
The property is zoned Agriculture (AG), is currently developed with an approximately
1,860 sq. ft. single family home, and not currently being used for agricultural operations
other than pastureland. The property is surrounded by other Agricultural properties to
the north, west and east and shares a property line with two Single-Family zoned
properties to the south. The site is generally flat and is accessed from a private
driveway at the terminus of Flora Road, which is shared with two (2) adjacent
properties.
The proposed project consists of the construction of a new, custom built, 1,784 sq. ft.
accessory dwelling unit (ADU). A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for any ADU
on an AG zoned property. This is to provide an opportunity to review structure siting for

impacts to agriculture land. On residential parcels, ADUs are approved on a ministerial
basis via building permits.
Architectural Review Committee
The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) reviewed the proposed project at their
meeting of May 7, 2018. Members of the ARC were primarily reviewing the architecture
of the proposed ADU but took a specific look at structure siting during their
consideration and recommendation. The ARC was in support of the structure being
located where proposed due to the intersection of driveways on the private driveway,
utilities located further south adjacent to the existing Flora Road residences, and
ensuring the ability for light agriculture and grazing uses to continue. The ARC was in
support of including board and batten or horizontal shiplap siding instead of the
proposed stucco or mixed with stucco. The ARC recommended the Planning
Commission approve the project, with conditions of approval included in the prepared
Resolution.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
General Plan
The General Plan designates the subject property for Agricultural land uses.
Development of an ADU on AG zoned property presents the potential to impact long -
term agricultural operations supported by the General Plan Agriculture, Conservation,
and Open Space (A/C/OS) Element. The policies of the A/C/OS call for the preservation
of agriculturally-viable land and low maximum densities. However, the property is
smaller than the standard lot size of the AG zoning district, the proposed ADU provides
an additional housing opportunity in the City for aging relatives and other families in the
future, and is designed and located in such a fashion to avoid negatively impacting the
agricultural potential of the property to the greatest extent feasible. It should be noted
that the construction of an ADU on the site does not constitute conversion of agricultural
land due to the underlying land use designation remaining the same and additional
residential density not being allowable. As such, conversion po licies included in the
A/C/OS Element are not applicable to the proposed project.
The 2012 Bicycle and Trails Master Plan, which is incorporated into the General Plan
Circulation Element and Parks and Recreation Element , identifies the subject area at
the end of Flora Road for a proposed Class I bike path (Attachment 2). As such, for
General Plan consistency the proposed project has been conditioned to require a fifteen
foot (15’) pedestrian trial easement. Use of the easement for a bike path requires future
action by the City Council in the event a bicycle/pedestrian bridge is proposed across
Arroyo Grande Creek.
Development Standards
As discussed previously, the subject property is zoned AG. The intent of the AG Zoning
District is to “provide for and protect lands for agricultural crop production, grazing,
limited sales of agricultural products, and limited agricultural support industries and
services. This district is intended primarily as an area for the production of food and
PLANNING COMMISSION

fiber, but also permits single-family detached residential dwellings at a maximum
density of 1.0 dwelling unit per 10.0 gross acres, as well as temporary housing for farm
workers.” The proposed project does not negatively impact the property’s ability to be a
viable agricultural resource due to the proposed location of the ADU along the perimeter
of the parcel, adjacent to the roadway. As such, and as recommended by the ARC, the
location of the ADU maintains the property’s ability to be utilized for light agricultural
uses and pastureland into the future. The proposed ADU meets all development
standards of the AG zoning district. Note that some typical development standards or
residential zoning districts, including lot coverage and floor-area-ratio, are not required
standards of the AG zoning district.

Max Height 30 ft. ~ 21 ft. Code Met
Maximum Size
The Municipal Code does not have limitations on maximum size of an ADU for the AG
district. The proposed ADU is 1,784 sq. ft., which is larger than the typical 1,200 sq. ft.
maximum applied in residential zoning districts, where smaller lot sizes are located.
Additionally, the ADU is larger than 50% of the main structure, another standard for
ADUs in typical residential properties. In light of the scale of the property and as
recommended by the ARC, standards that are typically applied to properties ranging
between 5,000 and 50,000 sq. ft. are not necessarily appropriate for a property totaling
over 220,000 sq. ft. The proposed ADU will provide an additional housing opportunity in
the City for aging relatives on a property that is large enough to support two residential
units, and is located in such a way as to minimize, if not eliminate, any potential impacts
that may prevent the property from being utilized for agricultural purposes in the future.
Architecture
The structure is designed in a farmhouse style, with high pitched roofs and standing
seam metal porches and dormers. The proposed structure is designed wi th all four
elevations in mind by including detailing on all four planes. The ARC discussed a
preference for board and batten or horizontal shiplap siding instead of a primarily stucco
design. The garage door is front facing, albeit only visible from the shared driveway,
and emulates traditional carriage doors. A 439 sq. ft. covered deck is accessed throu gh
the rear of the structure, wrapping around the north and east facades. The roofing,
PLANNING COMMISSION
CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 18-001
MAY 15, 2018
PAGE 4
when not constructed with the standing seam metal, will be a composition shingle roof.
The applicant indicates that structure will be painted white with charcoal roof, w indows
and trim, which the ARC supported.
Trees and Landscaping
Landscaping is shown on the proposed plans but is not identified. However, the
landscaping depicted appears to include densely planted shrubbery and four (4) new
trees. The ARC commented that keeping the landscaping close to the structure was
appropriate to refrain from infringing upon the remainder of the parcel; however, the
ARC also commented that maintaining defensible space or utilizing landscaping that
does not act a fire ladder is important for protection of the structure in a rural setting.
The project has been conditioned for the final landscape and lighting plans to return to
the ARC for a recommendation to the Community Development Director prior to building
permit issuance.
ADVANTAGES:
The proposed project will add an additional housing unit in the City that will provide an
opportunity for the ability for a family member to live on-site with the applicant while
maintaining the ability for light agriculture and pasture uses to continue on the site.
DISADVANTAGES:
The proposed ADU will create additional housing stock on an agricultural property, a
zoning district not identified for additional density by the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project was reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt per Section 15 303(a) of the
Guidelines regarding new construction of an accessory dwelling unit.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENT:
A notice of public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 300’ of the project
site, was published in The Tribune, and posted at City Hall, on the City’s website, and at
the project site on Friday, May 4, 2018. The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on t he
City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. Three (3)

Our Greenwood/Flora/Tanner area is still unspoiled which is why we moved here 15 years ago. I am
dismayed to see this notice for another house wanting to be built on good ag land. 1212 Flora Road.
An old neighbor who owned 1189 Flora was refused some years ago when he wanted to build 1 more
house on his 10 acres. The then owners of 1273 Branch Mill were also refused some years ago.
I for one do not want the construction trucks/personnel coming up and down Flora from Coach which is
the easiest way in and out, nor do I want another house being built in this lovely area.
Respectfully.

Good Evening Matt,
Thank you for returning my call the other day. As you requested in your message, I'm providing the concerns I
mentioned to you in my voice mail to you in writing. Please let me know if this is the proper method of
providing information to the Planning Commission so that it may be included in their review of the proposal.
I have two concerns regarding the proposed construction of the additional dwelling unit on the property.
1. My first concern is that of access to our property at 1189 Flora Road. Access to our property is provided
through an easement that crosses the property of 1212 Flora Road and 1167 Flora Road. We are concerned the
additional house will generate additional traffic on a single lane driveway. We ask that the applicant be required
to construct a two lane driveway to the point that the driveway is no longer shared. Access to 1212 Flora and
1189/1167 Flora was previously provided through via two separate driveways. The applicant removed the
driveway that provided access to 1212 Flora Road in 2017 and began to use the driveway that provides access
to 1189/1167 Flora Road for access to their property as well. A satellite image of the property that shows the
two driveways as they previously existed is attached. I respectfully ask the planning commission to ensure the
free and unfetter access to our property as provided in our easement is maintained by requesting the
applicant construct a driveway of sufficient width to allow vehicles to pass one another to the point that the
driveways are no longer shared. A two lane driveway would ensure unrestricted access to 1167, 1189, 1212 and
XXXX Flora Road is maintained for current and future property owners.
2, My second concern is the size of the dwelling being proposed. The second full sized house would be
constructed on one of the few remaining agriculture zoned properties withing city limits. A smaller dwelling
would be more in keeping with what I believe is the purpose of preserving the appearance and use of
agricultural property within the city limits. I fully support the desire of the Akalins to construct a home for their
parents to live on the property together as an extended family. It is an ideal situation that many of us would like
to be able to provide for our parents. My concern stems more from second or third owners of the property who
may not see the second full size home as a home for their extended family, but may use it as a rental property
and essentially create two separate and distinct homes that will more closely resemble two large suburban lots
than an agricultural property.
Thank you for your time and for allowing me the opportunity to share my concerns with proposed additional
dwelling unit at 1212 Flora Road.

Hey Kelly.
Can you answer a question for me. We received a notice regarding a conditional use permit for 1212
Flora. Have they provided exactly where on their property they plan to build this house?
We along with several other neighbors have concerns about our view, increased traffic, and setting a
precedence, etc., etc. Fyi, the only reason we purchased our home (over asking price) over three years ago was
because the land behind us was zoned ag and we knew we could depend on the city to preserve ag and our view
would never be altered. It was a main selling point listed by the Realtors and family selling this home.
Many of us will be at the meeting and / or will have written in opposition of this request.
We would like to know a bit more before writing our letter.
Thanks and see you this afternoon. Viv
