SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE MAKING ADMINISTRATIVE
UPDATES TO VARIOUS SECTIONS OF TITLE 2 (ADMINISTRATION
AND PERSONNEL), TITLE 10 (VEHICLES & TRAFFIC), TITLE 12
(STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND PUBLIC PLACES), AND TITLE 16
(DEVELOPMENT CODE) OF THE ARROYO GRANDE MUNICIPAL
CODE (DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT NO. 18-004); LOCATION
CITYWIDE
DATE: OCTOBER 9, 2018
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The proposed “clean-up” Ordinance will provide code consistency with actions recently
taken by the City Council to disband certain City advisory bodies.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no impact on financial and personnel resources.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended by the Planning Commission that the City Council introduce an
Ordinance making administrative updates to various sections of Titles 2, 10, 12, and 16
of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code to reassign duties previously assigned by the
Arroyo Grande Municipal Code to the Traffic Commission, Historical Resources
Committee and Parks and Recreation Commission.
BACKGROUND:
On August 28, 2018 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 695 (Attachment 1), without
modification, repealing Chapters 2.21, 2.24 and 2.32 of Title 2 of the Arroyo Grande
Municipal Code (AGMC) to disband the Traffic Commission (TC), Parks and Recreation
Commission (PRC), and Historical Resources Committee (HRC); amending Chapter 2.18
of Title 2 relating to the Planning Commission and Historic Designation; and adding
Section 1.04.140 to Title 1 to transfer duties.
On September 18, 2018, the Planning Commission considered the proposed Ordinance
and recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
During the City Council’s consideration of Ordinance No. 695 to disband certain
committees and commissions, it was recognized that there would be a “clean-up”
Ordinance to follow that would ensure code consistency with Ordinance No. 695 and

remove references to the PRC, TC and HRC throughout the AGMC. These modifications
are minor in nature and not considered substantial changes in procedure or policy.
The proposed Ordinance provides amendments to Chapters 2.18; 2.20; 2.30; 10.12;
12.06; 12.16; 16.16; and 16.36. Because some of the amendments are included in Title
16, the Development Code, the Planning Commission was required to review it prior to
making a recommendation to the City Council. The majority of changes to Title16 include
those related to Minor Use Permit – Historic resource or district designation. Ordinance
No. 695 placed the guiding purposes in reviewing projects and historic designations into
the Planning Commission purview.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for City Council’s consideration:
1. Introduce the proposed Ordinance;
2. Modify and introduce the proposed Ordinance; or
3. Provide direction to Staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The advantage of the proposed Ordinance ensures code consistency with prior City
Council action.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages are identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of
the CEQA Guidelines that CEQA does not apply to projects where it can be seen with
certainty that the project will not have an impact on the environment.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2. At the time of report publication, no comments have
been received.

that the property owner does not consent to the application for a proposed
designation.

findings of fact can be made in an affirmative manner:

without a minor use permit and building permit, nor shall the building
official or planning commission grant any permit to carry out such work on
a historic resource, located in a historic district without the prior issuance
of a minor use permit—plot plan review pursuant to Section 16.16.080 of
this chapter. Decisions by the city pursuant to this section are
"discretionary" and relate to "discretionary projects" as these terms are
used in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Any permit,
including a building permit, or other city approval that would authorize any
change in the exterior of any proposed or designated historical resource,
or the exterior of any structure, building or significant feature within a
designated or proposed historic district, is a discretionary permit or
approval within the meaning of CEQA.
2. Ordinary Maintenance and Repair. Nothing in this chapter shall be
construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance and repair of any exterior
feature of any structure or property covered by this section, so long as
Item 10.a. - Page 7
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 6
such maintenance and repair does not involve a change in exterior design,
material or appearance.
3. Unsafe or Dangerous Conditions. None of the provisions of this section
shall prevent any measures of construction, alteration or demolition
necessary to correct the unsafe or dangerous conditions of any structure,
other feature or part thereof, where such condition has been declared
unsafe or dangerous by the building official or the fire chief, and where the
proposed measures have been declared necessary by such official, to
correct the condition; provided, however, that only such work as is
absolutely necessary to correct the unsafe or dangerous condition and as
is done with due regard for preservation of the appearance of the structure
involved may be performed pursuant to this section. In the event any
structure or other feature shall be damaged by fire, or other calamity, or by
act of God, to such an extent that in the opinion of the aforesaid officials it
cannot be reasonably repaired and restored, it may be removed in
conformity with normal permit procedures and applicable laws. If the
condition of an unsafe or dangerous historic resource, so permits, the
official in charge of overseeing correction of such a condition shall consult
with the HRC, ARC and community development director before carrying
out corrective measures.
4. Duty to Keep in Good Repair. The owner, lessees and any other person in
actual charge or possession of a historical resource shall take all steps
necessary to prevent:
a. The substantial deterioration or decay of any exterior portion of such a
resource;
b. The substantial deterioration or decay of any interior portions thereof
the maintenance of which is necessary to preserve any exterior
portion.
As used in this section, the term "substantial deterioration or decay" shall
refer to those conditions of the structure or improvement which threaten
the structural or historical integrity of the resource or improvement.
5. Showing of Extreme Hardship. If the applicant presents evidence clearly
demonstrating to the satisfaction of the HRC and community development
director that failure to approve the application for a minor use permit or
building permit will cause an immediate extreme hardship because of
conditions peculiar to the particular structure or other feature involved, the
planning commission may approve or conditionally approve such
application even though it does not meet the standards set forth in
subsection (E)(1) of this section. In determining whether extreme hardship
exists, the HRC community development director shall consider evidence
which demonstrates:
a. Denial of the application will diminish the value of the subject property
so as to leave substantially no value;
b. Sale or rental of the property is impractical, when compared to the cost
of holding such property for uses permitted in the zoning district;
c. Utilization of the property for lawful purposes is prohibited or
impractical; d. Rental at a reasonable rate of return is not feasible.

F. Additional Findings for the Alteration or Demolition of a Designated Historic
Resource.
In evaluating applications for the alteration of a designated historical
resource, with a recommendation by the HRC and ARC, or the
community development director, planning commission or city council,
upon appeal, shall consider the architectural style, design,
arrangement, texture, materials, color and other factors and shall
utilize the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating,
Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings. Proposed alterations
found consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines shall be
considered less than significant under the CEQA review process. The
community development director, planning commission or city council,
upon appeal, shall approve the issuance of a minor use permit for any
proposed alteration work if and only if it finds:
1. With regard to a historical resource the proposed work will neither
adversely affect the exterior architectural features of the resource nor
adversely affect the character or historical, architectural or aesthetic
interest or value of such resource and its site based upon consistency with
the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and
Reconstructing Historic Buildings.
2. With regard to any property located within a historic district, the proposed
work conforms to the standards for the district adopted by the HRC, and
does not adversely affect the character of the district.
3. The work is consistent with the provisions in subsection E of this section.
4. Demolitions. When application is made for a minor use permit or
demolition permit to demolish a historical resource the HRC, ARC,
community development director or planning commission disapproval of
the application shall mean that no development minor use permit or
demolition permit shall be issued or demolition allowed until review and
approval by the city is complete.
G. Historic Resource Protection Tax Incentives. In addition to any other incentive
of federal or state law, property owners of duly designated historic resources
may apply for Mills Act Historical Property Contracts ("Mills Act Contracts")
with the city. A Mills Act historic resource protection tax incentive program
may be established by city council resolution. This subsection will implement
state law (Government Code Sections 50280 et seq.), allowing the approval
of Mills Act Contracts by the city with owners of qualified historic properties
within the city.
