ELECTION OF PLANNING COMMISSION CHAIRMAN TO REPLACE M. P. (Pete) GALLAGHER Vice Chairman Carr stated that since the Commission's Chairman, Mr. Gallagher, has been appointed to the City Council, it is necessary to elect a new chairman. He noted that since one member of the Commission is absent tonight, the Commission may want to postpone the election until a full Commission is present. On motion by Commissioner Soto, seconded by Commissioner Brandy, and unanimously carried, election of chairman was continued to the next meeting when, hopefully, a full Commission will be present. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Jim McGillis, 238 W. Branch Street, stated he is here on behalf of the Ikedas and the Sunny Gardens Subdivision near Strother Park. Mr. McGillis presented a petition signed by the property owners of the subdivision, and advised the Commission that they are very concerned about what the new Development Code has done to their setbacks and, in fact, they view the six undeveloped lots as probably having to go into two -story homes because of the 30% coverage factor, where before they had 50 % coverage. He advised they are bringing this to the attention of the City Council next week, and are requesting a rezoning back to the R -1 setbacks. COMMISSIONER SOTO LEFT THE MEETING DUE TO A POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON THE FOLLOWING AGENDA ITEM AND IS NOW ABSENT. PUBLIC HEARING - PARCEL MAP CASE NO. 91 -499, 327 WALNUT STREET (BILL AND DONNA MINTER.) Current Planner Spierling reviewed the staff report dated November 5, 1991. He pointed out that the lot is currently developed with two older single family residences and a detached garage. Several large trees exist on the site as well as a large hedge. All trees will remain but the hedge will be removed. The applicants have proposed splitting one 20,646 square foot parcel into two 10,323 square foot lots. This will produce lots that are 75.85 feet wide and 136.10 feet deep. The minimum lot size in this zone is 70 feet by 100 feet and the minimum lot area is 7,200 square feet. The two existing residences on this lot meet the setback requirements of the zone. The residence on Parcel "A" will be removed and replaced with a new residence. The residence on Parcel "B" will remain. Since the existing garage is located on the proposed lot line, it will have to be removed. A condition of approval requires that a new garage be constructed on Parcel "B" to replace the existing garage. When the house is replaced on Parcel "A ", it will be required to have a two car garage. Mr. Spierling stated that staff is not aware of any major issues regarding development of this parcel map. The Staff Advisory Committee recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the resolution included with the agenda packet with the findings and subject to the conditions of approval. Upon being assured by the Planning Commission Secretary that public hearing for Parcel Map Case No. 91 -499 had been duly published and property owners notified, Vice Chairman Carr declared the hearing open. Bill Minter, 238 Newport Avenue, Grover City, applicant, spoke in favor of the proposed lot split, stated they have met with staff and have no objections to the conditions. Donna Minter questioned the requirement that no trees shall be removed, stating that there is a tree located where the garage is to go. Mr. Spierling advised that the Parks and Recreation Director will review this when the applicants apply for a building permit. Hearing no further comments from the audience, Vice Chairman Carr declared the hearing closed. After discussion, the following action was taken: 329 330 Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, November 5, 1991 RESOLUTION NO. 91 -1351 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE APPROVING PARCEL MAP CASE NO. 91 -499, LOCATED AT 327 WALNUT STREET APPLIED FOR BY DONNA AND BILL MINTER AND ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND INSTRUCTING THE SECRETARY TO FILE A NOTICE OF DETERMINATION.

Page 2 On motion by Commissioner Brandy, seconded by Commissioner Boggess, and by the following roll call vote, to wit: PUBLIC HEARING - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 2074, 250 AND 290 RIDGEVIEW WAY (SALLY WHITE /ED CHADWELL.) Mr. Spierling advised that the applicants are requesting continuance of this item until the first Planning Commission meeting after November 19, 1991. After discussion, on motion by Commissioner Soto, seconded by Commissioner Boggess, motion carried by a 3 to 2 vote, this item was continued to the Planning Commission meeting of December 3, 1991. PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CASE NO. 91 -489, 275 SO. HALCYON ROAD, YMCA PROGRAM CENTER FOR SO. SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY (MIKE MOGENSEN /YMCA.) Current Planner Spierling advised that the site of the proposed use has been the home of the First Methodist Church for many years and at various times since 1980, child care facilities have been located on the property. The last facility was the Montessori Pre - school who, within the last 18 months has moved to a new location on Oak Street. He stated that the site is fully developed with 89 parking spaces, landscaping and buildings. Buildings on the site consist of a sanctuary, social hall, two wings of classrooms, and a multi - purpose work and storage room. The applicant has proposed using three of the existing classrooms, a set of restrooms and a playground area for a temporary YMCA facility. The primary program will be a child care facility that will operate form 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. Monday through Friday. Other possible programs include prenatal fitness programs, teen programs, and programs for active older adults. These programs will take place from 9:00 to 10:15 A.M. and from 6:15 to 7:30 P.M., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Mr. Spierling advised that since this use replaces a similar use (the Montessori Preschool) no environmental impacts are anticipated due to operation of the child care program. The other programs occur at times that avoid impacting peak hour traffic. Staff has reviewed this project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and for the above reasons, does not anticipate any significant environmental impacts due to this project. The Staff Advisory Committee has reviewed the application and recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the resolution included in the Commissioner's packets approving the project with the findings and subject to the conditions of approval listed in the resolution. Upon being assured by the Planning Commission Secretary that public hearing for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 91 -489 had been duly published and property owners notified, Vice Chairman Carr declared the hearing open. Mike Mogensen, 1681 Trouville, Grover City, applicant, spoke. in favor of the project and briefly described the activities that would be taking place at the facility, stating the use will be primarily youth centered activities. He advised that eventually the goal is for development of a YMCA in the five cities area, and they are now pursuing sites and will be doing a capital campaign and when the timing is right they hope to construct a permanent facility. Hearing no further comments from the audience, Vice Chairman Carr declared the hearing closed and, after a brief discussion, the following action was taken: 1 Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, November 5, 1991 Page 3 RESOLUTION NO. 91 - 1352 On motion by Commissioner Boggess, seconded by Commissioner Moore, and by the following roll call vote, to wit: AYES: Commissioners Brandy, Moore, Boggess and Vice Chairman Carr NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioners Soto and Souza the foregoing resolution was adopted this 5th day of November 1991. COMMISSIONER SOTO RETURNED TO THE MEETING AND IS NOW PRESENT. REQUEST FOR INTERPRETATION - VINEYARD CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP. Current Planner Spierling reviewed the staff report dated November 5, 1991 regarding the request of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship to use three of the offices at the Oak Park Plaza as temporary church facilities. He pointed out that the Foursquare Church had previously used some of the Oak Park Plaza offices as Sunday School classrooms while their new church was being constructed. After review, by staff was unable to find sufficient information to give Mr. Perry a definite answer and, therefore, recommended that a request be presented to the Planning Commission for interpretation. He stated if the Commission feels that a Conditional Use Permit is the correct procedure, then that would be saying that a church type of use is permitted within this office area subject to a Conditional Use Permit. If the Commission determines that a Use Permit is not the correct procedure and those uses are not permitted, then a PD rezone would be required. After discussion, on motion by Commissioner Brandy, seconded by Commissioner Soto, and unanimously carried, the Planning Commission determined that a Conditional Use Permit is the appropriate procedure to allow the church to use offices in the Oak Park Plaza center. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 8:25 P.M. on motion by Commissioner Boggess, seconded by Commissioner Brandy, and unanimously carried.
