WORKSHOP ON THE DRAFT DEVELOPMENT CODE
Long Range Planner Sandy Bierdzinski reviewed the staff report and advised that

included in the staff report. Attachment "B" are copies of letters 5 - 16.
Letter #17 is from the Chamber of Commerce, which was received today.
Steve Askew, 570 Lemon Lane, requested that parcels 2 and 22 remain R -1, and
parcel 1 remain as RA -B3 or be left open. The size of parcel 22 should be 13,865
s. f. instead of 6,000 s.f.
Ron Stob, Alder House Care Facility, 295 Alder Street, stated he is concerned
with 20 foot setbacks proposed in Development Code. The facility is 1 -story and
this should be considered when setbacks are determined. Mr. Stob is also
concerned that the proposed parking standard (1 space for 3 bed) is excessive and
thinks that even 1 space for 4 beds is excessive.
Marie Cattoir, 195 Orchid Lane, advised her concern that minimum lot size in C -
zone has been increased from 10,000 to 20,000 s.f. Mrs. Cattoir wants
reassurance that they can utilize C -3 property along Traffic Way if it is below
minimum lot size. She also restated her concerns in regards to Orchid Lane
right -of -way.

CHAIRMAN CARR OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING OF THE DRAFT DEVELOPMENT CODE.
Matthew Roberts, 1231 Sidney Street, San Luis Obispo, stated his concern in
regards to the Commercial Districts section, on page 148, under the Office
District purpose, medical offices are not listed. Also the table of listed uses
indicates that everything needs a CUP and nothing is permitted.
Mark Vasquez, 345 Acero Place, advised that he has no new comments, stated he
would like the Camnission to take a hard look at previous issues he has discussed
with staff.
Melvin and Marlene Johnson, 535 Traffic Way, (Vagabond Mobilehome Park) stated
they feel that a big reason for rezoning their property is to provide affordable
housing. Mr. Johnson also stated that they were not in compliance with the MHP
zone or the existing Highway Commercial zone. They have 3.5 acres with 37 spaces.
The MHP density of 6.5 spaces per acre is close to residential density.
Rob Strong, One Buena Vista, San Luis Obispo, commented regarding the two Loomis
properties on the north side of Branch Street and the south side adjacent to the
creek, both are appropriately zoned VC. He is concerned with the property
between the creek and Hwy. 227 - it has an abnormal depth and is currently zoned
PM (planned manufacturing). The property is surrounded by residential uses on
three sides. His main concern is lack of clear opportunity for planned
development by a conditional use permit or special designation.
