(RONALD OLSON) Planning Director Eisner reviewed that at the Planning Commission's last meeting a public hearing was held on a request for rezoning from RA -B3 to P-D with an accompanying General Development Plan as spelled out in the requirements of the P-D zone. At the time of that public hearing, the Planning Commission sent a recommendation to the City Council for denial of the application. Mr. Eisner advised that, in discussions with the staff, the applicant has requested an opportunity to .resubmit the general development plan to see whether or not the Planning Commission could take a look at it, in the hopes they would change their recommendation to the City Council. He noted that a public hearing before the City Council is scheduled for January 22nd. The public hearing was continued to that date to enable the Planning Commission to review the revised development plan. Mr. Eisner advised that the question is whether the Commission wishes to reconsider their recommendation to the Council based on the new General Development Plan, or re -state their prior recommendation. Commissioner Fischer stated that, based on public testimony and the concerns addressed at the last meeting, those items have not changed, and she would rather see it go straight to the City Council for their decision. She noted that those concerns were density, drainage, traffic and water availability. It was the consensus of the Commission that there was not too much difference between the two plans and, after a brief discussion, on motion by Commissioner Fischer, seconded by Commissioner Moore, and carried with Chairman Gerrish abstaining, the Commission restated their recommendation of November 20, 1984 to deny the zone change application. Planning Director Eisner advised that the issue of the zone change, Rezoning Case No. 84 -183, will be heard by the City Council on January 22nd and will be accompanied by the general development plan which was heard by the Planning Commission at its November meeting. He noted that the tentative tract map has been continued by the Planning Commission and will remain so until such time as a final action on the request has been completed. 1 .

Halcyon Road, advised that this.is the identical map that was approved by the Commission 4 or 5 months ago, however, the map was withdrawn as a formality pending an interpretation by the City Council regarding water and sewer hookups. He questioned Item No.. 5 in the staff report, stating it was.his understanding that no occupancy would be permitted prior to "Notice of Completion "; not "recordation of the final map" as noted in the staff report.

He advised that in 1977 this property was brought in for a four -way split. At that time the conditions of approval were to improve Tally Ho Road, which was done; a drainage plan which was approved by the Public Works Department, and other requirements which were completed and the final map was filed. In 1981 the applicant applied to split the property into six parcels from the four that existed. Mr. McGillis reviewed the conditions of approval for that tentative tract map. He noted that a condition of the staff report requires a full blown City street with a cul- de-sac in there and advised that the property will not support a full blown City street with a cul-de -sac. He commented that the land or the land use has not changed since 1981 and he couldn't see why the same conditions required in 1981 would not apply. He also co]tunented with regard to the condition that two fire hydrants be located on the property, stating that two fire hydrants to serve 6 houses does not seem to be fair or equitable, and this condition was not included in the approval of 1981. Mr. McGillis requested that the Planning Commission consider their application as submitted. L. C. Lavine, owner of the property, spoke in favor of the tentative tract map. He stated he has 4.1 acres of land; all of the land around his property has been developed and he is landlocked by subdivisions. He pointed out that if he puts in a 52 ft. road, only two residences would benefit from it. The lots they are trying to split are in the front of the property and they are doing nothing to the back two acres. He further commented he does not own the property where there is a problem in the road. Chairman Gerrish declared a 5 minute recess at 8:30 P.M. to allow the audience to review the proposed tentative tract map. The meeting was reconvened at 8 :35 P.M. with. all Commissioners present as recorded on roll call. Mary Ann Halverson, 536 Via LaBarranca, stated she doesn't really see that a public street would be required back there, but she questioned how a fire truck would turn around in there. Planning Director Eisner advised that, in effect, there is no way a fire truck could get in there and turn around, and that is the reason the Fire Chief wants the second fire hydrant. Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed tentative tract map, Chairman Gerrish declared the hearing closed. There was considerable discussion among the Commission regarding the 8 recommended conditions of approval listed in the staff report. After that discussion, the following changes were recommended: 1. That two fire hydrants be on the property in locations subject to the approval of the Fire Chief. This condition includes the relocation of any water meter that would restrict the adequacy of the fire flow and pressure to meet the standards of the City of Arroyo Grande. 3. Delete. 8. Delete.

He stated that Loomix wishes to store and blend liquid fertilizer on their property on the north side of East Branch Street. Jim McGillis, representing the applicant, briefly described the temporary tank being requested. He stated that as far as aesthetics, the moving of these liquid fertilizer tanks would allow them to remove the old warehouse on the other side of the street, and this is -all. part of the revitalization program. David Loomis stated they feel this is a permitted use in the. P-M District, however, they felt they would be more comfortable to bring the matter to the Commission for a determination. He further stated they have to be able to have the product ready for the farmers the first of March and he requested that the Commission make an interpretation that this is a permitted use in the P -M zone. After a brief discussion, on motion by Commissioner Moore, seconded by Comissioner Olsen, and carried with one "no" vote, approval was granted for the temporary use for a period of six (6) months.
