Planning Director Eisner advised the matter before the Commission is a
combined application for a use permit for an 18 unit residential development, a
tentative tract map and architectural approval.
Upon being assured by Planning Director Eisner that public hearing for Use
Permit Case No. 84 -381 had been duly published and property owners notified, Vice
Chairman Moots declared the hearing open. Hearing no comments for or against the
proposed use permit, Vice Chairman Moots declared the hearing closed.
Commissioner Carr commented that this type of design, in his opinion, is
unattractive because the entire front area is nothing but walls and pavement. He
stated he would rather see the parking reduced to 36 spaces and see some landscaping
put in there. Commissioner Fischer stated that since Brisco Road has very little
on- street parking, it was decided by the Architectural Review Committee that the
project would need more off - street parking.

Planning Director Eisner reviewed that earlier this year a use permit was
approved for C and T Welding to put in a welding operation at this same location. At
that time, after the public hearing, the use permit was approved with conditions
having to do with improvements of the street on Traffic Way relating to curb, gutter
and sidewalks, landscaping and other improvements having to do with Public Works
requirements. At that time the applicant asked for a delay of approximately six
months to meet the requirements, and the Planning Commission approved the request.
The matter was appealed by a member of the City Council, and the six month extension
was overturned by the Council, however, they did allow for the improvements to be
bonded for. C and T Welding chose not to go ahead with the project and we now have a
new application for substantially the same use, and the recommendations of the
department and Staff Advisory Committee are substantially the same as those
required for C & T Welding.
Upon being assured by Planning Director Eisner that public hearing for Use
Permit Case No. 84 -382 had been duly published and property owners notified, Vice
Chairman Moots declared the hearing open.
RESOLUTION NO. 84 -1022
Cnuck Fellows, 202 Canyon Way, spoke in favor of approval of the Use Permit,
stating that the corner needs to be improved, and after looking at the sketches, it
looks like it would be a nice addition to the community.
Mr. Heacock, applicant, stated he would be working mostly on utility
trailers, horse trailers and small flat bed trailers, and he would try to service all
trailers inside the building. He intends to clean up the building and repave the
entire parking lot.
Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed Use Permit, Vice
Chairman Moots declared the hearing closed.
Commissioner Carr inquired if Mr. Heacock would be doing repairs on travel
trailers. Mr. Heacock commented he would not solicit that type of repair work.
Commissioner Olsen stated she thinks this would be an improvement but, in her
opinion, it should be reviewed in six months. Planning Director Eisner advised
that the. Commission could review a Use Permit at any time.
After further discussion, the following action was taken:

Mr. Rocky Riviera, representing the applicant, spoke in favor of the Use

redwood letters on the face. He stated there would be no sight problem resulting
from placement of the sign.
Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed use permit, Vice
Chairman Moots declared the hearing closed and, after a brief discussion the

Associate Planner Stonier briefly reviewed the staff report dated November
20, 1984. She pointed out that the applicant proposes to develop the project in two
phases, with architectural review to take place when each phase is developed. Ms.
Stonier advised that the Staff Advisory Committee found the development plan to be
consistent with Ordinance No. 140 C.S. and recorrurended approval subject to
conditions listed in the staff report.
Upon being assured by Planning Director Eisner that public hearing for Use
Permit Case No. 84 -384 had been duly published and property owners notified, Vice
Chairman Moots declared the hearing open.
Tony Orefice, RMO Architects, representing the applicants, briefly
described the project, noting that the plan presented tonight basically is to
resolve whether residential use is suitable for Parcel D, and the applicants are
asking for preliminary approval of what is being planned for the site.
Jane Johnson, Oak Park Leisure Gardens, stated she is concerned about the
additional traffic the proposed project will generate. Chuck Fellows, 202 Canyon
Way, commented that if they change the drainage, allowing water to puddle around the
oak trees, it could be harmful to then and he hoped that the Parks and Recreation
Department or Architectural Review Committee would give this some consideration.
Dr. Fullbright, Mrs. Fullbright and Mr. Tom Caruso, applicants for the Use
Permit, briefly described the proposed project and some of the services being
offered. Mrs. Grace Stillwell inquired if the facility would be covered by
Medicare. Dr. Fullbright commented it would be covered by Medicare; it would be a
convenient clinic where people could come with no appointment necessary. He noted
that part of the reason for this project is to try to keep people out of the hospital
and to try to shorten their stay.
Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed use permit, Vice
Chairman Moots declared the hearing closed.
Commissioner Olsen stated she is concerned about the proposed use on that
site principally because of the traffic. Convissioner Fischer stated she feels the
idea itself is very needed and very workable. She noted that one of the things that
was brought up during the Architectural Review meeting was that the hilly terrain of
Parcel D might impair mobility. Commissioner Carr stated his concerns were the
traffic problems and the density. Also, his main concern was that he is not
143
144
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, 11 -20 -84 Page 4
prepared to adopt a resolution making certain findings; he doesn't feel like the
Commission has enough information to make a decision and pass the matter on to the
City Council tonight. Commissioner Moore stated the concept is new to him and
sounds like it might have some possibilities, however, he didn't feel like the
Commission had enough information to make a recommendation. He also commented that
the traffic and drainage are two problems that need to be taken care of. Vice
Chairman Moots stated he doesn't think the proposal is in conformance with Ordinance
140 C.S.. He further stated he has no quarrel with the professional /commercial
uses, but he didn't feel the residential use would be in conformance with the
ordinance.
After a brief discussion, the following action was taken:
