REVIEW COMMITTEE ACTIONS Lot Split Case No. 76- 249'and Lot Split Case No. 76- 250 (Stagecoach Road)- The Planning Director noted that Lot'Split Case No. 76 -249 is a revision of an earlier approved Lot Split. Since that time the adjacent property owner had also decided to split his property, and the two had been combined to create a better configuration of lots. The properties are adjacent to Terra de Oro Unit 2, and all off -site improvements will be put in with the subdivision He then reviewed the recommended conditions of the splits. Commissioner Ries asked about Condition 5, which stated that all parcel corners are to be monumented. Director Gallop explained that in every subdivision State law requires each lot to be staked and a surveyor's mark on it so that the purchasers can find 'their property corners. The Review Committee felt that because of the shape and size of these lots, this should also be done in these Lot Splits. There being no additions or corrections, Chairman Pope ordered the reports filed. COMMISSIONER HITCHEN ENTERED THE MEETING DURING THE ABOVE DISCUSSION., • Architectural Review Case No. 76 -126, 139 South Halcyon (Lovett) Director Gallop stated the request was for a small office structure to be built at the corner of Park Way and Halcyon, adjacent to the ambulance company. The lean -to currently used by the ambulances is to be removed. There will be a one -way traffic pattern. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk exist on the Halcyon frontage; however, it will be required on the Park Way frontage whenever a building permit is issued. Therefore, Director Gallop recommended that the Committee action be amended by adding this item as a flag to the petitioner. Commissioner Ries expressed concern over the ambulances backing into the parking lot. Director Gallop stated that the traffic pattern could be reversed and access on Park and exit on Halcyon mandatory. Chairman Pope stated he would rather just leave the approval as it now stands and consider it later if problems do arise. After discussion, on motion by Commissioner Cole, seconded by Commissioner Gerrish, and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Architectural Review Case No. 76 -126, with the added condition that curb, gutter, and sidewalk be installed on Park Way frontage. LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS The Commission reviewed a staff report concerning all the Commission and Council's recommended changes to the Land Use Element, excepting those dealing with agriculture. Commissioner Gerrish stated that he felt the last sentence of the second paragraph on Page 2, the last sentence of the third paragraph.on Page 2, and the fourth paragraph on Page 2 in its entirety should be deleted, as they were far too specific for a General Plan. Director Gallop stated that these were specifically requested by members of the City Council because they were concerned about these areas. On motion by Commissioner Gerrish, seconded by Commissioner Ries, and unanimously carried, the Commission recommended deleting said sections of the Addendum. The balance of the Addendum was reviewed in de- tail without change. 279 280 Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, 10 -5 -76 Page 2 Director Gallop stated that the Agricultural Lands Committee was still considering the agricultural land questions, and the Commission could consider the matter when the Committee had a recommendation.

Both are part of the general development plan for that area. Tentative Maps are originally approved for eighteen months and allowed a local extension of one year or eighteen mon hs.

OAK. PARK ACRES CC &Rs Director Gallop stated that when Oak Park Acres was in the process of approval, the developers had projected furnishing CC &Rs as the developers' control of the property, and in the City's approval, there were several areas of concern required to be included in the CC &Rs as mandatory for those buying in the develop- merit. A preliminary set of CC &Rs had been sent'to the City; the staff had reviewed them and returned them for corrections, which have now been made. They were'now ready for Commission approval. Director Gallop then reviewed the CC &Rs for the Commission, noting the changes that had been made at the staff's suggestion. Commissioner Moots expressed concern over the second sentence on Page 3, which states "At the option of Reuben Kvidt, the control of this committee may be re- linquished..." Commissioner Moots asked if Mr. Kvidt could overrule the committee. Director Gallop replied that he could not as an individual; he only had one vote on a committee of three. Chairman Pope suggested deleting the words "the control of." The Planning Director stated that Sections 5, 6, and 7 were new sections discussing the various uses set out in the "P -D" map. Commissioner Gerrish asked if these uses were more restrictive than the Zoning Ordinance; Director Gallop replied that they were. Commissioner Gerrish also asked about the reference to "wild animals" in Section 8. Director Gallop explained this meant any animal not considered domestic: loxes, raccoons, quail, etc. Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, 10 -5 -76 Page 3 Commissioner Gerrish expressed concern over the first sentence of Section 9, Greenbelts. He felt that it might be giving the developers power that had already been taken away. He suggested deleting this sentence. Commissioner Gerrish asked about the Architectural Committee re- ferred to in Section 12. He felt this should be clarified to read "City of Arroyo Grande Planning Commission's Architectural Committee." After further discussion, on motion by Commissioner Mathews, seconded by Commissioner Moots, and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the CC &Rs for Oak Park Acres for recordation, with the following changes: Page 3, second sentence; the words "the control of" to be deleted; Page 6, first sentence of Section 9 to be deleted; Page 8, all references to Architectural Committee to be changed to "City of Arroyo Grande Planning Commission's Architectural Committee." COUNCIL REFERRAL OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ON- STREET PARKING Director Gallop stated that several meetings ago, the Commission had granted a Use Permit to the Presbyterian Church and Central Coast Christian Academy. One of the conditions of that Use Permit was that the school bus be parked off- street when not in use. Shortly after this Use Permit was granted, the Church and School requested the Parking and Traffic Commission for additional on- street parking, as they now have two buses. The Parking and Traffic Commission granted them the additional on- street parking as well as changing the loading times to 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. This allowed them to be parking all day long on the street in violation of their Use Permit. The recommended approval was sent to the City Council, who in turn has referred the matter to the Planning Commission. Director Gallop stated he was against allowing them to park the buses all day long on the street because it is a very narrow street, and secondly, the City has never allowed anyone to park their buses on- street and store them there when not in use. In addition, the School has started parking one of the buses in the traffic island on Bridge Street. He requested that the Commission recommend to the Parking and Traffic Commission that they revise their approval to correspond to the Use Permit and also take some further action about the bus parking in the traffic island. Commissioner Mathews stated he agreed; the street is too narrow without having the buses parked there. Commissioner Gerrish stated that the School had stated at the public hearing for the Use permit that they would park the bus on their own property. After discussion, on motion by Commissioner Cole, seconded by Commissioner Ries, and unanimously carried, the Commission recommended to the Parking and, Traffic Commission that they consider and take action with regard to prohibiting the parking of buses within public rights of way, particularly in the traffic island on Bridge Street, and recommended to the City Council that the existing Use Permit parking. requirements for the Central Coast Christian Academy and Presbyterian Church be upheic with regard to the buses; ie: that the buses be parked on Poole Street for loading and unloading only and to be parked on Church property at all other times. ORAL 0 1 ICATIONS Chairman Pope stated that the Agricultural Committee had had a meeting on October 4 for public input. He stated he was a little disappointed that the discussion seemed to be one sided; there were about 50 farmers present asking that the present Zoning Ordinance be upheld on agricultural lands, with the General Plan brought into conformance, and there were only a few speaking for the other point of view. He stated the next meeting would be October 18 at 4:00 p.m., and invited any interested persons to attend.. - ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, on a motion by Commies •ner Mathews', seconded by Commissioner Moots, and unanimously carried, the meeting ►ourne•..t 8:58 P.M.
