circumstances exist:

employee's residences in the Agricultural District subject to the second residential
unit regulations.
2. Section 9-11.140 of the Arroyo Grande Development Code contains the
regulations for development of second residential units.
3. The requirement that employee's residences must be architecturally compatible
with the primary residence in the Agricultural District is not the intent of the
Development Code because agricultural properties typically contain a variety of
metal buildings that are not architectural compatible with single family residences.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Arroyo Grande hereby makes the interpretation that an employee's residence is not
required to be architecturally compatible wi�h the primary residence in the Agricultural
