WHEREAS, the Development Code was adopted by the City Council on May 14, 1991,

W�IER�AS, Development Code Table 9-07.030-A indicates businesses that fall within
the use category of "vehicle sales", which include boat and motorcycle sales and service, are not
permitted in tl�e Village Commercial District; and
W�ICRTAS, the Pla►u�ing Commission has received a request for interpretation of
whether a business that sells small farm and yard maintenance equipment, all terrain vehicles,
jet skis, and sporting goocls can operate in tlie Village Comrnercial District; and
WI-IER�AS, the Planning Commission, after due research and deliberation finds that:
1. Tt�e Arroyo Grancle General Plan and Development Code do not allow said uses
in the Village Commercial District because the primary purpose of the Village
Commercial District is to allow uses which are compatible with the historical,
small town nature of the original Arroyo Grande Village area. Tl�e indoor or
outdoor sale of all terrain vel�icles, jet skis, etc., is not consistent with the
primary purpose of the llistrict. Tl�erefore, tlle proposed use is not similar to
other uses allowed in the Village Commercial District.
