MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Patrick Holub, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Denying the Installation of One (1) Domestic
Well on Property Zoned Planned Development (PD); Applicant –
Michael Harris; Representative – Richard Burde, SLO Civil Design
DATE: October 24, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Following a public hearing, consider staff’s recommended denial of the request of the
property owner to drill and install a new domestic well at an unaddressed property on
Noyes Road (APN: 007-781-055) northeast of the intersection of Noyes Road and
Equestrian Way.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no direct funding impact anticipated as a result of this denial. If the application is
denied, the applicant will alternatively have the option to connect to City services, which
will require staff time to process the connection application. If the application is approved,
staff time will be required to finalize the well permit. Both options will require applicant
fees to offset staff time.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution denying the request by Michael Harris to drill and install one (1)
new domestic well on an unaddressed property on Noyes Road (APN: 007 -781-055)
northeast of the intersection of Noyes Road and Equestrian Way ; and 2) Determine that
the installation of a domestic water well is categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under the Class 3 exemption, which applies to the
construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures;
installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion
of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are
made in the exterior of the structure. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15303.).

City Council
Consider a Resolution Denying the Installation of One (1) Domestic Well on
Property Zoned Planned Development (PD); Applicant – Michael Harris;
Representative – Richard Burde, SLO Civil Design
October 24, 2023
Page 2
BACKGROUND:
The City received a request from property owner Michael Harris, who is seeking approval
to drill a well at the subject parcel in order to provide domestic/drinking water to a future
proposed residence. If allowed, the proposed well would be drilled to a depth of four
hundred feet (400’), depending on the depth of permeable sands. The well is proposed
to pump at about 10-20 gallons per minute (gpm). The proposed well meets the City’s
definition of an individual domestic well because it is a single well used to supply water
for the domestic needs of an individual residence.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) Chapter 13.08 requires Council to consider, in
its discretion, approval for new or replacement wells or abandonment of existing wells.
Approval to drill a well within the City boundaries may be granted if the Council
determines: 1) the well will neither deplete nor contaminate the City water supply; and 2)
service from the City’s water system is neither practical nor feasible.
Depletion or Contamination
The applicant’s proposed location for the well is on the subject property northeast of the
intersection of Noyes Road and Equestrian Way. Any well proposal would be required to
submit verification that the well is located at least one -hundred feet (100’) from septic

system areas, which would also be confirmed by County Environmental Health.
Additionally, any new well would be conditioned to be metered to determine annual
usage. The well site is outside of the adjudicated Santa Maria Groundwater Basin and is
located in the Los Robles Aquifer. The closest City well is located about 2,800 feet away
southwest of the proposed well site. Because the proposed well would not tap the same
aquifer tapped by the City’s wells, staff’s determination is that there is no anticipated
interference or depletion to the City’s system from the requested well. However, staff
does not believe the well application meets the second required prong, as described in
additional detail below.
Practicality and Feasibility of Connecting to the City’s Water System
It is important to highlight that, in determining the practicality and feasibility for a domestic
water service connection, City staff reads the practicality and feasibility test as one based
on whether the City is reasonably able to provide a domestic water service connection
from the City water service line to the private property boundary. The City does not believe
the second of the two approval criteria should be based upon the private property owner’s
costs associated with installing domestic water service, nor should it be based on the
topography of the site. The applicant has provided a groundwater feasibility analysis that
examines the local conditions and finds that developing a groundwater well to serve the
subject property is feasible from a hydrological perspective, which is included as an
exhibit to this agenda item.
Staff has determined that it is both feasible and practical for the City to connect the City’s
water supply to the subject property. The subject parcel is immediately adjacent to the
City’s Reservoir No. 5, which is a 1.2 million gallon above-ground storage tank. The City’s
Utilities Manager has stated that a residential water service connection can be made
directly to the City owned main water line from the tank and a connection placed to the
applicant’s property line with a standard water meter on their property.
As described above, Section 13.08 of the AGMC provides that the City Council may
approve a well if “service from the city water system is neither practical nor feasible”. This
connection would be approximately 50 feet in length along generally level land with
minimal surface restrictions, which staff has determined is both practical and feasible for
the City to provide to the applicant’s property. In contrast to City staff’s determination, the
applicant has argued that this connection is neither practical nor feasible, citing that the
location of their preferred building site on the property is approximately 600-800 feet from
the reservoir, depending on the trenching route, and would involve grading through
steeper slopes and sensitive oak trees. However, the City is not responsible for the
proposed location of residential structures on a property – that is proposed by an applicant
and ultimately reviewed by the City to ensure any municipal code requirements are met,
such as setbacks, height, and health and safety standards contained in the California

Building Standards Code. The City has historically determined practicality and feasibility
based on the City’s ability and cost to serve each parcel.
Other Sites with Wells in City
The City Council approved the establishment of an agricultural well for the property
adjacent to the subject site (APN 007-781-056) in December 2017 (see Attachment 3).
This well was approved for agricultural purposes (crop irrigation and/or livestock watering)
as the City does not provide agricultural water and ha d no such service connections. That
approval for an agricultural well has since expired and was never constructed.
The City Council also approved wells for properties on Easy Street at the northern end of
the City, with the most recent approval for 575 Easy Street in January of 2021 (see
Attachment 4). The City determined that it was neither practical nor feasible to extend
services to these properties because the nearest City waterlines are over 1,000 feet away
and cross multiple private properties and open space to reach Easy Street. Connection
to the City’s water system in this case was determined to be infeasible because multiple

ground reservoir, staff finds that a connection to the City’s system is both practical and
feasible and should be required.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt the Resolution denying the installation of one (1) new domestic supply well;
2. Reject staff’s recommendation denying the installation of one (1) new domestic
supply well; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Denial of the application will prevent the applicant from drilling a well on the property for
domestic use, consistent with City policy to ensure that properties within the City will
connect to the system when it is practical and feasible to do so.
DISADVANTAGES:
None identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), it has been
determined that the installation of a domestic water well is categorically exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under the Class 3 exemption, which
applies to the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or
structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the
conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor
modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. (State CEQA Guidelines, §
15303.). This project falls within the Class 3 exemption because approval of the project
would result in the installation of a small well structure. In the alternative, if the application
is denied, the item does not qualify as a “project” under CEQA, because it has no potential
to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the
environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

Cleath=Harris Geologists, Inc. 75 Zaca Lane, Suite 110 San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805)543-1413Subject: Well Impact Evaluation
Proposed Private Well in City of Arroyo Grande
APN 007-781-055
Dear Mr. Han-is:
CHG
Per your request, Cleath-Hanis Geolog ists has performed a Well Impact Evaluation to address
requirements for the City of Anoyo Grande.
The proposed domestic well would serve a residence and ADU on parcel APN 007-781-055. The
parcel is located in the n01them corner of the City and is not cmTently served by City utilities.
Two potential sites for the residence and ADU are under consideration. One building site is
about 700 feet to the west at an elevation of230 feet (approximate coordinates of 35.145369, -
120.590831) and the other building site is about 630 feet from the water tank at an elevation of
265 feet (approximate coordinates of 35.143869, -120.89374).
Water demand for the proposed residence and ADU is estimated at about 2 acre-feet, a po1tion of
which would be percolated back into the groundwater via a leachfield and landscape nTigation
deep percolation.
CITY PRIVATE WELL ORDINANCE
Anoyo Grande Municipal Code Chapter 13.08 requires the City Council approve new or
replacement wells or abandonment of existing wells. Approval to drill a well may be granted if
the Council determines that (1) the well will neither deplete nor contaminate the City water
supply and (2) service from the City's water system is either not practical or not feasible.
PROPOSED WELL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The siting and design of the proposed well will be requiI·ed to meet State, County and City
regulations. Figure 1 from a CHG 2017 study of the propeity shows the proposed location of the
well. The well will be located so as to maintain setbacks from on-site wastewater facilities (150
feet) and prope1ty boundaries (10 feet). A 50-foot annular well seal should be placed according
to State of California water well standards. Well impact evaluation 11/8/2022

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Shayna Gropen, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Accepting a Donation of Time and Materials for
the Second Phase of Painting of Utility Boxes Citywide and Waiving
Encroachment Permit Fees; Staff Project 23-007; Applicant – Shirley
Horacek, Arroyo Grande Public Art
DATE: October 24, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Receive public comment and consider a Resolution accepting a donation of time and
materials, and waiving encroachment permit fees of $720 , for the second phase of utility
box public art proposed by Arroyo Grande Public Art.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Staff time will be necessary in order to attend future meetings of the Arroyo Grande Public
Art Committee. Staff time will likely be required on an individual basis to implement safety
measures during painting, as well as processing a “small” encroachment permit for each
utility box painting. It is recommended that City Council waive encroachment permit fees
of $180 for each of the four utility box locations for a total of $720, as proposed in the
attached Resolution. All time and materials necessary for the preparation and painting of
the utility boxes will be donated by the applicant , valued at approximately $5,000. The
City will be responsible for ongoing maintenance costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Receive public comment; 2) Adopt a Resolution accepting the donation of time and
materials and waiving encroachment permit fees in the amount of $720; and 3) Determine
that this project is categorically exempt based upon section 15301(e) of the CEQA
Guidelines regarding existing facilities. This exemption is applied to additions to existing
structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of square footage. The
proposed project is for painting an existing structure and will not result in an increase in
square footage.

BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved staff recommendations for an Art in Public Places Program
and Process in 2002. These recommendations were prepa red in a collaborative effort
with the San Luis Obispo County Arts Council, leading to the approval of an Art Donation
Program by City Council in 2006.
Arroyo Grande Public Art (AGPA) was established in 2013 as a subcommittee within
Arroyo Grande In Bloom (AGIB), a nonprofit organization. The Arroyo Grande Public Art
Guidelines (Guidelines) were amended in 2021 to limit the purview of the Guidelines to
only include projects located on property that is not zoned residential. Other changes that
were made to the Guidelines at this time include changes to the City’s advisory bodies
that provide consultation to the Council regarding public art projects. The consulting body
that makes recommendations to the City Council was changed from the San Luis Obispo
County Arts Council (SLOCAC) to AGPA. Finally, the Guidelines established a seven (7)
member Public Art Panel to review proposed art projects. The adopted Guidelines are
included as Attachment 2.
Approved public art projects installed to date include two Chuma sh art pieces at 126
Mason and 127 Short Street, the painting of the Strother Park basketball court, and the
first phase of utility box paintings which led to the painting of four (4) utility boxes in the
City.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The Public Art Guidelines apply to City-owned property, and approvals of art on public
property is discussed in greater detail below. Under AGMC 16.04.070, murals are works
of art “applied directly to a wall” and the proposed artwork will only be applied t o utility
boxes. The Public Art Guidelines apply to City-owned property, and approvals of art on
public property is discussed in greater detail below:
Review Process Under Public Art Guidelines
The Guidelines specify that projects shall be considered by City Council with community
input gathered from a public hearing, with ultimate approval given by the Arroyo Grande
Public Art Panel. The panel selection for this project includes the following members:
Two representatives from the property owner: Bill Rob eson and Sheridan Bohlken
Two representatives from AGPA: Shirley Horacek and Kathryn Phelan
One representative from the Architectural Review Committee: Kristen Juette
One representative from the Chamber of Commerce: Kassi Dee
One representative from the South County Historical Society: Vivian Krug
The Guidelines apply to public art projects proposed on either non -residentially zoned
public property or by a private owner in the adjacent public right of way. The Guidelines

and criteria are also applicable to public art projects on City property. When the City
approves art on City property, it approves that art as its own speech, government speech.
Once approved, such artwork becomes the property and expression of the government.
Donations for Public Art are required to be considered and approved by the City Council.
The following criteria are used in the selection of public art:
1. Relationship to the social, cultural and historical identity of the area. If the public
art is proposed to be located in the Village Core Downtown or Village Mixed Use
Districts, the art piece shall be representative or evocative of the turn of the century
historical period;
2. Evaluation of artistic excellence;
3. Appropriateness of scale, form, material, content and design relative to the
immediate and general neighborhood;
4. Relationship to the social, cultural and historical identity of the area;
5. Appropriateness of proposed materials as regards to structural and surface
integrity, protection against vandalism, public safety and weathering;
6. Ease of maintenance;
7. Appropriateness of proposed method of installation of artwork and safety and
structural factors involved in installation; and
8. Artist’s experience in working on comparable projects.
The City Council viewed these findings as part of their acceptance of the donation for time
and materials for the first phase of utility boxes in October 2022, and so they have been
included for consideration for this second phase for consistency with the City Council’s
past action on the first phase. Following the public hearing and Council’s acceptance of
the donation, the project will be forwarded for review and approval by the Public Art Panel
to make the necessary findings contained within the City’s existing Public Art Guidelines.
Arroyo Grande Public Art & Staff Advisory Committee
A total of four (4) designs were selected for presentation to the City. On August 21st, 2023,
the Staff Advisory Committee, consisting of the Recreation, Community Development,
Public Works, Police and Fire Departments, discussed recommendations for five

locations of the approved artwork. The following designs and preferred locations are
provided as Attachment 3:
1. Southeast corner of Fair Oaks Ave and Valley Road—Strawberries by Amy Usrey
2. Northeast corner of South Halcyon Road and Fair Oaks Avenue—box will be

Chang
4. Northeast corner of Rancho Parkway and West Branch Street —Jacaranda by
Deborah Lord
5. Northwest corner of Traffic Way & West Branch Street – Butterflies by Amy Usrey
*The utility box located at the northeast corner of South Halcyon Road and Fair Oaks
Avenue has not been selected for painting because it will be removed in the
preconstruction phase of the Halcyon Complete Streets project.
Waiver of Encroachment Fees
The project applicant has requested a fee waiver for encroachment permit fees totaling
$720, which includes $180 for each of the four proposed utility boxes. Staff has
determined that the requested fee waiver can be supported because the project provides
a community benefit in that it will be available for use by the public at -large and is likely
that the project will be used or will benefit more than the residents of the immediate vicinity
of each utility box. Further, staff has determined that the project will be of obvious public
benefit because it provides beautification of existing public facilities through the
application of public artwork.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Conduct the public hearing and adopt the Resolution accepting the donation of
approximately $5,000 in time and materials from the applicant and waive
encroachment permit fees totaling $720;
2. Do not adopt the Resolution, provide specific findings, and direct staff to return
with an appropriate resolution to not accept the donation or waive encroachment
permit fees; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approving the donation of time and materials and waiving encroachment permit fees for
the proposed public art installations will facilitate the enhancement of the appearance of
existing utility boxes for the benefit of the community.

DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), it has been
determined that the donation of time and materials for the painting of utility boxes , and
the waiver of applicable encroachment permit fees, is categorically exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under the Class 3 exemption, which
applies to the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or
structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the
conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor
modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. (State CEQA Guidelines, §
15303.). This project falls within the Class 3 exemption because approval of the project
would result in the donation of time and materials for the painting of existing utility boxes.
This project is further exempted under CEQA Section 15301 regarding existing facilities,
where no new utility boxes will be constructed in connection with this project. In the
alternative, if the application is denied, the item does not qualify as a “project” under
CEQA, because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable
indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd.
(b)(2)-(3), 15378.)
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.

PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES
Purpose
The purpose of these Guidelines is to create a framework to facilitate and encourage property
owners to provide outdoor public art on their property, or, if approved by the Director of
Community Development, in the adjacent public right-of-way. For purposes of these Guidelines
Public Art" shall mean art located on non-residentially zoned private property that is displayed in
an open area that is freely available to the general public or public accessibility is provided based
upon the characteristics of the artwork or its placement on the site. Artwork may include free-
standing pieces (e.g., a sculpture or water fountain)or may be integrated into its surroundings as an
architectural element (e.g., relief sculpture embedded in pavement or a wall, a mosaic or mural on
a wall, decorative railings or lighting).
These Guidelines are intended to assist artists, citizens and City officials and staff to understand
the City's goals regarding art that is displayed in a manner that is available and accessible to the
general public. The City recognizes that art and artistic expression is a protected activity and these
Guidelines are not intended to unduly restrict creative expression or limit the types of public art

and artwork, and help to guide what is essentially a form of communication between the artist and
the community.
Process
These Guidelines are applicable to public art projects proposed to be located on non-residentially
zoned private property or by a private owner in the adjacent public right of way. The guidelines
and criteria contained herein shall also apply to public art projects on City property. All Public Art
shall be considered and approved by the City Council, in consultation with Arroyo Grande Public
Art, and with the recommendation of the Recreation Department Director if the art is proposed to
be placed on park property, and is subject to the Public Art Donation Program to the extent
applicable.
Public Art Panel
In order to solicit community input and involvement for the consideration and promotion of public
art on private property in the City, a Public Art Panel has been established to review all public art.
The 7 member panel is made up of the following representatives to be convened as needed (a
minimum of 6 members shall be residents or business owners in Arroyo Grande):
2 representatives from the property owner.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Andrew Perez, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Pre-Application 23-003: Development Code
Amendment to Make Educational Facilities a Conditionally Allowed
Use in the Regional Commercial Zoning District; Applicant – Cuesta
College
DATE: October 24, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The purpose of this pre-application discussion is to provide the City Council an
opportunity to direct staff regarding potential ordinance revisions to allow educational
institutions as an allowed use in the Regional Commercial zoning district.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Financial impacts related to preparation for the study session consist of staff time and
legal counsel time for purposes of research and writing the staff report. Additional staff
time would be required to prepare ordinance revisions, should the City Council provide
that direction.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive public comment and provide direction to staff regarding the development code
amendment to allow educational institutions as a conditionally permitted use in the RC
zone.
BACKGROUND:
The general plan outlines goals, objectives, and policies regarding the character of
commercial uses and development throughout the City. Chapter 16.36 of the Arroyo
Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) describes the intent and purpose of each of the City’s
commercial and mixed-use districts and includes development standards that implement
the general plan policies. The Regional Commercial (RC) district implements and is
consistent with the Regional Commercial land use designation of the General Plan.
AGMC 16.36.020. It describes the purpose of the RC district as providing “areas for a

diversity of commercial uses that serve community and regional needs for retail and
personal services within distinctive and internally pedestrian-oriented shopping centers.”
Cuesta College is exploring the possibility of establishing a satellite facility consisting of
student classrooms, study hall, support services, and other resources for students in a
vacant structure in the RC district, previously occupied by Pier One Imports. Currently, in
the City’s development code, schools/educational institutions of any kind are not an
allowed land use in the RC district. The purpose of this pre-application discussion with
the City Council is to gauge interest in a development code amendment (DCA) that would
establish educational facilities as an allowed use in the RC district.
Project Description
Although it is not a business, a Cuesta College facility in Arroyo Grande will likely have
regional attraction. The nearest community colleges are the main Cuesta College campus
in San Luis Obispo and Alan Hancock College in Santa Maria, which are nearly 40 miles
apart. Cuesta College (Cuesta) currently operates its South County Center on Orchard
Street, near Arroyo Grande High School, providing students support services, quality
educational opportunities, workforce training, and transfer-oriented higher education.
Lucia Mar Unified School District leases Cuesta facilities and those are only available
after 4:00 pm. A dedicated space would allow Cuesta to have greater flexibility in
scheduling and would provide an opportunity to offer a wider range of coursework. The
identified space would allow Cuesta to provide up to 5 classrooms, a study hall, and staff
offices to support South County. The applicant has indicated that they anticipate starting

classes in 2-3 years beginning slowly with 1-2 classes, and ramping up the schedule over
time. When the facility is operating at maximum capacity, up to 90 students could be at
the site at any one time for instruction, plus staff and any students that may be using
resources available in the study hall.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Table 16.36.030 of the AGMC identifies allowed uses in each of the mixed -use and
commercial districts, and their corresponding permit requirements. With regards to
schools, two different types are listed in this table , and neither are allowed in the RC
district. The two types are “Elementary, middle, and/or secondary schools”, and
“Specialized education/training schools”. Colleges and upper education are captured in
the broadly defined “Educational institutions” in AGMC Section 16.04, and are defined as
“public and other nonprofit institutions conducting regular academic instruction at
kindergarten, elementary, secondary, collegiate levels, and including graduate schools,
universities, nonprofit research institutions and religious institutions.” Such institutions
must either: (1) offer general academic instruction equivalent to the standards prescribed
by the State Board of Education; (2) confer degrees as a college or university of
undergraduate or graduate standing; (3) conduct research; or (4) give religious
instruction. The definition does not include commercial or trade schools. Currently,
educational institutions in which collegiate level coursework are offered are only allowed
in the Public/Quasi-Public district. The proposed code amendment would amend Table
16.36.030 to add educational institutions as an allowed use in the RC zone.
General Plan Consistency
The underlying General Plan Use Designation for all parcels in the RC district is also
Regional Commercial. Land Use Element Policy 7-2 describes the purpose of this land
use category. It states “the RC district classification shall provide areas for retail and
service businesses serving the regional population (trade area typically exceeding 50,000
people – roughly equivalent to the Five-Cities area). Businesses allowed to locate in RC
areas shall include major retail commercial tenants associated with a regional mall,
“power center” or outlet center.”
The intent of the Regional Commercial district is to provide retail opportunities that have
appeal at a regional level and contribute to the general fund via collection of sales tax. A
educational institution will not directly generate sales tax, but will bring a significant
number of students to Arroyo Grande. These students will likely shop and dine in the city
before, between, and after classroom sessions, therefore, staff has determined that it can
reasonably be assumed that the educational facility will indirectly generate sales tax
revenue, consistent with the intent of the RC zoning designation.

Permit Requirements
A conditional use permit (CUP) is required to establish a school in the districts where
educational institutions are an allowed land use. If Council is amenable to a development
code amendment, staff recommends amending AGMC Section 16.36.030 to allow
educational institutions as a conditionally permitted use in the RC zone. Pursuant to
AGMC 16.16.050, a CUP is intended to allow the establishment of those uses that have
some special impact or uniqueness such that their effects on the surrounding environment
cannot be determined in advance of the use be ing proposed for a particular location. The
permit application process allows for the review of the location and design of the proposed
use, configuration of improvements, and potential impact on the surrounding area from
the proposed use. The review shall determine whether the proposed use should be
permitted, by weighing the public need for and benefit to be derived from the use against
any adverse impact it may cause. Any adverse impacts will be evaluated and mitigated
to the degree possible with potential operational conditions such as class scheduling and
parking requirements. The Planning Commission is authorized to approve CUPs, and
when any new construction or any changes to an exterior of a structure are involved, the
Architectural Review Committee will also review the project and make a recommendation
to the Planning Commission. The City Council would consider this project only in the
event of an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision of the project.
Parking
Parking rates for various land uses are described in AGMC Section 16.56.060. High
schools and colleges are required to provide one parking space for each classroom and
office, and five spaces for each classroom. Although these are the required parking space
ratios in the AGMC, staff notes later in this report that the practical realities of Cuesta’s

plans and ultimate build-out could dictate a higher parking need than required in the
AGMC. Cuesta plans on creating up to five classrooms at this site, plus support offices
and study hall. The parking requirements for colleges is established in the AGMC Section
16.56.060 and are illustrated in Table 1:
Table 1: Parking Requirements
Project Component Parking Rate Parking Required
Classrooms (x5) 5 spaces each 25 spaces
Study Hall 5 spaces 5 spaces
Offices (x3) 1 space each 3 spaces
Total 33 spaces
Retail uses are required to provide one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross
floor area. The gross floor area of the existing building is approximately 9,400 square feet,
which requires 38 spaces, 5 more than what would be required for the proposed use. A
shared parking lot with 341 spaces serve all of the tenants at this site. The parking
requirement for all of the uses in this portion of the Five Cities Center, including the
proposed Cuesta facility, is 273 spaces. For purposes of this calculation, the parking rate
of the last use was used to estimate a parking requirement for the vacant suites. The uses
and parking requirements are provided in Table 2:

There are 341 parking spaces available in this area, which results in a parking surplus of
68 spaces.
Cuesta College staff anticipates a maximum of 90 students to be at the facility at any one
time. Despite compliance with the required parking rate, the number of vehicles
anticipated to need somewhere to park could be much higher during times of peak
demand. However, the noted 68 surplus in available parking is anticipated to be able to
help address this need. In addition, all Cuesta students are able to ride Regional
Transportation Authority buses for free with a valid student identification. The nearest bus
stop to the proposed location is across Rancho Parkway in the 5 Cities Center. Bus
ridership is expected to lessen the burden on the existing parking spaces and alleviate
some concern about insufficient parking for the use.
As previously mentioned, staff recommends requiring a CUP to establish the land use if
the development code is amended to allow educational institutions in the RC district. The
CUP process provides an opportunity to impose conditions of approval to mitigate
potential impacts. Conditions such as staggered class hours, limitations to the number of
classes that can be held concurrently, and targeted education to students about parking
availability and areas may be imposed to limit parking impacts on the adjacent businesses
and residential neighborhood. By allowing educational institutions as a permitted use, the
opportunity to impose conditions to mitigate potential impacts is not avai lable because no
discretionary permit would be required.
Other Considerations
Looking beyond this immediate request, a development code amendment could allow
other educational institutions to be established in the RC district. By definition, educational
institutions do not include trade schools and other commercial schools. Staff asks that the
City Council consider whether the DCA should also include making schools an allowed
use, which would permit trade and commercial schools in the RC district. Allowing
educational institutions and schools would provide greater flexibility to managers and
owners of property in the RC district when looking for a tenant to occupy vacant
commercial spaces.
Overall, staff is generally supportive of the proposed development code amendment to
allow educational institutions in the RC zone. Potential issues with the parking situation
can be addressed during the review process of the CUP. Therefore, staff recommends
that the City Council direct staff to move forward and process the requested development

code amendment to allow educational institutions as a conditionally permitted use in the
RC zone.
Next Steps
With feedback from City Council and the public, the applicant will decide whether to
prepare an application to initiate the DCA and the requisite land use entitlement to
establish an educational institution at this location . If an application is submitted, the
project will undergo review from the Staff Advisory Committee and Architectural Review
Committee prior to a public hearing with Planning Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Provide preliminary comments to the applicant regarding a potential development
code amendment and establishment of an educational institution; or
2. Provide other direction to staff and/or the applicant.
ADVANTAGES:
The applicant is currently seeking comments and suggestions from the City Council and
the public on processing a DCA and CUP to establish an educational institution in the RC
district. Comments made on the proposal will provide the applicant with information to
make a decision whether or not to submit an application for the subject project. A pre-
application discussion also provides an opportunity for Council and the public to provide
feedback about the use and code amendments prior to the submittal of a formal
application.
DISADVANTAGES:
Educational institutions do not directly generate sales tax revenue, as intended for uses
in the RC district, but will bring a significant number of students into the City that will
presumably shop and dine at other businesses located in the City, indirectly resulting in
sales tax revenue.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for the pre -application discussion. Appropriate
environmental review will be conducted as part of processing the formal project submittal
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.
