A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARROYO GRANDE APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND
CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE NO. 08-002, AND
VARIANCE CASE NO. 08-001 TO ADJUST LOT LINES FOR SEVEN (7)
EXISTING NON-CONFORMING RESIDENTIAL LOTS WITH AN
APPROXIMATE 12,000 SQUARE FOOT OPEN SPACE EASEMENT FOR
THE PROTECTION OF OAK TREES FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
BETWEEN MAY STREET AND PASEO PLACE
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande Planning Commission has considered Tentative Tract
Map and Conditional Certificate of Compliance 08-002, filed by Wayne and Heather
Jensen, to adjust lot lines for seven (7) non-conforming lots, accessed by Paseo Place
and May Street; and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande Planning Commission has considered Variance 08-001,
filed by Wayne and Heather Jensen, to deviate from front yard setbacks for four lots on
Paseo Place (Lots 19-22, Crown Hill Tract); and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande Planning Commission has held a public hearing on these
applications in accordance with the Development Code of the City of Arroyo Grande; and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande Planning Commission has found that this project is
consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code and the environmental
documents associated therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande Planning Commission reviewed this project in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and
the Arroyo Grande Rules and Procedures for Implementation of CEQA and has
determined that that environmental impacts associated with the project will be mitigated
to less than significant as set forth in a draft Mitigated Negative Declaration dated
December 16, 2008; and
WHEREAS, the Arroyo Grande Planning Commission finds, after due study, deliberation
and public hearing, the following circumstances exist:
Tentative Tract Map Findings:
1. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies,
plans, programs, intent, and requirements of the General Plan map and text and
the requirements of the Development Code and the proposed development may
be approved as being not contrary to the public health.
2. The site, as shown on the Tentative Tract Map, is physically suitable for the type of
development because the amount of grading will be reduced by identified building
envelopes with decreased front yard setbacks and identified mitigation measures
related to potential impacts have been set forth and are required to be
implemented.
RESOLUTION NO. 09-2076
PAGE 2
3. The site, as shown on the Tentative Tract Map, is physically suitable for the
proposed density because all necessary easements, parking, open space, and
setbacks can be provided or variance provided in accordance with the
Development Code.
4. The design of the Tentative Tract Map or the proposed improvements are not likely
to cause substantial damage to the natural environment, including fish, wildlife or
their habitat because the site is not located immediately adjacent to a creek and an
perpetual open space easement is being provided for the protection of oak trees.
5. The design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause
public health problems.
6. The design of the Tentative Tract Map and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use
of, property within the proposed Tentative Tract Map or that alternate easements
for access or for use will be provided, and that these alternative easements will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public.
7. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community
sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements a prescribed in
Division 7(commencing with Section 13000) of the California Water Code.
8. Adequate public services and facilities exist or will be provided as the result of the
proposed tentative tract map to support project development.
Variance Findings
1. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship not otherwise shared
by others within the surrounding area.
lf required to provide a full twenty (20l foot front yard setback, the property
owner would be required to pe�form extensive grading on a substandard lot.
2. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply
generally to other properties classified in the same zone.
The lot in question differs from most lots in the Residential Suburban (RSl zoning
district in that it is steeply sloped, unusually small and narrow.
3. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties classified in the same zone.
RESOLUTION NO. 09-2076
PAGE 3
Other property owners in the Residential Suburban (RSl Zoning district have built
single-family residences that do not provide twenty (201 feet of parking in front of
thei� garages.
4. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone.
Granting of the variance will allow the property owner to deve%p the lot in
question in a similar manner to other lots in the Residential Suburban (RSl
neighborhood.
5. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
Deviation from the front yard setback would not affect the public health, safety or
welfare, nor would it be materially injurious to other properties or improvements in
the vicinity of the lot in question. Parking in the driveway apron will not block
either the sidewalk, which ends at the apron, nor the on-street travel lane.
6. That the granting of a variance is consistent with the objectives and policies of
the General Plan and the intent of the Development Code.
The granting of the variance would allow the property owner to deve%p a
single-family residence while minimizing the amount of grading required for
de ve%pmen t.
Required CEQA Findings:
1. The City of Arroyo Grande has prepared an initial study pursuant to Section 15063
of the Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), for Tentative
Tract Map No. 08-002 and Variance No 08-001.
2. Based on the initial study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for
public review. A copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and related materials
is located at City Hall in the Community Development Department.
3. After holding a public hearing pursuant to State and City Codes, and considering
the record as a whole, the City Council adopts a negative declaration and finds
that there is no substantial evidence of any significant adverse effect, either
individually or cumulatively on wildlife resources as defined by Section 711.2 of the
Fish and Game Code or on the habitat upon which the wildlife depends as a result
of development of this project. Further, the City Council finds that said Mitigated
Negative Declaration reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis.

NO. 08-002
VARIANCE CASE NO. 08-001
I. AIR QUALITY
Short Term: In addition to the anticipated vehicle trips generated in
conjunction with the project, future construction activities would generate
dust, which could be a significant short-term impact to air quality. The
following mitigation measures will reduce dust generation caused by potential
construction activities to a less than significant level:
MM-III-1. During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be
used to keep all areas of vehicle movement damp enough to
prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum, this shall
include wetting down such areas in the later morning and after
work is completed for the day and whenever winds exceed 15
miles per hour.
MM-III-2. Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept
moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation.
MM-III-3. All vehicles hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials
shall be covered or maintain at least two feet of freeboard
(minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of
trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 23114.
MM-III-4. Wheel washers shall be installed where vehicles enter and
exit unpaved roads onto streets, or all trucks and equipment
shall be washed off before leaving the project site.
MM-III-5. Streets shall be swept at the end of each day if visible soil
material is carried onto adjacent paved roads.
Monitoring: Review of grading plans
Responsible Department: Public Works Department
Timeframe: Prior to grading permit issuance
II. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Oak Woodland: There is a native oak grove that wraps on the top of Crown
Hill. One oak tree is proposed to be removed, and additional mitigation
measure will reduce construction-related impacts to the oak grove to less
than significant levels.
RESOLUTION NO. 09-2076
PAGE 16
MM-IV-1 Any impacted oak trees are required to be replaced at a 9:1 ratio
with local coastal live oak tree seedlings with deep root
planters in the proposed open space area.
MM-IV-2. Fencing shall be installed around each oak tree or cluster of oak
trees adjacent to any grading and/or construction areas.
This fencing shall be located a minimum of 1.5 times the
dripline (distance from trunk to outermost canopy) of the tree
or cluster of trees. The fencing shall be installed prior to any
site clearing or grading activities, and shall remain in place
until construction is complete. The fence shall be a
minimum of 4' tall and supported by stakes at least every 10'
on center. Weatherproof signs shall be permanently posted
on the fences, stating the following: "Tree Protection Zone.
No personnel, materials or vehicles allowed. Do not move
or remove this fence."
MM-IV-2. All trees designated for removal shall be clearly marked with either
brightly colored ribbon or paint. All tree removals require
approval of the Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department.
MM-IV-3. The applicant shall retain a certified arborist during grading and
construction activities to ensure that all mitigation measures
relating to tree protection are implemented.
MM-IV-5. Prior to removal of any trees, a survey shall be conducted by a
qualified biologist to determine if any nesting birds will be
impacted by construction-related activities. If any nesting
birds are found, tree removal shall be conducted outside of
breeding season (September to February) and a"no
construction" buffer of at least 100' shall be established
around the nesting areas until such time that a qualified
biologist determines that the nesting areas are no longer
occupied.
Creek
Future building in conjunction with the project may introduce light and glare
into the nearby riparian area across Paseo Street causing a potential impact
to species within the riparian habitat.
MMIV-6. All lighting on the subject property should be directed away
from the creek and night lighting should be kept to the minimum necessary
for safety puposes. Decorative lighting should be of an intensity of 25 watts
or less.
RESOLUTION NO. 09-2076
PAG E 17
Analysis of Significance: Potentially significant impact unless mitigation
incorporation
Monitoring: Review of application for building permits
Responsible Department: Building and Fire Department
Department of Parks and Recreation
Timeframe: Prior to issuance of building permits
III. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The property is not located in an area that has been identified as a known
site for cultural resources. A portion of the property has previously been
graded for development, and it is unlikely that any cultural resources are
present on the site; however, the following mitigation measure is required to
ensure that the project will have a less than significant effect on cultural
resources:
MM-V-1. The following note shall be included on all construction documents:
"In the event that during grading, construction or
development of the project, and cultural resources are
uncovered, all work shall be halted until the City has
reviewed the resources for their significance. If human
remains (burials) are encountered, the County Coroner shall
be contacted immediately. The applicant may be required to
provide archaeological studies and/or mitigation measures."
Monitoring: Building permit applicants shall include note on submitted
building plans
Responsible Department: Public Works Department
Timeframe: Prior to issuing a grading permits
IV. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Gradinq and Erosion
The portion of the site proposed for development has been graded in the past. A
large flat terraced area was created on proposed Lot 3 along with an asphalt
driveway runs north and south.
To minimize erosion, building pads are proposed on the bottom portion of the
hillside adjacent to Paseo Street and May Street as identified on the proposed
plans. However, because of the high potential for further erosion of fill areas, all
existing features at the site subject to slippage and erosion must be repaired, and
drainage devices and corrective grading must be incorporated to prevent the
uncontrolled concentration of surface runoff.
Analysis of Significance: Less than significant as conditioned
Mitigation Measure:
RESOLUTION NO. 09-2076

1. The applicant shall submit a preliminary soils report.
Monitoring: The applicant shall submit a preliminary soils report
Responsible Department: Public Works Department
Timeframe: Prior to issuing a grading permit
V. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
The project will place residences adjacent to wildland areas, potentially
exposing both people and structures to wildland fires. The following mitigation
measure will reduce the risk of exposure to wildland fires to a less than
significant level:
MM-VII-1.The applicant shall submit a fuel modification plan, subject to
review and approval by the Community Development
