ENGINEERING (ENGRAVING);
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande has considered
Conditional Use Permit Case No. 07-012 (Plot Plan Review Case No. 07-016), filed by
Quality Engineering (Engraving) to conditionally permit a Pet Tag Identification Engraving

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 15, 2008 to
consider Conditional Use Permit No. 07-012 (Plot Plan Review Case No. 07-016)
proposing to establish a pet tag identification engraving and mail order retailing operation
within the existing fenced yard and buildings located at 1320 E. Grand Avenue, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that this project is consistent with the
General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered the staff report and description of
the proposed use and determined it is similar to the characteristics of Printing and
Publishing which is a Conditionally Permitted Use within the Gateway Mixed Use (GMU)
District according to Table 16.36.030(A) of the Municipal Code, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed this project in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that it is categorically
exempt pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA guidelines, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds after due study, deliberation and public
hearing the following circumstances and facts exist:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
Conditional Use Permit Findings:
1. The proposed use is similar to Printing and Publishing which is conditionally
allowed in the GMU zoning district, and the characteristics of the proposed use
complies with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and development
policies and standards of the City considering the unique location and existing
conditions of the subject property.
. The proposed use is an indoor processing and sales use involving very
limited retail traffic and no special loading or outdoor storage or activities
other than employee parking.
. There are no toxic materials, nighttime operations nor obnoxious noise,
odor, vibration or other adverse impacts associated with the proposed use
(some daytime noises during operation would be similar to existing
adjacent printing equipment or normal traffic noise on E. Grand Avenue).

The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in
which it is to be established.
. The nonconforming existing property and buildings on a flag lot behind retail
office and services uses, fronting on E. Grand Avenue, is not suitable for
any pedestrian oriented retail or office uses; residential uses would require
redevelopment and involve shared access and parking behind the existing
retail, office and service uses that front E. Grand Avenue.
. The adjoining existing residential uses in the GMU and SFR districts are
separate and front on Fair View Street.
The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use proposed.
. The unique location, configuration and existing buildings are suitable for
mail order retailing and office and the clean light processing proposed,
similar in character, type and intensity as the adjoining printing and
publishing business, but with less pedestrian or vehicle traffic generation.
. The proposed use does not involve night or weekend operations nor
outdoor activity other than employee parking.
There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure public health and safety.
. The use is low intensity weekday operation involving approximately five
people, an occupancy similar to small office, retail, and residential uses in
the vicinity.
. Existing services and utilities are adequate.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety of welfare or
materially injurious to the properties or people living or working in the vicinity.
. There are no apparent detrimental impacts associated with the existing
printing and publishing use, which is similar in character to the proposed
use.
. There are no night-time loading nor outdoor activities, which produced
problems from inappropriate prior use, adjoining the separate residential
uses within the GMU and SFR on properties fronting Fair View Street.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Arroyo Grande hereby approves Conditional Use Permit Case No. 07-012 (Plot Plan
Review Case No. 07-016), with the above findings and subject to the conditions as set
forth in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

call vote, to wit:
