WHEREAS, the City Council of Arroyo Grande adopted the updated General Plan which
became effective on October 9, 2001 and requires a comprehensive review and necessary
revisions from time to time to the Development Code and zoning map for consistency in
accordance with Government Code Section 65860; and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 21, 2006
and recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the Arroyo Grande Municipal
Code for the purposes of General Plan consistency and implementation of its goals and
policies; and
WHEREAS, after consideration of all testimony and all relevant evidence, the Planning
Commission has determined that the following Development Code Amendment findings can
be made in an affirmative manner:
A. The proposed revisions to Title 16 are required to ensure consistency with the
objectives, policies and implementation measures of the General Plan, particularly
the land use element, and is therefore desirable to implement the provisions of the
General Plan.
B. The proposed change in zone and revisions to Title 16 will not adversely affect the
public health, safety, and welfare or result in an illogical land use pattern.
C. The proposed change of zones and revisions to Title 16 satisfy the intent of
chapters 16.016, 16.20, 16.32, 16.44 and 16.52, of the Municipal Code and provide
for internal consistency;
D. The proposed change of zones and revisions to Title 16 are within the scope of the
Program EIR prepared for the 2001 General Plan Update, and the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed amendment are less than significant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Arroyo Grande hereby recommends that the City Council approve Development Code

between buildings on adjacent lots be less than ten (10) feet or less than
required by other state or local laws; excepting, however, for adjacent lots where
a common wall is shared in a zero lot line attached project.
4. For zero lot line projects where detached dwelling units are to be
constructed upon a lot line, a five foot maintenance easement shall be provided

development property owners.
h. All signs shall be appropriately integrated with the overall
