A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 05-017 AND VARIANCE 05-
006; LOCATED AT 206 NORTH HALCYON ROAD;
APPLIED FOR BY THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
WHEREAS, the City of Arroyo Grande has filed Conditional Use Permit 05-017 and
Variance 05-006 to place a modular office building and improve six (6) parking spaces on
a vacant lot located at 206 North Halcyon Road; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande has considered
Conditional Use Permit 05-017 and Variance 05-006 at a public hearing on January 17,
2006 in accordance with the Development Code of the City of Arroyo Grande; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found that this project is consistent with the City's
General Plan, Development Code and the environmental documents associated
therewith, and has determined that the project is categorically exempt under the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds, after due study, deliberation and public
hearing, the following findings can be made in an affirmative manner:
ronditional s _ P .rmit Findina�s�.
The proposed use is permitted within the Public Facility (PF) district pursuant to
Section 16.16.050 of the Development Code, and complies with all applicable
provisions of the Development Code, the goals and objectives of the Arroyo
Grande General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the City.
2. The proposed use will not impair the integrity and character of the district in which
it is to be established or located because the proposed use is consistent with the
PF zoning district, and modular building will be appropriately screened through the
use of vegetation.
3. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use or development that is
proposed because all the necessary easements, circulation, parking and setbacks
would be provided, with the exception of the front yard setback, which is
addressed with Variance 05-006.
4. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure the public health and safety.
5. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity because the
proposed project would not create adverse environmental impacts.

1�F.17F1iT.T��IT � :
1. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the minimum required front
yard setback, when viewed in light of existing lot dimensions, Uniform Building
Code requirements and parking standards, would result in a much smaller building
footprint. The hardship of requiring a 20' front yard setback is not shared by others
within the surrounding area, as the immediate area allows a range of front yard
setbacks, from 0-15'.
2. There are exceptional conditions applicable to the property involved; specifically,
the lot is 6,000 square-feet, whereas the minimum lot size for the PF zoning district
is 25,000 square-feet. While not every lot in the PF zoning district is 25,000
square-feet, they are generally greater than 6,000 square-feet.
3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the required front yard
setback would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties classified in the PF zoning district, as it would reduce the proposed
building footprint to less than 24% of the lot area, whereas other properties in the
PF zoning district can develop up to 45% of the lot area.
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, as
other similar properties could also apply for a variance, which would be held to the
same required findings as this variance.
5. 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.
6. The granting of the variance is consistent with the objectives and policies of the
general plan and the intent of this title.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Arroyo Grande hereby approves Conditional Use Permit 05-017 and Variance 05-006,
with the above findings and subject to the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A", attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
On motion by Commissioner Fellows, seconded by Chair Brown, and by the following roll
