The proposed use is permitted within the subject district pursuant to the provisions of this section and complies with all the applicable provisions of this title, the goals, and objectives of the Arroyo Grande General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the City. The application is denied for the reasons outlined in Section 5 below for failing to meet the required findings. 2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in which it is to be established or located. The application is denied for the reasons outlined in Section 5 below for failing to meet the required findings. 3. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use or development that is proposed. The application is denied for the reasons outlined in Section 5 below for failing to meet the required findings. 4. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure public health and safety. Although the city's water supply can adequately support the project at the current time, it would be detrimental to the community during future droughts due to its anticipated high water -usage. 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. The Planning Commission could not make the above finding in the affirmative. The proposed project will be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity of the project site due to the anticipated increase in traffic generated by the use. Vehicles attempting to turn eastbound onto E. Grand Ave would create a perilous situation due to the speed and volume of vehicles that use that street on a daily basis. Additionally, it is expected that many patrons would avoid turning onto E. Grand Ave. and use the local streets located to the north of E. Grand Ave. as an alternative route, which would increase the volume of vehicular traffic to unsafe levels for residents of those neighborhoods. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande hereby denies with prejudice Lot Line Adjustment 24-001 and Conditional Use Permit 23-010. On motion by Vice Chair Berlin, seconded by Chair Maraviglia, and by the following roll call vote, to wit: AYES: Berlin, Maraviglia, Buchanan, Roof, Sackrison NOES: None ABSENT: None the foregoing Resolution was adopted this 16th day of April, 2024.
