CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE DENYING WITH PREJUDICE
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT 24-001 AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 23-010; 414, 418, 422 EAST GRAND AVE.;
APPLIED FOR BY RYAN TALLEY
WHEREAS, the project site, which includes three (3) existing lots, is approximately 0.43
acres, zoned Highway Mixed -Use (HMU), and is located near the comer of East Grand
Avenue and Oak Street; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has filed Lot Line Adjustment 24-001 to adjust existing lot lines to
extinguish two of the existing lots, leaving one (1) remaining lot at the project site; and
WHEREAS, Municipal Code Table 16.20.140 requires that lot line adjustments be reviewed
by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has also filed Conditional Use Permit 23-010 for the development
of an automated drive-thru car wash; and
WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Committee considered the Conditional Use Permit
and Lot Line Adjustment on July 3, 2023, and recommended approval of the project as
submitted; and
WHEREAS, the Staff Advisory Committee considered the project on March 4, 2024, and
recommended approval; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has 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 determined that CEQA
does not apply to projects which a public agency does not approve pursuant to State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15270; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande has reviewed the
project at a duly noticed public hearing on April 2, 2024 and considered all written
evidence and oral testimony; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission tentatively denied the proposed project,
necessitating staff to return with appropriate findings for denial; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the
following circumstances exist:
Conditional Use Permit Findings:
1. 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.
