A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE APPROVING VIEWSHED
REVIEW 04-015; LOCATED AT 1120 THE PIKE; APPLIED
FOR BY ROBERT LUSE
WHEREAS, the applicant has filed Viewshed Review 04-015 to expand the first-story
and add a second-story to an existing single-family residence; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande has considered
Viewshed Review 04-015 at a public hearing on November 16, 2004 in accordance
with the Municipal Code of the City of Arroyo Grande; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed this project in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project
is Categorically Exempt per Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds, after due study, deliberation and public
hearing, the following circumstances exist:
Viewshed Review Findings:
1. The proposed structure is consistent with the intent of this section.
The proposed structure conforms to the deve%pment standards for the
Single-Family (SF) zoning district, including building height.
2. The proposed structure is consistent with the established scale and
character of the neighborhood and will not unreasonably or
unnecessarily affect views of surrounding properties.
Based on the visual survey conducted by staff, the proposed structu�e
wou/d be consistent with other two-story homes in the general a�ea
and because the proposed structure is located along The Pike, it would
have less of a visual impact than if it were located along an inte�ior
street; the proposed structure will not affect any views of surrounding
properties from The Pike.
3. The proposed structure will not unreasonably or unnecessarily interfere
with the scenic view from any other property, judged in light of
permitting reasonable use and development of the property on which
the proposed structure or expansion is to occur.
Because there are no homes across The Pike or two-story homes behind
the existing structure, there are no scenic views from any other p�operties
