WHEREAS, the Planning Comm

due study, deliberation and public
1. The proposed use is conditionally permitted within the General Commercial
district; however, the project does not comply with all the applicable provisions
of the Development Code including, but not limited to Section 9-03.050, A
and D, or the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
2. The proposed use will impair the integrity and character of the neighborhood
because the proposed commercial use is not consistent with Section 9-
07.040.B of the Development Code which requires the front building setback
area to be landscaped, and the proposed mini-storage use is out of character
with the surrounding retail, restaurant and office uses.
3. The site is not suitable for the proposed intensity of development because the
site is already dense with mini-storage units and adding more storage units will
worsen the situation.
4. A variance cannot be granted to deviate from Section 9-07.040.A of the
Development Code requiring a fifteen foot (15') front setback because there
are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply
generally to other properties classified in the same zone.
5. The proposed project is not consistent with Objective 6.0 of the Land Use
Element because the metal siding of the proposed mini-storage expansion is
not architecturally harmonious with the rural, small town character of Arroyo
Grande and is not consistent with other commercial buildings in the vicinity.

6. The proposal will impair the City's economic enhancement policy to increase
the retail utilization of the Grand Avenue Corridor because the proposed mini-
storage expansion will displace any potential retail use at the project location.
7. The proposed mini-storage expansion is not consistent with the City's
Economic Development Strategy because it does not promote local patronage
or strong performance in satisfying local demand for goods and services and
the creation of additional jobs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Arroyo Grande hereby denies Conditional Use Permit Case No. 00-005, Lot Line
Adjustment Case No. 00-003, and Variance Case No. 00-002 based on the above
