B. REIATION OF WORK TO COMPREHENSIVE PIANNING PROGRAM
1. The program proposed will result in the preparation of a
General Plan, being a long range guide for the physical
development of the planning area, and will indicate intensity
of land use, provision for public facilities, and will in.. "
elude a priority schedule for public improvements.
2. The programming of capital improvements and financing plans
for such improvements is included within the present program.
3. The City Administrator of the City of Arroyo Grande will
serve as coordinator of all related plans of the departments
and subdivisions of the city goverrunent.
4. It is the intent of the City Council and Planning Commission
that the plans developed under the program contained herein
- shall be coordinated with plans of the County of San Luis
Obispo in the unincorporated area around the City, and with
adjacent City of Grover City. Coordination intended shall
be that such plans proposed herein will be properly inte-
grated into plans of the extended area surounding the City.
5. Included within the planning program are the preparation of
a Zoning Ordinance and a Subdivision Ordinance which, when
enacted, will serve to implement the General Plan. The
planning program also will provide for the development of
a Capital Improvement Program and an Economic Study, in-
cluding a study of the business district and proposed
industrial area to further carry out the General Plan through
precise plans.
C. REIATION TO FEDERAL INTERESTS
The overall planning program will provide a pattern for future
community development and stability, to preserve the community
values and prevent conditions leading to further urban blight
by projecting areas of growth of the city, locations for com-
patible forms of land use and public facilities needed to serve
the various types of land use. The Plan will be implemented by
preparation of a Zoning, Subdivision Ordinance, Economic Analysis,
Business Districtsnd Industrial Study and Capital Improvement
Program, as devices designed to carry out the intent of the
General Plan. The implementation of the General Plan will pro-
vide for community stability by preventing the deteriorating
effects of undesirable associations of land use, unsatisfactory
patterns of land division and inadequate public facilities,
thereby preventing urban deterioration which is particularly
important in this highly developed area.
D. PRIOR PIANNING WORK COMPLETED
The City has not completed any Comprehensive Gene,ral Plan studies
at any earlier time. A Zoning and Subdivision Ordina.nce present-
ly in effect are inadequate, since a General Plan has not been
in effect in the past. The City has previously established a
Planning Commission.
E. It is contemplated that further, more precise, planning to
implement the General Plan, will be undertaken subsequent to the
planning program contained herein. Such plans will further serve
to implement the purpose of the General Plan.
F. The planning area is considered to be all of the incorporated
territory of the City of Arroyo Grande and the area of in-
fluence in the unincorporated area around the City. The p lannin.g
area can be generally described as all of the present city limits
of approximately eight square miles, and the unincorporated
area adjacent to the city on the east, north and southerly
boundaries, all of which encompasses about fifteen square miles.

It is the intention of the City of Arroyo Grande that the de-
velopment of the General Plan will be coordinated with the
County of San Luis Obispo planning, for that portion of area
outside the limits of the City. By developing the plan in
correlation with county plans, the plan for the city would be
correlated with plans for the greater unincorporated areas.
It is also the intention of the City of Arroyo Grande to
correlate their plans with the adjacent city of Grover City.
