MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER ~
SUBJECT; CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR
TRACT 2265
DATE: APRIL 9, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council adopt the Resolution accepting improvements, offers of
dedication. and easements within Tract 2265.
FUNDING:
There is no immediate fiscal impact. Maintenance of these facilities will be funded from
Public Works maintenance funds in future years.
DISCUSSION:
Tract 2265 is located on the north side of James Way as shown in Exhibit 1. The final map
for this tract was approved by the Council on August 8, 2000 and was subsequently
recorded on August 23, 2000.
The required improvements have been constructed and the developer is required to
warranty the improvements for a period of one year. Staff has inspected the improvements
and recommends that the Council accept the improvements and the offers of dedication.
Lot 41 of Tract 2265 has been graded and prepared for a future elementary school site.
The Lucia Mar Unified School District was contacted in regards to the acceptance of the
tract improvements. The School District indicated that the current improvements
associated with Lot 41 are satisfactory.
Erosion control has been a concern during construction of Tract 2265 and will be
periodically checked until all landscape vegetation has reached a satisfactory level of
maturity to prevent erosion. Staff estimates the costs for the ongoing erosion control ofthe
site to be within the 10% warranty bond amount.
The roadways for Tract 2265 were subjected to extensive construction traffic resulting in
numerous stains, patches, and premature aging. The developer has agreed to place an oil
seal coat over all proposed public roads for the tract; however, due to the continued home
construction, the oil seal coat will not be applied until the completion of the one year
warranty period.

..
Gentlemen;
For the past 19 years the City of Arroyo Grande has hosted the fund
raising event Walk America. We raise money for research of the over
3000 birth defects that prevent babies from being born healthy.
For most of these years we have started and finished our walk at the
green space on Nelson & Short Streets.
Our event starts with assembly at about 6:30AM and we conclude with a
BBQ lunch from about 11:30AM to 2:PM.
Over the years our event has grown to a point where we will walk nearly
600 people. These people come from businesses such as MidState Bank,
K Mart, Ralph's, to name a few. Large or small they are the ones who
make up our community. In teams of employees, family members and
friends, they walk 10 miles and have raised close to $400,000.
.
Our City receives National prominence in the publications the March of
Dimes provides. We are about 95% volunteer driven and return over 75%
of every dollar to the cause.
In the past a temporary use permit was $20.00. We recognize and
appreciate the contribution the City makes in allowing us to conduct our
event. We are afforded many 'extras' and are sure that $20.00 does not
cover them. But on behalf of our goal, to insure that every baby born is
born healthy, we are requesting a waiver of the new fee of $105.00.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER ttr
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE DOWNTOWN
PARKING FUND FOR THE SCENIC CREEKSIDE WALK THROUGH THE
HISTORIC VILLAGE OF ARROYO GRANDE, PHASE III PROJECT
DATE: APRIL 9, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council appropriate $2,500 from the Downtown Parking Fund to be
used for the design to reconfigure the Olohan Alley parking lot adjacent to the proposed
Scenic Creekside Walk Through the Historic Village of Arroyo Grande, Phase III project.
FUNDING:
The FY 2001/02 projected year-end fund balance of the Downtown Park Fund is
approximately $44,200. This $2,500 allocation will bring the year-end fund balance to
$41,700.
DISCUSSION:
Phase III of the Scenic Creekside Walk Through the Historic Village of Arroyo Grande will
consist of improving the bluff top walkway along the north bank of Arroyo Grande Creek
between Bridge Street and Short Street. As part of the scoping process for the project, it
was determined that there is an opportunity to expand the creek area adjacent to the
proposed walk. In order to accomplish this, the Olohan Alley parking lot will need to be
reconfigured. Staff has developed a preliminary layout of the parking lot accommodating
the expanded creek area and it appears that there will be no loss of parking space. In fact,
there may be an opportunity to add spaces.
However, to fully determine the number of parking spaces within the parking lot, a
preliminary design needs to be prepared. This $2,500 appropriation will be used for this
effort. If it is determined that the proposed reconfiguration of the parking lot is desirable,
additional Downtown Parking Funds may be requested to accomplish the parking lot
redesign.
The Creekside Walk project is being funded through a grant from the San Luis Obispo
Council of Governments. These grants are earmarked for non-motorized enhancements
and cannot be used for improvements to the parking lot. Therefore, in order to expand the
creek area, other funds would need to be added to the project that can be used for
improvements to the parking lot.

BY: TERESA MCCLISH, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CASE NO. 02-004, TRANSITIONS
MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION; 202 VERNON STREET
DATE: APRIL 9, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution upholding the decision
of the Planning Commission of February 19, 2002 to approve Conditional Use Permit
02-004 for the operation of an adult day care facility in the Single Family Residential
District.
FUNDING:
No fiscal impact.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission considered this item after public hearing on February 19,
2002 and approved the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) based on the fact that all the
findings could be made in an affirmative manner (reference Attachment 1 for Planning
Commission meeting minutes and staff report). On March 1, 2002, the Principal of the
Valley View Adventist Academy and a group of residential neighbors filed appeals
stating that they are in opposition to a day care facility for mentally disabled adults being
located in a residential neighborhood and near a school (Attachment 2). Specifically,
the appellants believe that such an adult day care facility should be located within a
commercial or office district similar to medical and related health services.
Transitions Mental Health Association applied for a permit to continue to operate their
Safe Haven Social Rehabilitation Day Program for disabled, mentally ill adults.
Transitions operates eight different programs throughout the County. The Safe Haven
program has operated in Arroyo Grande since 1980 in residential neighborhoods within
the Village Commercial and Office Districts. Several neighbors of the previous location
indicated that the facility had no adverse impact on the neighborhood. The purpose of
the Safe Haven program is to provide a non-institutional environment conducive to
social rehabilitation and community integration.

CITY COUNCIL
APPEAL OF TRANSITIONS CUP 02-004
APRIL 9, 2002
PAGE 2
Since the Planning Commission hearing, the City has received approximately thirty
letters in support of the appeal (Attachment 3). Below are responses to concerns raised
by the public.
. The CUP allows the operation of the Safe Haven program only, and if a change
were requested, the applicant would have to amend their CUP. Transitions
clientele are not violent criminals or sex offenders.
. The program runs from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM four days a week and from 4:00 PM
to 8:00 PM on Wednesdays. Transitions staff are present at all times.
. A van transports Transitions clientele to and from the project site. According to
the City's traffic guidelines, there is no traffic impact to the neighborhood.
. Properties within a 300-foot radius were sent three notices regarding the project.
Please refer to Attachment 4.
. There are two types of Adult Day Care facilities specified by the California Health
and Safety Code; adult day health care and adult day care. Adult day health
care facilites provide limited medical and nursing services and psychiatric and
psychological counseling in addition to social rehabilitation. Each are treated
differently in terms of zoning requirements and provisions by various cities in the
County and in California.
Development Code section 16.32.04A lists "Large Family Daycare (seven or more
children)", subject to specific use development standards and permit requirements
outlined in sections 16.52.120 and 16.16.190. Despite these special provisions, some
interpretation is required due to references to childcare and children versus other types
of day care for adults or elderly. The Community Development Director is authorized to
approve large family day care permits, subject to appeal, without a public hearing, but in
this case required a Conditional Use Permit involving a Planning Commission public
hearing. The Planning Commission's approval of this use permit has been appealed to
the City Council.
If the Council wishes to address public concerns regarding constant supervision of
clients by Transitions staff, the following modification can be made to Condition of
Approval No.4:
4. Hours of operation are restricted to Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
from 10:00AM to 2:00PM and on Wednesdays from 4:00PM to 8:00PM unless otherwise
approved by the Community Development Director. Transitions staff shall supervise
clientele on and off-site at all times during the hours of oDeration. No outdoor activities
may take place before 8:00AM or after 6:00PM.
Additionally, to further ensure that the proposed use will not impair the integrity and
character of the Single Family Residential District, the Council may wish to amend
Condition of Approval No.3 as Follows:
3. The Planning Commission shall review the Conditional Use Permit in one year
from the approval date (Februarv 19, 2002) to determine compliance with Conditions of
Approval and to ensure that the use has not impaired the integrity and character of the

The two suggested modifications are included in Exhibit A of the attached Resolution. The
Council may not wish to make the suggested modifications or may choose to make further
modifications, in which case staff will strike or change the resolution as directed.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration:
- Deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission decision;
- Include the modified conditions identified by staff and approve the Conditiohal
Use Permit;
- Make other modifications and approve the Conditional Use Permit;
- Do not approve staffs recommendation and direct staff to prepare a resolution
with the appropriate findings of fact based upon substantial evidence in the

April 23, 2002; and direct staff to work with the applicant to find a non-
residentially zoned location for the proposed facility;
- Continue the appeal to the City Council meeting of April 23, 2002 and direct staff

proposed facility; or
- Provide other direction to staff.

PUBLIC HEARING - Conditional Use Permit Case No. 02-004; Applicant - Transitions,
Mental Health Association; Location - 202 Vernon Street. Staff Report by Teresa
McClish.
Ms. McClish said the applicant is requesting approval of the conditional use permit to
allow an adult day care to provide social rehabilitation services to disabled mentally ill
adults in a residential neighborhood. The applicant proposes to serve nine clients on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and has amended the application to have a
maximum of 14, not 17 clients, on Wednesday evenings from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Transitions has operated in Arroyo Grande for over 15 years on both LePoint Street and

subsequently on Mason Street. Daycare facilities are an allowable use in residential
Districts however the Development Code does not have specific requirements for adult
day care facilities and this is why the applicant is required to apply for a Conditional
Use Permit.
Ms. McClish highlighted the conditions of approval including improvements and parking
requirements. She said the applicant is requesting an exception to the undergrounding
utilities and curb, gutter and sidewalk requirements.
Public Comment
Barry Johnson, Program Director spoke saying they had been operating in Arroyo
Grande for 20 years. He further described the type of clients that would be visiting the
facility, saying they are community members and the program provides social support
and provides an outlet for the participants to do self advocacy, learn independent living
skills, volunteer in the community and allows them to reintegrate into the community
and graduate back into society to attend school and work, A van provides
transportation to the program and they will be providing the parking required. There
would not be a lot of traffic, only one or two trips a day to the facility. The average
number of clients on any given day would be approximately eight or nine. He asked
that people who were at the meeting in support of the program stand up. Twenty
people stood to show support. He then read a letter from Patricia Price, 138 Whitely, a
neighbor from their former location in support of the project and in addition he
presented a petition from others who were in support, but had left earlier because it
was so late.
Planning Commission concerns:
1. Was a Conditional Use Permit required for the other facilities in Arroyo Grande.
2. How are clients screened.
3. Was there much police activity at the other facilities.
4. Will the facility be leased or bought,
5. Where would the van to transport clients normally be stored.
6. Would there be any other kinds of activities at the site to cause more trips.
7, Besides the "Rehabilitation Day Program" are they proposing to have any other
programs at the residence.
Mr. Johnson replied-
1. A Conditional Use Permit was not required previously at the other sites.
2. The referral process involves diagnosis, past history. Persons with sexually violent
history are not allowed into the residential programs.
3. There was no police activity at the previous facilities and no complaints.
4. The facility is to be leased.
5. The van is normally stored at their main office in San Luis Obispo.
6. Once a year they may have open house or a guest speaker to provide instruction
now and again.
MINUTES Page 10
PLANNING COMMISSION

7. No other program would be utilized at this time and they would have to come back
to the City to request a change if they wanted to add any other programs.
Rae Belle Gambs, President, National Alliance for Mentallv III, said she lived in San Luis
Obispo for 17 years, directly behind the Transitions Mental Health group home and
there was never a problem with them.
Linda DeBlauw, 275 Larchmont Drive. Arrovo Grande, said she lives right next door to
the proposed project and was strongly opposed to it. She said she was afraid of the
mentally ill because they do things completely out of character. In addition, she said
there was a school close by and she had a concern about children being around
mentally ill people, and the potential increase in traffic; other people in the
neighborhood are also concerned about this.
Michele Cochran, 200 S. Mason Street. Arrovo Grande, said she lived directly across
the street from the former Transitions residence. At first, she had been concerned
because she had an 11-year-old daughter, but there was never a single problem with
them in the six years they were there. She said she wished all her neighbors were as
good as they were and she thought the community could do with more programs like
this to reach out to people. She and her husband were in full support of this program.
Claire Clark. 562 Crown Hill. Arrovo Grande, said she lives right next door to Paulding
School and she believes Transitions would be a similar neighbor in their predictability.
Over the years, she kept her eye on the Mason Street property (former residence of
Transitions); it was always kept in good condition, and looked just like any other
neighbor from the outside.
Jason Cox. member of Safe Haven program, stated how important the program has
been to him and that it really does work.
Sam DeTraglia, member of Safe Haven DrOgram, said he had been attending the
program since 1988 and it has been very helpful to him in many areas of his life. He
said since October 2001 they have not had a permanent place to attend.
Jennifer Rose 801 S. Halcvon #20. Arrovo Grande, member of Safe Haven, said she
had learned independent living skills and social support in a non-judgmental safe
environment. She said they had prepared meals for Growing Grounds, People's Kitchen
and Prado Day-Care center.
Rebecca DeLa Rosa Crist, 215 Garden Street, Arrovo Grande, property owner of 202
Vernon, said there is an empty lot between the DeBlauw's house and this property.
She further stated that she has a sister who was diagnosed with a mental illness and
because of this program, has come a long way. She said it is a wonderful program,
and the clients give to the neighborhood and we should give something back to them.
J.T. Haas, 9360 Carmel Road, Atascadero, President of the Board of Transitions
Mental Health Assoc., said he works for PG&E and Transitions approached the
company to start a Transitions-run garden on some land next to a substation (Growing
Grounds Farm). At first PG&E had some concern, but he had been involved with this
program since 1984 and said they are wonderful folk and there is nothing to be fearful
of.
Jill Bolster-White, 3111 Los Osos Vallev Road, Executive Director of Transitions. said
she could assure the neighbors that they have a very good history of being good

neighbors and plan to keep that up. We would like to overcome the stigma and we
make an extra effort to do this.
End of Public Comment
The Planning Commission said they had no further concerns and believed this program
would be beneficial to the community and would not significantly increase traffic or
parking and it would not be harmful to the neighborhood. They further stated that
Transitions has had a good track record for the past 20 years and they could support
this program.
Commissioner Brown made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Fowler to adopt the
Resolution approving Conditional Use Permit Case No. 02-004, deleting Conditions 13,

Conditional Use Permit Case Number 02-004
202 Vernon Street
February 19, 2002
Page 2
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Adult
Day Care to provide social rehabilitation services to disabled, mentally ill adults in a
residential neighborhood. For a detailed description of the "Safe Haven" program,
please refer to the applicant's letter in Attachment 1.
Staff Advisorv Committee
The SAC reviewed the project on January 22, 2002 and discussed issues of parking,
undergrounding of utilities, curb gutter and sidewalk and how the California Health
and Safety Code pertains to the application (reference Attachment 2 for meeting
notes). The applicant is requesting an exception to the City's undergrounding and
curb, gutter and sidewalk requirements (reference Attachment 1 pg. 2 of the
applicant's letter).
DISCUSSION:
Development Code
The application is for an Adult Day Care, which is similar in use to a Large Family Day
Care facility, an allowable use in residential districts. Large Family Day Care facilities
are allowed subject to a minor use permit.. Initially, staff processed Transition's
application with a minor use permit and noticed neighbors of the project site
accordingly. After receiving many letters in opposition to the project, and after
reviewing a survey of other cities in California and finding that the majority address
Adult Day Care facilities through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process, a CUP
was required for the subject application.
The applicant proposes to serve nine clients on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Fridays and has amended his application to have a Maximum of 14 clients on
Wednesdays from 4-8 pm. Transitions has operated in Arroyo Grande for over 1 5
years on LePoint Street and subsequently on Mason Street. The applicant has
submitted photos of the Mason Street building to show that the residence was
maintained in good condition while occupied by Transitions (Attachment 3).

Purpose
A CUP is intended to allow the establishment of those uses which have some
special impact or uniqueness such that their effect on the surrounding environment
cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a particular
location. The CUP application process allows for the review of the location and the
design of the proposed use, configuration of improvements, and potential impacts
on the surrounding area from the proposed use. The review shall determine
whether the proposed use should be permitted by weighing the public need for and

benefit to be derived from the use against any adverse impact it may cause.
Authoritv
The Planning Commission has the authority to approve CUPs, subject to conditions -
of approval (contained in the Resolution), and findings that the project is consistent
with City policies and standards. The Planning Commission may deny a CUP
application if the findings cannot be made (e.g., the project would be detrimental to
the public, health, safety and welfare).
-
If issues arise at a public hearing that were unforeseen, the Planning Commission
has the discretion to add conditions that are not included in the draft resolution of
approval. Conversely, the Planning Commission has the authority to strike
conditions contained in the draft resolution of approval, if in the Commission's
judgement they are not required.
FindinQs
The Planning Commission may approve a CUP application, in whole or in part, only if
all of the findings of fact can be made in an affirmative matter (reference the first
page of the Resolution).
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
A public notice was sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the proposed
project, and a public notice was placed in the Times-Press-Recorder. Staff has
received 17 written comments to date, seven in opposition and ten in support of the
project (Attachment 5). The Pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church adjacent to
the project site spoke to the Community Development Director in support of the
project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Staff has reviewed this project in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines and the City of Arroyo Grande Rules and
Procedures for Implementation of CEQA. An initial study was prepared and based on
this analysis, a Draft Negative Declaration was prepared and noticed for public
review.

EXHIBIT "A"
GROUNDS FOR APPEAL
1. Staff initially informed the public that applicant was
"Transitions", and the project was a "Large Day Care 01-001 to allow for the
operation of a social support groups facility for disabled adults", and
processed the application as a minor use pennit. (See Exhibit A-I attached
hereto.) Due to strong opposition from the neighbors, this process was
aborted.
2. The applicant is actually "Transitions Mental Health
Association", and the project now applied for is a "Conditional Use Permit
. to allow an Adult Day Care to provide social rehabilitation services to
disabled, mentally ill adults. in a residential neighborhood." (See Staff
Report to Planning Commission dated February 19, 2002.)
3. Prior to the processing of the applicant's current application,
staff surveyed other cities in California and found that they all address Adult
Day Care facilities through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process.
However, none of the cities surveyed allow such use in a Single Family
Residential (SF) zone. (See Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, which evidences
that the City of Cerritos only allows such use in a Light Industrial Zone; the
City of Gardena only allows such use in Multiple Dwelling, Public and
Semipublic Facilities. and Local Servicing Commercial Districts; and the City
of Garden Grove only allows such use in Commercial Zones (Cl, C2, and
C3).)
4. Health and Safety Code Section 1597.40 has absolutely no
application to the subject project. That section only applies to 'family day
1
-_._.-..._.._".._-_...._~.__..-
care homes for children." Such facilities "should be situated in normal
residential surroundings so as to give children the home environment which
is conducive to healthy and safe development." (See Exhibit A-3 attached
hereto.)
5. Section 16.52.120 of the Arroyo Grande Development Code
likewise has absolutely no application to the subject project. That section is
merely the local ordinance which implements the State law dealing with day
care homes for children. Accordingly, the development standards contained
therein are inapposite to the proposed project which contemplates a facility
for disabled adults.
6. The proposed project is in the Single Family Residential zone.
Table 9-06.040-A of the Arroyo Grande Development Code prohibits use
comparable to the proposed project in that Boarding/Rooming Houses (A9.).
Senior Independent Living Uses (AI0.). Congregate Care, Assisted Living
(A 11.), and Convalescent Care (AI2.) uses are not permitted in uses in the
Single Family Residential zone.
7. Consistent therewith it is appellants' understanding that the two
previous locations of Transitions Mental Health Association within the City of
Arroyo Grande were not in a Single Family Residential zone, but were both
in a Commercial Office zone.
8. The proposed project should be located within the Commercial
Office zone as a permitted use in either General Commercial. Village
Commercial or Office Professional. as a medical and related heath services
for humans as authorized in section A.6. of Table 9-07.030-A of the Arroyo
Grande Development Code.
9. It is the appellants' further understanding that the City of Arroyo

DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2001
RE: LARGE DA YCARE PERMIT FOR ADULT DAY CARE - VERNON ST.
We noticed residences in the neighborhood of a proposed adult day care at 202
Vernon St. (The last requested application was withdrawn due to pressure on the
proposed landlord from neighbors.) We received several letters (not as many as
before) opposing the use.
We have been processing this as a Large Day Care facility (allowable in residential
districts) because our code doesn't have a specific permit requirement for adult day
care. However, I just found a League of CA cities summary from last summer with
many cities indicating they require CUP's.
"'"'-'1"''>"> f,,,,V\ v\"o we.: <: CJ.,,~
For the subject site, parking is an issu.!'l\although they use a van to transport clients
and staff. According to our parking requirements (for daycares/schools) we would
require 5 off street spaces, they propose one. Otherwise, for a residential area, the
site is well located, being adjacent to a school, and across from the Community
Center.
I'm not sure if we should kick this application up to a CUP. I'll call in Wed. to
discuss.

Recently we've been receiving an increased number of requests for
adult day
health care centers which, under our current zoning regulations, are
not
provided for. What zones do you permit them? What are your zoning
regulations, Le. .development standards, including parking, etc. Any
help
you can render ASAP will be much appreciated.

we've been addressing them through the CUP process only in the CoO zone
~(commercial office). I know what you mean though, there are a slew of new
proposed adult day care facilities being proposed. Hope this helps.

Adult Day Care facilities require a CUP in Garden Grove. Small
v;acilities (6 or fewer patients) are only allowed in residential
zones (R1, R2 and R3), while larger facilities (7 or more) are
only allowed in commercial zones (C1, C2 and C3). They are required
to meet the setback, landscaping, height, and lot coverage of the
applicable zone. The parking requirements are 1 space for every
2 patients.

To Arroyo Grande City Council
From Travis and Katherine Evans
270 Larchmont Drive, A. G. 93420
Dear Council Members:
We believe the wishes of the residents of our neighborhood are
being ignored, or worse yet, the neighbors and the public are
being decieved by the actions of the City Planning Commission.
When we were first notified in Dec. 2001 of a proposed project
at 2002 Vernon it was labelled as a large day care facility.
The entire neighborhood objected to the proposal for several
valid reasons'. A public hearing was held, which was in realality
a sham, for the neighbors concern was barely considered since
there were only seven opposing letters recieved and there were
at least ten in favor. After some research, we find there are
only two letters in favor on file at City Hall. And those are
not from nearby residents. And now, at the eleventh hour, we
find that this is to be a mental health care facility, not just
a large day care facility as originally posted.
We cannot believe our City fathers would betray us by allowinga
business in a residential area, where other businesses have
been denied. And a business for mentally handicapped at that!
On the only street leading to a school only two hundred feet
distance! A school with children from kindergarten age to teen
. agers! What are we thinking of? Must we risk another Polly Klass
or Danielle Van Damme tragedy?
We are respectfully asking the Council to hear the voices of
the affected citizens, and deny the proposal at 202 Vernon.
And wouldn't it be nice to get the whole truth from the City
Planning group at the very beginning of a proposal.
Thank you for hearing our concerns.

Dear Arroyo Grande City Council Members,.
The proposal to bring an adult day care facility into close proximity to Valley View
Adventist Jr. Academy was looked at with strong disfavor by our school board last night,
February 28, 2002. We understand the need for adult care in our Arroyo Grande
community is important. However, the concerns that were shared by our Valley View
Adventist Academy School Board were:
1. Parent and faculty concern for the safety of Valley View Adventist
Academy students.
2. Concern for additional traffic congestion on an already busy avenue, with
.traffic to the Valley View Children's Center, Valley View Adveritist Jr.
Academy, and the Women's Center.
3. Recognition of our neighbors' concerns for an adult care facility for
mentally challenged with possible risks for neighborhood children as well
students of Valley View Children's Centerand Valley View Adventist
. Academy.
4. We urge the city council to follow city-zoning codes for commercial and
, residential property. Since this area is residential, the VV AA Board
believes the integrity of the zoning codes should be followed.
We do not believe this is a good location for this adult care center for the above stated
reasons.
Thank you for keeping our concerns in mind ,as you take action on this proposed adult
day care center.
Sincerely yours, ,

Re: Conditional Use Permit
Case #02-004 at 202 Vernon St.
Being new homeowners in your fair city of Arroyo Grande, we were somewhat surprised
when we moved in that the home at 202 Vernon St. has been approved for it to inhabit up
to 14 mentally impaired people. We cannot understand how such a small house with very
little parking can accommodate so many people. Personally we don't think this establish-
ment is right for what it has been approved.
Please reconsider your decision on this matter. The purchase of our house was based on
the neighborhood being family oriented.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.

Re: Large Day Care No. 02-(J()4 permit for operating of a social support group facility for
disabled adults at 202 Vernon, AG
It has come to our attention that an application to locate the above in a Rl zoned area of
Arroyo Grande is once again an issue. Why this is even a consideration is beyond us. When
you buy a home in an Rl zoning you should have the confidence that the city in which you live
will comply with that zoning. This should not even be an issue. The above is a business! It
is not a Single Family Residence. Why do we have zoning???
The Vernon St. area of AG has a constant flow of traffic with no sidewalks. Unless the
people participating were completely confined to that residence in a fenced environment as
is a Child Day Care Center it could be very dangerous.
I (Judy) /ileand work in the Village of AG and have seen persons from the group walking
alone in the Village on a daily bosis when they were located on Mason Street. They were
certainly unsupervised as they were alone and more than a block from the residence. This
practice would seem to be extremely dangerous at the Vernon St. locotion. Given that this
is also a very hilly area. It is not right that any neighbor should be responsible for one of
the Disabled Adults falling on their property with the patential of being seriously hurt.
We realize that it has been stated many times that these residence do not wonder
unsupervised. That is just not the case!! This issue and the fact that it is a single-family
residential area should be in itself enough to deny the permit.
We are strongly opposed to the location of a large Day Care/Disabled Adults Facility in any
single-family/RI zoned neighborhood in Arroyo Grande.

Attencion: Mr. Tom Rune1s and All City Council Members
Dear Mayor Mike Lady, Rob Strong and all Council Members:
We are opposed to Transicions Mental Health Associacion's use of 202 Vernon Street .because of safety
concerns of the location.
There are no sidewalks on West Branch Street from 202 Vernon St. to Bank of America if on occasion the
clients should want to walk to the Village of Anoyo Grande. The area was not designed for pedestrian traffic.
The streets are to narrow for cat's and Pedestrians. If the residents park their cars in front of their homes,
there is not room for two cars to pass and a pedestrian.
There are stop sing> on West Branch and Vernon but no crosswalk, there is a stop sign on West Branch and
Grand Ave. but no Cross Walk.
On Larchmont Dr. the street is narrow, if cars are parked in front of the homes on both sides of the street
there isn't room for two cars to pass in opposite direccions. This happens during the Strawberry Fescival and
Harvest Festival or when the neighbors have company and they park on the street and there are no sidewalks
except behind the Bank of America. .
The traffic has tripled sense the K-mart and Wall-Mart shopping centers have opened adding to the dangers
to pedestrian traffic. Traffic would also increase for people dropping off or picking up.
WHAT IF A pacient gets away from an attendant and bothers a neighbor, what will happen?
This change will also de-value the property of the neighborhood.
The area is zoned R-l for a reason and it should stay that way.
We own a business that we could fit into our garage nicely. With the zoning change, we can now plan to
move to our garage, sense traffic and safety DOES NOT seem to be a concern. On the other hand, I may
start a day care center in my home. Does this mean any neighbor can do this?
There are other neighborhoods in Anoya Grande that are more suitable for this type of business.
Sincerely,
~~vYU-

RE: APPEAL FO CUP NO. 02-004
Dear Mayor Mike Lady, Bob strong and All Council Members:
I am opposed to Gransi tions ~1ental Heal th Association' s use
of 202 Vernon.
My reasons are: It is too close to the Women's Club and
Seventh Day Adventist Church and School. There are no side
walks or curbs so cars park anyway with little or no room
to walk on the street, or enough room for a two way traffic.
Traffic which normally go down Branch Street to Grand now
turn on Vernon to Larchmont to Welsley to the Signal. They
whiz up and down the street with little regard whether you
are out of your driveway or not. No matter 'how much security
and care is given to the people who will live in the home,
I have heard too many incidents where they are found wandering
the streets. Therefore, I don't think this area is wise.
I hope you will reconsider okaying this project.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor and all Council Members'
I am building a house at 283 Larchmont and sold the house at 202 Vernon to the Crests.
I would not have sold the house to the Crests if I had known there intent to make it a
Transition house. I am building my dream home where I will be raising my (amily. I don't
feel conferrable with mental patients next store. I bought the house and lot because it was
a safe neighborhood. I would not feel that way with adult mental patients staying in the
neighborhood.
I am strongly opposed to the Transitions Mental Health Association's use of202 Vermon.

Dear Mayor Mike Lady, Rob Strong and all Council Members,
-
I am a parent of a student at Valley View Adventist Academy. I am also a resident of
Arroyo Grande. As a parent I have chosen Valley View Adventist Academy because of
the outstanding quality of education, the high standards and Christian values and because
I believe it is a very safe environment in an excellent location.
I am opposed to Transitions Mental Health Association's use of 202 Vernon St. because
of the safety issues it could pose for my child. As a nurse who has worked in mental
health units, I understand the potential for instability with some mental health patients.
I understand and support the need for a home for these individuals but do not support
locating one so close to an elementary school.
Please consider our concerns and support us in providing a safe, healthy environment for
our kids. I would appreciate a return call. (I will be out of town until 4/2)
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Mike Lady, Rob Strong and all Council Members,
I am a member of the Board for Valley View Adventist Academy and a parent of a child
who goes to this school. It is an important part of my responsibilities to not only look
after the well fare of my child but of all children who attend that school.
I am opposed to Transitions Mental Health Association's use of 202 Vernon Street
because of the safety factor it could pose to our students. I certainly understand the
need for a home where our mentally challenged neighbors can receive care, but am
concerned about this specific location being close to a school with all the related
activities.
Thank you for hearing my concerns regarding this issue.

We are opposed to Transitions Mental Health Association's use of202 Vernon Street.
Having children staying at our residence from time to time gives us reason for concern.
As much as we empathize with these special needs individuals, we just don't feel that it
would be safe for our neighborhood. They seem to be temperamental and one never
knows when they will explode. Every day there are articles in the newspaper about
people like this and some ofthe harm they have done.
Ironically, we recently attended Mass at a local church in Arroyo Grande. During the
Homily, a Down Syndrome Man walked up and clobbered the priest on the face.
We recently purchased our home in this area. Had the realtor told us about this project,
we never would .have purchased this house. Also, please be aware that many motorists
are using Larchmont Drive as a short cut. Some of them drive very fast and someone
needs to do something about this situation.

RE: CUP No. 02-004
Dear Mayor Lady and Council Members:
I am writing this letter to express my opposition to.the Conditional Use
Permit that was granted to the residence located at 202 Vernon Street in Arroyo
Grande, California.
My husband and I bought the property located at 256 Larchmont a number
of years ago. We intend this property to become our future retirement residence,
and therefore would like to see the neighborhood remain a stable one, for
residential purposes only.
We are concerned because now a precedent has been set, a precedent
that we do not want to be continued in our neighborhood. Please put a stop to
this practice now.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Mike Lady, City Manager, Steven Adams, all Council Members, Rob
Strong, Director of Community Development:
I am opposed to Transitions Mental Health Association's use of202 Vernon Street. I do
not live in the immediate area of the proposed dwelling, but my children are often in the
very near vicinity of the proposed house. Having mental health patients near my small
children or anyone else's is very unsettling. I would hate to have something hapPen to
either one of my children.
Furthermore, having a group like this in an established residential neighborhood is sure to
lower the property values. When people purchase their homes in a residential zoned
neighborhood they expect it to stay as such. Should an institution such as the one
proposed come into the neighborhood the current homeowners would have to disclose
this to any prospective buyer. In my opinion this would discourage any potential buyers
and lower property values.
I live in a residential area of Arroyo Grande and I would not be in favor of an Association
such as this coming into my neighborhood.
I have been a full time real estate agent since 1987 in the Five Cities area. It is my
professional opinion that an establishment, such as the one proposed should, be in an area
where the usage is compatible to the zoning.

City Council Members
I am opposed to the Transitions Mental Health Association
locating at 202 Vernon street. I am concerned about the safety
of the school children at the Adventist Schools and our
neighborhood.
I have had many years of first hand experience with mentally
ill people, as my ex-wife has paranoid schizophrenia. I lived
with her for 12 years and has 2 sons. The last 4 years of
my life with her was a nightmare. With her medication she was
better, but there are times that she still would have bizarre
uncontrollable behavior.
I have experienced so many instances of this, too many
to mention in this letter.
I had to raise my two sons alone.
Respectfully,
~ IV ~

Re: CUP 02-004
Dear City Council Members:
This letter is in regards to the group called Transitions, they want to move into
ANOTHER single family neighborhood with R-I zoning. They recently tried and failed
to get a pennit for a house on Garden Street. This group is using the words day care to
get their pennit. We can tell you that these are NOT children they are adults. Are they
trying to get in with false information? They previously were at the corner of Nelson and
Mason. We live 2 blocks ITom that location. Since they were our neighbors for many
years we can assure each of you their facility was not an asset to the neighborhood. -
There were many cars ITom staff members who came and went during the day. County
cars seemed to be there often, including vans. This group of people did a lot of walking
during the day.
Transitions applied for and was granted by your city staff a pennit for a day care facility
in a single family home, zoned R-I at Larchmont and Vernon streets. Which is now being
appealed. Since the development of the Wal-Mart shopping center the traffic on these
streets has increased by hundreds of cars who now use these streets to avoid the stop sign
at West Branch and Grand Ave. at the Shell Station. There are NO sidewalks along these
streets. When we have traveled Larchmont and there are cars parked on both sides ofthe
street only one car can pass at a time. Frankly we are surprised that Transitions would
even consider this location due to the safety issues. The amount of vehicle traffic on these
streets makes it too dangerous for walking. I bet the City of Arroyo Grande will be the
first mentioned in a lawsuit when one of their people gets hit by a car. It won't be if but
when someone gets hit. This group is taking care of mentally challenged people who
may make a misstep since there are no sidewalks for their safety.
If our city council doesn't vote against this, you will be starting a president that will ruin
our single family neighborhoods. Zoning is in place so that it is clear what kind of
property we are buying. When we choose an R-I property we assume that our city is
going to follow the rules. With an R-I we should be able to assume that we will have
neighbors who are family orientated. Not a facility with a large group of adults who need
to be taken care of. I am sure there are other pieces of property in our city or surrounding
cities that are zoned for their needs.
Thank you,

Re: CUP Case# 02-004
Greetings,
I have just recently been made aware of the proposal to locate an adult day care facility
on Vernon St. in the single family residential zone and I wish to state my strong opposition to
this plan, There are many reasons not to locate such a facility in a single family neighborhood
but I cannot think of one good reason in favor of such a plan.
The staff report for this proposal seems to make a comparison between the proposed use
and a child day care facility. This is quite a stretch because the typical child care facility is li-
censed for 6 children as opposed to the proposed facility which would house 14 adults. Children
in a day care facility are confined to the home and yard however from personal experience I
know this is not the case with adult care facilities. Several years ago I operated a business
which was located in an industrial zone next door to such a facility and the patients were con-
tinually leaving the home and wandering into neighboring businesses.
Consider the impact on the neighbors of the extra traffic from transporting patients to and
from the facility and from friends and relatives visiting the patients, not to mention emergency
vehicle trips to the facility,
The major impact is of course the lowering of values and marketability of the neighboring
residential properties. Just for a moment, put yourself in the shoes of a prospective home
buyer; if you were considering purchasing two similar homes and one was in a conforming sin-
gle family residential neighborhood and the other was situated next to a facility such as the one
proposed here, which would you choose?
There is a need for such facilities in our community but there is also a place for them and
surely it is not in a sinale family residential neighborhood. The PC zone or another commercial
zone would be much more suitable for this facility.
Pjease consider the detrimental impact to the neighbors if this use is approved.

RE: APPEAL OF CUP No. 02-004
Dear Mr. Strong, -
We are opposed to Transitions Mental Health Association's use of202 Vernon Street because
this type of use does not belong in a R-I neighborhood. There is a need for the service this
organization provides, however the location for this use should be an office or industrial type of
setting.
R-1 zoning is the backbone of Arroyo Grande's quality oflife and we count on the city council
to protect us nom incompatible uses. Would you like this type of commercial use across the
street nom your home? R-1 zoning should be sacred and we trust you will do the right thing and
protect us by saying no to this incompetence use. There are alternatives that would allow this
business to operate in Arroyo Grande in other appropriate zoning.
Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter and we hope that you will see the
wisdom in protecting R-1 zoning for the citizens of Arroyo Grande.

Re: Appeal of CUP02-004 -
Dear Sirs:
I am asking you to overturn the planning commission's decision regarding CUP02-004.
This is a single-family residence located at 202 Vernon here in the village. The planning commission
has many duties including amending the city plan; however, to ignore all previous decisions and
capriciously set new precedent should not be one ofthem.
Day-care centers are a needed and necessary part of our society. My children, (when they were
young), and now my grandchildren need these services, and some of these "Daycare" providers do
work out of their R-l zoned homes. The difference in this case is that the petitioners are asking for
"Large Daycare" designation, which will allow them to have an unlimited number of unrelated
individuals populating an R-l zoned'residence. .
Throughout the state all "Large Daycare" have always been located in commercial zones only.
There is plenty of commercial property readily available in Arroyo Grande. Let them operate there
like all of the other "Large Daycare" providers in the state.
Let's not set a new precedent here.
Sincerely,
~~l,_
Bill Ringbom

RE: APPEAL OF CUP No. 02-004
Dear Mayor Mike Lady, Rob Strong and all Council Members,
1 am writing this letter to you as a concerned parent of two elementary aged children who attend
Valley View Adventist Academy.
---..
I am opposed to the use of the residential house on 202 Vernon St. for a Mental Health Facility. I
personally have talked to Barry Johnson a couple oftimes and from my questions this is the
information I obtained from him. The diagnoses of the patients enrolled in their program range
from Manic-Depressive to Schizophrenia. According to Barry, "95% (if not all) of the patients
are on medication for mental health treatment." If their medication is not monitored correctly
some of their patients could have an increased potential to have delusions or hallucinations.
These patients come voluntarily to their program, and in the same respect they can not be held
against their will if they desire to leave. With this information, the thought of placing a Mental
Health Facility like this near an elementary and preschool brings to mind a huge red flag. It is
hard for me to believe that this would even be considered.
I have worked as a Registered Nurse for 10 years prior to having my children. The reason for
mentioning this is because like Barry and his group I also have compassion for people who are
ill. I want you to know I am very supportive of the work he is doing, and it is a wonderful service
he is providing; however, this service obviously could be provided in a different location and not
in such close proximity to an elementary and pre-school.
The house at 202 Vernon St is not the only place that will work for this facility. If the patients
come from the Five Cities area then why not look at all Five Cities as potential sites. Something
eventually would come up that would meet all of the requirements for their facility; It might be
inconvenient for them to wait a little while longer, but in the long run that seems a better option
than taking the risk of placing a Mental Health Facility so close to an elementary school setting.
Thank-you for listening to my concerns. I hope you will consider some of them as you make
your decision on this appeal.
Sincerely, ~W/orz 8~ C; Cl~ ~c.&-.

Dear City Council Members,
I've been with Transitions "Safe Haven" program for 3 years. It's a
safe place for people with mental illness to come and socialize among
friends with similar struggles. We learn independent living skills,
such as cooking, baking, gardening and maintaining a home. We
have social support in a non-judgmental, safe environment. The
staff is great; we have hope here and a family. -
I was very shocked when we appeared in front of the City Planning
Commission and heard how the neighbors that appealed our
Conditional Use Permit assumed we were criminals and sexual
predators! This could not be further from the truth and was
offensive to everyone affiliated with the Transitions program. I've
never met more wonderful people than those at Safe Haven. They
are so sweet and gentle. I've worked all my life up to my breakdown
several years ago, and have been on both sides of the fence. This
group of people is so precious and gentle--much better than most
people I've met in the work force. I think it's regrettable that this
level of stigma and ignorance still exists in today's "enlightened"
society. It saddens us that you fear us. We are no different than
you, other than our particular challenges. I wish you knew us ail--
then you would understand.

Ms WETMORE:
WE ARE QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THE REFERENCED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR 202
VERNON ST. WHICH WOULD ALLOW IT TO. BE USED AS A SAFE HAVEN SOCIAL REHABILITA-
TION FACILITY FOR ADULT DAY CARE.
IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS NOT LEGAL TO HAVE ADULT DAY CARE IN A RESI-
DENT! AL ZONE, (R-l) . ---
THE LOCATION FOR THE FACILITY IS VERY CLOSE (@ ONE BLOCK) TO VALLEY VIEW
ADVENTIST ACADEMY. THERE ARE 80 STUDENTS, PRE-SCHOOL THROUGH 10TH GRADES,
ENROLLED THERE.
WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE CLIENTS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE
PREMISES, THAT THEY WOULD REMAIN THERE FOR COUNCELING AND SOCIAL INTER-
ACTION. (NOTE: THERE WILL BE TWO COUNCELORS FOR NINE CLIENTS FOUR DAYS
PER WEEK AND THREE COUNCELORS ON WEDNESDAYS FOR FOURTEEN CLIENTS.) IF A
CLIENT HAS TO BE TAKEN HOME BECAUSE HE/SHE FAILED TO TAKE MEDICATION. THIS
REDUCES THE STAFF BY ONE PERSON. THIS HOUSE ONLY HAS ONE BATHROOM, IS ^60UT
3 - 4 FEET FROM THE REAR PROPERTY LINE AND HAS ALMOST NO YARD.
THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS IN THIS AREA. fF ANY OF THE CLIENTS ARE ALLOVIED TO
LEAVE THE PROPERTY THEY WOULD HAVE TO WALK AROUND PARKED CARS, DODGING HEAVY
TRAFFIC ON EITHER VERNON, BRAN~OR LARCHMONT STREETS.
WE UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR A FACILITY OF THIS TYPE BUT NOT IN A SINGLE FAMIk~
RESIDENTIAL ZONE! IN OTHER CA CITIES THESE FACILITIES ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN
COMMERCIAL OR COMMERCIAL/OFFICE ZONES. THIS IS WHERE TRANSITONS MENTAL HEALTH
HAS BEEN PREVIQlSL:,Y III ARROYO GRANDE AND WE FEEL THAT IS THE ZONE \vHICH WOULD
BE BEST FOR EVERYONE CONCERNED. .
WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR HOME WE CHOSE THIS R-l LOCATION WITH THE UNDERSTANDING
NO BUSINESSES WOULD BE ALLOWED.

and Teresa McClish, Associate Planner
At the public hearing before the Planning Commission on
Feb. 19, 2002, Mr. Barry Johnson, Applicant for Transitions
Mental Health Association stated that the two previous locations
were both located in a Commercial/Office zone. Commissioner
Costello asked Mr. Johnson if he would be buying or leasing
202 Vernon Street. Mr. Johnson stated that they would b~
leasing the house.
At the Neighborhood Meeting set by Mr. Johnson on
March 14, 2002 he told us that his Association plans to
buy the house at 202 Vernon Street.
Below is a list of some of the properties available on
March 24, 2002 located in Commercial/Ofice Zones.

Dear Sir; /---!/ __~ ~
We are Travis and Katherine Evans and we reside at 270 Larchmont
Drive, just across the street, north of the proposed project.
We are 79 and 75 years old respectfully, and recognize the need
for such faciliies. However we are strongly opposed to a day
care center at this location .for the following reasons.
First, everything e~st of the Community Building, (Women's Club)
is residential. We believe it should remain that way.
Second, because of the Womens Club, the Valley View School,
and Adventist Church at the top of Vernon Ave., the streets
are already heavily travelled. Many times the Community parking
lot and both streets are parked full on both sides of the
intersection. At times we offer free parking in our yard.
Thirdly,. We believe elderly ahd handicapped people should have
easy acess in and out of buildings, bathrooms, parking lots,
etc. There is no way this hillside property could offer that.
If this area is to be kept residential, as it presently is,
we simply cannot allow the doors to be opened for commercial
enterprise. I believe the majority of the area residents will
agree.
Therefore, we' respectfully request that the Large Day Care
permit 01-001 be denied.

MEMORANDUM .
TO: ROB STRONG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
FROM: TERESA MCCLISH, ASSOCIATE PLANNER

DATE: DECEMBER 18,2001
RE: LARGE DAYCARE PERMIT FOR ADULT DAY CARE - VERNON ST.
We noticed residences in the neighborhood of a proposed adult day care at 202
Vernon St. (The last requested application was withdrawn due to pressure on the
proposed landlord from neighbors.) We received several letters (not as many as
before) opposing the use.
We have been processing this as a Large Day Care facility (allowable in residential
districts) because our code doesn't have a specific permit requirement for adult day
care. However, I just found a League of CA cities summary from last summer with
many cities indicating they require CUP's.
~s..:. ~v-..~. \/""s~...::,: 0;.. c..L~
For the subject site, parking is an issu~although they use a van to transport clients
and staff. According to our parking requirements (for daycares/schools) we would
require 5 off street spaces, they propose one. Otherwise, for a residential area, the
site is well located, being adjacent to a school, and across from the Community
Center.
J'm not sure if we should kick this application up to a CUP. I'll call in Wed. to
discuss.

Re: Application for Large Day CarelTransitions a.:i'- ~ 'd I ~ #,
Dear Mr. Strong,
Thank you for the above referenced notification and the opportunity to provide you with
our comments. We as residents in the Village are mainly concerned with the safety ..-..
hazards such a facility would present in our neighborhood. The Village atmosphere is
one that promotes family lifestyles with residents who enjoy walking, jogging and bike
riding throughout our safe streets, Not only would the available parking on the streets
be affected, but the traffic would increase. The property at 207 Garden St. is located at
a curve that joins Garden SI. and Ide St. with existing visibility and speeding concerns.
The increased parking would heighten this hazard,
As property owners we are' not only concemed with the safety of our family and
, .
neighbors but with the effect such a facility might impose on our property value and
resale opportunities. The Village of Arroyo Grande is in itself a unique location, offering
the pleasures of a hometown, close knit community. That is the reason so many of us
have chosen it as our home and would be disheartened to see a business of any kind
placed within its' core.
We strongly believe that approval of this permit would introduce an element that is not
conducive to the family environment that this area is designed for and has maintained
for many years. This, or any other business such as this, would be inappropriate for
this area and we would suggest that the city investigate alternative locations for such a
facility. This is a business and it is our belief that there are more appropriate locations
in our community in which this business could be placed that would be more suitable
and would cost the taxpayers less money.
Sincerely,

Conditional Use Permit Case Number 02.004 ~.~~ ~~~.'
202 Vernon Street

Page 2
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Adult
Day Care to provide social rehabilitation services to disabled, mentally ill adults in a
residential neighborhood. For a detailed description of the "Safe Haven" program,
please refer to the applicant's letter in Attachment 1.
~~~~:~...
Staff Advisorv Committee
The SAC reviewed the project on January 22, 2002 and discussed issues of parking,
undergrounding of utilities, curb gutter and sidewalk and how the California Health
and Safety Code pertains to the application (reference Attachment 2 for meeting
notes). The applicant is requesting an exception to the City's undergrounding and
curb, gutter and sidewalk requirements (reference Attachment 1 pg. 2 of the
applicant's letter).
. . DISCUSSION:
Development Code
The application is for an Adult Day Care, which is similar in use to a Large Family Day
Care facility, an allowable use in residential qistricts. Large Family Day Care facilities
are allowed subject to a minor use permit. Initially, staff processed Transition's
application' with a minor use permit and noticed neighbors of the project site
accordingly. After receiving many letters in opposition to the project, and after
reviewing a survey of other cities in California and finding that the majority address
Adult Day Care facilities through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process, a CUP
was required for the subject application.
The applicant proposes to serve nine clients on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Fridays and. has amended his application to have a Maximum of 14. clients on
Wednesdays from 4-8 pm. Transitions has operated in Arroyo Grande for over 1 5
years on LePoint Street and subsequently on Mason Street. The applicant has
submitted photos of the Mason Street building to show that the residence was
maintained in good condition while occupied by Transitions (Attachment 3).

special impact or uniqueness such that their effect on the surrounding environment
cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a particular

Authoritv

EXHIBIT "A"
GROUNDS FOR APPEAL
1. Staff initially informed the public that applicant was
"Transitions", and the project was a "Large Day Care 0 1-00 1 to allow for the
operation of a f'ocial support groups facility for disabled adults", and
processed the application as a minor use permit. (See Exhibit A-I attached
--.-..
hereto.) 'Due to strong opposition from the neighbors. this process was
aborted.
2. The applicant is actually "Transitions Mental Health
Association", and the project now applied for is a "Conditional Use Permit
to allow an Adult. Day Care "to. provide social rehabilitation services to
disabled, mentally ill adults in a residential neighborhood." (See Staff
Report to Planning Commission dated February 19, 2002.)
3. Prior to the processing of the applicant's current application.
staff surveyed other cities in California and found that they all address Adult
. Day Care facilities through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process.
However, none of the cities surveyed allow such use in a Single Family
Residential (SF) zone. (See Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, which evidences
that the City of Cerritos only allows such use in a Light Industrial Zone; the
City of Gardena only allows such use in Multiple Dwelling, Public ~nd
Semipublic Facilities, and Local Servicing Commercial Districts; and the City
of Garden Grove only allows such use in Commercial Zones (CI, C2, and
C3).)
4. Health and Safety Code Section 1597.40 has absolutely no
application to the subject project. That section only applies to 1amily day
I
3/
care homes for children." Such facilities "should be situated in normal
residential surroundings so as to give children the home environment which
is conducive to healthy and safe development." (See Exhibit A-3 attached
hereto.) .
5. Section 16.52.120 of the Arroyo Grande Development Code
likewise has absolutely no application to the subject project. That section is
merely the local ordinance which implements the State law dealing With day
care homes for children. Accordingly. the development standards contained
therein are inapposite to the proposed project which contemplates a facility
for disabled adults.
6. The proposed project is in the Single Family Residential zone.
Table 9-06.040-A of the Arroyo Grande Development Code prohibits use
comparable to the proposed project in that Boarding/Rooming Houses (A.9.).
Senior Independent Living Uses (A. 1 0.), Congregate Care.. Assisted Living
. . .
(A.l!.), and Convalescent Care (A:12.) uses are not permitted in uses in the
Single Family Residential zone.
. 7. Consistent therewith it is appellants' understanding that the two
previous locations of Transitions Mental Health Association within the City of
Arroyo Grande were not in a Single Family Residential zone. but were both
in a Commercial Office zone.
8. The proposed project should be located within the Commercial
Office zone as a permitted use in either General Commercial, Village
Commercial or Office Professional, as a medical and related heath services
for humans as authorized in section A.6. of Table 9-07.030-A of the Arroyo
Grande Development Code.
9. It is the appellants' further understanding that the City of Arroyo
2
d~
Grande Planning Commission and Staff have plans to conduct a workshop to
discuss the need to amend the zoning ordinance to accommodate locations
for such businesses as the applicant. Transitions Mental Health Association.

Dear Arroyo Grande City Council Members,
The propo~l to bring an adult daycate facility into close proximity to Valley View
Adventist Jr. Academy was looked atV(ith strong disfavor by our school board last night,
February 28, 2002. We understand the need for adult care in our Arroyo Grande
community is important. However, the concerns that were shared by our Valley View
Adventist Academy ~chool Board were: .
1. Parent and faculty con~ein for the safety of Valley View Adventist
Academy students.
2. Concern for additiorial traffic congestion on an already busy avenue, with
traffic to the Valley View Children's Center, Valley View Adventist Jr.
Academy, and the Women's Center.
3. Recognition of our neighbors' concerns for an adult care facility for
mentally challenged with possible risks for neighborhood children as well
'students of Valley View Chil9ren's Center and Valley View Adventist
Academy.
4. We urge the city council to folJow city-zoning codes for commercial and
residential property. Since this area is residential, the VV AA Board
believes the integrity of the zoning codes should be followed.
We do not believe this is a good location for this adult care center for the above stated
reasons.
Thank you for keeping our concerns in mind as you take action on this proposed adult
.. day care center.
Sincerely yours,
i~1ci/!+

Re: l..arge Doy Care No. 02-004 permit for operating of a social support group foc:ility for
disabled adults at 202 Vernon, AG
It has come to o~ attention that an application to locate the above in a R1 zoned area of
Arrayo Grande is once again an issue. Why this is even a consideration is beyond us. When
you buy a home in an R1 zoning you should have the confidence that the city in which you live
will comply with that zoning. This should not even be an issue.. The above is a business! It
is not a Single Family Residence. Why do we have zoning???
The Vernon St. area of AG has a constant flow of traffic with no sidewalks. Unless the
people participating were completely confined to that residence.in a fenced environment as
is a Child Doy Care Center it could be very dangerous.
I (Judy) live011d work in the Village of AG and have seen persons from the groLp walking
alone in the Village on a doily bosis when they were located on Mason Street. They were
certoinly unsupervised as they were alone and more than 0 block from the residence. This
practice would seem to be extremely dangerous at the Vernon St. location. GiYen that this
is also a very hilly area. It is not right that arry neighbor should be responsible for one of
the Disabled Adults falling on their property with the potential of being seriously hurt.
We realize that it has been stated many times that these residence do not wonder
unsupervised. That is just not the coseJ! This issue and the fact that it is a single-family
residential area should be in itself enough to deny the permit.
We are strongly opposed to the location of a Large Doy Care/Disabled Adults Facility in any
single-falnily/R1 zoned neighborhood in Arroyo Grande.

Joe and Judy Callahan

Re: CUP Case# 02-004
Greetings,
I have just recently been made aware of the proposal to locate an adult day care facility
on Vernon St. in the single family residential zone and I wish to state my strong opposition to
this plan. There are many reasons not to locate such a facility in a single family neighborhood
but I cannot think of one good reason in favor of such a plan.
The staff report for this proposal seems to make a comparison between the proposed use
and a child day care facility. This is quite a stretch because the typical, child care facility is Ii~.
censed for 6 children as opposed to the proposed facility which would house 14 adults. Children
in a day care facility are confined to the home and yard however from personal experience I
know this is not the case with adult care facilities. Several years ago I operated a business
which was located in an industrial zone next door to such a facility and the patients were con-
tinually leaving the home and wandering into neighboring businesses.
Consider the impact on the neighbors of the extra traffic from transporting patients to and
from the facility and from friends and relatives visiting the patients, not to mention emergency
vehicle trips to the facility.
The major impact is of course the lowering of values and marketability of the neighboring
residential properties_Just for a moment, put yourself in the shoes' of a prospective home
buyer; if you were considering purchasing two similar homes and one was in a conforming sin-
gle family residential neighborhood and the other was situated next to a facility such ~s the one
proposed here, which would you choose?
There is a need for such facilities in our community but there is also a place for them and
surely it is not in a sinQle familv residential neighborhood. The PC zone or another commercial
zone would be much more suitable for this facility.
PI~ase consider the detrimental impact to the neighbors if this use is approved.

share.J 1.:ommunny Dear Council Members,
The purpose of this letter and the attached packet is to provide additional information
regarding Transitions - Mental Health Association (TMHA) and our request for a
Conditional Use Permit to provide social rehabilitation services to disabled, mentally ill
adults at 202 Vernon St. in the City of Arroyo Grande. The "Safe Haven" program has
been operating in the City of Arroyo Grande since 1980, providing therapeutic and social
support for mentally ill community members of southern San Luis Obispo County - the --
largest percentage (40%) of program participants live in Arroyo Grande; the other
participants come fi-om Grover Beach, Nipomo, Oceano, and Pismo Beach. The program
was originally located on 166 LePointe St. in the Village, and remained there for 15 years
before moving to a larger site at 143 Mason St. In October of2001, the program was
given notice to leave Mason St. due to a pending sale of the property. Since the first of
November, our program has been temporarily located in two different one-room office
sites without kitchen facilities, office space for staff, or additional group rooms for
clients.
The program has operated as a good neighbor throughout its time in Arroyo Grande,
developing positive relations with neighbors and actively participating in the community
through social and recreational interaction, and by volunteering at local service agencies
such as the Arroyo Grande Historical Society, Animal Rescue Coalition, Land
Conservancy and the People's Kitchen. Clients who participate in the program learn
social skills, provide peer support, create healthy relationships, develop work skills, and
learn how to better manage their disability through educational workshops on medication,
stress reduction, symptom management, and wellness and recovery. Through
participation in the program, we have seen many clients develop meaningful roles in the
community by attending college, volunteer at local service agencies, and move onto
steady employment. The people who attend the "Safe Haven" program come fi-om all
walks oflife. They are not violent criminals or sex offenders; they are the children,
spouses, parents, grandparents and friends of many local residents. Our other
Socialization Centers in Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Maria operate out of
homes within the community, allowing a natural, non-institutional environment for
clients to develop the skills needed to live healthy, happy lives. The property at 202
Vernon Street provides just that: a kitchen, a large yard, sufficient space to operate
groups and provide offices for staff, and a "homey" environment that is conducive
towards rehabilitation, growth, and community integration.

We understand that there are neighbors of the Vernon Street site that have expressed
concerns regarding the program we provide and the clientele we serve. In response to
this, on March fh, 2002, we notified the Vernon Street neighbors that we would be
available to meet in order to discuss any concerns and clarify some possible
misconceptions. We met with five neighbors on March 14th for over two hours. During
that time we developed a dialogue with these neighbors, allowing us to respond to
concerns directly, honestly and in depth. We answered questions about the program and
our clients, we shared that we had looked without success for a house in a commercial
zone, and we discussed the concern about traffic problems on the street and what our
program would need to do to address that issue. At the end of the meeting, most of the
neighbors seemed to feel more relieved due to the infonnation they had received; two
neighbors expressly stated that they supported our program moving into the
neighborhood. We have attempted to set up a similar meeting with the parents of the
Valley View Academy but have not heard back ITom the principal regarding that
meeting's status; the school has been provided a packet of information regarding our '-.
agency and programs, as well as wlth phone numbers to discuss any concerns.
Throughout this process we have done our utmost to remain accessible to the community.
Besides the five neighbors who attended the meeting, only one person, a concerned
parent ITom Valley View, has attempted to contact us. We would like to share with those
that have concerns the following:
* Our agency has operated this program in Arroyo Grande for over 20 years
without any incidents involving law enforcement or neighbor problems. We
were located in the mIddle of family neighborhoods at 166 Le Point St. for over fourteen
years and at 143 Mason St. for six years.
* The neighbors at Mason St., particularly Shelly and Mike Cochran stood up
at the Planning Commission meeting and talked about their initial
apprehension about our moving into the neighborhood and their developed
belief that we are an "excellent" neighbor and have improved the
neighborhood in many ways, such as planting flowers in the park across ITom
the house and a lovely garden at the house.
* Our program operates ITom 10:00-2:00 Monday through Friday and ITom
4:00-8:00 pm on Wednesday. There is no one at the house on weekends and
most evenings, and never anyone there after 9:00 pm.
* The clients we serve are referred to us by San Luis Obispo County Mental
Health Services and all live in Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach or
Nipomo. Nearly half of our clients live in Arroyo Grande. Most of them
live with families or independently in their own homes. Again, nearly all
ofthem graduated ITom local schools and have long-standing connections in
the community.
* Clients served are receiving treatment for their mental illness; the program requestiqg
the permit is part, of rehabilitation and recovery ITom mental illness. Our staff maintains
close professional relationships with the clients and work very hafd to ensure that they
are staying connected to their family, their therapist and, when appropriate, their
medications. The participants of this program are quite stable and rely on our progranl to
-----~---
maintain a support system that is a critical component to maintaining their overall health
and well being.
This program is a good community asset that everyone involved with is ,proud to be a part
of and that truly enhances any neighborhood it resides within. Our fonner neighbors will
attest to that.
Please cOntact us if you have any questions about our program anq our
request for a pennie We can be reached at 541-5144. Thank
you for your time and consideration.

Dear Barry and Jill,
Per your request, I am writing this letter as landlord for the rental at 143 Mason Arroyo
Grande. This property was recently sold "as is" to a Doctor for his office and he is -
completely renovating the site and structure.
Your organization was very prompt on rental payments over the years.
I do not recall the length of your tenancy and I do not remember any complaints from the
city or neighbors.
Please do not hesitate to call for a personal reference.

Dear City Council Members,
.
I would like to take a minute to address a very
serious and important matter, which effects a lot of
us. Its called Safe Haven (a local socialization
program), which helps people with mental illness, it
has been such an important part of all of our lives.
We do things that help us back to the mainstream of
society. We do a lot of different things to help
ourselves as well as the society. We do volunteer
community work and help support each other. In my
opinion the program has ch~nged all of us in a
. positive way. I urge you to keep an open mind
because I feel the program really does work. We are
all really good people and all we ask is to be given the
chance to prove that we can be good neighbors.
Thank You so much for listening to what I had to say
S i NCbP..8 \'t :J.:o:.<2ION

Dear City Council Members,
Hi. . My name is Sam; I am a member of the Safe
Haven program. I have been attending since 1988. I
find it very rewarding and it has been helpful in many
areas of my life. It has helped me to manage my
anxiety and depression so that I am able to better
function in my daily life. We have not had a
permanent place to meet since Oct. Please help us-in
our effort to recover from this illness. This decision is
in your hands and hearts, so help us to help
ourselves.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TIMOTHY J. CARMEL, CITY ATTORNEv;e.-
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN ASSIGNMENT OF THE SOLID
WASTE AND GREEN WASTE, AND RESIDENTIAL
CURBSIDE AND COMMERCIAL RECYCLING
COLLECTION FRANCHISES TO WASTE CONNECTIONS,
INC.
DATE: APRIL 9, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council adopt a Resolution Consenting to the
Assignment of the Solid Waste and Green Waste, and the Residential Curbside
and Commercial Recycling Franchise Agreements to Waste Connections, Inc.
FUNDING:
All reasonable expenses related to the assignment process are the responsibility
of South County Sanitary Service, Inc. and have been billed accordingly.
Additionally, per Section 13.5D. of the Recycling Services Franchise Agreement,
if the City Council consents to the proposed assignment, the Franchisee must
immediately pay the City an assignment fee equal to the current annual payment
multiplied by four percent (4%) for each full year remaining on the Agreement;
that total amount is estimated to be approximately $36,000.
DISCUSSION:
Backaround
On January 16, 2002, the City received written notification from South County
Sanitary Service, Inc. (SCSSI) requesting that the City approve the assignment
of the Franchise Agreement for Collection, Diversion, and Disposal of Solid
Waste and the Recycling Services Franchise Agreement (collectively "Franchise
Agreements") to Waste Connections, Inc. (WCI). It should be noted that the
proposed assignment is in the form of a sale of stock and that SCSSI will
continue to provide the services specified in the Franchise Agreements.
According to information obtained by staff, WCI was founded in 1997 by a group
of industry professionals with over 50 years of industry experience through the
purchase of five operations in Washington and Idaho from Browning-Ferris
Industries. The company expanded into the California market with the addition of
Madera Disposal Systems in early 1998. As of December 31,2001, WCI serves

more than 700,000 commercial, industrial and residential customers in fifteen
states. WCI became a publicly owned company in May of 1998 and is traded on
the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol WCNX.
The City's Franchise Agreements stipulate that the City must first consent to a
proposed assignment and that the franchisee must pay for any reasonable
expenses to investigate any proposed assignee. Since the sale of stock in
SCSSI and its affiliated companies has regional implications, the San Luis
Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) agreed to assist
in the review process.
Because of the complexity of the investigation to evaluate WCI operational
experience and fiscal stability as stipulated in the Franchise Agreements, the
IWMA recommended hiring Hilary Theisen Consulting to assist in the
assessment. The City of San Luis Obispo acted as the lead agency for the
region (with IWMA assistance), and San Luis Garbage Company was
responsible for any cost incurred in hiring the consultant.
Franchise Assignment Criteria
The City's Franchise Agreements set minimum requirements that must be met in
order for the City to consider the assignment of the contracts. The requirements
and the consultant's (Hilary Theisen) scope of work in evaluating WCI ability to
satisfy the condition are as follows:
Financial Stabilitv. Review the audited financial statements of WCI
operations for the immediately preceding three operating years, and
provide an opinion regarding Waste Connections financial stability.
Manaaement EXDerience. Based on a review of WCI solid waste
management experience and the solid waste experience of the key
personnel, provide an opinion regarding WCI having 10 years of
experience on a scale equal to or exceeding the scale of operations
conducted by the existing franchise.
Sianificant citations or other censure. Provide an opinion regarding
WCI having suffered in the last five years any significant citations or other
censure for any federal, state or local agency having jurisdiction over its
waste management operation due to any significant failure to comply with

complete list of such citations and censures.
Operations. Provide an opinion regarding WCI's ability to conduct its
operations at all times in an environmentally safe and conscientious
fashion.
Solid waste manaaement practices. Provide an opinion regarding
WCI's ability to conduct its solid waste management practices in

with all federal, state and local laws regulating the collection and disposal
of solid waste, including hazardous waste.
Aareement. Provide an opinion regarding WCl's ability to fulfill the terms

The charge given to the consultant was to investigate these points and render a
professional opinion regarding WCI ability to perform in each area. Attachment 1
is the report issued from the consultant which contains the results of the
investigation. Overall, the consultant provided a favorable opinion of WCI ability
to satisfy the franchise assignment criteria.
The following is a summary of the consultant's opinions based on the information
reviewed in regards to the previously listed assignment criteria. This information
is also found in the Executive Summary of the report.
Opinion - Financial Stability
The Current Ratio, Long Term Debt/Equity Ratio, Return on Assets, Return
on Equity and the information published by Multex Investor
(www.multexinvestor.com) for the immediately preceding three operating
years indicated for WCI (and the average for the Waste Management
Services Industry as a whole) do not disclose any indication of financial
instability.
Assuming that WCI management effectiveness continues, there is no reason
to conclude that WCI is not now financially stable and would not continue to
be stable with the passage of time.

Opinion. Management Experience
WCI has the management experience necessary to perform the services
defined in the City franchise agreements. A management support structure is
in place that is suitable for providing the level of service established in the
Franchise Agreements.
Opinion - Significant Citations or Other Censure
The record of environmental citations and other censures does not indicate
any significant problems at WCI landfills and transfer stations. The absence
of any record of default events or assessment of liquidated damages under
collection franchise agreements indicates there are no significant citations or
censures in collection operations.
Opinion - Operations
Assuming that WCI continues to implement a corporate culture of conducting
operations in an environmentally sound and conscientious fashion, the
assignment will result in environmentally sound and conscientious operations.
The WCI Safety Manual is comprehensive in content and conforms to
industry standards for training and measuring performance of operations
staff.
Opinion - Solid Waste Management Practices
Assuming WCI continues a commitment to sound waste management
practices by allowing the managers of subsidiaries to continue practices used
in the community for many years before acquisition, the assignment will result
in sound practices. Also, many members of WCI senior management had the
opportunity to develop sound practices during years of previous employment
with other large waste management companies.
Opinion. Ability to Fulfill Terms of the Agreement
Based on the data and statements provided by WCI and the previous
opinions, WCI has the ability to fulfill the terms of the franchise agreements in
a timely, safe and effective manner.

4.0 FiD.Delal StabWty
Information and data regarding we financial stability is presented in Appendix B. A summary of
revenues and costs is presented in this section.
The parameters used to evaluate financial stability included historical trends, debt to equity ratio,
long term debt. status of assets, conditions ofleases, cash reserves, credit lines, sources of revenue,
experience with Affilliote<l companies, and experience with renewal of expired ftanchises. The
information for evaluation came ftom 10-K's and other financial documents provided by we.
4.1 Revenues
we revenues consist mainly of fees charged for service with over 50% of revenues for the year
ended coming ftom services provided in exclusive marlcets. As of~hP.r 31, 2000, revenues
ftom collection services accounted for about 71 % of total revenue fu1lowed by landfin services at
about 13% of total revenue, transfer and processing at about 9"10, recycling services at 6% and
"other" at less than 1 % of total revenues.
we reports that it bas reviewed the rate regulation methodology in effect for the Companies and
has satisfied itself that the methodology should resuh in recovery of its reasoilable costs of
providing required services and a reasonable profit margin.
WC reports that revenues ftom the Companies are expected to account for about 3~5% to 4% of
total WC revenue. WC aJso reports that it expects annual revenue growth fur the' Companies to be
in the range of2-4% per year and WC expects to reduce "COsts through use of improved technology
and efficiency in admin1..uative operations. The growth is a combination ofCPI adjustments and
new accounts.
4.2 Costs
Acquisitions have and will continue to be an important component of the growth strategy fullowed
by WC. WC has used various t1l1ll1ing mechanisms to oflSet acquisition costs in the past, resulting
in a stable financial condition in 2002.
WC has, since December 31, 2001 acquired an additional six landfills which has increased the
accrued amount fur closure and post closure costs. Cold Canyon L8ndfi11, Inc. is included in the
acquisition. Cold Canyon T .andfiJl, Inc. operates Cold Canyon r.anc:lfill which receives solid waste
collected by the Companies. WC advises that the amount of the closure and post closure trust fund
held by the State fur Cold Canyon l.andfill is about $7.1miUion. The California Integrated Waste
Management Board has advised Cold Canyon T -llnilfill.lnc. that, based upon review of documents
submitted by Cold Canyon Landfill, Inc., the "closure/postclosure maintenance fund is adequate at
this time and meets the requirements ofTit1e 27, California Code of Regulations Division 2,
Subdivision I, Chapter 6, SukJmpter 3, Article 1, section 22225." we has reported that it plans to
replace the funds in the Cold Canyon CIosure/Post Closure Maintenance Fund with a bond after
completion of the acquisition. This is an approved financing method by the California Integrated
Waste Manag~ Board.
4-1
-------- ---... ~--_._.._-_.... ------
Based upon audited finimciaJs for the ~ ended December 31, 2000, representations by the we
regarding review ofllondfiO closure/post closure estimates and a comm\1nv....mu !tom the California
Integrated Weste Management Board, Istndfill closure/post closure maintenance costs do not appear
to be a substantial threat to financial stability at this time. WC management appears to be well
aware of the risk that these costs pose to the Company.
4.3 Conclusions
Approximately 50",4 of total we revenues are !tom services provided under exclusive franchises,
contracts or permits. Revenues !tom such service arrangements nonnally are stable. The stability of .
the J'P.In'Iinil1g portion of the revenue stream will depend upon we abi1ity to remain competitive
with other service providers. WIth respect to recycling market risk, the we approach eliminates the
risk that revenue would not be available to' pay we costs ofcol1ection, processing and marketing of
recovered materials. Additionally, if established as represented, the we accounting and financial
system should be an aid in cost control which should reduce risk of uncontrolled cost increases
which could reduce net income.
Based upon we representations and draft financial information for the year eoded December 31,
2001, the we plan for repayment of long term debt appears reasonable; however, implementation
.ofthe plan requires effective """"'gement performance.
Referring to Appendix B tables and figures, the Current Ratio, Long Term DebtlEquity Ratio,
Return on Assets, Return on Equity and the information published by Muhex Investor
(www.mu1texinvestor.com) for the periods indicated for we and the average for "the Waste
Management Services Industry as a whole do not disclose any indication of financial instability.
Based upon all of the foregoing and assuming that we ""''''Igement effectiveness continues, there
is no reason to conclude that WC is nOt now financially stable and would not continue to be stable
with the passage ofthne.

6.0 SigaWeaat Cltatioas or Other Ceasure
A significant citation or other censure is defined as an event that has serious
consequences ifieft uncorrected by WC. Serious consequences include events of demuh
under the fi:anchise agreement and criminal legal actions against the company or its
senior management.
we reports that it does not currently have any J.'f""!ir1g criminai or civil legal actions
against it and/or its current corporate officers or persons who served as an officer within
the last two years, which arose from the officer's activities on behalf of the corporation.
Additionally, we bas not bad any of these issues in the past five years.
we has provided four 3-ring binders contAini~ inspection reports, notices of violations,
Agreed Orders to correct violations, and mi......nAnPOus reports and applications for
changed operating conditions, all related to landfill.. and transfer stations from throughout
the entire service area of the company. ~ reports have been reviewed, focusing on
notices of violation.
WC has disclosed negotiations on two Agreed Orders: one with the Colorado Air
Pollution Control Ageooy and one with the Oklahoma Department ofEnvironmenta!
Quality. The air issues in Colorado are of a historical nature as inherited 100m the
previous landfill owner. we reports the issues are being resolved. The Oklahoma issue
involves the importation of trash 100m I{AIW1S. and the contention by the state' that we
must get state approval to take out-of-state waste. we intends to fight this issue in
Federal Court ifnecessary. The background on these issues has been provided by we
and has been reviewed.
Conclusions
. The record of environmental citations and other censures does not indicate any significant
problems at WC landfill.. and transfer stations. The absence of any record ofdefiwlt
events under collection ftanchise agreements indicates there are no significant citations or
censures in collection operations. Contacts with other agencies I!CfVOO by WC
(Vancouver and elark County, W A) and the records provided by WC indicate that
problems are not significant and often quickly resolved.

7.0 Opentions Conducted in an Environmentally Safe and ConKlentioas
Fashion
The parameters for operations include trucks and mobile equipment, residential and
commercial COl'tllit-s, customer service, collection crews (safety and training) and
conformance with service terms of the ftancbise agreement.
The criteria for meaSuring an environmentally safe and conscientious fushion are a
mixture of subjective and objective items. The objective item; include the type of
collection containers and trucks (non leaking wheeled carts, low emission truck engines),
noise levels during truck operations, liquids J...a1ri11g from packer bodies, and response
time to customer complaints of",i~o;ed service.
Subjective items include truck ru.""Ige to streets and lost-time events for equipment and
labor.
WC has developed a comprehensive Safety Manual for implementation and use by all
operating districts. That mA"'lal was provided by WC in CD format and reviewed for
content. WC reports that District managers are accountable to company management for
adequate performance in responding to local enviroIlJ1Y'31tal requirements in their
communities. Inadequate performance can be grounds for loss of job.
Telephone contact withconummitles served by we (Clark County and Vane6uver, WA)
since 1997 gave no objective information on problems with trucks, containers, noise
levels and response time to customer complaints. Service complaints are minor and
quickly resolved, and there was no documentation in agency files of environmental
problems from we equipment.
Conclusions
we projects and has implemented a corporate culture of conducting operations in an
envirofl111P.l1talty sound and conscientious fushion. The Safety Manual is comprehensive
in content and conforms to industry standards for training and measuring performance of
operations sta1I

8.0 Solid Waste Management Pnetices (souDdDess aDd eompliaDee witb aU
regulatory laws, iDcludiDg hazardous waste)
The parameters for soundness and compliance include service contracts, equipment
technology, agency ""''''Igement mandates, and commitment to practices of the industry.
8.1 Service contracts
Service contracts are sound practice when both parties get what they need without
excessive pressures or l11U1cceptable risk. we bas reported numerous types of contracts
(governmental certificates, fi'anchise agreements, municipal contracts, colDIDerCial
service agreements, residential subscription, residential contract) in the communities
being served. This record of performance in accordance with local community
contracting procedures indicates a willingness to comply with local requirements.
8.2 Equipment technology
Sound practices in equipment technology includes periodic upgrading of containers to
meet regulatory requirements for waste storage, adopting engine and body specifications
for collection vehicles that reduce engine emissions and noise, and replacing inefficient
equipment. we bas been operating equipment for less than 5 years so it is not possible to
evaluate historic records to measure sound equipment technology practices. we reports
that it expects the usefulJife of collection vehicles to be at least 7 years, and that
. equipment age and the capital needed to replace inefficient equipment at the time of
acquisition is included in the cost of the acquisition.
8.3 Agency management "",ndates
Local and state mandates for hazardous wastes, vehicle emissions and recycling are
examples of requhements to be met in comp1iance practices. WC reports offi:ring no
services for hazardous waste disposal,' and that they do not intend to offer such services.
Where communities have requested the service, we bas provided hazardous waste
receiving and packaging services to prepare- materials for pickup and removal by a
licensed hazardous waste handIer.
we knows of the California waste diversion mandates under AB 939 based on other
California collection operations (Chowchilla, Manunoth Lakes), and they have stated that
eity requirements for recycling will be continued.
, 8.4 Conclusions
Ahhough we has operated waste management systems for less than 5 years, they have
demonstrated a commitment to sound waste ""''''Igement practices by allowing the
managers of subsidiaries to continue practices used in the connnunity for many years
before acquisition. Also, many members of we senior management had the opportunity

-~~'-"'--"----"-
to develop sound practices during years of previous employment with other large waste
management companies.

and (4) notes payable to third parties and secured by assets of certain subsidiary companies.
Credit Facility: we has a $435 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate ofbanks for
which Fleet Boston Financial Corp. acts as agent. This credit facility allows we to issue up to $40
million in stand by letters of credit that reduce the total amount available for borrowing under the
credit fiIci1ity. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by virtually all of the Company's
assets. Ernst & Young, LLP reports that, as of December 31, 2000, we was in compliance with

we Plan.~ for Lo~ Term Debt: Acquisitions have and will continue to be an important
component of the growth strategy followed by WC.20 Long term debt, revenues, cost of operations
and net income for the period 1998 - 2001 are shown in Figure 2. In the 3 year period, revenues
have increased as have cost of operations and net income which has experienced a 13 fold
increase.21 Projections of net income for 2002 in "First Call Earnings Estimates" available for we
at http://biz.yahoo.comare $1.85 per share or about $50 million with total revenues projected to be
$452 million for 2002.22
we advises that consideration of the lo~ term debt and notes payable amOunt reported in the draft
Balance Sheet for December 31, 2001 should recognize that (1) aboUt $150 million of said amount
is unsecured subordinate debt that converts to common stock at $38 per share and (2) an additional
amount of about $18 million is non recourse debt leaving about $249 million as the J"'I1VIinh1g long
term debt and notes payable. we also advises that conversion of the unsecured subordinate debt
would increase total stockholder equity to about $536 million and that net income for 2001 should
be increased by some $6,500 to reflect non-recurring charges in 2001. 23
we has advised that (1) stockholder equity would be more than 200% of the $249 million in long
term debt identified above and (2) net income after 2001 will allow for some buy down before the
eredit Facility matures in 2005. Consequently, we plans to pay down the Credit Facility debt as
allowed by actual net income and other business operations and acquisitions and renegotiate the
ba1ance remaining in 2005.24 .

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TERRY FIBICH, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND FIRE @
SUBJECT: AUTHORlZA nON TO CONTRACT WITH RRM DESIGN GROUP
TO PRODUCE A FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR EXPANSION OF
THE FIRE STATION
DATE: APRIL 9, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Council authorize the City Manager to approve and enter
into a contract for professional services related to a feasibility analysis and cost
estimate for Fire Station expansion, with RRM Design Group, for an amount not
to exceed $16,000.
FUNDING:
Development impact fees have been collected since 1999 to ensure that
adequate public facilities are always available to serve the demand for fire and
other City services. Account #210 0000 4726, designated for Fire Impact Fees,
would be the source of funding for this $16,000 appropriation. Currently this
account has collected adequate fees to fund this appropriation.
DISCUSSION:
The Fire Department's approach to service delivery utilizing volunteers as its
primary responders has been rooted in deep tradition. This mindset of the
community was demonstrated when the Fire Station was built in 1980 with no
accommodations for sleeping. Today, the volunteers of the Department have
been augmented with some paid positions. There has been an increase of 723
percent in calls since the Station was built and a staff of volunteers and paid-
personnel are now spending 20 to 24 hours per day at the Station. The existing
facility has proven to be undersized in several major areas.
The training room presently provides adequate training space for only one-third
of our present volunteer staff. Restrooms, lockers, and showers are either non-
existent or undersized, and different-sex facilities must be provided. The most
pressing need is for sleeping facilities since roll-around beds are presently being
used in offices, dayroom, and the training room.

The Facility and Staffing Needs Assessment under development by DMG
Maximus is projected to be complete within the next few weeks for City Council
review. The consultant has provided staff with preliminary feedback that these
facility needs will be identified in their findings. Staff recommends the City
proceed with the Fire Station expansion feasibility study prior to completion of
the needs assessment in order to have the results in time to consider funding
alternatives for next fiscal year.
To accommodate any expansion of the existing facility, structural examination,
design concepts and construction cost estimates must be done to determine the
suitability of adding a second story to the structure. RRM Design Group of San
Luis Obispo, the original designers of the Fire Station, has proposed a feasibility
study for the needed expansion using their intimate knowledge of the building
and site. This study will include Conceptual Design, Structural Analysis, and
Cost Estimate.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
-Approve staff's recommendation;
-Do not approve staff's recommendation;
-Modify as appropriate and approve staff's recommendation;
-Provide direction to staff.

Re: Expansion of Main Fire Station - Feasibility Study
Dear Mr. Fibich:
Per our telephone conversation, I am enclosing a revised Feasibility Study Proposal that reflects the
inclusion of a Training Room on the second floor. In addition, we have added an additional phase to
encompass the Construction Documentation, Bidding Services, and Construction Administration aspects
of the project once a conceptual direction has been determined.
As we discussed, because of the intimate knowledge that RRM has of the existing building and site due to
the fact that we originally designed the project, we feel that RRM will be able to provide these
Construction Documentation, Bidding, and Construction Services in an efficient manner that will save the
City of Arroyo Grande time and money. Since the exact nature of the scope of the renovations will not be
known until the Conceptual Design, Structural Analysis, and Cost Estimate are completed, fees for these
added phases cannot yet be detennined. The enclosed Revised Fee Sheet describes the manner in which
the Fees for these added phases will be determined upon the decision to move forward with a selected
design.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to work with your Department. If you have any questions about the
enclosed proposal, please call me at 805 I 543-1794, extension 257, or e-mail jfturtchin@rrmdesign.com.

City of Arroyo Grande
Feasibility Study for Main Fire Station Expansion
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Understanding
. Expansion of the existing single-story fire station originally designed by RRM and constructed in 1980.
The project goal includes the addition of square footage by creating a second floor over the present
Administration Area to accommodate: Firefighters' training room; four, two-bed sleeping rooms; male
and female firefighters' bathrooms and showers; an exercise room; and a firefighters' pole to the first
floor. The goal of the first floor renovation will be to accommodate the locations of the: stairs from the
new second floor, firefighters' pole, and the plumbing/mechanical/dectrical systems for the second
floor. RRM has access to the original constru'ction drawings for the station.
. It is understood that the entire station (including existing Administration Area, Apparatus Bay, and new
construction) is to have an automatic fire sprinkler system installed.
. Site improvements beyond new utility runs and minimal landscape repair are not anticipated.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND PROJECT BUDGETING
The following is the proposed work plan and strategy devdoped by RRM for the Arroyo Grande Fire Station
Expansion project.
Conceptual Design and Project Budgeting
Approach:
Based on the project understanding described above, RRM will produce one (1) conceptual building layout
for a new second floor over the Administration Area of the existing fire station. The conceptual design will
include an exterior elevation showing the massing of the existing building with the proposed addition. The
intent of this conceptual study is to be able to identify the operational priorities of the Department as they
affect the design of the project and apply them spatially to the existing facility to determine levels of costs for
the improvements. With this analysis, the Design Team can lead the project into the next phase with a strong
understanding of the operational priorities and the various costs assigned to meet those priorities.
RRM's Engineering consultants will then create conceptual designs for the Electrical, Structural, Mechanical,
and Plumbing systems for the proposed expansion that will then be used by our Cost Estimating consultant
to estimate the construction costs for the expansion.
Meetings:
" One (1) site meeting with consultants and the Director of Building and Fire Safety to review expansion
needs and direction
. One (1) meeting to present two (2) conceptual floor plans and two (2) devation studies
. One (1) meeting to present revised conceptual floor plan and elevations
. One (1) meeting to present the Cost Estimate, Budget, and Feasibility Report
Products: Feasibility Analysis Report
. Description of existing facility
. Conceptual floor plan of proposed second floor expansion
. Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical Conceptual Engineering Plans
. Conceptual overall building massing study with second floor expansion
. Independent Construction Costs Estimate
. Conceptual Project Budget using Cost Estimate
Schedule: Five (5) weeks

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Schematic Design
Approach:
Based on the Conceptual Floor Plan and exterior design created for the facility, the RRM Design Team will
produce the Schematic Phase architectural plans, schematic engineering plans, outline specifications, and the
schematic cost estimate for review and approval by the City of Artoyo Grande. Based on the infonnation
generated above, RRM will prepare the planning submittals documents requtted for review and approval by
the City of Artoyo Grande Planning and Public \It;'orks Departments.
Products:
. Set of presentation plans with one (1) colored elevo.tions and materiJU display board
. Plan Review Application
. Schematic Engineering Report
" Preliminary construction cost estimate
. Outline specifications
Meetings:
. Regularly scheduled meetings with the City Project Team
. Requtted meetings with the Regulatory staff
. Presentation to the City Council
Estimated Schedule: Six (6) weeks
Design Development
Approach:
The primary intent of the Design Development phase is to determine the exact size, prome, and character of
the building design and renovation to fonn a basis for final construction documents. RRM and the
consultant team will use this very intense phase of the work to pull together all the components and make the
crucial engineering and material decisions. Client participation in this process is key, the decisions made
during this phase will have to balance the cost of construction with the livability and maintainability of the
building.
To accomplish this, our main tasks will be the production of the:
. Interior design including selection of interior materials and colors
. Dimensioned layout of final plans, sections, and elevations to fix the size and configuration of the
building
. Preliminary door and window schedules
. Preliminary interior finish schedule
. Design of all engineered systems including:
Structural design with rough member sizing and seismic strengthening detJliling developed for the
renovation projects
- Rough mechanical layout
- Rough plumbing layout and fixture schedule
Rough electrical layout and fixture schedule

quickly respond to contractors' requests, as well as client-initiated revisions. RRM has direct experience in
the logistical and cost implementation issues at playas a part of the temporary interruption of a fire station
and can assist the City in the preparation of the bid documents to address the issue.
Products:
. Bid documents - invitation to bidders, special requirements, alternates
. Bid services - addenda, clarifications, bid review
Estimated Schedule: Six (6) weeks
Services During Construction
Approach:
The RRM Team will remain primarily responsible for the review of submittals, shop drawings, pay requests,
and contractors' requests for clarification. The structural engineer will provide on-call site review services as
necessary. It is anticipated that a construction management team will be hired by the City to manage the day-
to-day operations at the site. RRM's Team will attend bi-weekly coordination meetings.
