ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
WHEREAS, on December 17, 1996 the Planning Commission held a public hearing
pursuant to State Law and City Codes on Tentative Tract Map No. 2207 and
Conditional Use Permit 96-543 (P.U.D. Permit); and
WHEREAS, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the Planning Commission
approved said Tentative Tract Map and Conditional Use Permit by Resolution No. 96-
1597; and
WHEREAS, on December 20, 1996 Herman and Helen Olave and residents of the
Jones Tract, fifed an appeal of the Planning Commission's approval, contending that
the primary tract access approved by the Planning Commission will require roadway
improvements for safety and additional traffic will be generated by other projects; and
WHEREAS, the City Councif of the City of Arroyo Grande held a duly noticed public
hearing on January 28, 1997, a public meeting on April 3, 1997, and a noticed public
hearing April 22, 1997 to consider said appeal; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the negative declaration and finds, on the
basis of the expanded initial study and comments received, that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and
approves said negative declaration; and
WHEREAS, after due study, deliberation, and public hearing, the City Councif finds
that the following circumstances exist relative to said appeal:
1. Providing primary tract access from Orchard Avenue will not lower the level of
service of any road or intersection within the project area or require
improvements to said road or intersections. As stated in the report of Willdan
Associates dated November 12, 1996 (the "Willdan Report"), "the proposed
project will not cause a significant impact on the peak period operating
conditions at any of the 8 intersections studied. Each of the intersections
studied will continue to operate at an acceptable level of service (LOS A-C) for
each peak traffic period during post project conditions. n
2. Providing primary tract access from Orchard Avenue will not result in any
unsafe conditions that have not been mitigated by tract conditions or mitigation
measures. Reference is made to Conditions of Approval 8, 9,45, 52, 53, 56,
88, 108, 109 and Mitigation Measures 9, 10, 1 2, 1 3, 14 and 15. Additionally,
the Willdan Report indicates that the project will generate 45 vehicle trips
during anyone hour period on Orchard Avenue, and that all existing streets and
intersections in the project area are capable of supporting this increase in traffic
volume. Further, the Willdan Report states that "the proposed project will not
significantly impact vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle circulation within the study
area. "
