Community Development Director Strong presented the staff report and responded to questions from Council. Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing. Stan Cherry, President of Santa Lucia Bank, addressed concerns expressed about the proposed number of drive-thru lanes. He stated that the bank strives to offer ten open teller windows inside the bank and enough drive-up windows to provide good customer service. John Kniqht, RRM Design Group, addressed concerns expressed by the Planning Commission and explained modifications made to the project which include an enhanced pedestrian access/circulation pattern; a reduction in the building's size and n CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 22, 2003 PAGE 5 scale; replacement of palm trees with smaller, decorative trees; a modification of the plaza wall to reduce the visual mass; and the availability of bike parking near the plaza and near the retail buildings, close to the front doors. Katcho Achadiian, Santa Lucia Bank Board Member, thanked the Council for its consideration of the project. He stated the project would relieve traffic congestion at this new location and that the retail and senior complex nearby would benefit from the project. He asked the Council to support the project. Jim Guthrie, Planning Commissioner, commented on the project's lack of compliance with the General Plan. He commented that the project was overparked; expressed concerns with the adequacy of the traffic analysis; and expressed concern that the project did not begin t_o meet the General Plan requirement for higher intensity use in this location. Tim Brown, agreed with Mr. Guthrie that the project was overparked, not pedestrian friendly, and that it was not the best use for the property. He also questioned why the building was four foot above grade. John Knight, RRM Design Group, responded to public comments regarding the drive- thru lanes; the change in intensity; parking; and building height requirements. Katcho Achadiian also responded to the concern regarding intensity of use. He noted that a meeting room would be available in the building for potential community use. Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing. Mayor Ferrara stated that he considered the project as consistent with smart-growth; the project provides for a pleasing transition into the gateway; commented that as mixed- use, the project meets balance and smart-growth concepts; agreed that the adjacent building should remain as retail; the project would attract a resident/pedestrian population; felt the project meets the goals of the E. Grand Avenue Master Plan; believed that there is room for interpretation in the General Plan to allow the proposed use; would like to look at tandem configuration for drive-thru lanes; would prefer to see some other type of tree other than palm trees; expressed concerns with traffic on Courtland; agreed that the applicant should add a deed restriction on the property to ensure architecture is consistent on the adjacent building and would support adding a condition that the adjacent building would be retail and not office; commented that the project would realize tax increment for the Redevelopment Agency which would help the City; commented that he liked the changes that had been made to the project; and stated he was supportive of the project with the stated conditions. Council Member Costello stated that his biggest concerh was pedestrian accessibility from the senior project. He felt it was necessary for the walkway to be widened to E. Grand Avenue with the elimination of the drive-through lanes. He said he could support the project if that area was modified, as the general accessibility needed to be improved. He said the bank could serve the residential community and he encouraged the expansion of retail use. n n CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 22, 2003 PAGE 6 Mayor Pro Tem Dickens stated he would like to see Santa Lucia Bank located on this corner and in referring to the General Plan, he had no difficulties fitting this project into the land use objectives. He commented that the project was lacking in its architectural design and that it portrayed more of a Southern California theme. He did not support the planting of palm trees, expressed concerns with the driveway access/configuration; and as far as intensity of use, encouraged more mixed-use. Mayor Ferrara asked the applicant to address the concerns expressed with regard to the architecture, the pass-through walkway, and increasing the size of the retail pad. John Knight, RRM Design Group, stated that the architecture style was very important to Santa Lucia Bank, as it was a part of their identity. He addressed the concerns relating to the walkway and said they could accommodate the suggested changes; and provided two options for the retail building which included increasing the building's square footage to the north, decreasing the parking, or designing atwo-story building. He agreed that restricting the downstairs use to retail was a good idea. He requested a continuance of the project in order to work with staff on modifying the project. Council Member Costello moved to continue the item until May 13, 2003, Mayor Pro Tem Dickens seconded the motion, and on the following roll call vote, to wit: AYES: Costello, Dickens, Ferrara NOES: None ABSENT: Lubin, Runels There being 3 AYES, 0 NOES, and 2 ABSENT, the motion is hereby declared to be passed. Mayor Ferrara called a break at 9:44 p.m. The Council reconvened at 9:50 p.m. Council Members Lubin and Runels returned to the dais. 9.c.

He explained that the building has been empty and that it did not lend itself to retail use. He stated that the proposed use would bring consumers in to the Center and that Investec was looking for long-term tenants. He said filling this space would conclude the leasing of Building J. Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing. Council Member Lubin referred to the picture of a "Join Now" membership trailer in the staff report and asked if such a trailer was included in this proposal. Director Strong replied it was not included. Council Member Lubin commented on the issue of income from sales tax revenue; however, he looked at the site, looked at the parking lot, looked at the other fitness center in the City that was almost maxed out, and commented that this use would bring more people to the complex. He stated he could support the project and that the City would gain potential benefit of sales tax revenue from members who use the Genter and then visit the other stores in the complex. Council Member Costello addressed the issue regarding potential loss of saJes tax. He said that the trade-off was that the building would not sit there empty. He commented that the people coming to the Fitness Center would shop at the stores in the Five Cities Center; therefore, he could support the project. Council Member Runels said the buildings were built to be a retail center and that the proposed use would not provide any sales tax. He could not support the project as proposed. Mayor Pro Tern Dickens felt that this was an appropriate request and commented that Investec has tried with much difficultly to lease the building. He said there was a need for this type of service. He recommended the applicant contact the Physical Education Department at Arroyo Grande High School to encourage student access to the facility. He supported the project. Mayor Ferrara commented that he wished there was another place in the City that would meet the applicant's needs, and not in Five Cities Center. He referred to the sales tax and stated that a statement of overriding considerations was required to approve the shopping center project. He said that one of the primary overriding consideration findings relied on the sales tax revenue projections. He said he could not support the proposal based on that finding. He suggested that teamwork was needed between Investec and the Economic Development Department to find a retail use for the building.
