AVENUE
Public Works Director Karp stated that the subject map is a lot
line adjustment which corrects an existing problem on parcel two where
older structures encroached on parcel one. The..map was originally approved
by the Planning Commission on April 7, 1981, but has not expired due to
extension in time stipulated by the Map Act because of the Sanitation
district sewer hookup moritorium., The lot is located on the northerly
frontage of East Cherry Avenue, west 'of ' Pacific Coast Railway Place. No
street improvements have been required as they were constructed with the
original parcel map for parcels,one, three, four, and five. Mr. Karp
recommended that Council find that parcel map AG'80-74 be found consistent
with the General Plan ,and zoning and approve the map. On motion of Council
Member Millis, seconded by'Council Member Hogan, it was unanimously voted
, to find'that parcermap AG 80-74 is consistent with the General Plan arid
zoning and, approve the map.

TWO PARCELS,'LOCATED OFF FLORA ROAD AND BRANCH MILL'ROAD
Planning Director Hays stated that this public hearing was continued
at the';request,"of~the applicants to allow them 'to contact an attorney to
determine if thi~ 'is,a legal application and the question'regarding the'
meaning of the,A-D zoning with the 'D' override and if they could apply
for a lot split in this case. A letter was received from Attorney Margaret
Stone in which she states it is a legal application.' Attorney Shipsey
stated that he agrees it is a legal application.' Mr; Hays stated the
applicants, are requesting the optional design standards. One parcel is
9.99 acres and the other is 1.63 acres, for'a total of 11.62 acres. The
applicants wish to lea~~e parcel one as .3 single economically farmable unit
if they can create"a smaller parcel, parcel two, for a' future homesite.
Their idea is to leave'the best land intact as a'single parcel 'which
cannot be further divided under, the present zoning. The hearing hav~ng
been properly published and noticed, Mayor Pope opened it for public comment.

THOM HEAD, 344 Santa Fe, Pismo Beach, stated they..originally requestediian
equal split of the property, which was not approved as the Council at that
time felt the property._should remain agicultural. They are now reques~ing_
td keep a large piece of the property in agriculture, but want the ii
density allowed under the_ zoning. _BILL MCCANN,-575_ Crown. Hill, stated_':
he is interested in the property _and explained his .theories of the_ _
building site. He stated he feels a split of the property would take away
access to Branch _Mil,l Road. He _referred.._to the CounciL minutes of,
March 18 a~d 22, 1977 regarding this p:roperty. _He stated that -the int~nt
of the ordinance is to make five parcels of the property and -not a five acre

edsement is large enough; the legality of the application has already been

ha'ving no objection to the split. H. E. BEEN, 1620 So. Elm, stated he':owns
the adjoining property and stated he _is not opposed to the lot split. :1
RONNIE YOUNG, 424 Greenwood, and MIKE THOMPSON, 543-E. Branch,- spoke in

favor of the application. BILL MCCANN, 575 Crown Hill, stated he is concerned
regarding the optional design standards proposed,_and_feels the future ~.99
acre parcel could be split again and ruin the intent of people concerned
with preserving farmland. There being no further comments, the hearing was
closed. .. _ ..
;i
AdIninistrator. Sheldon pointed out -that. Staff had_not prepared the disp;!-ayed
map of the property. Council Member Smith asked questions of the applicants.

action.. _Council Meii1ber Millis _ expressed concern at farm equipment. travelling
d6wn Flora Road. There was discussion re-garding the land use density 'i
a}lowed. Planning Director Hays stated that there is an inconsistency;
between the General Plan and zoning. Some properties zoned Agricultur$
have the five acre minimum, but some allow low density, such as the su~ject
pt,'operty.Mayor Pope stated that the legality questions regarding the!!
. . Ii
statements in the General Plan have been addressed. Attorney Shipsey advised
that the General Plan designates this property as Low. Density so Council
must make the finding that it is consistent with the Land Use Element 6f _
the General Plan. Mayor Pope pointed out that 'Flora Road is used by f~rm
equipment by other farmers. Council Member Millis stated that the it~ should
be continued for further study. Council Member Millis moved that the item
be continued for clarification from staff regarding the wording of the:! General
Plan and so that Council Members may view the site and was seconded by]!
