RESOLUTION NO. 3973
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARROYO
GRANDE UPHOLDING AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S
APPROVAL OF PLOT PLAN REVIEW CASE NO. 06-015 TO CONVERT
TWELVE (12) OF THE SIXTY (60) PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
CONDOMINUM UNITS FROM TWO (2) BEDROOMS TO THREE (3)
BEDROOMS; APPLICANT - OCEAN OAKS BUILDERS; LOCATION - 579
CAMINO MERCADO
WHEREAS, on October 3, 2006 the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on Plot Plan Review Case No. 06-015 and approved the project with a condition
that three (3) of the units be reserved for affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, on October 10, 2006 the City Council appealed the Planning Commission's
decision; and
WHEREAS, on November 14, 2006 the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing
on Plot Plan Review Case No. 06-015 and tentatively upheld the appeal to deny the
project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the
following circumstances exist:
1. The proposed amended project is inconsistent with the goals, objectives, policies,
plans, programs, intent, and requirements of the General Plan Housing Element
because three-bedroom units reduce the affordability of this senior housing
project.
2. The proposed amended project will adversely affect the public health, safety, and
welfare and would result in an illogical pattern of development because the
additional twelve bedrooms substantially intensify onsite uses with no concomitant
increase in site amenities and a decrease in bathrooms. Additionally, the
proposed size of the rooms in the three (3) bedroom units are unreasonably
small. Lastly, impacts from the additional project residents, including traffic,
water, sewer, emergency medical and fire response have not been analyzed.
3. The proposed amended project is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the
Development Code (including PD1.1), because the additional twelve (12)
bedrooms change the fundamental character of the project by intensifying use of
the site beyond that contemplated by the original approval, as amended, affecting
the welfare, comfort and convenience of project residents..
