Development ("the proposed project") is consistent with the goals, objectives,
policies, plans, programs, intent, and requirements of the General Plan.

or result in an illogical land use pattern because all street, drainage, water, sewer,

coordinated.

Plan designation for the subject property.

can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
RESOLUTION NO. 3972
PAGE 2
Tentative Tract Map Findings:
1. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies,
plans, programs, intent, and requirements of the Arroyo Grande General Plan and
the text and requirements of the Development Code because the tentative map
would allow the project area to be developed at a density and with uses that are
consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Element and Single-Family (SF)
zoning designation.
2. The site, as shown on the tentative tract map, is physically suitable for the type of
development and density proposed because all necessary easements, access,
parking, open space, and setbacks can be provided.
3. The design of the tentative tract map or the proposed improvements are not likely
to cause substantial damage to the natural environment, including fish, wildlife or
their habitat, with implementation of mitigation measures contained in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
4. The design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause
public health problems because adequate sewer, water, and drainage facilities are
provided.
5. The design of the tentative tract map or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of,
property within the proposed tentative tract map or that alternate easements for
access or for use will be provided, and that these alternative easements will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. The property,
has access to public roads.
6. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community
sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements a prescribed in
Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the California Water Code.
7. Adequate public services and facilities exist or will be provided as the result of the
proposed tentative tract map to support project development. The tentative tract
map is located adjacent to all necessary public facilities and will not negatively
affect the adequacy of those facilities.
Planned Unit Development Findings:
1. The proposed development is consistent with the goals, objectives, and programs
of the Arroyo Grande General Plan. The proposed development of thirty (30) units
is allowed in the SF-MD land use category.
2.
(
The project site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use and all
yards, open spaces, setbacks, walls and fences, parking areas, landscaping,
agricultural buffer and other features required by the Development Code. The
proposed development provides an adequate amount of open space based on the
RESOLUTION NO. 3972
PAGE 3
proposed density. The development has been designed so that each unit has an
average of approximately 4,000 square feet of private open space and over two (2)
acres will be dedicated as common open space.
3. The site for the proposed development has adequate access, meaning that the
site design and development plan conditions consider the limitations of existing
streets and highways.
4. Adequate public services exist, or will be provided in accordance with the
conditions of the development plan approval, to serve the proposed development;
and that the approval of the proposed development will not result in a reduction of
public services to properties in the vicinity so as to be a detriment to public health,
safety, and welfare. The proposed development is adjacent or in close proximity to
all necessary public services. The proposed development will not cause a
reduction in these services or other properties in the vicinity so as to be a detriment
to public health, safety or welfare.
5. The proposed development, as conditioned, will not have a substantial adverse
effect on surrounding property, or the permitted use thereof, and will be compatible
with the existing single-family residential use in the surrounding area. The
proposed one hundred and thirty foot (130') wide agricultural buffer with sixty- to
eighty-foot (60'-80') wide landscape strip, fencing along the agricultural property,
and eight-foot (8') tall masonry wall adjacent to the new residential development
will adequately separate conflicting Agricultural and residential uses.
6. The improvements required, and the manner of development, adequately address
all natural and man-made hazards associated with the proposed development of
the project site, including, but not limited to, flood, seismic, fire and slope hazards.
7. The proposed development carries out the intent of the Planned Unit
Development provisions by providing a more efficient use of the land and an
excellence of design greater than that which could be achieved through the
application of conventional development standards. The proposed development
provides a more efficient use of the land than could be achieved through the
strict application of the SF zoning district by allowing the property to be
subdivided in a manner consistent with and reflective of allowed density, while
providing an adequate amount of open space and all necessary parking.
8. The proposed development complies with all applicable performance standards
listed in Development Code Section 16.32.050.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande hereby approves Vesting Tentative Map 04-002 and Planned Unit Development
04-002, with the above findings and subject to the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A",
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
