A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARROYO GRANDE UPHOLDING AN APPEAL OF THE
PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 06-005 AND APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 06-005 AS MODIFIED;
LOCATED AT 231 SOUTH HALCYON ROAD; APPLIED
FOR BY JEFF HOLLISTER
WHEREAS, the applicant has filed Conditional Use Permit 06-0(}5 to demolish two (2)
single-family residences and construct a mixed-use building with 3,720 square-feet of
office space on the ground-floor and one (1) second-floor apartment; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande adopted Resolution
06-2016 approving Conditional Use Permit 06-005 on October 3,2006; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has appealed the Planning Commission's decision. specifically
Condition of Approval #15, regarding the City's Pavement Cut Policy; and
,
"
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande has considered this appeal at a
public hearing on November 28, 2006 in accordance with the Municipal Code of the City
of Arroyo Grande; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, that
the following circumstances exist:
Basis of Appeal
The City's Pavement Cut Policy allows a certain amount of discretion to be
exercised when determining when restrictions can be lifted and also what
repairs constitute restoring a street to it's pre-cut condition. There is an existing
water meter along Dodson Way that must be properly abandoned with approval
of the project, requiring a cut into Dodson Way. This abandonment may be
deferred until such time (3 years) that the current restriction prohibiting cuts in
Dodson way expires, after which only patching and no repaving would be
required as a result of the cut. Given the option of either cutting into the street
and repaving the street from lip of gutter to centerline of street along the project
frontage concurrent with construction of the project or postponing any street
cuts an additional three years and not repaving any portion of the street, the
Council finds that, due to the specific circumstances applying to this project, the
former option would satisfactorily restore the street to it's pre-cut condition, and
is therefore more consistent with the City's Pavement Cut Policy than the latter.
Conditional Use Permit Findings
1. The proposed use is permitted within' the subject district pursuant to the
provisions of this section and complies with all the applicable provisions of this
title, the goals, and objectives of the Arroyo Grande general plan, and the
development policies and standards of the city. .
RESOLUTION NO. 3981
PAGE 2
The primary purpose of the Office Mixed Use (OMU) zoning district is to
'provide areas for the establishment of corporate, administrative, and medical
offices and facilities, commercial seNices that are required to support major
business medical development, and multi-family housing.' The proposed use
consists of office area as well as an apartment and is therefore consistent with
the stated purpose of the OMU zoning district.
2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in
which it is to be established or located.
The proposed use is consistent with other uses in the OMU zoning district,
which is comprised primarily of professional office uses, and therefore would
not impair the integrity or character of the OMU zoning district.
3. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use or development that is
proposed.
The proposed use consists of office and residential, both of which are suitable
for the site, which is adjacent to similar office and residential uses. The site is
also suitable for the proposed intensity of use, due to its location within a
professional office corridor and proximity to complimentary services.
4. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure public health and safety.
The project will connect to existing utilities and will not affect public health and
safety.
5. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare
or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity.
There is nothing unusual about the proposed use that will be detrimental to the
public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to properties and'
improvements in the vicinity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande hereby upholds the appeal and approves Conditional Use Permit 06-005 as
modified, based on the above findings.
