Arroyo Grande, CA 93421
Dear Mr. Hamilton: from William E. Daniel, 741 Printz Road
In Regards to the proposed James Way Annexation, Tract #2265. Known as, The
Village Glen Annexation.
I will be unable to attend the meeting that is scheduled for your April 27th
meeting due to a prior commitment. So I will express my views here. I am enclosing a
copy of my letter, dated March 25,1999, so you will know where I am coming from.
I would still like to see my proposal of combining lots number 40 and 41 thus
creating one lot. And combining lots number 42 and 43, and lots number 44 and 45.
Which would create two lots, one of 1.00 acre and one of. 88 acre. And combine lots 46
and 47 into one lot of .81 acre. Also combine lots 48, 49 and 50 into two lots of 1.00
acre and one lot of .45 acre.
Again this would result in a loss of 5 lots, leaving a total of 54 lots for the project.
To help the developer regain a portion of this loss I would propose that the developer
could reintroduce the two lots that were removed between lots 1 and 58. This would
provide the developer with 56 lots. While this does not create lots of 1.00 ac in size,
(which I would like to see as I feel it is in keeping with the adjoining properties). I think
that this might be more in keeping with the general plan and would be not only fair to the
developer but to the surrounding land owners as well.
After conversation with a member of your staff I would like to withdraw my
objections to the proposed fire access road off Easy street, as it seems to be a practical
solution to providing access to the area in the case of a disaster.
Once more, please let's preserve as many of the oaks as is practical and the
eucalyptus trees that are on the site as these not only tend to beautify the area but also
serve as a place of refuge to some of the wildlife in our area.
I do have a concern about the additional withdrawal of water from their proposed
aquifer in as much as I should hope it would not cause the available water to be depleted
to a point where my well would run dry. I realize that the proposed water extraction is on
a different aquifer.....but it is directly below the one that serves my well, as well as my
neighbors wells. Could we expect some assurance that this would not happen, and in the
unlikely event it did occur would there be a source of water that would be available to us.

Mr. Jim Hamilton, AI
Director of Community Development
P. O. Box 550
Arroyo Grande, CA 93421
Dear Mr. Hamilton: from William E. Daniel, 741 Printz Road
In regard to the proposed James Way Annexation (Village Glen Annexation),
Tract 2265. I have looked at the new proposed site plan as shown on their map dated
February 25,1999. I feel they have taken some steps to overcome my objections to their
development as they originally proposed it, but I would like to see the developer change
their new proposed plot plan to encompass the following.
Combine lots number 40 and 41, creating a lot of 1.06 ac in size.
Combine lots number 42, 43, 44 and 45, and realign the proposed property line between
lots 43 and 44 creating two lots, one of 1.00 ac and one of .88 ac.
Combine lots 46 and 47, creating a lot of .81 ac.
Combine lots 48, 49 and 50, and realign the proposed property line between lots 49 and
50 creating two lots, one of 1.00 ac and one of.45 ac.
This results in a loss of 5 lots, leaving a total of 54 lots for the project. Two additional
lots could be obtained by reintroducing the two lots that were removed between lots 1
and 58. This would provide the developer with 56 lots. While this does not create lots of
1.00 ac in size, which I would like to see, I feel that it might be a solution and more in
keeping with the general plan. Another benefit would be the reduced impact on our
overcrowded schools due to fewer families living in the area and less need of additional
facilities to service these new families.
Eliminate the fire access road easement through lots 43 and 44 and a portion oflot 42.
This proposed access road is totally impractical due to the location of the two homes on
Easy Street that abut the development. Create a new fire access road easement through
lots 36 and 37, to be accessed from Rodeo Drive, as noted on the tract map as "possible
future road alignment".
Please keep in mind the restriction of tree removal to preserve the oaks that are in the
proposed development, as has been done in the "Rancho Grande" and "Highlands"
development. Also the eucalyptus trees that are in the proposed development offer
refuge and nesting sites for a family of hawks that need our protection.
--.. - .-. _.."_..~,. ---'--------
_._-~--_....._--
....-- -
,
. .
I assume that the cost of any water treatment for the development would be borne by the
taxpayers. Could we possibly get a little help from the developers for these costs?
Would it be possible to look into the Grace Way extension as a means of reducing the
traffic impact on Rodeo Drive, and can we possibly obtain some help for the costs for
this extension from the developers.
Now with all these suggestions, here is a little "pat on the back" for all the members of
the Planning Commission for the careful planning that has been done on Rancho Grande
and The Highlands. These two developments are in keeping with the surrounding areas
and are a credit to the community. Thank you.
Respectfully yours,
William E. Daniel

Address to the City Council April 27,1999
Mayor Lady, Mayor Pro Tern Ferrara, Council Members:
My name is James R. Talbot, President of the Falcon Ridge
Homeowners Association. We are located south of the City of
Arroyo Grande, in the unincorporated area between EI Campo
and Los Berros Roads.
My purpose tonight is to establish the record on two issues:
1. Annexation of Falcon Ridge into the City of
Arroyo Grande, and
2. The EI Campo Road Interchange
It is expected that this information will be useful to your
Long Range Planning Committee as it goes forward with your
new General Plan.
First, we must request that the new General Plan carry no
threat to our property values or to our peace of mind:
We will oppose any discussion of annexation of Falcon Ridge,
and we ask that the City recognize that our roads are
inadequate for any purpose other than their approved use.
Additionally, our status as County residents shows there is
no requirement for the citizens of Arroyo Grande to share
their services or their resources with us. There will be
other demands on the City's services and resources, but
Falcon Ridge will not be one of those demands.
Secondly, we have been involved. in the EI Campo Interchange
process since 1997:
Our members wrote over 50 letters to support the City's
request to the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments to
retain funding for a project study.
We participated in that first Project Study Report. We
continue participation the second PSR. We will stay involved
in the Interchange issue until formal resolution is made.
We suggest these Falcon Ridge positions can be profitable for
all: The City will bear no burden for maintenance of our
development, yet our purchasing dollars will continue to
support the local business community. Falcon Ridge residents
can know they are free from encroachment.
Let us continue to work together as good neighbors on the EI
Campo question, ensuring a collaboration that will benefit
all of our neighborhoods.

City of Arroyo Grande
City Council
Attn: Administrative Services Department
214 E. Branch Street
Arroyo Grande, CA 93420
To Whom It May Concern;
I offer the following comments on the Planning Commission Staff Report and Resolutions
No. 99-1689, 99-1690, and 99-1691 regarding the proposed James Way Annexation (Village
Glen, General Plan Amendment 97-004, Development Code Amendment 97-009, and
Certification of the associated Environmental Impact Report.
My wife and I have been residents of Arroyo Grande for almost 25 years. We have raised
two children here. We recently moved to a residence in the immediate vicinity of the proposed
annexation. Consequently, my comments are influenced by both my hopes for the community as
well as my personal concerns.
Planning Commission Staff Report:
Page 2: The staff report characterizes the surrounding land use/zoning to the north by stating that
the lot sizes average 2.5 acres. This characterization could mislead the City Council and it tends
to minimize one of the impacts this development could have on existing city residences. One of
the contentious issues regarding this proposal is the lack of transition in lot size ftom the
proposed clustered lots in Tentative Tract 2265 to adjacent large acreage to the north. The lots
closest to the cluster development are appreciably larger than 2.5 acres. While the county has a
zoning minimum of 1 acre, I have walked the area along the entire northern edge of the proposed
annexation and the average lot size appears larger than that suggested.
Page 3: Please see specific comments regarding Planning Commission resolutions.
Page 6: Procedural Requirements - CEQA review: The City Council is being asked to certify that
the CEQA process has been completed. I do not know what the City's Implementing Procedures
are for following CEQA. However, I believe that all oral and written comments require a
response in the final CEQA document. I submitted a letter prior to the last Planning Commission
meeting on this proposal expressing concerns in a number of areas. That letter was not responded
. ,
.
to in the Final CEQA document and was not available to the Planning Commission when they
approved recommendation for certification. The letter has been responded to in this packet;
however, it was not available for the Planning Commission's consideration when they took action.
Page 8: General Plan Confonnity: The proposed annexation will not impact the tUIIOIlnt of
water resources available elsewhere within the City.
I have expressed concern regarding the potential for well interference at existing private
wells within the City that are located between the Deer Creek well site and where the deep aquifer
the well accesses surfaces near Highway 227 and Printz Road. The proposed short-term
production testing offered as a mitigation in the EIR will not adequately address weB production
and potential for well interference under drought conditions (an evaluation of worse case
scenarios are not addressed in the CEQA document) - nor, will the proposed soort-term testing
provide any confirmation that the assumptions used in the EIR assessment are reasonable.. These
are weakness in the EIR and should make it difficult to make the required findings. At a
minimum, I believe that another source of water must be available to the City to make the
requested finding. I suggest that the developer make the existing on-site well available to the City
iflong-term production at the Deer Creek well site becomes problematic. I believe this needs to
be done to reasonably find that the proposed annexation will not impact water resources available
elsewhere in the City.
While that commitment might address the City's larger concerns, it does nothing for my
personal concerns. My residence is within the city, but does not have a City water connection.
Well interference, if it occurs at my site, will simply degrade the value and limit the uses of my
property. If I understood his public comment, the hydrologist indicated that there was some
possibility for well interferrence at my site (and at other sites between the Deer Creek well and
where the aquifer surfaces). How many residents of the City have to be impacted before there is a
lack of Confonnity with the General Plan?
Page 9: General Plan Confonnity: Clear compatibility exists with the community's bask identity
as a rural smail town community; the goals and desires of the people and the Dty of Arroyo
Grande as a whole; and with the community's existing resources.
The staff report suggests that the designation of Rural Residential is consistent with the
land use and zoning designations of adjacent properties. It might be consistent if the proposed
Tract provided for actual one + acres lots on those proposed lots that are adjacent to existing city
lots with 2.5 acres minimums. Otherwise it seems inconsistent with those existing uses. Without
that provision, I believe that it is not in confonnity with the General Plan. I also believe it will
have a significant negative impact on the value of the larger lots that are within the City and in the
immediate vicinity of the Tract (including mine).
Page 11: General Plan Confonnity: Significant benefits will be derived by the City upon
annexation.
I question whether the long-term costs of continued development without corresponding
. . .
improvements in city inftastructure and services necessarily result in a net benefit to the City. I
accept that the short-term analysis (without considering long-term issues) suggests that the City
will experience a modest net gain.
Page 11: General Plan Conformity: Adequate infrastructure and services have been or can be
economically provided in accordance with current City standards.
The mitigation measures offered in the EIR to address the impacts on inftastructure and
services through approval of the proposed Tract are inadequate. The EIR provides mitigation in
the form of monitoring (City to determine if cumulative need exceeds existing capacity); however,
the developer does little to compensate for his contribution to the cumulative impacts trom
growth. I can also see that traffic issues through increase use on Rodeo Road are not adequately
addressed trom a cumulative /long-term impact perspective.
AITACHMENT 1 - RESOLUTION NO. 99-1689
Please see my comments regarding procedural requirements (1 st page - this
correspondence). The Whereas statement that asserts that all "comments thereon or object
thereto have been heard, and said Final EIR and all comments and responses thereto having been
considered; and ..." is incorrect. Further, the Planning Commission had not considered all
comments, written and oral, received at the public hearing on the Final EIR prior to adopting this
Resolution. I mentioned the lack of response to my written comments at that hearing and
expressed concern that they provided more detail than I could provide in oral presentation. I
would not be concerned except that the approach taken in EIR (word choice and depth of
analysis) suggest that the document was written in support of the proposed annexation and Tract
development, rather than as a full disclosure document designed to allow the City Council to
determine if development is in the publics best interest. However, I do acknowledge that much of
the analysis is probably adequate. The spin/bias apparent in some places in the EIR makes it more
difficult to accept all assertions when based on assumptions.
ATTACHMENT 2 - RESOLUTION NO. 99-1690
Please see earlier comments (re: staff report) regarding the adequacy of the suggested
findings. I question whether existing data can reasonably allow the passage of this resolution. I
have questioned potential for impacts to existing private wells within the City. I believe that the
existing Tract Map, with cluster development (small lots) adjacent to large acreage within the City
will result in impacts to land value and degrade the rural atmosphere that prompted our move to
this home (we have been residents of Arroyo Grande for almost 25 years).
AITACHMENT 3 - RESOLUTION NO. 99-1691
I believe that the proposed Development Code Amendment amending the Zoning Map
(prezoning) unreasonably and unnecessarily limits the City's options to structure development in
the proposed Tract in a way that best suits the City's needs.
" ,~ 7 .
You hold the structure and quality of our community experience in your hands. Just from
my exposure to this one issue, I sense that your role requires a very difficult balancing process and
I appreciate your taking the time to consider my views.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: HENRY ENGEN, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: JAMES WAY ANNEXATION (VILLAGE GLEN, TRACT 2265)
DATE: APRIL 27, 1999
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council:
(1 ) Adopt a resolution certifying that the Final Environmental Impact Report
prepared for General Plan Amendment 97-004, Development Code
Amendment 97-009, Vesting Tentative Map 2265, and Planned Development
97-56 has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act and the City of Arroyo Grande's CEQA Implementing Procedures;
and
(2) Adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 97-004, thereby
amending the General Plan Land Use Map and designating the property Rural
Residential; and
(3) Introduce for first reading an ordinance approving Development Code
Amendment No. 97-009, thereby amending the City's adopted Zoning Map
and pre-zoning the property Rural Residential (RR), preliminary to annexation
of the property. ,
FUNDING:
A Fiscal and Public Services Analysis for the project was performed by Crawford,
Multari & Clark Associates. The report, attached as Appendix E to the Final EIR, is
dated October 1, 1998. The report concluded that annexation as proposed would
provide modest fiscal benefits to the City.
The report noted that if development were to be constructed under County
jurisdiction, the City could expect to incur service costs in excess of revenues,
while the City would experience positive income if development were pursued
following annexation. The report estimated a positive fiscal impact of $140.00 per
residence per year if annexation occurred, and a loss of $179.00 per residence per
year if the development occurred under County jurisdiction.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed project involves the proposed annexation of an 86.3 acre area
located north of James Way in the vicinity of Mesquite Lane. The applicant
Staff Report: James Way Annexation
April 27, 1999
Page 2
requests, as part of the project, that the City (1) certify the environmental impact
report prepared for the project, (2) approve a General Plan amendment to amend
the Land Use Plan Map to designate the parcel Rural Residential, and (3) approve
an amendment to the Development Code to change the zoning of the parcel to
Rural Residential.
If the City Council takes the requested actions, the applicant could apply to the San
Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for amendment of
the City of Arroyo Grande's sphere of service and annexation of the parcel to the City
of Arroyo Grande. If LAFCO approves the annexation and amendment of the sphere
of service, this acreage will become part of the City.
The applicant has also filed applications for Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2265 and
Planned Unit Development 97-56. These applications, if approved, would establish
the manner in which approximately 64 acres of the annexation area would be
developed. These applications are not before the City Council for consideration at this
time because annexation must precede their consideration.
The Planning Commission considered the matter on March 30, 1999 and
recommended approval as follows:
. Res. 99-1689-Recommending Certification of EIR
Vote: 5-0
. Res. 99-169Q-Recommending Amending General Plan
Vote: 4-1 (Chair Greene dissenting)
. Res. 99-1691-Amending Development Code
Vote: 4-1 (Chair Greene dissenting)
During the Planning Commission hearing, discussion focused on several aspects of
the project. The Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting are attached as
AttachmentS. The following areas of discussion merit special comment:
Groundwater resources: Policy 8.1 of the General Plan, Land Use Element, includes
the following implementation action:
Permit new developments only where and when adequate water services can
be provided, and when the provision of adequate water service can be assured
by providing system-wide water improvements in advance of needs.
The applicant has proposed to offset the projected water demand for the project by
developing and dedicating a new water well for City use. The well is located off the
project site and is referred to in project documents as the MDeer Trail Well."
--_._-,-"...,.- ._.~
Staff Report: James Way Annexation
April 27, 1999
Page 3
The Deer Trail Well draws water from the Pismo aquifer, which is the same aquifer as
is currently accessed by the City's Oak Park Well. The Pismo aquifer in not subject to
the MGentlemen's Agreement" regarding use of the Arroyo Grande-Tri Cities Mesa
groundwater basin. While the applicant has submitted reports that support the
finding that the Deer Trail Well would produce water in. sufficient quantity to meet the
General Plan test, there are concerns regarding the quality of the water that would be
produced. The water quality of the Oak Park Well is such that wellhead treatment is
required, and it is expected that the same situation would apply to the Deer Trail
Well.
The Planning Commission questioned the estimate of cost regarding wellhead
treatment, and whether that would affect the decision of the City as to accepting the
proposed dedication.
The Planning Commission also questioned the proposed mitigation measures in the
Final EIR concerning the quantity of water that might be obtained from the Deer Trail
Well. The Final EIR noted that the output of the proposed well was not certain, and
that the well might have an impact on neighboring wells. The Final EIR proposed that
the well should be drilled, constructed, and tested as recommended in the report
submitted by the applicant's consultant prior to the issuance of a project grading
permit or final tract map approval. Long-term testing would be continued following
project approval.
The well testing program recommended in the EIR is summarized as follows:
1. Verifv the maximum well flow rate: Per mitigation E1, perform a flow test, a
step drawdown test, and a well recovery test to verify the well flow capacity
(To be performed prior to any grading permit or final tract map approval).
2. Verifv the net flow considering drawdown on other Citv wells: Per
mitigation E1, perform a test to verify the drawdown effect on the Los
Robles Del Mar and the Oak Park well. This test is a 30 day test and will be
used to determine whether the new well should be pumped at a lower rate to
avoid interference, and to determine the resulting effective net water supply
(To be performed prior to any grading permit or final tract map approval).
Staff recommends that this test also include monitoring of existing private
wells in the area.
3. Verifv water aualitv and anv needed treatment: Per mitigation E3, test for
water quality, with the applicant to provide treatment as required (To be
performed after the flow and drawdown tests, and prior to any grading
permit of final tract map approval).

Terrain: The proposed annexation area straddles a ridge, sloping
upward from James Way towards the north. There is a steep
slope on the eastside of the ridge, which combined with a
ridge from the north, forms a small canyon in the upper
middle of the property.
Vegetation: There are several yegetation types on the property. The site
has been grazed by cattle over many years, so that natiye
vegetation has been almost completely removed. The
present yegetation consists primarily of introduced annual
grasses and forbs.
There are also stands of mature coast five oaks, primarily
along the northern edge of the annexation boundary. There
are few young oaks, and most of the t.mderstory has been
replaced by introduced annual grasses. Two species of
lupine have been observed on the site, the blue lupine and
the tree lupine.

for General Plan Amendment 97-004, Development Code Amendment 97-009,
Vesting Tentative Map 2265, and Planned Development 97-56 has been
prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Ad and the
City of Arroyo Grande's CEQA Implementing Procedures; and
1) Approve General Plan Amendment No. 97-004, thereby amending the General
Plan Land Use Diagram and designating the property Rural Residential; and
2) Approve Development Code Amendment No. 97-009, thereby amending the
City's adopted Zoning Map and prezoning the property Rural Residential (RR),
preliminary to annexation the property.
If the Planning Commission takes other action, staff will return with the appropriate
resolutions for adoption by the Planning Commission.
FUTURE PROJECT ACTIONS
The Commission's ...view of this project will include two additional disaetionary actions,
neither of which is before the Planning Commission at this time:
. Approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2265 to create 58 residential lots, and 1 lot
of 32.17 acres in size. Lot 59 would include a designated building area of 1.93 acres,
with the remaining 30.24 acres in a designated open space easement.
. Approve Planned Unit Development 97-563 to allow clustering of the 58 residential
lots.
The applicant has submitted an application for approval of Tentative Tract Map
2265, which would include approximately 64 acres of the project site. However,
the applicant has recently revised the plans for Tentative Tract 2265, and has re-
submitted such plans to City. The most recent set of plans was received February
26, 1999. Several of these modifications resulted from comments received during
the Draft EIR Public hearing. Therefore, the Tentative Tract Map is not before the
Planning Commission for decision at this time.
The applicant is in the process of preparing and submitting a grading and drainage
plan, and elevations of the proposed residences required for the Planned
Development approval. When these materials have been received, review will be
scheduled before the Architectural Review Committee (ARC), and Staff Advisory
Committee (SAC). Once the recommendation of the ARC has been received, it
would be forwarded to the Planning Commission, and consideration of the
proposed tentative tract map would be scheduled before the Planning Commission.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISCRETIONARY ACTIONS
The applications before the Planning Commission at this time, if approved by the City
Council, would allow the applicant to pursue an application for annexation before the
San Luis Obispo County Local Agency formation Commission (LAFCO). LAFCO would
consider the application based, in part, on the Citys zoning of the project site as Rural
Residential (RR).
If the application for a tentative parcel map and planned unit development permit were
ultimately approved, they would control the development of the portion of the site
included in those applications. It is possible, however, that the City would eventually
deny these applications, or that the applicant would withdraw them. In that case,
assuming LAFCO approval of the annexation request, the project site would remain
zoned as Rural Residential. Any later proposal for subdivision would be required to
follow the application procedures for a tentative parcel or tract map.
BACKGROUND
Proiect descriDtion:
The proposed project includes a request for the City to annex 86.3 acres north of James
Way, and prezone the property Rural Residential (RR). This Would include an
amendment of the Land Use Diagram of the General Plan, designating the property
Rural Residential. This land use designation would allow a density of one residential
unit per gross area, consistent with the RR zoning.
Approval of the General Plan and Development Code amendments as requested, would
change the Land Use designation from Residential Suburban (County) to Rural
Residential, and rezone the property from Suburban Residential (minimum lot sizes 2.5
acres to 1.0 acre if on community water or sewer) to Rural Residential (density of one
residential unit per acre). In effect, the site is "pre-zoned" to advise the applicant and
others of the intended zoning to be applied by the City if annexation of the site occurs.
The revised tract map (Tract Map 2265) would subdivide approximately 64 acres of the
annexation area, creating 58 residential lots ranging from 14,214 square feet to 53,702
square feet in size; and creating a single lot containing a 1.93 acre building site, and a
30.24 acre open space easement (Lot 59). The Planned Unit Development request
would permit clustering of residences on lots below 40,000 square feet in size.
Access to the project is proposed at two locations on James Way. The circulation
system consists of a local street (36-feet paved in a SO-foot right-of-way) and two short
cul-de-sacs. The 11.25 acre parcel southwest of Tract 2265 could potentially link the
Rodeo Drive cul-de-sac to a street stub-out within the tract. Lot 59 would continue to
haye access from Canyon Way.

Proiect Location
The project site is located on the northern edge of Arroyo Grande outside the City limits
(see Map 1-Vicinity Map). Map 2-Annexation Area shows the site and surrounding
property pattern. To the north, large lot residential land uses are located on Printz Road.
To the east, in the City of Arroyo Grande, developed residential areas exist on Canyon
Way. To the south, single family residential developments occur along James Way. To
the west, large lot residential development exists on Easy Street, which is within the City
limits.
Annexation Area
The annexation area is approximately 86.3 acres in size (see Map 3-Annexation
Properties), and Tentatiye Tract 2265 comprises about 64 acres of the area. The
proposed annexation area includes Tentatiye Tract Map 2265 and five other parcels
under various ownership, as shown on Table P-1 below. There are six (6) existing
residences within the annexation area.
The City of Arroyo Grande SUITC!IiUI1ds the project area on three sides, and annexation of
the property would be cmnsistent with LAFCO policies requiring that annexations be
logical in character.

parcels could subdivide in the future into smaller lots down to one aae. Although the
proposed zoning would allow one aae lots, it is not clear that the three parcels in the
northeast corner of the annexation area (about 8 aaes) are suitable for subdivision into
one-aae lots due to topography, oak trees, the location of existing homes and
appurtenant driveways and improyements.
The parcels in the southwest comer of the annexation area totaling about 11.25 gross
aaes might feasibly be subdivided to about 11 lots. Therefore, those areas not in Tract
2265 would add five existing houses, and could add 10 to 17 potential new residences
to the City, subject to City approyal, if annexed.

PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
CECA Reyiew
The California Environmental Cuality Act sets forth-specific procedures for evaluating
and disclosing the environmental effects of proposed activities. The City has adopted
locallCimplementing procedures. to provide objectives, aiteria, and procedures for the
orderly evaluations of projects pursuant to the CECA Guidelines. Section 9 of the
City's Implementing Procedures sets forth the steps to be follbwed in preparing and
reviewing Environmental Impact Reports.
Planning Commission Staff Report
Re: VIllage Glen Annexation
March 30, 1999
Page 7 of 16
The "decision making body" for the project (in this case the City Council), must certify
that the CECA process has been completed, and that significant environmental impacts
created by the project have been mitigated where feasible, before approving the project.
The Planning Commission's role is to make a recommendation to the Council on the
adequacy of the environmental document in meeting the CECA requirements.
General Plan Amendments
Section 9-03.020 et seq., of the Development Code sets forth the procedural steps to be
followed in reviewing requests for a General Plan Amendment. The Planning
Commission must review such requests for consistency with the goals and objectives of
the General Plan, and must recommend by resolution to the City Council that the
proposed amendment be approved, approved in modified form, or disapproved. Specific
findings are provided to aid the Commission in making a recommendation to the
Council.
Amendments to Zonina Districts
Section 9-03.040 et seq., of the Deyelopment Code sets forth the procedural steps to
be followed in reviewing requests for amendments to Zoning Districts. The Planning
Commission must review such requests, and must recommend by resolution to the City
Council that the proposed amendment be approved, approved in modified form, or
disapproYed. The purpose of the Commission's recommendation is to ensure
consistency between the Development Code and the General Plan. SpecifIC findings
are proYided to aid the Commission in making a recommendation to the Council.
Annexation
Annexation is a term used to describe the attachment or addition of territory to a city or
special district. An annexation results in a change to a potitical boundary line between a
city and a county. Annexation may affect the level and responsibility for certain public
services being provided to residents, business owners, and property owners within the
affected territory.
In California, the annexation of territory to a city or district is governed by the State
Govemment Code. These state laws were established "to encourage orderly
community growth and deyelopment which is essential to the social, fiscal, and
economic well-being of the state".
These state laws also establish special boards to review and approve all annexation
proposals within each of Califomia's 58 counties. These special boards are called "local
agency formation commissions. or LAFCOs. In our county, the San Luis Obispo County
Local Agency Formation Commission must review and authorize all annexations.
In order for LAFCO to consider an amexation request, the Arroyo Grande City Council
must first approve the request. Typically, the property will be "prezonecJ" by the Council
before the annexation request is submitted to the County LAFCO by the applicant.
Prezoning identifies the zoning district that will be applied to each property, if the
territory is ultimately annexed to Arroyo Grande. The Planning Commission's affirmatiye

(or negative) recommendation in regards to the General Plan Amendment and
Prezoning request, serves as the Commissions recommendation.
GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY
The General Plan for the City of Arroyo Grande contains provisions that relate to
annexations and extensions of City services. The following policy and implementation
actions concern the findings that must be made in connection with such a request:
10.1 Permit the annexation of unincorporated areas within the General Plan
study area when consistent with the general plan in limited circumstance..
Implementation Actions:
a. Require all of the following finding. to be made prior to permitting
annexations:
. The proposed annexation will not Impact the amount of water resources
available e/sewhero within the City.
The total projected water. demand for the proposed project is estimated at 53 acre-feet
per year (afy). This corresponds to a well output of 33.2 gallons per minute (gpm). (EIR
p. IV-E5). The EIR concluded that the minimum well capacity that should be shown to
serve the proposed development is 45 to 50 gpm.
The applicant has proposed supplying water for the project by the construction of a new
water supply well, located approximately one mile west of the project. The new well,
located at the intersection of Deer Trail Circle and Equestrian Way. (the "Deer Trail
weln, would be dedicated to the City by the applicant. The City would be responsible
for serving the project following amexation, with the installation of water meters.
The Deer Trail well would extract water from a deep aquifer zone in the Pismo
Foundation. The Deer Trail well would draw from a different aquifer than that over which
the project is located.
Cleath & Associates tested the Deer Trail welf site, and a report submitted dated Juty 3,
1998. The Cleath report concluded that the Deer Trail well would be capable of
producing a continuous discharge of 100 gpm. The EIR took outp"" from the City's Oak
Park well into account, and concluded that production from the Deer Trail well could be
half of that forecast by Cleath. This quantity would be sufficient to satisfy output
requirements for the well. Cleath concluded that the aquifer is not in a state of overdraft.
(Cleath, p. 5)
The water quality of the Deer Trail well is unknown. Based on the water quality of the
City's Oak Park well, which taps the same aquifer, it is likely that the water will contain
elevated concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, manganese, and iron. Water quality testing
would be required if the well were brought on line and proposed for use in the City's
Planning Commission Staff Report
Re: Village Glen Annexation

Page 9 of 16
water supply. Presence of the above mineral, or certain other constituents, would
require treatment at the well head prior to use.
The Final EIR discusses groundwater resO\Kces on pages IV-E1 to IV-E11. The EIR
proposed mitigation measures to respond to environmental impacts concerning
groundwater withdrawal, well interference, and water quality. The EIR concluded that
with incorporation eX the mitigation measures, residual impacts would be reduced to less
than significant levels.
Even though the EIR reached this conclusion, the City must determine whether the
applicant's manner of satisfying the project demand for water is consistent with City
policy. The EIR noted:
The City must make a policy decision regarding the feasibility of incorporating
and operating [a} low-producing water wen with water requiring wellhead
treatment into the municipal water supply system. Typically, wells that produce
the volume of water expected from the Deer Trail well are significantly more
expensive to maintain and operate than larger production wells located closer to
the main supply grid. This issue becomes particularly relevant because the Deer
Trail well will likely require wellhead treatment, and because it will interfere, albeit
in a relatively minor fashion, with operation of the existing Oak Park well.
Although the new well is expected to provide the City with a quantity of water at
least equal to the volume of the project demand, the new well will not necessarily
improve the City's water supply capability, except for creating redundancy in the
system by essentially creating a backup well for the Oak Park well. (EIR p. IV-E8)
To address issues of timing, quality, and. quality, specific mitigation measures have
been included in the EIR and will be made conditions of approyal for any subdivision
approyals. The issue of operational costs to maintain and operate the well are policy
issues requiring a determination by the City Council. Alternative measures that provide
equal mitigation. could also be approved by the City before acceptance of the Deer
Creek Well.
. Clear compatibility exists with the community's basic Identity as a Nra/,
small town community; the goals and desires of the people and the City of Arroyo
Grande as a whole; and with the community's existing available resources.
James Way serves as one of the main thoroughfares for residential ~opments in the
foothills surrounding the City. The annexation proposal would incorporate into the
community one of the few remaining County parcels having frontage on James Way.
Upon annexation the project area would be zoned consistent with the City's Rural
Residential District which establishes development standards consistent with the
Community's basic identity as 8 rural residential area. This designation is also
consistent with the land use and zoning designations of adjacent properties.

The applicant has applied for approval of a tentative tract map for the parcel. Although
the map is not before the Planning Commission for consideration at this time, the tract
map would provide guidance concerning the character and extent of future residential
development on the site.
Annexation would provide the City with land use authority over development of the
parcel. Incorporating the parce' into the City would also provide the City with an income
stream from the property, in the form of rea' property taxes and other assessments, that
would not be present if the property were developed as an unincorporated area. The
extent to which income offsets the cost of providing services is analyzed in the fiscal
impact study.
Annexation and development of the parcel would be consistent with previous
development activity in the James Way vicinity. The City, through conditions imposed
on the tentative tract map approval, could control to some extent, the character, extent,
and intensity of development on the site. This would be consistent with the desire of
community residents to have a significant role in plaming for the future of the
community.
. The proposed annexation /s consistent with goals and obJecUvea of the
General Plan, particularly In regard to protect/on of agricultural and open space
lands.
The project site is within the county-designated urban reserve Rne (URL) for the City of
Arroyo Grande. This is analogous to the sphere of influence, because it identifies the
area for future urban and suburban growth within the next twenty years. Framework for
Planning, which is Part I of the Countys Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element,
contains public service policies for maintaining a distinction between rural and urban
development by requiring extension of urban services to areas within the URL, and
restricting the extension of such services beyond the URL.
The primary purpose of the policies in the County's Comprehensive Plan is to enhance
the pattern of identifiable communities and to discourage premature intensive
development in areas without infrastructure required to serve such development.
Related to these policies is the general goal of encouraging. the phasing of urban
development, first using vacant or underutilized parcels as "in-fill- parcels and other
properties adjacent to existing development.
San Luis Obispo County Department of Planning and Building has advised LAFCO, by
memorandum dated August 27, 1995, that it views the annexation of the project site
favorably. The memorandum (Attachment 7), comments on the various urban services
that could be provided to the site if annexation were to occur, and that would otherwise
be proYided either on an indiYidual basis (e.g. septic systems, water wells) or occur in a
less carefully planned manner (e.g. drainage).

Tract Map 2265 proposes clustering of residential lots within the annexation area for the
purpose of preserving large areas of open space and reducing development impacts.
This design would be consistent with General Plan Land Use Objectives and Policies
2.1 a., -e., -g, 6.3 e., -g; 7.1 d.;
. Significant benefits will be derived by the City upon annexation.
The fiscal impact analysis conducted by Crawford, Multari & Clark has examined and
analyzed the costs and benefits of the annexation proposal consistent with the
guidelines established by the City. The analysis, dated October 1, 1998, is attached to
the Final EIR as Appendix E. The report updated a previous report for the same site
conducted in August, 1996.
The fiscal report concluded:
Uke the analysis two years ago, this update suggests that the proposed
annexation wiD provide modest fiscal benefits to the City of Arroyo Grande. If the
development were [to] be constructed under County jurisdiction, the City could
expect to incur service costs in excess of revenues. (Fiscal report, pages 3-4)
The report concluded that net revenue per residential unit with annexation would be
$140.00 per year; if the property were developed in County jurisdiction, the net loss per
residential unit would be $179.00 per year.
. Adequate infrastructure and services have been or can be economically
provided in accordance with current City standards.
The applications before the Planning Commission for consideration at this time include
only the General Plan Amendment and Development Code amendment. These actions,
by themselves, would have no fiscal impact on the City, and would require no additional
infrastructure or services not already provided to the project directly (roads), or indirectly
through mutual aid agreements for police and fire services.
As previously stated, the project area is surrounded on three sides by the City limits. In
addition, the City provides service to this area under current mutual aid agreements. As
identified in the Fiscal Analysis for the project, revenues collected from the proposed
tract will exceed service costs provided under current city standards. (See table - Fiscal
Impact Summary, pg. 4)
If approved, these applications would enable the applicant to seek annexation through
the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation Commission. The applicant is pursuing an
application for Tentative Tract 2265, and a planned unit development designation,
projects that would have a demonstrable impact on infrastructure and services.
Mitigation measures and conditions of approval for development of the property, will
require that development costs and ongoing services will be funded by the project
applicants or future residents.

In discussing the findings required by the General Plan, staff has evaluated not only the
annexation request itself, but the proposal put forth by the applicant concerning the
likely development of the site. The project analyzed in the EIR and fiscal impact study
included 63 residential lots, and one lot subject to an open space easement.
Fire: The City maintains a fire department consisting of forty volunteers and a full-time,
paid fire chief. The fiscal impact report noted that insuring an adequate level of
response is sometimes difficult with a volunteer-based department. Average response
times in the City are approximately 12.6 minutes for fire, and eight (8) minutes for
medical emergencies. The project site is, and will be, accessible via established and
improved roadways, and response times would be similar to the established standards.
The City has not adopted standards for staffing and response times for ftre protection.
Nor has the City adopted impact fees to cover the cost of additional facilities that might
be needed due to development. The City conducts an annual review as part cI the City
Council's budget process. This procedure would be used to determine the requirements
for additional staffing and facilities that might be needed to serve the proposed project
as well as other areas of the community.
Police: The City Police Department is currently staffed with 23 full-time sworn
personnel, 16 of which are in uniformed service. The department also employs 8
auxiliary officers who work part-time.
As with the Fire Department, the City has not adopted standards for staffing and
response times for police protection services. Nor has the City adopted impact fees to
cover the cost of additional capital facilities that might be needed due to development.
The City conducts an annual review as part of the City Council's budget process. This
procedure would be used to determine the requirements for additional staffing and
facilities that might be needed to serve the proposed project as well as other areas of
the community.
Solid waste: Solid waste collection and disposal is provided to the project site by South
County Sanitary Service, Inc. Solid waste is hauled to one of the several landfills
located in San Luis Obispo County. Cold Canyon Landfill serves the City and is located
approximately nine miles southeast on Highway 227. The landfill has a remaining
capacity of approximately twenty years.
San Luis Obispo County and City of Arroyo Grande have prepared a long-term waste
management plan that contains goals for waste reduction and recycling. Development
within the amexation area would be subject to all requirements contained within the
plan including mandatory recycling and greenwaste collection. The EIR prepared for the
project concluded that there is adequate capacity for solid waste disposal to
accommodate the proposed project.
PlannIng COmmission Staff Report
Re: Village Glen Annexation
March 30, 1999

Wastewater: The project area lies within the boundaries of the San Luis Obispo County
Sanitation District. The District operates a wastewater treatment plant in the community
of Oceano that serves Arroyo Grande and surrounding communities. The treatment
plant, which is licensed to treat 5.0 million gallons of effluent per day, is projected to
meet the demand for sewer service within the District through the year 2015.
The EIR and fiscal study analyzed the projected demand for sanitary sewer service from
the proposed project, and noted that the project demand of 16,589 gallons per day
would constitute approximately 0.75% of the remaining capacity of the treatment plant.
The study concluded that there is adequate wastewater treatment plant capacity to
accommodate the project buildout.
Schools: The project lies within the Lucia Mar Unified School District. The District
provides primary and secondary education in southern San Luis Obispo County.
The District is currently charging an impact fee for new residential construction. The
District has reached agreement with the applicant regarding the impact fees to be
charged, and has indicated that the District is satisfied that impacts of the proposed
project on the school system have been fully mitigated. The School District is the
"Responsible and Trustee Agency" designated by CEaA with the authority to determine
the adequacy of nNtigation measures required to address the impacts created by the
project.
Parks: The City maintains and operates a system of parks, and atso operates recreation
facilities and programs. The City Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan
seeks to establish and maintain a ratio of four acres of deyeloped parkland per 1,000
population. To achieve this objective, the City employs provisions of the Subdivision
Map Act that allow local governments to require the dedication of land, and/or the
payment of money in the form of in-lieu fees. The City has adopted an implementing
ordinance, and assesses and collects such fees.
CoRection of the in-lieu fee is considered sufficient to offset the additional demand for
parks that would result from project buildout.
Traffic: The project analyzed in the EIR and traffic study conducted in connection with
the project included 63 single-family residences. The applicant has since reduced the
number of lots in the subdivision. The analysis here is based on the project reviewed in
the EIR.
The traffic study analyzed the impact of project traffic on the following intersections:
. Brisco RoadfW. Branch Street/U.S. Highway 101 Northbound ramps
. East Branch StreetfTraffic Way
. East Branch StreetlWest Branch Street/Grand Avenue
. Grand AvenuelU.S. Highway 101 interchange (2 locations)

. Rodeo Drive between James Way and the intersection of the proposed
Grace Lane extension.
The traffic study first reviewed the yolume of traffic that would be generated by the
project, and the distribution of that traffic on area streets. Based on trip generation rates
contained in the ITE Trip Generation reference (6th Edition, 1997), the study concluded
that the project would generate 602 new daily trips, with 64 p.m. peak hour trips.
Distribution of these trips to area streets was based on existing traffic patterns, location
of employment and shopping destinations, and the consultant's knowledge of travel
patterns in the City.
Once project-generated trips were distributed to area streets, the traffic study calculated
the intersection levels of service that resulted, compared to existing service levels. The
City's minimum leyel of service standard is LOS C, with LOS 0 acceptable on a short-
term basis proYided there is an improyement identified that will proYide a minimum LOS
C when the improvement is completed. The study concluded that levels of service on
the study area intersections for existing plus project traffic were at LOS C or aooye. See

The report concluded that baseUne trips could add 32,547 daily trips, and 2,999 p.m.
peak-hour trips to the road network within the City. These trips were then added to the
existing trips. All intersections remained at LOS C or better, with the exception of Brisco
Road/U.S. 101 northbound ramps, which would operate at LOS D. (See Table 1, below,
Column (3). The EIR noted that the City was completing a study of traffic improvements
at this intersection, and that any of the three identified alternatives would improye the
level of service at this intersection to LOS C or better.
The traffic study next analyzed baseline plus project traffIC at study area intersections.
The addition of the project traffic to baseUne traffic did not change any of the levels of
service calculated for the baseline alone. See Table 1, below, Column (4).
The addition of daily traffic from the project was not expected to significantfy change any
roadway level of service on a City roadway.
Rodeo Drive
During the pubUc comment period on the Draft EIR, issues were raised in regards to the
impact of the annexation (specifically deyelopment of Tract 2265) on Rodeo Drive.
These issued are addressed in Response to Comment 15.1 of the final EIR.
The EIR concluded that the project would not have a significant impact on study area
intersections, based on the threshold of significance utilized by the City.
. The proposed annexation will generate sufficient revenues to adequately
pay for the provision of City services.
One of the purposes of the fiscal impact study was to determine whether the revenue
from the proposed project would be sufficient to pay for City services to be provided.
The study used an average cost approach to estimate public service costs for the
proposed project. This process evaluates the cost of providing the service (e.g. a
department's annuat budget) and the extent to which the service is directed toward
residential uses, as opposed to commercial or industrial (e.g., percentage of police calls
to residences).
In addition, the fiscal study also evaluated the impact of providing services to persons
not residing in the City. For example, if the project were not approved, and project
deyelopment occurred in the unincorporated area, those residing in the development
would be expected to use City parks and other services. Thus, the City would incur a
cost without receiving a source of revenue (e.g., real property taxes) to offset such cost.
Having evaluated such factors, the fiscal study concluded that the proposed annexation
and development with residential uses as proposed would provide modest fiscal
benefits to the City. The study also concluded that if the project were constructed under
County jurisdiction, the City could expect to incur costs in excess of revenues.

Recommendation:
It is recommended that this annexation be approved because it is consistent with
adopted county general plan policies and because the city is in the best position to
provide the needed level of services for existing and expanded development of the site.
Staff Advisorv Committee:
The Staff Advisory Committee considered the annexation request and proposal for
Tentative Tract 2265 on December 8, 1998. Comments were received primarily
concerning proposed Tract 2265, and the Parks department indicated an oak tree
protection plan would be required. Minutes of the meeting are attached (Attachment 8.)
Architectural Advisorv Committee:
The ARC has not reviewed the project. The applicant has not produced elevations for
the residences proposed for the site. In the absence of elevations, and given the review
for aesthetic issues conducted during the EIR process, review by the ARC will await the
submittal of more specific development plans.

and 1990 by the two areas ("annual %" is the annual population increase
that occurred yearly between 1980 and 1990):
ARROYO GRANDE 10,674 14,215 3,541 3%
SAN LUIS BAY 31;603 43,881 12,278 4%
Using estimates from the June, 1995 population projections, the recent growth in
the two areas that has occurred since 1990'is summarized in the following table:

f. Present Land Use Designation in County Land Use Element: The site is
designated Residential Suburban. There are no Combining Designations on. the
site.
.
g. Existing land use(s) in subject territory: The site has historically been larger
lot (2.5 to 20 acre) homesites. It is made up of nine parcels, seven being
developed with single family residences.
h. Subject territory's relationship to Planning Lines (URL, USL, Coastal Zone,
Etc.): The site is within the San Luis Bay (Inland) planning area of the Land Use
Element of the general plan. The site is within the Arroyo Grande Urban
Reserve Line (URL) but outside of the Urban Services Line (USL) designated in
the county general plan. The URL is coterminous in this area with the Arroyo
Grande City Limits. The site is also within the city's Sphere of Influence

The Land Use Element of the City of Arroyo Grande's general plan includes the
site in their Planning Impact Area (pIA). The PIA indicates the maximum
potential growth area for the city in the foreseeable future or areas where the
development pattern would have an immediate impact upon the city. Being with
the city's PIA does not represent a commitment on the part of the city to annex
the areas it contains. The city does not currently have the site designa.ted in their
general plan. The site will have to go through the city's pre-zoning process.
i. Planning Area Standards pertaining to the subject property: There are
standards that apply to the subject property. The standards. apply to all areas
within the Arroyo Grande Fringe. The standards read as follows:
l. Limitation on Use. Uses identified in Table 0, Part I of the Land Use
Element as "A" or "S" uses may be permitted except nursing and personal
care; and correctional institutions.
2. Specialized Animal Facilities. Land use permit ,applications . for
speciali.zed animal facilities hall address and mitigate. any identified
impacts of erosion and downstream sedimentation that would be caused by
the establishment of the facilities.
3. New Land Divisions. Prior to acceptance of any application for land
division as complete, the . applicant shall provide information to
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building,
in consultation . with, the Director of Environmental Health and the
Environmental Coordinator that: (1) adequate groundwater resources are
available to serve the proposed land division and (2) each proposed parcel
can accommodate an individual sewage disposal system. The results of
this information shall be incorporated into the design and proposed density
of the land division.
j. Land Use Designation and existing uses of adjacent parcels:
North: scattered residential single family dwellings designated Residential
Suburban.
South: scattered residential single family dwellings on l~ger lot rural land
within the Arroyo Grande city limits.
East: residential single family dwellings within the Arroyo Grande city.
limits.
..;i
West: scattered residential single family dwellings on larger lot rural land
within the Arroyo Grande city limits.
k. Subdivision and building activity in the area: Recent. activity consists of the
continuing subdivision of the unincorporated Arroyo Grande Fringe into parcel
sizes consistent with the zoning, and the on-going development of the Rancho
Grande, Royal Oaks and Tally Ho neighborhoods within the city.

1. Miscellaneous infonnation concerning the subject property or area:
RMS Information: The 1994 Annual Resource Summary Report for the
~esource Management System (RMS) of the county Land Use. Element indicates
the status of key resources and service capacitates. in unincozporated areas. . For
the greater area containing the site, the 1994 report identifies recommended levels
of severity of level m for Arroyo Grande's elementary schools and high schools
and level n for middle schools.
County general plan policies: The site is within the county-designated urban
reserve line (URL), for the city of Arroyo Grande. this is analogous to the
sphere of influence because it indicates the area for additional urban and suburban
growth within a 20 year timeframe. Framework for Planning, Part I of the LUE,
contains public service policies for maintaining a distinction between rural and
urban development by directing the extension of urban services to areas within
urban and village reserve lines and restricting such services form being "proyided
outside those lines (chapter 4). The purposes of these policies for maintaining a
clear distinction between rural and urban development are to enhance thepattem
of identifiable communities and to discourage premature intensive development
in areas without all needed services .being available. Related. to these policies is
a general goal in framework for encouraging the phasing of urban development
in a compact manner, first using vacant or underutilized "infill" parcels and lands
next to existing development.
-
2" a. Planning Department comments and recommendations:
Comments: The applicant is requesting annexation to the City of Arroyo Grande
and the South County Sanitation District. The application submitted for this
proposed annexation indicates "that the applicant is initiating the request for the
following reasons:
1. It is within the city's sphere of influence and the county's URL.
2. The "area is surrounded on three sides by the city limits and so any
development of the property will impact directly on city residents adjacent
to the property. Furthermore, the annexation could be viewed as a filling
in of the ~ity boundaries.
3. The city can provide urban level services to the site, some of which are
already provided by the city, including water, sewer, police and fire.
4. The vacant portions of the site shou:ld be developed consistent with the
city's general plan because access to the site is through the city, via James
Way and Canyon Way.
5. Groundwater is available on the property and a recently completed weI~
would be made available to the city's system in order to supplement
existing well supplies.

LAFCo Refertal
AuguSt 27, 1995
Pag~ S .~
6. Community sewer systems are a preferable sewage disposal method over
individual septic tanks. A sewer system is available through the city,
however, development in the county would use individual septic systems.
7. If the property were developed within the county, traffic fees would be
collected by the county. If the property were developed within the city,
traffic fees would be collected by the city where the majority of the traffic
impacts would occur from development.
8. The area is within the city's watershed, and drains either to Canyon Way
or James Way, both of which are in the city. With proper engineering,
the property could be developed in such a waythaLcurrent'.peakflows
down Canyon Way are retained on-site and all impacts mitigated.
9. The city's Parks and Recreation Element shows a trail extending into the
property. Development of the property in the city would allow for Ute
acquisition of the trail by the city.
Annexation of the site s9 that the full range of community services can be
provided by the city is consistent with county general plan policies >onpublic
services. This is becaus~ th site is within the Arroyo Grande URLand designated
Residential Suburban which a1lows parcel sizes as small as 1 acre dependent on
urban services. Also, the orientation of the site being surrounded on three sides
by the existing city limits would make it a logical extension of the city limits
consistent with the policies on promoting in-fill and compact development.
Recommendation: It is recommended that this annexation be approved because
it is consistent with adopted county general plan policies and because the city is
in the best position to provide the needed level of services for existing and
expanded development of the site.

Answers to Some Common Questions
About Annexation to the City of
Arroyo Grande
Prepared by the City of Arroyo Grande
Community Development Department
April, 1999
ANNEXATION
Answers to Common Questions
About Annexation to the City of Arroyo Grande
What is "annexation"?
Annexation is a term used to describe the attachment or addition of territory to a city or special district.
An annexation results in a change to a political boundary line between a city and a county. Annexation
may affect the level and responsibility for certain public services being provided to residents, business
owners, and property owners within the affected territory.
In California, the annexation of territory to a city or district is governed by the State Government Code.
These state laws were established "to encourage orderly community growth and development which is
essential to the social, fiscal, and economic well-being of the state".
These state laws also establish special boards to review and approve all annexation proposals within each
of California's 58 counties. These special boards are called "local agency formation commissions" or
LAFCOs. In our county, the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission must review
. and authorize all annexations.
Why would Arroyo Grande agree to a request to annex territory?
Essentially, the motive is similar to the basic purpose of these state laws: to encourage and ensure that
Arroyo Grande's growth in all areas of our community will be orderly and well-planned, thereby enhancing
Arroyo Grande's social, fiscal, and economic well-being.
What is the benefit in annexing to the City of Arroyo Grande?
The motive or desire to annex to any city or district varies from individual to individual. Generally
speaking, when a property owner requests annexation it is motivated by a desire to obtain city services. In
most cases, services cannot be provided unless the property owner is within the city limits. To others a
benefit is the ability to vote in local elections, run for local office, and have a greater voice in the local
land use decisions about property surrounding their land. Annexation and availability of city utility services
may also increase the value of existing-developed properties by increasing their future development
potential. While some property owners may have no desire to develop their property further, the
availability of urban services is still generally a benefit. These services, when and if they are desired, give
a property owner greater options on how his or her land may be used in the future.
Some owners of existing businesses or residences may also be motivated by the increased safety and
shortened response time from emergency service personnel including police and fire fighters available from
an adjacent city, versus a rural volunteer fire company or a county law enforcement agency. Many
property owners may find their fire insurance rates drop as their property is annexed to a city with an
enhanced insurance rating factor as determined by the Insurance Service Offices (ISO), a national rating
company. [Arroyo Grande residents enjoy a Class 5 ISO insurance rating]
Why is my property included in the territory proposed for annexation?
Your DroDertv is not beina sinaled out for annexation! State Law requires that any annexation proposal be
"logical" in its arrangement. In other words, if your property is situated next to other property proposed
for annexation, it may be logical to include your property in that annexation application. Annexation
proposals must make sense by allowing for an efficient and cost effective method of providing local
government services. State law does not allow for "leap frog" development or the skipping of certain
properties in order to respond to individual requests. Instead, it says that proposals should include
contiguous lots or properties that create a logical territory of land that provide for an efficient plan of
service delivery.
What will happen to my property if it is annexed into the City of Arroyo Grande?
Most people find little effect on the day-to-day activities occurring on their property following annexation
to a city. Essentially, the existing activities and uses taking place on your land when it is annexed stay
the same and are allowed to continue until YOU decide to make a change. You are protected by provisions
within the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, which allow you to continue existing uses, even if other
properties around yours change and develop. In other ways, annexation will result in important changes in
regards to the responsibility of the City to respond to emergency police and fire suppression service calls
you may someday have to make.
Will I be required to connect to city utilities if my property is annexed?
The answer is NO. Annexation to the city does not require forced connection to any city utilities that may
be installed in your area. That choice is left to each individual Drocerty owner. The use of any existing
private water wells and private septic disposal systems continues with no restrictions, subject to
compliance with normal health and safety laws. If a private system fails sometime 'in the future, and city
utilities are available, you may be required to connect at that time. Given the cost of installing a new well
or septic system, this often provides a beneficial option to the property owner.
Like all cities in California, the City of Arroyo Grande does have mandatory refuse collection, which may
affect your existing garbage collection rate.
Won't my taxes increase if my property is annexed?
Generally No. There are no special city taxes associated with annexations. In the state of California, the
local property tax is set by the State Constitution at the rate of one percent. (1 %) of the assessed
valuation of your property [a result of Proposition 13]. Your property tax rate is not affected by a "change
in territory or boundaries" and, by law, cannot be reassessed solely because of annexation. Once your
property is in the City, you will be subject to any future bonded indebtedness that the citizens of the
community choose to place on themselves. Reassessments, or changes to your property tax, are generally
allowed only upon the sale or development of the property. This would apply whether or not the property
is in the city.
Can I keep my farm animals?
The answer is YES. If you have a use of land or activity that is leaally in existence at the time of
annexation, it may continue following annexation. This continuation of all existing uses and activities is
allowed regardless of the zoning of your property or properties adjoining yours. However, after the
property has been annexed to the City, any non-conforming use that undergoes a substantial change in
character or intensity may be required to meet current city laws. If you cease the use of the property for
the keeping of farm animals for a period of time which exceeds 180 days, and the property is not zoned
for agricultural uses, you may loose this right.
What does the City gain by annexation?
The City gains a more cohesive, well-planned community with the ability to provide city services with
increased efficiency to those who desire them. We want to make sure utility service extensions and
future improvements take place in a cost-effective and timely manner. Emergency service personnel will
be able to respond readily without having to worry about inter-jurisdictional problems or liability, thereby
increasing the community's level of security and safety.
What happens once the annexation process starts?
In order for LAFCO to consider an annexation request, the Arroyo Grande City Council must first approve
the request. Typically, the property will be "prezoned'" by the Council before the annexation request is
submitted to the County LAFCO. Prezoning identifies the zoning district that will be applied to each
property, if the territory is ultimately annexed to Arroyo Grande.
You will be noticed of all public hearings concerning annexation requests. We encourage you to attend
these hearings.
SUMMARY
This information has been prepared in hopes that it will answer questions you may have regarding
"annexation, '" and how you and your property may be affected. Members of City staff would be pleased
to answer further questions and provide any information we can concerning this process. Just give us a
call.
You are encouraged to contact city staff at City Hall to inquire further or receive more information. Please

CITIZEN CORRESPONDENCE
RECEIVED IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE
PLANNING COMMISSION
March 25,1999 City of Arrcyo Crande
eomrnunlty Deve'opment Dept.
Mr. Jim Hamilton, AICP MAR 2 5 1999
Director of Community Development
P. O. Box 550
Arroyo Grande, CA 93421
Dear Mr. Hamilton: from William E. Daniel, 741 Printz Road
In regard to the proposed James Way Annexation (Village Glen Annexation),
Tract 2265. I have looked at the new proposed site plan as shown on their map dated
February 25,1999. I feel they have taken some steps to overcome my objections to their
development as they originally proposed it, but I would like to see the developer change
their new proposed plot plan to encompass the following.
Combine lots nwnber 40 and 41, creating a lot of 1.06 ac in size.
Combine lots nwnber 42, 43, 44 and 45, and realign the proposed property line between
lots 43 and 44 creating two lots, one of 1.00 ac and one of .88 ac.
Combine lots 46 and 47, creating a lot of .81 ac.
Combine lots 48, 49 and 50, and realign the proposed property line between lots 49 and
50 creating two lots, one of 1.00 ac and one of.45 ac.
This results in a loss of 5 lots, leaving a total of 54 lots for the project. Two additional
lots could be obtained by reintroducing the two lots that were removed between lots 1
and 58. This would provide the developer with 56 lots. While this does not create lots of
1.00 ac in size, which I would like to see, I feel that it might be a solution and more in
keeping with the general plan. Another benefit would be the reduced impact on our
overcrowded schools due to fewer families living in the area and less need of additional
facilities to service these new families.
Eliminate the fire access road easement through lots 43 and 44 and a portion oflot 42.
This proposed access road is totally impractical due to the location of the two homes on
Easy Street that abut the development. Create a new fire access road easement through
lots 36 and 37, to be accessed from Rodeo Drive, as noted on the tract map as "possible
future road alignment". .
Please keep in mind the restriction of tree removal to preserve the oaks that are in the
proposed development, as has been done in the "Rancho Grande" and "Highlands"
development. Also the eucalyptus trees that are in the proposed development offer
refuge and nesting sites for a family of hawks that need our protection.
I assume that the cost of any water treatment for the development would be borne by the
taxpayers. Could we possibly get a little help trom the developers for these costs?
Would it be possible to look into the Grace Way extension as a means of reducing the
traffic impact on Rodeo Drive, and can we possibly obtain some help for the costs for
this extension from the developers.
Now with all these suggestions, here is a little "pat on the back" for all the members of
the Planning Commission for the careful planning that has been done on Rancho Grande
and The Highlands. These two developments are in keeping with the surrounding areas
and are a credit to the community. Thank you.
.
Respectfully yours,
~r~

Dear Arroyo Planning Commission: Sandy Luben
Del Haney
Nanci Parker
Laurence Green
John Keen
Weare writing to make known our feelings concerning the Vtllage Glen development.
We would like to see the project begin as soon as possible. We have lived in Arroyo
Grande for over 18 years and have been fervently searching to no avail for a new residence
since last October when we sold our home.
There is ~ definate shortage of new quality construction in Arroyo Grande. This
situation has caused home prices in this area to become over inflated. We would love to
stay in Arroyo Grande for the children's stability in school and with mends. but we're now
considering A vila and San Luis.
We attended the Jan. 5th meeting and it appeared the public was misinformed on certain
aspects of the project. For example, someone referred to the project as low cost housing.
Our price range is $375,000 - $390,000 and Village Glen meets aJlthe criteria we are
desperately searching for.
I hope the Comission realizes sooner or later this land will be developed. It seems it
would be in the best interest of the area that nice homes with curb appeal and care to
elevation be put in instead of cracker box rubber stamp houses like the Higftbmds.
Water and traffic was a concern at the meeting. I was infonned a new street between
Rodeo and Rancho Parkway would eleviate some of the traffic. Why is treatment of water
a concern and a burden on taxpayers? What happens when other developments are
approved.
About 12 years ago we purchased a lot in SLO to build our dream home. The building
moratorium was enacted shortly thereafter, and we were never able to build on this lot
because it was considered.to be in a sensitive resource area. We just sold the lot at 1/3 of
what we paid and the County Planning and Building Dept. (not the same people who held
the job when we purchased) have done away with all restrictions on the lot and a new
house is going up. The Commission needs to consider that growth is inevitable and rather
than delay the process which may hurt some people, please exercise common sense when
making decisions concerning peoples futures and homes. Consider Rancho Grande, the
project is on its third developers; Richardson and Shelter. In the p~ building sites were
held up forever, and that's the reason we purchased the lot in San Luis. Past rancho
Grande developers fought endless city restrictions such as preserving oaks, but look at the
current desecration of land on James Way and Rancho Parkway, even after all the delays
and wasted time.

City of AIroyo Grande Planning Commission

AIroyo Grande, CA 93420
Subject: Village Glen Annexation ErR.
Dear Commissioners:
On January 5,1999, the Planning Commission held a public meeting to discuss the Draft EIR for
the Village Glen Annexation. At that meeting, the Planning Commission and nine citizens
provided input on the EIR and the proposed project. After listening to the many constructive
comments, we have revised the tract map to address many of the concerns as follows:
Reduced the number of lots from 64 to 59
. This reduced the density by 9%.
. This reduced the traffic generated by 9%.
. Increased minimum lot size to 14,200 feet fi:om 11,700 square feet.
. Increased average lot size to about 20,000 square feet from 17,500 square feet.
. Eliminated 2 lots adjacent to James Way, which reduces the amount of buildings visible from
James Way.
. Eliminated 2 lots in the northwest comer of the project ~ which reduces tb.e density
adjacent to larger lots.
Shifted Street "A" towards the north creatine: deeper lots alone: James Wav
. This allows for more gentle slopes that will undulate creating a "natural" loolcing landfoID1.
. The homes will be setback further from James Way.
Created a 50 foot non-buildable easement adiacent to .James Wav
. This will guarantee a minimum setback for all future buildings, including accessory
buildings.
Increased lot sizes adiacent to Easv Street
. The average lot width has been increased to 149 feet fi:om 119 feet for lots 42, 44-46 adjacent
to the two Easy Street residences which creates more space between homes and a more rural .
atmosphere.
. The average lot size of the four lots adjacent to Easy Street is 20,800.
Eliminated offer of dedication at northern end of Road "A"

Clarified the intent of the Open Space area
. Lot 59 will have a deed restriction requiring that the lot cannot be further subdivided in
perpetuity, which will allow only one residence on the lot.
. A buildable area has been designated where future accessory structures could be coIIStrUcted.
. The remainder of Lot 59, or approximately 30 acres, will have an open space easemem
recorded prohibiting the constrUCtion of buildings, insuring that it will.remain undeveloped in
perpetuity.
We would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that are intent is to build large,
traditional style homes ranging in price from the low $300,000' s up to $500,000. There will be a
minimum of four models, each vlitb. several different architectural treatments to create interest.
The square footage of the homes is projected to be between 2,.200 and 3,500 square feet. We
also intend to generously landscape the area along James Way with native and drought tolerant
plants. Upon approval by the City Council of the General Plan Amendment, we will work on
submittal of the home designs and landscape plans.
We sincerely hope that the above revisions demonstrate that we are serious about a.ddtessing
concerns raised by the Planning Commission and citizens to date. If anyone has questions
regarding the revisions or would like to discuss the project, please do not hesitate toca1l me at
773-1080.

Director Jim Hamilton, Pfanning Consultant Tom Buford and Senior Consultant Engineer Craig
Campbell are also in attendance.

WRITTEN .COMMUNICA TIONS
1. Letter dated M~ch 29, 1999 from Eugene L. Nooker regarding the James Way
Annexation and EIR (Village Glen Annexation).
PUBLIC HEARING. JAMES WAY ANNEXA TIONNILLAGE GLEN ANNEXA TIONITRACT 2265;
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 97-004; DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 97-009;
APpliCANT: GARY YOUNG AND ASSOCIATES.
Chair Greene advised there are three issues pending before the Commission tonight. The first
issue pertains to the Environmental Impact Report, which has been prepared and circulated.
The action requested is relative to a request that the Planning Commission make a
recommendation to the City Council in regard to certification of the EIR. Other issues relate to
a request that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that they adopt in
whole or in part, Generat Plan Amendment 97-004 and Development Code Amendment 97-009.
He noted that these are separate yet related issues that will be discussed in sequence in order
to preserve some continuity in the discussions.
Planning Consultant Tom Buford reviewed in detail the staff report dated March 30, 1999. He
reviewed the applicant's request, which includes several actions. The Environmental Impact
Report was prepared in regard to the proposed annexation and the development of proposed
Tract 2265. Before the Planning Commission is a recommendation to the Council with regard
to certification of the EIR. The applicant has also requested General Plan Amendment 97-004
and Development Code Amendment 97-009, with the effect of pre-zoning the property. In
addition, matters not before the Commission tonight are recommendations with regard to
vesting Tentative Map Tract 2265 and Planned Unit Development 97-56, which are subdivisions
of approximately 64 acres of the site that would create residential lots and one open space lot.
The Planned Unit Development is for the purpose of allowing clustering of the homes and, in
effect, creating lots less than one acre in size.
Mr. Buford explained that part of what the Commission is dealing with this evening has to do
with the annexation process, noting that when property is outside of the City it is not the City's
prerogative to actually take action on the annexation. That is the role of the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCo) for San Luis Obispo County and, in this case, they would be
called upon by the applicant (assuming favorable action by the City) to modify the sphere of
service and to annex the property. Bringing the property into the City allows the City to
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 2 of 19
provide water, sewer and other services to the site. He pointed out that the City's actions at
this point in time, basically, involve pre-zoning and the General Plan Amendment, and the
LAFCo action. The applicant is asking the City to indicate its intention to zone the 86.3 acre
annexation area in a particular way because the applicant is proposing subdivision of the
property, which depends upon receiving a particular zoning once that property is brought into
the City. The LAFCo action would basically be approval of the annexation and, following that
action, the applicant would be proposing a vesting tentative tract map which would call for
actual development of the parcel. At the time the tentative tract map is brought forward for
action before the Planning Commission and City Council, appropriate conditions of approval
would be required.
Mr. Buford commented that the Environmental Impact Report included each of the actions that
was requested by the applicant, and if the Planning Commission recommends certification of
the EIR and the City Council certifies the EIR, the conclusion then would be that the EIR
produced information that was accurate and sufficient to advise the decision making body as
to the environmental impact of the proposed project, which includes tentative tract map 2265.
He noted that tentative tract 2265 has been revised due largely to discussions the applicant
has had with staff, the Staff Advisory Committee and the environmental hearings. It is also
conceivable that tract 2265 may never be developed as proposed even if it were eventually
adopted by the City Council. However, it is a guide at this point as to the applicant's stated
intentions with regard to that portion of the property.
With regard to earlier discussions regarding a possible Printz Road access, Mr. Buford stated
as far as he knows only negative comments have been received about that possibility and the
applicant is not interested in pursuing any proposal for Printz Road access into Tract 2265. He
noted that there is a proposed access area through lot 44 for fire safety purposes that is
included as a result of a request and recommendation by the Fire Department. Mr. Buford
mentioned a couple of issue areas, commenting that there has been a significant amount of
discussion regarding water resources; the standard in the General Plan as set forth in the staff
report states basically that there be no impact on water resources due to annexation. The
water demand for the project is estimated at 53 acre-feet per year; the applicant has proposed
satisfying the water demand by bringing on line and dedicating to the City the Deer Trail well.
He stated that the well would draw from the same aquifer as the existing City Oak Park Well,
and it is noted in the EIR that the water quality from the Oak Park Well is not good and it is
likely that the water from the Deer Trail well would have been treated at the well head. There
are also some questions that are raised in the EIR with regard to the policy of taking on line a
well that has relatively low production and has relatively higher cost than higher production
wells, and whether that, in fact, satisfies the intention of the General Plan.
Another significant issue is the matter of traffic. Mr. Buford advised that the Enwonmental
Impact Report relied on a traffic study that was conducted with regard to anticipated traffic
from the site. He pointed out that the standard in the City is that intersections should remain
at a minimum of a Level of Service C, and that a level of Service D is acceptable only if traffic
improvements are identified that would improve the intersection to level of Service C when
completed. He referred to the table in the EIR stating that basically the conclusions drawn were
that the project when added to the existing projects did not create a significant impact because
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 3 of 19
it did not lower any intersection below a C Level of Service. However, at base line, it is noted
that the Brisco Road/West Branch Street/US 101 northbound ramp would operate at a D level
of Service. When the project is added to the base line, basically, there are two intersections
where a slight increase occurs in the delay but there is no reduction in the Level of Service.
The conclusion based on the City's threshold is that the traffic from the project would not
cause a significant environmental impact and would not violate the policies of the City of
Arroyo Grande. The note in the EIR with regard to the Brisco Road/Halcyon Road/US 101
interchange is that the City is completing a study or analysis with regard to alternatives for that
intersection and with implementation of any of the three long term measures proposed, the
baseline Traffic would improve to level of Service A or C depending on the alternative.
Mr. Buford stated that the parcel to be annexed of 86.3 acres is not a level parcet and has a
significant topography. He referred to the fable taken from the Development Code to illustrate
the manner in which the Development Code approaches parcels that have significant slopes,
stating that staff believes the intention is evident that on a parcel such as this where there are
areas of significant slopes they would be designated as open space. This table indicates slopes
25% and up, there will not be building and grading on those sites, and if those parcels were
to be subdivided they would be intended for open space to be owned by a Homeowners'
Association. He stated in looking at the parcels that have been created, staff believes they are
consistent with the Development Code. He commented that even though Tract 2265 is not
before the Planning Commission for recommendation at this time, it is felt it makes sense to
be sure that the proposal by the applicant is realistic in terms of the City's General Plan and
Development Code, and it is staff's opinion that it is.
Mr. Buford advised that staff is recommending the Planning Commission recommend that the
City Council certify the EIR, and recommend that the General Plan be amended to designate the
project site as Rural Residential, and that the City's zoning map be amended to pre-zone the
project site as Rural Residential.
In response to Commissioner Costello's question regarding method of funding for additional
police and fire personnel as a result of the project, Community Development Director Hamilton
explained the funding would be based on an incremental increase that would have to be
allocated and/or addressed through the budget process. Commissioner CosteUo also questioned
Impacts B 1 and B2, storm water rlinoff, and inquired if the estimate of 2. 1-acre-feet proved to
be inadequate, where would the additional funds come from. Mr. Buford noted that the fiscal
impact analysis has identified a certain source of revenue from new development and the rest
would fall in the present manner in which the City is financing those services, and there are a
variety of avenues for the City to address those. However, once the tract is approved, you
don't go back and impose conditions again on that tract.
Commissioner Costello stated he has some serious concerns regarding the wat8f' quality of the
Deer Trail well, and the language in the EIR seems to be couched with "hedging the bet-. He
commented it isn't clear what the quality or quantity is going to be, or what the net impact win
be on the existing wells or impacts from other projects that might tap into the existing aquifer
Mr. Hamilton explained that the mitigation measure is attempting to put in place a monitoring
process to insure that the water quality is adequate and to determine whether or not additional
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 4 of 19
measures need to be taken to insure that.
Commissioner Parker referred to a previous comment regarding provisions that could be taken
to keep the 33-1/2 acre lot from being developed at a later time, and inquired about the deeding
process. Mr. Hamilton advised that an easement would be placed on the property and would
be a legally described part of the title of the property and is a condition of approval of the tract
map. Removal of the easement would require the approval of the City Council. In other words,
it would be a privately owned parcel of property with an easement and, in essence, that
easement would stipulate there be no development within that property, and to change that
easement to something else or to remove it would require approval of the City Council.
Commissioner Parker expressed concerns regarding water quality and costs related to treating
the water and the effect the Deer Creek well would have on the Oak Park well. She
commented that if the study shows that because of costs, condition of the water, end the drop
in the Oak Park well, it really does not support the building of 56 homes but perhaps would
support 30 homes, she questioned if that information would be given to the Commission before
or during the project review? Mr. Buford advised that the mitigation measure require that
information all be determined prior to any grading or construction occurring on the property and
prior to any subdivision map approval. He stated the map condition requires that these matters
be resolved to the satisfaction of the City prior to any approvals being granted that would result
in modifications of the property or the project.
Commissioner Parker referred to the information in the staff report indicating that the water
demand for the project is 53 acre-feet a year, and inquired if that fegure takes into consideration
the summer months where the water needs may increase? Mr. Buford advised the figure is
based on the City's procedures for determining water demand and the EIR consultant's review
of that information.
Commissioner Keen referred to Page 11 of the staff report relating to the mitigation measures
requiring development costs and ongoing services to be funded by the project applicants or
future residents, and inquired if the City has a mechanism that could charge a subdivision a
different water rate than the rest of the City to recover treatment costs? Mr. Buford stated he
is not aware of such a mechanism.
After further discussion between the Planning Commission and staff, Chair Green opened the
public hearing and invited the applicant and his representatives to speak first.
David Foote. Firma. 849 Monterev Street. responded to Commissioners' questions during the
foregoing discussion. With regard to the question regarding the Pismo Clarkia, Mr. Foote
advised that a botanical survey was conducted in the spring, the time the Clarkia would
normally be present, and none was found. The Department of Fish and Game felt that due to
the nature of the species, it can be abundant some years and almost non-existent others, so
they requested that another survey be done before any dirt is moved out there, which is a
normal procedure.
Regarding the question of the increase to Tally Ho Creek with the 50 cubic feet per second, Mr.
Foote stated it is his understanding that it is impossible to calculate the level of increase; it is
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 5 of 19
negligible in a channel of its relative narrow width, and if there is no increase, the width
increase would also be very little. He explained the reason width is referenced is that usually
flood levels are the key thing and not the width itself.
With regard to the timing of the interchange, Mr. Foote pointed out that if design studies are
under way, the Level of Service D that is forecast for that intersection, until that interchange
is improved, that LOS 0 would only be a result of buildout of an of the cumulative project list,
which includes a full buildout of Los Robles Del Mar and all of the projects within the City,
some of which have not even been approved yet. He commented that the buildout of that tist
is some number of ye...s in the future, and the process to get the interchange designed and
built is also a number of years. Whether or not they will coincide nicely is somewhat
speculative.
In response to Commissioner Parker's question regarding the collector status on Rodeo Drive,
Mr. Foote referred to response to comment 15.1, and the answer is it is both a collector street
and a local street depending on which end you are standing on. From Mercedes Drive west it
is built to a collector width per the Circulation Element standard for a Collector Street; the area
eastward of Mercedes to James Way is built to a Local Street standard and the volumes that
it is currently carrying are within Level of Service C or better for those widths.
Mr. Foote stated that the water forecast of acre-feet per year is an average over the whole year
so it does take into account peak periods as well as low periods. With regard to Commissioner
Costello's question as to what could be approved in the County, Mr. Foote referred to Section
2, Page 2, for a synopsis of the County code standards and the criteria that would have to be
met to do a cluster deveiopment on that site, the amount of water that is available there now
and the number of homes that it could sustain are about 50. He noted it is unknown what the
septic capability is for that property and it may constrain that number lower; the realm of 40
to 60 is probably something that could be proposed to the County under their. code without
asking for a variance. Mr. Foote also clarified that if the Planning Commission were to approve
a pre-zoning that is more intense, he is not sure that this EIR would cover it; this EIR covers a
certain project density and, therefore, that would need to be thought through carefully.
Also, regarding the question posed by Commissioner london relative to the situation of the Los
Robles well, Mr. Foote pointed out that the EIR states that the City of Pismo Beach has no
intention of using the wells at Los Robles Del Mar and that project would be receiving water
from their State water aHocation and, to the best of his knowledge, the wells that the City of
Pismo Beach uses currently are actually located in Grover Beach. He noted theY currently have
surplus for their General Plan buildout and, in his opinion, it doesn't appear imminent that those
wells are to go on line; they certainly could in the future, however, that is not their plan.
In answer to Commissioner Parker's question regarding effect of water availabitity and the
water quality from the well during peak periods, Mr. Foote stated it is his understanding that
the deep aquifer at 900 feet does not have a lot of seasonal fluctuation. Mr. Foote further
advised it is his understanding that there is a well currently on the property and it has been
analyzed by Cleath Associates and the report indicates about 50 residences could be served
under a mutual water company formed within the County. He pointed out that the report was
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 6 of 19
actually prepared for another property owner. He stated water doesn't seem to be a constraint
in the County, but septic might be.
Mr. Foote advised that the open space lot is 33 acres, which is less than the over a" annexation
area but is less than half of the tract.
In response to Commissioner Parker's question relative to responsibility of the cost of water
treatment assuming the proposed Deer Trail well requires some type of well head treatment,
Senior Consultant Engineer Craig Campbell explained the two components of cost with a
treatment facility, which is a filtration facility at the well head. One is the construction cost,
which would be the applicant's expense. There is also an ongoing maintenance expense,
including treatment, which would be the City's expense.
Dan Uovd. EDA. 1320 Nioomo Street. representing the applicant, spoke regarding the
comparisons of the project if developed in the City or County. . He stated the applicant is
required by the County to exhaust their opportunity for annexation by the City, therefore, the
project is being brought to the City first because that is the logical sequence. The property is
adjacent to the City, is a logical infill on the edge- of the City and is surrounded on three sides
by the City. If for some reason the City is not prepared to take that step toward annexation,
then the applicant will go to the County. Mr. Lloyd stated, in his opinion, the annexation is
appropriate from a revenue standpoint and from a control standpoint. The idea of clustering
is allowed by the ordinance and is a very good planning tool because it provides better use of
the resource of the land, putting development where it should go and leaving the open space
which should remain open.
He presented a brief comparison of this project to other projects in the City of similar nature,
such as Oak Park Acres, 250 acres with 251 units (1 unit to the acre); the Rancho Grande
project of 82 acres with 83 units (1 unit to the acre), and the Royal Oaks project of 151 acres
with 233 units (1-1/2 units to the acre). The proposed annexation of Village Glen has a
proposed density of 59 units and is .9 units to the acre. With regard to development in the
County, Mr. Lloyd stated that one unit per gross acre could result in 64 units, which would
require development of an on-site water company and a community disposal field. The
community disposal field would be regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
They have a minimum requirement for about 50 units for a community septic system, and that
system would be located on the more northerly portion of the site where the soils and slopes
are appropriate.
Mr. Lloyd answered some of the questions raised previously. He stated, with regard to
drainage, a detention basin is proposed on site that will limit flow down to Tally Ho Creek in
its existing water course, in fact, it will reduce water going into that water course by spreading
that water over time. He noted that is an improvement and betterment and with respect to
capacity, it would need to meet all of the standards that are set by the City, and could actually
exceed that criteria if deemed necessary and warranted.
With regard to water quality and water quantity, Mr. Lloyd advised that in order to bring I
water supply into the City, the applicant would have to address water quality and quantity.
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 7 of 19
As far as quality, he advised that generally speaking, that water is treatable to a standard that
would be usable, and the City could actually identify those costs associated with treatment and
apportion a flat fee of those costs against those residents' water bills.
With respect to grading and landform, Mr. Uoyd commented that the first plan did show
maximum usage of the parcels and create the biggest usable area. However, in the redesign,
they were able to show they can actually reduce the slope adjacent to James Way, contour it
and create a more natural looking sloped bank with landscaping, boulder., etc. He noted that
trails are proposed at the request of the City, however, there are none within the site at this
time so the actual final location would be determined in consultation with the Parks and
Recreation Director.
Mr. Lloyd stated his feeling that the most important thing as far as he has seen is that the level
of review and analysis that has been conducted by Firma on behalf of the City i. thorough,
comprehensive and answers the questions. He stated there are no impacts that cannot be
mitigated, the density is appropriate and is in keeping with the residential density existing
within the area. With respect to the General Plan Amendment, in his opinion, it is appropriate
to bring this property into the City, and he feels it is appropriate to look at the one unit per
gross acre density and is consistent with the ordinance and with County standards. He further
stated he feels the City is in a position to have a better project by having it developed within
the City.
Soencer Harris. 1390 Oceanaire Dr.. San Luis Obisoo. stated he is a registered geologist in
California and representing Cleath and Associates as a hydro geologicaf consultant. Mr. Harris
responded to Commissioner Parker's question regarding water resources noting that the deep
aquifer within the Pismo formation is not. directly hydraulically connected with the Arroyo
Grande Valley and the groundwater basin that underlies that portion of the City of Arroyo
Grande and the adjacent cities. Therefore, this particular aquifer is not going to impact the
water availability of resources within the groundwater basin. The aquifer that is within the
Pismo formation is structurally bowl shaped and is relatively deep beneath the site which was
selected for the test drilling. If the City decided it wanted to develop this water resource, then
a well at this location would be recommended. Chair Greene commented that it appears Mr.
Harris' position is that the Deer Trail well, when operational, is not a redundancy with the Oak
Park well. Mr. Harris stated it is not a redundancy and is an additional asset that will provide
additional water from this resource. He noted that the Deer Trail well will be tapping this
aquifer at a significantly greater depth than the Oak Park well, so it has the capacity to draw
from a much greater storage area than the Oak Park well and wiD tap water that the Oak Park
well will not tap.
Chair Greene asked for Mr. Harris' opinion regarding the quality of the water and what sort of
treatment will be necesury and what costs would be associated with that treatment Mr. Harris
stated his opinion that the water has a problem with iron and manganese; these are secondary
standards which are not directly health related and relate more to user preference. The rest of
the water quality he has seen, based on his review of water quality on the James estate that
has the same aquifer is that it is fresh and not too hard and, therefore, he didn't see any major
problems with the water quality other than iron and manganese. He further commented that
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 8 of 19
there are many wells throughout the County that are treated for iron and manganese so, in his
opinion, this would not be an overly burdensome problem, but he would refer it to the Public
Works Department for a cost.
Garv Youna. Arrovo Grande. applicant, stated when they originally went out to the other
property owners that are joining them in the annexation, they went out at the request of
LAFCo, one of their requests was that they be zoned with one acre parcels. Therefore, when
the applications were turned in to the City with the concurrence of City staff back in 1996, it
was agreed that the zoning come in as one block. He commented in defferenee to the property
owners, he would not My that he specifically represents them, but he has met with them and,
in his opinion, it would be their desire at this point to have the same zoning being requested
and that is the RR1 zoning.
Commissioner Parker inquired if the applicants had met with the property owners about the
emergency access route from the proposed development going straight to the back of Easy
Street? Mr. Young stated there are actually three property owners up on the hill and he had
met with two of them last evening. Their property backs up to the project. boundary where the
Fire Chief has asked for the emergency access, and the one owner who really has all of the
access on his property is in agreement. He understands the project will be providing him a way
for the Fire Department to get there should they not be able to come around the back of the
hill.
Phil Whitaker. 921 Huasna Road. stated he is in support of this project. He is . general
contractor and has lived in the City of Arroyo Grande for 10 years. He stated he has reviewed
this project and the Environmental Impact Report, he has walked the project, has been to the
Deer Trail well site, has reviewed the models that are being proposed, and he knows the
developer. He stated he likes the project and it gives him an opportunity in the future to
possibly have a home up on that hill. He further stated he likes the idea of clustering, which
allows the opportunity for some smaller and some larger homes. He commented he would like
to see the Commission recommend this project and agree with City staff that this would be a
good project for the future of the City and, in his opinion, it fits well with the idea of providing
for future families. He stated he believes it would be wise for the City to control this project
instead of the County, and he would like to see the revenue come into the City.
Fred Wendell, stated he had made comments during review of the Draft EIR and the number
of changes he observed in the Final EIR were relatively few compared to the Draft EtR. He
stated that because of the number of questions being asked indicates to him that the document
has not gone the full measure to provide the Commission with the information needed to
determine whether or not this project is in the public's best interest. He further stated the
questions he asked during previous reviews of the Draft EIR were not answered, and he would
have liked to have those answers. One of the points he would like clarified relates to
clustering. He stated there is no modification in the Final EIR and he has not seen the tract map
so he doesn't know if there are changes there. However, what he saw in the Final EIR still
suggests small lots adjacent to larger acre homes and, in his opinion, this will affect property
values and will also affect his view. He stated he would like to see larger lot sizes proposed
for adjacent properties with larger lot sizes. Mr. Wendell stated he is still concerned about the
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 9 of 19
water issues. He commented his property lies in a direct line between the deep aquifer and
where it surfaces, and he is concerned that his well, as well as many other wells within the
area, may be deep enough, and if you are drawing a lot of water from deep in the aquifer, is
that going to affect his ability to draw his water from his well?
Mr. Wendell stated, from a larger community perspective, he would like to have an answer
about the cost of treatment. He noted he does not understand why this cost information is not
in the EIR if there is a wen that is already producing and drawing water from that aquifer and
is being treated; the information is there and should have been incorporated in the Final EIR.
Mr. Wendell concluded that he opposes the annexation, as currently structured and as he
understands it. The project EIR has not addressed his concerns; and it appears that its goals
are the developer's goals at his expense, and he is not sure it is structured to comply with all
of the elements of the General Plan. Also, in his opinion, it exposes the City to unnecessary
risks and expense with regard to the water issue.
Glenn Hovina. 445 Cobre Place. stated he is a resident of Arroyo Grande 'and also works for
Century 21 Real Estate. He commented about the compatibility of this particular project,
stating from his perspective the project is compatible and makes. sense with the homes
surrounding this parcel. He stated over the last year and a half he has received numerous
questions regarding this project and when it will be completed. Mr. Hoving stated his opinion
that this annexation makes sense and he highly recommends the City go after this project rather
than have it develop in the County
C. Z. Brown. 350 Old Ranch Road. stated he has had the opportunity to review the EJR and
Tract 2265. The proposed tract composes 64 acres, which includes five other parcels under
various ownerships, totaling 86.3 acres. The aooexation has five existing residences, four of
which are not included in Tract 2265. He questioned if this means four more plots should be
included and, if so, how big are they? Are they 22 or more acres? He noted that 86.3 acres
plus 22 additional acres equals 108.3 acres, and the EIR speaks of 1 acre plots. He questioned
if this means 108.3 potential residences, or is 50% of that going to be dedicated to open
space? In addition, he stated if acres are downsized, this could possibly provide for more
homes and especially if they are clustered. He stated he couldn't tell from reading the EIR how
many homes would be clustered and how many would be residences. He stated it is difficult
to determine the exact number of cluster homes to be developed and others; the EIR talks about
63 units, 904 units and 105 units. He further stated on Page 3-6, Paragraph 6.1, .Consistency
Analysis., states over half the tract is to remain as open space. He questioned if this is one
half of 64 or one half of 105?
Mr. Brown referred to the entrance or exits from the project, noting the statement .The 11.5
acre parcel southwest of Tract 2265 would potentially link Rodeo Drive cul-de-sac to the street
stub-out within the tract.. He stated that Rodeo Drive already has a traffic problem and he
urged that outlet to James Way from the project be moved further north. He stated he noticed
from the plot plan on the board that there is a section there not included in the development
but within the annexation for access. If that access road could exit on James Way nearer to
Rancho Parkway, in his opinion, that would be more appropriate. If it could not exit further to
the northwest and it is going to exit onto Rodeo Drive, he suggested an abutment there as it
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 10 of 19
exists on James Way so traffic wouldn't proceed directly down Rodeo Drive; put . right turn
lane only and then going east on James Way, put a left turn lane only so that the traffic going
on Rodeo to James Way could not go directly into the project.
As a side note, Mr. Brown stated that in reviewing past traffic studies, it might be we' to ask
our own Traffic Commission to take a more accurate review of what is going on with the
cumulative circulation problem within this respective area. This would include the Village Glen,
the Highlands, the Rodeo Heights project, the Cantrell project, etc. He referred to Page 3-4,
4th paragraph, 31d sentence, stating "The process has led to the creation of many lots, some
approaching one acre in size without an adequate road access due to a poorly planned overall
circulation system" . Mr. Brown stated he agrees with that statement and a more
comprehensive approach to planning is needed, not just review of this individual EIR. He also
referred to issues of scarring of hillsides due to poor grading practices, inadequate drainage
resulting in flooding and siltation of drainage courses. He urged the Commission to take a
critical look at these potential problems. With respect to the traffic, he reiterated that perhaps
the Traffic Commission could do a comprehensive traffic circulation study that would be helpful
to this Commission and to the Council.
He noted that on Page IU, 13E, under "Known Controversy. it states "'No known .....s of public
or agency controversy.. Mr. Brown stated he totally disagrees with that statement. There is
disagreement on traffic, water, park fees and where the funds are going to be spent, the impact
on schools, etc. Under "Alternatives., V, 1 and 2, under C, Paragraph 7, it states "Reduce
project to 20 to 50 would avoid or reduce all significant impacts to a level not requiring
mitigation for some or all impact areas.. He stated, in his opinion, this would seem to be quite
appropriate. He mentioned a letter from Larry Allen, Air Pollution Control District, wherein he
made several pertinent observations. It states "District staff does not agree with the air quality
analysis and that both short term and long term impacts to air quality could be affected. The
project description is unclear as to the maximum number of units.. Mr. Brown stated it is still
very unclear to him; 81 units if the other 5 units are developed, or is it 99? In addition, will the
33.5 residential lots be retained or further subdivided? He commented he believes Mr. Allen's
observations are pertinent and he questioned just how many cluster type units and residential
units are to be planned for this particular project?
Kathleen Wendell. 727 Printz Road. stated she and her husband were not notified about this
meeting and did not find out about it until Saturday morning. She stated when they went to
the library, a copy of the Fmal EIR was not available, however, they were able to obtain a copy
and spent a great deal of the weekend reading the document before they had to return it. She
stated she was concerned about the fact that the Final EIR and the tract map do not match and
is very confusing. She commented, therefore, her recommendation would have to be based
on the Final EIR information. With regard to the well, she stated it seems if this were
developed in the County, they could use this well and it is stated that could support 52 homes,
so they could have a community well system and in that way they would be responsible for
maintaining the equipment and the treatment of the water, which would all be internal to the
site. One of the issues she wanted to emphasize was relative to comment 19.2 which states
"... .new development, and its need to be in an appropriate density and intensity based upon
compatibility with the majority of existing surrounding land uses." She stated the reference
Anoyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 11 of 19
to -majority of existing surrounding land uses- seems to be pretty cut and dried. She noted
that adjacent to the north are 2.5 acres to 10 acre parcels, over 2.5 acre P81'cels adjacent in
the west, and going to the east there are two 2.5 acre parcels and two 3.0 acre parcels, and
only in the south across a large street behind a fence do you have a more dense environment.
It seems if this development were to meet that criteria it would be in the RE 2.5 acre parcel
at a minimum.
Ms. Wendell stated she too felt there were a lot of questions asked at the last meeting that
were not sufficiently answered in the Final EIR, such as who would be responsible for treatment
to the well, and the possibility of the long term need to do blending. Also, the question about
legal conveyance of the well site to the City; whether it would be bought or leased? There
were also comments in the draft EIR indicating that the current planning at the way we would
be building out would use our allocated water supply and, therefore, anything additional that
would be annexed would have to have their own water. She noted that the area designated
for open space and the traits is pretty steep. With the foregoing comments, Ms. WendeR stated
it is her recommendation that the Planning Commission not recommend this Final EIR be
certified by the City Council. Also, in her opinion, it appears that by using the guise of
clustering we are not going in conjunction with the surrounding properties, and therefore it
seems more appropriate to go with Residential Estate zoning.
Carter Hooker. 380 SDanish Moss Lane. spoke regarding the traffic at the Brisco underpa..,
stating that three lanes is not sufficient now and when Wal Mart and the rest of these tracts
are built out, it will be a lot worse. He commented that the Brisco underpass has to be widened
in the near future and, hopefully, before it gets too crowded. It is a real physical concrete
bottleneck that needs to be addressed immediately. He further stated he is surprised the City
can't come up with any kind of conditions to take care of the additional cost to the City for the
Fire and Police, school, buses, etc., and there must be some way to work on that. He noted
that the water issue comes up in every City and in every meeting. Also, the sewer issue is one
of his main concerns and he inquired if an overall assessment of the sewer requirements has
been done, adding up tract by tract and building by building, and is there enough capacity for
the treatment? Mr. Hooker referred to traffic on Rodeo Drive, commenting that it is the
straightest shot to the freeway and everybody uses it. He stated addressing these things one
at a time doesn't seem to be enough, and he urges using some kind of a score card to literally
start keeping track of aU of the commitments and keep adding them up because at some point
in time the City is going to have to say -no. to somebody.
Mr. Hooker recommended that the City consider the same kinds of questions for the non-tract
section as for the tract section; what kind of rules, what kind of limitations and what are the
requirements? He noted the City is going to have to maintain all of their streets and provide
City services to them also.
Jack Hardv. Grover Beach. stated he is in favor of the project and he feels it has been very wen
planned out, makes a lot of sense with the clustering of homes. The plan has a nice design and
fits well with the transition of homes on the south side of James Way. He commented, in his
opinion, it would be far better for the City to control a project like this than for the County to
control it. He noted some of the advantages to the City such as 59 new taxpayers paying
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30. 1999
Page 12 of 19
property tax to the City. in-lieu park fees. and I lot of families spending money in Arroyo
Grande. He stated he believes that this is the type of controlled growth that this community
needs and urged the Commission to recommend this project to the City Council.
Glen D. James. stated his father bought the property up there many years ago and his family
has been working with Gary Young over the past three years. He encouraged the Planning
Commission to recommend approval of the project to the Counc". stating he believes it is an
excellent project because it concentrates the development and still leaves a large green area.
He commented that some of the other proposals made to them were for rather large rich
estates and he hates to see only the rich get housing.
Mike Lebow. Canvon Wav. stated he is in favor of more of a no growth policy to keep the hills
from growing with homes and keep the integrity of the nature of this area.
Doua Dunn. Arrovo Grlll\de. stated he has I piece of property that touches thia development.
His concerns include the density and building on that prominent ridge line. and also the water
issue.
Dick DeBlauw. 774 Alta Vista Wav. stated he has reviewed the plans for the property and the
design for the subdivision and. in his opinion. it is a good design for development of the
property. He further stated he would prefer to see it designed as the plans show than have
homes spread out an over that acreage. He noted he has been on a well from that same aquifer
for 27 years and it is good water and the water table never seemed to move up or down. He
commented. in his opinion. the Commission should think about good planning and seriously
recommend taking this "operty into the City of Arroyo Grande for development rather than let
go to the County. He urged that the Commission plan for the people rather than pfan against
the people because population is happening and we need to have places for people to live.
Melissa Watkins. Heritaae Lane. Arrovo Grande. stated her feelings that annexing this property
as part of the City is a wise decision because then you do have control over what is done with
the property. and it would be a financially sound decision. She also stated she feels that the
tract project as presented is a good one and that the public expects that parcel. of property to
be developed and is something that everyone knows is going to happen eventually. She further
stated she feels that people will be pleased to see a smaller project like the one acrOH James
Way instead of the larger estate lots, and she hopes the Commission win recommend approval
of the annexation to the City Council.
Sara Ann Marshall. 203 Montecito Ave.. SheD Beach. stated she is in favor of the project. She
noted one of the pros for her would be the fact that there are 4 bedroom homes at affordable
prices and the lots are larger and have more room for children to play.
Bob Harris. Cleath and Associates, addressed various comments regarding the fact that there
are wells along James Way that would probably tap this aquifer and it is the applicant's intent
to be attentive to those. He noted that Cleath and Associates' position on water availability
is that water for a property for development should be sustainable by the property, and
generally speaking, the more property you have overlying an aquifer the more right you have
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 13 of 19
to pump that water. Therefore, when Cleath &. Associates looked at the recharge that is
available for the property itself, it was felt there was a constraint on that rech8rge and informed
the applicant of that, noting that this is the amount of water we would credit that property as
being able to sustain. Beyond that you would be pulling water from outside of the property and
thereby potentially impacting adjacent wells. Mr. Harris noted that their analysis is based on
well interference and recharge, and the well interference has been analyzed conservatively and
presented in the EIR, aa well as recharge. When the well is drilled and tested, then a final
analysis will be presented of the impacts.
Dan Uovd. EDA, stated their position this evening is to make sure the Commi88ioners' questions
are answered. With regard to water, he noted that the proposed well site ia ooinI to provide
water in excess of the project's needs and, therefore, there wiH be more water available to the
City than will be utilized by this property. Also, this well will provide water for the additional
parcels within the annexation area, and the sewer needs will be met. With reglfd to the
density issue raised, Mr. Lloyd stated he doesn't believe there is an issue regarding dertsity; one
unit to the acre for the entire annexation area is not a problem.
Chair Greene spoke regarding the traffic that would be generated by thia project on Rodeo
Drive, stating that the issue of traffic on Rodeo Drive has been a very contentious and
troublesome problem for the City since the street opened a decade ago. According to the data
that was provided from a 1997 study, the street carries 2300 vehicle trips per day to Branch.
He stated, according to the conclusion by Mr. Foote, 300 vehicle trips per day is not a
significant environmental impact, however, it is agreed that it is a significant impact for the
individuals who live in that community. He asked if there are any alternatives to mitigating the
traffic problems available to the applicant? Mr. Lloyd stated, in his opinion, there are a lot of
good suggestions that have been mentioned and it was his feeling that some good options
could be looked at with the Traffic Commission. Mr. Lloyd stated that the timing seems to be
right because there is a little time between now and the time when this project comes back to
the Commission, and there could probably be three or four meetings with the Traffic
Commission. One option could perhaps include the support of a consultant to deal with traffic
calming suggestions and look at it in an aggregate way, and actually come up with some
mitigation measures that the applicant could help fund and perhaps identify a mitigation
program that could be adopted by the City.
Chair Greene suggested that a mitigation measure be added in the EIR direct"" the a,pIicant
to engage in and work with community resources such as the Traffic Commission, Department
of Public Works, and citizens who represent the community in that area in coming up with a
proposal or a plan to either calm traffic on the street or to help fund an alternative route that
might alleviate some of the traffic. Mr. Lloyd indicated their willingness to participate in a joint
discussion and solution to the traffic issue. Chair Greene asked if Mr. Lloyd and the applicant
have given any thought to endeavoring to work with the adjacent property owner and developer
of Tract 1834 to provide an outlet for the subject development through Tract 1834 instead of
running the road that is proposed to go through the existing James residertce and maybe
drawing it a little bit to the west and providing an access through that parcet. An opportunity
could be offered to that individual to develop a secondary emergency access, which could be
a benefit to both subdivisions to have access to an east/west corridor through what is now the
Arroyo Grende Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 14 of 19
11 acre James property. Mr. Lloyd indicated their willingness to discuss various options.
Mr. Young, applicant, inquired if the reference to additional mitigation measures that are not
contained on his property, references funding something that is not on his property? Chair
Greene advised when this project was before the Commission previously, one of the
Commissioners recommended that there be some sort of complimentary agreement that would
enable the current proposal to be considered tempering this effort to reduce traffic through the
neighborhood that seems to be most impacted by this proposal. Mr. Young pointed out that
his project needs to take care of his needs and to start talking about MfundingM on another
person's project is getting out of the purview of his responsibility at this point, especially when
talking about a private developer with a private project. He noted he would certainly not want
to link his project to Grace Lane, however, he would jointly work with the community for the
betterment of the community to solve traffic issues.
Mr. Young stated that the issues before the Commission tonight are the iauea of
recommending to the City Council to approve annexing the ."operty, recomf'llHlftd to, the City
Council to have the General Plan Amendment show the pre-zoning and recommend the pre-
zoning, and he encouraged the Commission to vote tonight.
Hearing no additional comments from the audience, Chair Greene closed the public hearing.
Commissioner London atated that his questions have pretty mueh been answered and the
project seems to fall within all of the requirements of the General Plan and Devefopment Code.
Commissioner Costello stated his biggest concern about the project revolves around the water
issues and, in his opinion, we won't have answers on the water until a weft is actually drilled
and testing is done. Inasmuch as the final approval of the tract map is contingent upon those
wells being examined, he feels that is an issue that is going to be resolved down the line. In
terms of some of the mitigation issues, the structure we have to deal with in the City such as
public safety issues doesn't give any latitude, because there is no language that exists that says
we are going to need an additional officer and we are going to fund it; that is going to happen
after the fact. He stated he has a problem with full mitigation for schools, and he unders~ands
it is beyond the purview of this EIR to solve this particular problem. Density fteeds to be dealt
with and, as pointed out by staff, when the project comes back, we have the ftexibility to work
with the project in terms of how we go about reaching the consistency. There are a lot of
issues he needs to think about and that will need to be dealt with, but he believes the
document does meet the minimum and does answer some of the questions. In principal, the
annexation is a logical extension of the City's boundaries and does fit into the City of Arroyo
Grande and probably should be annexed. The question remains; what is the best way to do
that and what is the best project to put in there '1
Commissioner Parker stated she believes in the clustering type of density, and that this project
conforms with the statement in the General Plan that when you put in a project, it needs to
conform to the surrounding lands and, in her opinion, this one does. The reason she ftkes the
clustering of homes here is because it leaves the lands she believes to be an environmental
issue. The land in the culvert and the land that is surrounded by all of the Oak trees need to
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30. 1999
Page 15 of 19
be preserved. She also believes that annexation needs to be addressed in the Gener8t Plan. end
because this site is already surr~unded on three sides by the City and is within the City's
sphere. it doesn't represent an urban buildout. rather it feels like we are' flHing in the hole, and
seems like a natural acceptable annexation that doesn't sprawl us out in one direction or
another. She also stated whether or not this project is built. Rodeo Drive needs to be
addressed and. in her opinion. Rodeo is not necessarily a problem because of this project. but
Rodeo has a problem despite this project.
Commissioner Parker referred to an Oak Grove area of six to eight Oak trees that is designated
to be removed and suggested this area be looked at when the project comes back to the
Commission to see if anything can be done to preserve the rural character even further and
contain that Oak grove and not remove it. Also. she stated she believes that a community
based sewer system that the City could provide to this area would be much more preferable
to the area than having either individual septic systems or community septic systems. With
regard to water. Commissioner Parker stated she is concerned. however. she is glad to hear
that the water studies will be prepared and in place before the City has to look at the project.
Commissioner Keen stated he feels that this project is a good in-fin project and need. to be
developed by the City because of the different ramifications it would have if developed by the
County. Regarding schools. Commissioner Keen stated the City's efforts of trying to designate
land from a project for a school has been unsuccessful and. in his opinion. hwing school fees
given is the best way to go. The Police and Fire Department have a mutual aid agreement and.
therefore. if the County develops it, the City wiD still service that area. There wHI stitt be traffic
on James Way and Rodeo Drive if the County develops it. so that is another reason the City
should annex it and try to govern and develop some way to help on Rodeo Drive. He stated
if there is a way that this traffic impact fee could go directly toward helping finance the Rodeo
Heights bypass. in his opinion. that would be a step in the right direction.
Senior Consultant Engineer Craig CampbeH advised that presently the only traffic fee structures
that are available are for specific lists of projects, such as a traffic facilities ......ct fee and a
traffic signalization fee. and these each have their list of city-wide improvements where they
are applicable for. and the City is restricted in using them for that. and correcting problems on
Rodeo is not on that list. Basically, to use the fees for Rodeo. you would need to amend the
Fee Ordinance to add that as one of the list of projects.
Chair Greene clarified that the purpose of this hearing is to consider whether or nor the Draft
. and Final EIR together adequately (1) identify the environmental impact. (2) adequately analyze
the environmental impacts. and (3) propose appropriate mitigations. If the Planning Commission
votes to recommend to the City Council to certify the EIR. that does not mean that the project
has been approved. only that the environmental impacts have been adequately identified.
.nalyzed and mitigations proposed. He outlined other major steps in the approval process
before the project can go on line, some of which are policy issues.
Chair Greene noted the Commission is guided by the Land Use Element of the Gefterat Plan.
Objective 10.0. which talks about expansion of city boundaries and annexation. He stated he
believes this property should be annexed and he also believes reasons for the annexation have
.
Arroyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Pege 16 of 19
been adequately explained by other members of the Commission. He stated he is very
uncomfortable with this EtA because it focuses almost entirety on the annexation of Tract 2265
and addresses in a superficial manner only the armexation of the remaining .-reels which
constitute the other 19 acres. When some of that land becomes developed it is going to add
additional environmental impacts which, in his opinion, have not been and cannot be adequately
addressed in the EIR. He commented that the handwriting is on the wall and these properties
are going to be developed and the impacts are going to occur. He is concerned because the
water analysis focuses a great deal on some 59 homes and doesn't include a discussion
regarding additional homes. Maybe the welt that is on Deer Trail can absorb the additional
water needs, and maybe the other issues regarding police, fire, public safety provisions, school
issues, school fees and traffic mitigation issues can be dealt with, however, he is very
uncomfortable that this is being presented to the City in this way. He agreed that there is no
other way the applicant could present it since he doesn't have control over the James property.
He stated his feeling that the decision makers need to address this issue and there needs to
be some reference in the staff reports regarding potential impacts over and above those
identified in the EIR.
Chair Greene expressed concern over the water issue, stating it is not clear to him who it going
to pay and how much. He feels that the EIR is deficient in that respect and, in his opinion,
there should be some information provided to the City decision makers regarding the cost
associated with the we.. He noted that the Open Space and Conservation Element under the
Water Resources section states .....the City's present entitlements to ground water and Lopez
supplies are not adequate to support buildout of the General Plan." This was adopted many
years ago, and at that time, they were telling us that there were wate, problems then and we
have added a significant number of residences since that date, and we continue to add more.
He outlined another concern he has regarding the proposal requiring that the property be pre-
zoned as RR, which means one residence per acre. He commented this is compatible at some
points and incompatible in others with the surrounding neighborhood. He suggested that staff
include in their staff report to the Council some sort of options they might want to consider
regarding alternative zoning measures.
Chair Greene stated that the next issue to be considered is compatibility with the community's
basic identity as a rural small town community and, in his opinion, this project is compatible.
This is a residential area and we are annexing residential property and there is some degree of
consistency . Another issue is whether the annexation is consistent with the ooals and
objectives of the Generaf Ptan in regard to protection of agriculture and open space. He stated
he has a concern about that because there is a section in the General Plan that talks about
maintaining slopes of 25% or more on 40 acre parcels, and there appears to be a slight
deviation from that here. The applicant might want to consider setting aside extra portions of
Tract 2265 for open spaee to bring it closer to that element of the General Plan. He further
stated his opinion that everyone would applaud a reduction in the density or an increase in open
space for that issue.
Chair Greene agreed with other Commissioners why the City will benefit from annexation when
considering what the County could build, the loss of property tax values, park fees and traffic
fees, which is a significant benefit to the City. Another issue is the contamination of ground
Anoyo Grande Planning Commission
March 30, 1999
Page 17 of 19
water with septic systems. He commented there does exist a significant social and economic
inner dependence interaction between the City and property proposed for annexation. There
is adequate infrastructure and services that can be or have been provided and, finafly, the
proposed annexation witt generate revenue to pay for provision of City services.
After the foregoing comments, Chair Greene advised he supports the resolution that would
certify the EIR He stated he has a real problem with the pre-zoning and the density of the
project. With regard to the traffic problems on Rodeo Drive, Chair Greene stated his belief that
the City has the responsibility to provide for and protect the general welfare of the citizens of
the community, and although it might not necessarily be an environmental impact for a
residential street to have 2300 or 2600 vehicles go up and down it each day, it is . significant
impact for the residents who live there. He believes the City has a responsibility to alleviate
that situation; how they go. about doing that and whether the applicant is involved or not is an
issue that will be addressed later on. He commented he believes the applicant has the
responsibility to help mitigate this problem and when this issues comes before the Commission
again, it will be interesting to see what efforts have been made to develop a community
response to this problem.
Chair Greene reiterated his position that he is prepared to support a resolution certifying the
EIR, however, he is not prepared to support a resolution that the property be pre-zoned RR.
It is his feeling that process needs a little more investigation and discussion.
There being no further discussion, the following action was taken:

PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS AND COMMENTS
Commissioner Keen noted the upcoming farewell gathering for Community Development
Director Jim Hamilton. He expressed his appreciation and commended for Mr. Hamilton for
taking over when he did at a point when there were several controversial projects and, in his
opinion, he did an outstanding job. The Commissioners expressed their thanks to Mr. Hamilton
and their wishes for good luck in his new assignment. Mr. Hamilton advised that Mr. Henry
Engen will be the Interim Director and that he is well experienced and knows the community
and the area very well.
Commissioner Parker briefly reviewed the Planning Commissioners' Conference held in Monterey
which she attended last week. She stated she would like to see the Couftcif designate. funds
for Planning Commissioners to attend these conferences. She further stated, in her opinion,
this helps Commissioners to learn their job better and, therefore, be more beneficial and provide
more to the City in return. She encouraged City staff to approach the City Council in this
respect and ask them to include funds in the budget. Mr. Hamilton advised he is in the process
of preparing the budget recommendations for the department for the upcoming year, and he
has made a request to increase the education portion of the budget to allow some opportunity

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR COMMENTS AND FOLLOW-UP REPORTS.
Community Developm8ft.t Director Hamilton advised that at the last City Coul'\cil meeting the
Council took action whereby the City will be applying in concert with the County for an
agricultural land stewardship program grant from the State as part of the next step in the CASP
process, and right now it looks like we are asking for a joint grant of about $30,000 and
looking at actually putting in place some of the implementation elements that were included in
CASP.

Village Glen EIR

Response to Letter from Fred Wendell
1. Refer to FEIR response to comment 5.2.
2. If accepted and ultimately used by the City, the proposed well would be operated by the City,
including water treatment operations. The type and cost of treatment are not considered
extraordinary, but are similar to measures taken by the City elsewhere and also by many
municipalities, according to the Public Works Department (testimony by Craig Campbell, Assistant
City Engineer at Planning Commission meeting).
3. Th~ mitigation calls for a revised grading plan to be submitted to the City for review and approval
prior to issuing a grading permit. The mitigation is clearly feasible by eliminating pad grading
and/or creating wider lots. As a start toward satisfying this mitigation measure, the applicant
presented a revised Tract Map at the Planning Commission meeting with deeper lots. along James
Way. This would reduce the steepness of slopes along James Way.
4. Refer to responses to comments 6.2 and 7.2. The City of Pismo Beach weB on the Los Robles
del Mar property is not planned to serve that project, and the City of Pismo Beach has no plans to
use the well (see EIR page IV-E7). Cumulative effects of well pumpage on the aquifer are
described on page IV-E8 and were addressed by a hydrogeologist in detail at the Planning
Commission meeting.
The EJR notes that if the proposed well production is, in fact, sirrilar to the Oak Park well, the
output would be adequate to serve the project water demand (see pages IV-E4 and ES). Refer
also to page 11-1 of the FEIA.
5. The referenced existing parcel would become part of, and be superseded by, the proposed Jot
64 consisting of a single 33.5 acre lot. As part of the Final Tract Map this lot would presumably be
subject to deed restrictions preventing future subdivision since this lot is the open space lot
necessary to create a cluster subdivision.
"Gross area" means at site land including roads and sidewalks and is the correct method to
determine density.
6. Property value issues are outside the purview of CECA. Regarding local (on-site) water. an on-
site well exists that could serve about 50 homes (see response to comment 7.1).
7. Refer to 6 above.
8. The EIA section E-Groundwater Resources was prepared by an independent consultant who
reviewed an applicant prepared report. Refer also to response 7.2.
9. Cumulative impacts are summarized in section VI of the EIA.
10. Refer to response 6.3.

.
11. Regarding the potential for access to an alternative project from Canyon Way, refer to response
7.1. The alternative of 20 lots is not rejected "out of hand", but is rejected because I does not
satisfy the CEOA requirement that an alternative meet most of the project objectives.
The idea of using "other suitable building areas" would mean shifting some lots from the upland
areas of the site to the lower areas at the end of Canyon Way. For example, about five lots could
be shifted from the northern corner nearest the adjacent County lands and located at the end of
Canyon Way. This alternate would benefit the commentor who lives in the County land, however,
this alternative does not meet the CEOA standard of avoiding or reducing one or more significant
irnpact identified in the EI R.

Arroyo Grande, CA 93421
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to provide comment on the Village Glen Annexation, Tract 2265
Project Draft EIR. I am a City of Arroyo Grande property owner with property in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed project. My primary residence lies approximately
400 feet north of the north-western comer of the proposed annexation.
While I am opposed to the project as currently proposed for a variety of reasons,
I will focus my comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR.
Summary of Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures:
Impact A 1 and A2: Monitoring is offered as suggested mitigation for potential impacts
to fire and police services. This form of mitigation appears unnecessarily weak
compared to that provided for impacts to school districts (development impact fees).
Impact E3: If water quality is poor (a reasonable assumption given data from Oak Park
well that taps same aquifer) and requires treatment to meet minimum State drinking
water standards for domestic use, who will pay for ongoing treatment costs? Are
treatments costs considered in assessment that donation of well to the City represents
a positive beneficial aspect of project deyelopment?
Impact F1: Mitigation offered for subject impact is qualified as "to the extent feasible".
How can the EIR ev.aluate adequacy of that form of mitigation if the proposal does not
define specifically what is feasible in terms of eliminating pad grading, creating stepped
pads, or varying slope ratios below 2: 1. One should assume that none of the offered
mitigation are feasible without commitment to specifics particularly since the Draft EIR
offers no Level of Impact After Mitigation.
Impact E1 and E2: I believe these impacts should be classified as Class II at a
minimum. They have the potential for creating significant impact to adjacent property
owners if assumptions made in the Draft EIR are incorrect. Specifically, the Draft EIR
assumes no connection between shallow and deep aquifers (howeyer, it recognizes
that water from shallow aquifers is a factor in recharging the deep aquifer in another
section). If this assumption is incorrect and additional drawdown from the deep aquifer
removes water from the shallow aquifer many property owners in the area that rely on
wells that tap the shallow aquifer could be negatively impacted.
The potential for negative affects from additional drawdown of the deep water aquifer
are greater than that described in the Draft EIR. It is not clear to me that the Draft EIR
evaluates the additional cumulative affect from use of the Pismo Beach City well
adjacent to the City's Oak Park well (full project demand from that well -additional 350
residences?). The cumulative impacts could affect other City uses from existing well.
The existing City well provides approximately 55 gpm yet the hired consultant
hydrologist assumes that the new well can provide 100 gpm. The Draft EIR does not
provide adequate support for the assumption in face of the existing and contradictory
data from the Oak Park well.
The mitigation suggested for this impact is monitoring and testing. It is not clear what
will happen if the assumptions prove incorrect and the project donated well cannot
provide usable water in the quantities necessary to support the project.
Giyen these concerns is seems unreasonable to suggest that the assumed excess
water from the donated well will be a positive (Class IV) beneficial impact from
annexation.
Consistency Analysis (General Plan):
Section 6.Od and e - It is not clear in the Draft EIR specifically what will prevent
future development on portion of Lot 31 of Book B, Page 78. The land appears to be
suitable for building. If it is part of the single 33.5 acre lot, what will preyent its
development under other administrations. I believe most negative impacts from
development of this property would be minimized if this area were considered part of
the usable land (increase lot sizes near northern edge of project without increasing the
total number of lots) and accessed those lots from Canyon Way. Lots near the
northern edge of the annexation area could then be expanded to make them more
compatible with the adjacent Rural Estate lots (2.5 acre minimums). However, I do not
believe this to be a reasonable alternative given the current status of available water.
It would seem that roads and sidewalks have been added into the land to establish the
gross minimum one acre minimum lots sizes. Is this appropriate and consistent
application of clustering concept?
Section 7.1 - The placement of clustered lots that are around 15,000 square feet
immediately adjacent to Rural Estate lots (minimum 2.5 acres lot size) is unnecessary
and will have a significant negative economic impact on the existing property owners.
On a large scale there is a transition in lot size. However, comparisons to the Garden
tract with the smaller "affordable housing" minimum lot size is not reasonable given the
real character of most of the surrounding land use.
Section suggests that development under county zoning could create potential.for
livestock keeping. Since this would be prohibited after armexation, the project could
avoid potential incompatibilities. This seems to be a biased characterization. It is not
clear that development under county zoning is possible since local water is not
available. Further, existing uses include grazing on the property and adjacent land
owners to the north can have livestock.
Section 7.2 - The clustering concept does not create a pleasing transition to
surrounding development. As mentioned earlier, clustering places relatively small lots
immediately adjacent to much larger lots. It will have an immediate affect on adjacent
property values.
Page IV-E3 Since the section on Aquifer Properties states that little is know about the
Pismo formation deep aquifer, one should question nature of evaluation provided in
Executive Summary related to affects of drawdown. I believe the City would be remiss
to accept the projects hired hydrologists interpretation without independent assessment
that the formation lithology between the shallow aquifer and the deep aquifer will be an
effectiye aquitard (ie proYiding a barrier and precluding hydraulic communication
between two strata). The Draft EIR does indicate that there is no data to confirm
interpretation but does not eyaluate potential impacts if interpretation is incorrect.
Page IV-E4 indicates that addition sources of recharge of deep aquifer may be yertical
leakage from the shallow aquifers - but, assumes it is very limited. Many property
owners will be affected if assumption is incorrect.
Cumulative Impacts (Page IV-E8): The assessment provided in this section should
also be provided in the Executive Summary. This is the only section that addresses
many of the water related concerns mentioned aboye and it seems biased that it has
not been provided in summary form.
Page IV-F1: The visual resources - The section does not indicate that lots within the
incorporated area to the northwest look across the site. Specifically, this is my
residence and the view is restricted by trees to only the clustered lots. It will not be
visually pleasing.
Alternatives This section appears to be weakly developed. Only two alternatives are
offered and one of these is rejected out of hand. One is left with an evaluation of a
project reduced from 64 lots to 50. Clearly, other reasonable alternatives are available
including: 1) reduced lots numbers above 20 and less than 50; 2) modification of lot
sizes to provide larger lots near RE zoning; 3) use of other suitable building areas
within the proposed annexation area which could be accessed from Canyon Way.
Several of these alternatives would be superior to those currently proposed.
In summary, while I believe in providing room for development, the proposed
project and the alternatives evaluated in the Draft EIR will all have a significant impact
on me and have the potential for negatively impacting my City. I would like to see a
better eyaluation of alternatives and impacts than that which has been provided in the
subject Draft.
Sincerely,
{J.W~

were spent on the Soto Park Complex. He recommended an objective legal

and:
(1) An accounting of how these collected funds have been expended
(2) If there an obligation by the City to return unused park fees to the property
owners?

owners or the developer need to be clearly advised just where those funds will be
expended.

happed to the park fees and current scheduling and funding for the Rancho Grande
Park.

10.A. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE: REPORT OF LONG RANGE PLANNING
COMMITTEE AND GENERAL PLAN CORE OUTREACH TEAM
Interim Community Development Director Henry Engen said it was the
recommendation of the Long Range Planning Comm.ittee and the General Plan Core
Outreach Team that the Council provide direction on the next step in the progress
of the General Plan Update.
Mr. Engen gave a history of the "Citizens' Planning Survey" developed by the
Committee and Team. He said more than 1,000 surveys were returned by citizens.
He said results of the survey were in the staff report.
Mayor Lady invited the public to speak about the direction the City should take on
the General Plan Update. The following persons spoke:
(1) Mary Von Achen, a resident of Brady Lane off EI Campo Road near Falcon Ridge
in the County. Ms. Von Achen said she was accompanied by her brother, Pat
Williams. She said their family owns 200 acres of property located East of US 101
directly adjoining and contiguous to the Frederick property that has been
considered for annexation by the City. She suggested it would benefit the City to
also annex her property. She discussed the importance of constructing an
interchange on Highway 101 to provide access to the annexed property. She said
her family was in the process of contracting with a local engineering firm to work
on the preparation of a Specific Plan.
(2) Tim Brown, 125 Allen Street, spoke to the Council about his plan for proceeding
with the General Plan Update, as follows: -
(a) Assess the survey and workshop results.
(b) Based on that assessment, create a single land use plan, using as a
starting point Map A.
(c) Have the Community Development Director act as a facilitator in leading
the Long Range Committee and Core Outreach Team in drafting the
plan. The group should report back to the Council in 60 days.
(d) Assuming the plan is approved by the City Council, give it to the General
Plan Update consultants for a final draft of the General Plan.
(e) If the Long Range Committee and Core Outreach Team cannot draft a
plan, let the consultants prepare a land use plan acceptable to Council.
(3) Nan Fowler, 630 Cerro Vista Circle, Chair of the board of the Chamber of
Commerce and a Grand Avenue business owner, said the Chamber suggested that
while the Council is discussing the ongoing Update of the General Plan it look at
the area of the Fiscal Economic Analysis. She said $50,000 already has been
allocated to develop a Fiscal Economic Analysis for the City. She said there would
be merit in expanding that scope of study to include the development of an
economic strategy. She said with all the background available from numerous prior
studies, it would be cost effective to have the consultants compile the existing data
4
- ~-_.._-~--~"
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
APRIL 13, 1999
into not only a fiscal analysis but also to develop an economic strategy. She said
there has been thousands of dollars spent on these studies and it would be a waste
not to use them. She said it would be an efficient way to get added value for the
dollars we are spending for this Gener~1 Plan Update. She gave the Council a
memorandum from the Chamber on this subject.
(4) Kevin Ferguson, 605 Village Court, said he was concerned with some of the
zoning proposed for the Arroyo Linda project.
Council Member Tolley questioned Mr. Brown about his suggestions and whether a
staff member or the consultant should facilitate the Long Range Committee/Core
Outreach Team discussions. Mr. Brown said his main concern was to save the City
time and money.
(5) Kirk Scott of Arroyo Grande said he also was concerned about how much
money was being spent.
(6) Mike Titus, 404 Lierly, said there is plenty of data to update the land use element
and he was reluctant to spend more funds on the consultants.
(7) Colleen Martin, 855 Olive Street, and Dr. Ed Gordon, 272 Tempus, said they
agreed with Mr. Titus.
(8) Otis Page, 606 Myrtle, said consultants were not needed and that if the
CommitteelTeam group "gets it wrong," it will hear about it.
-
(9) Howard Mankins, 200 Hillcrest Drive, said the real issues will come out when the
hearing process beings. He said the remainder of the money should be used in
getting to the hearing stage. He said the Council should carefully consider Ms.
VonAchen's remarks.
(10) Mr. Titus asked if the consultants had been moving "ahead on the other
elements.
Mayor Lady closed the discussion to the public and the Council began
consideration of the General Plan Update process.
In response to questions from Council Members Tolley and Runels, the City
Manager described the economic development portion of the consultants'
proposed work program. He said if the City directed the consultants to develop a
specific economic development strategy, it would require a modification to the
Envicom contract.
Council Member Dickens said the Long Range Planning Committee and the Core
Outreach Team need to decide what the Land Use Element will contain. He posted
a map of the City on the wall with blue areas representing indecisive issues. He
5
-.--.--.--
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
APRIL 13, 1999
said he had seen a General Plan prepared by Envicom for the City of American
Canyon and it was well-written and professional.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara, Mayor Lady, and Council Member Dickens said they
believed the Committee, Team, and staff could do the work on the Land Use Plan.
Council Member Dickens said other members of the public should be welcomed at
the CommitteelTeam meetings. He said objectives should be identified-first.
Council Member Tolley said he favored having the consultant facilitate the
discussions. .AII Council Members said it was necessary to stick to a time frame
and move forward in a timely manner. Council Member Runels said the economic
issue should not delay the update.
In response to a Council question, Interim Director Engen said he would not have
time to act as facilitator. City Manager Hunt said the process would not mOve
expeditiously if staff were to draft the elements.
After considerable discussion, Council Member Tolley moved and Council Member
Runels seconded the motion to send the matter back to the Long Range Planning
Committee/Core Outreach Team to meet within the next three weeks to discuss the
role of the consultant, ask the consultant for a revised scope of work, and report
back to the Council on the status of the CommitteelTeam's effort within
approximately 60 days.

11.A. AUTHORIZATION TO FORM AN ECONOMIC TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP AN
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
City Manager Hunt said staff recommended the City Council authorize the formation
of an Economic Task Force and select a Council Member to serve thereon.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara gave background on what has been done in the City
concerning Economic Development. He said considerable work has already been
done and there is a foundation for establishing a formal Economic Element of the
General Plan. He said a task force should be developed to work on the Element.
He said David Spaur, president of the Economic Vitality Corporation, was present to
speak about some core values that need to be understood.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
APRIL 13, 1999
Also speaking to the Council were Heather Jensen, Chamber Executive Director,
who $aid there is merit in having an Economic Development Task Force, that the
Task Force would ,benefit from guidance of a professional economic development
director, and that before the Task Force is established there should be specific
policies for the composition of its membership. She said the Chamber
recommended the following:
(a) One City Council representative and one Planning Commissioner
(b) Two representatives from the Chapter Board plus the Chamber CEO
(c) The City manager, Financial Services Director, and Community
Development Director
(d) A School Board Member and the Superintendent of Schools
(e) An Agribusiness representative
(f) A Utflities representative
(g) A Health Care representative
(h) A Financial representative
(i) Two representatives at large
Upon question by Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara, City Manager Hunt said initial steps were
taken to recruit an Economic Development Director for the City but the response to
the recruitment effort was unsatisfactory.
Ms. Jensen said much work has already been done and the Business Plan and the
Marketing Plan could be put into a Strategic Plan.
0
There was discussion of the formation of an Economic Task Force and the work of
the Long Range Planning Committee/Core Outreach Team starting at the same
point in time. Mr. Spaur said the timing was good, that the Economic Development
Plan recommended by the Chamber should be expedited, and the General Plan
Update consultant should be asked to work it into the Update.
Council Member Runels said he hoped the Council would be committed to fast
tracking new businesses in the City.
Mr. Brown said the information gathered in past years should reflect the thinking of
the current community at large.
Ms. Jensen said 80 percent of economic development is keeping the current
business community working. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara said the economic plan
could contain headings on redevelopment, supporting the existing business
community, and things that are important to Arroyo Grande. He said goals could
then be established, and an implementation strategy drafted.
Mike Frederick, president of Arroyo Linda Corporation, said he hoped the economic
development proposals would not hinder the progress of his development. Council

Member Runels said the Frederick development was exempted from the General
Plan Update. Other Council Members agreed that the development should not be
delayed by the economic plan.
City Attorney Carmel said it was up to the Council as to how much it wanted to
involve the Frederick annexation in the development of an economic plan process,
but it would be naive to say there is no relation between the two. He said the
Fredericks are free to move ahead with their application for a General Plan
Amendment but he did not see how Council could separate a proposed annexation
of that level from Council's economic policies and the proposed Economic Task
Force.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara and seconded by Mayor Lady that Council
recommend the formation of an Economic Task Force, that the City begin with the
recruitment of positions as described in the April 13, 1999 Arroyo Grande Valley
Chamber of Commerce memorandum distributed to Council, that staff be directed
to explore the feasibility and the budget to bring on board an Economic
Development Director, and that there be a connection as soon as possible between
the formation of the Task Force and the General Plan Update process.

Public Works Director Spagnolo said staff recommended the Council:
(1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City to utilize the California Uniform Public
Construction Cost Accounting procedures;
(2) Introduce for first reading the Ordinance to provide for bidding procedures
pursuant to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act; and
(3) Direct the Department of Administrative Services to notify the Office of State
Controller, in writing, of the City's decision to become subject to the Uniform Public
Construction Cost Accounting Act and forward a copy of the adopted resolution.
Mr. Spagnolo said the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act allows a
City to increase the amount of construction that can be accomplished using City

REGARDING AN EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE TO EVALUATE THE FORMATION OF
A JPA OR SPECIAL DISTRICT TO OPERATE LOPEZ DAM
(1) Council Member Runels introduced Noel King, Deputy San Luis Obispo County
Engineer-Administration, who referred to a letter to the County from Rick Searcy,
President of the Oceano Community Services District, proposing the formation of a
JPA or Special District to operate Lopez Dam and its associated recreational
facilities.
Mr. King listed concerns about considering the formation of a JPA or Special
District and refuted the points made by Mr. Searcy.
Council Members discussed the proposal with Council Member Runels, who is the
City representative on the Zone 3 Board. Council Member Runels recommended
not going forward on the issue at this time because of the dam retrofit that is
underWay, the Arroyo Grande Creek water rights discussion, and the problem with
flow in the main water line.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara said there were too many problems involved with forming a
JPA to operate the dam.
Council Member Tolley made a motion and Council Member Dickens seconded the
motion to file the request from Mr. Searcy and take no further action.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TERRY FIBICH, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND FIR~
SUBJECT: SALE OF SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS FOR THE
MILLENIUM CELEBRATION
DATE: APRIL 27,1999
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the sale and use of
safe and sane fireworks for the limited Millenium celebration period connected
with New Year's Eve 1999.
FUNDING:
Funds for the administration and monitoring of this program will be derived from
fees established by City Council Resolution 3220 (Attachment #1), resulting in a
revenue/expenditure neutral situation. Resolution 3220 establishes the permit
fee of $590 and conditions related to recovering the costs associated with the
sale of fireworks.
DISCUSSION:
On January 1, 1999, Assembly Bill 2090 became effective. The Bill authorizes
local governments the option of allowing the sale and use of safe and sane
fireworks from December 26, 1999 to January 1, 2000. Currently, State law and
Municipal ordinance allow sales only during seven days preceding the Fourth of
July. AB 2090 authorizes the City Council to adopt a resolution to permit eligible
non-profit organizations to sell fireworks and allow citizens of the City to use
them for the one-day period of New Year's Eve 1999. This legislation is effective
for this 6-day period only, and it then expires automatically.
The sale of safe and sane fireworks is regulated by Ordinance 492 C.S. This
ordinance establishes a lottery system for the selection of successful sales
permittees, as well as determining by a population-based formula, the number of
sales permits to be issued. One (1) permit is authorized per each 3000 residents
of the City or fraction thereof. Based on the latest population figures, the
calculation is as follows: 15,700+3000=5.23 or 6 permits.
CITY COUNCIL
SALE OF SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS FOR THE
MILLENIUM CELEBRATION
APRIL 27,1999
PAGE 2
If the number of applications exceeds the number of permits to be issued,
permits (not exceeding 6 in number) are granted by a lottery drawing. Upon
approval of the attached resolution, the same system of selection and
determination will be utilized. The process is initiated by the completion of an
application package by the prospective permittee. The application package
allows the permittee to show non-profit status, membership, proposed sales
location, proposed disposition of proceeds, and storage arrangements for
fireworks. The process for the Millenium celebration fireworks sale will begin in
September.
At the State level, the California State Fire Marshal has taken a neutral position
on this matter. Concern over the sales of fireworks has been the result of two
matters; personal safety and the threat to structures and wildland. Because of
the generally wet and cool environmental conditions during December and
January, the threat of outdoor fire is minimal. The remaining threat, that to
personal safety, has been minimized in Arroyo Grande by an active, educational,
field visitation approach by Department of Building and Fire personnel the day
before, and during the one-day period of authorized use.
Alternatives
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
-Approve staffs recommendation;
-Do not approve staffs recommendation;
-Modify as appropriate and approve staffs recommendation;
-Provide direction to staff.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT L. HUNT, CITY MANAGE~~
SUBJECT: CHANGE OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING TIME
DATE: APRIL 27,1999
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
. Introduce for first reading an ordinance modifying Title 2, Chapter 1, Article 1 of the
Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding the date and time for regular meetings of
the City Council;
. Adopt a resolution establishing 7 p.m. as the time City Council meetings shall begin,
effective July 1, 1999.
FUNDING:
None
DISCUSSION:
The City Council, at its meeting of April 13th, directed staff to initiate steps to change the
time of regular City Council meetings.
The proposed ordinance deletes from the Municipal Code any specific time for the
Council meeting and substitutes language indicating the time of the regular meeting
shall be set by resolution. Further, the ordinance modifies the current four-fifths vote of
the Council to change the time to a simple majority.
The resolution proposes to establish the meeting time of regular Council meetings at 7
p.m. Staff is further recommending that the change from 7:.30 p.m. to 7 p.m. not occur
until the first Council meeting of the new fiscal year (July 13, 1999). This delay in
making the change will provide the opportunity to ensure adequate notice is given to
citizens and all interested parties.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL ~
FROM: DANIEL C. HERNANDEZ, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
SUBJECT: REIMBURSEMENT OF FEES - SPECIAL OLYMPICS OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO COUNTY
DATE: APRIL 27,1999
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council proYide direction to staff regarding two (2) separate
reimbursement requests from Special Olympics of San Luis Obispo County for use of
the City of Arroyo Grande and Woman's Club Community Center on Friday, April 9 and
Monday, April 12, 1999.
FUNDING:
Approyal of the fee reimbursement requests 'NOuld result in a reduction of Community
Center rental fees of $330 ($250 for rental April 9, 1999 plus $80 for use April 12, 1999).
DISCUSSION:
Special Olympics of San Luis Obispo County completed separate reimbursement
requests for two different scheduled events.
Aoril 9. 1999 use reQuest: This event was a dance for Special Olympians. Special
Olympics of San Luis Obispo County is a nonprofit organization; howeyer, 50% of its
membership are not Arroyo Grande residents so it does not qualify for criteria item #1
on the Fee Waiver or Reduction Criteria Form (Attachment 1). The organization does
not provide 50% of its budget to support programs and actiyities specifically to City of
Arroyo Grande or Fiye Cities area clientele but rather for individuals throughout the
County and therefore does not qualify for criteria item #3 or #4. Special Olympics of
San Luis Obispo County qualifies for one (1) point rather than four (4) points on the Fee
Waiver or Reduction Criteria Form. Special Olympics of San Luis Obispo County has
not previously submitted a fee waiyer request to the City Council for use of the City of
Arroyo Grande and Woman's Club Community Center.
Calculation of Costs for April 9. 1999 event:
Current fees charoed to user orouc:
Rental Fee $250 per day for Friday through Sunday use.
Actual costs to the City:
$47. 81/hour x 6 hours (5:00 -11 :00 P.M.) = $286.86 (Attachment 2)

PAGE 2
Aoril 12. 1999 use reQuest: This event was a yolunteer orientation for the organization.
A request for reimbursement was submitted to the Parks and Rea-eation Commission at
its April 14th meeting for 2.5 hours of use at the City of Arroyo Grande and Woman's
Club Community Center. The score on the Fee Waiver or Reduction Criteria Form
(Attachment 3) submitted for this eyent should also be changed to two (2) points
because the organization does not consist of 50% Arroyo Grande residents. The
reason for the different score on the April 12th request as opposed to the April 9th
request is due to the fact the meeting on April 12th was scheduled for midweek (Monday
- Thursday) as per criteria item #7.
The reimbursement request for the April 12th eyent was not approYed by the Parks and
Recreation Commission due to a 2-2 yote (Commissioner Lozano and Vice Chair
Borgman yoting for approyal of the request, Commissioner Brown and Chairperson
Storton voting for denial of the request, Commissioner Martin was absent). Dick
Blankenburg, a representative of Special Olympics, requested that the Commission's
decision be appealed to the City Council.
Calculation 9f Costs for Aori112. 1999 eyent:
Current fees charced to user group:
Rental Fee $32/hour x 2 % hours (6:00 P.M. - 8:30 P.M.)= $80.00
Actual costs to the City:
$47.81/hour x 2 % hours (6:00 P.M. - 8:30 P.M.) = $119.53 (Attachment 2)
Alternatiyes:
The following alternatives are proyided for the Council's consideration:
. Approve the reimbursement requests;
. Do not approye the reimbursement requests;
. Modify the reimbursement requests as appropriate; or
. Proyide direction to staff.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER~
SUBJECT: GRAND AVENUE CORRIDOR STUDY;
STRIPING MODIFICATIONS FROM ELM STREET TO HALCYON ROAD
DATE: APRIL 27, 1999
RECOMMENDATION:
The Traffic Commission recommends the City Council approve the recommendations,
identified within this staff report, regarding the striping modifications on Grand Ayenue
between Elm Street and Halcyon Road.
FUNDING:
The FY 1998/99 Capital Improvement Program includes $30,000 as the amount available
for this corridor study. The cost to prepare this corridor study is $29,910 ($25,910 for
Higgins Associates and $4,000 for contract administration).
DISCUSSION:
On January 12, 1999, the City Council awarded the Grand Avenue/East Branch Street
Corridor Study contract to Higgins Associates. The purpose of the Study is to deyelop a
traffic plan for improving traffic capacity and safety along the corridor. The Study will look
at existing and future traffic conditions, on-street parking, lane and intersection striping,
medians, traffic signalization, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit system
improyements, and make recommendations for improyements. The Study will act as an
implementation plan for various future parking, striping, bicycle pedestrian and transit
system improvements on this corridor, such as the Grand Avenue, Elm Street to Halcyon
Road capital improvement project.
A current capital improvement project is the reconstruction of Grand Avenue from Halcyon
Road to Elm Street. In order to meet the timing for the construction project, staff requested
that Higgins Associates separately look at the area on Grand Ayenue between Elm Street
and Halcyon Road for any possible striping or median modifications. The full report on the
Corridor Study is scheduled to be presented to the City Council on May 25, 1999.
On April 12, 1999, a special meeting was held by the Traffic Commission concerning the
street striping within the area of Grand Avenue between Elm Street and Halcyon Road.
At the meeting, the Commissioners, along with some of the business owners on Grand
Avenue, raised questions and concerns regarding the project. These questions and
-" ---_.---- "_._-_._.__.._--~..- -
APRIL 27. 1999
GRAND AVENUE CORRIDOR STUDY
PAGE 2
concerns were forwarded to Higgins Associates for a response.
On April 16, 1999, Higgins Associates responded to the Commissioners' and business
owners' questions and concerns (attached).
On April 19, 1999, the Traffic Commission reyiewed and commented on the responses
from Higgins Associates. Attached is a comprehensive summary from Higgins Associates
along with the Commission's recommendations as to how these comments should be
incorporated into the Grand Avenue striping plans. It was the consensus of the
Commission to:
. Deny the request for bus turnouts on Grand" Avenue and keep the existing bus
stops;
. Provide a future conduit for the half signal installation at Brisco Road/Grand
Avenue;
. Place the future installation of the half signal at Brisco Road/Grand Avenue on the
traffic signalization fund priority list;
. Install the raised median at Grand Ayenue/Brisco Road as recommended by
Higgins Associates;
. Install the alternatiye of proYiding split phasing between the northbound and
southbound approaches on Halcyon Road;
. Deny the request to remove the landscape median between Alder Street and
Halcyon Road and keep as is;
. Deny the request to remove the raised median in front of the Mid-State Bank east
of the signalized crosswalk;
. Deny the request to provide a u-turn at Grand Ayenue and Alder Street; and,
. Deny the request to proYide more left turns between Halcyon Road and Elm Street.
The options for medians and striping as recommended by the Traffic Commission are
incorporated into the Grand Avenue construction plans. If the City Council elects to make
changes to any of the recommendations, there is an opportunity to reflect those changes
prior to receiving the construction bids scheduled for May 27, 1999 (through the bid
amendment process).

MEMORANDUM
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: GRAND A VENUE CORRIDOR STUDY;
ELM STREET TO HALCYON ROAD
DATE: APRIL 12,1999
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Traffic Commission review and comment on the attached plan.
FUNDING:
The FY 1998/99 Capital Improvement Program includes $30,000 as the amount available
for this corridor study. The estimated cost to prepare this corridor study is $29,910
($25,910 for Higgins Associates and $4,000 for contract administration).
DISCUSSION:
On January 12, 1999, the City Council awarded the Grand Avenue/East Branch Street
(State Route 227) Corridor study contract to Higgins Associates. The purpose of the study
is to develop a traffic plan for improving traffic capacity and safety along the corridor. The
study will look at existing and future traffic conditions, on-street parking, lane and
intersection striping, medians, traffic signalization, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit
system improvements, and make recommendations for improvements. The study should
act as an implementation plan for various future parking, striping, bicycle, pedestrian and
transit system improvements on this corridor, such as the Grand Avenue, Elm Street to
Halcyon Road, capital improvement project.
Staff will be seeking approval to solicit construction bids for the Grand Avenue, Elm Street
to Halcyon Road, project from the City Council at its April 27, 1999, meeting.
Therefore, it is recommended the Traffic Commission review the portion of the study that
coincides with the Phase II improvements to Grand Avenue between Elm Street to Halcyon
Road. The Commission's comments, along with the proposed improvements, will be
presented to the City Council at its April 27, 1999, meeting.

Subject: Grand Avenue Striping Modifications - Elm Street to Halcyon Road
Dear Larry:
At the special meeting on April 12, 1999, the Traffic Commission reviewed and commented
on the recommended striping as shown on Attachment B (Sheets 3 and 4) on Grand
Avenue between Elm Street to Halcyon Road. It was the consensus of the Commission
that Option 2 be installed between Brisco Road and Elm Street.
The Commission also had several questions which would need your response. They are
as follows:
-
Sheet 3
. Could bus turn-outs be provided on Grand Avenue?
. Explain the installation of the Half-Signal at Brisco Road/Grand Ayenue?
. Could there be other types of State or Federal fU'.1ding for the Half-Signal?
. Could the raised median across Brisco Road be tapered to avoid any conflicts with
oncoming traffic?
Sheet 4
. Could a left-turn arrow for northbound and southbound traffic at Halcyon Road and
Grand Avenue be installed?
. Could the existing landscape median between Alder Street and Halcyon Road be
removed to provide a two-way center median?
. Could the existing left-turn pocket and raised median in front of the Mid-State Bank
east of the signalized crosswalk be removed to provide a two-way center median?
Other comments and suggestions were raised from the business owners on Grand
Avenue. They are as follows:
. Could a U-Turn be provided on Grand Avenue at Alder Street?
. Could there be more left-turns provided between Haicyon Road and Elm Street?
-~ __n__.._ ----._-----------------_..- " -
Please review the above comments and provide a written response by Thursday, April 15,
1999, so that these.comments can be included in a report to the City Counc!1. You may
fax your response to (805) 473-5443.
If you should have any further questions, you may contact Albert Ducusin,Engineering
Technician, at (805) 473-5446. .
Thank you for your timely response and assistance.

RE: Grand Avenue Striping Modifications - Elm Street to Halcyon Road
Dear Don,
The following are my responses to questions that were raised at the April 12, 1999 Traffic
Commission meeting regarding the restriping of Orand Avenue between Elm Street and Halcyon
Road. This is a project that is currently in design and anticipated to be advertised for bidding within
the next month or so. Your questions were forwarded to Larry Hail of our office in a letter dated
April 13, 1999. My responses follow the list included in your letter.
A. Sheet 3 -
1. Could bus turnouts be provided on Grand AveJJ1le? The constraints to installing bus
turnouts along Grand Avenue include the fact that a 10' sidew&lk must be
maintained and that there is a substantial amount of existing commercial
development that is built with zero setback from the back of sidewalk. Locations
where buildings are not located immediately adjacent to the back of sidewa1k have
parking lots or other types of improvements on the adjoining private property. It
is conceivable that a 5 foot wide bus turnout could be provided while maintaining
a 5 foot sidewalk, which would probably require a variance fTom the City's nonnal
10 foot sidewalk standard. HoweverJ this would not allow for seating nor for a bus
shelter at the bus stop. It is recormnended that bus stops primarily be located where
there is existing on-street parking that can be converted into a "No Par~' zone.
There would be substantial cost and delay to the overlay project associated with
attempting to provide a full bus turnout with standard approach and departure
tapers with IOfoot sidewalk due to the requirement for Right-of. W ay acquisition
and modification of off-street, private property improvements. Some typical details
for bus turnouts and bus stops are attached.

signal at the Brisco Road/Grand A venue intersection would include traffic signal
control for southbound Brisco Road) eastbound Grand Avenue left turns and
westbound Grand A venue through movements. The traffic signal wouJd not controJ
tbe eastbound through movement on Grand Avenue, thus the term "half signal)).
The only movement that the eastbound Grand Avenue through movement conflicts
with at this intersection is the southbound left turn movement from Brisco Road.
This can be made by providing an adequate median acceleration lane to propedy
merge the left turn movement into the eastbound Grand A venue traffic flow. This
would occur essentially as it takes place. The advantage of a half-signal is it does
not require signal coordination with the Elm Street signal for eastbound Grand
Avenue traffic because they are allowed to depart trom the Elm. Street intersection
and continue through Brisco Road uncontrolled. There can then be very precise
signal coordination for westbound Grand Avenue traffic proceeding through Brisco
Road and then Elm Street. We recently completed the design of a haJf signal at the
State 1 56/Castroville Boulevard intersection in North Monterey County. CaJtrans
recently converted an existing full intersection to a half signal at the State Route
IS6IPrunedale North Road intersection also in North Monterey County. We a1so
designed a traffic si~al at the State Route ,lICarmel Valley Road intersection in the
mouth of Cannel Valley near Cannel on the Monterey Peninsula. This is sOmewhat
different than the type of half signal we are discussing for Grand AvenueIBrisco
because there is no westbound left turn movement from Carmel VaDey Road onto
southbound Highway 1, so there is no merge issue needed to be de,sjgned into that
particular system.
One other consideration that favors the use of a half signal at the Grand
AvenuelBrisco Road intersection is the fact that the southbound left turn movement
from Brisco Road onto eastbound Grand Avenue is relatively small. It showd be
able to easily be accommodated by an acceleration lane to provide a merge into the
eastbound Grand Avenue through movement.
3. Could there be other types of State or Federal funding for the half signal? To my
knowledge there is no unique aspect of the half signal that would result in it having
any higher priority for funding than the installation of a standard traffic signal. The
City of Arroyo Grande could attempt to obtain hazard elimination safety funding in
order to improve accident history at this location. The half signal could also be
added to the City's traffic impact fee because tbe signal win be more clearly
W8ITanted as traffic volumes increase in the future at tbis location. It should be
noted that the cost of a half signal is less than the cost of a standard traffic signal
because there would be no signal detection or signal indications for eastbound
Grand Avenue. You would also not be able to provide pedestrian crosswalks at this
location because pedestrians would not be protected across the eastbound travel
lanes. This would reduce the cost of equipment including detectors, poles, signal
heads, pull-boxes and conduit. The cost would be somewhere between two-thirds

04/16/1999 17:48 4088482202 HIGGINS ASSOCIATES PAGE 04
and t~fOurth5 of the cost of a standard traffic signal installation. Tbi$ does make
it somewhat more affordable than a standard tca:ffic signal.
4. Could the raised median across Brisco Road be tapered to avoid any contHcts with
on-coming tTaffic? This question appears to be related to the potential of
southbound Brisco Road to eastbound Grand Avenue left turns exiting the
acceleration lane and conflicting with on-coming traffic attempting to make a left
turn from westbound Grand Avenue into a driveway on the south side of Grand
Avenue. The raised median could be modified to allow traffic to exit the
acceleration lane prior to reaching the end of the acceleration lane. ThiS could be
accomplished by converting the raised median to an eight inch lane line channelizing
stripe (detai138) in the portion of the acceleration lane nearest to Brisco Road. Tbi$
eight inch white stripe could then become an eight inch dashed lane drop stripe
(detail37B). This would allow vehicles to cross the stripe between the acceleration
lane and the inside (1) eastbound Grand Avenue through lane before reaching the
end of the acceleration lane.
B. Sheet 4 -
1. Could a left turn arrow for northbot1nd and southbound n-afficat Halcyon Road and
Grand A venue be installed? A northbound left turn arrow can be installed on
Halcyon Road because a left turn lane is provided. However. there is no exclusive
left turn lane for southbound traffic at this intersection. Unless the striping is
changed to provide for a separate left turn lane. a left turn arrow cannot be provided
- for the southbound approach. It is acceptable to provide a left tw11 arrow for tbe
northbound approach but not to provide one for the southbound approach. The
accident history at this location clearly indicates that the northbound left turn
movement is the problematic movement with respect to traffic safety. An
alternative that could also be considered is to provide split phasing between the
northb01md and southbound approaches. The northbound approaCh would bave a
gr~ signal indication for both left turns and through m.ovements while southbound
approach is stopped. Subsequently a green indication could be provided for
southbound lefts and througbs while stopping the northbound traffic. Interestingly,
the addition of signal phases to acconunodate exclusive left turn movements on
northboWld Halcyon Road would actually improve the overall level of service at this
intersection because the northbound left turn movement CWTent1y does not have
adequate capacity for the existing demand. The level of service will probably
improve with the installation of left tum phasing while also improving traffic safety.
2. Could the existing landscape median between Alder Street and Halcyon Road be
removed to provide a two~way center median? Yes. This would then be
comparable to Grand Avenue west of Elm Street where a two-way left turn lane is
provided all the way to the Grover Beach city limits.

3. Could the existing left turn pocket and raised median in front of the Midstate Bank
east of the signalized crosswalk be removed to provide a two-way center median?
Yes, as indicated in item 2 regarding the landscape median between Alder and
Halcyo~ provide a standard two-way median left turn lane similar to what is
provided on a substantial amount of Grand Avenue west of this location.
C. Miscellaneous Comments and Suggestions -
1. Could a u-turn be provided on Grand Avenue at Alder Street? Our field
measurements indicate that there is currently 45 feet between the white channelizing
stripe for the existing left turn lane and the south curb line on Grand Avenue. This
would be wide enough to acconunodate most vehicles because the turning diameter
to make a u-turn for most passenger cars is about 45 feet or less. However, there
are a number oflarger passenger cars as well as pickup trucks that require up to a
48 foot turning diameter to make a u-turn. These vehicles would be able to
encroach slightly into the throat of Alder Street. However, 'my experience in
designing other arterials is that vehicles would regularly be' required to either
perfonn a back up movement to complete the u-turn or would' mount the curb while
attempting to complete the u-turn movement. The u-turns therefore cannot be
provided on Grand Avenue at Alder Street.
2. Could there be more left turns provided between Halcyon Road and Elm Street?
The entire median of Grand Avenue between Halcyon Road and EhnStreet could
be converted to a two-way left turn lane wit~ the exception of the section near
Brisco Road and Elm Street and the eastbound Grand Avenue approach at Halcyon
Road. Exclusive left turn channelization would need to be provided at these
locations. Exclusive left turn channefu:ation should also be provided at Alder
Street. This would result in this entire section being similar to what is provided
between Cortland Street and Elm Street. That section of Grand Avenue has a
relatively low accident history. The installation of a continuous two-w~y left turn
lane is a standard median treatment for four-lane arterials.
If you have any questions regarding these responses, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you
for the opportunity to assist you with this project.

General Note; 4
Bus turnouts are widened seCtions of roadway designed for buses to pull out of t
the traffic stream. While advantageous to the general traffic, turnouts make it
difficult for buses to re-enter the flow of traffic. They should therefore be ..
used only under special eireumstances. COnsult whh MST staff ~

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER ~
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS-
GRAND AVENUE - ELM STREET TO HALCYON ROAD,
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 60-70-90-98-6
DATE: APRIL 27, 1999
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the solicitation of bids for the Grand
Avenue - Elm Street to Halcyon Road capital improvement project.
FUNDING:
The FY 1998/99 Capital Improvement Program Budget includes $1,561,500 as the
construction budget available. The estimated cost for construction is $1,561,500.
DISCUSSION:
Two town hall meetings were held with the business owners on Grand Avenue to discuss
the oyerall project design and to hear property owner concerns so that measures to lessen
business impacts could be incorporated into the project. The first town hall meeting held
on October 2, 1998, was scheduled with the business owners to gain community input
before the start of the design. The second town hall meeting held on March 9, 1999,
discussed the overall project schedule, delivery access to the businesses and residents,
and possible night time construction. Staff will schedule a town hall meeting at the
beginning of June 1999 prior to the start of the construction to resolve any outstanding
issues (such as finalizing a decision on night construction).
Because the Grand Avenue - Elm Street to Halcyon Road capital improvement project lies
within the Grand Avenue/East Branch Street Corridor Study (awarded to Higgins
Associates by the Council on January 12, 1999), staff requested that Higgins look at this
area for any possible striping modifications to be incorporated into the striping plans. A
recent study on the Grand Avenue/East Branch Street Corridor Study has been compiled
by Higgins Associates. The study deyelops a traffic plan for improYing traffic capacity and
safety along the conidor including existing and future traffic conditions, on-street parking,
lane and intersection striping, medians, traffic signalization, bicycle pedestrian and transit
system improvements.
On April 19, 1999, the Traffic Commission reviewed and commented on the responses
from Higgins Associates. The Commission's recommendations impact the design of the
,.- ~
APRIL 27, 1999
AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS
PAGE 2
striping plans for the Grand Avenue - Elm Street to Halcyon Road capital improvement
project. These recommendations are stated in the Grand Ayenue Corridor Study staff
report dated April 27, 1999. The options for medians and striping as recommended by the
TraffIC Commission are incorporated into the Grand Ayenue construction plans. If the City
Council elects to make changes to any of the recommendations, there is an opportunity
to reflect those changes prior to receiving the construction bids scheduled for May 27,
1999 (through the bid amendment process).
The project consists of reconstructing the roadway on Grand Avenue between Elm Street
and Halcyon Road including improvements for storm drain inlets; sewer mains (replacing
and installing laterals to all lots); water mains (replacing all services, most meterslboxes,
and installing new fire-hydrants); reconstructing paving, curb, gutter, sidewalk, cross
gutters; and installing a dry conduit system for future underground utilities. The project
also includes provisions to perform night time construction at the intersections of Grand
Avenue/Elm Street and Grand Ayenue/Halcyon Road due to the potential traffic impacts
during the day.
It is anticipated that construction will begin on June 25, 1999 and be completed within 180
calendar days or, by December 22, 1999.
The undergrounding of the electrical utilities on the completed first phase of Grand Avenue
between Barnett Street and Halcyon Road will be performed by PG&E. The work is
presently in design and PG&E anticipates starting the work to remove the overhead lines
in mid-July 1999. Undergrounding for the second phase of Grand Avenue between
Halcyon Road and Elm Street will be performed when funds from Rule 2M become
available (no estimate presently ayailable from PG&E); however, conduits that cross Grand
Avenue will be installed as part of the Phase Two work. Rule 20A, established by the
Public Utilities Commission (PUC), requires that PG&E allocate funds for the conversion
of overhead to underground facilities.

Steve,
Per our discussion yesterday.
Here are my thoughts regarding what the Council should do regarding the Land-
Use part of the General Plan;
I - The Council should decide the City's policy on annexation. It should decide
. where and how far to expand. This decision would be subject to hearings by the
Planning Commission and analysis by Staff and consultants before a final
determination is made.
- Example: decide on the objective to expand south of the City.
_0 As far as the end of the Wiliams property? Or as far as Los Berros Road,.
for those who want to come into the City?
n - The Council should establish the "first version" of the new Land-Use Map for
the City. The survey results are the guide for the Council.
The new "first version" Land-Use Map should be given to the Planning Commission
for hearings. The backlog of applications of proposed plan revisions could be used
to establish the final recommendation to the Council on the "final version" of the
Land-Use Map for the General Plan. .
m - What is the task for the Long Range Plan Committee and the Core group of
Citizens? Interface to the Consultants on all other aspects of the General Plan
except the land-use element. Actually the Long Range Plan Committee is really is
not required. But it could act as a part of the Core group to work with the
Consultants.
The first version of the land-use element could get the Consultants started subject to
changes based upon the final land-use version approved by the City council.
It is important to realize the City Council is the "legislative" body of the City. It has
delegated to the Planning Commission the authority (City Municipal Code) to
review and make recommendations on the General Plan. This direction is consistent
with Section 65353 of the State Law, which specifies, "When a city or county has a
planning commission authorized by local ordinance or resolution to review and
recommend action on a proposed general plan or proposed amendments to the
general plan (etc.).
