APPLIED FOR BY STEPHEN COOL AND GARY WHITE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande has considered Conditional

WHEREAS, the City Council has found that this project is consistent with the General
Plan and the environmental documents associated therewith; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed this project in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA), the State CEOA Guidelines, and the
Arroyo Grande Rules and Procedures for Implementation of CEOA and has
determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration can be adopted; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after due study, deliberation and public hearing,
the following circumstances exist:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
Conditional Use Permit Findings:
1. The proposed use is permitted within the Highway Service (H-S) District of the
Oak Park Acres Planned Development (PD 1.1) pursuant to Section 9-03.050
of the Development Code, and complies with all applicable provisions of the
Development Code, the goals and objectives of the Arroyo Grande General
Plan, and the development policies and standards of the City.
2. The proposed use will not impair the integrity and character of the district in
which it is to be established or located because the proposed use is similar to
surrounding uses.
3. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use or development that is
proposed because all the necessary easements, circulation, parking and
setbacks would be provided.
4. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure the public health and safety.
~.,-_._--_..,._._..__..
RESOLUTION NO. 3544
PAGE 2
5. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity
because the proposed project would not create adverse environmental impacts.
Variance Findings:
1. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the maximum wall height
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship not
otherwise shared by others within the surrounding area because a strict
interpretation of the Development Code does not take into consideration the
sloping topography of the project site.
2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply
generally to other properties classified in the same zone. Specifically, the project
site rises considerably from West Branch Street and requires a retaining wall to
hold back the slope for any development on the property. A combination retaining
wall and railing is necessary for safety purposes along the access driveway.
Complying with the maximum six-foot (6') height limit would require excessive
grading and oak tree removal.
3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the maximum wall height
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties classified in the same zone because other surrounding property
owners have combination wall/fences of similar heights.
4. The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone
because surrounding properties have wall/fences of similar heights.
5. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
6. The granting of a variance is consistent with the objectives and policies of the
General Plan and the intent of the Development Code.
Architectural Review Findings:
1. The proposal is consistent with the "General Architectural Review Guidelines"
for the City of Arroyo Grande.
2. The proposal is consistent with the text and maps of the Arroyo Grande
General Plan, and the City of Arroyo Grande Development Code.
3. The proposal will not be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort and general
welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed
project.
4. The general appearance of the proposed building is consistent with the
character of the neighborhood because the size and design are consistent with
other buildings in the vicinity.
----------
RESOLUTION NO. 3544
PAGE 3
5. The proposal is not detrimental to the orderly and harmonious development of
the City.
6. The proposal will not impair the desirability of investment or occupation in the
neighborhood.
Required CEOA Findings:
1. The City of Arroyo Grande has prepared an initial study pursuant to Section
15063 of the Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEaA),
for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 99-013.
2. Based on the initial study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for
public review. A copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and related
materials is located at City Hall in the Community Development Department.
3. After holding a public hearing pursuant to State and City Codes, and
considering the record as a whole, the City Council adopts a negative
declaration and finds that there is no substantial evidence of any significant
adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively on wildlife resources as
defined by Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code or on the habitat upon
which the wildlife depends as a result of development of this project. Further,
the Council finds that said Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the City's
independent judgment and analysis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande hereby adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration, instructs the Director of
Administrative Services to file a Notice of Determination, and approves Conditional
Use Permit Case No. 99-013 and Variance Case No. 01-001, with the above findings
and subject to the conditions, mitigation measures and monitoring program as set
forth in Exhibit n An, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
