WHEREAS, the EIR has been prepared and circulated for public .review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's Rules and Procedures for Implementation of CECA and the CECA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, a Final Environmental Impact Report for the Project and responses to the comments raised during the public review period and at the public hearings has been prepared which incorporates written responses to comments received on the Draft EIR in accordance with CEQA and the City's CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande held duly noticed public hearings on July 18, July 19, July 25, and August 7, 2001, and the City Council held duly noticed public hearings on July 31, August 16, August 23, August 28, September 4, September 6, October 3, and October 9, 2001 at which all interested persons were given the opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande has adopted Resolution No. 3554' certifying that the Final EIR was completed in compliance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA Procedures; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report on the 2001 General Plan Update. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande as follows: 1. The City Council certifies that it has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Project. 2. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the implementation of the Project may have a significant effect on the environment. RESOLUTION NO. 3555 PAGE 2 3. The City Council hereby finds with respect to the adverse environmental impacts detailed in the Final EIR: a. that, based on information set forth in the Final EIR and in the Statement of Significant Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit HA" and incorporated herein by reference, mitigation measures have been incorporated into the Project that will avoid or substantially lessen the adverse environmental impacts on circulation/transportation, water supply, and air quality identified in the Final EIR; b. that, based on information set forth in the Final EIR and in the Statement of Significant Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures, the adverse environmental effects related to circulation/transportation are significant environmental effects that cannot be entirely mitigated or avoided if the Project is approved because they are regional in nature and cannot be mitigated by the City policies alone; c. that, based on information set forth in the Final EIR and in the Statement of Significant Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures the adverse effects related to water resources are significant environmental effects that cannot be entirely mitigated or avoided if the project is approved because water resources are utilized by other cities, the county, special districts and numerous individuals, businesses, and agriculture not under the control of the City of Arroyo Grande; d. that, based on information set forth in the Final EIR and in the Statement of Significant Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures the adverse effects related to air quality are significant environmental effects that cannot be entirely mitigated or avoided if the project is approved because changes to land use and circulation patterns outside the City limits, particularly in the unincorporated area are not subject to the City's jurisdiction and the Clean Air Plan is the responsibility of the Air Pollution Control District and also not subject to the jurisdiction of the City of Arroyo Grande. e. that no additional adverse impacts will have a significant effect or result in a substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in the environment as a result of Project approval; ___...__. nl RESOLUTION NO. 3555 PAGE 3 f. that all significant environmental effects identified in the Final EIR have been reduced to an acceptable level in that: (1 ) all significant environmental effects that can feasibly be avoided have been eliminated or substantially reduced as determined through the findings set forth in this Resolution; (2) based upon the Final EIR and Statement of Significant Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures and other documents in the record, specific economic, social, and other considerations make infeasible other project alternatives identified in the Final EIR; (3) based on the Final EIR and the Statement of. Significant Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures, and other documents in the record, all remaining, unavoidable significant environmental effects of the 2001 General Plan Update are overridden by the benefits of the Project as described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit "Bn and incorporated herein by reference, which Statement of Overriding Considerations is hereby approved and adopted by the City Council. 4. The City Council authorizes and directs that the Director of Administrative Services promptly file a Notice of Determination with respect to the Final EIR for the Project, specifically referencing therein that mitigation measures have been made a condition of project approval, findings have been made pursuant to Section 15091 of the CEOA Guidelines, and that a Statement of Overriding Considerations has been adopted.

Some require implementation on a regional basis or primarily require County, LAFCO, APCD, Caltrans or other agency approval and/or implementation. If these regional measures are established and enforced, air quality, traffic circulation, and water resources might be mitigated to a less than significant level. Until these regional measures are implemented, . adoption of the 2001 General Plan Update may involve unavoidable significant impacts based on City approval alone. Therefore, CEQA findings and a statement of overriding consideration are needed to explain why the City considers these potentially significant Impacts as unavoidable but acceptable. The City Council has weighed the benefits of the proposed 2001 General Plan Update adoption against its unavoidable potentially significant environmental Impacts. Based on. consideration of the record as a whole, the City Council finds that the benefits of the 2001 General Plan Update outweigh the unavoidable and potentially significant environmental impacts and make adoption acceptable. The following are speCific benefits of the 2001 General Plan Update which outweigh the unavoidable potentially significant adverse environmental impacts and make adoption of the Update acceptable: 1) Clrculationrrransportation impacts are regional in nature and cannot be effectively mitigated by City policies alone. However, the Circulationrrransportation Element provides for coordinated circulation planning and land use objectives that enable continued improvement of a regional functional classification system of streets and highways; proposes to attain and maintain a Level of Service 'C'; encourages multi-modal alternatives to new street and highway construction; promotes environmental balance including energy conservation, reduction of air and noise pollution and emphasizes transit, bike and pedestrian modes where feasible; and seeks regional and County cooperation. All of these objectives and related policies are intended to infiuence transportation/circulation standards, improvement projects and Implementation measures related to continued growth and development enabled by the 2001 General Plan Update. Without adoption of the 2001 General Plan Update objectives and policies, the same unavoidable potentially significant adverse effects would be experienced without the substantial benefits of better balanced circulation/transportation policies within the City. 2) Current estimates of regional water resources available during drought periods may be more or less than the City's currently available municipal water supply sources as documented in the City of Arrovo Grande Water Master Plan and Urban Water Manaaement Plan. This is because these water resources are also utilized by the Cities of Grover Beach and Pismo Beach, the Oceano and Nipomo Community Services Districts, the County of San Luis Obispo and hundreds of individual private agricultural and Rural and Suburban Residential wells. These other jurisdictions and users are not under the control of the City of Arroyo Grande. Continued agricultural irrigation and projected unincorporated area growth and development, particularly the responsibility of the County of San Luis Obispo to manage, make it Infeasible for the City of Arroyo Grande to mitigate water resource impacts to potentially less than significant. However, the 2001 General Plan Update contains principles, objectives and policies related to the conservation of water resources and reduced consumption within the City which better manage and limit land use and urban development tothat which can likely be sustained by available water resources. 3) Until compliance with State air quality standards Is attained and the Clean Air Plan is amended, potential regional air quality impacts can be reduced but not to a level of less than significant.. Changes to land use and circulation patterns outside the City limits, particularly in the unincorporated County Residential Rural and Suburban Arroyo Grande Fringe Area require approval by the County of San Luis Obispo as would continued regional growth In the Nipomoarea of South County. Amendment of the Clean Air Plan Is also beyond the control and jurisdiction of the City of Arroyo Grande, being the responsibility of the Air Pollution Control District (APCD). However, the 2001 General Plan Update contains policies which will partially mitigate air quality impacts arising from within the City, including those requiring mixed use and compact community development and Increased multi-model alternative transportation, which will reduce trips and vehicle miles traveled compared to the 1990 Plan. 4) The proposed land use categories, densities, allowed uses, development and design standards reflect, in part, requests of affected property owners and review of proposals by advisory committee, Planning Commission and Oty Council to determine more compatible land use patterns and acceptable development standards and design criteria than currently In effect in the 1990 Arroyo Grande General Plan ("1990 Plan''); 5) The proposed land use classifications provide a better balance of reasonable use considering generalized environmental constraints and resource considerations. The changes to the 1990 General Plan Land Use Element proposed by the 2001 General Plan Update promote more opportunities for mixed uses, higher density residential development, better jobs - housing balance, more compact urban form, more efficient use of existing infrastructure, and more compatible land use patterns than the 1990 plan. The adoption of the 2001 General Plan Update will promote controlled urban growth within the City at a slower average annual rate and with better urban services than under the 1990 Plan. 2 - ---- 6) The 2001 General Plan Update provides for planned development of useable but vacant, undeveloped or underdeveloped parcels within the established subdivision pattern. Planned development will provide opportunities for construction and new business employment and contribute to increased revenue from additional property and sales taxes, a positive economic impact on the fiscal health of the City compared to negative impacts of significant expense for denial of reasonable use. 7) The Agriculture, Conservation and Open Space Element contain objectives to encourage preservation of prime farmland and natural environmentally sensitive resources and habitat areas, and conserve non-prime, scenic resources and buffer areas. These objectives are intended to protect and minimize impacts to the environment including new initiatives that will only be established upon adoption of the 2001 General Plan Update. Beneficial protection, preservation and conservation of productive agriculture and natural resource areas outweigh the possible significant advers.e impacts associated with utilization of limited water resources and/or air quality problems related to agricultural irrigation, dust and other compatibility concerns. 8) The Urban Area Land Use Element contains objectives including many new policies intended to accommodate a diversity of housing types and densities; . provide for adequate medical and professional office uses, commercial and other mixed uses to serve the area population; to enhance the Village and other business areas of the City; to provide for Community Facilities, Planned Development and Specific Plan areas deserving of special site development consideration; to promote land use that protects the Integrity of existing development and considers finite resource and existing infrastructure constraints, and protects rural setting and small town character by community design and development standards. The beneficial social function and aesthetic affects of these community design and development standards enabled by new uses and better controlled growth outweigh the potential unavoidable adverse Impacts identified in the Final EIR. 9) The Housing Element provides for affordable housing Incentives; enables housing compatible with commercial and office uses in Mixed Use and Village Core districts; and promotes housing conservation. The social and economic opportunities to create a better jobs-housing balance and provide for more affordable housing types and densities are largely dependent on allowing continued growth and development within the City. These social and economic benefits outweigh the potential traffic, water resources and air quality Impacts projected due to continued regional population growth and related development. 10) The Economic Development Element, derived from an already adopted economic development strategy, is primarily intended to reinforce the existing job base by 3 i J local business retention and expansion and promote additional base level jobs; enhance a balanced community image; encourage agriculture, housing, business, retail and service commercial sectors and tourism; and improve pro-business development processes. These economic development strategies, particularly additional employment, business and housing development outweigh the potentially significant adverse environmental impacts associated with regional water resource, traffic and air quality constraints identified in the Final EIR. 11) The Park and Recreation, Noise and Safety Elements propose additional park and recreation and sport facility improvements to existing public Jacilities;promote systems of trails, bike routes, and pedestrian areas; propose future park development with continued population growth; protect citizens from excessive noise and prevent incompatible uses and traffic; improve emergency preparedness; and reduce flood, fire, geologic and seismic and other hazards. The social and environmental benefits of these proposed changes, associated with continued growth and development, outweigh the potentially significant adverse impacts identified in the Final EIR. 12) Additional population growth and economic activity which may occur through adoption of the 2001 General Plan Update would have similar adverse environmental effects wherever they occur within the South County and San Luis Bay Planning Areas. The City considers these impacts less severe if more of the growth and development are accommodated within and adjacent to existing urban areas compared to similar growth in remaining rural areas of the region. State and County populations are projected to increase at approximately one and two percent annually for the next twenty years and the City cannot ignore, nor alone alter these trends. The City's planned residential and non-residential growth rate for this same period, at approximately one percent, is at the low end of the range projected for State and County. Among the social and economic benefits of controlled growth and development in the City of Arroyo Grande are: a) reinforcement and enhancement of the Village Core as a community and visitor serving, pedestrian oriented commercial and compatible mixed area; b) restructuring and revitalizing of E. Grand Avenue General Commercial area into a Mixed Use corridor including more attractive shopping, increased employment opportunities, and compatible office, services and residential developments; c) improvement of EI Camino Real Industrial and Traffic Way General Commercial areas into Mixed Use corridor and gateway areas more diversified and attractive than previous development; and, d) increased opportunities for multiple family residential housing that tends to be more affordable than prior large lot single family. These social and economic benefits outweigh the potential significant adverse impacts identified in the Final EIR. 4 --------.-- J RESOLUTION NO. 3555 OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION t I, KELLY WETMORE, Director of Administrative Services/Deputy City Clerk of the City of Arroyo Grande, County of San Luis Obispo, State of Califomia, do hereby certify under penalty of perjury, that Resolution No. 3555 is a true, full, and correct copy of said Resolution passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande on the gth day of October, 2001.
