Wayne King, representing the owners of the Vanderveen property, quoted from the
CASP Study regarding definition of prime agricultural land. He spoke in favor of
converting the Vanderveen property from agriculture to medium density single-family
residential.
Mary Vanderveen, Branch Mill Road, stated that the decisions the Council make
affect lives. She spoke in support of converting the Vanderveen property from
agriculture to single-family residential.
Ed Cardoza, 428 Greenwood Drive, expressed concerns about the condition of
Branch Mill Road. He stated that the Council's prime concem with further
development in that area should be safe access to Branch Mill Road. He stated
currently, Branch Mill Road was not safe and stated that resurfacing would be
welcome. He expressed further concerns with regard to the blind tums and hills, and
some areas that bottleneck on Branch Mill Road. He concluded by stating he was
not against development; however, he was concemed it be handled in a responsible
way.
Howard Mankins, 200 Hillcrest Drive, stated he was one of the few people who have
preserved agricultural land, his ranch is in an agriculture preserve, and that was his
choice. He stated he had watched the City grow over the years and believes that
property rights are a major issue. He said if property owners want to preserve their
land, there are tools to do that. He stated the City needs to focus on developing a
plan that addresses traffic and streets. He urged the Council to plan properly for the
City's development.
Otis Page, 606 Myrtle, thanked the Council for its arduous task in developing the
General Plan and commented that tonight the Council would be discussing the
policies on agriculture. He stated that when discussing water as a barrier to
development in the City, there is no problem with water; in discussing the traffic
issue, it is known from the consultant's testimony that the traffic model cannot be
used without proper data to make decisions about what the City should do with traffic.
He said a sound policy has been developed in that area. He stated that as the
Council considers agriculture, it should also consider the rights of people to develop
their property. He stated that the General Plan is a plan to guide development.
Pat Cusack, 1080 Newsom Springs Road, spoke in support of Mr. Vanderveen's
conversion request. He commented he had followed all of the work that has gone
into the General Plan Update, and appreciated the opportunity for providing input.
He spoke in favor of preserving as much agricultural land as possible, while at the
same time acknowledging there are certain situations that may call for some
considerations for people to convert and develop property. He supported the
residential zoning of the Vanderveen property as well as the Cherry Avenue property.

Carie Randolph spoke in support of saving agricultural lands, and stated she
understood that property owners have property rights, although the lands in question
have always been zoned as agriculture. She stated that most of the public voted to
preserve the agricultural lands.
Colleen Martin, 855 Olive, stated that the previous speaker was probably referring to
the survey that was done four years ago. She reminded the Council what the survey
said, that over 88% of those surveyed said save our prime agricultural land. She
requested the Council reflect back on the results of that survey.
5. CONSIDERATION OF THE 20p1 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE POLICY DOCUMENTS
AND ELEMENTS AND FINAL EtiVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FEIR)
AGRICULTURE and CONSERVATION/OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
Consultant Strong stated he would begin a review of the Agriculture Element policies.
He clarified that from the previous public hearings, the Council has gone through the
policies and objectives in the other Elements, identifying by consensus any changes. He
stated the Council had made partial progress in reviewing the Agriculture Element and
had requested some alternatives. He distributed a memo depicting anticipated objective
and policy alternatives for the Council's review and discussion. He then explained that
other policy statements have been considered and changes that had received consensus
were reflected in the Plan.
Consultant Strong explained there was one objective in the Agriculture Element (Ag1)
that had a need for further consideration of refined wording. He acknowledged that there
had been concems expressed about the definition of prime farmland soils. He explained
the proposed wording in the draft was derived from the Local Agency Formation
Commission's definition of prime agriculture land which comes from State law, and it
basically references Class I and Class II Department of Agriculture Natural Resources
Conservation Service land use capability classifications and distinguishes whether
irrigated or not (provided that irrigation is feasible) it would be considered prime
agricultural land. Consultant Strong requested direction from the Council regarding the
altemative agricultural for Ag1 and Ag1-1.
Council Member Dickens commented that due to the uniqueness of this area it is
important to create or define prime agricultural lands in additional terms. He provided a
handout to Council with additional proposed wording. He also displayed two graphs
depicting soil types from the CASP report for reference purposes and gave a brief
overview of the information. Council Member Dickens recommended his proposed
additional statement be added to Consultant Strong's proposed language in Ag1-1.1, as
follows: .Prime Farm/and Soils shall also include farmland of Statewide importance as
identified in the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Services, outlined in the Land
- - ._--_...__..~

Inventory and Monitoring (UM) Project Soil Survey for San Luis Obispo County,
California, Coastal Part, September 1984."
Council Member Runels disagreed with a few of Council Member Dickens' statements
regarding what prime farmland is. He stated he believed it did not make any difference
what the soil classification is, the land is operator driven. He commented that there is
urbanization all the way around a lot of the parcels in question. He also stated he
believed that property rights were an important consideration, and owners need to have
the ability to do what they want with their property. Council Member Runets supported
the revised language in Ag1 as revised by the Consultant.
Council Member Lubin asked Council Member Dickens if any agricultural zoned land
within the City would not be considered prime farmland under this definition. Council
Member Dickens responded no and provided clarification. Discussion ensued regarding
how the proposed policy could define all the agricultural zoned property as prime
farmland. Consultant Strong explained that the proposed wording of the policies do not
exempt non-prime land from conservation and preservation, but it does emphasize that
the most important focus of preservation should be on prime agricultural land. For
consistency, he supported Council Member Dickens' proposed additional wording for
Ag1-1.1 which is consistent with the CASP report and does not preclude from converting.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara commented that the Council had skipped through Ag1 and made
an assumption that the words "avoid, minimize, or mitigate the loss of prime farmland
soils. was something that was appropriate. He disagreed with the proposed alternative
for Ag1 and stated he believed that avoiding, minimizing, or mitigating the loss of prime
farmland weakens the policy. He strongly supported the original draft language for Ag1
of no net loss of prime farmland soils, and supported changes to Ag1-1.1 as proposed by
Council Member Dickens.
Mayor Lady asked for each Council Member's position on the revised language for
Objective Ag1 - Avoid, minimize and/or mitigate loss of prime farmland soils and
conserve non-prime Agriculture use and natural resource lands.
Council Members Lubin and Runels supported Ag1 as revised.
Council Member Dickens stated he preferred to have no net loss of prime farmland so he
would go support the original wording of the Objective as drafted.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated he would not support Ag1 as revised.
Mayor Lady supported Ag1 as revised.
Mayor Lady asked for each Council Member's position on the additional language to
Ag1-1.1 as proposed by Council Member Dickens.
Special City Council Meeting

Council Member Lubin supported the additional language to Ag1-1.1.
Council Member Runels did not support the additional language to Ag1-1.1.
Council Members Dickens, Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara, and Mayor Lady supported the
additional language to Ag 1-1.1.
There was majority consensus of the Council on the wording of Ag1 and Ag1-1.1 as
follows:
Ag1 - Avoid, minimize and/or mitigate loss of prime farmland soils and conserve non-
prime Agriculture use and natural resource lands.
Ag1-1.1 - ....Prime farmland soils shall also include farmland of Statewide importance as
identified in the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Services, outlined in the Land
Inventory and Monitoring (UM) Project Soil Survey for San Luis Obispo County,
Califomia, Coastal Part, September 1984."
Consultant Strong referred to Ag1-1 and requested direction from the Council regarding
the deletion of the introductory statement, .Except as already committed to County
Fringe Area Residential Rural and Suburban Development and the City's established
urban land use pattern,". There was consensus of the Council to delete the statement
from Ag1-1. Revised Ag1-1 reads as follows:
Ag1-1 - Designate prime farmland soils that are not predominately committed to non-
Agricultural development as Agriculture (Ag) and/or Agriculture Preserve (AgP), whether
or not in current agricultural productive use.
I
Council Member Dickens requested adding a statement under Ag2-1 to read as follows: I
.Support requests that seek to provide needed surface and/or ground water resources
for agricultural irrigation to those properties zoned Agriculture, Very Low Density and
Low Density." Consultant Strong indicated the statement was consistent with the
objective. There was some discussion on the definition of .Support requests. as used in
the statement. Following discussion, there was a suggestion to change the words
.Support requests that seek" to .Support efforts".
There was consensus of the Council to add the statement as policy 2-1.2 as follows:
Ag 2-1.2 - Support efforts to provide needed surface and/or ground water resources for
agricultural irrigation to those properties zoned Agriculture, Very Low Density and Low
Density.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to Ag2 and wanted to ensure that the Land Use Element
also contains supporting language with regard to ensuring sufficient water for sustaining
agriculture. Consultant Strong referred to the cover page of the Agriculture,
-----------

Conservation and Open Space Element which states that it is an integral part of the Land
Use Element.
Consultant Strong referred to altemative wording provided in Ag3-1, Ag3-14, Ag3-14.1,
Ag3-14.2 and requested direction from the Council on the proposed revisions. Following
discussion, there was consensus of the Council on the policies as follows:
Ag3-1 - ~*6ept as previEleEl iR AIi 1 1, Designate non-prime fannland soils for all lands
currently in agricultural use and vacant lands that have been used for agricultural
production at least six months during the past ten (10) years as Agriculture (Ag) unless
otherwise classified and Dartiallv develoDed for non-Aaricultural uses.
Ag3-14 - Consider re-classification iRte ljF9aR Ijse of an Ag parcel (or contiguous-set of
parcels) ':Jitt:liR City geljAElaRes sr Spt:lere sf IAftljeRse, only if and when the parcel or set
of parcels is less than the minimum size (e.g. leaallv non-confonnina as to area) and is
"isolated" from other agricultural uses.
Ag3-14.1 - "Isolated" shall refer to a parcel or set of parcels being oredominatelv
seDarated from other nearbv Aariculture areas. or Dredominatelv surrounded {eR all fel.lr
6KIe6} by existing urban non-aaricultural uses, such that it lacks contiguity with or
connection to other areas of existina or Dotential agricultural use.
Ag3-14.2 - In cases considered for conversion re ElesiliAatisR, the parcel(s) shall be
adequately served by appropriate infrastructure and any development application shall
be subject to environmental analysis as referenced in ACOSE Policy Ag1-4.
Consultant Strong referred to Ag5-2.2 and explained the Planning Commission
discussed minimum agricultural buffer distance requirements and the need for flexibility
to fit existing conditions. The Commission recommended that 'No portion of any new
residential structure should be located closer than 200 feet from the site of agricultural
operations. Greater or lesser distances may be required based upon site-specific I
circumstances" .
Council discussion ensued with regard to minimum agricultural buffer distances. Mayor I
Pro Tem Ferrara suggested addition of wording to include consideration of established or
existing fanning operations or practices. The Council reached consensus on Ag5-2.2 as
follows:
Ag5-2.2 - No portion of any new residential structure within a non-Agricultural land use
designation shall be located closer than 100 feet from the site of agricultural operations
within an Agricultural land designation. Greater distances may be required based upon
site-specific circumstances, to include consideration of established or existina fannina
oDerations or Dractices.
----.---- ~._-

Council Member Dickens referred to Ag5-2.3 and requested that the wording be revised
to require that the buffer area be .noticed and/or" fenced and landscaped. He also
referred to Ag5-2.4 and said that a 20 foot landscape buffer area was not deep enough
and proposed it be increased to 30 feet.
Following discussion, there was Council consensus on Ag5-2.3 and Ag5-2.4 as follows:
Ag5-2.3 - The buffer area shall be noticed and/or fenced and landscaped in such
manner to discourage human and domestic animal movement between the urban and
agricultural areas and to screen urban uses from dust and wind-borne materials.
Ag5-2.4 - The buffer area shall contain a minimum 20 feet depth of landscaping.
Plantings shall be sufficiently dense and mature to provide aerosol protection within the
first year of establishment. Greater landscaping depth may be required based upon site-
specific circumstances, to include consideration of established or existinc farming
oDerations or Dractices.
Mayor Lady called for a break at 9:25 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:36 p.m.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to C/OS1-1.1 and stated that the definition of what
constitutes a .scenic resource" is underdeveloped. He requested the last segment of the
sentence read as follows: ....unique to the City, or contribute to the rural, small town
character of the City." There was consensus of the Council on C/OS1-1.1 as follows:
C/OS1-1.1 - For purposes of this policy, a 'scenic resource' may refer to agricultural
land, open spaces, hillsides, ridgelines. canyons, valleys, landmark trees, woodlands,
wetlands, streambeds and banks, as well as aspects of the built environment that are of
a historic nature, unicue to the Citv. or contribute to the rural. small town character of the
City.
Council Member Dickens requested an Implementation Measure be added as
Ag/C/OS.21 as follows: .SUDDort the establishment of a local fundinc mechanism. as
identified bv Citv Council. which allocates funds toward the voluntarv Durchase of
acricultural conservation easements." There was consensus of the Council to add the
Implementation Measure as proposed.
Consultant Strong referred to a memorandum distributed to the Council dated October 3,
2001 relating to additional policy clarifications regarding density and mixed use projects
prior to comprehensive Development Code revisions. He recommended that a policy be
included in the Introduction of the 2001 General Plan and repeated as LU5-12 directing
staff to initiate at the earliest feasible time a Development Code Amendment including a
provision substantially as follows: .Mixed Use developments in current VC, HC, GC, or I
zones - Any combination of mixed sues, or any project proposing a residential
component in a commercial or industrial district shall be considered pursuant to
Conditional Use Permit approval (Development Code Section 9-03-050) or Planned Unit
I
.
Special City Council Meeting

Page 8
Development Permit approval (Development Code Section 9-03-160). In addition, where
affordable housing is proposed in a Mixed Use designation, density incentives exceeding
25% may be considered" There was consensus of the Council to approve staff's
recommendation.
Consultant Strong reviewed responses to public comment and stated that there were no
land use designation changes to the Land Use Element Map or substantive changes to
the policies.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated he had some suggested wording changes in the General
Plan Elements, as follows:
Take out .an. on Page LUE14, LU9 - .Provide for aA appropriate maintenance,
development..... . Council concurred.
Add .CECA review" and omit rest of sentence on Page LUE17, LU11-3.3 - ....Any
project that would degrade the Level of Service at the peak hour per City circulation
policies will require CEQA review a StatBR'lBRt Bf Ove~FiEliR!j CBRsiEleratieRs er CIiQA
fiAEliR!js. Council concurred.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to Page CE9, CT5-6.2 and stated he was not sure it
needed to remain as a General Plan Policy. Discussion ensued regarding Project Study
Reports, funding plans for projects; and the roles of County of San Luis Obispo, Caltrans,
and SLOCOG in reviewing regional projects. Following discussion, Council reached
consensus on the following revision to CT5-6.2 as follows:
CT5-6.2 - Request that the County, Caltrans, and SLOCOG consider proportional
participation in les 8BFfeS, iii Campe, Tr:affis Way, Fair Oal{s, Valley aREI JoIalsyeR ReaEl
impFevemBRts gelwBeR l-li!jt:I'HaY 1 aREI FFeB'.'Iay 1Q1 Droiects involvinc reaional traffic
imoacts.
Consultant Strong indicated this was the opportunity for the Council to clarify or revisit
any other issues.
Mayor Lady stated he would like to readdress Land Use Areas 7Eb - East Myrtle, East
Cherry and East Cherry Extension East of Noguera Place South of Arroyo Grande
Creek, Including Lierly Lane; 7Sb - South of East Cherry Avenue, East of Traffic Way;
and the Vanderveen property off of Branch Mill Road.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated he would like to readdress Land Use Area 2, Rancho
Grande/Noyes Road.
Mayor Lady referred to the 10+ acres on East Cherry and suggested an alternative land
use. He suggested a changed use from agriculture to a Planned Development with an
agricultural buffer, with the agricultural portion to be for non-pesticide farming uses. He
---------
Special City Council Meeting
October 3, 2001
Page 9
explained this would allow the zoning change of the 1.3-acre portion owned by the
Japanese Welfare Association to be residential; and the Planned Development would
allow smaller residential lots.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara agreed that Mixed Use is a good reclassification and the
Planned Development would specify uses and result in a good plan. He inquired
whether the 2-acre parcel on Traffic Way currently zoned Highway Commercial would be
included.
Discussion ensued with regard to Mixed Use classifications; Planned Developments;
non-pesticide use farming; and clarification regarding the intent of integrating an
agricultural related component to the land use designation, rather than referring to it as
an agricultural buffer.
Council Member Lubin referred to the Planned Development concept and asked if the
Council designates the parcel as Planned Development with an Agricultural component,
does the Planned Development proposal come back to the Council for approval of
specifics with regard to the project? Consultant Strong responded yes.
Consultant Strong clarified that the General Plan land use classification is not the zoning;
therefore by designating it for a combination of residential and mixed use to include
agricultural retention on portions of the property, the General Plan designation is
complete. He explained the hearing process the property owner would have to complete
in order to proceed with rezoning the property from agriculture and receiving Council
approval for a Planned Development.
City Attomey Carmel explained that due to the unique nature of this proposal, he stated
the text change within the General Plan should be very specific with regard to setting
parameters for development of the property. He suggested the Council determine
roughly what portion of the property should be agricultural and what portion of the
property and what lot sizes are preferred for the residential component.
Mayor Lady suggested lot sizes of approximately 5,500 square feet.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara summarized the discussion by clarifying that this planning area
would be classified as Mixed Use, Planned Development, and would contain a residential
component with approximate lot sizes of 5,500 square feet, an agricultural component
which may include the operation of an organic farm, a teaching farm, or other agricultural
related use, and would also contain a Highway Commercial frontage of approximately
2.5 acres which would border Traffic Way and Cherry Avenue.
City Attorney Carmel and Consultant Strong stated this language was specific enough for
the General Plan.

Following further discussion, there was consensus of the Council regarding Land Use
Study Area 7Sb - South of East Cherry Avenue, East of Traffic Way as proposed by
Mayor Lady.
Council Member Runels referred to the Vanderveen property on Branch Mill Road and
gave a brief overview of the area's history. He suggested that it was appropriate to
change the land use designation the applicant has requested from Agriculture to Medium
Density Single Family Residential.
Mayor Lady stated he could support that suggestion.
Council Member Dickens asked if it would be appropriate to look at the remaining four
parcels the same way. He said if the subject parcel was changed, the other parcels
should also be changed.
Mayor Lady stated the other parcels should be considered on their own merit at such
time that the property owners request a redesignation.
Council Member Dickens referred to Ordinance No. 153 C.S. which was adopted in May
1977 and read portions of the Ordinance that said property was rezoned from "A"
Agriculture to "A-D" Agriculture District with the "-D" override to provide a basic five (5)
acre minimum parcel size. He displayed a map highlighting those areas. He asked City
Attomey Carmel if the Council would need to readdress this particular Ordinance. I
,
i
City Attomey Carmel replied that as with all new General Plan designations, ultimately
the Council will have to render the zoning consistent with the new General Plan
designation. He stated that this property was not any different than rezoning any other
property consistent with its General Plan designation. He explained that all ordinances
can be amended or repealed.
Council Member Dickens stated that the objective of providing the Ordinance was to
display the intent of the owners in the area at that particular time, the intent of the
Council at that time, and it was part of the conditions of approval of the Greenwood tract.
He suggested that if it were the intent of the Council to look at these smaller parcels with
a transition from agriculture to non-agriculture, it would set a precedent. He further
discussed some of the agricultural and open space uses surrounding the subject
property. I
I
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked if the modification to Ag1-1.1 with regard to prime I
farmland soils would in any way impact this decision. Consultant Strong responded that
proposed policies of the General Plan Update do not apply until they're adopted. City
Attomey Carmel explained that the policy comes into effect when it is adopted which
would be simultaneously with the adoption of the new land designations.

Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked Consultant Strong to display the map depicting the area
and expressed concerns with creating a domino effect by converting agricultural land.
He stated he did not favor a change in land use designation; however, if the Council was
moving in that direction, he would ask there be some consideration for Single Family Low
Density. He stated this would be a good compromise.
Council Member Lubin stated he had considered both sides of the issue and it appeared
that if the Council was moving in the direction of reclassification to residential, one of the
things to accomplish was maintaining the City's rural atmosphere. He stated it appeared
appropriate to have the beginning of some buffering in terms of residential. He agreed
with Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara that it was appropriate to lower the density and supported
classifying the property as Low Density (1 uniUacre).
Consultant Strong explained the current residential zoning classifications and then gave
an overview of the proposed residential zoning classifications.
Council Member Dickens referred back to the public workshops in 1998 and stated that
the community overwhelmingly opposed the conversion of agriculture to low-<lensity
development. He read from an ad the farmers took out in the newspaper opposing
development on prime farmlands. He further read a portion of a 1995 letter from
Lorraine and Leroy Saratari regarding zoning regulations and restrictions that property
owners must comply with and opposing any change in zoning designations. He
concluded by stating he could not support conversion of agriculture to residential.
Discussion ensued. Council Member Runels supported Low-Medium Density (2.5
units/acre); Mayor Lady supported Low-Medium Density (2.5 units/acre); Council
Member Lubin supported Low Density (1 uniUacre); and Mayor Pro Tern Ferrara I
opposed Low-Medium Density. however, he could compromise by supporting Low
Density (1 uniUacre). I
,
Following further discussion, Council Members Lubin, Runels, and Mayor Lady I
supported a conversion of the parcel from Agriculture to Low Density Residential (1
uniUacre) on the Vanderveen property.
Mayor Lady referred to Land Use Study Area 7Eb - East Myrtle, East Cherry and East
Cherry Extension East of Noguera Place and South of Arroyo Grande Creek, Including
Lierty Lane.
Council Member Dickens declared a conflict of interest due to property ownership and
stepped down from the dais.
Consultant Strong reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to reclassify
from Residential Rural to Single Family Residential, Medium Density (SFR-MD), subject
to a requirement for a neighborhood plan to coordinate infrastructure improvements and

Arroyo Grande Creek to the north and east.
Mayor Lady stated he could support that recommendation. Following discussion, it was
detennined that consensus had already been reached on this land use area, and there
was no change.
Council Member Dickens retumed to the dais.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to Land Use Study Area 2 - Rancho Grande at Noyes
Road and requested reducing the density due to potential encroachment on the hillside.
He stated he would not favor a retaining wall on Noyes Road and due to the geophysical
constraints of the area, 35 units is much too dense.
Discussion ensued with regard to Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) and the nature
and topographical features of the area. Council Member Lubin and Mayor Lady shared
concems expressed by Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara; however, the stated designation allows
"up to" a maximum of 35 units and the EIR would address environmental issues with
regard to the property and the Council could make a detennination with regard to the
number of units. Council Member Runels agreed. Following discussion, there was
majority consensus to leave the classification as Planned Development (PO) designation
allowing up to 35 dwelling units.
Council Member Runels referred to the Circulation Element, Objective CT2 and asked for
further clarification and explanation.
Consultant Strong referred to the first page of the Circulation Element, Objective CT2
and explained that policies CT2-1, CT2-2, CT2-3, and CT2-4 identify future evaluations I
and considerations and what happens if it is impossible to attain or maintain LOS 'C' in
the future. He explained that Policy CT2-4 suggests the City should periodically review
the LOS policy and actual system perfonnance to identify model deficiencies and
consider programs, mitigation measures and/or policy revision and refinement.
6. AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT FOR TELEVISING THE CITY COUNCIL
MEETING ON OCTOBER 9, 2001
Staff recommended the Council authorize the City Manager to contract for services and
allocate $600 for televising the City Council Meeting on October 9, 2001, if adoption of
the General Plan is continued to that meeting.
Council Member Lubin moved to authorize the City Manager to contract for services and
allocate $600 for televising the City Council Meeting on October 9, 2001, if adoption of
the General Plan is continued to that meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara seconded the
motion. The motion passed 4-1 by voice vote, with Council Member Runels dissenting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEE~
SUBJECT: ROUTE 227 RELINQUISHMENT UPDATE
DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 2001
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council provide direction to staff.
FUNDING:
The Capital Improvement Program budget included $10,000 for the Route 227
Relinquishment Study. Approximately $4,800 has been expended to date.
If Route 227 is relinquished, the City would fund all repair and maintenance of Route 227
and its traffic signals. Five years after relinquishment, it is estimated that the street will
need to be slurry sealed at an estimated cost of $76,000. Approximately ten years after
relinquishment, it may be necessary to budget for an asphalt overlay at an estimated cost
of $160,000 with a seven- to ten-year life span.
DISCUSSION:
In February 1999, the City Council requested staff to investigate difficulties in obtaining
permits from Caltrans for activities in the Village. Some ofthe difficulties the City had been
experiencing include:
. Obtaining encroachment permits for local civic activities such as the Harvest and
Strawberry festivals and for non-standard traffic items such as the hanging of
holiday banners.
. The City receives no notification from Caltrans that it has issued an encroachment
permit for work on Highway 227. Therefore, the City has no input as to when the
work will take place or how it will impact City events.
. Coordination through Caltrans has caused the delay of some development projects
within the City.
. Highway 227 runs through the Village which is an urban, downtown area, yet in the
past the roadway was required to be maintained to State highway standards.
ROUTE 227 RELINQUISHMENT UPDATE
NOVEMBER 27,2001
PAGE 2 .
. When analyzing traffic conditions, the City must conform to State criteria which may
cause a difference of opinion on items such as when traffic signals or stop signs
should be installed.
In response, staff presented a brief overview to the City Council at its March 23, 1999
meeting of the advantages and disadvantages of the State relinquishing Highway 227 to
the City. The Council directed staff to include a project in the FY 2000-01 capital
improvement program to study the possible relinquishment of Highway 227. In June 1999,
the City Council approved the FY 2000-01 budget which included funds for the study.
Since October 1999, City staff has been working with Caltrans and SLOCOG staff to
identify the impacts of, and steps required for, relinquishing the portion of Highway 227
within the City limits and to identify any other feasible alternatives. Staff has also met with
the City of Pismo Beach and County of San Luis Obispo staff members. Over the course
of several meetings, the agencies identified five alternatives with regard to this issue.
The following is a summary of the five alternatives, status of each alternative, and steps
required to implement:
Alternative 1A - Relinquishment of Highway 227 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. Feasible
. Consists of the City acquiring all or a portion of Highway 227 within the City limits.
. State legislation that allows relinquishment to occur has been passed. In order for
Caltrans to begin preparing the necessary documentation, the City would need to
pass a resolution stating its intention to pursue relinquishment. There is no sunset
clause documented for this legislation.
. A project scope summary report (PSSR) is prepared by Caltrans to be presented
to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The PSSR consists of several
individual agreements and studies, such as the condition the roadway should be in
before turning it over to the City, mapping and legal descriptions of each affected
property, and a historical/cultural assessment. It is estimated it will take Caltrans
6-10 months to prepare the CTC package.
Alternative 1 B - Relinquishment of Highway 227 Sidewalks ........... Feasible
. Consists of the City acquiring the Highway 227 sidewalks only; ownership of the
roadway would remain with Caltrans.
ROUTE 227 RELINQUISHMENT UPDATE
NOVEMBER 27, 2001
PAGE 3
. State legislation that allows relinquishment to occur has been passed. In order for
Caltrans to begin preparing the necessary documentation, the City would need to
pass a resolution stating its intention to pursue relinquishment of the sidewalks.
There is no sunset clause documented for this legislation.
. A project scope summary report (PSSR) is prepared by Caltrans to be presented
to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The PSSR consists of several
individual agreements and studies, such as the condition the sidewalks should be
in before turning them over to the City, mapping and legal descriptions of each
affected property, and a historical/cultural assessment. It is estimated it will take
Caltrans 6-10 months to prepare the CTC package.
Alternative 2 - Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) . . . . . . . . .. Infeasible in its
current form
. Consists of an agreement between the City and the State detailing procedures,
duties, and responsibilities to resolve past difficulties experienced.
. Based on the City's preferred MOU this alternative has been determined to be
infeasible. State statutes do not allow Caltrans to reduce roadway standards to City
standards or to reduce processing times which were included in the MOU requested
by the City.
Alternative 3 - Future Relocation of Highway 227 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Infeasible
at this time
. Consists of another roadway being designated Highway 227 such as down Price
Canyon Road or Noyes Road to Highway 101.
.
. This alternative has been determined to be infeasible at this time. No outstanding
benefit has been identified that would prompt any of the potentially affected
agencies (e.g., Caltrans, SLOCOG, County of San Luis Obispo, and Cities of
Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach) to pursue the relocation of Highway 227. The
City's General Plan Update does include the potential for a future "relief route" in
order to divert some of the traffic.
Alternative 4 - No Action ........................................ Feasible
. Status quo; this action leaves Highway 227 as is.
These five alternatives, along with detailed pros and cons of each alternative, steps
required to accomplish each alternative, the estimated time line, and budget impacts were
presented at a Town Hall Meeting on July 26, 2001 (see attached package). Also
presented at the meeting was the East Branch Streetscape Improvement Project. Based
on the public feedback at the meeting, there was no clear consensus on a proposed
ROUTE 227 RELINQUISHMENT UPDATE
NOVEMBER 27, 2001
PAGE 4
direction. Given the status of the proposed Streetscape Project, one additional option
would be to delay the decision and pursue relinquishment only if the City is unable to
implement the streetscape proposals due to Caltrans oversight.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The following alternatives are presented for the Council's consideration:
- Direct staff to pursue the relinquishment of Highway 227;
- Direct staff to pursue the relinquishment of the Highway 227 sidewalks;
- Delay a final action until it is known whether the East Branch Streetscape
Improvement Project is funded through SLOCOG and whether or not the
improvements can be implemented on a State-owned highway.
- Provide direction to staff.

Relinquishment of Highway 227
Status: Legislation has been approved which allows the relinquishment process to take
place.
Maintenance: City
Liability: City
Budget Impacts: The City would fund all repair and maintenance of Highway 22] and its traffic
signals. Five years after relinquishment, it is estimated that the street will need to
be slurry sealed at an estimated cost of $76,000. Approximately ten years after
relinquishment, it may be necessary to budget for an asphalt overlay at an
estimated cost of $160,000 with a seven- to ten-year life span.
Time Line: Once the City adopts a resolution stating its desire to relinquish the route, Caltrans
begins preparing a package to be presented to the California Transportation ,
I
Commission (CTC) for final action. It is estimated that it will take Caltrans 6-10 I
months to prepare the CTC package. CTC action would take place 6-8 weeks from
receipt of package.
Steps Required: . City adopts a resolution stating its desire to relinquish the route.
. Pavement Deflection Study is performed by Caltrans to determine if there is a
need for an overlay and/or other pavement rehabilitation treatment. This is used
for project scope and cost estimating purposes. The Pavement Deflection
Study should be no more than 1.5 years old.
,
,
. Caltrans and City conduct a Joint Field Review to review the deflection study
and resultant recommendations.
. Caltrans begins preparation of a Project Scope Summary Report (PSSR). This
report includes all work necessary to bring the roadway up to mutually
acceptable condition of repair. The PSSR includes:
- The Pavement Deflection Study.
- All agreements are finalized between the City and Caltrans such as a
Cooperative Agreement. Planting, signing, maintenance, and .state of good
repair" work, and any other conditions agreed upon are covered in these
agreements.

Budget Impacts: City funds all repair and maintenance of the Highway 227 sidewalks. Estimated
cost of a typical future project would be $500 to reconstruct an 8-foot x 8-foot
square piece of sidewalk.
Time Line: Once the City adopts a resolution stating its desire to relinquish the sidewalks,

will be forwarded to Caltrans right-of-way.
- Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) notice/permission.
- Historical/Cultural Assessment to determine whether the project has the
potential to adversely affect any cultural resources that are determined
eligible for listing in the California or National Register. The assessment
would require an architectural study of the building, survey, and possible
excavations for archaeological resources, and consultation with the State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

City Council Members
City of Arroyo Grande
214 E. Branch Street
Arroyo Grande, CA 93420
Dear Council Members:
I am writing this letter to have my concerns recorded regarding the proposed changes to
Route 227 (E. Branch Street) through the village. t
I am the owner of the Arroyo Grande Meat Co. and as such I have serious concerns
regarding the flow of traffic and parking throughout the Village of Arroyo Grande.
RelinDuishment of Route 227
Legislation to allow the relinquishment of Route 227 was pushed through and passed
without informing all of the businesses in the village. I understand that a big proponent
for the legislation was the Village Improvement Association ofwhich I am not a member.
Not all of the businesses are members of the VIA and therefore the VIA is not our
representative.
After hearing about the legislation early this year I went to talk to City Public Works
representatives. They were not clear as to what the City intended to do with the highway
as far as festival type closures were concerned and also stated that they had no plans for
any changes whatsoever. I inquired as to why they pursued this when they had no reason.
My first question to the council is who initiated this? Is this a result of the past director
of the VIA?
At the Town Hall Meeting last month, the City named several reasons for wanting to .
proceed with the relinquishment. They presented issues such as wanting decorative
crosswalks, trees, hanging plants and banners. Supposedly these would be a problem if
Caltrans continued ownership. However, when asked if the City had ever requested these
items and been denied, the answer was no. So what's the issue?
Potential Event Road Closures
One of my biggest concerns is road closures. They are detrimental to my business as
well as other businesses. The Harvest Festival and the Strawberry Festival are enough.
The City is not able to provide us the security that we know exists with State Law that
limits the number of planned event closures on State Highways. Perhaps this council has
no intentions of promoting additional event closures, but who knows about the next
council.
Parkin2 of course is always an issue. It appears ftom the Town Hall Meeting that the
City is very in tune to this, however, once again, that is the position of the existing staff. .
I am very opposed to the removal of any parking.
CITY OF
ARROYO GRANDE

PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
--.- -.----
ProDosed closure ofSbort Street presents a significant problem. The City would like to
see delivery trucks use the back alleys for delivery as opposed to parking in the middle of
E. Branch Street. Closing Short Street is in direct conflict with that goal. Many of my
delivery trucks must use Short Street, as they can't make the turn &om Bridge or Mason
Streets. The Bridge Street Bridge has a weight restriction that limits its use and the truck
turn radius at the Mason Street driveway can't accommodate large trucks (50'). Short
Street also serves as a point of ingress and egress during Fanners' Market. For example,
a few weeks ago my County Fair animals arrived for processing. They arrived on a
Saturday during Farmer's Market. The truck still had a way to get to our back loading
dock via Short Street. Would the City prefer that we unload 135+ pigs &om the middle
ofE. Branch Street? Although this is probably one of the most historic businesses
associated with the village, people today don't appreciate seeing carcasses transported
across the sidewalk. Fair time is a dramatic example, however, we do receive sides of
beef and the rest of our products &om delivery trucks on a regular basis that would be
unable to use the other two access points for the alley.
StreetscaDe
At the Town Hall Meeting the City also had a street SClq)in2 prooosaL I am very
interested in the aesthetics of the village and would like to see an emphasis on historical
preservation. Although it is financially impossible to restore all the buildings to their
original facades, it would be great to work with business and building owners to get their
buildings to fit the era. The street scaping proposal included trees and hanging baskets. I
don't recall ever seeing trees in the village in any of the old photographs. I think trees are
not the right thing and will affect the period and authenticity of the village and they will
also block store &onts and signs as well as uprooting sidewalks and causing leaf debris.
The hanging baskets and decorative streetlights would be a nice effect.
Bulb Outs. Decorative Crosswalks
The City is also proposing to install bulb outs and decorative crosswalks, justified by
pedestrian safety problems. However, when asked if there was a demonstrated pedestrian
safety problem the answer was no. I cross this street on a regular basis and never have a
problem. There is a skill involved that requires you to make eye contact with a driver and
cross carefully and be alert. Unfortunately there are still those people Who step right out
because there are white lines on the pavement and put themselves and others at risk.
Now, if there is not a demonstrated safety problem and the bulb outs and decorative
crosswalks are installed and a safety issue presents itself, will this render the City liable?
Arrovo Grande: Tourist Destination?
In my opinion, which I believe reflects the opinion of many of the village business
owners, is the fact that the "village" is not a tourist destination it is more of a detour. A
majority of my business is based on locals. The more you make the village less
accessible, the more you eventually kill the businesses that are not tourist dependent. We
are not Pismo or San Luis Obispo, we don't have the room in the village to become that
either. Locals love this part of town and will fi-equent it if it is convenient. IfI loose the
convenience, I loose the locals. If you make the village a pain to get through; locals will
fmd their way around it. Also, the council must look at how many businesses are in no
---- ---.-
-------
J,
way tourist oriented: business professionals, lawyers, doctors, salons, laundry, etc. It
appears to me that any change of road control intends to change the nature of the
businesses in the village. If the village could survive on tourist -oriented businesses, the
new Village Center would have no vacancies. If the City strives to eliminAte historic
businesses like mine, then, let your intentions be known.
In summarv, my vote regarding these issues:
. Let the State continue to own and operate E. Branch Street
. Partial relinquishment (sidewalk only) is o.k. but don't plant trees
. Don't close Short Street
. Don't eliminAte Parking
. Use streetscape money to aid business and building owners in restoring fucades
. Carefully consider marked crosswalk studies before proceeding on bulb outs and
decorative markings
Thank you for your consideration of my opinions. I am very passionate about these
issues as they directly affect my business, my livelihood. I am in an extremely busy part
of the year at my business and working 16+ hour days. Unfortunately I don't have time I
to attend the upcoming City Council Meeting and wanted my voice to be heard and
placed in the record.
Sincerely,
Henry Gonzalez

BY: ~-{'- KELLY HEFFERNON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW OF BUILDING
"L" OF THE FIVE CITIES CENTER, PHASE II
DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 2001
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the Council approve Architectural
Review Case No. 01-011 for Building "L" of the Five Cities Center by minute

FUNDING:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On September 25,2001 the City Council approved the following amendments to
the original Conditional Use Permit for the Five Cities Center:
1. Change the land use designation of Building "L" from restaurant to
commercial retail;
2. Rotate and move Building "L" to be parallel with Rancho Parkway and
approximately forty (40') feet closer to West Branch Street;
3. Allow an outdoor patio seating area for Building "M" (limited to 400
square feet) and a patio between Buildings J and K (limited to 28
persons);
4. Decrease the size of Building "M" from 6,500 square feet to 5,000
square feet; and
5. Allow 4,095 square feet of restaurant space in Building "J".
As a condition of approval, the applicant was required to submit building

Prior to issuing a building permit, the applicant shall submit the following
information for ARC approval:
1. Submit color and placement details for the accent tiles of both buildings.
2. Show a sample of the wood sash windows and the door of Building 'M'.
3. Show screening detail for the patio on the north and west elevations of
Building 'M'.
4. Show the electrical service room on the site plan for both buildings.
The Planning Commission reviewed the project plans on November 6, 2001 and
recommended approval of the architectural features for the two buildings as
submitted, and further recommended that a Conditional Use Permit Amendment
be processed for the entire 1,100 square feet of patio area proposed for Building
"M", of which only 400 square feet is currently allowed.
To facilitate the Architectural Review process for Building "L", the two buildings
will be considered separately. The applicant has submitted a Conditional Use \
Permit Amendment for Building I.I.M", which is currently scheduled for
consideration at the December 11, 2001 City Council meeting.
Project Description
The proposed architectural style of Building "L" is intended to match the existing
buildings of the Five Cities Center. The structure is 4,000 square feet in size and
will be occupied by A.G. Edwards & Sons, a financial institution. The tallest
section of the building is 26.5 feet, which is less than the 30-foot maximum
allowed. The exterior colors and materials are listed in the table below.

Chuck Fellows -
. Conceptually I like the buildings, but more detailed renderings may need to be
brought back to the ARC.
. On the north elevation the tile roof element is missing.
. Are the awnings going to be stretched taut over the frame for Building 'L'?
Melonie Hodges -
. There is no detail on the renderings to clearly indicate how the color combinations
will be used on the buildings.
. The ARC will need to see a sample of the tile patterns.
. Liked the concept and thought it had distinctive quality.
. For the restaurant building on the west elevation, the patio area may need a low
planter wall to block the wind.
. The awnings are in fitting with the Five Cities Center and particularly on the more
formal financial institute.
Warren Hoag -
. Will the tiles be on the restaurant building?
. On the south elevation roof peak only outlined in, will it be finished off?
. Where will the signage be on the restaurant? The south elevation will not lend itself
to a wall sign. Will you be having a freestanding sign? He would not like anything
to extend above the horizontal building.
. How will you screen the roof top equipment on both buildings? It is preferable to
screen with the existing features and not with any special screening structures if
possible. The view from Via Vaquero (above the buildings) should be checked out.
. He liked the Colonial Spanish style on the restaurant building.
. The patio for the restaurant may need to have glass or acrylic screens to protect it
from the wind.
. On the south elevations the view of sides of tile roof elements, from the west and
east elevations, looks narrow; without a two-dimensional model it is hard to tell.
The ARC had an extended discussion on the tile roof element; Chet Kielan stated that if
the columns are made wider the bearing walls would need to be changed.
The Architect -
. There will be tiles on the restaurant building.
. The outline of the roof peak on the rendering will be filled in.
. On the peak of the roof there will be till on all four sides.
. The signage on the restaurant would have to be confirmed with the tenant.
. The parapets will be adjusted to hide fOof-mounted equipment.
. Burgundy color will be used for the awnings on Building 'L'.
Chet Kielan -
. He would like to see a sample of the wood sash.

A. Review of Architectural Elevations for Buildings uL U and UMU at the Five Cities
Center. Phase II
Kellv Heffernon, Associate Planner, presented the application saying there was an
amendment to the original CUP to change the allowable use of building J and made
some changes to the location and sizes of buildings Land M. Building L is proposed to
be an investment firm, and building M is changed to be a restaurant. The applicant has
color boards and material board of the proposed architecture for the two buildings.
Architect. Noel Anasco stated that with regard to the roof tiles and stucco finish, the
buildings are to match the existing architecture of the other buildings in the Five Cities
Center. In addition, on Pad 'L' they have enhanced the building with terra-cotta color.
There will be no signage on the awnings for Building 'L'. The architectural style for Pad
'M' is Spanish Mission with a rustic wood trellis over the patio area. There is an entry
tower for the restaurant building. There are built up columns on the building wall to
give some depth, with a ceramic tile wainscot to match the other buildings in the
center. On the restaurant there will also be wood frame windows in place of aluminum
to upgrade the look. The signage for the two buildings will be submitted at a later date
for ARC review and approval.
Kerry McCants-
. It would be advisable to bring a clear, detailed list of information regarding the
difference between the proposed and existing buildings in the Five Cities Center
when you present this project to the Planning Commission.

elecommunications Siting Guidelines and Permit Submittal Requirements I
Kelly ffernon said there was a joint workshop on September 27, 2001 to discuss these I
facilities. To date we have only approved three telecommunication facilities and we have
several proj ts waiting to go through the public review process.
Chuck Fellows-
. How do these idelines compare to other City's guidelines?
. In Oregon he ha seen towers everywhere on top of the mountains and these
guidelines do try to p these below the ridgelines.
Kelly Heffernon-
. We purposely stayed away fr rigid guidelines that can tie you down and not give
room for creativity. All jurisdictio appear to encourage co-location, and we do not
necessarily want this if they are goi to cause blight.
Warren Hoag-
. Thought the guidelines would maybe later the City would like to
have an ordinance.
. Suggested adding language on page 4, under heading o-Location Information, to add
wording that states "while the City encourages co-I ation there should be an
evaluation as to whether it will result in a lesser visual impac an multiple towers."
. Section E, Visual Impact Information, add language to the effect at will give staff the
discretion to determine if it is necessary to submit a 3-dimensional
the project.
Melonie Hodges-
. Add language saying that "use of artificial vegetation,
match the actual surroundings as much as possible."

MEMORANDUM
TO: . CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROB STRONG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTO~
BY: ~ ~. KELLY HEFFERNON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: TELECOMMUNICATION SITING GUIDELINES AND SUBMITTAL
REQUIREMENTS
DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 2001
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the Council adopt a resolution approving Siting
Guidelines and Submittal Requirements for Telecommunication facilities.
BACKGROUND:
On September 27, 2001 the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and Planning
Commission (PC) held a special joint meeting to discuss issues regarding the siting of
wireless telecommunication facilities. After presentations by industry experts and a
follow-up discussion by ARC and PC members, staff was directed to develop
Telecommunication Siting Guidelines for review and approval by the ARC, PC and City
Council.
Based on examples of ordinances and guidelines from other jurisdictions, staff drafted
the attached "Telecommunication Siting Guidelines and Submittal Requirements". The
ARC reviewed the Draft Guidelines on October 29, 2001 and recommended that
language be added regarding the visual impacts of co-location, and the option to require
physical samples of facility materials and/or a three-dimensional model if deemed
appropriate. These changes have been incorporated into the Draft Guidelines. i
The Planning Commission considered the Draft Guidelines on November 6, 2001 and
recommended that the following amendments be made:
1. Add stronger language under A. General Guidelines, to restrict the
telecommunication facilities on ridgelines.

TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES
SITING GUIDELINES and PERMIT
SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
I. SITING GUIDELINES
These Guidelines are intended to assist telecommunication service providers and
the community in understanding the City's standards and permit process for such
facilities. The goal is to balance the needs of wireless communication providers,
the regulatory functions of the City, the rights guaranteed by the federal
government, and the potential impacts upon the community and neighboring
property owners in the design and siting of telecommunication facilities.
A. General Guidelines:
1. Telecommunication facilities shall avoid any unreasonable interference
with views from neighboring properties.
,
2. No facility shall be installed on an exposed ridgeline or prominent slope i
when alternative sites are available. The applicant must demonstrate I
that all reasonable alternatives have been exhausted before the City I
will consider a facility on a ridgeline or prominent slope. i
I
3. Telecommunication facilities shall be painted color(s) that are most
I
,
compatible with their surroundings. !
i
I
i
4. Innovative design shall be used whenever the screening potential for I
the site is low. For example, designing structures that are compatible i
I
with surrounding architecture, or appear as a natural environmental I
feature, could help mitigate the visual impact of a facility. I
I
5. Telecommunication facilities are discouraged on any property with a I
Residential land use designation.

6. The City lists the placement of facilities in the following preferential
order:
a. Side-mount antenna on existing structures (buildings, water tanks,
etc.) when integrated into the existing structure, completely
hidden from public view or painted and blended to match existing
stru ctu res;
b. Within or on existing signs to be completely hidden from public
view;
c. Atop existing structures (buildings, water tanks, etc.) with
appropriate visual/architectural screening to be completely hidden
from public view;
d. Alternative tower structures (or stealth structures), such as man-
made trees, clock towers, flagpoles, steeples, false chimneys,
etc., that camouflage or conceal the presence of antennas.
e. Existing monopoles, existing electric transmission towers, and
existing lattice towers;
f. New locations.
7. The City encourages co-location of telecommunication facilities, but
only if it results in a lesser visual impact.
B. Guidelines for Buildina Mounted Antennas:
1. Building mounted antennas and all other equipment shall be in scale
and architecturally integrated with the building design in such a manner
as to be visually unobtrusive.
2. Colors and materials shall match the existing building.
I
3. All equipment shall be screened from public view. I
4. Building mounted antennas and all other equipment shall avoid any
unreasonable interference with views from neighboring properties.
C. Guidelines for Monopoles:
1. Monopoles may be considered only when the applicant reasonably
demonstrates that the proposed facility cannot be placed on an
existing building or structure.
2. Substantial landscaping or other screening should be provided to
visually buffer any adjoining residential uses from the potential visual
impacts of the facility. Landscape screening should be designed to
achieve its desired appearance in a reasonable period of time.
Telecommunication Facilities Guidelines and Checklist, November 2001
Page 2
-.---
3. For monopoles proposed within 300 feet of residentially zoned
property, a monopole should be set back at least 50 feet or the height
of the monopole, whichever is greater. Otherwise, the standard
setback for the applicable zoning district shall apply.
II. PERMIT SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
Any new telecommunication facility proposed within the City of Arroyo Grande is
subject to review and approval through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
process. The applicant shall submit the following additional items and
information (unless waived by the Community Development Director based on
written justification provided by the applicant) along with the standard CUP
application materials. The following list of requirements will be used to check
your application for completeness after it is submitted. If your application is not
complete, a copy of this list, andlor the CUP checklist, will be returned to you with
additional requirements noted.
A. Site Information:
Submit a site plan, Assessor's Parcel Map(s), or a recent aerial photo that clearly
illustrates the following information:
1. The lease area of the proposed project.
2. The lease areas of all other facilities on the parcel where the proposed
facility is located.
3. Property boundaries of the site and the legal lot.
4. Location of all habitable structures within 500 feet of the proposed facility
with the distance from the proposed antenna facility to the closest
structure clearly marked.
B. Technoloav Information:
1. A written description of the type of technology and type of consumer
services the carrier will provide to its customers.
2. An explanation of site selection (reason the site was chosen over
alternative sites).
3. An explanation of the need for the proposed height, strength and direction
of signal, and type of antenna proposed (i.e., panel, whip, dish). Also
include a description of all accessory structures/equipment requested as a
part of the proposed antenna facility.
4. Detailed engineering calculations for foundation wind loads.
C. RF Exposure Information:
The City of Arroyo Grande requires the same information submitted to the FCC
regarding radio frequency (RF) emissions with any application to establish a new
or expand an existing communication facility. If the application pertains to co-
location, or to an additional facility on a parcel, a cumulative emissions report for
the site is required. The City of Arroyo Grande requires the information pursuant
to its responsibility, under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), to
determine cumulative environmental impacts for all permitted projects.
Telecommunication Facilities Guidelines and Checklist, November 2001
Page 3
--
1. Provide copies of documents submitted to the FCC, including
environmental impact information, showing that the proposed facility, both
individually and cumulatively (if appropriate), is in compliance with FCC
adopted standards for RF emissions for the facility type (Le., PCS,
Cellular, Earth Satellite Facilities). Include a one-page summary in simple,
easy to read terms, demonstrating said compliance.
D. Co-Location Information:
Co-location is defined as the coincident placement of telecommunication carriers'
antennas on the same tower or antenna-mounting structure. The principal
benefit from co-location is that fewer towers are needed to serve a given area,
thereby reducing the overall visual impact of towers on a community.
The City encourages the co-location between carriers, or the use of existing
towers wherever possible to discourage the unnecessary proliferation of towers.
The City also encourages the design of new towers which allow for future co-
location whenever feasible. Applicants proposing to site the antenna(s) must
demonstrate that reasonable efforts have been made to locate the antennas(s)
on existing structures.
1. If not co-located, provide information pertaining to the feasibility of joint-
use antenna facilities, and discuss the reasons why such joint use is not a
viable option or altemative to a new facility site. This includes written
notification of refusal of the existing structure owner to lease space on the
structure. Include information on lack of existing towers in the area,
topography, frequency or signal interference, line of site problems, and
available land zoning restrictions as applicable.
E. Visual Impact Information:
The following information provides staff with criteria for determining the
significance of project visual impacts for CEQA purposes.
1. Submit a preliminary environmental review with special emphasis placed
upon the nature and extent of visual and aesthetic impacts.
2. Submit photo mock-ups or digital computer representations of the project
site "before" and "after" installation. Physical samples of facility materials
and/or a three-dimensional model may also be required. Show the
proposed tower, antenna(s), equipment shelters, and any landscaping or
screening proposed to lessen the visual impact of the project.
3. Submit information regarding the location of existing towers of the same,
or similar design as the proposal facility, located within 100 miles of Arroyo
Grande for viewing purposes.
4. If the project site is located within Yo mile of a public road, residence,
public park, public hiking trail, or pri'itate easement open to the public, or if
visible from such areas, show the proposed project site from multiple
vantage points. Multiple viewpoints will require an index map and key for
identification.
Telecommunication Facilities Guidelines and Checklist, November 2001
Page 4
5. Provide a sample of the proposed color of the tower in the form of a
minimum one square foot paint sample, and explain the reasons why that
color is best for the location proposed.
6. Describe the type of landscaping proposed to screen the facility to the
maximum extent feasible, or the reasons why landscaping is not
necessary or feasible.
7. Proposed communication facilities should not be sited on ridgelines or
hilltops when alternative sites are available. If a ridgeline location is
proposed, submit written justification to the Community Development
Director. If no alternative site exists, the communications facility must be
located to minimize silhouetting on the ridgeline and must blend with the
surrounding environment to decrease visibility from off site.
8. At the time of permit renewal, any major modification to the existing
permit, or change-out of major equipment, the permit site and existing
equipment shall be reviewed for consistency with changes in technology
that could substantially lessen visual impacts. If the Community
Development Director determines that a change in technology would
substantially lessen the visual impacts of the facility, or if they would result
in a substantial benefit to the public, the permitee may be required to
make those changes.
9. If there is a change of lessee, information regarding the type of technology
that will be used by the new lessee shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department within ten (10) days of that change. If the
transfer would require any changes to the facilities approved in the original
CUP, an Amended Conditional Use Permit application must be submitted.
The new lessee shall use the most current technology available if it would
substantially lessen visual impacts of the site, and if it would result in a
substantial benefit to the public.
10. Describe if the proposed facility is intended to be a "Coverage" or
"Capacity" site.
F. Antenna/Site Capacity Information:
1. Submit information on the total antenna capacity for the proposed
antenna tower and any other structures for the proposed project. This
information may be used for future co-location of antennas from other
companies.
2. There shall be a maximum of two towers per assessor's parcel or
developed site.

communications authorizations are typically granted to private operators. Spectrum auctions
and/or frequency coordination processes, which consider potential interference to existing
users, may apply.
Spectrum cap: A limit to the allocated spectrum designated for a specific service.
Spread spectrum: Jamming-resistant and initially devised for military use, this radio
transmission technology "spreads' information over greater bandwidth than necessary for
interference tolerance and is now a commercial technology.
Stealth structure: The support structure for a communications system which is primarily for
another principal use or accessory to the principal use on the lot where it is located and partially
or wholly conceals the antenna or minimizes its appearance in relation to the principal use of the
stealth structure.
Subscriber fraud: A deception deliberately practiced by an imposter to secure wireless service
with intent to avoid payment. This is in contrast to bad debt, which occurs when a known
person or company has a payment obligation overdue and the debt cannot be collected.
Telecommunication Facilities Guidelines - Glossary of Terms
Page 80f9
Telecommunication facility: A stationary exterior facility that transmits and receives
electromagnetic signals. It includes antennas, microwave dishes, homs, and other types of
equipment for the transmission or receipt of such signals.
W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access): The third generation standard offered
to the International Telecommunication Union by GSM proponents.
WCS (Wireless Communication Services): Frequencies in the 2.3 GHz band designation for
general fixed wireless use.
WIN (Wireless Intelligent Network): The architecture of the wireless switched network that
allows carriers to provide enhanced and customized services for mobile telephones.
Wireless: Using the radio-frequency spectrum for transmitting and receiving voice, data and
video signals for communications.
Wireless internet: An RF-based service that provides access Internet e-mail and/or the World
Wide Web.
Wireless IP: The packet data protocol standard for sending wireless data over the Internet.
Wireless IT (WIreless Information Technology): The monitoring, manipulating and
troubleshooting of computer equipment through a wireless network.
Wireless LAN (Local Area Network): Using radio frequency (RF) technology, wireless LANs or
WLANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections.
Thus, wireless LANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. WLANs are essentially
networks that allow the transmission of data and the ability to share resources, such as printers,
without the need to physically connect each node, or computer, with wires. Wireless LANs offer
the productivity, convenience, and cost advantages over wired networks.
Wireless PBX: Equipment that allows employees or customers within a building or limited area
to use wireless handsets connected to an office's private branch exchange system. WPBX
systems, for example, include a wireless handset that is programmed to ring simultaneously
with the desk phone.
WLL (Wireless Local Loop): WLL is a system that connects subscribers to the public switched
telephone network (PSTN) using wireless technology coupled with line interfaces and other
circuitry to complete the "last mile" between the customer premise and the exchange
equipment. Wireless systems can often be installed in far less time and a lower cost than
traditional wired system.
XDSL: Designation for digital subscription line technology enabling simultaneous two-way
transmission of voice and high-speed data over ordinary copper phone lines.

B. City of Arroyo Grande. Community Development Department. Proposed
Telecommunications Siting Guidelines and Permit Submittal Requirements
Kelly Heffernon said there was a joint workshop on September 27, 2001 to discuss these
facilities. To date we have only approved three telecommunication facilities and we have
several projects waiting to go through the public review process.
Chuck Fellows-
. How do these guidelines compare to other City's guidelines?
. In Oregon he had seen towers everywhere on top of the mountains and these
guidelines do try to keep these below the ridgelines.
Kelly Heffernon-
. We purposely stayed away from rigid guidelines that can tie you down and not give
room for creativity. All jurisdictions appear to encourage co-location, and we do not
necessarily want this if they are going to cause blight.
Warren Hoag-
. Thought the guidelines would work very well and maybe later the City would like to
have an ordinance.
. Suggested adding language on page 4, under heading Co-Location Information, to add
wording that states "while the City encourages co-location there should be an
evaluation as to whether it will result in a lesser visual impact than multiple towers."
. Section E, Visual Impact Information, add language to the effect that will give staff the
discretion to determine if it is necessary to submit a 3-dimensional model for review of
the project.

The Committee discussed the fact that they would like to request from the applicant a

Chuck Fellows thought it was very good that "changing technology" had been included in

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council introduce for first reading an Ordinance Adopting
the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code.
FUNDING:
The FY 2000-01 Budget included $16,500 for a comprehensive Municipal Code Update.
The funds were carried over to FY 2001-02 and the project was completed
approximately $700 under budget.
DISCUSSION:
In an effort to update, reformat, and recodify the City's Municipal Code ("Code"), in FY
1999-2000 a comprehensive legal analysis was performed by staff, in conjunction with
Book Publishing Company ("BPC") to review provisions of the Code for ambiguities,
inaccuracies, duplications, and compliance with current Califomia statutes. A report
was completed with recommendations for appropriate repeal or amendatory action.
The City Council, at its meeting of February 27,2001, adopted Ordinance No. 524 C.S.
repealing or amending obsolete, superseded, and/or unconstitutional ordinances and
portions thereof in the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code.
Following the Council's adoption of Ordinance No. 524 C.S., staff, in conjunction with
Book Publishing Company, proceeded with recodification of the Municipal Code. This
project, approved in the Fiscal Year 2000-01 Budget, has resulted in the republication of
a state of the art, well-organized Code which logicallY organizes the ordinances by
subject, includes historical ordinance notes tracing the origin and amendments of each
code section. has a revised, expandable numbering system, and a new comprehensive
index for quick and easy access to the City's current legislation.
The revised Code includes aU ordinances adopted by the City Council through
November 13, 2001 (the most recent being Ordinance No. 528 C.S.) and are made a
part of this Code. It is recommended that the term "C.S.", which previously meant
"Code Service", be eliminated from the sequential numbering of all future ordinances.
.~
The City received twenty-eight copies of the revised Municipal Code, which will be
distributed to the City Council, the Superior Court, designated staff, and several
Libraries following adoption of the proposed Ordinance. The City has an electronic
version of the Code that will be placed on the City's Local Area Network for use by staff.
Finally, funds were approved this fiscal year for placing the Municipal Code on the
Internet using standard HTML language. A link on the City's web site would direct the
browser to the BPC web site, where the City's electronic Code will feature complete,
easy-to-use hypertext tables of contents and powerful full-text search capabilities,
making it easy to track down legal provisions that can be viewed, searched and printed
using any standard Web browser.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The following altematives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Introduce the Ordinance for first reading;
- Modify and introduce the Ordinance;
- Do not introduce the Ordinance;
