Introduction
The primary purpose and goal of these Guidelines are to encourage the use of design that
will distinguish the character and appearance of the East Grand Avenue corridor and a por-
tion of EI Camino Real in order to enhance economic vitality and incorporate mixed use ac-
tivity. Please note that Design Guidelines and Standards for Design Overlay Districts 2.4
and 2.11 pertaining to the vicinities of the Village area and Traffic Way can be found in pre-
ceding sections.
These guidelines and standards are divided into five sections: a section for general guidelines
for all districts; and a section defining. each individual district to encourage distinctive
neighborhoods with diverse yet compatible design. The applicable districts are:
~ GATEWAY MIXED USE (GMU)
~ FAIR OAKS MIXED USE (FOMU)
~ HIGHWAY MIXED USE (HMU)*
~ INDUSTRIAL MIXED USE (IMU)
The pictures, drawings, and diagrams in this document are intended to illustrate an example
or objective of the Guidelines. They are not intended to illustrate how to meet City Code re-
quirements. In any case where the guidelines conflict with those found in the City Code, the
City Code shall control. Concept plans are included at the end of these Design Guidelines
and Standards for Mixed Use Districts as an additional resource in guiding future develop-
ment.

II. GATEWAY MIXED USE (GMUl
Purpose of this Design Overlay District
The primary purpose in applying these guide-
lines for this district is to facilitate build out in
a district emphasizing mixed- multi-family
residential and commercial use with an em-
phasis on financial services, restaurants and
retail uses. A continued development of a lar-
ger scale store-front commercial gateway area
will accommodate buildings with distinctive
design on a larger scale than elsewhere in the
City.

Building Design
1. Buildings shall be two to three stories, with active fronts (e.g. articulated entries, detailed fa-
cades). A three- story component may be appropriate within a project located on a large lot and
when it can be appropriately integrated considering adjacent buildings and uses. The maximum
height of a building should not exceed 35 feet except if additional height is needed to accommo-
date a design feature that contributes to both the character of the building and the surrounding
area, and if upper-floors are recessed and/or massing is well articulated. For example, an addi-
tional story or tower element on a building at a key intersection may delineate a comer landmark
building.
Lower level buildings or elements provide a transition to surrounding development
2. Ground floors should have clear articulation and a tall ceiling height (e.g. 10-15 feet.), and
have a high percentage fenestration (arrangement ofwindows/doors - 40-60% of the facade).
Awnings and overhangs are encouraged.

Plazas can provide aesthetic and economic value to successful developments.
3. Emphasize three-dimensional detailing on facades
such as cornices, window moldings, and reveals
to cast shadows and create visual interest on the
fa~ade.

Public Art Guidelines
Property owners are strongly encouraged to provide
outdoor public art on their property, or, if approved by
• the Director of Public Works, in the adjacent public
right -of -way. Artwork may include free- standing pieces
•
• (e.g. a sculpture or water fountain) or may be integrated
•
into its surroundings as an architectural element (e.g.
relief sculpture embedded in pavement or a wall, a
mosaic or mural on a wall decorative railings or
lighting.
In order to solicit community input and involvement for
the consideration and promotion of public art in the
City, a Public Art Panel has been established to review
all public art in accordance with Section 16.16.210 of the
Development Code. The 7 member panel is made up of
the following representatives to he convened as needed
(a minimum of 6 members shall be residents or business
owners in Arroyo Grande):
• 2 representatives from the property owner
• 2 representatives designated by the County Arts Council Art in Public Places
Committee (1 artist, 1 business and/or property owner in close proximity to the
proposed project)
• 1 representatives from the Architectural Review Committee
• 1 representative from the Chamber of Commerce or 1 representatives from the
Village Improvement Association if the project is within the Village Districts
• 1 representative from the Historical Society
The Public Art Panel will convene to approve public art by a majority vote after the
piece or plans are presented at a public hearing held by the City Council for the
purposes of obtaining community input.
The following guidelines developed by the San Luis Obispo County Arts Council
shall be used for the review of Public Art to be placed within the City:
1. Public art shall be original and of high artistic quality.
2. Public Art shall reflect the character of the area.
3. Public art shall be compatible with the immediate site and neighborhood in
terms of social and cultural characteristics, architectural scale, materials_,
land use and geographical and environmental context.
4. Public art shall not impede pedestrian or vehicle traffic or conflict with public
or private easements.
5. Consideration shall be given to any public safety or public health concerns

piece shall be representative or evocative of the
turn of the century historical period;
• Evaluation of artistic excellence;
• Appropriateness of scale, form, material, content
and design relative to th.e immediate and general
neighborhood;
• Appropriateness of proposed materials as
regards to structural and surface integrity,
protection against vandalism, public safety and
weathering;
• - Ease of maintenance;
• Appropriateness of proposed method of
installation of artwork and safety and .structural
factors involved in installation;
• Artist's experience in working on comparable
projects.
The Public At Panel may consider a revolving art program for a proposed location
on an ongoing basis.
Approved public art is allowed in any mixed use or commercial district and is
strongly encouraged in the Village Downtown, Village Mixed Use, Gateway Mixed
Use and Fair Oaks Mixed Use Districts. Promotion of public art visible from
intersections within. these districts as well as proximate to public gathering areas,
plazas and public parking areas is highly recommended.
