SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2005-06 APPROPRIATION
LIMIT
DATE: MAY 24, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached Resolution establishing
the appropriation limit from tax proceeds for Fiscal Year 2005-06.
FUNDING:
There is no fiscal impact with the adoption of the attached Resolution.
DISCUSSION:
Annually, the City is required to calculate the expenditure appropriation limit from
tax proceeds to determine compliance with Propositions 4 (Gann Initiative) and
111 (Spending Limitation Act of 1990). This calculation is based on the previous
year's appropriation limit ($13,701,431) multiplied by the per capita personal
income percentage increase (5.26%) and multiplied again by the population
percentage change (.9976%). The State Department of Finance provides both
the population change and the per capita personal income change for the
previous fiscal year. The City is responsible for dividing citywide revenues
between tax and non-tax revenue and applying the formula to the cumulative
appropriation limit. For Fiscal Year 2005-06 the appropriation limit has been
calculated to be $14,387,326.
This calculation means that the City cannot receive more than $14,387,326 in
tax-based revenues in Fiscal Year 2005-06. The estimated tax-based revenues
for Fiscal Year 2005-06 have been calculated to be $9,781,039, over $4 million
less than the appropriation limit. Therefore, the City is in compliance with Article
XIIIB of the Califomia Constitution.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGE�
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT WITH WILLIAM AVERY &
ASSOCIATES FOR POLICE CHIEF RECRUITMENT
DATE: MAY 24, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an
agreement with William Avery & Associates to provide consultant services to
coordinate the recruitment and selection process for the position of Police Chief
and approve an additional appropriation of$6,500.
FUNDING:
The total cost of the services will be up to $20,500. Currently, $14,000 is
included in the General Fund for this contract. The proposed service cost is
$14,000, which is consistent with the original estimate. However, out-of-pocket
direct expenses are proposed to be up to $6,500. This amount is higher than
normally experienced in professional services agreements due to the amount of
advertising, printing and travel involved in a comprehensive recruitment.
Therefore, an additional appropriation of $6,500 from the General Fund
Unappropriated Fund Balance will be necessary, which is included in the Third
Quarter Budget Report.
DISCUSSION: �
Due to the importance of the Police Chief position, the technical expertise
necessary in recruiting this specialized position, and the current workload of the
Human Resources Manager, staff proposed and Council approved contracting
with an executive search firm to coordinate the recruitment and selection
process.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was distributed to qualified firms. Three
proposals were received. A committee composed of the City Manager, Human
Resources Manager and Pofice Chief reviewed the proposals and is
recommending the contract be awarded to William Avery & Associates. A copy
of their proposal is attached.

MAY 24, 2005
PAGE 2
While all the firms were deemed highly qualified, the proposal from William Avery
& Associates was determined to be both the lowest cost and to best meet the
needs of the City. Gary Brown will serve as the principal in charge. Mr. Brown
has extensive experience in coordinating recruitments for municipal executive
positions, particular for Police Chief vacancies, and comes highly recommended.
If approved, the process will begin in early June. Actual interviews and selection \
will take place during September and October. This will provide sufficient time
for the successful candidate to begin employment in December 2005.
ALTERNATIVES:
The foltowing alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Authorize City Manager to execute agreement and appropriate
additional $6,500;
- Request City Manager to negotiate modifications to the scope of
work for the agreement; ;
_ Do not authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement; <
- Provide direction to staff.

Recruitment Plan and Services Provided
I. Position Profile and Or¢anizational Assessment
The initial assessment phase is a critical component of the search process. Our firm will
meet with the key decision makers to discuss the organizational needs and position
requirements. In this assignment we would anticipate meeting individually with you and
City Council members, and other persons as deemed appropriate. It is our experience the
"match" has to be more than just between the new Police Chief, City Council and City
Manager. There also has to be a fit between the Chief and the Police organization, the
Chief and the other department heads, and a match between the Police Chief and the
community. If there is not a fit between the Police Chief and any of these groups, there
may be future problems. As such, if you so desire, we are wi(ling to talk to the
management personnel of the Police Department, associarion representatives and support
employees, in addition to any community members you may suggest. They will be able
to help you define the profile of the "ideal" Police Chief even though the final selection
resides with you and the City Council. Our goal for this aspect of the recruitment process
is ta
• Understand the City and departmental priorities for this position.
• Develop a clear understanding and consensus on the expertise, experience,
education, performance attributes, interpersonal skil►s and operadonal style of the
ideal candidate.
• Discuss the goals, objectives, deliverables, and challenges related to this position.
• Gain insight of the various community and organizational dynamics and identify the
major depaRmental issues that exist within the organization that will face the new
Police Chief.
• Identify the compelling aspects to this opportunity.
Based on these discussions, a candidate profile and a final recruitment strategy will be
developed. The ideal candidate profile would be incorporated into the formal position
' announcement. The candidate profile is also utilized in various other means as a
marketing tool, an advertising copy, and for other announcements.
II. Development of the Search Strateav
The search strategy is developed in conjunction with the organizational assessment. The
final approach is based on your input and considerations during the assessment activity.
For this assignment, we feel it is critical to develop a high level of visibility with a
comprehensive outreach program supplemented by a focused targeted recruitment
approach. We would incorporate the following elements into this search:
��
___ J
Page 3
• Original research, which consists of identification and contact of current
incumbents or other candidates who meet the profile, but are not actively seeking
other employment.
• Development of a targeted candidate list based on contacts, referrals and
recommendations from key sources and other current and former Police
Management personnel who have extensive contacts and networks in this area.
• Active referral solicitation from various industry sources and other contacts
developed from our many years of public sector consulting.
• Public information sources that include various membership listings.
• An extensive, personalized mailing campaign to individuals identified through the
means identified above andlor those affiliated with Police management throughout
the state and country.
• Marketing and listing the position with various agencies, counties and cities within
the state, region and county.
• Advertising in WESTERN CITY Magazine, JOBS AVAILABLE, POLICE CHIEF
Magazine, CPOA newsletter, POST Scripts, PORAC newsletter and other
publications or periodicals deemed appropriate for this search.
• Internet job postings on Public Safety and Public Sector employment bulletin
boards such as the California Police Chief Association website, and our company
website.
• Utilization of our extensive and key executive contacts included in our recruitment
database.
• Development and distribution of the comprehensive position announcement to
various city, county, and state departments, as well as agencies throughout the state
and country.
III. Candidate Assessment •
Initially, all candidates responding to this position will be evaluated based on their
resume. Those who appear to be the best qualified will be interviewed by Mr. Brown.
These extended personal interviews consist of a thorough discussion of the candidate's
experience, accomplishments, management philosophy and interpersonal style. Those
individuals who best fit the position requirements will have an extensive Candidate
Assessment Report developed by the Principal who conducted the interview.
Additionally, several initial reference interviews are performed on these candidates.
C��
Page 4
IV. Candidate Presentation
Upon completion of formal interviews and initial reference interviews, a selection of
candidates for presentation is made. Typically, the number of final candidates requested
by our clients range from six to eight.
We feel our extensive screening, interview, and reference process; combined with the
knowledge gained during our inidal assessment period, enable our client to proceed with
fewer rather than more finalists.
The final candidates are presented in our candidate presentation "book." Each finalist
will have a file consisting of a candidate summary sheet, a resume, the Candidate
Assessment Report (based on the formal interview), and candidate reference reports. A
list of all candidates who apply will also be included.
V. Selection Process
Once the final candidate interview group is identified, we will assist in the structuring of
the interview process and coordinate the interyiew scheduling activity. It is our
understanding that you will want to utilize multiple panels. Mr. Brown will be present
for the interviews; this enables him to evaluate how well the candidates do and in turn
provide them feedback. He will also facilitate the process including the consensus
deliberations. This is especially important when there may be an intemal candidate(s) in
order to minimize the possible comments of it having been perceived as a "wired" '
process. Our firm will also provide candidates with guidance related to travel planning,
hotel accommodations, as well as other interview planning issues.
VI. Position Closure and Follow-Un
Based on the firm's experience in human resource management and executive search, we
are able to assist our clients in the formuladon of appropriate compensation and other
employment arrangements, plus negotiate an employment agreement with the top finalist
as part of the basic fee.
�As a matter of policy, Avery Associates monitors the transition and progress of any
executive we place with a client. Within the first three to six months after the City has
hired the individual, we will speak with that individual to ensure that an effec6ve
transition has occurred. During the same period, we will also review the individual's
status with your office.

Who Is Going To Fill Their Shoes?
A Perspective on the Recruitment of Police Chiefs
By Gary Brown
The telephone rings, its executive recruiter, Mr. Fish Peddler following up on the job
announcement he sent regarding the Police Chiefs position for the City of Last Resort.
He's called regarding other recruitments; however, must be hard of hearing, as you've
indicated you are content being a Captain and have no interest in becoming a Police
Chief. He proceeds to tell you this is the "ideaP' job in the "ideal" city and you are the
"ideai" candidate. You listen politely and reply; "thanks, but no thanks". You don't want
to upset him, as someday perhaps in a moment of weakness, or if you really need a job,
you may want him to return your call.
This conversation is occurring on an increasing basis throughout the state. The question
is: are there fewer candidates today who are willing to vie for the position of Police
Chief? The answer, unfortunately, appears - "yes."
Not that many years ago, there were numerous people at ail levels in the organization
interested in being promoted to the top position. Why is this happening?
Background
Here are some of the reasons this problem exists
People often become content in the #2 or #3 position in the organization. "Why
should I leave the comfort of my department where I am getting paid nearly as much as
the Police Chief for an "at will" position as a Chief in another city? I can go home and
have fewer worries than the Chief. After all, I still have a lot of autonomy. If I become
Chief, I just increase my potential for headaches, heart attacks and heighten the risk of
losing my job.

i

I
Another concern is Police Chiefs have not adequately prepared people to
succeed them. This may be true, on the part of some chiefs, as they like to be the one
most directly involved (either internally or externally) in the affairs of organization and
have not allowed their command staff to "step out front . Also, there is the mindset of
the chief not announcing their retirement too eariy, so as not to be a "lame duck." The
chief announces he is leaving in 90 days and only then do some begin to scramble to
assume the soon to be vacated executive position.
There are those who would say the Police Chiefs role is much more difficult than
it once was and not as much fun. It does appear at times, that there are fewer
rewards today for serving in the top position. Being on point, the Chief is prone to take
the first hit either from external or internal fire. Often when asked why they are teaving,
they reply it is because they simply are tired of the day-to-day personnel and labor
issues: Challenging a discipiinary action, filing a grievance over the shift schedule
and/or a general distrust of management. It takes it toll over time.
Prior to the formation of existing labor laws, the Police Chief championed for the salary
and fringe benefits for the rank and file. Today, there are a few meager transfers and
promotions that the Chief has to offer.
The 3�0 @ 50 retirement plan is being adopted for public safety agencies
throughout the state. This has and will continue to result in additional early
retirements for police (and fire) administrators. As an aside, it also poses an eventual
backlash from the general public due to the increasing, retirement enhancements for
their public servants. This is happening while their retirement program (Social Security)
is becoming farther out of reach, and may be in jeopardy in terms of its solvency.
Predictions For The Future
Based upon the concerns identified previously, it is predicted that:
1: Cities will be more inclined to use executive recruiters to help them find police
chief applicants. We have seen increasing numbers of agencies utilizing recruiters
in finding their police CEO's. The executive recruiters task will not be easy,
however, they should be more aware as to who are the better candidates out there.
2: There will be increasing numbers of inexperienced police managers assuming
the position of Police Chief. The increasing retirement benefits will not only result
in the early retirement of Police Ck�iefs, a significant brain trust loss, as many of their
#2 and #3 staff officers, those most likely to succeed them; will also be retiring at the
2
same time. As such, you may see Police Chiefs in the near future who are currentiy
no more than a first line supervisor or middle manager. They will have to learn their
. executive positions while "in the saddle." Some may succumb because they will not
be able to make the adjustment.
3: There will be more Police Chief Candidates from out of state or from
metropolitan police departments who have a separate retirement system.
People who have served in command positions in other states wiil fiil the void if there
are inadequate numbers of qualified candidates within the state. This enables them
to "doubie dip," and thereby help offset the increased housing costs in our state.
Likewise, we wili see California police chiefs retiring early and assuming similar
positions in other states.
Measures to consider in addressing the problem:
A. Police Chiefs must prepare their staff to succeed them. Number 2s and 3s need
the hands on experience of interaction with City Managers, City Counciis and
community groups. Chiefs need to provide the general direction and then move
to the side. Their staff needs to experience both the good and the bad of being a
CEO.
B. We must identify future executives at the entry-level and mid-management
positions and develop a training course that will prepare them to become a police
chief in a relatively short period of time. The reintroduction of the assessment
center process as a means to identify those with the basic skills to be a CEO;
combined with an intensive follow-up training program, akin to the intensive "90
day wonder" military officer programs, which includes the political nuances of
being a Police Chief, would seem to be in order.
C. Cities must push for reforms of the existing administrative policies that require
out of state police chiefs to pas§ a proficiency test on subject matter that is not
pertinent to the skills required of being a CEO. The current process inhibits out of
state candidates ftom applying for a police chiefs position.
D. Police Chiefs should be offered an employment agreement which provides for a
severance clause. It will enable a deposed Chief to make the house payment and
buy groceries for a while until he/she can find other employment. This does not
preclude the Chief from remaining as an "at will" position.
3
E. City Managers, Mayors, Council members must show their continuing support for
the chief, especially during a protracted labor process. When things go sideways,
often the chief will be viewed as not being supportive of the needs of the rank
and file. In a perFect worid, union members wouid not be able to actively
campaign for those who in turn vote on the salaries of the union. However, since
such reform does not appear realistic, policy makers and City Managers must
stand boldly by their chiefs. If they do, it will let perspective chiefs know they will
not be left out as a sacrifice.
F. We need to continue to remind "would be" police chiefs of the many reasons why
someone should want to serve as a police chief. Candidates need to look on it as
being more of a "calling" than just a job.
Conclusion
In closing, when you weigh the piuses and minuses for the job, most police chiefs will
' acknowledge that the assets of the position still far exceed the liabilities. It is an exciting
career opportunity that allows someone to truly make a difference. We need to get this
' message out and help prepare the police executives of tomorrow.

Dear Honorable Chair and Members of the Board:
It has come to our attention that there are preliminary discussions under way
regarding a proposal to deveiop a soccer complex at Sevada Lane and EI
Campo Road. While we understand that it is only in the preliminary planning
stages and nothing has been submitted to the County for formal consideration,
the City would like to go on record in opposition to the concept.
Such a project raises a number of significant environmental issues. The water
supply and road system in this area are already deficient to serve existing and
planned development. The Brisco/Halcyon interchange and EI Campo
intersection with Route 101 are both operating at unacceptable levels of service
' and/or unsafe. Until both are committed in regional transportation improvement
programs, the project would not be feasible without creating major problems. in
addition, the concept of the facility is to serve a regional rather than local need.
This particular site does not provide the access appropriate for such a purpose.
As a result, there would be a significant impact to a wide area of the local
circulation system.
Thank you for your consideration of our concems. Please contact us if you have
any questions.
Sincerely,
TONY FERRARA

THAT THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO DELAY BY ONE
YEAR RELINQUISHMENT OF MAINTENANCE OF FLOOD
CONTROL ZONE 1 & 1A TO THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES
DATE: MAY 24, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Ciry Council approve the attached letter to be sent to the
County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors.
FUNDING:
There is no direct cost impact to the City from this action.
DISCUSSION:
At the May 10, 2005 meeting, staff was directed to prepare a draft letter for the
Mayor's signature to the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors urging
the County to postpone relinquishment of maintenance responsibilities of Zone 1
& 1A to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). County relinquishment of
the maintenance responsibilities is scheduled to take place July 1, 2005.
Maintenance costs will be funded through assessments on private property within
• the District, including the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District, and
are expected to create an economic hardship for many of those impacted.
I
The San Luis County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Zone 1 & 1A �
Advisory Committee has been meeting to develop feasible altematives, which will
likely involve applications for grants and some form of property assessment. If
supplemented by grant funding, the assessments may be significantly reduced
from what will be charged by DWR. However, additional time is needed to
effectively pursue these options and action by the Board of Supervisors is
necessary immediately to provide for the postponement.

Dear Board of Supervisors:
On behalf of the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande, I respectFully request your
support to postpone by one year the relinquishment of maintenance of Flood Control
Zone 1 & 1A to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). This will provide sufficient
time for agreement on a solution that better meets the needs of all involved. DWR is
scheduled to assume controi of maintenance duties for the Flood Control District on July
1, 2005, so immediate action by the Board of Supervisors is necessary.
Approval by the County. to relinquish maintenance of Flood Control Zone 1 & 1A took
place on April 1, 2003 without an advertised public hearing. The proposed assessments
will be economically devastating to the property owners impacted, including senior
citizens, business owners and farmers. Our community is involved in efforts to increase
the economic viability of agriculture in our area — both within the City and the adjacent
County areas. However,we fear that this measure will add an economic hardship to local
farmers lacking the capacity to assume additionai expenses and still maintain profitable
operations.
The 12-month postponement is necessary to complete fiscal planning efforts already
under way, which will likely result in a combination of grant funding and assessments at
an amount lower than projected DWR costs. This would result in both better
improvements and cost savings to property owners. if unsuccessful, relinquishment to
DWR could then continue, although we are confident that will not be necessary.
Therefore, postponement provides a great opportunity with little risk. �
Thank you for consideration of our request. '

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RICK TerBORCH, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF TRANSFER OF SURPWS POLICE
ENFORCEMENT MOTORCYCLE TO THE CITY OF GREENFIELD
DATE: MAY 24, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution declaring the Police DepartmenYs
1996 Kawasaki enforcement motorcycle as surplus and authorize the transfer of the
motorcycle to the City of Greenfield for use by its Police Department.
FUNDING:
There are not direct costs to the City associated with this proposal. However, upon
declaring the motorcycle as surplus, the City could sell the motorcycle for between $600
and $900. Under this proposal,the City will transfer ownership to the City of Greenfield at
no cost. There currently are no revenues in the City Budget related to the sale of the
surplus motorcycle.
DISCUSSION:
In FY 2001-02, the Police Department removed from service its 1996 Kawasaki
enforcement motorcycle and replaced it with a new BMW enforcement motorcycle. The
1996 Kawasaki motorcycle had been retained as a training motorcycle and was,for a short
time, loaned to the Santa Maria Police Department. Currently, the motorcycle has been
taken completely out of service and placed in storage, awaiting final disposition.
The City of Greenfield Police Department has approached the City and inquired regarding
the possibility of obtaining the motorcycle for traffic enforcement use in that City (see
attached letterfrom Chief Grebmeier, Greenfield Police Department). The City has limited
financial resources and was interested in a straight transfer of the motorcycle with no cost
associated to it. The City of Arroyo Grande, in the past, has made such transfers involving
surplus patrol vehicles, radios and other equipment to cities and other entities that needed
such equipment and had limited financial resources. Examples of these transfers include
to the Cities of Guada�upe and Grover Beach, as well as to the Cuesta College Police
Department.

As presented under Funding, while there is a loss in potential revenue by not selling the
motorcycie once declared surplus property, that revenue is minimal and the City has not
budgeted for any revenues which may be derived from such a sale. It is staff's belief that
from a public safety policy perspective, it would be more beneficial to transfer the
motorcycle to the City of Greenfieid to be used in that Citys traffic enforcement program.

I nformation
Dear Mr. Guiliano:
The amount of overall goal, methodology, breakout of estimated race-neutrai and
race-conscious participation, and any DBE program updates are presented herein in
accordance with Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 26, and as described in
the Local Assistance Procedu�s Manual.
The City of Arroyo Grande submits our annual overall�goal information (and any needed
updates of our DBE program) for your review and comment. We propose an annual
overall DBE goal of 7%for the Federal Fiscal Year(FFY)2005/06, beginning on October 1,
2005 and ending on September 30, 2006.
Methodolocav
The "Utilizing the Bidders List" methodology was used to determine the City of Arcoyo
Grande's overall goal for Federai fiscal Year FY 2005/06.
The City of Arroyo Grande elected to utilize the following methodology in establishing the I
• City of Arroyo Grande's Base Figure of relative DBE availability for FFY 2005/06. �
For the Numerator. DBE Firms in Citv of Arroyo Grande's Bidders Lisf I'
For the Denominator: All Firms in City of Arroyo Grande's Bidders List
The City of Arzoyo Grande calculated its weighted Base Figure by first determining the
number of ready,willing and able DBEs in its FY 2004/2005 Bidders List by work category,
and dividing the number of DBEs by the total number of firms in the same work category.
Through this method, the City of Arroyo Grande measured the availability by the number
of firms that have directly participated in, or attempted to participate in, City of Arroyo
Grande's DOT-assisted contracting in FY 2004/2005.

Application of this formula yields the following baseline information:

The Base Figure resulting from this calculation was determined to be 7%.
Breakout of Estimated Race-Neutral and Race-Conscious Participation
Of the overall annual 7% goal for DBE participation, the City of Arroyo Grande projects
meeting 4% of the goal utilizing race-neutrai methods, including making efforts to assure
that bidding and contract requirements facilitate participation by DBEs and other small
businesses; unbundling large contracts to make them more accessible to small
businesses; encouraging prime contractors to subcontract portions of the work that they
mighfotherwise perform themselves; and providing technical assistance,and othersupport
services to facilitate consideration of DBEs and other smail businesses. The remaining
3% of the goal is anticipated to be accompiished through race-conscience measures,
which includes establishing contract specific goais on contracts with contracting
possibilities, when needed, to meet the City's overall annual DBE goaL

XIII. Monitoring and Enforcement Mechanisms (§26.37)
The City of Arroyo Grande will assign a Resident Engineer (RE) or Contract Manager to
monitor and track actual DBE participation through contractor and subcontractor reports of
payments in accordance with the following:
After Contract Award
After the contract award the City of Arroyo Grande will review the award documents forthe
portion of items each DBE and first tier subcontractor wifl be performing and the dollar
value of that work. With these documents the RE/Contract Manager will be able to
determine the work to be performed by the DBEs or subcontractors listed.
Preconstruction Conference
A preconstruction conference will be scheduled between the RE and the contractor ortheir
representative to discuss the work each DBE subcontractor will perform.
Before work can begin on a subcontract, the local agency will require the contractor to
submit a completed "Subcontracting Request," Exhibit 16-B of the LAPM or equivalent.
When the RE receives the completed form it wiil be checked for agreement of the first tier
subcontractors and DBEs. The RE will not approve the requestwhen it identifies someone
other than the DBE or first tier subcontractor listed in the previously completed "Local
Agency Bidder DBE Information," Exhibit 15-G. The"Subcontracting Request"will not be
approved until any discrepancies are resolved. If an issue cannot be resolved at that time,
or there is some other concem, the RE will require the contractor to eliminate the
subcontractor in question before signing the subcontracting request. A change in the DBE
or first tier subcontractor may be addressed during a substitution process at a later date.
Suppliers, vendors, or manufacturers listed on#he"Local Agency Bidder DBE Information"
will be compared to those listed in the completed Exhibit 16-I of the LAPM or equivalent.
Differences must be resoived by either making corrections or requesting a substitution.
Substitutions will be subject to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act(FPA).
Local agencies will require contractors to adhere to the provisions within Subietting and
. Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (State Law) Sections 4100-4144. FPA requires the
contractor to list all subcontractors in excess of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the
contractor's total bid or$10,000, whichever is greater. The statute is designed to prevent
bid shopping by contractors. The FPA explains that a contractor may not substitute a
subcontractor listed in the originai bid except with the approval of the awarding authority.
The RE will give the contracYor a blank Exhibit 17-F, "Final Report Utilization of
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, First Tier Subcontractors" and will explain to them
that the document will be required at the end of the project, for which payment can be
withheld, in conformance with the contract.
City of Arroyo Grande -DR.4FT-
DBE Program for FFY 2005✓06 Page 8 May 2005
Construction Contract Monitorina
The RE will ensure that the RE's staff(inspectors) know what items of work each DBE is
responsible for performing. Inspectors will notify the RE immediately of apparent
violations.
When a firm otherthan the listed DBE subcontractor is found performing the work, the RE
will notify the contractor of the apparent discrepancy and potential loss of payment. Based
on the contractor's response,the RE will take appropriate action: The DBE Liaison Officer
will perform a preliminary investigation to identify any potential issues related to the DBE
subcontractor performing a commercially useful function. Any substantive issues will be
forwarded to the Caltrans Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. If the contractor
fails to adequately explain why there is a discrepancy, payment for the work will be
withheld and a letter wili be sent to the �ntractor referencing the applicable spec�cation
violation and the required withholding of payment.
If the contract requires the submittal of a monthly truck document, the contractor will be
required to submit documentation to the RE showing the owners neme;Califomia Highway
Patrol CA number; and the DBE certification number of the owner of the truck for each
truck used during that month for which DBE participation will be claimed. The trucks will be
listed by Califomia Highway Patrol CA num6er in the daily diary or on a separate piece of
paper for documentation. The numbers are checked by inspectors [egularly to confirm
compliance.
Providing evidence of DBE payment is the responsibility of the contractor.
Substitution
When a DBE substitution is requested,the RE/Contract Managerwill request a letterfrom
the contractor explaining why substitution is needed. The RE/Contract Manager must
review the letter to be sure names and addresses are shown, dollar values are included,
and reason for the request is explained. If the RE/Contract Manager agrees to the
substitution, the RE/Contract Manager will notify, in writing, the DBE subcontractor
regarding the proposed substitution and procedure for written objection from the DBE
subcontractor in accordance with the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act. If
the contractor is not meeting the contract goai with this substitution, the contractor must
. provide the required good faith effort to the RE/Contract Manager for local agency
consideration.
If there is any doubt in the RE/Contract Managers mind regarding the requested
substitution,the RE/Contract Manager may contact the DLAE for assistance and direction.
Record Keepinq and Final Report Utilization of Disadvantaqed Business Entemrises
The contractor shall maintain records showing the name and address of each first-tier
subcontractor. The records shall also show:
City of Arroyo Grande -DRAFT-
DBE Program /or FFY 2005/OB Page 7 May 2005
�
� �:
1. The name and business address, regardless of tier, of every DBE subcontractor,
DBE vendor bf materials and DBE trucking company.
2. The date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to each of the firms.
3. The DBE prime contractor shall also show the date of work performed by their own
forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work claimed toward DBE
goals.
When a contract has been completed the contractor will provide a summary of the records
stated above. The DBE utilization information wili be documented on Exhibit 17-F and will
be submitted to the DLAE attached to the Report of Expenditures.The RE will compare the
completed Exhibit 17-F to the contractoYs completed Exhibit 15-G and, if applicable,to the
completed Exhibit 16-B. The DBEs shown on the completed Exhibit 17-F should be the
same as those originally listed unless an authorized substitution was allowed, or the
contractor used more DBEs and they were added. The dollar amount should reflect any
changes made in planned work done by the DBE.
The contractor will be required to explain in writing why the names of the subcontractors,
the work items or dollar figures are different from what was originally shown on the
completed Exhibif 15-G when:
. There have been no changes made by the RE.
. The contractor has not provided a sufficient explanation in the comments section of
the completed Exhibit 17-F.
The explanation will be attached to the completed Exhibit 17-F for submittai. The RE will
file this in the project records.
The locai agency's Liaison Officer will keep track of the DBE certification status on the
Internet at www.dot.ca.pov/hp/bep and keep the RE inforrned of changes that affect the
contract. The RE will require the contractor to act in accordance with existing contractual
commitments regardless of decertification.
The DLAE will use the PS&E checkiist to monitor the City of Arroyo Grande's commitment
. to require bidders list information to be submitted to the City of Arroyo Grande from the
awarded prime and subcontractors as a means to develop a bidders list. This monitoring
will only take place if the bidders list information is required to be submitted as stipulated in
the special provisions.
The City of Arroyo Grande will bring to the attention of the DOT through the DLAE any
false, fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the program, so that DOT can
take the steps (e.g., referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, referral
to the DOT Inspector General, action under suspension and debarment or Program Fraud
and Civil Penalties rules)provided in§26.109. The City ofArroyo Grande also will consider
similar action under our own legal authorities, including responsibility determinations in

XIV. Overall Goals (§26.45)
Amount of Goal
The City of Arroyo Grande's overall goal for the Federal fiscal year FFY 2005/06 is the
following: 7%of the Federal financiai assistance in FHWA-assisted contracts. This overall
goai is broken down into 3°/a race-conscious and 4% race-neutral components.
Methodoloqv
The "Utilizing the Bidders List" methodology was used to determine the City of Anoyo
Grande's overall goal for Federal fiscal Year FY 2005/06.
1. DOT-Assisted Contractina Propram for FW 2005/06

2. Goal-methodoloqv
Step 1: Determination of a Base Figure (49 CFR 26.45)
The City of Arroyo Grande utilized the following methodology in establishing its
Base Figure of relative DBE availability for FFY 2004/05.
For the Numerator.• Certified DBE Firms in Citv of Arrovo Grande's Bidders List
For the Denominator.• All Firms in City of Arroyo Grande's Bidders List
City of Arroyo Grende -DRAFT-
DBE Program for FFY 2005/OB Page 9 May 2005
The City of Arroyo Grande calculated its weighted Base Figure by first determining
the number of ready, willing and able DBEs in its FY 2004/05 Bidders List by work
category, and dividing the number of DBEs bythe total numberoffirms in the same
work category. Through this method, the City of Arroyo Grande can measure
availability by the number of firms that have directly participated in, or attemptecl to
participate in, City of Arroyo Grande's DOT-assisted contracting in FY 2005/06.
Application of this formula yields the following baseline information:
NumberofDBE's in Citv ofArrovo Grande's BidderLisf = BASE FIGURE !I
Number of AI!Firms in Cify of Arroyo Grande's Bidders List
The Base Figure resuiting from this calculation is as follows:
Base Figure = 1.0 LDBEs in 237310)
Base Figure = 1.Ou
��)
Base Figure = 1 A(7)
Base Figure = [7 ] x 10Q
Base Figure = [ 7 ] x 100 = 7%
Step ll: Adjusting the Base Figure
Breakout of Estimated Race-Neutral and Race-Conscious Pa�ticioation
Of the overall annual 7% goal for DBE participation, the City of Arroyo Grande projects
meeting 4% of the goal utilizing race-neutral methods, incfuding making efforts to assure
that bidding and contract requirements facilitate participation by DBEs and other small
. businesses; unbundling large contracts to make them more accessible to small
businesses; encouraging prime contractors to subcontract portions of the work that they
might otherwise perform themselves; and providing technical assistance,and other support
services to facilitate consideration of DBEs and other small businesses. The remaining
3% of the goal is anticipated to be accompiished through race-conscience measures,
which includes establishing contract specific goals on contracts with contracting
possibilities, when needed, to meet the City's overali annuai DBE goal.
City of Arroyo Giande -DRAFT-
DBE Program for FFY 2005/OB Page 10 May 2005
Process
Starting with the Federal fiscal year 2002, the amount of overall goal, the method to
calculate the goal, and the breakout of estimated race-neutral and race-conscious
participation will be required annually by June 1S� in advance of the Federal fiscal year
beginning October 1 for FHWA-assisted contracts. Submittals will be to the Caltrans'
DLAE. An exception to this will be if FTA or FAA recipients are required by FTA or FAA to
submit the annual information to them or a designee by another date. FHWA recipients will
follow this process:
Once the OLAE has responded with preliminary comments and the comments have been
incorporated into the draft overall goal information,the City of Arroyo Grande will publish a
notice of the proposed overall goal, informing the public that the proposed goal and its
rationale are available for inspection during normal business hours at the City of Arroyo
Grande's principal office for 30 days following the date of the notice, and informing the
public that City of Arroyo Grande comments will be accepted on the goals for 45 days
following the date of the notice.Advertisements in newspapers, minority focus media,trade
publications, and websites wili be the normai media to accomplish this effort. The notice
will include addresses to which comments may be sent and addresses (including offices
and websites)where the proposal may be reviewed.
� The overall goal resubmission to the Caltrans DLAE,will include a summary of information
and comments received during this pubFic participation process and City of Arroyo
Grande's responses. This will be due by September 1 to the Caltrans DLAE. The DLAE
will have a month to make a final review so the City of Arroyo Grande may begin using the
overall goal on October 18�of each year.
If there is a design build please refer to Appendix B of this DBE Program.
XV. Contract Goals (§26.51)
The City of Arroyo Grande wili use contract goals to meet any portion of the overali goal
the City of Arroyo Grande does not project being able to meet by the use of race-neutral
. means. Contract goals are established so that, over the period to which the overall goal
applies, they will cumulatively result in meeting any portion of the overall goal that is not
projected to be met through the use of race-neutral means.
Contract goals will be established only on those DOT-assisted contracts that have
subcontracting possibilities. Contract goals need not be established on every such
contract, and the size of contract goals wili be adapted to the circumstances of each such
contract(e.g., type and location of work, availability of DBEs to perform the particular type
of work). The contract work items will be compared with eligible DBE contractors willing to
work on the project. A determination will also be made to decide which items are likely to
be performed by the prime contractor and which ones are likely to be perFormed by the
Clty of Arroyo Grande -DR.4FT-
OBE Program for FFY 2005/OB Page 11 May 2005
subcontractor(s). The goal wili then be incorporated into the contract documents. Contract
goals will be expressed as a percentage of the total amount of a DOT-assisted contract.

APPENDIX A TO PART 26
GUIDANCE CONCERNING GOOD FAITH EFFORTS
1. When, as a recipient, you establish a contractgoal on a DOT-assisted contract, a
bidder must, in order to be responsible and/or responsive, make good faith efforts to
meet the goal. The bidder can meet this requirement in either of two ways. First,
the bidder can meet the goal, documenting commitments for participation by DBE
firms sufficient for this purpose. Second, even if it doesn't meet the goal, the bidder
can document adequate good faith efforts. This means that the bidder must show
that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal or other
requirement of this part which, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the
objective, could reasonably be expected to obtain sufficient DBE participation, even
if they were not fuliy successfuL
2. In any situation in which you have established a contract goai, part 26 requires you
to use the good faith efforts mechanism of this part. As a recipient, it is up to you to
make a fair and reasonable judgment whether a bidder that did not meet the goal
made adequate good faith efforts. It is important for you to consider the quality, '
quantity, and intensity of the different kinds of efforts that the bidder has made. The ;
efforts employed by the biddershould be those that one could reasonably expect a
bidder to take if the bidder were actively and aggressively trying to obtain DBE
participation sufficient to meet the DBE contract goal. Mere�ro forma efforts are '
not good faith efforts to meet the DBE contract requirements. We emphasize, •.
however,that your determination conceming the sufficiency of the firm's good faith '
efforts is a judgment call: meeting quantitative formulas is not required.
3. The Department also strongly cautions you against requiring that a bidder meet a ';
contract goal (i.e., obtain a specified amount of DBE participation) in order to be
awarded a contract, even though the bidder makes an adequate good faith efforts
showing. This rule specifically prohibits you from ignoring bona fide good faith
efforts.
4. The following is a list of types of actions which you should consider as part of the
bidder's good faith efforts to obtain DBE participation. It is not.intended to be a
. mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. Other factors
or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases.
1. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g. attendance at
pre-bid meetings, advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all
certified DBEs who have the capability to pe�Form the work of the contract.
The bidder must solicit this interest within su�cient time to allow the DBEs to
respond to the solicitation. The bidder must determine with certainty if the
DBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to follow up initial
solicitations.
Clfy of Ar►oyo Grande -DRAFI'-
DBE Program for FFY 2003/04 Appendix A-Page 1 May 2003
2. Selecting portions of the work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase
the likelihood that the DBE goals will be achieved. This includes, where
appropriate, breaking out contract work items into economically feasible units
to facilitate DBE participation, even when the prime contractor might
otherwise prefer to perform these work items with its own forces.
3. Providing interested DBEs with adequate information about the plans,
specifications, and requirements of the contract in a timely manner to assist
them in responding to a solicitation.
4. (1) Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs. It is the bidder's
responsibility to make a portion of the work available to DBE subcontractors
and suppliers and to select those portions of the work or material needs
consistent with the available DBE subcontractors and suppliers, so as to
facilitate DBE participation. Evidence of such negotiation includes the;
names,addresses, a�d telephone numbers of DBEs that were considered;a
description of the information provided regarding the plans and specifications
for the work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to why additional
agreements could not be reached for DBEs to perForm the work.
(2) A bidder using good business judgment would consider a number of
factors in negotiating with subcontractors, including DBE subcontractors, and
would take a firm's price and capabilities as well as contract goais into'
consideration. However, the fact that there may be some addftionai costs
involved in finding and using DBEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a
bidders failure to meet the contract DBE goal, as long as such costs are'
reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of a prime contractor to perform the
work of a contract with its own organization does not relieve the bidder of the
responsibility to make good faith efforts. Prime contractors are not, however,
required to accept higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference is
excessive or unreasonable.
5. Not rejecting DBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a
thorough investigation of their capabilities. The contractor's standing within
its industry, membership in specific groups, organizations, or associations
• and political or social affiliations(for example union vs. non-union employee
status)are not legitimate causes forthe rejection or non-solicitation of bids in
the contractor's efforts to meet the project goai.
6. Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit,
or insurance as required by the recipient or contractor.
' 7. Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary equipment,
supplies, materials, or related assistance or services.
8. Effectively using the services of available minority/women community
Clty of Arroyo Grande -DRAFT-
DBE Program for FFY 2003/04' Appendlx A-Page 2 May 2003
organizations; minority/women contractors'groups; local, state, and Federal
minority/women business assistance offices; and other organizations as
allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide assistance in the recruitment
and placement of DBEs.
5. In determining whether a bidder has made good faith efforts, you may take into
account the performance of other bidders in meeting the contract. For example,
when the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the contract goal, but others meet
it, you may reasonably raise the question of whether, with additional reasonable
efforts, the apparent successful bidder could have met the goal. If the apparent
successful bidder fails to meet the goal, but meets or exceeds the average DBE
participation obtained by other bidders, you may view this, in conjunction with other
factors, as evidence of the apparent successful bidder having made good faith
efforts.

from monthly to quarterly.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KELLY WETMORE, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES/CITY
CLERK +��
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED ORDINANCE REPEALING,
AMENDING, AND ADDING PROVISIONS TO TITLES 8, 9, 12, & 15 OF
THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE MUNICIPAL CODE
DATE: MAY 24, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council introduce an Ordinance for first reading by title only
repealing, amending, and adding provisions to Titles 8, 9, 12, & 15 of the City of Arroyo
Grande Municipal Code to provide internal consistency with current City policy,
procedures, and practices.
FUNDING:
There is no fiscal impact.
DISCUSSION:
In 2003, staff initiated a departmental review and update process whereby each title of
the Municipal Code would be reviewed by the affected departments to ensure that Code
provisions comply with the City's current policies and practices. There are many
sections of the Code that need to be updated and/or simplified in order to make it
internally consistent with City policy, procedure and practice and to provide an effective,
user-friendly document for the Council, City staff, the Superior Court, and the general
public.
In March of 2005, staff began the final phase of the review process. During this review,
it was determined that Title 13 (Public Works) was in need of a comprehensive update
and would be handled separately by the Public Works Department. These changes are
expected to be presented to the City Council in July 2005. Additionally, the Police
Department identified two revisions in Titles 8 & 9 that were inadvertently excluded from
the previous clean-up Ordinance (Ordinance No. 556). It is being recommended at this
time to repeal Section 8.36.050, which is an infraction penalty clause related to
enforcement of the Tobacco Ordinance. Currently, Chapter 1.16 of the Code (Penalty
Provisions) provides that violations of the Municipal Code shall constitute a
misdemeanor unless otherwise designated as an infraction. It has been recommended
by the Police Chief and City Attorney, and supported by the County Public Health

PROVISIONS TO TITLES 8, 9, 12 & 15 OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE MUNICIPAL CODE

Department, that due to the potential seriousness of repeat offenses concerning the
sale of tobacco to minors, that violations be subject to the penalty provisions set forth in
Chapter 1.16. This Chapter does provide the City with discretion for charging an offense
as either a -misdemeanor or an infraction, and is also consistent with the penaity
provision in Section 8.38.130 of the Code relating to the licensing of tobacco retailers,
which was adopted by the City Council in February 2005.
The other provision requested by the .Police Department is the addition of a
section in Chapter 9.04 (Offenses Against Public Peace) of Title 9 that includes a
breastfeeding exception to the public nudity regulations, as required by State law.
It should also be noted that the Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Department is
currently working on a comprehensive review and update of the City's Community Tree
Ordinance. Recommended modifications in this clean-up Ordinance regarding
provisions in the Community Tree Ordinance are intended to create consistency in the
Code with current City policy regarding removal of trees on City property when
necessary for infrastructure repairs. Trees are only removed when they cannot be
saved through other measures and are deemed to be unsafe. Tress are no longer
removed for the convenience of avoiding future repairs unless it is determined the
repairs will be an ongoing and frequent problem.
The remaining revisions contained in the proposed Ordinance are minor and/or clerical
in nature, dealing with organizational and grammatical changes and updating provisions
to reflect current City practices. An overview of some of the more substantive proposed
amendments to the Code includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Repeal definition of "Parks and recreation subcommittee" from Section 12.06.020 —
In past practice, three of the five members selected by the Parks and Recreation
Commission served as the parks and recr�ation tree subcommittee. This provision
is being repealed as the City's most recent practice has been to have the full Parks
and Recreation Commission make recommendafions regarding tree issues.
• Repeal Section 15.04.020. Amendments — Section 202(d) — Uniform Administrative
Code. This Secfion is being repea/ed as it is a duplicative provision. Regulations
regarding Stop Orders are included in the Uniform Building Code, which is adopted
by reference in its entirety in Section 15.04.010 of the Municipal Code.
• Repeal Section 15.04.070. Water-saving devices. Repealed provisions in this
section were considered duplicative of language in Section 8.32.040.

DISCUSSION:
Council Member Guthrie
On April 26, 2005 under City Council Member Items,
requested that an interpretation of General Plan policies under Objective Ag1 of the
Agriculture, Conservation and Open Space Element be formally brought se and scope
' for discussion. The purpose of discussion is to clarify the intended purpo
of policies aimed at conserving prime farmland soils as they relate to differences
between properties currently or recently zoned agricu�ture and those that are currently
zoned residentiallcommercial or other uses, and determine if a General Plan
Amendment is necessary to Substantiate the clarification.
During the 2001 General Plan Update, much of the discussion during the public hearing
process focused on issues related to Agricultural protection and preservation (see
Attachments 1-6 for City Council meeting minutes). These concerns are reflected in the
final objectives and policies in the Agriculture, Conservation and Open Space Element.
CITY COUNCIL
INTERPRETATION OF OBJECTIVE Ag1 OF THE AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION
AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
MAY 24, 2005
PAGE 2 OF 5
Objective Ag1 and ensuing policies of the Agriculture, Conservation and Open Space
Element are included in Attachment 7.
The policy statements and implementing policies of Objective Ag1 are specific and clear
in their intent to conserve prime farmland soils, but clarification may be needed
regarding the application of the policies to non-agricultural zoned properties. Per the
2001 General Plan, al� Class I and Class II soils are considered "prime soils", which
exist in many land use districts including the Village Core, Mixed Use, and Single Fami�y
Residential. The question is whether the intent of Objective Ag1 was to preserve and
protect all properties within the City containing prime soils, or only those properties
specifically designated as "farmland" by virtue of an Agriculture and/or C/OS land use
designation. In other words, if the overall Objective does not apply to non-agricunural
designated properties, then the policies that follow would also not apply. The question
then becomes whether the language in Objective Ag1 is sufficient to guide decision
makers, or whether a General Plan Amendment is warranted to further clarify the intent
behind the Objective.
Objective Ag 1 reads: Avoid and/or mitigate loss of prime farmland soils and
conserve non-prime Agriculture use and natural resources.
Two underlying policies to objective Ag1 are particularly relevant. Policv Statement
AAy1-1 reads: "Designate prime farmland soils that are not predominantly committed to
non-Agricultural development as Agriculture (Ag) and/or Agriculture Preserve (AgP),
whether or not in current agricultural productive use."
Additionally, Policv Statement Ap1-4 reads: Loss of prime farmland soils shall refer to
their unavailability for agricultural use. Loss may occur through natural causes or
development such as coverage (e.g., paving, construction of buildings, etc.), or
conversion to urban/suburt�an use (including residential yards/gardens and recreational i
areas)..."
In 2003 staff prepared the "Report on Conservation of Prime Agricultural Resources for
the City of Arroyo Grande" (see Attachment 8 for "2003 Report") that included specific
recommendations to implement the 2001 General Plan regarding agricuRural
preservation. Subsequent actions approved by the City Council based on the 2003
Report included amendments to General Plan land use designations and Development
Code revisions to implement General Plan policies under Objective Ag1, including
designating all prime farmland parcels not predominantly committed to non-agricultural
use as Agriculture (AG) pursuant to Ag1-1 (City Council Resolutions 3699, 3711, 3739
and Ordinance 550).
In conducting environmental review for development projects, ambiguities remain
regarding the definition of "conversion" of prime farmland within the scope of
environmental review. Generally, a checklist provided in the California Environmental
___ �
CITY COUNCIL
INTERPRETATION OF OBJECTIVE Ag7 OF THE AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION
AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
MAY 24, 2005
PAGE 3 OF 5
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines is used to determine the level of significance of a
potential impact. For agricultural impacts, the checklist refers to questions regarding:
• Conversion of prime farmlands to a non-agricultural use;
• A conflict with existing zoning for an agricuitural use or Williamson Act contract;
or
. Another change that, by their location or nature, could result in conversion of
farmland to a non-agricultural use.
Each impact may require different mitigation depending upon the policies/requirements
in place in a city's general plan or development code. In 2003, Ordinance 550 was
adopted (Attachment 9) which required mitigation for the conversion of agricultural lands
in section 16.12.170(F) acquisition and dedication of a farmland conservation easement
or, potentially, the payment of an in-lieu fee. This mitigation is available for the
conversion of farmland if all applicable project findings, CEQA findings and a statement
of overriding considerations can be made.
There are three definitions that may clarify if the intent of the General Plan is to require
such mitigation for the development of property that is not zoned agriculture but
contains prime soils. The first definition is for "loss off prime farmland soils" which is
found within General Plan Implementing Policy Ag1-4.1, mentioned above, in reference
to establishing a "threshold of signficance" for CEQA analysis, and which states: "Loss
of prime farmland soils shall refer to their unavailability for agricultural use."
The second applicable definition is "conversion"which was defined in the 2003 report as
"the zone change of a property from agriculture to any other land use category in order
to allow for the construction of urban infrastructure or buildings:"
The third applicable definition includes a definition of "agricultural land or farmland"
which has been codified in the Development Code (Ordinance 550) as: "Those land
areas of the counry and/or city specifically designated or zoned as Agriculture,
Agriculture Preserve or AgricuRural General".
The General Plan Land Use Map and the City's zoning maps specify land use
categories to clarify allowable uses for each district. It is important to note, that
agricultural operations are not permitted uses in residential or mixed use/commercial
districts and as such, the lands within the City that are not designated for Agriculture are
unavailable for those uses according to the General Plan and Development Code
regulations.
Given this language, it appears that proposed development on prime soils in a non- I
agricultural district that does not require a zone or land use change does not constitute
a loss of prime farmland because it is already converted and therefore a project would
not require environmental mitigation for conversion as outlined in the General Plan and
implementing ordinances. This has been the interpretation of the Objective Ag1 by
CITY COUNCIL
INTERPRETATION OF OBJECTIVE Ag7 OF THE AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION
AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
MAY 24, 2005
PAGE 4 OF 5
staff based upon the language in the General Plan, recommendations in the 2003
Report, and the subsequent General Plan and Development Code amendments related
to the conservation of agriculture. Mitigation is required, however, for every project that
may othervvise impact agriculture due to its location or nature, regardless of zone,
including the provision of an appropriate buffer area between agricultural and non-
agricultural uses:
In consideration of an interpretation of General Plan Objective Ag1, all other policies of
the Agriculture, Conservation and Open Space Element must be considered to avoid
inconsistencies. Together, these objectives and policies support the interpretation that
avoidance or mitigation of the loss of prime farmland soils and conservation of non-
prime agricultural and natural resource lands are applicable to properties designated
Agriculture or Conservation/Open Space on the General Plan land use map (See Ag 1-
2, 1-3, Ag3-1, 3-3, 3-4, 3-5, 3-6, 3-9, 3-10, 3-11, 3-12, 3-13, 3-14, and 3-15 in
partieular). The policies distinguish between properties designated Agriculture and
those predominantly committed to non-Agricultural development. There are numerous
areas throughout the City that are composed of prime farmland soils but designated
with non-Agricultural use classifications on the 2001 General Plan land use map. Most
of the Village Core Downtown, Village Mixed Use, Traffic Way Mixed Use and Village
Residential zones are urban developments on prime farmland soils. Similarly, the
Greenwood Tract near Branch Mill and Coach Roads, the Arroyo Grande High School
vicinity including several churches and single-family subdivisions, and the Valley Road
area further south are urban developments on prime farmland soils. Infill projects in
these areas such as the East Village Plaza have not previously required mitigation for
conversion of prime farmland soils since none were designated Agriculture or in
agricultural production when development was sought.
Other undeveloped (or underdeveloped) properties which are located on prime farmland
soils, but considered predominantly committed to non-Agricultural development include
the Myrtle/Cherry/Lierly Lane Rural Residential zoned Neighborhood Plan area and the
southeast corner of Traffic Way and Cherry Avenue zoned Traffic Way Mixed Use.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration:
— Require no further action;
— Provide an interpretation of Objective Ag1 that does not require a General Plan ,
Amendment but requires an ordinance to:
1) e.g. clarify a level of significance in Development Code Section
16.12.170(F) that development of prime soils that are not zoned agriculture
does not require mitigation for conversion but does require all necessary
mitigation for other potential impacts to agriculture according to the project
specific environmental review; or
CITY COUNCIL

AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT

2) e.g. modify a level of significance requirement in the Development Code
Section 16.12.170(F) to include the development of prime soils on
properties that are not zoned agriculture as a significant impact requiring
mitigation for the conversion of agricultural lands;
- Direct staff to retum with an appropriate resolution amending the General Plan to
clarify the interpretation of Objective Ag1;
- Provide direction to staff.

Council Member Lubin requested discussion on Land Use Study Area #7Sb. - South
of East Cherry Avenue, East of Traffic Way frontage. He recommended the Council
reconsider retaining the current Agricuiture classification and supported converting
the area to single-family residential, medium density due to the residential homes and
infrastructure already surrounding the property. Mayor Lady and Council Member
Runels concurred with Council Member Lubin.
Council Member Dickens stated that it was important that this vital agricuftural
resource be protected. He referred to the City's Right-to-Farm Ordinance and read
portions of it for the record. He stated that if the zoning was converted because
farming was inconvenient for the surrounding area, then the City should repeai the
Ordinance. He asked the Councii to consider continuing discussion on this land use
area in order to consider additional information.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to the petitions received, which indicated far more
persons in favor of preserving agriculture than developing it. He stated that the
sentiments of the public speakers do not outweigh the results of the survey, and that
the surveys should not be overlooked. He felt that efforts to urbanize this parcel
should not be considered as it would set a precedent. He stated he would not
support conversion and asked the Council to consider other alternatives.
Council and staff discussion ensued regarding the General Plan Update review
process, and specifically, the sequence used by the Council to discuss land use
study areas and General Plan policies. City Manager Adams explained the process.
Following further discussion, there was consensus of the Council on Land Use Study
Area 7Sb to revise the recommended designation in the draft General Plan to convert
the area from Agriculture to Single-Family Residential, Medium Density.
Mayor Lady called a break at 9:10 p.m. At 9:21 p.m., Mayor Lady reconvened the
meeting.
Mayor Lady requested discussion on Land Use Study Area 7Eb - East Myrtle, East
Cherry and East Cherry Extension East of Noguera Place South of Arroyo Grande
Creek, Including Lierly Lane. Council Member Dickens declared a conflict of interest
due to property related interests and stepped down from the dais. Council and staff
discussion ensued regarding the designation of a conceptual neighborhood
development plan for the area with a range of densities for the subject 22 acres.
There was consensus of the Council to pursue this alternative.

Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara requested discussion on Land Use Study Area 4 - Royal Oak
Estates. He referred to problems surrounding the area such as slope instability,
siltation issues, traffic/air quality impacts, and water supply impacts.
Foliowing discussion, there was consensus of the Council to revise the
recommendation to allow a maximum of 15 dwelling units at 1 dwelling unit per 1.5
acres, exclusive of the tree preservation easement area shown as C/OS.
Mayor Lady requested discussion on Land Use Study Area 2 - Rancho Grande at
Noyes Road. He stated that the recommendation of 1 dwelling unit per parcel was
not reasonable. He stated he supports the original Planned Development (PD)
combining designation allowing up to 35 du maximum.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated that there were not 53 buildable acres in this area. He
spoke of the high liquefaction factor of the terrain and the accompanying risk factors
associated with developing the property. He suggested that the Council revisit this
Land Use Study Area after review of the Safety Element.
Mayor Lady and Council Members Lubin and Runels supported the original
recommendation to classiTy the area as Planned Development (PD) combining
designation allowing up to 35 du maximum.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara requested discussion on Land Use Study Area 5 - Printz,
Noyes, and Oak Park Roads - Northern Sphere of Influence. Following Council and
staff discussion, there was unanimous support to exclude the entire Sphere of
Influence area from the City's Urban Reserve and to request County referral to the
City Council of all development proposals, subject to County LUE amendment to
require minimum parcel size of 2 1/2 acres per dwelling unit.
Mayor Lady referred to the parcels on Sunset Drive (Kapp/Karp) and Alder Street
(Alder House) and supported retaining the current classifications so as to avoid
creating any non-conforming status of the parcels. The Council concurred with this
recommendation.
Council Member Dickens referred to comments previously made by Mr. King
regarding the Vanderveen property. Council and staff discussion ensued regarding
preservation of agricultural property. The Council concurred in discussing this parcel
further following deliberations on the proposed General Plan policies.
Mayor Lady suggested and the Council concurred to adjourn the meeting prior to
beginning consideration of the draft Generai Plan Update Policy Document and
Elements and to defer the discussion until the Special Meeting on August 23, 2001.

Keith Higgins, Higgins and Associates, gave an overview of the traffic model analysis
and responded to questions from Council regarding his qualifications and
background, as well as that of his staff; traffic counts; defining "levei of service';
explaining levei of service threshold volumes for various roadway types; methods of
calculating level of service; whether there would be impacts to dreulation on lo�cal
streets over the next twenty years if expansion to Highway 101 were not made;
explaining that annual increases in traffic are typically based on economic factors;
and explaining that Caltrans has not given any timeline for the expansion of Highway
101 to six lanes.
Rob Strong, General Plan Consultant, responded to questions from Council
regarding the relation between the treffic model and Circulation Element. He
explained that the traffic modei attempts to identify deficiencies as a result of land
use proposals; explained the CEQA process and analysis to identify where traffic falls i
below a level of service "C"; and explained that the model basically identifies existing
deficiencies in the circulation system and provides a technical basis for the overall
General Plan.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara opened the Public Hearing. Members of the Public speaking
to the Council were:
Carie Randolph, Sierra Drive, stated that traffic considerations must be taken into
account before projects are approved. She commented that the City has the

Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to Exhibits 15 & 16 of the Traffic Model Analysis and
questioned how delay times were determined, specifically referring to delay times at
Camino Mercado and W. Branch. Discussion ensued regarding how estimations and
calculations are derived to obtain intersection levels of service.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked questions regarding the Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ)
as follows: If TAZ 3 included the Sheppel #3 project and if TAZ 4 included the
proposed senior housing project on Camino Mercado. Consultant Strong replied that
those projects were not inclUded. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara requested the traffic modei
be updated and refined to incorporate these projects. He asked if the buildings not
yet constructed within the Five Cities Center were factored in to the analysis.
Consultant Strong replied yes, the policies provide for project-related traffic study.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked if TAZ 35 includes the acreage south of Halcyon at EI
Camino Real. Consultant Strong replied yes. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated there
was no designation for TAZs 65 and 66. Consultant Strong replied that TAZ 65 is
located on the east side of S. Valley Road and TAZ 66 is the area called Vista Del
Mar (Tract 2207). Mayor Pro Tem asked that this information be reflected in the
model. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked which TAZ encompasses the proposed ALC
annexation. Consultant Strong replied TAZ 70.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to IntersectioNStreet Segment Operations and
pointed out that the intersection at Halcyon/EI Camino and the roadway segment
south of EI Camino Real were the most problematic segments in the City. He asked
if these areas were addressed in this analysis. Consultant Higgins replied no, due to
the interchange alternatives that are addressed in the Brisco Road/Halcyon/Hwy 101
PSR. Discussion ensued on additional costs associated with analyzing the areas.
Consultant Higgins estimated it would cost approximately $500 to add this study area
to the model. Following discussion, there was consensus of the Council to direct
staff/consultant to add the Halcyon/EI Camino intersection to the study model at a
cost not to exceed $500.
There was discussion regarding use of the terms "peak hour" versus "peak period".
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara suggested the City conduct its own traffic counts to
determine what "peak periods" Arroyo Grande really experiences, not based on
dated reference manual data, in order to establish a realistic LOS policy.
At this time, discussion began on the draft Circulation Element objectives and
policies. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to CT2 - Attain and maintain Level of
Service (LOS) 'C' or better on all streets and controlled intersections. He expressed
concern with the proposed wording of policy CT2-1, stating he was not comfortable
with mitigating to LOS 'D' with a promise of future improvement. Consultant Strong
explained that the proposed policy allows flexibility in order to mitigate potential
Special City Council Meeting
August 23, 2007
Page 5
impacts. Council Member Dickens commented that if the City allows mitigation to
LOS 'D', there would be deterioration of the City's circulation system. He suggested
holding firm on the LOS 'C' standard and making it difficuit to degrade circulation
within the City. He suggested re-wording the policy statement to allow projects with
Statement of Overriding Considerations and mitigation to LOS 'D' to proceed. He
said the goal was to maintain an LOS 'C'. Consultant Strong addressed "potential"
versus "existing" deficiencies within the circulation system. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara
suggested "raising the bar" on policy CT2-1. Council Member Lubin agreed,
however, he believed that because the policy would be in effect city-wide, some
flexibility was necessary. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated he would agree with
mitigation to LOS 'D' if such mitigation occurs within a specific period of time.
Councii Member Lubin moved to direct staff to come back with modified wording for
policy CT2-1. The Council unanimously concurred.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to policy CT2-3 and suggested reviewing and
lowering the 20-peak hour trip standard. He commented that he believed Santa
Barbara County has a 5 peak-hour trip trigger. He stated that as the City gets closer
to build-out, the City will need to look harder at cumulative tra�c impacts.
Council Member Lubin concurred and stated he would like to see charts listing peak
hour trip standards from other jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
Counties. He suggested directing staff to compile the information and return to
Council for further discussion. The Council unanimously agreed.

regard to the identification of E. Cherry Street as a collector and a minor arterial. He
asked why the two documents were inconsistent. Consultant Strong responded by
explaining how the Traffic Model Analysis is used, and that the minor arterial label for
E. Cherry is incorrect.
Council Member Dickens questioned the wording in the draft Circulation Element
about E. Cherry Avenue as a study area for connection alternatives. In response to
questions and comments, Consultant Strong clarified that the Public Works
Standards for street section and design on pages CE-5 and CE-6 would not be part
of the General Plan Update and also suggested deleting the Implementation
Measures listed on pages CE-10 and CE-11 as they would not be part of the Policy
document.
There was consensus of the Councii regarding the revisions noted.
Consultant Strong reviewed Policy Ag1�.2 and responded to comments and
questions from Council. Council discussion ensued with regard to possible mitigation
for loss of areas having prime 6rmland soils. Council comments included the fact
that there was not enough agriculturel land in Arroyo Grande to replace agricultural
land on a 2:1 ratio; clarifying the intent of the policy to discourage loss of prime
farmland soils; the need to implement mitigation measures that are unique; how the
General Plan policies are used if an objective could not be met; suggestions to either
delete Policy P�q1�.2 or modify the language; the impact of govemment restrictions
on farmland; the use of conservation easements to preserve farmland; the creation of
an irrlieu fee as a mitigation measure; and consideration of a policy requiring
protection of prime farmland soils in another suitable location at a ratio of 1:1.

Consultant Strong gave a brief review of the Planning Commission's
recommendations regarding the Housing Element policies and objectives. Mayor
Pro Tem Ferrara referred to policy H1� and asked what was meant by
"accommodating the identified housing needs". He stated there was no mention of
the City's build-out population, nor is there any strategy to plan infrastructure, public
facilities, and resource system improvements to sustain a wide variety of housing
types. He suggested revising the statement to ensure if is consistent with our
capability to sustain ar "build-ouY' population. Consultant Strong explained that
"identified housing needs" refers to State and SLOCOG determinations of individual
City responsibility for addressing regional estimates.
Council and staff discussion ensued regarding irrlieu fees for affordable housing.
Following Council comments and discussion on policies H1-4, H1 -7, and H1-8.3, the
Council reached consensus on the Housing Element with modifications, as follows:

land and appropriate residential densities to accommodate the identified housing
needs, and shall plan infrastructure, public facflities and resource system
improvements to sustain a wide variety of housing types consistent with the General
Plan buildout capability, and resource and infrastructure contraints.
H1-7.1: Such low and moderate-income housing units may be either for rent or sale,
but shall remain affordable for a term to be detertnined on a case by case basis but
not less than 10 years. Sites on which fewer than 12 units are allowed shall be
excepted from on-site construction requirements, but the City shall consider an "irr
lieu affordable housing fee" payment instead of low and moderate-income housing
construction. Th'e fee shall be equal to 3% of the estimated value of new
construction as computed for building permit, and utilized by the City for qualified low
and moderate income housing construction, site acquisition, rehabilitation or
acquisition of such units.
H1-8.3: For subdivisions or developments of less than 25 units, or in other cases
where the City determines that it is not practical or feasible to compiy with orrsite

construction of such units, the City may allow as altematives: a) the dedication of
land sufficient to accommodate the required number of low income housing units; or
b) payment of irrlieu affordable housing fee. The fee shall be equal to at least 3% of
the value of new construction as computed for building permit, and utilized by the City
for quaffied low and moderate income housing construction, site acquisition,
rehabilitation or acquisition of such units; c) the City may require the developer to
fund an analysis to determine which alternatives would best enable the provision of
low income household housing units.
SAFETY ELEMENT
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara recommended adding mitigation as it relates to seismic
hazards of unreinforced masonry buildings. He suggested that a sentence be
inserted such as "Seismic plan has been addressed in the City's retofit program."

Unreinforced Masonry Buildings) be moved to page SE-11, following the section
entitled "Ground Shaking Hazards".
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to page SE-14, Policy S5-2 (Hazardous Materials)
and requested adding a policy regarding "Community Right to Know" laws.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to page SE-15, Policy S5-5 and stated the Safety

to the hazard of unhealthy trees requiring removal for human safety.
Consultant Strong mentioned that Planning Commissioner Costello had inquired
about evacuation routes and stated that the City's Emergency Plan is addressed in
the General Plan.

Council comments and discussion, the Council reached consensus on the Safety
Element with modifications, as follows:

proposed and existing noise levels.
Following Council comments and discussion, the Council reached consensus on
modifying Implementation Measure N1-2, and adding Implementation Measure N1-3,
as follows:
N1-2 Where mitigation of existinq noise levels in accordance with the policies and
standards of this Noise Element is not feasible, the City Council may reduce or waive
the applicable policies and standards to the degree needed to allow reasonable use
of property, provided noise levels are mitigated to the maximum extent possible.
N1-3 Where mitigation of noise levels from a proposed development project in
accordance with policies and standards of this element cannot be achieved, the City
Council may require a reduction in proposed uses relative to size, scale, and
intensity. If excessive noise levels cannot be mitigated, the project shall be denied.
In instances where mitigation measures will reasonably reduce noise levels near the
required standards, the City Council may be flexible in its evaluation of Policies and
Standards. This shall be done on a case by case basis.

intrusive grading, and removal of native oak trees.
Consultant Strong recommended that the language be added under LU2-2 as LU2-

independent of density categories and placed as a stand-alone policy. Consultant
Strong agreed and there was Council consensus to move LU3-9 to a new subsection
in LU2.

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 concems 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 concerned it be handied 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 bartier to
development in the City, there is no problem with water; in discussing the traffic
issue, it is known from the consultanYs 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 probab�y 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 2001 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE POLICY DOCUMENTS
AND ELEMENTS AND FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL 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 objedive in the Agriculture Element (Ag1)
that had a need for further consideration of refined wording. He acknowledged that there
had been concerns expressed about the definition of prime fartnland 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.
i
�
Council Member Dickens commented that due to the uniqueness of this area it is
impoRant 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 ConsultaM Strong's proposed language in Ag1-1.1, as
follows: 'Prime Farmland Soils shall also include farmland of Statewide importance as

iden
tified in the US ,

Inventory and Monitoring (LIM) Project Soil Survey for San Luis Obispo County,
Califomia, Coastal Part, September t984."
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 abiiity to do what they want with their property. Council Member Runels 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 norrprime 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 '�void, 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 be�ieved that avoiding, minimizing, or mitigating the loss of prime
farmland weakens the policy. He strongly suppoRed 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.
i Mayor Lady asked for each Council Member's position on the additional language to
Ag1-1.1 as proposed by Council Member Dickens.

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 Ag1-1.1.
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 ron-
prime Agriculture use and natural resource lands.
Ag1-1.1 —"...Prime farmland soils shall also include farmtand of Statewide importance as
identified in the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Services, outlined in the Land
Inventory and Monitoring (LIM) Project Soil Survey for San Luis Obispo County,
California, Coastai 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 b 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:
f�q1-1 — 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.
Council Member Dickens requested adding a statement under Ag2-1 to read as follows:
"Support requests that seek to provide needed surface and/or grou�d 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 effoRs".
; There was consensus of the Council to add the statement as policy 2-1.2 as follows:
qg 21.2 —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,
Special City Council Meeting
October 3,2001
Page 6
Conservation and Open Space Element which states that it is an integral part of the Land
Use Element.
Consultant Strong referred to alternative wording provided in Ag3-1, F�q3-14, Ag&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 — , Designate non-prime farmland 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
othervvise classified and partiallv develooed for non-Aaricultural uses.
Ag3-14 — Consider re-classification iate-d�aa-use�-of aonly9if end henh elp cel oetset
parcels) ' ' �
of parcels is less than the minimum size (e.g. Ieaallv non-conformina as to area) and is
"isolated"from other agricultural uses.
Ag3-14.1 — "Isolated" shall refer to a parcel or set of parcels being predominatelv
seoarated from other nearbv Aqriculture areas or predominatelv surrounded (ea-all-feuF
si�es� by existing urban non-aqricultural uses, such that it lacks contiguity with or
connection to other areas of existina or ootential agricultural use.
Ag3-14.2 — In cases considered for conversion re-desigaatiea, 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 sit�specific
circumstances".
Council discussion ensued with regard to minimum agricultural buffer distances. Mayor
Pro Tem Ferrara suggested addition of wording to include consideration of established or
existing farming operations or practices. The Council reached consensus on AgS2.2 as
follows:
' P�q5-2.2 — 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 existinq farminq
operations or aractices.
Special City Council Meeting
October 3, 2001
Page 7
Council Member Dickens referred to Ag�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 Agr2.4 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 winc�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 existina farmina
operations or practices.
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, unique to the Citv or contribute to the rural small town character of.the
C�.
Council Member Dickens requested an Implementation Measure be added as
Ag/C/OS.21 as follows: 'Suuoo�t the establishment of a local fundina mechanism, as
identified bv Citv Council which allocates funds toward the voluntarv purchase of
aqricultural 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 LU�12 directing
staff to initiate at the earliest feasibie 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 industriai district shall be considered pursuant to
Conditional Use Permit approval (Development Code Section �03-050) or Planned Unit
Special City Council Meeting
October 3,2007
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 "CEQA 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
�+adiags. Council concurred.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to Page CE9, CTr6.2 and stated he was not sure it
needed to remain as a General Plan Poiicy. Discussion ensued regarding Project Study
Reports, funding plans for projects; and the ro�es of County of San Luis Obispo, Caltrans,
and SLOCOG in reviewing regional projects. Foilowing discussion, Council reached
consensus on the following revision to CTr6.2 as follows:
CT5-6.2 — Request that the County, Caltrans, and SLOCOG consider proportional
participation in ' proiects involvina reaional traffic
im cts.
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, Easi
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 norrpesticide farming uses. He
Special City Council Meeting
October 3,2001
Page 9
explained this would allow the zoning change of the 1.&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 Mixed Use Planned Development.
City Attorney 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 clariTying 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 agriculturel
related use, and would also contain a Higfiway 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.
Special City Council Meeting
October 3,2001
Page 10
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 appiicant 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 poRions of the Ordinance that said property was rezoned from "A"
Agriculture to "PrD" 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.
City Attorney 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 Roviding the Ordinance was to
display the intent of the owners in the area at that particular time, the intent of the
iCouncil 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 norragriculture, it would set a precedent. He
further discussed some of the agricultural and open space uses surrounding the subject
property.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked if the modification to Ag1-1.1 with regard to prime
� 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
i Attorney Carmel explained that the policy comes into effect when it is adopted which
would be simultaneously with the adoption of the new land designations.
Special City Council Meeting '
October 3, 2001
Page 11
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 suppoRed
classifying the property as Low Density (1 unit/acre).
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-density
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 1998 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.
Council Member Runels asked the Mayor if the Council was going to move forward to
give some direction on the matter. Mayor Lady said yes.
Councii Member Runels stated he would like to see Medium Density (4.5 units per
acre); however, he stated it appeared from the discussion that there was more
support for Medium-Low Density which would be 2.5 units per acre.
Mayor Lady stated he could support the Medium-Low Density(2.5 units per acre).
Council Member Lubin stated he wouid support Low Density (1 unit per acre). He
stated this was a transitional area and it should be built out properly.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated that he could not support the density that the Mayor
was proposing.
Council Member Runels referred back to the Low Density classification (1 unit per
acre) for discussion. Mayor Lady stated that density was not what he had envisioned
for the property.
Special City Council Meeting
October 3,2001
Page 12
Council Member Lubin stated it was not a proper location for a higher density
classification, and that it was more of a rural area that he did want to see urbanized.
He stated that one-acre lots would be more appropriate for this area.
Mayor Lady commented that based on the discussion, there was no consensus on
either the Low-Medium (2.5 units per acre) or the Low Density (1unit per acre)
classification.
Council Member Lubin commented he thought 'rf no consensus was reached, then it
would stay, as is, a 5-acre Agriculture parcel.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated he would support that.
Mayor Lady inquired of Council Member Lubin whether he had made a suggestion of
2 units per acre.
Council Member Lubin stated that would still be half acre lots, similar to Rancho
Grande, and that would be too much for that area.
Mayor Lady commented on the difference in topography between the two locations.
Council Member Runels referred back to Council Member Lubin's suggestion of one
unit per acre and giving the applicant the option of saying whether he wants to do '
something with the property or not.
Mayor Lady stated he wouid support it.
Following further Council comments, consensus �nes reached by a majority of the
Council Members for conversion of the parcel from Agriculture to Low Density Single
Family Residential (1 unit per acre).
Mayor Lady referred to Land Use Study Area 7Eb - East Myrtle, East Cherry and East
Cherry Eutension East of Noguera Place and South of Arroyo Grande Creek, including
Lierly 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
providing for an agriculture buffer to the southeast and Consenation/Open Space along
, Arroyo Grande Creek to the north and east.
Special City Council Meeting
October 3, 2007
Page 13 '
Mayor Lady stated he could support that recommendation. Following discussion, it was
determined that consensus had already been reached on this land use area, and there
was no change.
Council Member Dickens returned 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
consVaints 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
concerns 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 determination with regard to ihe
number of units. Council Member Runels agreed. Following discussion, there was
majority consensus to leave the classification as Planned Development (PD) 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 3trong 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
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 performance 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.

Gene Blanchard, 419 Greenwood Drive, protesting decision of Council for future
development of the parcel adjacent to the Greenwood tract and the opening up of the
dead�nd street.
Jenny Motine invited the Council to a showing of the movie Rachel's Daughters on
October 24�' at 5:30 p.m. at Cal Poly in the Pertorming Arts Center in Philips Hall.
Colleen Martin, 855 Olive, spoke on behalf of Mike and Lynn Titus at 404 Lierly Lane,
reading a letter into the reeord opposing the recommended zoning of the property on
Lierly Lane, E. Cherry and Myrtle. On behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Titus, she recommended
the density be reduced to 2.5 units per acre which would be consistent with the other
lots.
George Smith spoke in opposition regarding the decision to rezone the parcel next to
the Greenwood tract and spoke of a past initiative to overturn a zone change decision at
this location. He stated the voters overwhelmingly overturned the decision then and the
issue may have to be turned over to the people again through an initiative process.
Ella Honeycutt stated the buffer concept was agreed upon after months of discussion
and the issue was needed to stop the plan to build houses all the way to Lopez Lake.
She stated that prime farmland that was designated as an agricultural buffer zone by
putting a "D" overlay on the land use maps are now subject to change. She spoke of
the domino effect of development and referred to Mr. Vanderveen's request for one
zone change. She asked that if one change was granted, everything should be
consistent and compatible and aN the others have to be changed. She said you could
not arbitrarily change one parcel and leave the others. She encouraged the Council to
protect the farmland.
Colleen Martin, 855 Olive, read letter into the record highlighting her involvement as a
concemed citizen with a history of concem for planning in the City. She spoke
regarding Map Area 7E located at Myrtle Avenue and Lierly Lane. She spoke in
opposition to zoning this area being any denser than the smallest lot that currently is
grandfathered into this area. She said that this property should not be zoned any
smaller than the smallest lot currentiy in the neighborhood, which are 2.5 units per acre.
Ed Harrison, 441 Lierly Lane, spoke in opposition to zoning recommendations for Lierly
Lane. He also spoke on behalf of Roberta Oriental, 444 Lierly Lane, who also opposed
higher density zoning in this area.

Bruce Hensley, 289 Tally Ho Road, stated that change is inevitable and the City has
grown. He stated planned moderate growth is what has to be looked at. He supported
Bruce Vanderveen in his efforts to build more affordable housing in this area.
Bill McCann, 575 Crown Hill Road, referred to the action taken by Council on October
3ro with regard to the upzoning of the Vanderveen property. He stated he had originally
lived on Tanner Lane and it did not take him long to realize that the Greenwood Manor
development was a mistake and should not have been built on prime agricultural land.
He referred to other developments such as Valley Gardens, the High School, the
Mortuary which were all built on prime agricultural land. He said at many times the
people of Arroyo Grande have expressed their desire that prime agricultural land stay in
agriculture. He gave a brief overview of the land next to Greenwood Manor and how it
was given an Agricultural designation with a "D" overlay on the parcels. He stated he
believed that Mr. Vanderveen was aware of the restrictions on the property when he
purchased it. He supported keeping the parcel classified as Agriculture and retaining
the current zoning. He stated if changed, it would produce a domino effect for change.
He asked the Council to revisit and change its mind with regard to the zoning on the
Vanderveen property. He further read a letter into the record from B'Ann Smith in
support of preserving Agricultural lands in the City.
William Beeman, 1275 Branch Mill Road, expressed concerns about development of the
parcel next to Greenwood Manor. He gave a brief history of the area and said to let one
parcel be rezoned would be to let all surrounding parcels be rezoned. He supported
preservation of prime agricultural land.
Heather Jensen, 569 May Street, referred to traffic issues related to the recent
construction and road improvements conducted on E. Branch Street and 227. She
referred to the thousands of cars that travel through the Village on 227 and stated that
the City should keep in mind an alternative route to the freeway.
John Famsworth, 407 E. Cherry, referred to the parcel on E. Cherry and supported
proposed development of the property; however, he did not support the Mixed Use
classification. He expressed concems with regard to traffic, other agricultural uses, and
smaller lot sizes. He requested the Council reconsider that the 10-acres be zoned to
have equal size residential lots as those existing on E. Cherry Avenue.
Pat Cusack, 1080 Newsom Springs Road, reiterated comments he made at the October
3rd meeting. He acknowledged the work of the Council and the community on the
General Plan Update. He stated that there were countless opportunities for residents to
give input during the process and thanked the Coundl for those opportunities. He
stated there are times when it is important to grow within the community and there are
times when it makes sense for conversions and/or give opportunities for growth. He
stated that agricultural and residential uses integrate well within tFie City. He stated that
he believed the Vanderveen project would not have any negative impact on his property
and it would not take away any of the prime agricultural land. He said that even though
there is a desire to preserve some agricultural areas, a majority of people also want to

have good decision making behind planning issues. He supported the Council's
decision on the rezoning of the Vanderveen property.
Richard DeBlauw, spoke regarding the five-acre parcel next to Greenwood Manor. He
supported development of one-acre parcels on this property. He aiso referred to the 10-
acres off of E. Cherry Avenue and supported residential development on the parcel.
Matt Gallagher, 520 Leanna, spoke in opposition to breaking up the 5�acre parcel on
Branch Mill Road. He said the property to the west is prime agricultural land that is
being farmed. He spoke of the need for a buffer between single family residential and
farming and said he was not in favor of rezoning the property into smaller parcels.
Mike Greenelsh, 453 Tanner Lane, spoke about traffic issues in the area and the
condition of the road going out to Greenwood Manor. He was not in favor of breaking
the five-acre parcel into smaller one-acre parcels for the development of more houses.
Lorraine Vanderveen, 509 Aloma Lane, referred to their request that will add a few
homes to a City that already has thousands. She referred to testimony that all of Arroyo
Grande was once considered farmland. She explained that when Bruce Vanderveen
purchased the five-acre parcel, he asked to be able to drill a well; however, a weli was
not allowed. She said that discussions at that time with the City, it was determined that
a change from agricultural to residential was a reasonable request. She appealed to
the Council's common sense and logic as it considers Bruce Vanderveen's request and
allow him to make a beautiful transition on his parcel.
Don McHaney, 140 Ruth Ann Way, spoke regarding the E. Cherry Lane and
Vanderveen properties. He supported the creation of one-acre parcels on the
Vanderveen property. As for the E. Cherry property, he said it was in the City,
surrounded by residential and commercial property and it is not rural agriculture. He
supported the conversion of both properties to residential.
Ed Dortman, stated that on August 16"' a majority of the Council agreed to a conversion
of the E. Cherry property from Agriculture to Residential. He said the property was
described as ir�fill, is surrounded by other urban uses and contains the required utilities
to serve the property. He stated the development of the property is a wirrwin situation
for the City to address the problems of the unsafe, narrow street, the area drainage
problem, stopping the use of pesticides in such close proximity to residential uses, and
to help unlock the value of the Japanese Welfare Association land whose sales
proceeds would be donated to the City to begin the campaign for the development of a
new Recreation Center. He spoke about organic farming applications and stated that
designating part of the property as residential and part as agricultural was a new
concept to him. He stated he had not had time to study the Mixed Use idea; however,
he was willing to work with staff to see what could be done with the property.
Gene Blanchard, 419 Greenwood, spoke about the need to improve Branch Mill Road.
He stated a one-inch overiay would not last and he was against further development of
any kind in this area until the street was improved.

9. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING:
9.a. Consideratlon of the 2001 General Plan Update Policy Documents and
Elements and Final Environmental Impact Report(FEIR).
Consultant Rob Strong presented the staff report. Staff recommended the adoption of
three Resolutions which are the culmination of public hearings held on July 31, August
16, August 23, August 28, September 4, September 6, and October 3, 2001. He said
Council discussions have provided direction for policy clarification of all the Elements of
the 2001 General Plan Update and provided for decisions on land use areas that were
considered by and recommended by the Planning Commission. He referred to five
maps which are an integral part of the 2001 General Plan Update Policy Documents
and displayed the Urban Land Use Element Map which reflects the changes directed by
Council at the October 3ro hearing.
Council Member Runels referred to Land Use Area 7E - E. Cherry and Myrtle, and
asked for clarification about previous comments that if the City left the zoning as
recommended by the Planning Commission, that other surrounding properties would
have to also be rezoned. He said he did not think that was correct. Consultant Strong
replied that the current General Plan and land use zoning on the property includes one-
acre lots and many of the existing lots are in excess of one acre. He said the proposed
land use designation in the General Plan would be Single Family Residential Medium
' CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

Density with a required Neighborhood Plan. He said the Neighborhood Plan would be
a prerequisite to any subdivision or parcel map. Under the General Plan, he said there
would be future consideration of Development Code/Zoning Amendments that would
enable Single Family Medium Density development.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked for clarification on procedure: He asked if the Council
would be coming back to the Land Use Map after subsequent discussion on the
individual Elements.
Mayor Lady said the intent was to allow the Council to ask questions of staff, accept
public hearing testimony, and then bring it back to Council for final consideration.
Mayor Lady opened the Public Hearing and invited comments from those in the
audience who wished to be heard on the matter.
Colleen Martin, 855 Olive, also spoke on behalf of Mike Titus, 404 Lierly Lane,
regarding Land Area 7E, opposing the recommended land use classification which
could result in a maximum density of 60-80 units. She said there are currently less than
12 units at this location. She stated she did not support rezoning this area at a higher
density. She indicated that they and many of the residents on Lierly Lane support Mr.
Dorfman's plan to buld on E. Cherry primarily because the road is so unsafe and his
project would be the conduit to getting the road developed. She concluded by
requesting the Council convert the property located in Area 7E back to one per acre.
Wayne King thanked the Council for its consideration regarding the Vanderveen
property.
Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Lady closed the Public Hearing.
Council Member Dickens stated he had several concerns; however, he stated that the
General Plan Update as a whole has resulted in quite a bit of public process and input,
and the City has a document, for the most part, to be proud of. He said the City has
done a gallant job in its participation and iYs been a long, tedious process. He stated
that, for the most part, he was in favor of moving forward with adoption of the
Resolutions; however, he had two minor issues that he thought needed to be addressed
and taken seriously. He said he was concerned that the decision by a majority of the
Council regarding the Vanderveen property upzone lacked the same public notification
and review given the twelve sub-areas identified throughout these proceedings. He
said unlike the twelve sub-areas specifically called out for clarification by the Councii,
the Planning Commission did not review the Vanderveen request nor did they make a
recommendation to the Council. In addition, he stated the public was not notified that
this rezoning request would receive specific consideration. He requested staff to
address his concems regarding the inconsistencies between the tweive sub-areas and
the Vanderveen parcel and explain why the Planning Commission was advised not to
consider nor make recommendations to the Council on the Vanderveen request.

Consultant Strong replied that the Planning Commission did receive a presentation from
Mr. King at the time the Land Use Map that had been distributed on May 21, 2001 for
public review and comment showed the property as Agriculture and Mc King had
' requested Single Family Residential Medium Density. He explained that the Planning
Commission maintained the /\qriculture designation on the Map. He said it was not
proposed as a Land Use Study Area with the previously ident�ed twelve areas;
however, it did receive all legal notice required by law for the purpose of General Plan
Amendment.
Council Member Dickens asked Consultant Strong if it was his understanding that the
Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation was to keep that particular parcel
in Agriculture. Consultant Strong replied yes.
Council Member Dickens referred to Exhibit A in the Statement of Significant
Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures where the twelve sub-areas have been
identified as areas of potential significance with project mitigation measures. He asked
if the maprity Council feels they want to move forward with the recommendation on the
Vanderveen property, would that need to be added to this particular document in
relation to Ag Element Policy Ag1-4 which states that significant criteria will be
established and applied for CEQA analysis as provided by CEQA Guidelines, Section
15064.7 that considers loss of prime soils as a significant adverse environmental
impact.
Consultant Strong stated he had addressed that at a previous meeting and explained �
that because the current General Plan does not contain that policy, that is a proposed
policy that would be adopted concurrent with the new Land Use Element and it would
not be a mandatory interpretation.
Council Member Dickens asked if it was the desire for this Council majority to upzone
the Vanderveen property from Agricultural, with a Design Overlay to restrict further
subdivision, to Low Density Single Family Residential, what was to become of the City
Ordinance currently restricting those seven parcels. He asked if it was recommended
that the existing Ordinance be modified to exclude the Vanderveen property or to
eliminate the Ordinance altogether on these 35 acres of agriculture.
Consultant Strong replied that State law requires within a reasonable amount of time
after adoption of a General Plan that the City must zone consistently. He explained the
zoning/public hearing process for a subsequent Development Code Amendment that
would determine the specifics and would require its own individual environmental
determination.
Council Member Dickens asked if Consultant Strong was suggesting that the actual
proposal that comes forth would then be subject to environmental review or would it
actually be a future Council decision regarding the Ordinance that would be subject to
environmental review.

� Consultant Strong replied that each change, whether it is a Development Code change
initiated by the City or a subdivision and zoning change initiated by a property owner,
; would be subject to CEQA so there would be repeated opportunities to revisit
i specifically any significant effects of any proposed project.
i
I Council Member Dickens stated it was his understanding that the EIR that is being
I considered tonight is the document that would cover any decisions that reflect the land
Use Map being adopted. He asked if the issue of the Ordinance and the upzone of the
Vanderveen property would or would not be dealt with in a separate environmental
review process.
Consultant Strong replied that the Integrated Program EIR, which is a part of the
General Plan Update, discusses in broad terms the cumulative effect of deveiopment of
the City over the 20-year planning period. He stated that in almost all instances, any
significant projects are specifically identified in the EIR as requiring a Project EIR when
the property is considered for development. He said the Vanderveen property was not
specifically addressed; however, it would still be subject to CEQA, an Initial Study would
have to be presented, and if there were any potential effects, those issues could require
further analysis.
Council Member Dickens addressed the Council stating it was his understanding that
the purpose of the General Plan Update was to provide a basis for rational civic
decisior�making. He asked on what grounds does the Vanderveen rezone constitute a
benefit to the public. He asked would the decision not articulate the intentions and
expectations of the City to look favorably upon additional requests, which seek to
rezone small agricultural parcels to single family residential. He asked the Council to
keep in mind that there are only 39 agricultural parcels within the City of Arroyo Grande,
30 parcels of which are 10 acres or less and 25 parcels are five acres or less. He said
the majority of those 25 parcels are within the Greenwood area. He said that the
decision to look at this individual property owner's request is magnified by the land use
surrounding this particular decision and complicated with the design overlay and
ordinance the City currently has in effect. He said he found it ironic that four of the
Council Members ran on a ticket in regard to protection of prime ag land and yet a
majority of the Council is willing to undo an ag mitigation 25-years old that has stood the
test of time. He requested the Council to address what the benefit to the public would
be for this particular decision in regards to future agricultural use and the intentions and
expectations that this message is sending to the other 25 property owners in this
general area.
Mayor Lady responded that he could not speak for his other colleagues on the Council;
however, he respectfully stated that he was elected to represent a constituency in
Arroyo Grande. He said he had been elected three times and he was proud of the
support the commurrty had shown him. He gave assurance that he takes this
responsibility very seriously, and that while he respected Council Member Dickens, he
did not feel an obligation to answer his question because he does not answer to another
Council Member, he answers to the citizens of Arroyo Grande. He concluded by stating
he stood by his decision.

Council Member Dickens asked City Attorney Carmel if the decision to rezone the
; Vanderveen property is approved by Council majority, does the public have any
recourse to amend this decision.
City Attorney Carmel responded yes, and explained that one way was through the
traditional legislative process, explaining that General Plan Amendments can legally
occur at least four times per year. He explained that the other two ways are the powers
reserved to the people under the Califomia and Federal Constitutions, the referendum
and initiative processes.
Council Member Dickens asked if the public chose to do a Referendum, would they
need to look at the specific issue or would they have to look at the General Plan in its
totality.
City Attorney Carmel responded he was hesitant to give advice on this particular issue,
since the City would essentially be the defendant; however, he thought with respect to
this issue because it sits within a General Plan that is going to be adopted as an
integrated whole with the Policies, Elements, and Maps, he would speculate that they
would be required to refer the entire document. He commented that through the
Initiative process, that may be different.
Council Member Dickens referred to the Ag Element, Objective Agi where it says
"Avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate loss of prime soils...". He said that he would have a
difficult time looking at this document based on the fact that in reality what we're doing
is minimizing the impacts out at Greenwood with this decision on the Vanderveen parcel
and he did not think that was appropriate. He stated he believed that the individuais
and his constituents have made it clear that they do not want to piecemeal the City's
agriculture, that poor planning has taken place in the past and we don't want to
duplicate poor planning, but we want to honor and be creative with the land uses that
we currently have. He asked the Council to look again at the wording and eliminate the
word "minimize" to avoid any loss .of prime ag land. He said that if avoidance is
inevitable, then he thought it would be appropriate to mitigate it, not minimize it. He
concluded by saying those were the areas that he had concems with in the document
and he could not move forward and properly represent the people who elected him
without those two changes.
Council Member Lubin thanked the citizens of Arroyo Grande for their input, ideas, and
thoughts. He said it was extremely important b the Council to be able to represent the
City as a whole and that can't be done without hearing all sides of an issue. He aiso
thanked staff who had done an outstanding job in trying to present a document that we
can feel comfortable about and move forward with, including all the changes that were
made during deliberations. He referred to the Vanderveen property and stated he had
given a lot of thought to the entire process and to this property. He said he had a lot of
different reasons to do a lot of different things, such as leave it as it is, change it to High
Density, and he had problems with both sides. He addressed the comment regarding
four of the Council Members who were voted in based on a "preserve Ag" basis. He
explained that there was something to look at in terms of preserving ag and what we, as
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
OCTOBER 9, 2001
PAGE 10
individuals, deem as prime farmable agricultural land. He said that was one of his
concerns and he stood by his original thoughts and would continue to support a very
rural environment of one unit per acre. He supported the General Plan Update as
written; supported the projects that have been proposed in zane changes; and he
believed that he was protecting prime agriculture; however, he was also looking at
' areas that have not been fartned, that have not been changed, and there is a position
that can be taken to move gradually into a rural environment maintaining the character
of Arroyo Grande. He then referred to Land Use Area 7E and stated that it was a tough
decision because there were property owners in that area on both sides of the question.
He said in his discussions with several of the property owners, it appeared that the
majority of the land would not be redeveloped and it would stay as it is today. He stated
he was comfortable with the designation as it stands. He referred to E. Cherry and
stated he believed that it is infill and that it should be residential. He said he believed it
was surrounded, the road condition was a signficant issue, and it should be changed to
residential. He said if there was not a majority to do that, then he would support the
Mixed Use concept; however, he would not support a clear definition at this time without
seeing any project information to assign a percentage to one use or the other. He
concluded by supporting the General Plan Update.
Council Member Runels stated that being in the agriculture business, he had a different
view and opinion of what farmland and prime farmland is and what is economically
viable to farm. He said a lot of these small parcels have been mixed into areas where
they are farmed together by one individual who can make it work because they have the
water supply that is required. He referred to the Vanderveen property and stated he did
not have any problem with changing the land �se designation. He said he believed
once a piece of land is converted it should be to the highest possible density so the land
is not wasted; however, he acknowledged this as a transition area in a rural area and he
could support one unit per acre on the parcel. He then referred to l.and Use Area 7E
and stated he had held discussions with individuals in the area about how to get hooked
up to City services and receive street improvements. He supported the existing
designation. With regard to E. Cherry, he had no problem with the land use conversion;
however, he was not sure about the Mixed Use designation. He concluded by
supporting the General Plan as written and moving forvvard.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara proposed some text changes in Exhibit A, Statement of
Significant Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures, and Exhibit B, Statement of
Overriding Considerations. He requested that the Council agree to additions in Exhibit
A, under General Plan Policy Mitigation, to include references to the following principal
documents: Circulation Element, Land Use Element, Agricultural and Open
Space/Conservation Element, Clean Air Plan (CAP), Drainage Master Plan, and Water
Master Plan. Following discussion, the Council unanimously concurced with Mayor Pro
Tem Ferrara's suggestion.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to Exhibit B and said in looking at the context of each
of the findings for the Statement of Overriding Consideration, he found one that he
believed was out of context and perhaps unnecessary for this particular document. He
requested that Finding#6 be omitted.

Council Member Lubin asked if the content of #6 came out of the City's Economic
Development Plan. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara responded he was referring to a reference
in this particular document of inequitability, unreasonable restriction, and legal action
against the City and stated he did not believe that language was suitable for this
document.
Consultant Strong stated he did not feel it was essential that Finding #6 be made; he
said it could remain either within the Resolution or within the text of the Introduction,
page 13, entitled Constitutional Compliance.
Mayor Lady asked for an opinion from legal counsel. City Attorney Carmel stated he
thought they dealt with different issues. He said the Constitutional Compliance section,
which is geared for one particular scenario, and then Finding #6 was a finding that was
written for the Statement of Overriding Considerations. He explained that it could be
eliminated without effecting the overall defensibility or integrity of the document;
however, it states something that was not stated in any other of the Overriding
Consideration Findings. He also commented that it was the only finding that deals with
economic issues.
Following further Council and staff discussion, the Council unanimously concurred to
amending Finding #6 as follows: "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 opporturtities
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 I
of the City compared to negative impacts of significant expense for denial of reasonable
use.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated that this had been a long, arduous process that the City
could not have come close to completing with any degree of success had it not been for
the overwhelming involvement and support of the community. He acknowledged and
thanked the community and staff. He stated he would address the other issues that
were discussed bnight. With regard to the E. Cherry property and an overview of past
discussions with Mr. Dortman regarding the property, he stated he believed that a
compromise was reached with the Mixed Use classification of the property. He said that
the Council has not paid attention to look at other altematives to be more crea6ve in the
use of smaller parcels. He emphasized a statement made earlier during public
comment that "our rural character and our agriculture are the heart and soul of this
community" and stated that it has been this way for a long time. He said when this
project was discussed at the previous meeting, percentages were not assigned for land
use and that was done intentionally so that there could be a unique project that still has
an agricult�al feel but yet satisfies all of the parties involved. He said he would actually
like to see it remain in agriculture, but thatwas the reality of compromise.

Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to Land Use Area 7E and recalled one of the property
owners who requested the Council reconsider a lower density. He said he was hoping
that there was a higher turnout of people from other concerned parties who would like to
see the density remain as is. He stated that it was not too late to reduce the density.
He stated that his position on 7E was that he was not comfortable leaving it Medium
Density at the last meeting and he was still not comfortable with that designation. He
said he would like to see a lower density in that particular area and that it be consistent.
He believed there was a lot of validity to the notion that it is a transitional area, it abuts
an ag conservancy, and from what he had heard previously and through testimony
tonight, he was led to believe that the majority of land owners out there do not want
Medium Density, they would rather maintain the lower density. He said he would
support a lower density.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara referred to the Vanderveen property and referred to the Land
Use Map depicting the field of green with a patch of yellow. He said there has been a
lot of discussion about the precedent setting effect of this particular decision and he
concurred with that. He said he recalled this issue coming up along with several
proposals for the development of small ag parcels. He said one of the first significant
votes this Council took when he first joined the Council was to review what had come
forth from the original Long Range Planning Committee, when Council Member Steve
Tolley was on the Council and chaired that effort. He said throughout that process, a
number of things occurred; the surveys, the workshops, and communit�based activity.
He recalled back then that when it came time to give direction as a Council, former
Council Member Tolley said something to the effect that after reviewing the surveys,
chairing the Long Range Planning Committee and being as involved, there is no way
that he was voting to convert prime ag. He said that the Council, with the exception of
Council Member Runels, said essentially the same thing. He said he believed that was
key because he believed that the direction Council gave at that time was one of the
reasons why this particular piece of property was not one of the planning areas that
became part of the review process.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara also wanted to raise the issue of clarifying for the record the
difference between consensus versus a numerical majority. He said the Council has
moved through the more �controversial pieces and there have been many statements
that there has been consensus of the Council. He said consensus to him means a
collective opinion, general agreement or accord. He said on some of the issues, we do
not have consensus, what we have is a simple &2 majority and that is what it comes
down to on this issue. He stated that he did not concur nor does he give his consensus
to the rezoning of the Vanderveen property.
Mayor Pro Tem said the last issue he wanted to raise is similar to the wording
suggested by Council Member Dickens of Ag1. He said he was not pleased with this
wording at the last meeting and his views have not changed. He said he believed if you
look at the way Ag1 now reads, it has been changed from "No net loss of prime
fartnland soils..." to "Avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate loss of prime farmland soils..." He
stated that in his view, minimize can be interpreted a number of different ways. He said
it could be interpreted easily to apply to minimal parcels, perhaps five-acre parcels, and
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
OCTOBER 9,2001
PAGE 13
he did not support that. He said he could accept "Avoid and mitigate loss of prime
farmlands...", but not minimize. He stated as long as that wording stays in place, he
could not stand in favor of Ag1. To summarize, Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara said with the
changes made tonight, he could support the EIR and all other General Plan Elements
with the exception of the wording in Ag1, which if it remains, he could not support the
Agricultural Element in its entirety. He did not support the Land Use Element as long as
it contains a map that has this particular parcel in yellow. He said if it was "all or
nothing"; he could not support the General Plan nor the EIR at this time.
Mayor Lady commented that this had been a long process. He said through the
process we have learned a lot about our community and there have been some
tremendous benefits that have come as a result of this process. He said it should never
be expected that as a community of 16,000 residents, there will be agreement on each
and every item in a General Plan Update because it is a very extensive document. He
stated this was a document that the community should be very proud of; there have
been a tremendous amount of public hearings, public comments, and public
participation. He stated that he was proud of being part of a team that had the
opportunity to participate in creating this document. He said he was hopeful for a five
member Council approval of the document. He thanked staff and members of the
community and stated he felt comfortable with the decisions he had made. In
conclusion, Mayor Lady stated that a�ter four years of hard work and dedication by the
community, staff, and the Council, he was hoping for complete Council approval of the
document. He noted that the City had spent a tremendous amount of financial

Obiective Aq1 and ensuing policies of the
Ayriculture, Conservation and Open Space Element
Obiective A41: Avoid and/or mitigate loss of prime farmland soi/s and
conserve non-prime Agriculture use and natural resources.
Policv Statement Aq1-1: Designate prime farmland soils that are not '
predominantly committed to non Agricultural developmenf as Agriculture (Ag)
and/or Agriculture Preserve (AgP), whether or not in current agricultural
producfive use.
Implementinq PolicvAql-1.1: Prime Farmland Soils shall include all
land, whefher a single parcel or contiguous parcels, that if irrigafed,
qualifes for rating as Class 1 or Class ll in the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service land use capabilify classification whefher or not the
land is actually irrigated, provided fhat irrigafion is feasible. (This definition
is derived from the Local Govemmenf Reorganizafion Acf of 2000 as
reorganized and amended in 2000. Section 56064(a)). Prime farmland
soils shall also include farmland of Statewide importance as idenfified in
the USDA, Natural Resources Conseivation Services, outlined in the Land
Inventory and Monitoring (LIM) Projecf Soil Survey for San Luis Obispo
Counfy, Califomia, Coastal Part, Sepfember 1984.
Implementinq PolicvAq1-1.2: Public facilities are permitted on
agriculfural and natural resource land when required by health, safefy, or
welfare of the public.
Implementinp PolicvAql-1.3: Eifher Agriculfure or Agriculfure
Rreseive zoning is consistent with the Agriculture classification of the plan.
Policv Stafemenf Aq1-2: Designate as Conservation/Open Space
(C/OS) or County Rural Lands all non prime Ag lands with important natural
resource or open space values that the community intends to conserve.
Implemenfinq PolicvApl-2.1: Areas with a C/OS designation shall be
subject fo special measures and/or programs designed fo conserve
natural resources and profecf fhe community from their loss, including
measures or programs fhat may be developed subsequenf to adoption of
this General Plan Update.

Implementin9 PolicvAql-3.1: Encourage �lliamson Acf participation
and acquisition of agricultura/ conseivation easemenfs by agricultural
landowners. An inventory of parcels under �lliamson Act contract and
those with agricultural conservation easements within the City shall be
maintained by the Communify Developmenf Department and ihe status of
those contracfs reported to fhe Planning Commission and City Council.
The City's objective shall be 100% enrollment of either �lliamson Act
enrollment of qualified parcels or agricultural conservation easement
acquisifion. The City's aim shall be to mainfain contiguity of Ag and C/OS
parcels and avoid fragmentation of areas having prime farmland soils or
non-prime Conservation/Open Space designafion.
Implementinp PolicvAq1-3.2: Encourage dedication of conservation
easements over parcels having Consenration/Open Space (C/OS)
designafion. An inventory of conservation easements and similar
restrictions within the City shall be maintained by the Communify
Development Department and reported annually fo the Planning
Commission and Cify Council. The City's objecfive shall be fo maintain
100% of the C/OS designation under interim or permanent open space or
conseivation easements.
Policv Statemenf Aq1-4: Establish and apply a significance criterion
(threshold of significance) for CEQA analysis, as provided by CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.7, fhat considers loss of prime farmland soils as a
significant adverse environmental impact.
Implemenfinq PolicvAal-4.1: Loss of prime farmland soils shall refer
to their unavailability for agricultural use. Loss may occur through nafural
causes or development such as coverage (e.g., paving, construction of
buildings, etc.), or conversion to urban/suburban use (including residential
yards/gardens and recreational areas). Cessation of agricultural use shall
not consfitute loss so long as the parcel remains fallow or is allokved to
revert to a natural undeveloped sfate. Site improvements that are
intended to supporf agricultural operations — such as grading, irrigation or
drainage facilities, unpaved roads, or farm buildings and structures — shall
not consfitufe loss so long as the improvements do not subsfantially
diminish the capability of agriculfural operations on fhe parcel or within the
area and the improvements are direcfly related to agricultural production
on the site.
ImplemenfinpPo/icvApl-4.2: Possible mitigation for loss of areas
having prime farmland soils may include permanent profection of prime
farmland soils at a ratio of 1:1 with regard fo fhe acreage of land removed
from the capability for agricultural use. Permanent profection may invo/ve,
but is not limited to, dedication of a perpefual agriculfure or conservation
� C:\WINDOWS\TEMP417'CACHMENT 7.doc �
easement or ofher efiecfive mechanism to ensure that fhe area chosen as
mitigation shall not be subjecf to loss of ifs prime farmland soils.
Suitability of location shall be determined by the City Council. The aim
shall be fo protect and preserve prime farmland soils primarily within and
contiguous to City boundaries, secondly within the Urban Land Use
Elemenf area, and thirdly within the larger Arroyo Grande Valley and La
Clenega Valley within fhe Area of Environmental Concem. Other potential
mitigafion measures for loss of areas having prime farmland soils include
payment of in-lieu fees or such other mitigation accepfable to fhe Cify
Council.
Implementinq Policv Aq1-4.3: Since prime farmland soils occur nafurally
and are geographically specific, the only means for mitigation to less fhan
significant is preservafion. The City's aim shall be to maintain configuity of
Ag and C/OS parcels and avoid fragmentafion of areas having prime
farmland soils. The City shall avoid developmenf of prime farmland soil
areas by directing growth potential to more suifable urban locafions. Only
after fhe imposition of available mitigation and consideration of
altematives to avoid the proposed acfion, may fhe City Council approve
development on prime farmland soils subjecf fo overriding considerations
as permitted by Califomia Govemmenf Code Section 15093.
Policv Statement Aq1-5: Conserve topsoil by encouraging cooperafion
between property owners, agriculture operators and growers, agencies and �I
organizations that will result in effective soil conse�vation practices.
Implementinq PolicvAql-5.1: Assure thaf City streets, drainage
systems and other infrastrucfure do nof adversely impact agricultural lands
and fhat fhe roads, drainage and utilify systems are properly maintained.
Implementinq PolicvAq1-5.2: Acfively encourage conservafion of soil
resources.
Ap1-5.2.1: Make available fo area farmers, in conjunction with
Natural Resource Conservation Service, volunfary guidelines for
farming operations on erodible soils.
Implementinp PolicvAp1-5.3: Minimize flood damage potential to
farmland.
Aq1-5.3.1: Assure that urban developments incorporate
adequate runoff and drainage defention and flood control.

I
REPORT ON THE
CONSERVATION OF PRIME AGRIGULTURAL RESOURCES
IN THE
CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
I BACKGROUND
On January 14, 2003 the City Council Adopted Ordinanoe 536 whlch implemented a
moratorium on the acceptance of land use applicatbns tha# seek to develop parcels
containing prime farmland soils. This morato�ium has been in effect since February 14,
2003 and will expire on August 13, 2003, unless extended.
2001 General Plan—Aariculture. Conservation and Ooen Sqace Element
Under the 1990 and 2001 General Plans, most of the Class I, II, and adjoining Class 111
soils within the City were designated as "Agricultural." The Open Space and
Conservatlon Element, as well as the Land Use Element of the 1990 General Plan,
oontalned goals and policies to °preserve and protecY viable agricuftural uses within
and adjacent to the Cit�r. This included prevention of continued vonversion of
agricultural lands to non-agricuftural uses, particularly involving prime soils. The
concepts of°transfer of development rights",or credfts (TDR or TDC) and seperation or
°buifer areas" between agricultural and urban uses were introduced as possible
impiementation actions that the City and Counry might utilize.
The 2001 General Plan reinforced these .goais and policies and emphasized the '
importance of agriculture by the adopUon of an optional Agriculturei, ConserveUon and I
Open'Space Element. The ag�iculture portion of the element contains six (6) objectives,
each with several pollcles lntended to preserve and protect prime farmland and
conserve other agricufture, open space, and natural resouroe lands. Loss of prime I
farmland soils was determined to be a significant adverse environmental impact per the '
Califomia Environmental Quality Ad (CEQA), requiring oonsideration of an ',
Environmental lmpad Report (EIR). Possible mWgation for loss of prime familand soils ',
includes, but is not Ifmfted to, oermanent orotedion at a 1:1 ratio of prime apriculWral
soil within and contiguous to the City bounda�ies. Other potential mi�gatbn measures
mentioned include payment of in-lieu fees or other mitigatlon acceptable to the City. The
basic objective, however, is to avoid converslon or "FragmeMation" of areas with prime
farmland soils by directing potential growth to more suitable locations. To emphasize
this strategy, adopted General Plan policy Ag 1-4.3 specifically states:
"Only after the imposition of available mitigation and consideration of
altematives to avoid the proposed actlon (conversion or loss) may the City
Coundi approve development on p�ime farmland soils subject to
overridina considerations as permitted by CEQA section 75093"
Another adopted General Plan policy Ag 3-6, encourages lot mergers and
consotidations to qualify for conservation easements or Williamson Act contracts
3
generally requiring ten (10.) acres of prime farmland to qualify for tax relief. To prevent
excessive building on prime farmland soils, Ag 3-10.4 restricts building sites to no more
than 1 acre per parcel. Ag 5-2 outlines several specific crite�ia for "bufters" between
agriculture land use and non-ag�icultural land use designations, including at least 100
feet from agricultural operations to any new residerrtial structure with a minimum of 20
feet of landscaping screen. Greater distances may be required based on site-spec'rf'ic
circumstances, induding type of farming practi�s, building orientation, wind direction,
or other factors.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate cumulative impacts and altematives to
agricultural conversion and propose additional altemative agriculturel preservation
shategies. The study divides the agricu{tural designated districts into a northeast area
and southeast area, each discussed and mapped in two sectors. In addidon, two
smaller isolated agricultural use properties surrounded by urban developments are
considered poternial conservation or conversion study sub areas, one near East Cherry
and Traffic Way and the other near The Pike and South Elm Street.
Coordinated Aaricultural Su�aort Prostram
The CoordJnated Agriculturel Support Proyram (CASP) report created by "Perspective
. Planning" for the City of Arroyo Grande and the State Coastal Conservancy in 1994
(Updated 1996 and 1997) is a thorough study and excellent reference that serves as a
starting point for this current study. In.addition to agriculture within the City limits, the
CASP study induded unincorporated land to the northeast of the City between Branch
Mili Road and Huasna Road and large tracts of land south of the City that extend into
the unincorporated parts of the Cienega Valley.
The agriculturai Vends and land use data from the CASP project is an invaluable
reference for this aurent study. Table 1 illustrates the more specific nature of this
current study as related to the City of Arcoyo Grande and the CASP study of the Greater
Arroyo Grande Valley.

• The number of parcels desipnated as apricwlWre varies due to differences between the 1991 Zoning
Map and the Land Use Map irom the 2001 Oeneral Plan Update.

The current study also serves to update CASP study data. For instance, the CASP
study states that there were 28 agriculture parcels in the City of Arroyo Grande, while
the current study has ident�ed 61 or 67 depending upon either the Zoning Map of 1991
or the Land Use Map from the 2001 General Plan. In addition, the total number of acres
of agriculture land varies greaUy from the CASP study (282) and the current study (339
or 355). This difference in the numbers of agricuiture parcels and agricuRural acreage is
due to definUons used in each study, not by the addition of parcels to agrkulture land
use.
The CASP study was also used to provide baseline numbers about Arnoyo Grande
agriculture in general. For instance the CASP study sVesses the importance and rarity
of the year-round growing conditions combined with the presence of prime farmland
soils within the AROyo Grande Valley. Surveys of farmers about crop production are
dearly beyond the soope of the current study. However, using the CASP study, it was
possible to roughly estimate the value of ag�iculture crops produced within the City of
Amoyo Grande. This task was accomplished by mulUplying the average crop value per
acre per year ($4,000) given in the CASP study by the number of acres of active
fa�rning operations estimated by this current study (213). The resuft of this formula is an
estimated annual crop value of $852,000 for products grown wfthin the City of Arroyo
Grande.
Municipal Code Section 16.28—Agricultural Zonina
i
iMunicipal Code Section 16.28 defines allowable uses, regulations and development
� standards for agriculturai zones within the City of Arroyo Grande. Section 16.28.020
defines two agricuRural zones within the City of Arroyo Grande — General Agriculture
(AG) and Agricultural Preserve (AP). SecUon 1628.020 (A) states, "The primary
purpose of the AG district is to provide for and protect lands for agricuRural crop
production, grazing; limited sales of agriculturai products, and limited egricultural
support industries and services." Section 16.28.020 (B) states that the primary purpose
of the AP dist�ict is to provide for and protect lands for which WUliamson Ad contracts
have been or should be signed. Both agriculture zones allow for single-famNy detached
residential dwellings at a maximum density of 1.0 dwelling unit per 10.0 gross acres as
well as acxessory housing for fartn workers. There are several 2001 General Plan
policies that require revisions to the Development Code to implement new policy.

il INVENTORY OF AGRICULTURAIL RESOURCES
GIS Analvsis
An analysis of agriculture lands w8hin the City of Arroyo Grande was perfortned using a
Geographic Information system (GIS). A geographic infoRnation system is computerized
mapping soflware that allows for the storage and graphic retrieval of spatial information
about a place.
Map one was created using parcel, land use, and zoning data comp�ed by Applied
Geodetics for the City of Arroyo Grande. This map illustrates the difference between
parcsls designated as Ag�laiture under the 2001 Generel Plan Land Use Element and
the 1991-zoning map. According to the zoning map there are 355 acres of Ag�iculture
land within the City of Arroyo Grande while the new land use map ind�s 329 acres.
The differenoe illustrated in Map one represents a poteMial reduction of 26 acres of
Agriculture zoned lands wfthin the City of Amoyo Grande.. This poterrtial redudion does
not InGude non-agriculturally zoned properties containing ag�icultural uses that were
converted during this time period. '
Maps two and three illustrate land zoned or designated in the Land Use Element as
' Ag�iculture by parcei size. These maps indicate that large agricultural paroels wRhin the
City of Arroyo Grande are to the south of the 101 Freeway and immediately adjacent to
' the northeast edge. of the Village, while the Ag�iculture parcels in the far northeast
; section of the City have been fragmented into smaller lots.
Map four uses soil data from the County of San Luis Obispo in conjunction with the
City's parc:el data to illustrate the locatbn, type, and amount of Class I, II, and III soils
within the City of Arroyo Grande. The GIS analysis indicates that there are
approximately 500 acres of soils within the City of Arroyo Grande that are oonsidered
prime agriculture soils (Class I or.Class II). Geologically, these soils are assodated with
the Arroyo Grande and Corbett Canyon (Tally Ho) Creeks, which in the past have
overflowed their banks and deposfted fertile soils onto the flat lands. It is easy to see
that a substanUal portion of the City of Arroyo Grande, induding most of the Vill�e,was
buiit upon prime agricultural land. There are several 8near bands of Class III soAs within
the City limits. Although not considered "prime' soils, Mro patches of Claas III soils are
present in the lands zoned "Agriculture" and have been, acoording fio one souroe,
producing at seemingly comparable rates as its neighboring Ciass I and II soils.
Map five was generated to evaluate the relationship between Class I and II soils and
parcel size. The pattems presented indicate that there are large parcels (10 acres or
larger)that contain Class I and II soils south of the 101 Freeway and in e limited number
adjacent to northeast edge of the Village. Additionally, the pattems indicate a
fragmentation of Class I and 11 sotis into small parcels throughout the Village and more
recenUy (1960 on) in the historically agrfcultural dominated northeastem and
southeastem sections of the City.
Maps six and seven utilized the geographic information system to isolate and display
Class 1, II, and III soils that are zoned or deslgnated in the Land Use Element as
6
Agricufture. These two maps indicate that there are 253 acres of Class I and II soils
zoned for Agriculture and 235 acres designated as Agricufture in the Land Use Element.
The difference of land in these two maps indicates a potential reduction of 18 acres of
prime agriculturai soils.
Map eight is very simflar to maps two and three in that it shows Agriculture parcels by
size. However, map eight shows that there are only four Agricufture parcels that are
larger than 20 acres.
Map nine indicates the presence of active growing operations on parcels designated or
zoned for Agriculture. This data was generated from the review of high-resolution aerial
photographs. Most faRning operations such as the growing of row crops and green
houses are easily identified, but operatbns such as catde grazing are not and c�ould not
be included. It is also important to realize that the ae�ial photographs provide a
momentary snapshot of fartning that takes place over seasons and years. It is possible
that some flelds may be lying fallow and have not been identified. This map also
illustrates a correlation between small lot size in the northeast Agriculture lands and the
lack of active growing operations. '
When vlewed together, these maps iliustrate the cumulative potential redudio� of prime
i agricultural soils over the history of the City of M�oyo Grande. This started with the
founding of the original commercial center of the Ciry, the Village, on prime apricuNural
land and oontinues today in the form of incremental conversions of land to non-
' agricufture uses. In quantitative terms,the GIS analysis shows the cumulaUve effects of
�' Ume and land use decisions in the fad that the City of Arnoyo Grande at one tlme had
the potentlal use of over 500 acres of prime agricultural la�d (Class I and II soils) but
today it has 235 acres of prime soils designated Ag�icultural.
Maps ten and eleven indicate the zoning and Open Space contract stah�s of land within
the County but adjacent to the City of Arnoyo Grande. These maps indicate that land
zoned as Agric:ulWre contlnues north through the Amoyo Grande Valley and south Into
the Cienega Valley. These map also indicate the prevalenoe of land contracted to open
space or Agriculture use through programs such as the Willfamson Act.

III PUBLIC COMMENT
Review of Public Comment Durina the CASP Studv and General Plan Uodate
CASP study interviews and the survey done for the 2001 General Plan Update indicate
strong community support for agriculture and strong concem among farmers that
protection will be at their expense and to the detriment of their property rights.
A�ricultural Worksho�• May 28 2003
On May 28, 2003, the Community Development Department hosted and moderated an
agric:ultural workshop that served to introduce staff studies and seek participants' views,
concems, and ideas about the future of agriculture on prime soils within the City of
Arroyo Grande. This meeting was noticed to the general public in the Times Press
Recomler and flyers advertising the workshop were sent to alt owners of land zoned as
"Agriculture," to all owners of property that is within 300 feet of land zoned "Agriculture°
and to interested organlzations and individuals. In addition, a press release announcing
the workshop was sent to various news organizations. A copy of the press release, a list
of the organizations noticed and workshop attendees are 1n Appendix B.
The initial presentation at the workshop was delivered by Communiry Development staff
members and served to inform the audience of the provisions of Ordinanoe 536, review
information from the CASP report, and to inVoduce agriculturat preservation programs
that are currenUy in use by other municipalities.
Jeff Garcla and Jenny Lester of the American Farmiand Trust informed Community
Development staff and the audience about the use and effectiveness of conservaUon
easements in the preservation of agricultural land. An example in Madera CouMy was
presented where agricultural easements piaced over multiple prope�ties effected a
°Fannland Security" area at the west edge of the city.
Before, during, and after the formal presentations, the audience members asked
questions and provided input about the preservation of prime soils. Important ideas and
issues discussed included the preservaBon and improvement of the agriculture industry
in general, the marketing of crops to the local area, overall tax implicatbns for
agricultufal easements, lack of local agrlbusiness and water issues. Also discussed by
the participants were the issues of property rights in general, the validity of conservation
easements, and the need for sustainable farming programs. Participants emphasized
that benefits of agriculture are community-wide, but that often the burdens are placed
solely upon farmers and ranchers.

Piannina Commission Meetina June 17 2003
Public comments from the June 17, 2003 Planning Commission meeting ranged from
procedurai c�fticism of the Agricultural study in general to spec(fic comments and
suggestions about the use of agricultural buffers, conservation easements, and
discouragement of the use of clustered developments on prime farm land as a
mitlgatlon tool. Collectively, the public comment session reinforced the realizatlon that
the conservation of agricultural lands is a complicated process, with many variables,
and any decisions made can have negaBve or positive effects in the fabric of the
community. Closely related to this realization was the�noept that the conservation of
prime farmlands goes beyond and is affected by variables outside of the Ctty's
jurisdiction. Examples inGude the natlonal and statewide cwnversion of pMme soils for
urban uses, the projected population growth of the State of Califomia, and CeMral
Coast Region's current shortage of aifordable housing.
Probably the most important suggestions that came from this public comment session
was the request for more opportun�ies for public dlscussion and commeM and any
agricultural oonservation measures that 8re lmplemented require broad community
support to avoid agricultural policy changes with every election cyde.
Plannina Commission Meetina Juiv 1 2003
Public comments from the July 1, 2003 Plan�ing Commission meetlng consisted of
many conoepts induding that the City continue to take a leadership role in the protection
of prime agricuftural lands; the economics of agrlculture including �e dHficulties
assoclated with keeping small parcets of farm land viable and a concem that
preservation of agricultural lands may heip those with a slow growth agenda; the
enoouragement of staff to investigate the possiblllty of agricultural pubiic relations
programs and to look to the effo►ts of other munldpali�es for examples; end the waming
that the Cit�r needs to create agricultural conservation policies that are reasonable or
else they will be undone by subsequent City Councils.
Public Comment Letters (See acnendix C for cocles)
Two members of the public submitted letters to the Community Devetopment
Department stadng their views about agriculture conservation. The Saruwatari Family
stated that churches, schools, and housing developments are not compatlble uses
adjacent to farmiands, buffer zones with deed restridions should be created on lands
adja�nt to farming operations, and that the City of Arroyo Grande should stand behind
its Right to Farm Ordinance.
Mr. Otis Page of Arroyo Grande wrote two letters stating the power of perpetuity
associated with conservation easemerrts. Mr. Page states, "Conservation easement[s]
wipes out any future change in the possible use of that land through changes in culture,
changes in people's needs, or even dynamic natural changes in the land itself." Mr. E
Page suggests that If conservation easements are employed over his strenuous
objecUons, realisUc time pe�iods of 10 to 30 years should be used. i
20
In addition, the Community Development Department received a letter from a Mr. Nick
Alter regarding the June 17, 2003 draft report, suggesting Garification and corrections
and recommending teference to the Gene►al Plan's Economic Element - ED3 policy
statement which states, "Encourage and support the retention and expansion of
Agriculture bus(ness activities." Mr. Alter also suggested that the City develop an
education and outreach program aimed at heightening public awareness of the cost-
benefits of Agriculture conservaGon.

IV GROWTH AND CHANGE
Historical Heritaae
Farming in what is today the City of Arroyo Grande began well over a century ago wlth
the earliest setders clearing the lands of brush and trees. The tum of the Twentieth
Century saw prize winning Vegetables coming from the fertile soils of the Arroyo Grande
Valley. The late teens saw the success of Japanese berry farmers a�d World War II era
effects on agriculture in Amoyo Grande through the intemment of Japanese Americans
who fartned the land. Other historically important agricultural events indude the
changes involved in the shipping of locally grown crops from horse drawn wagons to
trains after the arrival of the railroad at Pismo Beach in 1881 and ftnally by trucks
starting in the 1920's.
Agriculture is viewed as a time-honored and vital part of community identity that
perpetuates the City's sociat and economic significence. However, some view
agriculture in Arroyo Grande as endangered; soon to bec�me a historical reflection of
the City's past. This can affect the wayfartners plan their future. Fartna in ufianized
areas are subjed to an °impermanence syndrome" where farmers perc�i�re oonversion
ls inevitable, vease long-tertn investments and fartn for the short tertn (Institute for Local
Self Govemments, 2002).
While the City has historically demonstrated agricuitural preservation goals through
long-range planning, general plan policies, zon(ng, and a �ight to farm ordinance, a
historical review of aerial photos depicts that there have been several land use
approvals that have contributed to either the direct or cumulative dedine of quality and
quant�ty of Arroyo Grande Ag�lculture. However, recent effoKs, induding the
commission of the CASP study, the addiUon of the optional Agricultural Element (and
the oommunity commitment apparent in surveys conduded for these documerrts), and
voluntary participatlon in Williamson Act contracts, are evidence of a strong commitment
to sustain the City's agricultural heritage.
Economic Benefit
The CASP study estimated that the 2,5U0 agricuitural acres of the Arroyo Grande Valley
yielded an estimated $10 million of produce. As mentloned earlier in this study, it is
estimated that the value of crops grown on the 213 acres of acUve agricutture lands
within the City of Anoyo Grande total over$850,000 annually. The financial lmpsct and
power of this money is increased in the local eoonomy by an economic multlplier effect.
Reportediy, however farmers need to yield $3,000-$5,000/acre in order to oontribute to
this economlc benefit. Smaller fartris struggle to cqmpete with larger agricultural
operations. There are some intangibie or indirect eoonomic benefits of urban farming
induding providing nearby residents with locally grown produce, providing jobs without
commute. and food secxuity. Some urban farms document more food per acre than
larger, more "industrial" farms due to stretegic plantlng (Goleta Valley Urban /�ricultural
newsletter). �
22 �
I
Small LotAariculture
The nonheast agricultural section of the City contains many small parcels (under 5
acres)that feature prime soils that are not currenGy used for active agriculture. This lack
of active farming may be due to the fact.that smaller lot sizes and non-contiguous
ag�icutture parcels make it difflcult for large farm equipment to operate, thereby
reducing a farmers economy of scate and profd margin. Although difficuft, small lot
farming can be successful if operated and ma�lceted wisely. A general rule of small lot
farming is that as the parcel size decreases the more intense the land must be fartned
or crops that bring higher market prices must be grown. In addiGon to this general
technique, smail lot farmers can sell to niche markets by grow(ng speclalty crops or
utilize organic growing methods.�Mother successful techn�ue of small lot fanning is to
sell produds when demand Is high and supply is low. This can be done if small lot
farmers can harvest their crops earlier o� later in the growing season by utilizing
temporary greenhouses, also known as 8eld tunnels. LasUy, owners of small lot
agriculture parcels may be interested in becoming part-time fartners or leasing their land
to part-time farmers. One way to acoommodate part time and small lot farmi�g would be
for the City to lease portlons of small agHculture parcela to create a community garcien
program. A community garden program would serve to increase public awareness of
agrfculture in the City.
Mother important aspect of profitable small lot farming is the ability to sell produce to
retail customers. CurrenUy, the Farmer's Markets that exist on the Cer�tral Coast are
unable to accommodate new seilers and have established waiting lists. Preference or
priority could be assigned to local farmers, induding small lot growers.
Public Relations Camaai�ns
Many communities have programs in placs that help to annually celebrate local
agriculture and the success of the bcal harvest. Exampies of these proprams inGude
our own Strawberry and Harvest Festivals; the Califomia Strawberry Festival heid in
Oxnard, Calffomia, and the Gilroy Gadic Festival. The contlnuation and support of these
programs help to reinforce the tradition of agriculture in the local commu�ity. It has been
suggested that the Ciry of Moyo Grande and its •people can go even Turther by
developing programs that educate the public about the operatbns of agriculture in
general and more specifically about the economic benefits of a healthy local agriculture
industry. The City of Arroyo Grande and its citizens have several important resources to
help in these types of efforts including the Sustainabte Agriculture Program at Cal Poly
and the University of Califomia' s Small Farm Project, which has offices in the City of
San Luis Obispo.
Other educational and public relations efforts indude agri-tourism operations and
roadside signage of crops. Many successful agri-tourism operetions have been started
in surrounding communities and indude private businesses in the Salinas Valley and an
association of wineries in Paso Robles. One example of ag�iculWral public relati�ons is �
the.Washington State University program in which signs identifying crops are given to
farmers to place in their fields in an effort to educate residents and visitors of the '
successful regional crops.
23
Edae Issues
Many issues have been identified in .areas where agricultural operations and housing
meet. It Is important to note that these negative aspects are felt by farmers and
residents alike. Issues ident'rfied by farmers (ndude: trespassing, theft, vandaNsm, Ntter,
legal liability, food safety, pests, restrictions, wo�1c interference, and wateNeroslon.
Conversely, issues identlfied by residents who live adja�nt to agricultural operetbns
indude: pesticides, poilen, dust, smoke, noise, bees, flies, odors, trucks, fights, and
rodents (Great Vallsy Center, p. 10).
Edge issues throughout the Counry of San Luis Obispo and specifically in the Arroyo
Grande/Halcyon areas have generated a handful of newspaper artides. These artides
tell of possible pesticide related medical problems. (Tribune, January 15, 2002, The
Newtimes, May 9, 2002)
Newspaper reports have also illustrated the fact that edge issues may affecx the type of
crops and the methods in which they are produced. Specifically, the Tr�bune and the
Times Press Recorder both reported that The Temple of the People, which owns the 30
acre strawberry field adjacent to the C(ty of Arroyo Grande and currently fartned by
Obayashi Farms, is attempting to Identify farmers who would like to plant different crops
(The Tribune, December 25, 2002, Times Press Recorder, December 27, 2002).
RelaUonshio Between the Housina Element and the A�ricultural Studv
The population in Arroyo Grande has increased from 3,291 in 1960 to 16,523 today,
with fluctuating annual rates from less ttian 296 since the 1980s to a rate exc�eding
12�o in the 1960's. The CNy experienced growth of 10.296 during the pe�iod of 1990 to
2000. The City is currentiy updating the Housing Element of the General Plan to
address residential growth issues. Many goals of the Housing Element update and this
study are related. Both efforts aim to direct infill development and better define and
defend the City's urban bounda�fes to avoid sprawl and preserve open space and
agriculturai lands. The focus of the Housing Element update includes increasing
allowable densi�es in infill areas and addressing regional housing needs despite local
resource, servlce and environmental constraints. Part of the Housing Element update
consists of a housing opportunity sites inventory, which has been oonsidered in this
study for a possible Transfer of Development Credit (TDC) prografi discusaed in
sections V and VI. Both the Housing Element update and this study propose polides to
provide urban agricultural protecdon for rural community character preservation.

V AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION/ PREVENTION OF URBAN CONVERSION3
When Pr000sed Develo�ment Constitutes a Conversion of Prlme Fanniand
A Conversion of prime farmland in urban areas occurs numerous ways, some more
obvious than others. Land rezoned for non-agricultural use or approved subdnrisions
are two apparent conversion processes rapidly occurring throughout Califomia. A third,
less apparent, pracUce Is a recognized dlvision of land without a rezone or subdivision
by an issued certificate of complianoe. Reslderrtial development of antiquated
subdivisions can oxur in the middle of agricufturally zoned areas without public notice
or discretionary review. Lastiy, conversion of farmland also happens incremeritally
when non-agricultural development encroaches, ln tlie vicinity or adjac�ent to prime
farmland operaUons. The conversion 9enera�ly occu�s through a combinatlon of factors
induding ooMlicts over incompatlble uses limfting agricuftural production, c�easation of
farming operations and irrigation, and increased land prlces leading to everrival sales
and use depictlng that of a rural residential district.
Hlstoricalty, the City has allowed convelsions, applying typical conditions of approval
which has led to increased pressure on remaining acreages of farmland within the City
See Map 12). M exampie of thls is the approval of Tract Map 2217, the Walnut View
subdivision project on East Cherry Avenue and Branch Mill Road. The City requested
comments.from other agencies during environmental review. Comments from County's
Department of Agrlculture inGuded the loss of prime agriculturai soil, non,agricultural
land use converston pressure, and suggested mitigaUons, including the provlsbn of a
350 foot buffer. However the approvals did not indude a buffer and (t has been
demonstrated that this acction has increased development pressure on both Branch Mill
Road area and Cherry Avenue/Traffic Way agricuttural parcels that were redesignated
in the 2001 General Pian from Agriculture.
Ri�ht to Farm Provfsions
Section 16.12.170 of the Development Code serves to implement the City's Right to
Farm Provisions. These poticies help to ensure the continuation of agricultural
operations by reduang the opportunity for newly transplanted urban neighbors to file
nuisance complaints against farmers. The policy also serves as a reminder to Uwse
who wish to move to areas adjacent to active farm operatlons of the inoonveniences
frequently associated with modem agriculture.
Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA)
The LESA system was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)and is used by state and local planners,
landholders, developers and govemment offiGals to make land use decisions reparding
to use, protection or potential conversion of farmland. The LESA oonsists of two main
components: a land evaluaUon component used to rate soils based on their suitabilily of
ag�icultural use based on data from the National Cooperative Soils Survey, and the Site �
Assessment which involves non-soil factors related to agricultural use of a site, factors
related to development pressures, and factors related to other public values of a site. !

A LESA rating is developed to determine the suitability for long term agricultural i
protection. A LESA system can provide a defensible consistent method to determine
the conditions under which agricultural land should or should not be converted to
nonagricultural uses. LESA information can also be used to identtfy important farmland
and for environmental analysis. The development of a LESA system may be fadlitated
with assistan�from NRCS and should invoive the establishment of local woric group.
Ernironmental Review
The Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires agencies to consider the
environmental consequences of their actions before approving plans and policies or
committing to a course of actton on a project. Any impacts to ag�icultural land must be
a part of CEQA review M environmeMal impact report(EIR) is the most
comprehensive type of environmental document.A project may not be approved as
submitted if feasible altematives or mitigatlon measures are able to substant�Ny lessen
the significant environmeMal effects of the projed. However, even a proJed with
sign'rficant and unavoidable.impacts can be approved ff the decision makers can find
that it has an oveRlding public benefit. CEQA is not truly a tool to protect agricultural
resources, however the pubUc information that environmental documents provide can
help alert interested parties to threats to urban agrfculture.
Currentiy, the City uses the following criteria for the inRial study to detertnine impacts to
agriculturaF resources:
LAND USE AND PLANNtNG. Would the prcposal:
a)Conflict with general plan designation or zoning?
b) Conflict wfth applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with
jurisdiction over the project?
c)Affect agricultural resources or operations (e.g., impacts to soils or farmlands, or
impacts from incompatible land uses)?
, d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (induding a
low-inc�me or minority community)?
Agricultural Resources-Would the project:
Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Fartnland, or Farmland of Statewide ImpoRance
(FaRnland), as shown on the maps prepared pu►suant to the Fatmiand Mappfng and
Monitoring Program of the Califomia Resourcss Agency, to non-agricultural uae?
Conflict with existlng zoning for agricultural use, or a Wiliiamson Act conlrad?
Involve other changes in the existlng environment which, due to their locetbn or nature,
c�uld result in oonversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Mitisaation Measures
Buffers
Buffers are a land usa technique used to separate agricultural operations from non-
agricultural areas. They can be considered another aspect of i�rastructure needed to
26
I
make a slte suitable for development. Buffers can take the form of spatial setbacks or
as physical structures of human or�atural origin.
1. Physical
Physical bufFers include trees, roads, and naturally occurring features such as
creeks, rivers, or hills. Installed barriers, such as fences and walls are another type
of physical buffer. The Arroyo Grande Creek serves as a very effecGve natural
agricultural buffer. Fences or walls may not be completely effective in miNgatlng all
agriculture/housing conflicts but they do work well at obst►ucting visual extemalities
and reduce crop pilferage. However, fences and walls also bring with them issues
over ownership and upkeep responsibiliUes, grat�itf, aestheUcs, and view sheds
(Great Valley Center, p. 11).
2. Spatial
Spatial buffers are created through ordinances and are essentially linear strips of
land between agriailtural uses and Ftousing. The depths of ag�icwltural bufFers vary
greaUy by municipality (Great Valley Center, 2002). The County of San Luis
Obiapo's buffers range from 400-800 feet for vineyards, 300 to 800 feet for imgated
orchards and 100 to 400 feet for field crops. The buffer distance is usually
detertnined on a case-by-case basis depending upon variables, such as prevailing
wind direction, type of crop, sumounding zoning, and topography. (Ame�fcan
Farmland Tnist, 1997, p. 121). In San Luis Obispo County, one person currenUy
implements this case-by-case system and a primary criterlon is past experience.
The City of Davls requires ag�icultural buffers of 950 feet with public uses being
discouraged in the 100 feet closest to the ag�icx�ltural operation, while the last 50
feet can used as a transitional area that can support uses such as bike traiis and
paths (American Farmland Trust, 1997, p. 121).
Organic fartning can address urban concems over pesticides, but other by-products
of fartning, such as dust and smells would continue. It is importarrt to note that there
have been very few sdeMiflc studies that have looked at the eifediveness of buffer
distances. With this fact in mind, every buffer can be viewed as subjacWe or
generally based upon common sense and agency judgmeM. A major study by two
respected researchers, Alvin D. Sokolow and Sony Varea-Hammond is cumently
undervvay and °seeks to ac:complish two interrelated goals: (1) evalu�te exisHng aty
and county agricultural buffer policies and their implementation, and (2) use these
flndings and other data to establish a research base for developing a gufdebook and
other educatlonal materials on the design and execution of buffers." The completion
of this study will be of great interest to the City of Arroyo Grande and staff will
attempt to acquire a copy as soon as it is available.
Although the efficacy of spaUal and physical buffers may be in quesfion due the fact
that they attempt to solve many dNerse problems such as apread of noise, dust,
smells, and chemicals as well as attempt to control human intrusions and pilferage,
they have a long history of use as a tool to oontrol ag�icuitural runoff into streams
27
and to mitigate wind driven erosion. The Connecticut River Joint Commissions of
New Hampshire and Vermont reports that an agricuftural buffer of willows and other
live woody shrubs and tree stakes a.long the waters edge, native trees and sh►ubs in
the 50-75 foot zone, and a 25 foot buffer of dense-stfff grass will trap 95 percent of
sediment, 75-80 percent of nitrogen, and 80 percent of phosphorus before it enters a
river (Buffers for/�ricufture). This and similar data helps to establish a preoedent of
public benefit from the creation of buffers.
Maintenance is one issue that needs to be addressed regarding buffers. For
example, open land can provide areas for pests to thrive and harm adjacent
agricultural production.
3. Buffers in the City of Arroyo Grande
The 2001 GeneraF Plan (Ag5-2) requires the City to establish criteria for buffers
between agriculture land use designations and non-agriculture land uses. Staff
analyzed the cxeatbn and enforcement of a buffer system of 100', 200' or 300'
around all parcels zoned or designated in the Land Use Element as Ag�icxilture. Due
to the fact that the wind pattems in the agriculturel areas shift from the prevailing
direction, the buffers should e�ctend an equal distance from the outer edges of areas
designated as Agrlculture. The construction of new inhabited buildings is not
permitted wiThin tl�e buffer zone on non-agricuRure properUes. In essence, the buffer
zone defines the minimum residential building setback on adjacent properties. In
certain cases, where there is a substantial existing physical buffer or vegetation of
100 feet in width or rnore on the perimeter or on the AgriculWre side of a parcel, an
addRional spatlal buffer need not exist.
4. Potential number of homes within buffer zones
Using aerial photographs of the City of Arcoyo Grande end a geographic information
system, it was possible to identiy parcsls zoned or designated l�riculture and draw
buffers of varying distances around them. This technique allowed for an axurate
estimation of the number of houses that would fall within bufFer zones ff they were
established. Existing houses within buffer zones would become legally non-
conforming. The results of this analysis are presented in Table 2.
' Table 2
Buffer Size Homes Within BuHer
100 Feet 95
200 Feet 156
300 Feet 247
Areas where new development is possible in the'foreseeable tuture on or adjacent to
�� prime Agricultural lands includes:
28
. The area between Cherry Avenue extended and Myrtle Drive designated NP —
Neighbofiood Plan on the 2001 General Plan Land Use Map.
• Residential parcels north of Huasna Road and east of Stagecoach.
. Three parcels on E. Cherry near Traffic Way designated PD-Mixed Use in the
2001 General Plan.
. The hillside church property adjacent to the ChertylTraffic Way property off
Trinity Lane.
• The Arroyo Grande High School property.
. St. Patrick's Catholic Church property on Fair Oaks.
• Agriculture zoned parcel adjacent to Arroyo Gra�de Creek,`owned by the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
. The property northeast of the residential subdivision on Branch Mili Road near
Coach Road.
• The ALC/Frederick and Williams properties at the southem boarder of the City
limits.
Midgation ordinances and policies
Mitigation ordinances are a recent technique to protect farmland. The Cit�r of Davis and
Brentwood uses mitigation to require that developers permanenUy protect one acre of
farmland for every acre of agricuftural land that is proposed for conversion. The CouMy
of Monterey is currenUy discussing the requfremeM that for every acre of agriculture
land oonverted to urban uses, two acxes would have to be permanenUy preserved.
Generally, devebpers place an agricultural conservation easement on fartnland in
another part of the city or pay an "in-lieu'fee.
In Lieu Fees
As authorized by the Map Act and Cal. Gov't Code sedion 66000, in lieu fees may be
imposed as a condition for allowing a subdivision to oc�cur when it reasonably o(fsets the
! impact of development and furthers the purposes of the General Plan. Mitlgatlon fees
can be required for the protection of one or more acre(s) of farmland of equal or greater
quality for each acre of fartnland that is converted to non-farm uses (American
Farmland Trust, 1997). It should be reoognized that in Arroyo Grande, the price of a
small lot home site is flve times the price of an Agricultural acre: thus an acre converted
to single family residential use can yield its owner 25 times the value of an acre
desfgnated Agricufture. This conversion "windfall" can provide mRigatwn fees that can
reasonably provide funds to purchase equal or greater areas for conservation
easements to help offset areas allowed to convert.
29
�
Transfer of Develoament Credits
Transfer of Development Credits (TDC's) progrems are an attempt to separate
development rights from a parcel and transfer them to a�other unrelated parcel. TDC
programs are .generally used to preserve environmentaliy sensitive areas from
development, while still allowi�g the property owne�s to utilize the development potential
associated with their land. TDC programs wo�ic by first identifying dev�opment rights
'sending" districts, which are in need of preservaUon. The development potentlal in the
sending districts are reduced and property owners are given development credits.based
upon an approved fortnula, such as one single-family house per ten undeveloped acres.
Next, the City identifies areas to act as "receiver" sites where the developm�t credits
can be applied above and beyond the established or approved developrrrent densiry.
Variations of TDC programs either albw for the selling of the devebpment credits to
' othe�s or require that the owner of the devebpment credits must own propeRy in both
the sending and receiving areas.
Purchase of A�ricultural Conservation Easements
The purchase of agricuitural conservation easements, in simple terms, is a purchase of
the development rights of a property by a private individual, a non-profit group, or a
govemment agency. When purchased, the development rights to a property are
separated from the land itself. The property owner still holds possession of the land, but
its use is limited by a binding oontrad. M independent appraiser establishes the value
of the development rights to a properry. Although ag�icultural oonservaUon easements
may be limited to teRns of 10, 20, and 30 years, most preservatbn organiza�ons and
agencies seek permanent easements to acoompiish long-range communily goals.
Many agriculturaily based �mmunities are pursuing easement acquisition because it is
designed to achieve continued active production on agricultural property (the ci�es of
Madera and Half Moon Bay are examples). Individual tailoring of ag�iculture
conservation easements can address other communily wide impact issues such as
flood control in addition to preserving famiing opportunihr witlwut placing u�air burdens
on property owners. Organizations that can assfst tn fadlfta�ng, securing or hoiding
agricultural easemenfs or funding other aspects of agricultural protection induding
grants to facilitate buffers, and preliminary actions like funding appraisels, indude the
Califomia Coastal Conservancy, American Fartnland Trust, and the San Luis Coastal
Resource Conservatlon District. The formation of a local land trust is an important
consideration in any easement program. The City of Livermore and the City of
Brentwood have formed their own land trusts and ad as a third-party beneficiary for
easements. The CASP study's AcHon Plan implementatbn measure 5.3 discussed this
possibility in depth. Recent conversaUons with the staif of the Land Conservancy of
San Luis Obispo indicate a good potential to fortn a local chapter for agriculturel issues
in the Arroyo Grande Valley. This could achieve local oontrol to deal with a wide range
of agricultural issues without the shouldering the entire financial burden and
implementation.
General funding mechanisms for acquiring agricultural easements indude:
30
• Fartnland Protection Program, created by the 1996 Farm Bill, provides matching
grants from the Califomia Department of Conservation Farmland Program of 50
% of final negotiated sales price of conservatlon easements. Funding may also
be available for the temporary purchase of agricuttural lands pending placement
of a conservatio� easement, restoraUon and improvement of land already under
easement, and agriculturel land conservatlon planning and policy projeds.
. Mitigadon fees.
• Mello Roos district — a special district created under the state's Mello-Roos
Community Facilities Act of 1982 to oolled an annual tax. This finanoe
mechanism can be utilized for open space and fartnland acquisftion (Solano ,
County example is $16-$33 per undeveloped acre and $80 per unit after
construction.)The formation of a district to enable this type of tax requires a two-
thirds vote of registered vote�s, which is difficult but may be achievable with
public outreach.
• Special Sales tax approval - such as in Sonoma County where a quarter-cent
sales tax increase to tund thefr land conservatbn district was approved. A local
sales tax increase requires both State enabling legislation and a vote of the
public.
. Assessments levied on real property to finance improvement and maintenance.
Probably not feasible for the City since Prop. 218.
. General bond measure
Agricultural conservation easements can also be used to mi�gate potential agricultural
conversions. Several counties and a couple of dties (Davis and Brentwood) implement
mitigatfon ordinanc�s that require addi�onal agricultural lands to be secured with a
permanent easement to offset loss of agriculture due to oonversion. However, ft should
be noted that State funds are not available for purcfiasing easements required for
mitigation.
Williamson Act
The Califomia Land Conservation Act of 1965—c�mmoniy referred to as the Williamson
Act--enables local govemments to enter into contracts with private landov►mers for the
purpose of restricting specific pa�cels of land to agricultural or related open space use.
In retum, landowners receNe property tax assessments, wh(ch are much IaNer than
normal because they are based upon ferming and open space uses as opposed to fu��
market value. Local govemments rec�Ne an annual subvention of forgone properly tax
revenues from the State via the Open Space Subvention Act of 1971. Over one-half of
the CASP study area (over 1,000 acres) fs currently enrolled in the Williamson Act.
However, due to pa►cel size requirements (minimum 10 acres), only seven parcels are
eligible within the City's limits (not counting the two that are in contracts now).

Reconsider General Plan Classiflcations
As previously noted, there were five parcels involving four property owners, that were
redassified from Agriculture to non-agricultural designations as part of the 2001 General
Plan Update to the 199b General Plan. One of these, the Hayes property, is a hillside
parcel not containing prime soils or used agriculturally. The zoning map of the •
Development Code has not yet been amended for those properties nor have any
specific conversion project applications been accepted for parc:el speciftc rezoning and
development (but one PUD and Tract Map application was suspended by Ordinance
Number 536).
Adopted General Plan Policy Ag 1-4 and the referenced provisions of CEQA Section
16064.7 regarding Thresholds of Significance intend that any conversiona of prime
fartnland soils shail require prepara�on of an Environmental Impact Report to address
this significant adverse environmental impact.
Before an indNidual or parcel specific conversion proposal provides an EIR addressing
impacts and altematives, however, the City may initiate reconsideretion of so�or all of
these reclassifica�ons. (One of the redassificaUon parc�ls involves a non-prime hNlside
residential property, while another has been an institutional non-agricultural use for
more than 30 years.) In any eveM, tt should be unde�stood that adopted General Plan
poUcy would requfre EIR prepara�on, flndings, and overriding consideratlons to rezone
and develop p�ime fartnland soils. It would be more approp�iate to reoonsider a General
Plan redassification if the City is opposed to such rezonfng and conversions.
35
VI "INSIDE THE BOX" ALTERNATIVES
Below are aftematives preseMed for Planning Commission and public discussion.
These altemaUves range from regulatory to voluntary and combinations thereof b effect
agricuftural conservation. Each of the following altemative recommendatlons i�cludes a
correspo�ding policy from the 2001 Gene.ral Plan and/or a rec�mmended
implementation measure from the CASP study.
A Zonina Ordinance Revisions
1. Rezoning of Agriculturaily Zoned I.ands
To implement General Plan Policy Ag 3-14 and 3-15, inGude addiaonal findings specific
to approving rezoning applicaUons in Agriculture dis� in Development Code Section
16.16.040 (Amendments to zoning districts and other provisions), which are derived in
part from the Williamson Act (Govemment Code Section 51297):
� a. That the uneconomic nature of the agricuttural use is prima�ily attributable to
; circumstances beyond the �ntrol of the landowner and the City, and there are
no other reasonable or comparable agriouitural use to which the land may be put,
'; either individually or in combination with other adjacent prime fartnland parcels;
and
b. The proposed change in zone (or revision to this title) is for a parcel, or for a
contiguous set of parcels, that is legally nonconforming as to minimum area in
the Aericufture district; and
c. The proposed change in zone (or revision to this title) will not resuft in, intensiry,
or c�ntribute to discontlguous pattems of urban development; and
d. The proposed change in zone (or revision to this title) will not likely result in the
removal of adjacent lands from ag�icultural use; and
e. The proposed change in zone (or revision to this title) is for an altematnre use
which is consistent with the applicable provisions of the city general plan;and
f. That there is no proximate land, which is both avallable and suitable for the use
to which it is proposed the pdme farmland be put, or, that dev�lopment of the
prime farmland would provide more condguous pattems of �rban development
than development of proximate non-prime farmland.
2. Subdivistons in Ag�iculture Districts
To implement General Plan Policy Ag5-2, revise Development Code Section 16.20.060
(Land Divisions) to indude the foliowing finding necessary for proposals to subdivide
prime farmla�d and/or lands adjoining an Agriculture dist�ict:
36
i
. For a proposed subdivision that indudes, or is adjacent to, prime fam�lend, or is
within an Agricu�ture district; that the design of the tentative. map or proposed
improvements provide an adequate buffer as determined through environmental
review under CEQA to minimize poten�al coMlicts between e9�icukura� and
nonagricultural land uses and to protect the public healtli, safety, and wslfare.
3. Allowed Incompatible Development on Agriculturally Zoned Parcels
To implement General Pla� Policy Ag 3-1 and Ag3-7, revise Devebpment Ccde Section
16.28.030-A No. 61 to indude: Ranch and Fam'� dweliings apputtenaM to e principal
agricultural use as permitted. Single Family detached dwellings on c�or►fom�ln9 ►ots as
pem�itted. Single Famiry detached dwellings on legai non-conformin9 lo� as pertnkted
subjed to a Conditbnal Use Permft pursuant to Sedbn 18.16.050. (Develapment Code
SecUon 16.16.050-D.2 requires the approving body to make the flndhtp that fhe
proposed use would not impair the integrity and cha�r of the disMct in which R is to
be established or located.)
The purpose of thls revision would be to address potentlal residentlal devebpment of
antiquated subdivisbns and discourage additlonal single family dwe�in�s on prime
fartnland that are not in conjundbn with an agrlcultural operation, which is othenNise
provided for in the Rural Residendal and Residential Suburban distiicts.
4. Allowed Uses in Ag�icultural Districts
To implement General Plan Policy /�1-12, Ag3-4, and Ag4-4 revise Devebpment
Code Table 1628.030-A No. C. (Commeroial Uses) to indude the folkrwirq eubled to
Condi�onai Use Permits: greenhouses (wlth specific pertormence c�i�ria)� whobsale
nurseries, guest ranches, and large animal yetednary oflioes; and No. E. (PubBcK�uasi-
Public Uses) indude public fadlities when required by heaRh, safely, or public waNare,
and community gardens as oondftionaUy pem�itted.
37
5. Agricultural Site Develcrpment Standards
a. To implement General Plan Policy Ag3-10, revise Development Code
Table 16.28.040-A to include a Maximum Building Site Area of 1 acre.
b. To implement General Plan Policy Ag3-10, revise Development Code
Section 1628.0406. to include the following language: Accessory buildings
and structures shall be sited to minimize disruption of agriculWral
operatlons, avoid conversions of producWe farmland and take maxirnum
advantage of existing infrastructure.
c. To implement General Plan Policy Ag3-11, revise Development Code
Section16.28.0406 to indude a Maxfmum DensHy of 2 dweNing units for
parcels equal or larger than 20 acres and 1 dwelling per parcel for pa�cels
less than 20 acres.
d. To implement General Plan Policy Ag6-1, revise DevelopmeM Code
Sedion 16.28.040B to indicate a�minimum parcel size of 20 acres. (The
2001 General Plan calls for 40 acre paroel sfzes on property with non-
irrigated, non-cul�vated and/or non-prime soUs, however, there are no
Agricultural zoned properties with Class I or II soil over 40 acres within the
City.)
B Midaation OrcJinance
1. To implement and amend General Plan Policy A1-4, introduce a prirne farmlei'�d
wnversion mitigation oMinance that provides for permanent conservatlon ,esements
on prime farmland at a ratio of at least 2 to 1 (2001 General Plan Updats indicetes 1 to
1)with regaM.to acreage of land converted from the capabNity fo�ayricultunl use within
the City and at least 2 to 1 with regard to acreage of land converted from 1ha c�pability
for ag�icultural use outside the City but within the City's Area of Environmente� Concem•
Appendix F indudes an example ordinanoe. A General Plan Amendme�►t to Po�icY A1-4
wouid be oonsidered concurrent with this DevelopmeM Code Amendment�assure that
the m�igatbn ratfos are consistent
Example Mitigatlon
for Subdivision and Rezoning of AgMcultural Land
Ag zoned parcel of 10 acres with prime fam'dand soil -designated Ap on
the General Plan.
Owner wants to rezone residentlal and subdivide into single-family lots
(4.5 dwelling units/acre).
EIR prepared pursuant to CEQA would determine impact of conversion
and identiy possible aftematives and mitigation measures.
38
_____—,
Mitigation would require 20 acres of prime farmland within city iimits to be
permanently preserved with an agricultural conservation easemeM or 20
acres of prime soil to be permanenUy preserved with a agriculturel
conservation easement outside the City limits within the Area of
Environmental Concem. MitigaUon indudes fees from the owner to cover
the oosts of appraisals and costs assodated with securing the eaaemertts
(approx. s3,000 appraisal, approx. $5,000 easement fee to be used for
monftoring, approx. $3000-$8,000 easement draw-up fee).
OR
An in lieu fee would require the owner give the city a fee that would enab�e
the purchase of a conservation easement of 20 acres of p�ime farmland
with a minimum amount based on a previous purchase within the City�d
fees to cover ail appraisals and fees associated with determinatbn of
easement value. .
If it can be adequabely demonstreted that altemativea and/or mitfgatlon
can be accomplished and the required flndings and oveRiding
conside�ations justified then the could be apppoved.
;
C. Butfers
1. Ordinance for new or re-development
To implement General Plan Policy Ap5-2, introduce a buffer ordinance applicab�e to all
new development or redevelopment that is adJacent to Agricultura� propertY (an
example ordinance is in Append'a E). The proposed minimum buffer is 100 feet,
induding a 20 foot landscaped strip as described in the 2001 Generai Pian. Greater
' butfers may also be required upon the rec�mmendatlon of the Ssn Luis Counfry
' P�gricultural Commissioner. Conversely, the orclinance allows for a partled e�eoepfio
can be demonstrated that an adequate physical biiffer (such as Arroyo Cirande creek)
exists between the agriarl�ral use and �e non-agricwiturel use if approved bY the
County Agricultural Commissioner. Although varied buffer distan�s were�Y=ed. 100
feet appears adequate as a minimum distancs to proted both a9�iCUltural ePe�ti°�s
and the community.
2. Zoning Overlay for Buffers
Establish a zoning overlay implementing a buffer around all Agriculture property as
depicted on the map in E-1.
D Transfer of Develo�ment Credit Ordinance
To implemant General Plan Policy A1-4 and CASP Action Plan Altemative 5.5,
introduce a Transfer of Development Credit Ordinanoe to achfeve ag�icultural
protection, incentive to property owners and a mechanism to direct growth to
39
appropriate areas. Appendix F c�ntains an example ordinance language. It would be
beneflcial if the County would also adopt the orclinance. Additionally, the following
actions should be implemented in conjunction with ordinance adoption (these actions
are more thoroughly discussed in the CASP study):
. Develop a joinf powers agreement or pass-though agreement with the County.
' . Designate appropriate receiving sites in the Housing Element Update study.
I . Continue consultation with the County Assessors office.
. Create a local chapter of the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo induding
policy for organizatbn and managemerrt.
E Generel Plan Amendmertt to revise the land use ma�
If consideratlon is given to the flrst 5'inside the Box' altemetives, in order to meirrtain
consistency, R would be advantages to reconsider the General Plen designatlon of the
four pro�erties involving pdme farmland soils that are currently maed A9�iCxilture (see
map 13 and Table 3).
F Aaricultural Conservation Easement Proaram
To impiement General Plan Policy AG1�AG/C/OS.15-21, ED3, and CA3P Actbn Plan
AltemaWe 5.3, create an Agdcuttural Conservadon Easement Program (ACEP) to
address the predominant parc�is within the City that do not meet minimum c�ia and
are not eligible for Wiiliamson Act cor�tracts. The program should praride for 'linked"
easements to create larger areas for protection and agricultural operations.
Components of the program should indude:
. Apply for funding from the Califomia Coastal Conservancy or the Cabfomia
Conservation Department to set up the ACEP and develop a modN agricultura�
conservation easemerrt, determine funding mechan(sms induding rt�lipetion
funds and special taxas or assessemeMs, and determine if there is a beneflt for
easements limited to 10, 20 or 30 years.
' . Develop an Arroyo Grande chapter of the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo
County or partner with the Resour�ce Conservation Distrid as p� ONision 9 of
the Public Resources Code, induding policies for organization and menagement.
. Develop an education and ouVeach workshoP for local farmers to fndividually
meet with Ame�ican Farmland Trust oonsultants to discuss and calculate the
costs and beneflts of placing ag�icultural oonservation easements on their land.
' Map 13,unlike Meps 1-9, ind�ates 1he most recent bcedon of bou�dery lines of the Dofiran proPeAY
thet is zoned for AprkwNure and exdudea�he Portior►zonad HC D2.11.
40
1. Allow agricultural irrigation wells inside the City to provide a more
economical water supply to smalNot or adjacent conservatlon areas.
2. Assist with the development of strategic City wells to provide for irrigation of
particularly small lot or conservation easement prio�ity areas or p�erties.
3. Consider stortn water retention and/or sanitary sewer redamation and reuse
by storage and distributbn system developmeM to recyde former
wastewater 'effluenY or "runoff as supplemeMal sources for epricunural
irrigation.
4. Consider developing upstream retenUon and recharge basins and reservoirs
to enhance ground and surFace water supply.
B. Compromise or combine preservation and conversion concepts fnbo several
Planned Resfdentlal Cluste�s (PRCs) enabled at edpes or infill loc�fons as a
means of avoiding Ap-la�d fragmentetlon or facilitatlng prime A6-lend
conservatlon and consolidation: '
1. Create small clusters or combined PRC and conservatbn essements
utllizing curt�ent infrastructure and strategic linked oonservation eaeerr�ents
to create buffers and stabflize urbaNagrk:ulWral edges.
2. Allow conversions of non-prime portions of intemal or annex eztemal non-
prime porHons of properties to concentrate limited urben expsnsions as a
"trade ofP for prime-land preservation agreemeMs. For example, HHiside
PRCs might tund conservation easemeMs in the Arroyo Gr�de Valley.
Other co�oept examples include property devebpmeM noAh of Lopez
Drive/Huasna Road, which may assist sVa�egic agricuiture oonse►vatlon
easement acquisition. Hiliside annexation southeast of the CitY maY a�O be
considered. Other TDC areas linked for partlaal preservation or related
conservatbn easements inolude Hollywood and Elisworth, High Sc�iool and
EI Campo areas.
C. Speciaiized housing or cooperative Farm/Agricultural-Residentlal Mbced Use farm
developments:
1. Assisted or non-profit development of farmworker housing and service
compiexes (such as day care), in or near produdbn crop cooperetive
produce sales or processing locatbns. Poasible locations indude:
■ Branch Mill and Coach Road
• Halcyon Road
■ Valley Road/Los Berros
• Lopez and Huasna
D. Negotiated conservation and conversion agreements:
42
. Develop a mechanism in conjunction with the County Assessor to describe tax
relief or other incerrtives for farmers to provlde more acceptable teRns and
condi�ons for voluMary oonservation easements.
G Suanort Local/�ricultural Enterarise
. Allow and encourage the use of permanent and temporary greenhouses in
agricultural zones (this is included in proposed zoning revisions in No. 1).
. Create a program that provides for cooperative produce sales at a common
locatbn.
. Host a small-parcels fartning workshop in oonjunctbn with the Unfversity of
Califomia Small Fartn Center and Cal Poly's Sustainable Ag Program•
. Allow agri-tourism and agricultural related directbnal signage such as farm-stay
or winery location sign provisbns. Work with the Countys Farm Bureau in
exploring ways and means of implementlng an agri-tourism program.
. Develop an education and outreach program aimed at heigMening public
awareness of the cost-benefits of agriculture preservation.
H Environmer�tal Re4iew Thresholds of Sianificanoe usina the LESA svsterr�or a
similar svstem
General Plan AG1-4 requires development of thresholds of significance for CEQA
analysis as provided for by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.7, that oonsid�s bss of
prime farmtand soils as a signHicant adverse environmental impad. CE(]A appendix G
states that a project will normally have a signiflcant impact on the environment If it wiN a)
conflict with adopted environmeMal plans and goals of the commuMty where it is
located. b) oonvert p�ime agricultural land to non-agricultura� use or impair the
ag�larltural producWRy of prirr�agricwltural land.
Point systems are sometimes used as methodology in determining agrkwltural suitaabiifry
and produdNUy. A weighting system can be devebped for use in tl�e init�l studY
process and in detertnining thresholds of signiflcance. The poirrt system would Provide
for a known, clear and oonsfstent basis to identify potentlally signiflcaM impads. If such
impads are ideMNied, site-speciflc evaluatton is considered in an EIR.

APPENDIX A-DEFINTTIONS
Buffer Zone - An area designed to separate potentially incompatible land uses. For
� example, agricultival uses will sometimes be buffered from nearby residential uses to
enable the two to peacefully coexis� � '
CompaUbility - The characteristics of different uses or.activities that allow tham to be
located near each other without creating conAict Some elemeats that affect
• • compatibiGty include: intensity of occupancy as measured by dwelling tmits per acre;
pedestrian or motor vehicle tra�c generated•, volume of. goods haudled; and such .
eavironmental effects as noise,vibration,glare,sir pollution and radiation.
.
Conditions - Under some circumstances, aa agency can require a pmject proponent to
perforra certain acts or meet certain requirements as part of the agency's appmval of the
project
Conservation—The wise or sustainable use of a renewable resource. See preservation.
Conversioa.— The zone change of a propecty &om agriculhue to any other land use
' category in order to allow for the construction of urban infrashucture or buildings.
. Cumulative impact � The overall effect oa.the environment or the funcdoning of a city
from various land use projects that have been imple�ented or are planned.
Development-
Development rights — The ability to develop a pmpeity for speciSc uses. Also
development rights can be considered the spxulative real-estate value of a property if
development occurs.
Economic use of property - "uneconomic character" no other reasonable or
comparable agricultural use to wtuch the laz►d may be put either in&vidua�ly or in
combination with other adjacent prime fazmland parcels.
Eminent Domain - Thc,pmcess by which public ageacies acquire private pmparty for
public use,when the owner of that property is unwilling to sell.
Exaction -An exaction is a specific form of condition on a public agency's approval of a
development proposal. There are typically two kinds of exactions required by public
agencies: 1) dedications and 2) fees. A dedicafion typically involves the provisioa of a
benefit to thc public as mitigation for the impact of a proposed project on public facilides.
An example of one kind of dedicaUOn is a condition requiring the applicant to dcdicate
(and perhaps improve) roadways, provide easanents or public greenbelts. Altemadvely,
the agency may require the owner to pay fees to finance public improvements(sometimes
referred to as "monetary exactions").
�
Fees - Also kaown as monetary exactions,fees require a pmject proponent to pay certain
amounts in order to have their applications processed (the fees reimburse the agency for
the expenses of processing the applibation). Fees also may be assessed�to help mitigate
the impact of a proposed development on the community (for example, school facilities
fees to help expand the schools to assure they have enough capacity for the demand
created by a new housiag development). State law closely ragulates the adopdon, levy,
collection and challenge to development fees imposed by a lxal public agency: It
applies to both fees imposed on a broad class of pYOjects by, legislation of geaeral
applicability and fees imposed on a project-specific basis.
Firiding - A determination or conclusion based on the evid�ce presented to the public
hearing body, such as the planning commission, in aupport of its decision. Findings
ezplain and justify ths agency's decision to the public and to the courts.
• Mitigation lyieasures - In the contact of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act,
measures that modify a project to reduce or eliminato a significant environmental impact.
MoratorIum - Usually a freeze on new development peading the completion snd
adoption of certain planning and zoning ordinance requirements (for example, general
plan, zoning ordinance amendment, sewer line instal�ations or growth management
progams.) Voters have atso appmved moratpria, for example when schools and other
public facilities havc,been overwhelmcd by rapid growth.
Permitted Use — A use by right that is specifically authorized in a particular zonirig
district. Contrast with conditional uses that are authorized only if certain requiremarts
are met and after review and approval by the plazuung commission.
Police Power -The legal basis for planning and land uso ngulation is the "polico power"
of the city to protect the public's health, safety and welfare. The Califomia Constitution
gives cities and counties the power to make and enforce aU�local police, sanitary and
other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with geaeral laws.
PreservatIon — Complete pmtection of a uaique or non-renewable resource. See
conservation.
Rezone - If a landowner pmposes a use that is not allowed in a zone, then a chaage of
zone must be obtained.
Sprawl -- Dispersed, iacsponsible development outside of compact urban aad villsge
ceaters along highways and in nual countryside that deatroys green space, increases
traffic and sir pollution, and negatively impacts the ability to pmvido public serviccs.
Subdiviston - The division of land, lot, tract, or parcel into two or more lots, parcels,
plats, or sites, or nther divisions of lsnd for the pucposa of sate, lease, of�'a, or
development.

OF 100 FEET AROUND AGRICULTURALLY ZONED
PROPERTIES FOR THE PURPOSES OF AGRICULTURAL
BUFFERS, REQUIRING ADEQUATE FINDINGS FOR
SUBDIVIStON OR REZONING OF AGRICULTURAL
LANDS, IMPLEMENTING MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
AND REVISE LAND USE REGULATIONS FOR ALL
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, the City Council of Arroyo Grande adopted the updated General Plan on

agriculture within the community and outlines goals, objectives and policies regarding the
retention of agricultural lands within and adjacent to the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has a responsibility to assure adherence to the General Plan in
meeting the needs and desires of the residents and the community; and

,
_ i I�i
ORDINANCE NO. 550
PAGE 2 of 5 ,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after due study, deliberation and public hearing, the
following circumstances exist:
A. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map and revisions to Title 16 is
consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and programs of the General Plan,
and is desirable in order to implement the provisions of the General Plan based
on Resolution No. 3699 and further finds that:
1. The acreage of prime agricultural land within the City limits is a particularly
important resource, has unique qualities and benefits the communiry through
the provision of productive open space, economic activity and employment
base, wildlife habitat and an important filter to rain runoff, sustaic�ing rural
community character, and the provision of locally grown produce.
2. The acreage of agricultural land within the City limits has rapidly decreased
over the previous three decades and is particulariy threatened due to
encroaching urban development, available infrastructure and land costs that
are substantially higher than average costs of agricultural lands within the
County of San Luis Obispo.
3. The protection of agricuitural acreage within the City's Area of Environmental
Concem is important to preserving a strong urban edge and preventing urban
sprawl.
4. The protection of agricultural lands within the City limits is the City's greatest
priority as described in the 2001 General Plan followed by lands adjacent to
the City limits, and thirdly, other agricultural lands within the City's Area of
Environmental Concem planning area.
5. It is the policy of the City to work cooperatively with San Luis Obispo County
to preserve agricultural land within the City's Area of Environmental Concem
planning area, beyond that deemed necessary for development; it is further
• the policy of the City to protect and conserve agricultural land, especially in
a�eas presently farmed or having Class I or II soils or areas that are presently
or were historically farmed or are potentially capable of being farmed.
6. Some urban uses when contiguous to farmland can affect how an agricultural
use can be operated, which can lead to the conversion of agricultural land to
urban use.
7. By requiring conservation easements as a condition for land being converted
from an agricultural use and by requiring a one hundred foot buffer, the City
I
ORDINANCE NO. 550
PAGE 3 of 5
shall be helping to ensure prime farmland remains in or available for
agricultural use.
B. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map and revisions to Title 16 will not
adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare or result in an illogical land
use pattern.
C. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map and revisions to TiUe 16 is
consistent with the purpose and intent of Title 16.
D. A Program EIR was prepared and certified on October 9, 2001 for the 2001
General Plan update which incorporated an analysis of agricultural buffers within
the City of Arroyo Grande and the proposed amendments to Title 16 are within
the scope of the Program EIR and the potential environmental impacts of the
proposed amendment are determined by this Council to be less than significant.

16.04.070.C. Definitions. (Note fo codifer; these de�nitions are being added
to Section 16.04.070,C.)
-A-
Agricultural conservation easement: The granting of an easement over
agriculturai land for the purpose of restricting its use to agricultural land. The '
interest granted pursuant to an agricultural conservation easement is an interest
in land, which is less than fee simple.
Agricultural land or farmland: Those land areas of the county and/or city
specifically designated or zoned as Agriculture, Agriculture Preserve or
Agricultural General.
Agricultural mitigation land: Agricultural land encumbered by a farmland deed
restriction, a farmland conservation easement or such other farmland
conservation mechanism acceptable to the city.
.F.
Farmland deed restriction: The creation of a deed restriction, covenant or
condition which precludes the use of the agricultural land subject to the restriction
for any nonagricultural purposes, use, operation or activity. The deed restriction
shall provide that the land subject to the restriction wili permanently remain
agricultural land.
-Q-
Qualifying entity:. A nonprofit public benefit 501(c)(3) corporation operating in
San Luis Obispo County for the purpose of conserving and protecting land in its
natural, rural or agricultural condition. The following entity is a qualifying entity:
Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo. Other entities may be approved by the '
city council from time to time. I
�
16.12.170. Right to farm provisions and farmland preservation.
E. Agricultural buffer.
1. In conjunction with General Plan policies outlineii in the Agriculture,
Conservation and Open Space Element, and specifically Objective Ag5,
the city has determined that the use of property for agricultural operations
is a high priority. To minimize potential conflicts between agricultural and
nonagricultural land uses, including the protection of public health, the
reduction of noise and odor, and the reduction of risk to farm operations
from domestic animal predation, crop theft and damage and compiaints
from neighboring urban dwellers, all new development adjacent to any
designated agricultural district shall be required to provide an agricultural
1
buffer. "DevelopmenY' as used in this section, means subdivision of land,
use permits and building permits for new residential units.
2. The buffer area shall be a minimum of one hundred feet, measured from
the edge of the designated agricultural district. Optimally, to achieve a
maximum separation, a buffer wider than one hundred feet is encouraged
and may be required if it is determined through environmental review
under CEQA and/or recommended by the San Luis Obispo County
Agricultural Commissioner. A decreased buffer distance may be allowed
if it can be demonstrated that a physical buffer exists (eg. Arroyo Grande
Creek) that is adequate and approved by the San Luis Obispo County
Agricultural Commissioner.
3. The minimum one hundred foot agricultural buffer area shall be
comprised of two components: a twenty-foot wide agricultural landscaped
transition area contiguous to an eighty-foot wide agricultural buffer
adjacent to the designated agricultural district. The twenty-foot transition
area may include pedestrian access. The combined one hundred foot
agricultural buffer shall not qualify as farmland mitigation as required by
section 16.12.170.F.
4. The following shall be permitted in the one hundred foot agricultural buffer:
native plants, tree or hedge rows, roads, drainage channels, storm
retention ponds, natural areas such as creeks or drainage swales, utility
corridors, storage, and any use, including agricultural or limited
commercial uses, determined by the planning commission to be consistent
with the use of the property as an agricultural buffer. No new residential
use shall be permitted within the buffer area unless it is determined there
would be no other economically viable use of the property. Restoration of
a damaged residence within the buffer area may be pursued in
accordance with Section 16.48.110.
5. The one hundred foot agricultural buffer shall be established by the
developer pursuant to a plan approved by the Community Development
Director and the Parks, Recreation and FacilRies Director. The plan shall
. include provisions for the use of integrated weed and pest management
techniques and soil erosion control. An agreement in the form approved
by the city attomey shall be recorded, which shall include the
requirements of this section.
F. Agricultural land conversion.
1. The city shall require agricultural mitigation by applicants for discretionary
entitlements which will change the use of agricultural land to any non
agricultural use.
2
2. Agricultural mitigation shall be satisfied by:
a. Granting a farmland conservation easement, a farmland deed
restriction or other farmland conservation mechanism to or for the
benefit of the city and/or a qualifying entity approved by the city.
Mitigation shall be required for that portion of the land which no
longer will be designated agricultural land, including any portion of
the land used for park and recreation purposes. At least as many
acres of prime agricultural land shall be protected as was changed
to a non agricultural use within city limits, or up to two times as
many acres of agricuitural land shall be protected outside the city
but within the city's Area of Environmental Concern, as was
, changed to a nonagricultural use, in order#o mitigate the loss of
agricultural land; or
b. In lieu of conserving agricultural land as provided above if the city
council determines that the payment of in-lieu fees provide a
superior opportunity to satisfy the goals,and policies of the General
Plan, agricultural mitigation may be satisfied by the payment of a
fee, established by the city council by resolution or through an
enforceable agreement with the developer, based upon a farmland
replacement factor of up to 2:1 to be used for acquisition of a
farmland conservation easement or farmland deed restriction. The ,
in lieu fee option must be approved by the city council. The fee !
shall be equal to or greater than the value of a previous farmland '
conservation transaction in the city plus the estimated cost of legal,
appraisal and other costs, including staff time, to acquire property
for agricultural mitigation. The in lieu. fee, paid to the city, shall be
used for farmland mitigation purposes, with priority given to lands
with prime agricultural soils located within the city.
3. It is the intent of this program to work in a coordinated fashion with San
Luis Obispo County and State agencies, and, therefore, farmland
conservation easement areas may overlap pa�tially or completely with
habitat easement areas approved by the State Department of Fish and
„ Game. Up to twenty percent of the farmland conservation easement area
may be enhanced for wildlife habitat purposes as per the requirements of
the State Department of Fish and Game and/or San Luis Obispo County
management programs; payment of appropriate maintenance, processing
or other fees may also be required.
4. Comparable soils and water supply.
a. To the greatest extent possible, the agricultural mitigation land shall.
be comparable in soil quality with the agricultural land whose use is
being changed to nonagriculturaf use.
3
b. The agricultural mitigation land shall have an adequate water
supply to. support agricultural use and the water supply on the
agricultural mitigation land shall be protected in the agricultural
conservation easement, the farmland deed restriction or other
document evidencing fhe agricultural mitigation.
5. Eligible lands. The first priority for agricultural mitigation land shall be
farmland located within city limits. The second priority for agricuitural
mitigation shall be farmland located adjacent to city limits, and the third
priority, farmland located within the city's Area of Environmental Concern,
as shown in the 2001 General Plan. The criteria for preferred iocations or
zones for agricultural mitigation land shall be determined by the city
council after receiving input from the planning commission and San Luis
Obispo County Agricultural Commissioner. In making their determination,
the following factors shall be considered:
a. The preferred locations shall be compatible with the 2001 General
Plan and the general plan of San Luis Obispo County.
b. The preferred locations shall include comparable soil types to that
most likely to be lost due to proposed development.
c. Agricultural mitigation land consisting of contiguous parcels shall be
preferred:
d. Land previously protected by a conservation easement of any
nature or kind is not eligible to qualify as agricultural mitigation land.
6. Requirements of instruments; duration.
a. To qualify as an instrumen# encum6ering agricultural mitigation
land, all owners of the agricultural mitigation land shall execute the
instrument.
. b. The instrument shall be in recordable form and contain an
accurate legal description setting forth the description of the
agricultural mitigation land.
c. The instrument sh.all prohibit any activity, which substantially
impairs.or diminishes the agricultural productivity of the land, as
determined by the planning commission.
d. The instrument shall protect the existing water rights and retain
them with the agricultural mitigation land.
4
e. The applicant shall pay an agricultural mitigation fee to pay the
costs of administering, monitoring and enforcing the instrument in
an amount determined by city council.
f. Interests in agricultural mitigation land shall be held in trust by a
qualifying entity and/or the city, in perpetuity. F�ccept as provided in
subsection (g) of this section, the qualifying entity or the city shall
not sell, lease, or convey any interest in agricultural mitigation land
which it shall acquire, except to continue agriculturai uses in
accordance with the encumbering instrument.
g. If judicial proceedings find that the public interests described in
Chapter 16.28 of this title can no longer reasonably be fulfilled as
to an interest acquired, the interest in the agricultural mitigation
land may be extinguished through sale and the proceeds shail be
used to acquire interests in other agricuftural mitigation land in San
Luis Obispo County, as approved by the city and provided in this
chapter.
h. If any qualifying entity owning an interest in agricultural mitigation
land ceases to exist, the duty to hold, administer, monitor and
enforce the interest shall pass to the city or its designee.
i. Each qualifying entity shall monitor lands and easements it
acquires under this chapter and shall review and monitor the
implementation of the management and maintenance plans for
these lands and easement areas.
7. Violation.
Any person or entity who violates any provision of this chapter shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding the maximum prescribed by law. In
addition, any person or entity who violates any provision of this chapter
shall be liable to the transferee of the property for actual damages.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2004-05 THIRD QUARTER BUDGET I,
STATUS REPORT
DATE: MAY 24, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City CounciUAgency Board:
. Approve detailed budget adjustments and recommendations as shown in Schedule B.
. Approve Schedules A through E included in the Third Quarter Budget Status Report.
FUNDING:
The requested actions will impact several fund budgets as outlined in the Third Quarter
Budget Status Report and suppoRing schedules. The General Fund ending balance will be
impacted by the approval of the recommended revenue and appropriation adjustrnents as
follows:
Projected Fund Balance at Mid-Year Report $�,892,534
Increase in Revenues 380,000
Increase in Transfers-Out (15,400)
Approved Expenditure Adjustments (253,000)
Proposed Expenditure Adjustments 168 330
Total Decrease to General Fund Balance 56 730
Adjusted Fund Balance 6/30/2005 S1•8�35,.8�,04
DISCUSSION:
Each year, the City Council adopts a budget, which commits resources to the
accomplishment of its policies. The Financial Services Department routinely prepares
quarterly budget updates for the City Council in order to:
. Conduct a review of all City funds to recommend budgetary changes to address known
budget deficiencies.
. Identify budget changes that materially impact fund balances.
cinr couNCi�
CONSIDERATION OF THIRD QUARTER REPORT
MAY 24, 2005
PAGE 2
• Comment on any significant budget trends that will impact financial planning.
• Provide a link beiween the City budget, the financial records, and the independent
financial audit.
SUMMARY OF KEY THIRD QUARTER POINTS:
. The projected "Budgeted" General Fund Balance for FY 2004-05, after proposed budget
adjustrnents, is approximately a1,836,000. The General Fund Balance is 15% of
appropriations. However, this assumes all budgeted amounts will be expended at year-
end. Staff expects that expenditure savings will increase the General Fund Balance to
meet or nearly meet the 20% goal.
. Revenue and expense comparisons are reported for the General Fund, Sewer Fund, and
Water Fund for the current and prior flscal year. FY 2004-05 General Fund reports an
approximate $510,950 increase in revenues and approximately 5948,000 increase in
expenditures over the prior fiscal year. The receipt of cyclical revenues and the accrual
of revenues eamed in FY 2004-05, but received after July 1, 2005, will substantially
increase General Fund revenues. In addition, not all budgeted capital transfers and
expenditures will be needed by year-end thus resulting in expenditures less than
budgeted.
• Staff is requesting an increase in General Fund appropriations of $168,330. These
increases include an adjustment to reconcile actual Fire strike team revenues received
with expenses incurred, recruiting costs for a new Police Chief, and to cover potential
shortfalls in various departments.
• Additional adjustrnents are being requested for ongoing and completed CIP projects.
The Pressure zone connection and Oro Booster Station upgrede were moved to future
years thereby decreasing the costs in the FY 2004-05 budget by 5577,500. Other
decreases amounted to $171,731 due to CIP corrections and completed projects.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following attematives are provided for City Council consideration:
. Approve the following Schedules A through E, included in the Third Quarter Budget
Status report that summarizes budget adjustments.
A. Unreserved Fund Balance-Control.
B. Recommended Adjustments.
C. Adjustments to Fund Balance.
D. Unreserved Fund Balance-Third Quarter Changes.
E. Two Year Comparison of Third Quarter Revenues & Expenses

Third Quarter Budget Status Report- 2004,/2005 May 24, 2005
Summary of Key Points
• The prajected "Budgeted" General Fund Balance for FY 2004-05, after proposed budget adjustrnents, is approxunately
$1,836,000.
• The FY 2004-05 projected General Fund Balance of$1,836,000 is approxunately 15% of appropriations. While this is short
of the City Council goal of 20% of appropriations it was anticipated due to the State budget crisis.
• Revenue and expense compazisons are reported for the General Fund,Sewer Fund, and Water Fund for the current and
� prior fiscal yeaz. FY 2004-05 General Fund reports an approximate $510,950 increase in revenues and approximately
$948,000 increase in expenditures over the prior fiscal year. The receipt of cyclical revenues and the accrual of revenues
eamed in FY 2004-05,but received after July 1, 2005, will substantially increase General Fund revenues. In addition, not
all budgeted capital transfers and expenditures will be needed by year-end, thus resulting in expenditures less than
budgeted.
• The$510,950 increase in General Fund revenues (shown on schedule E)resulted primarily from increases in property tax
revenue ($120,000), building related permits ($31,000), insurance refunds ($185,000), telecommunication site leases
($39,000),recreation services($17,000),and strike team reimbursements($100,000).
• The approximate$948,000 increase in FY 2004-05 General Fund expenditures aze primarily from increases in salaries and
benefits of($560,000),supplies and services($149,000),and capital outlays($231,000).
• The City Managds Department is requesting$6,500 due to the fact that recruitment services for a new Police Chief were
higher than anticipated.
• The Administrative Services Department requested an additional appropriation of $1,5W in advertising due to an
increase this fiscal year in publishing legal notices for General Plan Amendments, development projects, notices to
contractors,and ordinance summaries.

• The Financial Services Department is requesting additional appropriations of$16,000 related to employee turnover. The
previous Finance Director left the City after being employed for over seven years. The annual leave payout for this
employee was approximately $29,000. The department incurred job recruitrnent costs for the new Finance Director and
Accounts Payable Qerk of $2,800. In addition, the employment of a temporary employee while the Accounts Payable
Qerk was on maternity leave and the increased use of the Audit firm Moss, Levy & Hartzheim has caused the
contractual services account to be over budget by$12,200.
. Participarion by City Fire personnel on Strike Teams resulted in approximately $130,000 of additional revenues.
Because the Department incuned overtime in responding to the fires, the overtime salary account will also be
� increased by$130,000.
• The Pazks Department requests a$7,330 appropriation for reimbursement to the 5 Cities Youth Basketball Board. As per
the agreement any remaining revenue is retumed to the 5 Cities Youth Basketball Board once all expenditures have been
paid. T'his adjustment will reconcile actual revenues received with actual expenditures. In addition, the Parks
Deparlment is requesting an increase of $800 due to an additional fee required from the Califomia State Licensing
Department for the Children in Motion Prograzri s annual licensing cost. Due to e�ccess expenditures related to
unanficipated repairs to miscellaneous departmental equipment, the Department is requesting an increase of$3,100 for
maintenance.
• The Public Works Deparhment requests an increased appropriation of$3,000 for environmental services to process a Fish
and Game pernrit for the James Way/Tally Ho Creek azea.
. Additional adjustments are being requested for ongoing and completed QP projects, including the following: a
reduction of 58,010 in the Construction Fund due m the fact that this fund is no longer receiving additional revenues; a
reduction of$14,721 to reflect actual HBRR revenue received;a reduction of$90,000 in the Brisco Road pavement rehab;a

� Overview
The City's T'hird Quarter Budget Report is prepared for multiple reasons. First, to present the minimum fund balance
available at yeaz�nd, based on City Council authorized expenditures and stafYs projection of esfimated revenues.
Secondly, to compaze revenues and expenditures occurring during the nine months of the fiscal year against budgeted
amounts to determine appropriate adjustments. Tlvrdly, to link the budget, the City financial records, and the
independent financial audit together. Finally, the Third Quarter Report compares revenues earned and expenses made
during three-quarters of the FY 2004-05 against FY 2003-04. The information is provided in the following formats:
I Schedule A:The starting point for all the schedules shown in this report is the adopted Fiscal Yeaz 2004-05 Annual
Budget reported on Schedule A. The audited 2003-04 Fiscal Year ending fund balances combined with the adopted
revenues, transfers, and appropriations provide expected fund balances. These expected fund balances are control
totals that provide a reference point to the Third Quarter projected fund balances shown on Schedule D.
Schedule B: A listing of all approved and proposed budget adjustments occurring after the Mid-Yeaz Report was
, issued. The recommended adjustments include departmental adjustments, reassessments of revenue estimates, ar
ro chan es to be presented to the City Council for consideration.
,
P P� S

appropriations, and ending fund balances. The adjustments and the affect on Fund Balances shown on these
schedules are cumulative, i.e. Fiust Quarter,Mid-Yeaz,and Third Quarter adjustments are included.
Schedule E: This schedule shows a comparison of two years (FY 2003-04 and FY 2004-05) revenues and expenses
for the General Fund, the Sewer Fund, and the Water Fund. The comparison of the two fiscal years provides a
�' gauge with which to measure the current revenues and expenditures. The General Fund and Water Fund

! Comparison of Third Quarter Revenues & Expenses. In addition to the summary above, Schedule E (page 23) presents
�I additional information in the form of actual revenues and expenses, percentage of budget#or the two fiscal years, and
difference between the two years. Comparing the two fiscal years aIlows conclusions to be drawn about future revenues
and expenditures,based on past performance.
T'he table above shows an increase of 5526,400 in FY 2004-05 T'hird Quarter combined revenues and transfers. This
revenue difference is primarily the result of receiving increased property tax, fire strike team reimbursement and
insurance refunds. Expenditures and transfers out also increased over the prior year by $924,600. This increase was due
largely to salary and benefit increases.

i Third Quarter Budget Status Report-2004/2005 May 24, 2005
The FY 2004-05 fund balance of the General Fund will be approximately $1,836,000 by fiscal yeaz end if all budget
appropriations aze spent and all revised revenue projections aze received. However, seventy-five percent (75%) of the
fiscal yeaz has elapsed as of March 318t, but only 68.4°� of operations and equipment appropriations have been used.
� Therefore, the fund balance will likely exceed the above estimate.

`General Fund Revenues •
One adjustrnent is recommended to account for material differences between the budget and the expected revenue at
yeaz-end.
• Fire Strike Team Reimbursement - Participation by City Fire personnel on Strike Teams resulted in
approximately $130,000 of additional revenues. Because the Department incurred overtime in responding
to the fires, the overtime salary account will also be increased by$130,000.
At March 31, 2005, with three-quarters of the fiscal year complete, the General Fund had received approximately
', $6,701,200 in revenues (62% of budget) and $683,400 in transfers (74%). The revenue figures aze slighdy understated
F
. City of Arroyo Grande
Third Quarter Budget Status ReporE-2004/2005 May 24, 2005
because several large paymerits,such as regular property tax (last year $869,000) and Triple Flip property tax ($823,000)
are not received until the final quarter of the fiscal year. Therefore, the City should receive up to an additional$1,692,000
in property tax.during the remaining three months of the Fiscal Year.
The table below compares the FY 2004-05 top eight revenue accounts against the prior fiscal years. This table is
encouraging as the total revenue is approximately $176,744 higher in FY 2004-05. T'he large decreases shown in Sales &
Use Tax.and Motor Vehicle License fees aze due to the Triple Flip Legislation. This is also the reason for the increase in
Property Tax revenue. As per the legislation the City has received additional Froperty tax of$380,361 in lieu of Sales Tax
and$442,683 in lieu of Motor Vehicle License fees. The City's Property Tax revenue would have been$122,000 higher this
quarter,however this amount was paid to the State per the Proposition 1A agreement.

OTHER FUNDS
� Capital Im�rovement (Fund 350)
The procedures of the CIP require that revenues equal expenditures in this fund, which means that this fund dces not
have a fund balance at yeaz-end. In this report, Staff is requesting a total reducrion of $689,231 (shown on Schedule B)
due to the completion of certain projects, projects being moved to future years and corrections to reflect actual revenues
received. A reduction of $3,849 for Infrastructure Inventory and $3,161 to Miscellaneous Stripping and Crosswalks was
made to reflect that the City no longer receives construction tax revenue. In order to adjust actual revenue to the budget a
reduction of$14,721 for the Bridge deck rehab was requested. A decrease of$90,000 to the Brisco Road pavement rehab is
requested in order to use these funds in future projects. The Pressure Zone Connection project ($537,000) and the Oro
' Booster Station upgrade($40,500)were both moved to future years.
Sewer Fund (Fund 612)
The Sewer Fund is projected to have a fund balance of approximately $110,955 at the end of the 2004-05 Fiscal Yeaz
(Schedule D, Page 22). Though this amount does not meet the City Council goal of a Sewer fund balance equal to 60 days
of operating expenses plus $500,000, the Sewer Fund has made great gains since the $7,353 negative fund balance at June

. _ _
City of Arroyo Grande
Third Quarter Budget Status Report- 2004/2005 May 24, 2005
30, 2002. The containment of operating costs have brought the fund out of the negative and on its way toward fiscal
independence.
Water Fund (Fund 640)
The Water Fund has budgeted approxunately $743,000 to finance capital improvement projects through capital transfers
to the Capital Improvement Program Fund. The capital transfers are to finance work on Reservoir I Replacement and
Reservoir #6 Construction. 1
The Water Fund is projected to have a fund balance of approximately $9,841,200 at June 30, 2005, which is a reduction of
$828,500 from the beginning fund balance of $10,669,700. The use of reserves to finance capital projects is direcdy
responsible for the projected reductionin the fund balance. This one time use of reserves to improve infrastructure is an I
acceptable use of monies earned in prior years. However, not all of the capital projects will be completed by the end of
the fiscal yeaz;therefore,it is likely that the Water Fund balance will be greater than budgeted.
