WAY
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande adopted a Resolution
denying the application for Plot Plan Review 05-008 at a hearing on October 4, 2005 in
accordance with the Municipal Code of the City of Arroyo Grande; and
WHEREAS, the applicant filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to deny
the application for Plot Plan Review 05-008 on October 14, 2005; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande has considered this appeal at a
public hearing on March 14, 2006 in accordance with the Municipal Code of the City of
Arroyo Grande; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after due study and deliberation, that the following
circumstances exist:
Mixed-Use Projects
1. The mixed uses are consistent with the general plan and are compatible
with their surroundings, with neighboring uses, and with each other.
Mixed-use is aI/owed in the Village Core (VC) as described in the Land
Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed residential use is
compatible with the surrounding office/commercial uses - neither use is
anticipated to have a negative impact on the other; in fact, their peak
hours of use tend to compliment each other, with the office/commercial
portion utilized primarily during weekdays and the residential portion
utilized primarily during nights and weekends.
2. The design protects the public health, safety, and welfare.
The design will comply with al/ uac requirements for separation of
occupancy, thereby protecting the public health, safety and welfare.
3. The mixed uses provide greater public benefits than single-use
development of the site. This finding must enumerate those benefits, such
as proximity of workplaces and housing, automobile trip reduction,
provision of affordable housing, or other benefits consistent with the
purposes of this section.
The site is currently developed with only office/commercial uses, adding a

residential component would provide a greater public benefit than the
existing uses by adding rental units to the City's housing stock, which the
Housing Element seeks to encourage. Additionally, the residential use
would be in close proximity to numerous services in both the Vi/lage and
surrounding areas, which may reduce the use of automobiles by the
residents.
Plot Plan Review
1. The proposed project is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies and
programs of the Arroyo Grande general plan;
The proposed project site is located in the Vi/lage Mixed Use (VMU) zoning
district and designated as Vi/lage Core in the Land Use Element of the
General Plan. Several policies contained within the General Plan promote
mixed use, such as LU6-4 (Vi/lage Core), which states, "...upstairs
apartments are encouraged in conjunction with ground-floor commercial
uses."
2. The proposed project conforms to applicable performance standards and
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare;
While the development was not designed to include residential uses, it does
include adequate open space and parking (with allowed reduction), and the
proposed units wi/l not be adversely affected by existing lighting or ambient
noise levels beyond what other residential developments are exposed to.
3. The physical location or placement of the use on the site is compatible with
the surrounding neighborhood.
The physical location of the use is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood and wi/l have access to adequate amenities and public
services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande hereby upholds the appeal and approves Plot Plan Review 05-008, with the
above findings and subject to the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A", attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference.
