CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Public Hearing wiil be held by the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande on the following project: CASE N0. James Way Annexation (Village Glen) General Plan Amendment 97-004 Development Code Amendment 97-009 Certification of Environmental Impact Report APPLICANT: Village Glen Homes LLC (Originally Gary L. Young & Associates) LOCATION: North and east of James Way, adjacent to the northern City limit in unincorporated County lands. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Environmental Impact Report per CEQA Guidelines REPRESENTATIVE: Engineering Development Associates PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Project involves the proposed annexation of an 86 acre area, designating this area as Rural Residential in the General Plan, and Pre-Zoning the area as Rural Residential (RR). The Applicant is proposing the future subdivision of 64 acres of the area into 59 residential lots ranging in size from 14,214 square feet to 53,702 square feet, and one lot of 33.5 acres with an existing residence. Five additional parcels totaling approximately 22 acres, are also included in the annexation area, but are not part of the proposed Tentative Tract 2265. The project is in the unincorporated County area located north and east of James Way adjacent to the northern City limits, In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Commission has recommended certification of the Environmental Impact Report on the above project. Any person affected or concerned by this application may submit written comments to the Administrative Services Department before the City Council hearing, or appear and be heard in support of or opposition to the project and the environmental impacts at the time of hearing. Any person interested in the proposals can contact the Administrative Services Department at 214 E. Branch Street, Arroyo Grande, California, during normal business hours (8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.). IF YOU CHALLENGE AN ITEM IN COURT, YOU MAY BE LIMITED TO RAISING ONLY THOSE ISSUES YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE RAISED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE, OR IN WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE DELIVERED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT, OR PRIOR TO, THE PUBLIC HEARING. FAILURE OF ANY PERSON TO RECEIVE THE NOTICE SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE GROUNDS FOR ANY COURT TO INVALIDATE THE ACTION OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY FOR WHICH THE NOTICE WAS GIVEN. Date and Time of Hearing: Tuesday, June 8, 1999 at 7:30 P.M. Place of Hearing: Arroyo Grande City Council Chambers 215 E. Branch Street Arroyo Grande, California 93420 Kelly e mor , Administrative Services Director/ Deputy City Clerk . - ~~.~d- c~ l8 I~ q ~ Dear Mayor Lady: The purpose of this letter is to express our concerns regarding the James Way Annexation . We are concerned with a number of issues regarding this project. The traffic element of the EIR does not justify the increased traffic level due to development. Short Term impacts can not be justified by Long Range interchange options being evaluated by the city in that , there is not a definitive time line for these future projects to occur. Therefore it would be incorrect to assume that these impacts would indeed be short term in nature. In addition the significant traffic impacts identified by the EIR are in contradiction to 8.0 of the land use element of the general plan Which reads in part "Limit the intensity of land use and area population to that which can be supported by the area's resource base,as well as circulation and infrastructure systems," And the EIR is in contradiction to Implementation action 8.1B which reads Ensure that approval of development proposals will not increase the traffic on a city street or roads in unincorporated areas above the roadways existin~ capacitv or level of service C at the ueak hour. We can see no overriding considerations that would overcome the significant inpacts as outlined. we request that the city council not certify the EIR at this time. we request that the city not approve general plan amendment 97-004. Additionally we would like to express our concerns generally on the issue of our impacted schools ,and future development. we currently have a child attending ocean view school which at current levels is already overpopulated. The question arises where . will the children attend school that will live in cunent developments in the pipe line let alone new development. This issue is not tied to just the village glen tract, but all developement that has been previously approved by council and projects that will be approved in the future. It is time for the school district and city council to deal with this issue head on. sincerely Tim & Sandy Brown 125 Allen St. Anoyo Grande Ca 93420 i ~ , . ~ . ~ ' . . . ~ . ~ . „ - - June 8, 1999 Sandy Davis and Boazd Members Lucia Mar Unified School District 604 Orchard Arroyo Grande, CA. 93420 City of Arroyo Crrande, City Councilmen and City Manager 214 East Branch Arroyo Grande, CA. 93421 Gary Young 2815 Mesa Alta Lane Arroyo Grande, CA. 93420 Dear Sandy, I appreciate the meetings we have ha.d over the past months concerning the school districts interest in my home and property as a possible new elementary school site.

FUNDING: A Fiscal and Public Services Analysis for the project was performed by Crawford, Multari & Clark Associates. Tlie report, attached as Appendix E to the Final EIR, is dated October 1, 1998. The report concluded that annexation as proposed would provide modest fiscal benefits to the City. The report noted that if development were to be constructed under County jurisdiction, the City could expect to incur service costs in excess of revenues, while the City would experience positive income if development were pursued following annexation. The report estimated a positive fiscal impact of S 140.00 per residence per year if annexation occurred, and a loss of 5179.00 per residence per year if the development occurred under County jurisdiction. Staff Repoit: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The project involves the proposed annexation of an 86.3-acre area located north of James Way in the vicinity of Mesquite Lane. The applicant requests, as part of the project, that the City (1) certify the environmental impact report prepared for the project, (2) approve a General Plan amendment to amend the Land Use Plan Map to designate the parcel Rural Residential, and (3) approve an amendment to the Development Code to pre-zone the area Rural Residential. If the City Council takes the requested actions, the applicant could apply to the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for amendment of the City of Arroyo Grande's sphere of service and annexation of the parcel to the City of Arroyo Grande. If these requests were approved by LAFCO, a subsequent protest hearing would be held by the City pursuant to the Knox-Cortese Act. Depending on the outcome of the hearing, the City Council could take final action to record the annexation. This project was considered by the City Council on April 27, 1999. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council directed staff to review issues raised by the Council, andi'return with a report at a subsequent Council meeting. Because the Planning Commission has not re-heard the matter, its recommendations remain unchanged from the April 27, 1999 staff report. The report below discusses the concerns raised at the April 27, 1999 meeting, and provides the staff response. Environmentally Superior Alternative and Deve%per's Statement: The project analyzed in the EIR included the proposed change in the General Plan and Development Code before the Council at this time, as well as an application for a tentative tract map and planned unit development designation for the proposed residential development. The proposed tract map (Tract 2265) as evaluated in the Final EIR consisted of 63 single- family residences, plus one open space lot of approximately 33 acres. As required by CEQA, the Final EIR identified the environmentally superior alternative. In that regard, the Final EIR stated: The No Project alternative would not be the environmentally superior project because under the current County zoning about 35 to 70 lots could be developed. Impacts would be less on traffic, but potentially greater on landform, erosion and native trees. However, in the short term, until a development proposal is put forth under the existing zoning, the No Project alternative would avoid all impacts. Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 3 The environmentally superior project would be a reduced scale project of about 50 residences. While this alternative does not completely avoid all impacts, each impact is incrementally reduced roughly proportionate to the decrease in density over the proposed project, and visual impacts are avoided. The above discussion addressed the Tract 2265 parcel configuration. Subsequent to the April 27, 1999 City Council hearing, the applicant submitted a Developer's Statement that commits the applicant to construction of Tract 2265 consistent with the environmentally superior alternative identified in the Final EIR (Attachment D1. One of the concerns raised during City Council and Planning Commission consideration of the project was whether the Final EIR evaluated the impacts of potential development of the 1 1-acre site on the southwestern portion of the proposed annexation area (now occupied by one single-family residence) and the 1 1- acre area on the northeastern portion of the proposed annexation area (now occupied by five single-family residences). The Final EIR identified the project as an annexation, and included the annexation area in the discussion throughout the document. For example, the General Plan policy consistency analysis, beginning on page III-5, analyzed the "proposed annexation and rezoning," (page III-8). In some cases, the policy analysis identified proposed Tract 2265 when the issue focused on that portion of the annexation (page III-7, Section 6.6). In some cases, the Final EIR analysis focused on proposed Tract 2265. See, for example, the traffic discussion beginning on page IV-D1, and the groundwater resources discussion, page IV-E1. The applicant has proposed a limit on development in Tract 2265 to 48 residential units with one open space lot. The total number of units that could be developed in the annexation area would exceed by one the number of residential units projected for Tract 2265 in the Final EIR. The following tables illustrate this situation: Annexation area at Rural Residential density (one unit per caross acre): Parcel Existing units Units under RR Net increase SE 11 acres 1 11 1-0 Tract 2265 1 64 63 NW 11 acres 5 11 6 TOTAL 7 86 79 Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 ~ Page 4 Annexation area at Rural Residential densitv (one unit per gross acrel with Tract 2265 limit to 48 lots + 1 oqen space lot: Parcel Existing units Possible units Net increase W 11 acres 1 11 10 Tract 2265 1 49 48 E 1 1 acres 5 1 1 6 TOTAL 7 71 64 * * Per Developer's Statement The EIR referred to a potential zoning density for the entire annexation area of 86 residential units. (Final EIR page I-8), and also analyzed impacts for 63 single-family homes. (e.g., Final EIR, page IV-D3). Limitation of the number of residential units in Tract 2265 to 48 lots plus one open space lot responds to concerns regarding impacts of potential development of the adjacent 1 1-acre sites. Groundwater resources: The General Plan includes the following implementation actions: Policy 8.1 of the General Plan, Land Use Element: Permit new developments only where and when adequate water services can be provided, and when the provision of adequafe water service can be assured by providing system-wide water improvemenfs in advance of needs. Policy 10.1 a of the General Plan, Land Use Element: The proposed annexation will not impact the amount of water resources available elsewhere in fhe City. The City does not have an excess of water supplies that can be used for expanded service areas such as annexations. Therefore, the City has required that annexations offset their water demand with an equal or greater water supply. The well proposed by the applicant to meet this requirement was the subject of the following questions raised at the April 27, 1999 City Council hearing: 1. What guarantee does the City have that the water supply will be provided? 2. How does the timing of the well testing relate to the annexation and development process? 3. What will happen if the water does not prove out? 4. Can the increase cost of the treated water be charged to the service area? 5. Was the water study based on the entire annexation area, or only Tract 2265? Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 5 Currently, the water supply that can be achieved from the proposed well supply is based on estimates by a qualified Hydrologist. The EIR recommends a testing program to verify that the well provides a supply offsetting the project demand. The testing program is summarized as follows: Initial testina to be performed prior to any grading permit or final tract map: Verify the maximum well flow rate: Per mitigation E1, perform a flow test, a step draw-down test, and a well recovery test to verify the well flow capacity. Verify the net flow considering interference with other City wells: Per mitigation E1, perform a test to verify the draw-down effect on the Los Robles Del Mar and the Oak Park well. This test is a 30-day test and will be used to determine whether the new well should be pumped at a lower rate to avoid interference, and what the resulting effective net water supply is. Verify water quality and any needed treatment: Per mitigation E3, test for water quality. The applicant is to provide treatment as required, to be performed after the flow and drawdown tests listed above. Follow up testing to be performed after project approval: Monitor area rq oundwater levels after project implementation: Per mitigation E1 and E2, perform regular city monitoring of the area groundwater levels. Reevaluate biannually for 2 years.to confirm the above results. To be performed after project implementation. This monitoring does not effect the project approval. The initial testing mitigation measures require that the well capacity be proved prior to any grading construction or subdivision of the property. If the property were annexed, and the well capacity were found to be less than predicted, then the applicant would not be able to build out the project as planned without finding another offsetting water supply. Staff recommends that the well interference test be expanded to also include monitoring of existing private wells in the area. The hydrology study indicates that the proposed Deer Trail well is not expected to interfere with the existing private wells in the shallow aquifer (which is reported to be a separate aquifer). Adding the private wells to the interference testing would mean that the pumping rate of the proposed well would be limited to a level at which interference did not occur. The attached Resolution presented to Council includes language to add the private wells to the interference testing program. The follow up testing is a monitoring program that will be performed by the City. It will not effect the project approval (the testing does not occur until after the project is built). The City routinely monitors groundwater levels for all of its wells. This requirement will add to the effort a review of groundwater levels in the nearby existing wells. The City Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 6 will utilize this information as a longer term effort to verify that the aquifers remain healthy. It is expected that the proposed well will require treatment similar to the existing Oak Park well. Staff has reviewed the operating cost of the Oak Park well as compared to other City wells. Other city wells have lower operating costs due to lessor treatment requirements, and also because they are higher producers of water and there is an economy of scale. Staff estimates that operating costs for the Oak Park well are $250 per acre foot of water produced, as compared to $80 per foot for other City wells. The EIR assumes each residence uses 0.79 acre feet per year (afy). Therefore, if the increased cost of $170 per acre foot were charged to the homeowners, it would amount to $134 per year per residence. The City could seek to obtain a reimbursement for this cost by forming a special assessment district as a condition of approval of the Tract Map. The water study in the EIR is based on 64 developed lots, and does not specify whether these lots are in Tract 2265 or in the 11-acre parcel. The end result is that development within the annexation area will be limited by the results of the well testing, regardless of the location of the development within the annexation area. The resolution certifying the EIR has been amended to include testing existing private wells for well interference. Pre-zoning and alternatives: The applicant has requested a pre-zoning of the parcel to Rural Residential, and has applied for a Planned Unit Development to permit clustering of the residences. The tentative tract map originally prepared by the applicant included 63 clustered residential lots and one open space lot on 64 acres, with the remaining acreage consisting of one 11-acre parcel and five separate parcels totaling 11 acres. There was substantial discussion at the City Council hearing on April 27, 1999 regarding other possible zoning designations, and some interest was expressed in developing other potential pre-zoning scenarios. Alternatives for pre-zoning the project parcels have not been developed by the applicant nor proposed by Staff. The tentative tract map approval process provides the City with adequate discretion to condition the project, and to achieve the benefits of particular land use strategies that may be attractive to the City. Traffic: The City Council expressed reservations regarding the traffic analysis in the Final EIR. The City Council was concerned regarding the impact of project traffic on Rodeo Drive and the Brisco Road/U.S. Highway 101 interchange. Rodeo Drive/Grace Lane extension: Discussions of traffic impacts on Rodeo Drive have focused on the volume of traffic, capacity of the street, and the possibility of future extension of Grace Lane. When evaluating the issue as part of the environmental review, a threshold of significance is used as a standard. In this case, the Final EIR compared the traffic volume to the capacity of the roadway. The Final Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 7 EIR indicated that Rodeo Drive has a capacity of 7,500 ADT, that existing traffic volume on Rodeo Drive is approximately 900 ADT, and that the project would add approximately 300 ADT to Rodeo Drive and/or Grace Lane, if it were constructed. Because the trips forecasted for Rodeo Drive and Grace Lane are within the design standards of the roadways, the environmental review concluded that no significant impacts would result from the project. At the same time, however, the Final EIR acknowledged, at page IV-D7, that complaints regarding traffic on a residential street are not likely to occur at traffic levels below 500 ADT, and are likely to increase in frequency at traffic levels in excess of 1,500 ADT. The Final EIR concluded that the project would not have a potentially significant impact on Rodeo Drive for purposes of environmental review. The EIR also acknowledged, however, the legitimate concerns of residents with regard to the level of traffic now experienced, and to be expected on Rodeo Drive and/or Grace Lane if the project is approved. The City Council may take this into account in various contexts as part of project review. In the case of the Final EIR, staff believes the discussion is in accord with the California Environmental Quality Act. Brisco Road/U.S. Hicahwav 101 interchanae: The City Council expressed concern with regard to the analysis of baseline traffic conditions. The Final EIR provided: The project added traffic to Baseline conditions will increase the volume-to- capacity ratio at the Brisco/U.S. 101 northbound ramps/West Branch intersection 0.01 at LOS D during the PM peak hour. This is potentially significant. However as defined by the City of Arroyo Grande standards, short term project impacts are permitted when an improvement project is planned. With any of the three long range interchange improvements options presently being evaluated by the City, the resultant intersection level of service would be LOS C or better. As such, the addition of project traffic would not result in any long term significant impacts. (Page IV-D7) The threshold of significance identified in the EIR has its basis in the City's General Plan. The Land Use Element contains the following references: Objective 8.0: Limit the intensity of land use and area population to that which can be supported by the area's resource base, as well as circulation and infrastructure systems. Policy Statements and Implementation Actions: 8.1 Limit the number of dwelling units within the City to that which is consistent with the long-term availability of resources needed to support area population and that which public services and facilities can adequately support. Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 8 Implementation Actions: b. Ensure that approval of development proposals will not increase the traffic on a Citv street or roads in unincoraorated areas (such as State Hiphwav 227) above the roadwav's existing caqacitv or level of Service C at the oeak hour... (emphasis supplied) g. Monitor the impact and intensity of land uses on area circulation to ensure that the circulation system is not overburdened. 8. 2 Ensure that all extensions of services and utilities to facilitate land use changes are accomplished in a manner consistent with the provisions and intent of the Arroyo Grande General Plan. f. Review development projects for their impacts on public services and facilities including, but not necessarily limited to, roadways, water, sewer, fire, police, parks, school facilities, and libraries. If a develo~ment qroject will cause the level of public service or facilitv provision to fall below the standards maintained bv the Arrovo Grande and/or the standards of aqqlicable service agencies, reauire that a~propriate on- and off-site improvements be provided either throucah conditions of approval, development fees, or establishment of assessment districts. If such improvements cannot be provided, decline approval of the proiect. (emphasis supplied) The City Council expressed concern not only with the threshold applied in the environmental documents, but also with the conclusion reached regarding future improvement of the Brisco/101 interchange. Planning for interchange improvements at the Brisco Road/101 interchange is under way, and was recently reported to the Planning Commission. The memorandum submitted to the Planning Commission by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer is attached as Attachment C. The essence of the standard applied is that even though the traffic analysis may show that an intersection would operate at a LOS D at some point in the future, such a condition could be accepted for a limited period of time, as long as there are plans to improve the intersection and increase the LOS to at least a LOS C. If, as is the case with this project, an impact is identified that either decreases the LOS to a level D, or contributes to a LOS D, the impact is potentially significant. The City then proceeds to evaluate whether improvements have been planned that would be sufficient to create the exception to the threshold. That is, are the improvements p/anned for the intersection sufficiently definite so that the City can depend on such events occurring in the future? Staff Report: James Way Annexation ?une 8, 1999 Page 9 This determination is a Qolicv decision made bv the Citv Council. If the City Council determines the improvements are definite enough to consider, the impact would be reduced to a less than significant level. If not, an unavoidable significant impact would be identified. If the City Council concludes that there is an unavoidable significant environmental impact for traffic, staff should be directed to revise the discussion in the Final EIR, re- circulate the document for public review, and return for further consideration by the City Council. Staff estimates that this process would require approximately three months. Reconsideration by the City Council would probably occur in early September 1999. If the City Council accepts the discussion in the traffic section as adequate, it may certify the EIR, assuming other aspects of the Final EIR satisfy CEQA requirements. Statement of Overriding Considerations: If the City Council directs staff to revise the findings and discussion regarding traffic impacts as described above, re- circulation of the EIR would follow. Once the EIR was re-circulated, the City Council could again consider certification of the EIR, and approval of the General Plan and Development Code amendments. In such a case, the City Council would be required to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. The purpose of a Statement of Overriding Considerations is to confirm the policy decision of a City Council in approving a project for which an unavoidable significant environmental impact has been identified. The CEQA Guidelines provide that the legislative body may adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations only if it makes any of the following findings for each unavoidable significant impact: (1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. (2) Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR. (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15091) Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 10 CEQA requires that the aforementioned findings shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record. Printz Road access: One of the issues raised at the April 27, 1999 City Council meeting was the possibility of providing an easement through the northwest corner of the site for the purpose of eventual access to Printz Road. As noted previously in this staff report, the applicant has indicated an intention to apply for approval of a tentative tract map as part of the project. If an easement were to be provided, it would be included, and approved, through the map approval process. The tentative tract map first prepared by the applicant contained a 60 foot offer of dedication for a future roadway extension between the lots then designated as 42 and 43. This could have been used to extend the roadway to Printz Road. The project analyzed in the Final EIR included the proposed roadway extension. The applicant has held numerous discussions with members of the public and staff, and has attended several public hearings regarding the project. The applicant has expressed his intention to delete the offer of dedication from the project plans, based on the number of comments received that were critical of the roadway extension concept. The tentative tract map is not being considered for approval at this point. If the City wishes to pursue the idea of extending the roadway to Printz Road through such a dedication, it could revisit the issue if the annexation is approved and occurs. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: A Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for this project. The Final EIR is attached with this report. CONCLUSION: Approval of the annexation and pre-zoning as requested would represent a logical expansion of the City limits, consistent with the 1983 LAFCO Sphere of Influence Study and the City's General Plan. The EIR concluded that if proposed Tentative Tract Map 2265 proceeds under City jurisdiction the net fiscal impact would be a positive S 140 per dwelling per year. Conversely, the same project built under County jurisdiction would cost the City S 179 per dwelling per year, since the City would incur costs for services, but would not receive the income stream that would be generated from development within the City. Staff Report: James Way Annexation June 8, 1999 Page 11 Alternatives: The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration: 1. Confirm the receipt of the Developer's Statement Accepting the Environmentally Superior Alternative, find that the Final EIR is in compliance with CEQA, certify the EIR based on the acceptance by the applicant of the environmentally superior alternative, approve the General Plan Amendment, and the initiation of action to amend the Development Code; 2. Find that the Final EIR is in compliance with CEQA, certify the EIR, approve the General Plan Amendment, and the initiation of action to amend the Development Code; 3. Find that the EIR is not in compliance with CEQA, and direct staff to revise portions of the EIR, re-circulate, and return to the City Council for consideration of the revised EIR and, if appropriate, a Statement of Overriding Considerations; 4. Find that the EIR is not in compliance with CEQA, and take no action on the General Plan amendment and Development Code amendment applications; 5. Find that the EIR is in compliance with CEQA, certify the Final EIR, and deny the General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment applications. If the Council selects alternative 3, 4, or 5, staff will return with the appropriate resolution/or resolutions at a later meeting.

The report, attached as Appendix E to the Final EIR, is dated October 1, 1998. The report concluded that annexation as proposed would provide modest fiscal benefits to the City. The report noted that if development were to be constructed under County jurisdiction, the City could expect to incur service costs in excess of revenues, while the City would experience positive income if development were pursued following annexation. The report estimated a positive fiscal impact of 514Q.00 per residence per year if annexation occurred, and a loss of S 179.00 per residence per year if the development occurred under County jurisdiction. DISCUSSION: The proposed project involves the proposed annexation of an 86.3 acre area located north of James Way in the vicinity of Mesquite Lane. The applicant Staff Report: James Way Annexation April 27, 1999 Page 2 requests, as part of the project, that the City (1) certify the environmental impact report p~epared for the project, (2) approve a General Plan amendment to amend the Land Use Plan Map to designate the parcel Rural Residential, and (3) approve an amendment to the Development Code to change the zoning of the parcei to Rural Residential. If the City Council takes the requested actions, the applicant could apply to the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for amendment of the City of Arroyo Grande's sphere of service and annexation of the parcel to the City of Arroyo Grande. If LAFCO approves the annexation and amendment of the sphere of service, this acreage will become part of the City. The applicant has also filed applications fo~ Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2265 and Planned Unit Development 97-56. These applications, if approved, would establish the manner in which approximately 64 acres of the annexation area would be developed. These applications are not before the City Council for consideration at this time because annexation must precede their consideration. The Planning Commission considered the matter on March 30, 1999 and recommended approval as follows: • Res. 99-1689-Recommending Certification of EIR Vote: 5-0 • Res. 99-1690-Recommending Amending General Plan Vote: 41 (Chair Greene dissenting) • Res. 99-1691-Amending Development Code Vote: 41 (Chair Greene dissenting) During the Planning Commission hearing, discussion focused on several aspects of the project. The Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting are attached as Attachment B. The following areas of discussion merit special comment: Groundwater resources: Policy 8.1 of the General Plan, Land Use Element, includes the following implementation action: Permit new deve%pments only where and when adequate water services can be provided, and when the provision of adequate water service can be assured by providing system-wide water improvements in advance of needs. The applicant has proposed to offset the projected water demand for the project by developing and dedicating a new water well for City use. The well is located off the project site and is referred to in project documents as the "Deer Trail Well." Staff Report: James Way Annexation April 27, 1999 Page 3 The Deer Trail Weil draws water from the Pismo aquifer, which is the same aquifer as is currently accessed by the City's Oak Park Well. The Pismo aquifer in not subject to the "Gentlemen's Agreement" regarding use of the Arroyo Grande-Tri Cities Mesa groundwater basin. While the applicant has submitted reports that support the finding that the Deer Trail Well would produce water in• sufficient quantity to meet the General Plan test, there are concerns regarding the qua/ity of the water that would be produced. The water quality of the Oak Park Well is such that wellhead treatment is required, and it is expected that the same situation would apply to the Deer Trail Well. The Planning Commission questioned the estimate of cost regarding wellhead treatment, and whether that would affect the decision of the City as to accepting the p~oposed dedication. The Planning Commission also questioned the proposed mitigation measures in the Final EIR concerning the quantity of water that might be obtained from the Deer Trail Well. The Final ElR noted that the output of the p~oposed well was not certain, and that the well might have an impact on neighboring wells. The Final EIR proposed that the well should be drilled, constructed, and tested as recommended in the report submitted by the applicant's consultant prior to the issuance of a project grading permit or final tract map approval. Long-term testing would be continued following project approval. The well testing program recommended in the EIR is summarized as follows: 1. Verify the maximum well flow rate: Per mitigation E1, perform a flow test, a step drawdown test, and a well recovery test to verify the well flow capacity (To be performed prior to any grading permit or final tract map approvall. 2. V~~ifv the net flow considering drawdown on other Citv wells: Per mitigation E1, perform a test to verify the drawdown effect on the Los Robles Del Mar and the Oak Park well. This test is a 30 day test and will be used to determine whether the new well should be pumped at a lower rate to avoid interference, and to determine the resulting effective net water supply (To be performed prior to any grading permit or finai tract map approval). Staff recommends that this test a/so inc/ude monitoring of existing p~ivate wells in the area. 3. Verify water auality and anv needed treatment: Per mitigation E3, test for water quality, with the applicant to p~ovide treatment as required (To be performed after the flow and drawdown tests, and prior to any gradirig permit of final tract map approval). Staff Report: James Way Annexation April 27, 1999 Page 4 4. Verify ~ossible interference with other City wells• Per mitigation E1 and E2, perform regular city monito~ing of the area groundwater levels. Reevaluate biannually for 2 years to confirm the above results (To be performed after project implementation). 5. Verify the possible interference with private wells in the area: Per mitigation E2. Pre-zoning and a/ternatives: The ElR analyzed the project proposed by the applicant. This included "pre-zoning" the site as Rural Residential. LAFCO requires such pre- zoning as part of its procedu~e so the land use impacts of the p~oposed annexation can be properly reviewed. During the Planning Commission hearing, there was discussion regarding the impact of the applicant's proposal, and other possible alternatives with regard to pre-zoning. The Planning Commission asked whether the City could pre-zone the parcel in a manner different than that proposed by the applicant, and staff responded that it could. Staff also indicated that creating a different pre-zoning could have an impact on the project, and could require a re-analysis of potential impacts. If the alternative zoning made the project infeasible, the applicant could abandon the project. With no application before it, LAFCO would not act. Different pre-zoning was discussed. It was suggested that the large parcel, currently proposed as being subject to an open space easement, could, as an alternative, be given a pre-zoning that would assure it wouid remain open space, and the remaining area of the site could be pre-zoned as residential with a density to be dete~mined by the Planning Commission. Staff indicated that this alternative had not been pursued by staff. If such an alternative were viewed as desirable, staff would need sufficient time to review alternatives and make a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council. The Planning Commission, following discussion, concluded that the Rural Residential designation would give the Planning Commission adequate authority to establish the appropriate number of building sites once the water testing proposed as a mitigation measure is completed (See discussion under groundwater resources, abovel. If the applicant eventually requests a planned unit development designation for the site, the City would have additional authority with regard to site planning, protection of open space, and density of development. Traffic: The EIR concluded that the proposed project would have no significant impact in the area of traffic. Because there was no significant impact identified, the EIR contained no mitigation measures. The project would add traffic to City roadways, including Rodeo D~ive. Staff Report: James Way Annexation Apri/ 27, 1999 Page 5 Chair Greene indicated that he believed that traffic on Rodeo D~ive was unacceptable and that the City had a responsibility to address the situation. In response to questions from Chair Greene, the applicant's representative commented that project conditions, mitigation measures, and monetary exactions must bear a nexus to the project. Chair Greene encouraged the applicant to participate in an effort to fashion a community response to the Rodeo Drive situation. Commissioner Keen stated that he believed there should be a way to make sure that any traffic mitigation fees paid by the applicant were used to fund improvements in the immediate area of the project. E/R response to comments: At the Planning Commission meeting on March 30, 1999, Mr. Fred Wendell mentioned that responses to his oral comments had been included in the EIR, but not the detailed written comments he had submitted. Attached to this staff report is the response by David Foote, the EIR consultant, regarding Mr. Wendell's letter, and the ElR coverage of the issues raised in the lette~. One of the speakers at the Planning Commission stated that she had been unable to locate the environmental document at the South County Library, as indicated in the public notice. Staff has confirmed that a copy of the EIR was, in fact, available at the South County Library. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: A Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been p~epared for this project. The EIR, dated February 1999, has been distributed to the City Council under separate cover. CONCLUSION: Approval of the annexation and pre-zoning as requested would represent a logical expansion of the City limits, consistent with the 1983 LAFCO sphere of influence study and the City's General Plan. The EIR concluded that if proposed Tentative Tract Map 2265 proceeds under City jurisdiction the net fiscal impact would be a positive S140 per dwelling pe~ year. Conversely, the same project built under County jurisdiction would cost the City $179 pe~ dwelling per year, since the City would incur costs for services, but would not receive the income stream that would be generated from development within the City.

Amend the General Plan to designate the project site as Rural Residential (RR). 3. Amend the City Zoning Map to prezone the project site as Rural Residential (RR). LOCATION: The projec~ is located north and east of James Way, adjacent to the northem city limit in unincorporated County lands. See Exhibit 1, Location Map. REPRESENTATIVE: Garry L. Young Hearing Notices sent on March 19, 1999. Staff Report Prepared by Tom Buford. ~ Site Inspection by Jim Hamilton, AICP and Tom Buford on March 23, 1999. Parcel Size: Annexation area is 86 acres. The applicant has proposed a Tentative Tract Map 2265, which would encompass 64 acres of the project site. The tract map would cfuster 58 residential lots on 33.76 acres, and would create one open space parcel of 30.24 acres. Planning Commission Staff Report Re: ~llage Glen Annexation Mai'ch 30, 1999 Page 2 of 16 Terrain: The proposed annexation area straddles a ridge, sloping upward from James Way towards the north. There is a steep siope on the eastside of the ridge, which combined with a ridge from the north, forms a small canyon in the upper middle of the property. Vegetation: There are several vegetation types on the property. The site has been grazed by cattle over many years, so that native vegetation has been almost completely removed. The present vegetation consists primarily of introduced annual grasses and forbs. There are also stands of mature coast live oaks, primarily along the northem edge of the annexation boundary. There are few young oaks, and most of the understory has been replaced by introduced annual grasses. Two species of lupine have been observed on the site, the blue lupine and the tree lupine. Existing Land Use: The annexation area has five existi~g residences. Four of these are located outside of the proposed Tentative Tract 2265. Existing General Plan Designation: County of San Luis Obispo: Residential Suburban Existing Zoning Designation: County of San Luis Obispo: Residentia( Suburban Proposed General Plan Designation: Suburban Residential ~ Proposed Zoning Designation: Suburban Residential Surrounding Land Use2oning/General Plan Designation: North: Residential Suburban (County), with lot sizes averaging 2.5 acres East: Rural Residential (City), with lot sizes of approximately one acre within the City limits South: Existing residential (Royai Oaks P. D. 1.3) within the City limits; southwest comer of anAexation area adjacent to open space lot. West: Existing residential uses within the City limits zoned RE (Residential Estate) with lots approximately 2 to 5 acxes in size, and residential Planned Development (Tract 1834 -east), currerrtly undeveloped, with planned iot sizes of 12,400 square feet to 26,000 square feet. Planning Commission Stai~ Report Re: Village Glen Mnexation March 30, 1999 Page 3 of 16 RECOMMENDATION 1) Adopt a resolution certifying that the Final Environmental Impact Report prepared for General Plan Amendment 97-004, Development Code Amendment 97-009, Vesting Tentative Map 2265, and Planned Development 97-56 has been prepared in compliance with the Califomia Environmental Quality Aet and the C~ty of Arroyo Grande's CEQA Implementing Procedures; and 1) Approve Gene'ral Plan Amendment No. 97-004, thereby amending the General Plan Land Use Diagram and designating the property Rural Residential; and 2) Approve Development Code Amendment No. 97-009, thereby amending the City's adopted Zoning Map and prezoning the property Rural Residential (RR), preliminary to annexation the property. If the Planning Commission takes other action, stafF will retum with the appropriate resolutions for adoption by the Planning Commission. FUTURE PROJECT ACTIONS The Commission's review of this project will include finro additional discretionary actions, neither of which is before the Planning Commission at this time: ? Approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2265 to create 58 residential lots, and 1 lot of 32.17 acres in size. Lot 59 would include a designated building area of 1.93 acres, with the remaining 30.24 acres in a designated open space easement. ? Approve Planned Unit Development 97-563 to allow clustering of the 58 residential lots. The applicant has submitted an application for approval of Tentative Tract Map 2265, which would include approximately 64 acres of the project site. However, the applicant has recently revised the plans for Tentative Tract 2265, and has re- submitted such plans to City. The most recent set of plans was received February 26, 1999. Several of these modifications resulted from comments received during the Draft EIR Public hearing. Therefore, the Tentative Tract Map is not before the Planning Commission for decision at this time. The applicant is in the process of preparing and submitting a grading and drainage plan, and elevations of the proposed residences required for the Planned Development approval. When these materials have been received, review witl-be scheduled before the Architectural Review Committee (ARC), and Staff Advisory Committee (SAC1. Once the recommendatio~ of the ARC has been received, it ~ would be forwarded to the Planning Commission, and consideration of the proposed tentative tract map would be scheduled before the Planning Commission. Planning Commission Staff Report Re: Village Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 4 of 16 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISCRETIONARY ACTIONS The applications before the Planning Commission at this time, if approved by the City Council, would allow the applicant to pursue an application for annexation before the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency formation Commission (LAFCO). LAFCO would consider the application based, in part, on the City's zoning of the project site as Rural Residential (RR). If the application for a tentative parcel map and planned unit development permit were ultimately approved, they would control the developme~t of the portion of the site included in those applications. It is possible, however, that the City would eventually deny these applications, or that the applicarrt would withdraw them. In that case, assuming LAFCO approval of the annexation nequest, the project site would remain zoned as Rural Residential. Any later proposal for subdivision would be required to follow the application procedures for a tentative parcel or tract map. BACKGROUND Proiect description: The proposed project includes a request for the City to annex 86.3 acres north of James Way, and prezone the property Rural Residential (RR). This would include an amendment of the Land Use Diagram of the General Plan, designating the property Rural Residential. This land use designation would allow a density of one residential unit per gross area, co~sistent with the RR zoning. Approval of the General Plan and Developmerrt Code amendments as requested, would change the Land Use designation from Residential Suburban (County) to Rural Residential, and rezone the property from Suburban Residential (minimum lot sizes 2.5 acres to 1.0 acre if on community water or sewer) to Rural Residential (density of one residential unit per acre). In effect, the site is `pre-zoned" to advise the applicant and others of the intended zoning to be applied by the City if annexation of the site occurs. The revised tract map (Tract Map 2265) wouid subdivide approximately 64 acxes of the annexation area, creating 58 residerrtial lots ranging from 14,214 square feet to 53,702 square feet in size; and cxeating a single lot containing a 1.93 acre building site, and a 30.24 acre open space easement (Lot 59). The Planned Unit Development request would permit clustering of residences on lots below 40,000 square feet in size. Access to the project is proposed at two locations on James Way. The circulation system consists of a local street (36-feet paved in a 60-foot right-of-way) and two short cul-de-sacs. The 11.25 acre parcel southwest of Tract 2265 could potentially link the Rodeo Drive cul-de-sac to a street stub-0ut within the tract. Lot 59 would continue to have access from Canyon Way. ~ Planning Commission Stat~Report Re: Village Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 5 of 16 ~ Proiect Location The project site is located on the northem edge of Arroyo Grande outside the City limits (see Map 1 Vicinity Map). Map 2-Annexation Area shows the site and surrounding property pattem. To the north, large lot residential land uses are located on Printz Road. To the east, in the City of Arroyo Grande, developed residential areas exist on Canyon Way. To the south, single family residential developments occur along James Way. To the west, large lot residential development exists on Easy Sfreet, which is within the City limits. Annexation Area The annexation area is approximately 86.3 acres in size (see Map 3- Annexation Properties), and Tentative Tract 2265 comprises about 64 acres of the area. The proposed annexation area includes Tentative Tract Map 2265 and five other parcels under various ownership, as shown on Table P-1 below. There are six (6) existing residences within the annexation area. The City of Arroyo Grande surrounds the project area on three sides, and annexation of the property would be consistent with LAFCO poliaes requiring that annexations be logical in character.

Lots not included in Tract 2265 would be eligible for connection to city water and sewer service, as well as other city services such as police, fire, after annexation. These Planning Commission Staf~ Repat Re: Village Glen Annexation Mar~ch 30, 1999 Page 6 of 16 parcels couid subdivide in the future into smaller lots down to one acre. Aithough the proposed zoning would alfow one acre lots, it is not Gear that the three parcels in the northeast corner of the annexation area (about 8 acres) are suitable for subdivision into one-acre lots due to topography, oak trees, the location of existing homes and appurtenant driveways and improvements. The parcels in the southwest comer of the annexation area totaling about 11.25 gross acres might feasibly be subdivided to about 11 lots. Therefore, those areas not in Tract 2265 would add five existing houses, and could add 10 to 17 potential new residences to the City, subject to City approval, if annexed. PROJECT HISTORY The following chronology highlights the history of the project: DATE EVENT June, 1995 Applications for annexation and tentative tract map file Owner. Robert James, et al. July 21, 1995 Application deemed incomplete August 3, 1995 Application re-submitted September 1, 1995 Application deemed complete October 3, 1995 Staff Advisory Committee review October 8, 1996 Staff Advisory Committee review November 30, 1998 Notice of Completion of EIR (SCH # 98071100) January 5, 1999 Planning Commission hearing for public comment on draft EIR January 18, 1999 Close of public comment period on draft EIR PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS CEQA Review The Califomia Environmental Quality Act sets forth-spe~c procedures for evaluating and disclosing the environmental effects of proposed activities. The City has adopted local °implementing procedures" to provide objectives, criteria, and procedures for the ~ orderly evaluations of projects pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines. Section 9 of the City's Implementing Procedures sets forth the steps to be followed in preparing and reviewing Environmental Impact Reports. P/anning Commission Statf Repoif Re: ~llage Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 7 of 16 The °decision making bod~' for the project (in this case the City Council), must certify that the CEQA process has been completed, and that significant environmental impacts created by the project have been mitigated where feasible, before approving the project. The Planning Commission's role is to make a recommendation to the Council on the adequacy of the environmental document in meeting the CEQA requirements. General Plan Amendments Section 9-03.020 et seq., of the Development Code sets forth the procedural steps to be followed in reviewing requests for a General Plan Amendment. The Planning Commission must review such requests for consistency with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, and must recommend by resolution to the City Counal that the proposed amendment be approved, approved in modified form, or disapproved. Specific findings are provided to aid the Commission in making a recommendation to the Council. amendments to Zonina Districts Section 9-03.040 et seq., of the Development Code sets forth the procedural steps to be followed in reviewing requests for amendments to Zoning Districts. The Planning Commission must review such requests, and must recommend by resoiution to the City Council that the proposed amendment be approved, approved in modified form, or disapproved. The purpose of the Commission's recommendation is to ensure consistency between the Development Code and the General Plan. Spe~c findings are provided to aid the Commission in making a recommendation to the CounciL Annexation Annexation is a tenn used to describe the attachment or addition of territory to a city or special district. An annexation results in a change to a political boundary line between a city and a county. Annexation may affect the level and responsibility for certain public services being provided to residents, busi~ess owners, and property owners within the affected territory. In California, the annexation of territory to a city or district is govemed by the State Govemment Code. These state laws were established "to encourage orderiy community growth and development which is essential to the social, fiscal, and economic well-being of the state". These state laws also establish special boards to review and approve all annexation proposals within each of Califomia's 58 counties. These special boards are called °local agency formation commissions" or LAFCOs. In our county, the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission must review and authorize ail annexations. In order for LAFCO to consider an annexation request, the Arroyo Grande City Council must first approve the request. Typically, the property will be "prezoned" by the Council before the annexation request is submitted to the County LAFCO by the applicant. Prezoning identifies the zoning district that will be applied to each property, if the territory is ultimately annexed to Arroyo Grande. The Planning Commission's affirmative Planning Commission StalT Repat Re: ~llage Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 8 of 16 (or negative) recommendation in regards to the Generai Plan Amendment and Prezoning request, serves as the Commissions recommendation. GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY The General Pian for the City of Arroyo Grande contains provisions that relate to annexations and extensions of City services. The following policy and impiementation actions concern the findings that must be made in connection with such a request: 10.1 Permit the annexation of unincorporated areas within the General Plan study area when consistent with the general plan in limited circumstances. Implementation Actions: a. Require all of the following findings to be made prior to permitting annexations: • The proposed annexafion will not impact the amount of water resources available e/sewhere within the Cit}r. The total projected water demand for the proposed project is estimated at 53 acre-feet per year (afy). This corresponds to a well output of 33.2 gallons per minute (gpm}. (EIR p. IV-E5). The EIR concluded that the minimum well capacity that should be shown to serve the proposed development is 45 to 50 gpm. The applicant has proposed supplying water for the project by the constn.iction of a new water supply well, located approximately one mile west of the project. The new well, located at the intersection of Deer Trail Circle and Equestrian Way (the °Deer Trail well°), would be dedicated to the City by the applicant. The City would be responsible for serving the project following annexation, with the installation of water meters. The Deer Traii well would extract water from a deep aquifer zone in the Pismo Foundation. The Deer Trail well would draw from a different aquifer than that over which the project is located. Cleath & Associates tested the Deer Trail well site, and a report submitted dated July 3, 1998. The Cleath report concluded that the Deer Trail well would be capable of producing a continuous discharge of 100 gpm. The EIR took outpu# from the City's Oak Park well into account, and concluded that production from the Deer Trai( well couid be half of that forecast by Cleath. This quantity would be sufficient to satisfy output requirements-#or the wetl. Cleath concluded that the aquifer is not in a state of overdraft. (Cleath, p. 5) The water quality of the Deer Trail well is unknown. Based on the water quality of the City's Oak Park we(I, which taps the same aquifer, it is likely that the water will contain elevated concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, manganese, and iron. Water quafity testing would be required if the well were brought on fine and proposed for use in the City's Planning Commission Staff Report Re: ~llage Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 9 of 16 water supply. Presence of the above minerai, or certain other constituents, wouid require treatment at the well head prior to use. The Final EIR discusses groundwater resources on pages IV-E1 to IV-E11. The EIR proposed mitigation measures to respond to environmental impacts concerning groundwater withdrawal, well interference, and water quality. The EIR concluded that with incorporation of the mitigation measures, residual impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels. Even though the EIR reached this conclusion, the City must determine whether the applicant's manner of satisfying the project demand for water is consistent with City policy. The EIR noted: The City must make a policy decision regarding the feasibility of incorporating and operating jaJ /ow-producing water we/l with water nequiring wellhead treatment into the municipal water supply system. Typically, wells that produce the volume of water expected from the Deer Trail well are significantly more expensive to maintain and operate than larger production wells located c/oser to the main supply grid. This issue becomes parficula?iy relevant because the Deer Trail well will like/y require wellhead tieatment, and because it will interiere, albeit in a relative/y minor fashion, with operation of the existing Oak Park well. A/though the new well is expected to provide the City with a quant;ty of water at least equal to the vo/ume of the project demand, the new well will not necessarily improve the City's water supply capability, except for creating rredundancy in the system by essentially creating a backup well for the Oak Park we1l.(EIR p. IV-E8) To address issues of timing, quality, and quality, specific mitigation measures have been included in the EIR and will be made conditions of approval for any subdivision approvals. The issue of operational costs to maintain and operate the well are poiicy issues requiring a determination by the City Council. Altemative measures that provide equal mitigation. could also be approved by the City before acceptance of the Deer Creek Well. • C/ear compatibility exists with the community's basic identify as a rural, sma// town community; the goa/s and desi~es of fhe people and the City of Arroyo Grande as a who%; and with the community's existing availab/e resources. James Way serves as one of the main thoroughfares for residential developments in the foothills surrounding the City. The annexation proposal would incorporate into the community one of the few remaining County parcels having frontage on- James Way. Upon annexation the project area would be zoned consistent with the City's Rural Residential District which establishes development standards consistent with the Community's basic identity as a rural residential area. This designation is also consistent with the land use and zoning designations of adjacent properties. Planning Commission Staff Report Re: Village Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 10 of 16 The applicant has applied for approval of a tentative tract map for the parcel. Although the map is not before the Planning Commission for consideration at this time, the tract map would provide guidance conceming the character and extent of future residential development on the site. Annexation would provide the City with land use authority over development of the parcel. Incorporating the parcel into the City would atso provide the City with an income stream from the property, in the form of real property taxes and other assessments, that would not be present if the property were developed as an unincorporated area. The extent to which income offsets the cost of providing services is analyzed in the fiscal impact study. Annexation and development of the parcel would be consistent with previous development activity in the James Way vicinity. The City, through conditions imposed on the tentative tract map approval, could control to some extent, the character, extent, and intensity of development on the site. This would be consistent with the desire of community residents to have a significant role in planning for the future of the community. • The proposed annexation is consistent with goa/s and objectives of the Genera/ Plan, parficularly in regard fo protection of aqricultura! and open space lands. The project site is within the county~iesignated urban reserve line (URL) for the City of Arroyo Grande. This is analogous to the sphere of influence, because it identifies the area for future urban and suburban growth within the next twenty years. Framework for Planning, which is Part I of the County's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element, contains public service policies for maintaining a distinction between rural and urban development by requiring extension of urban services to areas within the URL, and restricting the extension of such services beyond the URL. The primary purpose of the policies in the County's Comprehensive Plan is to enhance the pattern of identifiable communities and to discourage premature intensive development in areas without infrastructure required to serve such development. Related to these policies is the general goal of encouraging the phasing of urban development, first using vacant or underutilized parcels as °in-fill' parcels and other properties adjacent to existing development. San Luis Obispo County Department of Planning and Building has advised LAFCO, by ._memorandum dated August 27, 1995, that it views the annexatian of the project site favorably. The memorandum (Attachment 7), comments on the various urban services that could be provided to the site if annexation were to occur, and that woutd otherwise be provided either on an individual basis (e.g. septic systems, water wells) or occur in a less carefully planned manner (e.g. drainage). Planning Commission Staff Repoit Re: Vllage Glen Mnexation March 30, 1999 Page 11 of 16 Tract Map 2265 proposes ciustering of residential lots within the annexation area for the purpose of p~eserving large areas of open space and reducing development impacts. This design would be consistent with General Plan Land Use Objectives and Policies 2.1 a., -e., 6.3 e., -g; 7.1 d.; • Significant bene~ts will be derived by the City upon annexation. The fiscal impact analysis conducted by Crawford, Multari & Clark has examined and analyzed the costs and benefits of the annexation proposal consisterrt with the guidelines established by the City. The analysis, dated October 1, 1998, is attached to the Final ElR as Appendix E. The report updated a previous report for the same site conducted in August, 1996. The fiscal report concluded: Like the ana/ysis trvo years ago, this update suggests that the proposed annexation will provide modest fiscal benefits fo fhe Cify of Arroyo Grande. !f the development were (toJ be constructed under County jurisdiction, the City could expect to incur service costs in excess of revenues. (Fiscal report, pages 3-4) The report concluded that net revenue per residential unit with annexation would be $140.00 per year; if the property were developed in County jurisdiction, the net loss per residential unit would be $179.00 per year. • Adequate infrastructure and services have been or can be economically provided in accordance with cument City standards. The applications before the Planning Commission for consideration at this time include only the General Plan Amendment and Development Code amendment. These actions, by themselves, would have no fiscal impact on the City, and would require no additional infrastructure or services not already provided to the project directly (roads), or indirectly through mutual aid agreements for police and fire services. As previously stated, the project area is surrounded on three sides by the City limits. In addition, the City provides service to this area under current mutuai aid agreements. As identified in the Fiscal Analysis for the project, revenues collected from the proposed tract will exceed service costs provided under current city standards. (See table - Fiscal Impact Summary, pg. 4) If approved, these applications would enable the applicant to seek annexation through the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation Commission. The applicant is pursuing an application for Tentative Tract 2265, and a planned unit development designation, projects that would have a demonstrable impact on infrastructure and service~s. Mitigation measures and conditions of approval for development of the property, will require that development costs and ongoing services will be funded by the project applicants or future residents. P/anning Commission Staff Report Re: Village Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 12 of 16 In discussing the findings required by the General Pian, staff has evaluated not only the annexation request itself, but the proposal put forth by the applicant conceming the likely development of the site. The project analyzed in the EIR and fiscal impact study inGuded 63 residential lots, and one lot subject to an open space easement. Fire: The City maintains a fire department consisting of forty volunteers and a full-time, paid fire chief. The fiscal impact report noted that insuring an adequate levei of response is sometimes di~cult with a volunteer-based department. Average response times in the City are approximately 12.6 minutes for fire, and eight (8) minutes for medical emergencies. The project site is, and will be, accessible via established and improved roadways, and response times would be similar to the established standards. The City has not adopted standards for staffing and response times for fire protection. Nor has the City adopted impact fees to cover the cost of additional facilities that might be needed due to development. The City conducts an annual review as part of the City Council's budget process. This procedure would be used to determine the requirements for additional staffing and facilities that might be needed to serve the proposed project as well as other areas of the community. Police: The City Police Departme~t is currently staffed with 23 full-time swom personnel, 16 of which are in uniformed service. The department also employs 8 auxiliary officers who work part-time. As with the Fire Department, the City has not adopted standards for st~ng and response times for police proteciion services. Nor has the City adopted impact fees to cover the cost of additional capital facilities that might be needed due to development. The City conducts an annual review as part of the City Council's budget process. This procedure would be used to determine the requirements for additional staffing and facilities that might be needed to serve the proposed project as well as other areas of the community. Solid waste: Solid waste collection and disposal is provided to the project site by South County Sanitary Service, Inc. Sotid waste is hauled to one of the several landfills located in San Luis Obispo County. Cold Canyon Landfill serves the City and is located approximately nine miles southeast on Highway 227. The landfill has a remaining capacity of approximately twenty years. San Luis Obispo County and City of Arroyo Grande have prepared a long-#erm waste management plan that contains goals for waste reduction and recycling. Development within the annexation area would be subject to all requirements contained within the plan including mandatory recycling and greenwaste collection. The E1R prepared for the project concluded that there is adequate capacity for solid waste disposal to accommodate the proposed project. Planning Commission Staff Repo~t Re: ~!lage Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 13 of 16 Wastewater. The project area lies within the boundaries of the San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District. The District operates a wastewater treatment plant in the community of Oceano that serves Arroyo Grande and surrounding communities. The treatment plant, which is licensed to treat 5.0 million gaAons of effluent per day, is projected to meet the demand for sewer service within the District through the year 2015. The EIR and fiscal study analyzed the projected demand for sanitary sewer service from the proposed project, and noted that the project demand of 16,589 gallons per day would constitute approximately 0.75°~ of the remaining capacity of the treatment plant. The study concluded that there is adequate wastewater treatment plant capacity to accommodate the project buildout. Schoo/s: The project lies within the Luaa Mar Unified School District. The District provides primary and secondary education in southem San Luis Obispo County. The District is currently charging an impact fee for new residential construction. The District has reached agreement with the appiicant regarding the impact fees to be charged, and has indicated that the District is satisfied that impacts of the proposed project on the school system have been fully mitigated. The School District is the "Responsible and Trustee Agenc~' designated by CEQA with the authority to determine the adequacy of mitigation measures required to address the impacts created by the project. Parks: The City maintains and operates a system of parks, and also operates recreation facilities and programs. The City Parks and Recxeation Element of the General Plan seeks to establish and maintain a ratio of four acres of developed parkland per 1,000 population. To achieve this objective, the City employs provisions of the Subdivision Map Act that allow local govemments to require the dedication of land, and/or the payment of money in the form of in-lieu fees. The City has adopted an implementing ordinance, and assesses and collects such fees. Collection of the in-lieu fee is considered sufficient to offset the additional demand for parks that would result from project buildout. Traffic: The project analyzed in the EIR and traffic study conducted in connection with the project included 63 single-family residences. The applicant has since reduced the number of lots in the subdivision. The analysis here is based on the project reviewed in the EIR. The traffic study analyzed the impact of project tra~c on the foilowing intersections: ¦ Brisco Road/W. Branch Street/U.S. Highway 101 Northbound ramps ¦ East Branch Street/Traffic Way ~ ¦ East Branch Street/West Branch Street/Grand Avenue ¦ Grand Avenue/U.S. Highway 101 interchange (2 locations) ¦ EI Camino Real/Halcyon/U. S. Highway 101 southbound ramps Planning Commission Staff Repat Re: Village G/en Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 14 of 16 ¦ Rodeo Drive between James Way and the intersection of the proposed Grace Lane extension. The traffic study first reviewed the volume of traffic that would be generated by the project, and the distribution of that traffic on area streets. Based on trip generation rates contained in the ITE Trip Generation reference (6~' Edition, 1997), the study concluded that the project would generate 602 new daily trips, with 64 p.m. peak hour trips. Distribution of these trips to area streets was based on existing traffic pattems, location of employment and shopping destinations, and the consultant's knowledge of travel pattems in the City. Once project-generated trips were distributed to area streets, the traffic study calculated the intersection levels of service that resulted, compared to existing service levels. The City's minimum level of service standard is LOS C, with LOS D acceptable on a short- term basis provided there is an improvement identified that will provide a minimum LOS C when the improvement is completed. The study concluded that levels of service on the study area intersections for existing plus project traffic were at LOS C or above. See Table 1, below, Column (2).

These are determined by adding in the vehicles trips generated by approved and proposed projects within the City. (See Table D3, EIR, page IV-D5.) P/anning Commission Staff Report Re: Village Glen Annexatan . March 30, 1999 Page 15 of 16 The report concluded that baseline trips could add 32,547 daily trips, and 2,999 p.m. peak-hour trips to the road network within the City. These trips were then added to the existing trips. All intersections remained at LOS C or better, with the exception of Brisco Road/U.S. 101 northbound ramps, which would operate at LOS D. (See Table 1, below, Column (3). The EIR noted that the City was completing a study of traffic improvements at this intersection, and that any of the three identified altematives would improve the level of service at this intersection to LOS C or better. The tra~c study ne~ analyzed baseline plus project traffic at study area intersections. The addition of the project traffic to baseline traffic did not change any of the levels of service calculated for the baseline alone. See Table 1, below, Column (4). The addition of daily traffic from the project was not expected to significantly change any roadway level of service on a City roadway. Rodeo Drive During the public comment period on the Draft EIR, issues were raised in regards to the impact of the annexation (specifically development of Tract 2265) on Rodeo Drive. These issued are addressed in Response to Comment 15.1 of the final E1R. The EIR concluded that the project would not have a significant impact on study area intersections, based on the threshold of significance utilized by the City. • The proposed annexation will generate su~cient revenues to adequately pay for the provision of City services. One of the purposes of the fiscal impact study was to determine whether the revenue from the proposed project would be sufficient to pay for City services to be provided. The study used an average cost approach to estimate public service costs for the proposed project. This process evaluates the cost of providing the service (e.g. a department's annual budget) and the extent to which the service is directed toward residential uses, as opposed to commercial or industrial (e.g., percenfage of police calls to residences). In addition, the fiscal study also evaluated the impact of providing services to persons not residing in the City. For example, if the project were not approved, and project development occurred in the unincorporated area, those residing in the development would be e~ected to use City parks and other services. Thus, the City would incur a cost without receiving a source of revenue (e.g., real property taxes) to offset such cost. Having evaluated such factors, the fiscal study concfuded that the proposed annexation ~ and development with residential uses as proposed would provide modest fiscal benefits to the City. The study also concluded that if the project were constructed under County jurisdiction, the City could expect to incur costs in excess of revenues. P/anning Commission Stal~ Report Re: Village Glen Annexation March 30, 1999 Page 16 of 16 ~ Recommendation: It is recommended that this annexation be approved because it is consistent with adopted county general plan po(icies and because the city is in the best position to provide the needed level of services for existing and expanded development of the site. Staff Advisorv Committee: The Staff Advisory Committee considered the annexation request and proposal for Tentative Tract 2265 on December 8, 1998. Comments were received primarily concerning proposed Tract 2265, and the Parks department indicated an oak tree protection plan would be required. Minutes of the meeting are attached (Attachment 8.) Architectural Advisorv Committee: The ARC has not reviewed the project. The applicant has not produced elevations for the residences proposed for the site. In the absence of elevations, and given the review for aesthetic issues conducted during the E1R process, review by the ARC will await the submittal of more specific development ptans.

ARROYO GRANDE 15,330 18,056 2726 1.7 ~ SAN LUIS BAY 47,485 56,814 9,329 1.99 f. Present Land IIse Designation in Countp Land Use Elemen~ The site is designated Residential Suburban. There are no Combining Designations on the site. ~ g. Existing land use(s) in subject territory: The site has historically been larger lot (2.5 to 20 acre) homesites. It is made up of nine parcels, seven being developed with single family residences. . h. Subject territory's relationship to Planning Lines (URL, USL, Coastal Zone, Etc.): The site is within the San Luis Bay (Inland) planning area of the Land Use Element of the general plan. The site is within the Arroyo Grande Urban Reserve Line (URL) but outside of the Urban Services Line (USL) designated in the county general plan. The URL is coterminous in this area with the Arroyo Grande City Limits. The site is also within the city's Sphere of Influence hniinriarv LAFCo Refetral Au~ist 27, 1995 " Page 3 The Land Use Element of the City of Arroyo Grande's general pIan includes the site in their Planning Impact Area (PIA). The PIA indicates the maximum potential growth area for the city in the foreseeable future or areas where the development pattern would have an immediate impact upon the city. Being with the city's PIA does not represent a commitment on the part of the city to annex the areas it contains. The city does not currently have the site designated in their general plan. The site will~ have to go through the city's pre-zonina process. i. Planning Area Standards pei-taining to the subject property: There are standards that apply to the subject property. The standards apply to all areas within the Arroyo Grande Fringe. The standards read as follows: 1. Limitation on Use. Uses identified in Table O,. Part I of the Land Use Element as "A" or "S" uses may be permitted except nursing and personal care; and correctional institutions. 2. Soecialized Animal Facilities. Land use permit applications for speciaiized animal facilities hall address and mitigate any identified . impacts of erosion and downstream sedimentation that would be caused by the establishment of the facilities. 3. New Land Divisions. Prior to acceptance of any application for land division as complete, the , applicant shall provide information to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building, in consultation with, the Direcior of Environmental Health and the Environmental Coordinator that: (1) adequate groundwater resources are available to serve the proposed land division and (2) each proposed parcel can accommodate an individual sewage disposal system. The results of this information shall be incorporated into the design and proposed density of the land division. j. Land Use Designation and existing uses of adjacent parcels: North: scattered residential single family dwellings designated Residential Suburban_ ~ South: scattered residential single family dwellings on larger lot rural land wittiin the Arroyo Grande city limits. East: residenrial single family dwellings within the Arroyo Crande city• limits. ~ West: scattered residential single family dwellings on larger lot rural land within the Arroyo Grande city limits. k. Subdivision and building activity in the area: Recent activity consists of the con6nuing subdivision of the unincorporated Arroyo Grande Fringe into parcel sizes consistent with the zoning, and the on-going development of the Rancho Grande, Royal Oal:s and Tally Ho neighborhoods within the city. LAFCo Referral - August 27, 1995 Page 4 1. Miscellaneous information concerning the subject property or area: RMS Tnformation: The 1994 Annual Resource Summary Report for the ~ Resource Management System (RMS) of the county Land Use Element indicates the status of key resources and service capacitates in unincorporated areas. For the greater area containing the site, the 1994 report identifies recommended levels of severity of level TII for Arroyo Grande's elementary schools and high schools and level II for middle schools. County general plan policies: The site is within the county-designated urban reserve Iine (URL), for the city of Arroyo Grande. this is analogous to the sphere of influence because it indicates the area for additional urban and suburban growth within a 20 year timeframe. Framework for Planning, Part I of the LUE, contains public service policies for maintaining a distinction between rural and urban development by directing the extension of urban services to areas within urban and village reserve lines and restricting such services form being proyided outside those Iines (chapter 4). The purposes of these policies for maintaining a clear distinction between rural and urban development aze to enhance the pattern of identifiable communities and to discourage premature intensive development in areas without all needed services being available. Related to these policies is a general goal in framework for encouraging the phasing of urban development in a compact manner, first using vacant or underutilized "infill" parcels and lands next to existing development. 2, a. Planning Department comments and recommendations: Comments: The applicant is requesting annexation to the City of Arroyo Grande and the South County Sanitation District. The application submitted for this proposed annexation indicates ~that the applicant is initiating the request for the following reasons: 1. Tt is within the city's sphere of influence and the county's IIRL. 2. The area is surrounded on three sides by the ciity lirnits and so any deveiopment of the property will impact direcfly on city residents adjacent to the property. Furthermore, the annexation could be viewed as a filling . in of the city boundaries. 3. The city can provide urban level services to the site, some of which are aiready provided by the city, including water, sewer, police and fire. 4. The vacant portions of the site should be developed consistent with the city's general plan because access to the site is through the city, via 7ames Way and Canyon Way. 5. Groundwater is available on the property and a recently compleied well would be made available to the city's system in order to supplement existing weil suppiies. LAFeo Referral ~ Augu'st 27, 1995 Pag~ 5 ' 6. Community sewer systems are a preferable sewage disposal method over individual septic tanks. A sewer system is available throuDh the city, however, development in the county would use individual septic systems. 7. If the property were developed within the county, traffic fees would be collected by the county. If the property were developed within the city, traffic fees would be collected by the eity where the majority of the traffic impacts would occur from developmen~ 8. The area is within the city's watershed, and drains either to Canyon Way or James Way, both of which are in the city. With proper engineering, the property could be developed in such a way that current peak flows down Canyon Way are retained on-site and all impacts mitiaated. 9. The city's Parks and Recreation Element shows a trail extending into the F:o~::}~. Development of the property in the city would allow for the acquisition o~ the tiail by the city. Annexation of the site so that the fuil range of community services can be provided by the city is corisistent with county general plan policies on public services. This is because th site is within the Arroyo Grande URL and designated Residential Suburban w}iich allows parcel sizes as small as 1 acre dependent on urban services. Also, the orientation of the site being surrounded on three sides by the existing city Iimits would make it a logical extension of the city limits consistent with the pohcies on promoting in-fill and compact development. Recommendation: It is recommended that this annexation be approved because it is consistent with adopted county general plan policies and because the city is in the best position to provide the needed level of services for existing and expanded development of the site. , b.

Annexation is a term used to describe the attachment or addition of territory to a city or special district. An annexation results in a change to a political boundary line between a city and a county. Annexation may affect the level and responsibility for certain public services being provided to residents, business owners, and property owners within the affected territory. In California, the annexation of territory to a city o~ distcict is governed by the State Government Cade. These state laws were established "to encourage orderiy community growth and development which is essential to the sociai, fiscal, and economic wel!-being of the state". These state laws also establish special boards to review and approve all annexation proposais within each of Caiifornia's 58 counties. Thes~ special boards are called "local agency formation commissions" or LAFCOs. In our county, the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission must review and authorize all annexations. Why wouid Arroyo Grande agree to a request to annex territory? Essentially, the motive is simiiar to the basic purpose of these state laws: to encourage and ensure that Arroyo Grande's growth in all areas of our community will be orderly and weil-planned, thereby enhancing Arroyo Grande's social, fiscal, and economic well-being. What is the benefit in annexing to the City of Arroyo Grande? The motive or desire to annex to any city or district varies from individual to individuai. Generally speaking, when a property owner requests annexation it is motivated by a desire to obtain~city services. In most cases, services cannot be pravided uniess the property owner is within the city limits. To others a benefit is the ability to vote in local e(ections, run for {ocal office, and have a greater vaice in the local land use decisions about property surrounding their land. Annexation and avaiiability of city utility services may also increase the value of existing-deveioped properties by increasing their future development potential. While some property owners may have no desire to develop their property further, the avaiiabiiity of urban services is stiil generally a benefit. These services, when and if they are desired, give a property owner greater options on how his or her land may be used in the future. Some owners of existing businesses or residences may also be motivated by the incressed safety and shortened response time from emergency service personnel inciuding palice and fire fighters available from an adjacent city, versus a rural volunteer fire company o~ a county law enforcement agency. Many property owners may find their fire insura~ce rates drop as their property is annexed to a city with an enhanced insuranc~ rating factor as determined by the Insurance Service Offices (ISO1, a national rating company. IArroyo G~ande residents enjoy a Class 5/SO insurance rating) ` Why is my property inciuded in the territory proposed for annexation? Your prooertv is not being sinaied out for annexation! State Law requires that any annexation proposal be "logicai" in its arrangement. In otfief words, if your property is situated next to other property proposed for annexation, it may be logical to include your property in that annexation apptication. Annexation proposals must make sense by allowing for an efficient and cost effective method of providing locai government services. State law does not ailow for "teap frog" development or the sicipping of certain properties in order to respond to individuai requests. Instead, it says that proposals should incfude contiguous lots or properties that create a logical territory of land that provide for an efficient plan of service delivery. What will happen to my property if it is annexed into the City of Arroyo Grande? Most people find little effect on the day-to-day activities occurring on their property following annexation to a city. Essentially, the existing activities and uses taking place on your land when it is annexed stay the same and are allowed to continue untii vou decide to make a change. You are protected by provisions within the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, which allow you to continue existing uses, even if other properties around yours change and develop. In other ways, annexation will result in important changes in regards to the responsibility of the City to respond to emergency police and fire suppression service calls you may someday have to make. Wiil I be required to cannect to city utiiities if my p~operty is annexed? The answer is NO. Annexation to the city does not require forced connection ta any city utiiities that may be instailed in your area. That choice is left to each individual orooertv owner The use of any existing private water wells and private septic disposal systems continues witfi ~o restrictions, subject to compliance with normai health and safety laws. If a private system faiis sometime in the future, and city utilities are available, you may be required to conneci at that time. Given the cost of instafling a new well or septic system, this often provides a beneficial optian to the property owner. Like all cities in California, the City of Arroyo Grande does have mandatory ~efuse collection, which may affect your existing garbage collection rate. Won't my taxes increase if my property is annexed? Generally No. There are no speciat city taxes associated with annexations. In the state of California, the local property tax is set by the State Constitution at the rate of one peresnt (1 of the assessed valuation of your property (a result of Proposition 131. Your property tax rate is not affected by a"change in territory or boundaries" and, by law, cannot be reassessed solely because of annexation. Once your property is in the City, you wii! be subject to any future bonded indebtedness that the citizens of the community choose to piace on themselves. Reassessments, or ct~anges to your property tax, are generally allowed only upon the sale or deveiopment of tfie property. This wouid apply wfiether or not the property is in the city. Can ! keep my farm animals? The answer is YES. If you have a use of land or activity that is leaailv in existence at the time of annexation, it may continue following annexation. This continuation of all existing uses and activities is ailowed regardless of the zoning of your property or p~operties adjoining yours. Hawever, afte~ the property has been annexed to the City, any non-conforming use that undergoes a substantial change in character or intensity may be required to meet current city laws. If you cease the use of the praperty for tfie keeping of farm animals for a period of time which exceeds 180 days, and the property is not zoned fo~ agricultural uses, you may loose this right. What does the City gain by annexation? The City gains a more cohesive, well-planned community with the abi(ity to provide city services with increased efficiency to those who desire them. We want to make sure utility service extensions and future improvements take place in a cost-effective and timely manner. Emergency service personne! will be able to respond readily without having to worry about inter-jurisdictional problems or liability, thereby increasing the community's level of security and safety. What happens once the annexation process starts? In order for LAFCO to consider an annexation request, the A~rroyo Grande City Councii must first approve the request. Typically, the property wiil be "prezoned" by the Council before the annexation request is submitted to the County LAFCO. Prezoning identifies the zoning district that wiil be applied to each property, if the territory is ultimately annexed to Arroya Grande. You wiil be noticed of all public hearings co~cerning annexation requests. We encourage you to attend these hearings. SUMMARY This information has been prepared in hopes that it wiil answer questions you may have regarding "annexation," and how you and your property may be affected. Members of City staff would be pleased to answer further questions and provide any information we can concerning this process. Just give us a call.

ATTACHMENT 11 CITiZEN CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR DtSTRlBUTION TO TNE PLANNtNG COMMISSION C(ty of Arrcyc ~="a~~de March 25,1999 6ommut~ity Development Dept. 1Vtr. 7im Hamilton, AICP ~R 2 5 1999 Director of Community Development P. O. Box 5~~0 Arroyo Grande, CA 93421 Dear Mr. Hamilton_ from Wiliiam E. Daniel, 741 Printz Road In regard to the proposed 7ames Way Anne:cation (Village Glen Annexation), Tract 2265. I have looked at the new proposed site plan as shown on their map dated February 25,1999. I feel they ha.ve taken some steps to overcome my objecrions to their development as they originally proposed it, but I would Iike to see the developer change their new proposed plot plan to encompass the following. Combine lots number 40 and 41, creating a lot of I.06 ac in size. Combine lots number 42, 43, 44 and 45, and realign the proposed property Iine between lots 43 and 44 creating two lots, one of 1.00 ac and one of .88 ac. Combine lots 46 and 47, creating a lot of .81 ac. Combine lots 48, 49 and ~0, and realign the proposed property line between lots 49 and 50 creating two lots, one of 1.00 ac and one of .45 ac. This results in a loss of ~ lots, leaving a total of 54 lots for the project Two additional lots could be obtained by reintroducing the two lots that were removed between to.ts I and 58. This would provide the developer with 56 lots. While this does nat create lots of 1.00 ac in size, which I would like to see, I fe~I that it mig~t be a soiution and more in keeping with the general plan. Anotlier benefit would be the reduced impact on our overcrowded schools due to fewer families living in the area and less need of additional facilities to service these new families. Eliminate the fire access road easement through Iots 43 and 44 and a portion of lot 42. This proposed access road is totally impractical due to the location af the two homes on Easy Street that abut the deveiopment. Create a new fire access road easement through lots 36 and 37, to be accessed from Rodeo Drive, as noted on the tract map as "possible future road alignment". - Please keep in mind the restricrion of tiee removai to preserve the oaks that are in the proposed development, as has been done in the "Rancho Grande" and "Hig~lands" development. Also the eucaiyptus trees that are in the proposed development offer refuge and nesting sites for a family of ha~vics that need aur protection. I assume that the cost of any water treatment for the development would be bome by the taxpayers. Could we possibly aet a little help from the developers for these costs? Would it be possible to look into the Grace Way extension as a means of reducing the traffic impact on Rodeo Drive, and can we possibly obtain some help for the costs for this extension from the developers. Now with all these suggestions, here is a little "pat on the back" for all the members of the Planning Commission for the careful planning that has been done on Rancho Grande and The I~ighlands. These two deveiopments are in keeping with the surrounding areas and are a credit to the community. Thank you. Respectfully yours, William E. Daniel 741 Printz Road Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 Jan. I999 Dear Arroyo Plannin~ Commission: Sandy Luben Del Haney Nanci Parker Laurence Green John Keen We are writing to make t~own our fee4ings conceming the V'~Ilage C~ea development. We would like to see tt~e project be~in as soon as gos~bie. We have Eived in Arroyo Grande for oves 18 ye~ars and have been ferverniy searching to no avail for a new residence since last Octo6er when we sold our home. There is a definate shortage of new quaiity constcuctioa in Arroyo {'nande. This situaxion has caused home prices in this area to become over in$ated. We wouid Iove to stay in Arroyo Grande for the children's stability in school and with friends, but we're now considering Avila and San Luis. We attended the Jan. Sth meeting and it appeared the public was misinfarmed oa certain aspects of the project. For esamoie, someone referred to the project as low cost housing Our price range is ~375,000 -~90,Q00 and V'illa.ge Glen meets aiI the criteria we are desperately searc~ing for. I hope the Comission realizes sooner or later this land w~1I be deve~oped. It serms it would be in the best urterest of the area that nice homes with curb appeal and caz'e to elevation be put in instead of cra.cker bax rubber stamp houses l~ce the I~iands. Water and oraffic was a conc..-rn at the meeting. I was informed a new street between Rodeo and Rancho Parkway would e~eviate some of the tr~ffic. Why is tr~tmeat of water a concem and a burden on taxpayers? What happens when other develapments are approved. - :~bout 12 years ago we purc~ased a Iot in SLO to build our dream ~o~e. The bulding moraxorium was enacted shortty thereafter, and we were never able to build on this lot because it was cansidered to be in a sensitive resource area. We Just said the Iot at I13 of what we paid and the County Planning and Build"uug De~t (not the saiue peopie who held the job when we gurchased) have done away with ail restrictions on the lat and a new house is ,oin~ ug. The Commission needs to consider that ~owth is inevitable and rather than delay the process which may hurt some people, please exercise common sense when maldng decisions concerning peoples futures and homes_ Consider Rancho Grande, the project is on its third developers; Richardson and S~eher_ In she past, bu~ding sites were held up forever, and that's the reason we purchased the Iot in San Luis. Past rancho Grande dev~opers fouu,ht endless ciry restrictions such as preseiving oaks, but Iook at the current desecration of land on James Way and Rancho Parkway, ev~ aft~' all the delays and wasteri time. ; ,.i~~~~ ~'I~ ~ ~ ~ ~ . 3 ~ ~ Ted & ~e Halmb~k 1001 Stevenson Dr. ~ :~royo Grande, Ca. 93420 City ac A~Ya ~rande Cornrtunity Oevetapment Dept_ FEB ~ 6 t99g . : Eeb~uary._Zb, 1999 . ~ . . ~ , City of Arroyo Grande Piannin~ Commission 21=~ East Branch Street Ar oyo Grande, CA 934?0 Subje~t: Village Glen Annexation EIEt Dear Commissioners: On January ~,1999, the Plannin; Commission heid a gubiic mer~n? to discuss the Drat't EIR for the Villa7e Glen Annesation.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - None WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS 1. Letter dated March 29, 1999 from Eugene L. Nooker regarding the James Way Annexation and EIR (Village Glen Annexation). PUBLIC HEARING - JAMES WAY ANNEXATIONNILLAGE GLEN ANNEXATION/TRACT 2265; GENERAL PtAN AMENDMENT 97-004; DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 97-009; APPLICANT: GARY YOUNG AND ASSOCfATES. Chair Greene advised there are three issues pending before the Commission tonight. The first issue pertains to the Environmental Impact Report, which has been prepared and circulated. The action requested is relative to a request that the Planning Commission make a recommendation to the City Council in rega~d to certification of the E1R. Other issues relate to a request that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that they adopt in whole or in part, General Plan Amendment 97-004 and Development Code Amendment 97-009. He noted that these are separate yet related issues that will be discussed in sequence in order to preserve some continuity in the discussions. Planning Consukant Tom Buford reviewed in detaii the staff report dated March 30, 1999. He reviewed the applicant's request, which includes several actions. The Environmental Impact Report was prepared in regard to the proposed annexation and the development of proposed Tract 2265. Before the Planning Commission is a recommendation to the Council with regard to certification of the EIR. The applicant has also requested General Plan Amendment 97-004 and Development Code Amendment 97-009, with the effect of pre-zoning the property. In addition, matters not before the Commission tonight are recommendations with regard to vesting Tentative Map Tract 2265 and Planned Unit Development 97-56, which are subdivisions of app~oximately 64 acres of the site that would create residential {ots and one open space lot. The Planned Unit Development is for the purpose of allowing clustering of the homes and, in effect, creating tots less than one acre in size. Mr. Buford explained that part af what the Commission is dealing with this evening has to do with the annexation process, noting that when property is outside of the City it is not the City's p~e~ogative to actually take action on the annexation. That is the role of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for San Luis Obispo County and, in this case, they would be called upon by the applicant (assuming favorabie action by the City1 to modify the sphere of service and to annex the p~operty. Bringing the property into the City allows the City to Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 2 of 19 provide water, sewer and other services to the site. He pointed out that the City's actions at this point in time, basically, involve pre-zoning and the General Plan Amendment, and the LAFCo action. The applicant is asking the City to indicate its intention to zone the 86.3 acre annexation area in a particular way because the applicant is proposing subdivision of the property, which depends upon receiving a particula~ zoning once that property is brought into the City. The LAFCo action would basically be approval of the annexation and, following that action, the applicant would be proposing a vesting tentative tract map which would call for actual devetopment of the parcel. At the time the tentative tract map is b~ought forward for action before the Planning Commission and City Council, appropriate conditions of approval would be required. Mr. Buford commented that the Environmental Impact Report included each of the actions that was requested by the applicant, and if the Planning Commission recommends certification of the ElR and the City Council certifies the EIR, the conclusion then would be that the EIR produced information that was accurate and sufficient to advise the decision making body as to the e~vironmental impact of the p~oposed project, which includes tentative tract map 2265. He noted that tentative tract 2265 has been revised due largeiy to discussions the applicant has had with staff, the Staff Advisory Committee and the environmental hearings. It is also conceivable that tract 2265 may never be developed~as proposed even if it were eventually adopted by the City Council. However, it is a guide at this point as to the applicanYs stated intentions with regard to that portion of the property. With regard to earlier discussions regarding a possible Printz Road access, Mr. Buford stated as far as he knows only negative comments have been received about that possibility and the applicant is not interested in pursuing any proposal for Printz Road access into Tract 2265. He noted that there is a proposed access area th~ough Lot 44 for fire safety purposes that is included as a result of a request and recommendation by the Fire Department. Mr. Buford mentioned a couple of issue areas, commenting that there has been a significant amount of discussion regarding water resources; the standard in the General Plan as set forth in the staff report states basically that there be no impact on water resources due to annexation. The water demand for the project is estimated at 53 acre-feet per year; the applicant has proposed satisfying the water demand by bringing on line and dedicating to the City the Deer Trail well. He stated that the well would draw from the same aquifer as the existing City Oak Park Well, and it is noted in the EIR that the water quality from the Oak Park Well is not goad and it is likely that the water from the Deer Traii well would have been treated at the well head. There are also some questions that are raised in the EIR with regard to the policy of taking on line a well that has relatively low production and has relatively higher cost than higher production wells, and whether that, in fact, satisfies the intention of the General Plan. Another significant issue is the matter of traffic. Mr. Buford advised that the Environmental Impact Report relied on a traffic study that was conducted with ~egard to anticipated traffic from the site. He pointed out that the standard in the City is that intersections should remain at a minimum of a Level of Service C, and that a Level of Service D is acceptable only if traffic improvements are identified that would improve the intersection to Level of Service C when completed. He referred to the table in the EIR stating that basically the conclusions drawn were that the project when added to the existing projects did not create a significant impact because Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 3 of 19 it did not lower any intersection below a C Level of Service. However, at base line, it is noted that the Brisco Road/West Branch Street/US 101 northbound ramp wouid operate at a D Level of Service. When the project is added to the base line, basically, there are two intersections where a slight increase occurs in the delay but there is no reduction in the Level of Service. The conclusion based on the City's threshold is that the traffic from the project would not cause a significant environmental impact and would not violate the policies of the City of Arroyo Grande. The note in the EIR with regard to the Brisco Road/Halcyon Road/US 101 interchange is that the City is completing a study or analysis with regard to alte~natives for that intersection and with implementation of any of the three long term measures proposed, the baseline Traffic would improve to Level of Service A or C depending on the alternative. Mr. Buford stated that the parcel to be annexed of 86.3 acres is not a level parcel and has a significant topography. He referred to the table taken from the Development Code to illustrate the manner in which the Development Code approaches parcels that have significant slopes, stating that staff believes the intention is evident that on a parcel such as this where there are areas of significant slopes they would be designated as open space. This tabie indicates slopes 25 % and up, there wiil not be building and grading on those sites, and if those parcels were to be subdivided they would be intended for open space to be owned by a Homeowners' Association. He stated in looking at the parcels that have been created, staff betieves they are consistent with the Development Code. He commented that even though Tract 2265 is ~ot before the Planning Commission fo~ recommendation at this time, it is felt it makes sense to be sure that the proposal by the applicant is realistic in terms of the City's General Plan and Developme~t Code, and it is staf#'s opinion that it is. Mr. Buford advised that staff is recommending the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council certify the EiR, and recommend that the General Plan be amended to designate the project site as Rural Residential, and that the City's zoning map be amended to p~e-zone the project site as Rural Residential. In response to Commissioner Costello's question regarding method of funding for additional police and fire personnel as a result of the project, Community Development Director Hamilton explained the funding would be based on an incremental increase that would have to be allocated and/or addressed through the budget process. Commissione~ Costello also questioned Impacts B 1 and B2, storm water runoff, and inquired if the estimate of 2.1-acre-feet proved to be inadequate, where would the additional funds come from. Mr. Buford noted that the fiscal impact analysis has identified a certain source of revenue from new development and the rest would fall in the present manner in which the City is financing those services, and there are a variety of avenues for the City to address those. However, once the tract is approved, you don't go back and impose conditions again on that tract. Commissioner Costeilo stated he has some serious concerns regarding the wate~ quaGty of the Deer Trail well, and the language in the EIR seems to be couched with "hedging the bet". He commented it isn't dear what the quality or quantity is going to be, or what the net impact will be on the existing wells or impacts from other projects that might tap into the existing aquifer Mr. Hamilton explained that the mitigation measure is attempting to put in place a monitoring process to insure that the water quality is adequate and to determine whether or not additional Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 4 of 19 measures need to be taken to insure that. Commissioner Parker referred to a previous comment regarding provisions that could be taken to keep the 33-1 /2 acre lot from being developed at a later time, and inquired about the deeding process. Mr. Hamilton advised that an easement would be placed on the property and would be a legally described part of the title of the property and is a condition of approval of the tract map. Removal of the easement would requi~e the approval of the City Councii. In other words, it would be a privately owned parcel of property with an easement and, in essence, that easement would stipuiate there be no development within that property, and to change that easement to something else or to remove it would require approval of the City Council. Commissioner Parker expressed concerns regarding water quality and costs related to treating the water and the effect the Deer Creek well would have on the Oak Park well. She commented that if the study shows that because of costs, condition of the water, and the drop in the Oak Park weil, it really does not support the building of 56 homes but perhaps would support 30 homes, she questioned if that information would be given to the Commission before or during the project review? Mr. Buford advised that the mitigation measure require that information all be determined prior to any grading or construction occurring on the property and prior to any subdivision map approval. He siated the map condition requires that these matters be resolved to the satisfaction of the City prior to any approvals being granted that would result in modifications of the property or the project. Commissioner Parker referred to the information in the staff report indicating that the water demand for the project is 53 acxe-feet a year, and inquired if that figure takes into consideration the summer mo~ths where the water needs may increase? Mr. Buford advised the figure is based on the City's procedures for determini~g water demand and the EIR consultant's review of that information. Commissioner Keen referred to Page 11 of the staff report relating to the mitigation measures requiring development costs and ongoing services to be funded by the project applicants or future residents, and inquired if the City has a mechanism that could charge a subdivision a different water rate than the rest of the City to recover treatment costs? Mr. Buford stated he is not aware of such a mechanism. Afte~ further discussion between the Planning Commission and staff, Chair Gresn apened the public hearing and invited the applicant and his representatives to speak first. David Foate Firma. 849 Monterev Street, responded to Commissioners' questions du~ing the foregoing discussion. With regard to the question regarding the Pismo Clarkia, Mr. Foote advised that a botanical survey was conducted in the spring, the time the Clarkia would normally be present, and none was found. The Department of Fish and Game felt that due to the nature of the species, it can be abundant some years and almost non-existent others, so they requested that another survey be done before any dirt is moved out the~e, which is a normal procedure. . Regarding the question of the increase to Tally Ho Creek with the 50 cubic feet per second, Mr. Foote stated it is his unde~standing that it is impossible to calculate the level of increase; it is Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 5 of 19 negligible in a channel of its relative narrow width, and if there is no increase, the width increase would also be very little. He explained the ~eason width is referenced is that usually flood levels are the key thing and not the width itself. With regard to the timing of the interchange, Mr. Foote pointed out that if design studies are under way, the Level of Service D that is forecast for that intersection, until that interchange is improved, that LOS D would only be a result of buildout ot all of the cumulative project list, which includes a full buildout of Los Robles Del Mar and all of the projects within the City, some of which have not even been approved yet. He commented that the buildout of that list is some number of years in the future, and the process to get the interchange designed and built is also a number of years. Whether or not they will coincide nicely is somewhat speculative. In response to Commissioner Parker's questio~ regarding the collector status on Rodeo Drive, M~. Foote referred to response to comment 15.1, and the answer is it is both a collecto~ street and a local street depending on which end you are standing on. From Mercedes Drive west it is built to a collecto~ width per the Circulation Element standard for a Collector Street; the area eastward of Mercedes to James Way is built to a Locai Street standard and the volumes that it is currently carrying are within Level of Service C or better for those widths. Mr. Foote stated that the water forecast of acre-feet per year is an average over the whole year so it does take into account peak periods as well as low periods. With regard to Commissioner Costello's question as to what could be approved in the County, Mr. Foote referred to Section 2, Page 2, for a synopsis of the County code standards and the criteria that would have to be met to do a cluster development on that site, the amount of water that is avaiiabfe there now and the number of homes that it couid sustain are about 50. He noted it is unknown what the septic capability is for that property and it may constrain that number lower; the realm of 40 to 60 is probably something that could be p~oposed to the County under their cade without asking for a variance. Mr. Foote also ciarified that if the Planning Commission were to approve a pre-zoning that is more intense, he is not sure that this E1R would cover it; this EIR covers a certain project density and, therefore, that would need to be thought through carefully. Also, regarding the question posed by Commissioner London relative to the situation of the Los Robles well, Mr. Foote pointed out that the EIR states that the City of Pismo Beach has no intention of using the wells at Los Robles Del Mar and that project would be receiving water from their State water allocation and, to the best of his knowledge, the wells that the City of Pismo Beach uses currently a~e actually located in Grover Beach. He noted they currently have surplus for their General Plan buildout and, in his opinion, it doesn't appear imminent that those wells are to go on line; they certainly could in the future, however, that is not thei~ plan. In answer to Commissione~ Parker's question regarding effect of water avaiiability and the water quality from the well during peak periods, Mr. Foote stated it is his understanding that the deep aquifer at 900 feet does not have a lot of seasonal fluctuation. Mr. Foote further advised it is his understanding that there is a well currently on the property and it has been analyzed by Cleath Associates and the report indicates about 50 residences couid be served under a mutual water company formed within the County. He pointed out that the report was Arroyo Grande Pianning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 6 of 19 actually prepared for another property owner. He stated water doesn't seem to be a constraint in the County, but septic might be. Mr. Foote advised that the open space lot is 33 acres, which is less than the overall annexation area but is less than half of the tract. In response to Commissioner Parker's question relative to responsibiiity of the cost of water treatment assuming the proposed Deer Trail well requires some type of well head treatment, Senior Consultant Engineer Craig Campbell explained the two components of cost with a treatment facility, which is a filtration facility at the well head. One is the construction cost, which would be the applicant's expense. There is also an ongoing maintenance expense, including treatment, which would be the City's expense. Dan Llovd. EDA, 1320 Nioomo Street, representing the applicant, spoke regarding the comparisons of the project if developed in the City or County. He stated the applicant is required by the County to exhaust their opportunity for annexation by the City, therefore, the project is being brought to the City first because that is the logical sequence. The property is adjacent to the City, is a logical infill on the edge~of the City and is surrounded on three sides by the City. If for some reason the City is not prepared to take that step toward annexation, then the applicant will go to the County. Mr. Uoyd stated, in his opinion, the annexation is appropriate from a revenue standpoint and from a control standpoint. The idea of clustering is allowed by the ordinance and is a very good planning tool because it provides better use of the resource of the land, putting development where it should go and leaving the open space which should remain open. He presented a brief comparison of this project to other projects in the City of similar nature, such as Oak Park Acres, 250 acres with 251 units (1 unit to the acre); the Rancho Grande project of 82 acres with 83 units (1 unit to the acre), and the Royal Oaks project of 151 acres with 233 units (1-1/2 units to the acre). The proposed annexation of Viilage Glen has a proposed density of 59 units and is .9 units to the acre. With regard to development in the County, Mr. Lloyd stated that one unit per gross acre could result in 64 units, which would require development of an on-site water company and a community disposal field. The community disposal field would be regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. They have a minimum requirement for about 50 units for a community septic system, and that system would be located on the more northerly portion of the site where the soils and slopes are appropriate. Mr. Lloyd answered some of the questions raised previously. He stated, with regard to drainage, a detention basin is proposed on site that will limit flow down to Tally Ho Creek in its existing water course, in fact, it will reduce water going into that water course by spreading that water over time. He noted that is an improvement and betterment and with respect to capacity, it would need to meet all of the standards that are set by the City, and could actually exceed that crite~ia if deemed necessary and warranted. . With regard to water quality and wate~ quantity, Mr. Lloyd advised that in order to bring a water supply into the City, the applicant would have to address wate~ quality and quantity. Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 7 of 19 As far as quality, he advised that generally speaking, that water is treatable to a standard that wouid be usable, and the City could actually identify those costs associated with treatment and apportion a flat fee of those costs against those residents' water bills. With respect to grading and landform, Mr. Uoyd commented that the first plan did show maximum usage of the parcels and create the biggest usable area. However, in the redesign, they were able to show they can actually reduce the slope adjacent to James Way, contour it and create a more natural looking sloped bank with landscaping, boulders, etc. He noted that trails are proposed at the request of the City, however, there are none within the site at this time so the actual final location would be determined in consultation with the Parks and Recreation Director. M~. Lloyd stated his feeling that the most important thing as far as he has seen is that the level of review and analysis that has been conducted by Firma on behalf of the City is thorough, comprehensive and answers the questions. He stated there are no impacts that cannot be mitigated, the density is appropriate and is in keeping with the residential de~sity existing within the area. With respect to the General Plan Amendment, in his opinion, it is appropriate to bring this property into the City, and he feels it is app~opriate to look at the one unit per gross acre density and is consistent with the ordinance and with County standa~ds. He further stated he feels the City is in a position to have a better project by having it developed within the City. Snencer Harris. 1390 Oceanaire D~.. San Luis Obisno. stated he is a registered geologist in California and representing Cleath and Associates as a hydro geological consultant. Mr. Harris responded to Commissioner Parker's question regarding water resources noting that the deep aquifer within the Pismo formation is not directly hydraulically connected with the Arroyo Grande Valley and the groundwater basin that underlies that portion of the City of A~royo Grande and the adjacent cities. Therefore, this particular aquifer is not going to impact the water availability of resources within the groundwater basin. The aquifer that is within the Pismo formation is structurally bowl shaped and is relatively deep beneath the site which was selected fo~ the test drilling. If the City decided it wanted to develop this water resource, then a well at this location would be recommended. Chair Greene commented that it appears Mr. Harris' position is that the Deer Trail.well, when operational, is not a redundancy with the Oak Park well. Mr. Harris stated it is not a redundancy and is an additional asset that will provide additional water from this resource. He noted that the Deer Trail well will be tapping this aquifer at a significantly greater depth than the Oak Park well, so it has the capacity to draw from a much greater storage area than the Oak Park well and will tap water that the Oak Park well will not tap. Chair Greene asked for Mr. Harris' opinion regarding the quafity of the water and what sort of treatment will be necessary and what costs would be associated with tfiat treatment Mr. Harris stated his opinion that the water has a prabtem with iron and manganese; these are secondary standards which are not directly health related and relate more to user preference. The rest of the water quality he has seen, based on his review of water quality on the James estate that has the same aquifer is that it is fresh and not too hard and, therefore, he didn't see any major problems with the water quality other than iron and manganese. He further commented that Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 8 of 19 there are many welis throughout the County that are treated for iron and manganese sa, in his opinion, this would not be an overly burdensome problem, but he woufd refer it to the Public Works Department for a cost. Garv Youna. Arrovo Grande. applicant, stated when they originally went out to the other property owners that are joining them in the annexation, they went out at the request of LAFCo, one of thei~ requests was that they be zoned with one acre parcels. Therefore, when the applications were turned in to the City with the concurrence of City staff back in 1996, it was agreed that the zoning come in as one blodc. He commented in defference to the property owners, he would not say that he specifically represents them, but he has met with them and, in his opinion, it would be their desire at this point to have the same zoning being requested and that is the RR1 zoning. Commissioner Parke~ inquired if the applicants had met with the property owners about the emergency access route from the proposed development going straight to the back of Easy Streetl Mr. Young stated there are actually three property owners up o~ the hill and he had met with two of them last evening. Their property backs up to the project boundary where the Fire Chief has asked for the emergency access, and the one owner who really has all of the access on his property is in agreement. He understands the project will be providing him a way for the Fire Department to get there should they not be able to come around the back of the hilL Phil Whitaker. 921 Huasna Road, stated he is in support of this project. He is a general contractor and has lived in the City of Arroyo Grande for 10 years. He stated he has reviewed this project and the Environmental Impact Report, he has walked the project, has been to the Deer Trail well site, has reviewed the models that are being proposed, and he knows the developer. He stated he likes the project and it gives him an opportunity in the future to possibly have a home up o~ that hill. He further stated he likes the idea of clustering, which allows the opportunity for some smaller and some larger homes. He commented he would like to see the Commission recommend this project and agree with City staff that this would be a good project for the future of the City and, in his opinion, it fits well with the idea of providing for future families. He stated he believes it would be wise for the City to control this project instead of the County, and he would like to ses the revenue come into the City. Fred Wendell, stated he had made comments during review of the Draft EIR and the number . of changes he observed in the Final EIR were relatively few compared to the Draft EIR. He stated that because of the number of questions being asked indicates to him that the document has not gone the full measure to provide the Commission with the information needed to determine whether or not this project is in the public's best interest. He further stated the questions he asked during previous reviews of the Draft E1R were not answered, and he would _ have liked to have those answers. One of the points he would like clarified relates ta clustering. He stated there is no modification in the Fnal EIR and he has not seen the tract map so he doesn't know if there are changes there. However, what he saw in the Final EIR still suggests small lots adjacent to larger acre homes and, in his opinion, this will affect property values and will also affect his view. He stated he would like to see larger lot sizes proposed for adjacent properties with larger lot sizes. Mr. Wendell stated he is still concerned about the Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 9 of 19 water issues. He commented his property lies in a direct line between the deep aquifer and where it surfaces, and he is concerned that his well, as well as many other wells within the area, may be deep enough, and if you are drawing a lot of water from deep in the aquifer, is that going to affect his ability to draw his water from his well7 Mr. Wendell stated, from a larger community perspective, he would like to have an answer about the cost of treatment. He noted he does not understand why this cost information is not in the EIR if there is a well that is already producing and drawing water from that aquifer and is being treated; the information is there and should have been incorporated in the Final EIR. Mr. Wendell concluded that he opposes the annexation, as currently structured and as he understands it. The project EIR has not addressed his concerns; and it appears that its goals are the developer's goals at his expense, and he is not sure it is structured to comply with all of the elements qf the General Plan. Also, in his opinion, it exposes the City to unnecessary risks and expe~se with regard to the water issue. Glenn Hoving, 445 Cobre P1ace. stated he is a resident of Arroyo Grande and also works for Century 21 Real Estate. He commented about the compatibility of this particular project, stating from his perspective the project is compatible and makes sense with the homes surrounding this parcel. He stated over the last year and a half he has received numerous questions regarding this project and when it will be completed. Mr. Hoving stated his opinion that this annexation makes sense and he highly recommends the City go after this project rather than have it develop in the County C. Z. Brown, 350 Old Ranch Road. stated he has had the opportunity to review the EIR and Tract 2265. The proposed tract composes 64 acres, which includes five other parcels under various owne~ships, totaling 86.3 acres. The annexation has five existing residences, four of which are not included in Tract 2265. He questioned if this means four more plots should be incfuded and, if so, how big are theyl Are they 22 or more acres? He noted that 86.3 acres plus 22 additional acres equals 108.3 acres, and the EIR speaks of 1 acre plots. He questioned if this means 108.3 potential residences, or is 50°6 of that going to be dedicated ta open space? !n addition, he stated if acres are downsized, this could possibly provide for more homes and especially if they are clustered. He stated he couldn't tell from reading the EIR how many homes would be dustered and how many would be residences. He stated it is difficult to determine the exact number of cluster homes to be developed and others; the EIR talks about 63 units, 904 units and 105 units. He further stated on Page 3-6, Paragraph 6.1, "Consistency Analysis", states over half the tract is to remain as open space. He questioned if this is one half of 64 or one half of 105? Mr. Brown referred to the entrance or exits f~om the project, noting the statement "The 11.5 acre parcel southwest of Tract 2265 would potentially link Rodeo Drive cul-de-sac to the street stub-out within the tract." He stated .that Rodeo Drive already has a traffic problem and he urged that outlet to James Way from the project be moved further north. He stated he noticed from the plot plan on the board that there is a section there not included in the development but within the annexation for access. If that access road could exit on James Way nearer to Rancho Parkway, in his opinion, that would be more appropriate. If it could not exit further to the northwest and it is going to exit onta Rodeo Drive, he suggested an abutment there as it Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 10 of 19 exists on James Way so traffic wouldn't,proceed directly down Rodeo Drive; put a right turn lane only and then going east on James Way, put a left turn lane only so that the traffic going on Rodeo to James Way could not go directly into the project. As a side note, Mr. Brown stated that in reviewing past traffic studies, it might be well to ask our own Traffic Commission to take a more accurate review of what is going on with the cumulative circulation problem within this ~espective area. This would include the Village Glen, the Highlands, the Rodeo Heights project, the Cantrell project, etc. He referred ta Page 3-4, 4"' paragraph, 3rd sentence, stating "The process has led to the creation of many lats, some approaching one acre in size without an adequate road access due to a poorly planned overall circulation system". Mr. Brown stated he agrees with that statement and a more comprehensive approach to planning is needed, not just review of this individual EIR. He also referred to issues of scarring of hillsides due to poor grading practices, inadequate drainage resulting in flooding and siltation of drainage cou~ses. He urged the Commission to take a critical look at these potential problems. With respect to the traffic, he reiterated that perhaps the Traffic Commission could do a comprehensive traffic circulation study that would be helpful to this Commission and to the Council. He noted that on Page III, 13E, under "Known Controversy" it states "No known areas of public or agency controversy." Mr. Brow~ stated he totally disagrees with that statement. There is disagreement on traffic, water, park fees and whe~e the funds are goi~g to be spent, the impact on schools, etc. Under "Alternatives", V, 1 and 2, under C, Paragraph 7, it states "Reduce project to 20 to 50 would avoid or reduce all significant impacts to a level not requiring mitigation for some or all impact areas." He stated, in his opinion, this would seem to be quite appropriate. He mentioned a letter from Larry Allen, Air Pollution Co~trol District, wherein he made several pertinent observations. It states 'District staff does not agree with the air quality analysis and that both short term and long term impacts to air quality could be affected. The project description is unclear as to the maximum number of units." Mr. Brown stated it is still very unclear to him; 81 units if the othe~ 5 units are developed, o~ is it 99? In addition, will the 33.5 residential lots be retained ar further subdivided? He commented he believes Mr. Allen's observations are pertinent and he questioned just how many cluster type units and residential units are to be planned for this particular project7 Kathleen Wendell, 727 Printz Road, stated she and her husband were not notified about this meeting and did not find out about it until Saturday morning. She stated when they went to the library, a copy of the Final EIR was not availabie, however, they were able to obtain a copy and spent a great deal of the weekend reading the document before they had to return it. She stated she was concerned about the fact that the Final E1R and the tract map do not match and is very confusing. She commented, therefore, her ~ecommendation would have to be based on the Finai EIR information. With regard to the weil, she stated it seems if this were developed in the County, they could use this well and it is stated that could support 52 homes, so they could have a community well system and in that way they would be responsible for maintaining the equipment and the treatment of the water, which would all be intemal to the site. One of the issues she wanted to emphasize was relative to comment 19.2 which states "....new deveiopment, and its need to be in an approp~iate density and intensity based upon compatibility with the majority of existing surrounding land uses." She stated the reference Ar~oyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 11 of 19 to "majority of existing surrounding land uses" seems to be pretty cut and d~ied. She noted that adjacent to the north are 2.5 acres to 10 acre parcels, over 2.5 acre parcels adjacent in the west, and going to the east there are two 2.5 acre parcels and two 3.0 acre parcels, and only in the south across a large street behind a fence do you have a more dense environment. It seems if this development were to meet that criteria it would be in the RE 2.5 acre parcel at a minimum. Ms. Wendell stated she too felt there were a lot of questions asked at the last meeting that were not sufficiently answered in the Fnal EIR, such as who would be responsible for treatment to the well, and the possibility of the long term need to do blending. Also, the question about legal conveyance of the well site to the City; whether it would be bought or teased? There were also comments in the draft ElR indicating that the cu~rent planning at the way we would be building out would use our allocated water supply and, therefore, anything additional tfiat would be annexed would have to have their own water. She noted that the area designated for open space a~d the trails is pretty steep. With the foregoing comments, Ms. Wendell stated it is her recommendation that the Planning Commission not recommend this Final EIR be certified by the City Council. Also, in her opinion, it appears that by using the guise of clustering we are not going in conjunction with the surrounding properties, and therefore it seems more appropriate to go with Reside~tial Estate zoning. Carter Hooker, 380 Soanish Moss Lane, spoke regarding the traffic at the B~isco underpass, stating that three lanes is not sufficient now and when Wal Mart and the rest of these tracts are built out, it will be a lot worse. He commented that the Brisco unde~pass has to be widened in the near future and, hopefully, before it gets too crowded. It is a real physical conc~ete bottleneck that needs to be addressed immedia#ely. He further stated he is surprised the City can't come up with any kind of conditions to take care of the additional cost to the City for the Fire and Police, school, buses, etc., and there must be some way to work on that. He noted that the water issue comes up in every City and in every meeting. Also, the sewer issue is one of his main concerns and he inquired if an overall assessment of the sewer requireme~ts has been done, adding up tract by tract and building by building, and is there enough capacity for the treatment? Mr. Hoaker referred to traffic on Rodeo Drive, commenting that it is the straightest shot to the freeway and everybody uses it. He stated addressing these things one at a time doesn't seem to be enough, and he urges using some kind of a score card to literally start keeping track of all of the commitments and keep adding them up because at some point in time. the City is going to have to say "no" to somebody. Mr. Hooker recommended that the City consider the same kinds of questions for the non-tract section as for the tract section; what kind of rules. what kind of limitations and what are the requirements? He noted the City is going to have to maintain alf of their streets and p~ovide City services to them also. Jack Hardv. Grover Beach. stated he is in favor of the project and he feels it has been very well . planned out, makes a lot of sense with the clustering of homes. The plan has a nice design and fits well with the transition of homes on the south side of James Way. He commented, in his opinion, it would be far better for the City to control a project like this than for the County to control it. He noted some of the advantages to the City such as 59 new taxpayers paying Arroyo Grande Pianning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 12 of 19 property tax to the City, in-lieu park fees, and a lot of families spending money in Arroyo Grande. He stated he believes that this is the type of controlled growth that this community needs and urged the Commission to recommend this project to the City Council. Glen D. James, stated his father bought the property up there many years ago and his family has been working with Gary Young over the past three years. He encouraged the Planning Commission to recommend approval of the project to the Council, stating he believes it is an excellent project because it concentrates the development and still leaves a large green area. He commented that some of the other proposals made to them were for rather large rich estates and he hates to see only the rich get housing. Mike Lebow, Canvon Wav, stated he is in favor of more of a no growth policy to keep the hills from growing with homes and keep the integrity of the nature of this area. Doug Dunn. Arrovo Grande, stated he has a piece of property that touches this development. His concerns indude the density and building on that prominent ridge line, and also the water issue. Dick DeBlauw. 774 Alta Vista Wav. stated he has reviewed the plans for the property and the design for the subdivision and, in his opinion, it is a good design for development of the property. He further stated he would prefe~ to see it designed as the plans show than have homes spread out all over that acreage. He noted he has been on a well from that same aquifer for 27 years and it is good water and the water table never seemed to move up or down. He commented, in his opinion, the Commission should think about good planning and seriously recommend taking this property into the City of Arroyo Grande for development ~ather than let go to the County. He urged that the Commission plan for the people rather than plan against the people because popuiation is happening and we need to have places fo~ peop~e to live. Melissa Watkins. Heritage lane. Arrovo Grande. stated her feelings that annexing this property as part of the City is a wise decision because then you do have cont~ol over what is done with the property, and it would be a financially sound decision. She also stated she feeis that the tract project as presented is a good one and that the public expects that parcel of property to be developed and is something that everyone knows is going to happen eventually. She further stated she feels that people will be pleased to see a smaller project like the one across James Way instead of the larger estate lots, and she hopes the Commission will recommend approvai of the annexation to the City Council. Sara Ann Ma~shall. 203 Montecito Ave.. Shell Beach. stated she is in favor of the project. She noted one of the pros for her would be the fact that there are 4 bedroom homes at affordable prices and the lots are larger and have more room for childre~ to play. Bob Harris. Cleath and Associates, addressed various comments regarding the fact that there are wells along James Way that would probably tap this aquifer and it is the applicant's intent to be attentive to those. He noted that Cleath and Associates' position on water avai(ability is that water for a property for development should be sustainable by the property, and generally speaking, the more property you have overiying an aquifer the more right you have Arroyo Grande Planning Com~ssion March 30, 1999 Page 13 of 19 to pump that water. Therefo~e, when Cleath & Associates looked at the recharge that is available for the property itself, it was feh there was a constraint on that recharge and informed the applicant of that, noting that this is the amount of water we would credit that property as being able to sustain. Beyond that you wauld be pulli~g water from outside of the property and thereby potentially impacting adjacent wells. Mr. Harris noted that their analysis is based on well interference and recharge, and the well interference has been analyzed conservatively and presented in the EIR, as well as recharge. When the well is drilled and tested, then a final analysis will be presented of the impacts. ~an Llovd. EDA, stated their position this evening is to make sure the Commissio~ers' questions are answered. With regard to water, he noted that the proposed well site is going to provide water in excess of the project's needs and, therefore, there will be more water avaitable to the City than will be utilized by this property. Also, this well will provide water for the additional parcels within the annexation area, and the sewer needs wiil be met. With regard to the density issue raised, Mr. Uoyd stated he doesn't believe there is an issue regarding density; one unit to the acre for the entire annexation area is not a problem. Chair G~eene spoke regarding the traffic that would be generated by this project on Rodeo Drive, stating that the issue of traffic on Rodeo Drive has been a very contentious and troublesome problem for the City since the street opened a decade ago. According to the data that was provided from a 1997 study, the street carries 2300 vehide trips per day to Branch. He stated, according to the conclusion by Mr. Foote, 300 vehicle trips per day is not a significant environmental impact, howeve~, it is agreed that it is a significant impact for the individuals who live in that community. He asked if there are any alternatives to mitigating the traffic problems available to the applicant? Mr. Uoyd stated, in his opinion, there are a lot of good suggestions that have been mentioned and it was his feeling that some good options could be looked at with the Traffic Commission. Mr. Lloyd stated that the timing seems to be right because there is a little time between now and the time when this project comes back to the Commission, and there could probably be three or four meetings with the Traffic Commission. One option could perhaps include the support of a consultant to dea( with traffic calming suggestions and look at it in an aggregate way, and actually come up with some mitigation measures that the applicant could help fund and perhaps identify a mitigation program that could be adopted by the City. Chair Gree~e suggested that a mitigatio~ measure be added in the EIR directing the applicant to engage in and work with community resources such as the Traffic Commission, Department of Public Wo~ks, and citizens who represent the community in that area in coming up with a proposal or a plan to either calm traffic on the street or to help fund an alternative route that might alleviate some of the traffic. Mr. Uoyd indicated their willingness to participate in a joint discussion and solution to the traffic issue. Chair Greene asked if Mr. Lloyd and the applicant have given any thought to endeavoring to work with the adjacent property owner and developer of Tract 1834 to provide an outlet for the subject development through Tract 1834 instead of running the road that is proposed to go through the existing James residence and maybe drawing it a little bit to the west and providing an access through that parcel. An opportunity could be offered to that individual to develop a secondary emergency access, which could be a benefit to both subdivisions to have access to an east/west corrido~ th~ough what is now the Arroyo Grande Pl~ning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 14 of 19 11 acre James property. M~. Uoyd indicated their willingness to discuss various options. Mr. Young, applicant, inquired if the reference to additional mitigation measures that are not contained on his property, references funding something that is not on his property? Chair Greene advised when this project was before the Commissio~ previously, one of the Commissioners recommended that the~e be some sort of complimentary agreement that would enable the current proposal to be considered tempering this effort to reduce traffic through the neighborhood that seems to be most impacted by this proposal. Mr. Young pointed out that his project needs to take care of his needs and to start talking about "fundi~g" on another pe~son's project is getting out of the purview of his responsibility at this point, especially when talking about a private developer with a private project. He noted he woutd certainly not want to link his p~oject to Grace Lane, however, he would jointly wo~k with .the community for the betterment of the community to solve traffic issues. Mr. Young stated that the issues before the Commission tonight are the issues of recommending to the City Council to approve annexing the p~operty, recommend to the City Council to have the Gene~al Pla~ Amendment show the pre-zoning and recommend the pre- zoning, and he encouraged the Commission to vote tonight. Hearing no additional comments from the audience, Chair Greene closed the public hea~ing. Commissioner London stated that his questions have pretty much been answered and the project seems to fall within all of the requirements of the General Plan and Development Code. Commissioner Costello stated his biggest concem about the proje~t revolves around the water issues and, in his opinion, we won't have answers on the water until a well is actually drilled and testing is done. Inasmuch as the final approval of the tract map is continge~t upon those wells being examined, he feeis that is an issue that is going to be resolved down the line. In terms of some of the mitigation issues, the structure we have to deal with in the City such as public safety issues doesn't give any latitude, because there is no language that exists that says we are going to need an additional officer and we are going to fund it; that is going to happen after the fact. He stated he has a problem with full mitigation for schools, and he understands it is beyond the purview of this EIR to solve this particular p~oblem. Density needs to be dealt with and, as pointed out by staff, when the project comes back, we have the flexibility to work with the project in terms of how we go about reaching the consistency. There are a lot of issues he needs to think about and that will need to be dealt with, but he believes the document does meet the minimum and does answer some of the questions. In principal, the annexation is a logical extension of the City's boundaries and does fit into the City of Arroyo Grande and probably should be annexed. The question remains; what is the best way to do that and what is the best project to put in therel Commissioner Parke~ stated she believes in the cluste~ing type of density, and that this project conforms with the statement in the General Plan that when you put in a p~oject, it needs to conform to the surrounding la~ds and, in her opinion, this one does. The reason she fikes the clustering of homes here is because it leaves the lands she believes to be an environmental issue. The land in the culvert and the land that is surrounded by all of the Oak trees need to Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 15 of 19 be preserved. She aiso believes that annexation needs to be addressed in the General Plan, and because this site is already surrounded on three sides by the City and is within the City's sphere, it doesn't represent an urban buildout, rather it feels like we are filling in the hole, and seems like a natural acceptable annexatio~ that doesn't sprawl us out in one direction or another. She also stated whether or not this p~oject is built, Rodeo Drive needs to be addressed and, in her opi~ion, Rodeo is not necessarily a problem because of this project, but Rodeo has a p~oblem despite this project. Commissioner Pa~ker referred to an Oak Grove area of six to eight Oak trees that is designated to be removed and suggested this area be looked at when the project comes back to the Commission to see if anything can be dane to preserve the rural character even further and contain that Oak grove and not remove it. Also, she stated she believes that a community based sewe~ system that the City could p~ovide to this area would be much more preferable to the area than having either individual septic systems or community septic systems. With regard to water, Commissioner Parke~ stated she is concerned, however, she is glad to hear that the water studies will be prepared and in place before the City has to look at the project. Commissioner Keen stated he feels that this project is a good in-fill project and needs to be developed by the City because of the different ramifications it would have if developed by the County. Regarding schools, Commissioner Keen stated the City's efforts of trying to designate land from a project for a school has been unsuccessful and, in his opinio~, having school fees given is the best way to go. The Police and Fire Department have a mutual aid agreement and, therefore, if the County develops it, the City will still service that area. There will still be traffic on James Way and Rodeo Drive if the County develops it, so that is another reason the City should annex it and try to govern and develop some way to help on Rodeo Drive. He stated if there is a way that this traffic impact fee could ga di~ectly toward helping fina~ce the Rodeo Heights bypass, in his opinion, that would be a step in the right direction. Senior Consultant Engineer Craig Carnpbell advised that presently the only traffic fee structures that are available are for specific lists of projects, such as a traffic facilities impact fee and a traffic signalization fee, and these each have their list of city-wide improvements where they are applicable for, and the City is restricted in using them for that, and correcting problems on Rodeo is not on that list. Basically, to use the fees for Rodeo, you would need to amend the Fee Ordinance to add that as one of the list of projects. Chair Greene clarified that the purpose of this hearing is to consider whether or nor the Draft and Final EIR together adequately (1) identify the environmental impact, (2) adequately analyze the environmental impacts, and (3) propose appropriate mitigations. If the Planning Commission votes to recommend to the City Counal to certify the EIR, that does noi mean that the project has been approved, only that the environmental impacts have been adequately identified, analyzed and mitigations proposed. He outlined other major steps in the approval process ~ before the p~oject can go on line, some of which are policy issues. Chair Greene noted the Commission is guided by tfie Land Use Element of the General Plan, Objective 10.0, which talks about expansion of city boundaries and annexation. He stated he believes this property should be annexed and he also believes reasons fo~ the annexation have Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 ~ Page 16 of 19 been adequately explained by other members of the Commission. He stated he is very uncomfortabie with this EIR because it focuses almost entirely on the annexation of Tract 2265 and addresses in a superficial manner only the annexation of the remaining parcels which constitute the other 19 acres. When some of that land becomes developed it is going to add additional environmental impacts which, in his opinion, have not been and cannot be adequately addressed in the EIR. He commented that the handwriting is on the wall and these properties are going to be developed and the impacts are going to occur. He is conce~ned because the water analysis focuses a great deal on some 59 homes and doesn't include a discussion regarding additional homes. Maybe the well that is on Deer Trail can absorb the additionai wate~ needs, and maybe the other issues regarding police, fire, public safety provisions, school issues, school fees and traffic mitigation issues can be dealt with, however, he is very uncomfortable that this is being presented to the City in this way. He agreed that there is no other way the applicant could present it since he does~'t have control ove~ the James property. He stated his feeling that the decision makers need to address this issue and there needs to be some refe~ence in the staff reports regardi~g potential impacts over and above those identified in the EIR. Chair Greene expressed concem over the water issue, stating it is not clear to him who is going to pay and how much. He feels that the EIR is deficient in that respect and, in his opinion, there should be some information provided to the City decision makers regarding the cost associated with the well. He noted that the Open Space and Conservation Element unde~ the Water Resources section states "....the City's present entitlements to ground water and Lopez supplies are not adequate to support buildout of the General Plan." This was adopted many years ago, and at that time, they were telling us that the~e were water problems then and we have added a significant number of residences since that date, and we continue to add more. He outlined another concern he has regarding the p~oposal requiring that the property be pre- zoned as RR, which means one residence per acre. He commented this is compatible at some points and incompatible in others with the surrounding neighborhood. He suggested that staff include in their staff report to the Council some sort of options they might want to consider rega~ding alternative zoning measures. Chair Greene stated that the next issue to be considered is compatibility with the community's basic identity as a rural small town commu~ity and, in his opinion, this project is compatible. This is a residential area and we are annexing residential p~operty and there is some degree of consistency. Another issue is whether the annexation is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan in regard to protection of agricuhure and open space. He stated he has a concern about that because there is a section in the General Plan that talks about maintaining slopes of 25% or more on 40 acre parcels, and there appears to be a slight deviation from that here. The applicant might want to consider setting aside extra portions of Tract 2265 for open space to bring it closer to that etement of the Ge~erai Plan. He further stated his opinion that everyone would applaud a reductio~ in the density ar an increase in open space for that issue. Chair Greene agreed with other Commissioners why the City witl benefit from annexation when conside~ing what the County could build, the loss of property tax values, park f+~es and traffic fees, which is a significant benefit to the City. Another issue is the contamination of ground Arroyo Grande Planning Commissio~ March 30, 1999 Page 17 of 19 water with septic systems. He commented there does exist a significant social and economic inner dependence interaction between the City and property proposed for annexation. There is adequate infrastructure and services that can be or have been provided and, finally, the proposed annexation will gene~ate revenue to pay for provision of City services. After the foregoing comments, Chair Greene advised he supports the resolution that would certify the EIR He stated he has a real problem with the pre-zoning and the density of the project. With regard to the traffic problems on Rodeo Drive, Chair Greene stated his belief that the City has the responsibiiity to provide for and protect the general welfare of the citizens of the community, and although it might not necessarily be an environmental impact for a ~esidential street to have 2300 0~ 2600 vehicles go up and down it each day, it is a significant impact for the residents who live there. He believes the City has a responsibility to alleviate that situation; how they go about doing that a~d whether the applicant is involved or not is an issue that will be addressed later on. He commented he believes the applicant has the responsibility to help mitigate this problem and when this issues comes before the Commission again, it will be interesting to see what efforts have been made to develop a community response to this problem. Chair Greene reiterated his positio~ that he is prepared to support a resolution certifying the EIR, however, he is not prepared to support a ~esolution that the property be pre-zoned RR. It is his feeling that process needs a little more investigation and discussion.

NON-PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS - None DISCUSSION ITEMS - None PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS AND COMMENTS Commissioner Keen noted the upcoming farewell gathering for Community Development Director Jim Hamilton. He expressed his appreciatio~ and commended for M~. Hamilton for taking over when he did at a point when there were several controversial projects and, in his opinion, he did an outstanding job. The Commissioners expressed their thanks to Mr. Hamilton and their wishes for good luck in his new assignment. Mr. Hamiiton advised that Mr. Henry Engen will be the Interim Director and that he is well expe~ienced and knows the community and the area very well. Commissioner Parker briefly reviewed the Planning Commissioners' Conference held in Monterey which she attended last week. She stated she would like to see the Council designate funds for Planning Commissioners to attend these conferences. She further stated, in her opinion, this helps Commissioners to leam their job better and, therefore, be more beneficial and provide more to the City in return. She encouraged City staff to approach the City Council in this respect and ask them to include funds in the budget. Mr. Hamilton advised he is in the process of preparing the budget recommendations fo~ the department for the upcoming year, and he has made a request to increase the education portion of the budget to allow some opportunity Arroyo Grande Planning Commission March 30, 1999 Page 19 of 19 fo~ at least two of the Commissioners to attend the conference in the upcoming year. COMMUNITY DEVEIOPMENT DIRECTOR COMMENTS AND FOLLOW-UP REPORTS. Community Development Director Hamilton advised that at the last City Council meeting the Council took action whereby the City will be applying in concert with the County for an agricultural land stewardship program grant from the State as part of the next step in the CASP process, and right now it looks like we are asking for a joint grant of about 530,000 and looking at actually putting in place some of the implementation elements that were included in CASP.

The type and cost of treatmerrt are not considered extraordinary, but are srn~ar to measures taken by the City els~n+here and also by many municipalities, acconiing to the Pubiic Works Departmerrt (testimony by Craig Carr~bell, Assistarrt City Engineer at Planning Commission meeting). 3. The mitigation calls for a revised grading plan to be submitted to the City tor review and approval prio~ to issuing a grading permit. The mitigation 's cleariy feasible by eliminating pad grading and/or creating wider bts. As a start toward satisfying this mitigation measure, the appiica~ presented a revised Trad Map at the Planning Commission meeting with deeper lots along James Way. This would reduce the steepness of slopes abng James Way. Refer to responses to comments 6.2 and 7.2. The City of Pismo Beach weq on the Los Robles dei Mar property is not planned to serve that project, and the City of Pismo Beach has no plans to use the weA (see EIR page IV-E~. Cumuiative effects of weil pumpage on the aqurfer are described on page IV-E8 and were addressed by a hydrogeologist in detaii at the Planning ~ Commission meeiing.

Box 550 Arroyo Grande, CA 93421 To Whom It May Concem: I am writing to provide comment on the Viliage Gien Annexation, Tract 2265 Project Draft EIR. I am a City of Arroyo Grande property owner with property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project. My primary residence lies approximately 4~0 feet north ofi the north-westem comer of the proposed annexation. While I am opposed to the project as currently proposed for a variety of reasons, I wiil focus my comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR. Summary of Environmentai Impac#s and Mitigation Measures: lmpact A1 and A2: Monitoring is affered as suggested mitigation for potential impacts to fire and police services. This form of mitigation appears unnecessarily weak compared to that provided for impacts to sct~ool districts (development impact fees). lmpact E3: If water quality is poor (a reasonable assumption given data from Oak Park well that taps same aquifer) and requires treatment to meet minimum State drinking water standards for domestic use, who wiil pay for ongoing treatment costs? Are treatments costs considered in assessment that donation of well to the City represents a positive beneficial aspect of project development'? Im~act F1: Mitigation offered for subject impact is quaiified as "to the extent feasible". How can the E1R ev.aiuate adequacy of that form of mitigation ifi the proposa! does not define specifically what is feasible in terms of eliminating pad grading, creating stepped pads, or varying slope ratios below 2:1. One should assume that none of the ofFered mitigation are feasible without commitment to specifiics particularly since the Draft E1R offers no Leve! of lmpact After Mitigation. tmpact E~ and E2: I believe these impacts shouid be classified as Class It at a minimum. They have the potential for creating significant impact to adjacerrt property owners if assumptions made in the Draft EfR are incorrect. Specifically, the Draft E(R assumes no connection between shaliow and deep aquifers (however, it recognizes that water from shallow aquifers is a factor in recharging the deep aquifer in another section). If this assumption is incorrect and additional drawdown from the deep aquifer removes water from the shallow aquifer many property owners in the area that rely on wells that tap the shallow aquifier could be negatively impacted. The potential for negative affects from additional drawdown of the deep water aquifer are greater than that described in the Draft EIR. It is not clear to me that the Draft EIR evaluates the additional cumulative affect from use of the Pismo Beach City well adjacent to the City's Oak Park well (full project demand from that well - additivnal 350 residences?). The cumulative impacts could affect other City uses from existing well. The existing City well provides approximateiy 55 gpm yet the hired consuitant hydrologist assumes that the new well can provide 100 gpm. The Draft EfR does not provide adequate support for the assumption in face of the existing and coritradictory data from the Oak Park well. The mitigation suggested for this impact is monitoring and testing. ft is not clear what wiil happen if the assumptions prove incorrect and the project donated well cannot provide usabie water in the quantities necessary to support the project. Given these concems is seems unreasonable to suggest that the assumed excess water from the donated well will be a positive (C1ass 11n beneficiai impact from annexation. Consistency Analysis {General Plan): Section 6.Od and e- It is not cfear in the Draft E!R specifically what will prevent future development on portion of Lot 31 of Book B, Page 78. The land~ appears to be suitable for building. If it is part of the single 33.5 acre lot, what wiil prevent its development under ather administrations. I believe most negative impacts from development of this property would be minimized ifi this area were considered part of ~ the usable (and (increase lot sizes near northem edge of project without increasing the total number of lots) and accessed those lots from Canyon Way. Lots neac the northem edge of the annexation area couid then be expanded to make them more compatible with the adjacent Rural Estate lots (2.5 acre minimums). However, ! do not believe this to be a reasonable altemative given the current status of available water. It wouid seem that roads and sidewalks have been added into the land to estabfish the gross minimum one acre minimum lots sizes. Is this appropriate and consistent application of clustering concept? Section 7.1 - The placement of ciustered lots that are around i5,000 square feet immediately adjacent to Rural Estate lots (minimum 2.5 acres lot s~ze) is unnecessary and will have a significant negative economic impact on the existing property owners. On a large scale there is a transition in lot size. However, comparisons to the Garden tract with the smaller "affordabie housing' minimum lot size is not reasonable given the • real character of most of the surrounding land use. Section suggests that development under county zoning could create potential for livestock keeping. Since this wouid be prohibited after annexation, the project could avoid potential incompatibilities. This seems to be a biased characterization. It is not clear that development under county zoning is possible since local water is not available. Further, existing uses include grazing on the property and adjacent land owners to the north can have livestoclc. Section 7.2 - The ciustering concept does not create a pleasing transition to surrounding development. As mentioned eariier, clustering piaces relatively small lots immediately adjacent to much larger lots. It wiil have an immediate affect o~ adjacent property values. Page IV-E3 Since the section on Aquifier Properties states that little is know about the Pismo formation deep aquifer, one should question nature of evaluation provided in Executive Summary related to affects of drawdown. I beiieve the City wouid be remiss to accept the projects hired hydrologists interpretation without independent assessment that the formation lithology between the shallow aquifier and the deep aquifer wi(1 be an effective aquitard (ie providing a barrier and precluding hydrauiic communication between two strata). The Draft E1R does indicate that there is no data to confirm interpretation but does not evaiuate potential impacts if interpretation is incorrect. Page IV-E4 indicates that addition sources of rediarge of deep aquifier may be verticai leakage from the shallo~v aquifers - but, assumes it is very limited. Many property owners will be affected if assumption is incorrect. Cumuiative Impacts (Page IV-E8): The assessment provided in this section should also be provided in the Executive Summary. This is the only section that addresses many of the water reiated concems mentioned above and it seems biased that it has not been provided in summary form. Page IV-~1: The visuai resources - The section does not indicate that lots within the incorporated area to the northwest {ook across the site. Specifically, this is my residence and the view is restricted by trees to oniy the ciustered lots. !t wiil not be visually pieasing. - Alternatives This section appears to be weakly deve4oped. Oniy two altematives are offered and one of these is rejected out of hand. One is left with an evaluation of a : project reduced from 64 lots to 5~. Clearty, other reasonable altematives are avaiiabie inciuding: 1) reduced lots numbers above 20 and less than 5o; 2) modifcation of lot sizes to provide larger lots near RE zoning; 3) use of other suitabie building areas within the proposed annexation area which couid be accessed from Canyon Way. Several of these altematives would be superior to those currentiy proposed.

Consultant Tom Buford highlighted the Staff Report. He said the Planning Commission recommended Council certify the Final Environmental Impact Report, approve the General Plan Amendment and the commencement of steps to approve the Development Code Amendment. He explained that if these items were approved by Council, the applicant would proceed to the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) requesting an amendment of the City's sphere of service to allow the City to provide sewer and water service to the site and an approval of the annexation. He expiained further that if LAFCO approved the ~pplication, the applicant would return to the City for approval of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map, the Planned Developmemt permit, and the actual development of the parcel with conditions of approval. Supplemental information was provided addressing alternatives that were available for Council consideration. After being assured that the Public Hearing had been duly published and all legal requirements met, Mayor Lady opened the Public Hearing. . Kirk Scott, 520 Via Vaquero, reminded the City Council that the City received survey results regarding the General Plan Update. He said there were three main issues: size of lots, density, and annexation. He said that the responses regarding annexation were 53% no and 48% yes and the only fair way to settle it would be to put annexation to a vote of the people. C.Z. Brown, 350 Old Ranch Road, stated that the project would be beneficial to the City but urged the Council to pay close attention to the tra~c issues at the EI Campo Interchange, Rodeo Drive, James Way, and the 227 by-pass. He urged the Council to consider dedicating traffic fees from the Village Glen project to relieve the problem on Rodeo Drive. 2 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 27, 1999 Ella Honeycutt, 5600 Oak Hill Road, stated she was not in favor of or opposed to the project. She stated that the City was taking a new path with annexation and there were hundreds of acres for the City to consider. She said that if the City was going to save any agricultural land, that the people who wanted to annex land should have to buy development rights. Kathleen Wendell, 737 Printz Road, stated her property overlooks the proposed development. She said she had concerns with the well that is being used to supply water to the property and the additional costs to the City for treating and blending the water, interFerence with her wells, the size of the lots, density per acre, and the clustered development of homes within the Tract. She commented that she was happy with the dedicated open space that is designated in the project. Phil Whitaker, 921 Huasna Road, stated he had walked the property and he likes the proposed project. He said if the City developed the parcel instead of the County, it wouid have control over City revenues and have an influence on the design and layout. Richard DeBlauw, 744 Alta Vista Way, stated his property adjoins this property and he spoke in favor of the project. Mark Panther, 402 Spanish Moss Lane, spoke in opposition to the project. He agreed with Mr. Scott that annexation should require voter approval. Jan Scott, Arroyo Grande, stated that the Berry Gardens development project was approved with a higher density than the General Plan allowed because it fit into the neighborhood and this project was the complete opposite with much smaller lots than what surrounds it.- Glen Hogan, Arroyo Grande, spoke in favor of the project. He said he selis real estate and he receives a lot of questions and interest from people about when the parcel will be developed. He said this project is compatible with the community. He said the area needed growth to provide a customer base for the new commerciai development and encouraged approvai of the project. Rob Plum, 291 James Way, spoke in favor of the project. He stated his fence line is next to the City's property line. He said he had lived at this address for 30 years and thought this was a great project. - Stephanie Painter, 541 Mesa View Drive, spoke in favor of the project. She said the property was not suitable for farming. She explained how the idea for the Village 3 ~ CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 27, 1999 Glen development came about with the concept of an oid fashioned neighborhood and lots of open space. ~ Fred Wendail, 737 Printz Road, stated his two main issues were well interference with his property and lot size. He said he did not understand the City's advantage_ of pre-zoning and thought it was only a benefit to the developer. Karen Crossharmon, 390 Mercedes, stated the development and the annexation were two different issues. She expressed traffic safety issues and water issues and said there was no rush for the development of the property. Glen James, one-sixth owner of the property, spoke in favor of the project. He said he liked the project and was happy to see that some open space had been reserved. Hearing no further comments from the public, the Mayor closed the hearing to the floor. Council discussion: Council Member Runels asked if the annexation was approved would the pre zoning preclude coming back later to make changes. Consultant Buford responded that pre zoning was part of thL Environmental Review process and was a requirement of LAFCO in its consideration and approval of the annexation. There was significant discussion regarding the wells that will serve the project. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked if LAFCO has ever accepted mixed zoning. He suggested mixed zoning such as Rural Estate and Rural Residential. Consultant Buford responded that t~he Council was not restricted to adopting the pre zoning that has been requested by the applicant. He noted it was not the City pursuing the annexation through LAFCO, it was the applicant. Council Members asked questions about some of the mitigation measures in the . Environmental Impact Report related to grading, water, and traffic issues. There was discussion related to the Analysis of Fiscal Impact and how figures were derived at to determine a cost benefit of the annexation to the City. Consultant Buford explained the Fiscal Analysis and the potential impacts on City departments and services. There was extensive discussion regarding traffic concerns. Consultant Buford explained how the Traffic Analysis reviewed several scenarios which started with 4 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 27, 1999 current traffic, added project traffic, and included traffic as a result of the build-out ~ of the Five Cities Center. He referred to Pages IV-D5 and IV-D6 in the E.I.R. which shows a cumulative project list with projected traffic volumes. Counc.il Member Runels stated that this parcel was not farmland. He said that if the City did not proceed with this project, the County wouid have control over the development of the land. Council Member Runels said it was time for the project to move forward and moved to certify the E.I.R. and adopt the Resolution. The motion failed for lack of a second. Council Member Dickens responded to some of the public comments and said he would favor using traffic fees to mitigate issues on Rodeo Drive; he applauded the developer for designating 33 acres as open space; he would favor a transition of lot sizes; and he opposed a ballot initiative for annexation. He stated his primary concern with certifying the E.I.R. was the well issue. He suggested the possibility of creating a special assessment district to offset water treatment cost of the Deer Creek well. He said he was not in favor of pre-zoning the parcels outside of the tentative tract proposaL Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated he questioned the accuracy and validity of the EIR as related to water, traffic, and refuse diversion issues. He said mitigation measures rely on the Brisco Interchange Ibng term studies and projects not presently planned, designed or approved. He stated another proposed traffic mitigation measure is the Grace Lane Extension which is neither planned, designed, or approved, and may in fact never be built. He said these are not valid mitigation measures and should not be presented as such. There are no proposed mitigation measures in the E.I.R. that ~address traffic circulation impacts in a manner consistent with the General Plan. He said that although the project has merit, the E.I.R. is not adequate and does not meet the intent of the General Plan. ~ Mayor Lady commented that this project was exempt from the current General Plan Update. He stated he likes the project but has concerns with water and traffic. He said if this was a County project, loss of revenues, public safety services, traffic, and loss of design control would negatively impact the City. City Attorney Carmel explained that if the Council was suggesting modifications to the E.I.R. at this time, the document may have to be recirculated to allow for additional public comment. Gary Young, applicant, spoke on behalf of the project. He assured the Council that they had met CEQA requirements. He said they would develop and test the water 5 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 27, 1999 . ~ source for 34 days to prove there is substantial water to serve the project before recording a final tract map. He, said there had been extensive analysis on the traffic ~ issue. He said this was a logical extension of the City which wouid generate substantial fee income for the City. ~ - ~ s Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara moved fo postpone the adoption of the Resolution certifying that the Finai Environmental lmpact Report prepared for~General Plan Amendment 97-004, Development Code Amendment 97-009, Vesting Tentative Map 2265, and Planned Development 97-56 and return it to the applicant to work with Staff to determine better accuracy in the E.I.R. and identifying additional mitigation measures to address identified impacts Council Member Dickens seconded the motion.

FUNDING: The FY 1998/99 Amended Capitai Improvement Budget includes $140,410 as the amount available for preparation of the Brisco Road-Halcyon RoadlRoute 101 PSR and $117,436 as the amount available for the EI Campo Road/Route 101 PSR. DISCUSSION: In order to apply for State/Federal funding for either of the interchanges, the City must prepare a Project Study Report (PSR) and have it approved by Caltrans. One of the items required to be in a PSR is a Need and Purpose Statement. The Need and Purpose Statement defines the reasons why the project is needed and what the project will provide. The projects' Consultant prepared a preliminary draft Need and Purpose Statement which was distributed to the Project Development Team (PDT} members. The PDT distribution list consists of the Consultant (Dokken Engineer); City, County of San Luis Obispo, SLOCOG, and Caltrans staff; Arroyo Grande Traffic and Planning Commissioners; Arroyo Linda Crossroads representatives; and several interested citizens. The PDT members have forwarded their comments to the projects' Consultant and below is a comprehensive summary along with the staff's recommendations as to how these comments should be incorporated into the final Need and Purpose Statement. ~ FEB-26-99 FRI 02~38 PM DOKKEN ENGINEERING FAX N0, 9168580643 P. 03/04 1C~~ Hcbruary 199J OS-SLO-101 KP 11.0/12.0 New Inlrrcl~ange E1 C•rmpo Ros?d and US 10t NF,F;D & The purpose of the projzct i~ to improve capacity, safety and tr~tflic operations at the EI PURi'OSE Campo Ro~td/US 101 at-~racle ititersection, to provide for n:gional circulation neecis of the Nipomo Mesa azea, and to provide for access to th~ proposecl Arroyo Linda Gossroacis development from U'S 101.

Proposed improvements muct meet design standards (or justify leaving in place any existin~ non-standard fe.~tures), trtffic safety and operational requiremenu of the City of Arroyo Grande, County of San Luis Obispo Courtcy and Caltrans. The projcct is needed duc to continued growth in and thc communities sui~rounding tltc City of Arroyo Grande. The City's General P1an is currently heing updatecl. At buildout oF the City's Ger?eral Plan traf~c demand volumes in the project area ace projected to inerease signi~c:uttly. The County of San Luis Obispo, South County Cireulacion Study dated March 1990, projected growth out to the year 2010. The study projecteci si~iificant gruw~li in Zane 8, the area surrounding El Ca~npo Koad. Projectioas indicated tha~ at buildout of the developments planned at that time, population in 2one 8 would increase frorn 272~ in 1989 to 6750 at buildout, an increase of abouc 2.5 dmes. The 1997 updace of the Souch County model indicaled chat traffic volumcs on El Campo Road are projected to inen:ase from 1300 ADT to 3800 ADT without consideration of thc Arroyo Linda Crossr~acl~ development. A March 1998 study, "EI Campo Road/ ~Loutc 101 Interchangc Alternativcs Analysis" by Higgins Associ~tes, indicatcd that with thc Arroyo T.inda Crossroads development, 2020 traflic demand volumcs would incncasc ta 5200 ADT on EI Campo Road. The E! Campo Road/US 101 intersection currently operatas at LOS F. Bascd on the most current ~toute Concept R~pott {1990) Route lOl betwccn the Santa Barbara County line and the City of Paso Robles is projected to reach LOS P by the year 2010 without improvements. The current Route Concept Report calls for a G-lane freeway through thc study anea. With projected lraffie volurnes, El Carnpo ltoad intersection opetations will eontinue to cletcriocate. Operational improvements are needed to maintain acccpta6le LOS on Route 101 in the study area and at the El Campo RoacUUS lOl intencciion within thc 20-ycar design period. To be eonsistent with future proposed 6-lane freeway, access at El Campo Road would have to b~ upgraded to an intarchange. With the proposed development of Arroyo Linda Crossroads thcre will be adJitional ts'affic demand fram the east side of US ]O] where limital points of access are currently provided. To meet target LOS • at existing access poinGS to US 101, it will be necessary to eilher upgrade thosC access poinls to meet increased demand or to add an access point th~t will take the demand load off of existing access points. TrafFtc accident data from Caltrans District 5 for ihe interseccion indicates that the accide»r"'~~"~'-`' rate is slightly higher than the average rate for this lype of facility. County accident daia for EI Campo roatt indicates that the accident r~te on ~his facility is above averagc and requires adJitionat stndy. Up-grading the intersection to an interchange is expectcd to imgrove safety by reducing accident races. • FEB-26-99 FRI 02~39 PM D~~YEN ENGINEERING FAX N0. 91FA580643 P. 04/04 Fcbruar}+ 1999 OS-SLO-l01 1Ci' 2l SR2S Interchange ModiCication B~isco Rosd-H~lcyon Road and US 101 N~D & Thc purpose of the propoced project is to improve capacity, safcty and traffic o}~erations ac PURPUSr: the Brisco Road-Halcyon RoatUUS 101 int~:rchange.

Dear Jill: Thank you for the oppo~tunity to review and comment on the draft "Purpose and Need" statements for the proposed EI Campo and Brisco/Hafycon Rd. interchange p~ojects. The fol(owing are our comments regarding the current draft text provided by Dokken Engineering. ' EL CQMPO RD ' The funding o~ an interchange iocated at or near the vicinity of the existing at-grade lntersection hinges on a partnership of players. The purpose and needs statement suggests regianal circulation to the Nipomo Mesa wiil be improved as a resuit of this p~oject. However, SL.OCOG's 1998 regionai trafFc model calculations derr~nsirated show only 20% of the vehides using an interchange facility at EI Campo Rd. as being regionai in nature. We appreciate the Counfy Engineering DepartmenCs desire to review, update 'rf necessary, the South County Circulaaon Study as a means to substantiate the traffic volume figures soon to be provided by Higgins and Associates. Related issues focused on County land use and buiid out issues must be addressed appropriately, by the County, in determining the uitimate regionai arculaGon benefits of this projecf. The purpose and need statement for the project should be modifced to recognize the majority of the circulation benefits as being locai. The annexation of the Arroyo Linda Crossroads Phase II component extends to fhe existing sphere of influence recogni~ed in the City's cuRent general plan. Most PDT members are unaware of p~oposed changes the City is undertaking in their genecal plan update (land use and circulation elements) and to what degree annexafior~ of property south of the Ciiy-tim~ts will influence current and fufure land use activities in and around the southem portion of the City. . The purpose statement should a(so include the objective to ~emove as many at-grade intersections near the project loca~ion as possible, thereby~ maximizing the b~nefit of eliminating unsafe at-grade intersections along that segment of Highway 101.

The foliowing are our concems regarding the text. ? You have noted that the primary purpose is to provide regional circulation for the Nipomo _ Mesa area. At this time, there is no basis from our regional circulation models that would establish this as a true need. In fact, we feel very little traffic utilizes this link and do not show improvementto this route as such. Moreover, the issue of a regional circulation link is a growth inducing factor to that area of the Nipomo Mesa. Our Planning Department objects to any higher use of the area. As we have previously requested, we would want to see the intention of the City for annexation of this land as it reaily would be a benefit to the City not to the County and the Nipomo Mesa Region. The true intent would be more for access to the southem end of Arroyo Grande and the Arroyo Linda Crossroads project in particular. Especially with the 40,000 tcips Crossroads project may generate. This ~s well a5o~e tha p~tential cf this ar2a of the h9esa. ? Any commitment to EI Campo lnterchange as serving significant demand from the Mesa must be founded in the South County Circulation Study. The PSR is premature at this time. We would first want to revise and approve an update to the Circulation Study prior to committing to this statement. Given the basis of projected growth and traffic cited, we would want to substantiate the purpose and need by reviewing your March 1998 El Campo Road Route 101 Interchange Altematives Analysis by Higgins. ? The purpose and need appears to not address benefits or impacts to Route 101. It would seem apparent that putting in an interchange would be beneficial to take out existing at grade crossings along the existing highway segment south of Arroyo Grande. By placing the interchange at the proposed location of EI Campo Road at grade intersection, we will only take out one highway at grade crossing. If it was put farther to the south it would take out up to three at grade crossings and convert at least a mile south of Arroyo Grande ' ' ^ l into full freeway use. This would be an important purpose and need for the interchange and should be accommodated in the document. ? You list that County roads wiil be upgraded to the design standards and traffic safety and operational requirements of the County. We have not yet seen any layouts which show project scope, please submit copies for our review. We would also want EI Gampo Road improvements included as part of the overall project cost as this is the only way the County would benefit. ? It is unclear what level of service you are designing for. You list a 20 year design period but do not show what horizon year that would be. Is it 2020 or 2030? Also, given the tight weave between interchanges and the southbound grade, how will project improve operations on Route 101? Operations would be improved with the southerly alternative or are placed at Brady Lane. ? The traffic accident data from Caltrans District 5 you have listed as accident rate just slightly higher than average rate. If Caltrans considers this slighUy higher than average rate, that would by no means consider it an accident concentration and warrant investments of millions of dollars. In general, people have avoided this intersection, placement of the interchange is only done for capacity enhancement and access to the adjoining properties. ? County accident data indicates that accident rate is above average on EI Campo Road. Your characterization of the statement does not reflect the County's view. EI Campo is a local rural road which is not a focused route. The collision rate indicates that substantial geometric improvements would need to be done prior to using this as a regional route. This would be a multi-million dollar project that the County does not have funds to undertake. It is unlikely to be fundable by development fees. As stated ea~iier, we would need to include this in overall project for the County to benefit under the Purpose and Need. If you have any questions regarding our comments orwould like to meet to discuss, please give me a call at 781-4463. I look forward to seeing whatever preliminary layouts you have on the interchange and woulcl like to workwith you on a more complete Purpose and Needs Statement.

Dokken Engineering 3054 Gold Canal Drive Rancho Cordova, California 95670 Dear Wendy: First of all let me apologize for not sending you the.following comments regarding the El Campo Road/Route lO1 Interchange.Modification PSR in a more timely manner. Hopefully you will be able to use them if you find them to be appropriate. As I think you are aware Bonita is assbciated.. with the Frederick Family in the Arroyo Linda Crossroads proj ect and my coa¢aents should be taken in that conte~. To begin with, we wholeheartedly concur with the many co~nents that have been made at your PDT meetings that have suggested that funding of the interchange be an issue that is dealt with as a part of the overall PSR, assumi.ng that issue is within the scope of items that are included in PSR'-s. It is almost amusing to us how all of the aqencies involved in the study, with the possi.ble exception of the City of Arroyo Grande, are avoiding any acixaittance of need for the interchange improvements like one would avoid a red hot potato if it were thrust in our direction. While we admit that the Arroyo Linda Crossroads (ALC) project will be precipitating an earlier need for the intersection improvement, we l~ow that we will be asked and expect to pay more than inight otherwise be our reasonable share of the cvst of the improvement. The ALC project will certainly enhance the fiscal well being of the City of Arroyo Grande as well as other larger-..surrounda.ng areas of the county - by providing employment opportunities for our children and their children to come and generating sales tax revenue through many of the commercial oriented opportunities that will abound as the project develops. The Fredericks have spent many many hours evaluating the many alternatives that are available for the development of their vacant, barren and almost unusable property and have also spent many dollars on consultants and other professionals implementing the preparation of the plans necessary to go through the governmental entitlement processes. ~ Wendy Tkacheff April 9, 1999 Page 2 . Al1 of this time and money has been spent with a singular goal in mind. That goal is to provide the community with a project that will not only compliment our central coast life styTe, but will also be something that the entire community can be proud of. The entitlement px'ocess and the many milestones of public review and approval dictate the above_. Returning to the PSR's needs and purpose statement, it goes without saying that the interchange is a necessity to the success of the ALC project. For those agencies that are now trying to stay out of the way of that hot potato, and will be asked to financially participate in the cost of constructing the new interchange, it is absoiutely ludicrous to say tizat they will not receive some benefit. We as citizens of this community should be looking at the entire project, including ALC as a means of obtaining a needed part of . our transportation infrastructure and having the private sector paying for a significant portion of it should work positively as we look for ways to justify the improvements. y Once we get our heads screwed on in that direction and we begin looking at the value of the intersection improvements, our friends from the county will begin to appreciate the value that an El Campo interchange ~ improvement will have on relieving traffic on Halcyon Road and Highway 1 and providing additional relief froin the northern Nipomo Mesa generated traffic. Our peers at Caltrans wz1l. begin to give credence to the elimination of the present safety hazards and the non-freeway condition of the intersection, as well as the elimination of the southbound Traffic Way on-ramp. This has .to ~be consistent with the Caltrans ultitnate objective of a 6-lane freeway through this part of San Luis Obispo County. And lastly, SI+OCOG.will start to realize the potential value of the E1 Campo-Highway 101 intersection as a regional and major benefit, whose cost will be bome to a significant degree by the private sector developers of Arroyo Linda Crossroads, not the public as so many other major infrastructu-re improvements are financed. No project at all or one that will not be appropriately located to serve the access needs of Arroyo Linda Crossroads will result in a perpetuation of the existing conditions and those conditions will worsen as the area grows and traffic needs and demands become more acute. Thank you for allowing us to coamnent and I again apologize for not . getting this to you sooner. ~ Very truly yours, John H.

Reference: Need & Purpose statement included in Meeting Minutes of February 9,1999 it is important that we consider the factors effecting the justification for the El Campo interchange. Those factors will have a great bearing on "who pays" for the construction cost of the interchange. The issue of financiat feasibll'rty should be considered naw. What are the present just~fication factors that apply to EI Campo Intercfiange? - The first appears to be the requirement to serv~ce traffi.c entering and exiting the Phase 2 implementation of the Arroyo Linda Specffic Plan. - The second is to make a safer access for peopte using the present Ei Campo access to US181. - The third factor is the provision fo~ a better access for US 707 traffic . originating on the Mesa near Halcyon Road. It is interesting to compare these three factors to the two major factors considered in the prior Omni-Means study: - The use of~the interchange as an origination pointfor a SR227 byipass. - The assumed need to ~elieve traffic congestion an U51 Oi because of an assumption that U5101 would not be expanded from two to three lanes. it'ts important to poi~t out the fact that the jusftfication in the Otnni-Means study did not consider the Mesa traffic requirement Why was this requirement ignored? The answer may be the fact that we have an ~nterchange laofting for a justification. is there a. . ~ reaching to find another justification, no matten c~w unreal orweaktfie justification is? • Secausewe can safely assumetfiatthe long range US'107 plans provide forthree-iane expansion, there is no jusftfication for a SR227 bypass. There will be sufficient capacity on U5107 with three lanes, and because of this, an alternate route, even thougFi desirable, is not required. So another justification must be found. Why? Because, the praposers of the Arroyo ~ Linda Plan da not want to pay for a targe portion of the cost of the interchange. The justification is related to "who pays." The onty hope for a justification is the rationale that the interchange will relieve future traffic demands on the Mesa. There are no_ meaningful studies that support this assumption. But even if the traffic data supported reasonable tra~c flows there is a rea! probiem with the Mesa Based Justification! There is no road going to the Mesa planned, or contemplated, or being formally considered as a part of the El Campo PSR. The p~esen! road would challenge goats let alone any low- (evel traffic volume from the Mesa. So there is a problem with the E! Campo interchange justification. And the res~h of the probiem is the major funding responsibi(ity will fall to the developer and the City if the "justification isn't justified:' We are a# a stage where it is like sailing on the Trtanic knowing there is an iceberg in out future. THE MARCH 28,1998 REPORT TO THE CITY ~OUNCIL . With this overview in mind, this letter emphasizes the points made in my report (9 pages) to.the City Council on March 28,1998, a year ago this month, on the same general subject of this document. These thoughts were also given to the SLOCOG Board and its Executive ~ommittee in the context that there is a special opportunity to address a possible "major regional trafficltransportatioa ~equiremen~" These are a lot of words that, in essence, suggests that if there is to be a justification and funding for an interchange, there had better b,e a defined County/State road systern ~ infrastructure which supports it ~Otherwise, there is no reai jusfificatio~ and no money wil( be forthcoming from other major agencies. This would leave the City of Anoyo Grande, a~d those who propose to develop the Fredericks' property, with the ugly, unhappy and lonely prospect of having to "pay the bill." May 1 say at this point, if anyone is serious about tfie City paying for or becoming (iable . for funding the interchange, or any majar portion of the iaterchange, there may be a - serious political reaction by the citizens of Arroyo Grande that this is not a very good idea. Here is the iceberg, clear and simple. Sailors and passengers, abandon ship. Man . the iifeboats! ~ WHAT 15 THE ROA~ SYSTEM? An environmentally sensitive, beautifuify designed ~oad rystem Infrastructurewoutd serve regional traffic occurring from and to the Mesa, through Arroyo G~ande, to and ' from San Luis Obispo. This road system would be an important complementto, an _ - atternative for, and a conjunction ~rith USi 01 serving the area frotn the South Goutrty to _ - San Luis Obispo. In essence, this thinking revives the question of the SR227 bypassl But this woufdn't be a SR227 Bypass. This would be a complementary road system to US101 that could be defined in the cantext of a fong-range imptementation over many years. ' . Am 1 dreaming? Is such an idea worth considering. Absolutely, if you wish to surv~ve th~s voyage. This may seem to be a strange suggestion coming from one of tfiose citizens wfio "led the parade" in killing the SR 227 bypass proposal. It was not jus#ified, but a tastefully designed new road system implemented over ma~yyears may be! ~ I am aot saying that it would be justified. What 1 am saying is the suggestion should be considered. Anything is better than hitting that iceberg! But a number of issues hang on this determination besides the multi-agency consensus to make it happen.That issue is the . interdependency of the Arroyo Linda Plan, iYs phasing of the requirement for an interchange, and the General Plan of the City Of Arroyo Grande. LET'S REVIEW ARROYO GRANDE'S PLANNING ACTiVtTiES Two independent, yet vitatly related planning projects, are now being considered by . the City of Arroyo Grande: - The PSR for an interchange (ocated at or near fl ~ampo Road. - The Arroyo Linda Crossroads Specific Ptan proposed by the Fredericks famiiy on land tocateci South of the City. These projects are being considered while the City revises its Circulation Element artd the General Plan. tt is important to emphasize that the present PSR was author~zed during the past administration of the City Council. It is predicted tfiat the new Council wiil have a longer view of the questions relating to the Arroyo Linda Plan and the C'rty sponsored PSR for an interchange at El Campo Road.The new~ouncii `aint"going to sail on any ship that risks hitting an iceberg.That has aiready happened once in recent memory, and some are drowning as a ~esu1L No life vests and the water is very cold! SOME BACKGROUND ON THE lNTERCHANGE AND OMNI-MEANS STUDIES A substantial portion of the Omt~i-ihlleans long-RangeTraffic Study was revised to _ accommodate a plan for devetopment of the Fredericks' property, based o~ optimistic land use assumptions. These revisions resulted in changing an East-West orientation of . traffic flow, to relieve tra~c congestion on East Branch Street in the vitage, to a North- South traffic flow consideration proposing a SR227 bypass, with the main justification bei~g the relief of traffic congestion on US101. So there have been a 1ot of sympathetic support for the Fredericks' plan to develop their properiy. These studies have supported and enhanced the Fredericks' efforts to develop their land. The study mo~eys were spent on the reliance that there would 6e a coincident development of the Fredericks property in conjunction with a new inter~hange located near or at EI ~ampo Road. Why are these facts relevant now? THE PHASE 11PHASE 2 lSSU~ Despite these efforts, it came as a surprise to many,when the Fredericks' Arroyo Linda Specific Plan was submitted, tfiat the ptan was defined in two phases, with the interchange implementation falling in the seccnd phase! 8esides this fact, there was no estimate on the timing of the phases, except Phase 2 was, obviously, a secondary priorrty. Phase 2 would require tf~e interchange; Phase 1 would no~ Atso, despite all the efforts given in support of the Fredericks for their Arrayo linda Specific Plan, their ptan ~ . is nonspecific in many respects, especialiy as to costs and scheduie. The.P{an's revelation caused many to ask questions. When does the secondary phase happen? When Phase 1 is successful7 What is the real Arroyo Linda Spec~c Planl Phase 1 only? And then Phase 2 if Phase 1 is successful? In essence, this means that because of the Arroyo Linda Plan's Phase 2 implementation, the EI Campo requirement, in all respects, has a secondary priority for the F~edericks even though they contributed to the PSR cost No one knows when Phase 2 will happen. No one knows or can even give a good guess. This is not the stuff that major finanaat decisions a~e made of, and tf~is is troubling when considering the haste to proceed with the EI Campo PSR at this time. !f - yau are going to buy a ticket to sail on this ship, forget about the iceberg. The ship wiU . never (eave port because no one knows when orwhere it is going. ~ _ Sesides this impediment, the plan as proposed bythe Fredericks contemplates the commercialrndustrial development of a business park near the edge of the arroyo with views into the ~llage, next to two environmentaliy sensitive neighborhoods. This aspect of their plan is also politically sensitive if not provocative. And 1 atn being po(ite! Nevertheless, this de-emphasis on the requirement of an interchange as spec~cally confirmed by the Phase 2 nature of the plan, does put the plan and the requirement fo~ an intercha~ge at some rislc and subjects the projectto deserved criticism. (1 won't sail on that boat) This is the reason why so many believe the Fredericks' proposa! is so . disappointing. A new Council sits. Based on the results of the recent Generat Plan Citizens Survey, a ~ different attitude exists today on the question of growth. People like things theway they are. Most citizens recognize the virtues of managed growth, but there is (ittle satisfaction expressed for the growth that has occurred. There are new facts that ~ supportthis conclusion. And they are impressive! THE INTERCHANGE STUDY There must be a substantiated "regional" justification if moneys are to be committed by - the ~ounty, CALTRANS and SLOCOG. Many believe that justification must include a significant amount of tra~c flowing to and from the Mesa, tra~c flowing to and from . tfie Lake Lopez area, and trafftc flowing to and from San Luis Obispo. What is the p~ize if such traffic flows can be justified? Up to 40°,6 or more of the total funding bill for the interchange may be the prize. How much money are we tatking about? Assuming a completed totat cost of $10,000,000, there would be a$4,~0O,OOa contribution by other agencies. Considering this, what are the dependencies to justify tfie inter~hange? For if this is not a high priority forthe Fredericks, then it becomes a different probtem and priority far the C'rty, botfi pviitically and seruibly. There should consideration of a regional justification that a~rms the definition and implemeatation vf a plan for a substantial infrastructure of roads that is based on the interchange. There must be strong suppart by a[I agencies for this plan. At this point the present Fredericks` plan really is only Phase i, nothing more. And itby its naked self has severe problems considering its offensive qualities and awkward impletnentation without access to US) 01 at E1 Campo Raad. Without a sensible jusfification for the interchange, it may never be funded un[ess the developer pays the bip. . Resp Ily, ~PY• e unci The C'rty Manager The PSR Oistribution List P.ECEIVEO OTIS S.

BACKGROUND The Fredericks` Arroyo Linda Plan proposes a two-phased project for development of their 275-acre property, located south of the ~llage and east of US 101. Phase 1 is comprised of 90 acres within ihe City. Phase 2 has 185 acres located in the County.The Fredericks propose the tity annex the County property included in Phase 2. Phase 2 requires ar~ interchange at U5101. The ~redericks say Phase 7 does not7 {Some disagree) • The Witliams family possesses 200 acres located south of and contiguous to the Fredericks'.They pian to develop and request annexation.The property also has a requirement for an interchange. The Wil(iams' requirement is immediate, contingent only on funding and the annexation decision. The requirement is not dependent on or tied to Arroyo Linda's Phase 2 timing. THE INTERCHANGE LOCATION The Fredericks prefer an interchange tocated near El Campo Road.The Williams' requirement suggests a location near the line of the Fredericks' and Williams' praperties. This is described as the "southern location" in a prior study. A southern location is considered to be more desirable by the residents of Fatcon Ridge and those advocating a better access to the Mesa. ~ THE UTY'S GENERAL PLAN AND OTHER PLANNING REQUIREMENTS 8esides the requirement for a multi-agency consensus to support the funding of the interchange, four related planning activities are now being considered by the C'rty of Arroyo Grande. These have a bearing on the funding issue: - The effort to prepare a PSR for an interchange located at or near El Campo Road. - The Arroyo Linda Crossroads Specific P(an proposed by the Fredericks. ~ - The emergence of the Williams' ptan consideration; - The City's revision af its Circulatian Element and Generai Pian. This planning activity is greatly influenced if not prejudiced by the effort to prepare a PSR for the EL Campo interchange. The PSR effort should be put in a state of abeyance untii the C~s Generat PTan is decided, hearings have been he~d on the Arroyo Linda Plan; the Williams plan has been considered, and a confident funding plan has bee~ estabtished for the interchange. A substantial question mvst be arrswered as a part of the Gerreral Pfan. Wifl the C'rty add County property to accommodate expansion needs? If the answer is no, there wilt be no need #o~ an inte~change. Up to this pant there has not been a final decisian on the . annexation question, even though a substantial effort has been marshaled by the past Council to effect an annexation ptan. lf the answer on annexation is yes, then the question of rezoning. the Fredericks property is at issue. !f the answer is no, the Fredericks must revise their pian, since Phase 2 would be a dead issue. if the rezoning is permitted, then the Arroyo Linda Plan should be reviewed with appropriate changes made as a function of the hearing process. The Williams plan should then be considered along with any other requirements that could aid the justification and eventual funding decision of the interchange. THE PSR ABEYANCE Before an interchange may be approved as a contender in the STP (State Transportation Plan), there must be an approved PSR, induding a justification. Tl~is will allow the . projectto be rated and carrtend farfunds. (See attachmer~ PSR hrstifrcation Criteriaj The argument for not having arr abeyarrce is ttrat all major fandtng cFecisions wtN f~e _ resolved during or near after the finish of the PSR: This is appropriate assuming a co+~sensus exists supporting the fusfrftcatwn. That is rwt the si#uation with the E1 Campo PSR. The consensus is critical and not supportive! The argument for an abeyance is to allow the C'rty to get its ad together in terms of the General Plan and the appropriate hearing processes that should have been he(d before the PSR was appraved. Performing tf~e PSR prior to hearings on the Arroyo Linda Plan, and now prior to the completion of the General Plan, is a case of "putting the cart before the horse." An abeyance of the PSR effort shoufd be no tonger than tfiree months. The City should be able to get its' "homewor(~' accomplished in this time period. Respectfully s bm' i C: P annin issio . = r Traffic Commission Cty Manager . Director of Public Works Director Community Development . : ConsultantJill Peterson ' ~ ~ Attachment: lnterchange Justification Criteria ~ ATTACHMENT: INTER~HANGE JUSTIFICATION CRITERIA The justification for the proposed Ei Campo interchange is reiated to the funding plan for the interchange. The justification detaits the major "purpose and use" of the interchange. The Williams' develapment is not a part of the present justification. It should be. The Williams family is preparing a specific ptan for submission to the City and seeking advice from the City staff. The iNilliams' plan will help substantiate the interchange's justification and funding. JUSTIFICATI~N FACTORS The present justification factors that apply to EI Campo interchange include the requirement to service traffic entering and exiti~g the Phase 2 implementation of the Arroyo Linda Specific Pian. The second is to make a safer access for peaple using the present E! Campo access to U5101. The third factor is the provision for a better access fo~ U5101 tra~c originating on the Mesa near Halcyon Raad. These factors are judqed to be insufficient to justify multi-agency support. The justification in the prior Omni-Means study did not consider the Mesa traffic requirement. There are no meaningful studies or accepted tra~c data that support the Mesa tra~c requirement. JUSTfFiCATION CRITERIA A typical justification rationale is based on a numerical rating to apply justification criteria to justification factors. These factors are weighted in terms of importance. The following naive example applies this type of raticnale to the preser~t EL Campo interchange: JUSTIFICATION ITEM RELATIVE IMPORTANCE WEIGHT TOTAL SCORE PERCENT Developer Requirement 10 10 100 725 Safety 2 4 8 6.0 Mesa Tra~c Attess 5 b 30 21 S The concfusion using this ratio~ale is the developerwould be responsible for 725 percent of the construction cost The rest could be laid off to otfier parties with a very important "(F": if they ayree to participate! ~ lt is recommended that SLOCOG, CALTRANS and the County establish an acceptabte set of criteria that would provide the best attempt at an objective raticnate to access the funding responsibil'~ty for the interchange.

AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR CURBSIDE RECYCLING SERVICE Jim Hamilton, Community Development Director, stated that the current contract for curbside recycling with RALCCO was due to expire on March 31, 1999. He recommended that Council authorize RFPs be solicited for curbside recycling services. RALCCO would be eligible to compete for the contract. He explained, due to ongoing contract compliance problems, it is in the best interest of the City to explore all options for curbside recycling. Greg Shipley, representing RALCCO, spoke to the Council. He reminded the Council that weeks ago they had reviewed the Green Waste collection service. There had been some correspondence between the City and RALCCO concerning the following three (3) complaints: 1. Compliance 2. Twenty bundles that had not been picked up. 3. JJ's Market needed to work out a solution with RALCCO that included an exemption for its trash pick up. Each of these problems had been work on and resolved. Mr. Shipley went on to say that when servicing 4,200 homes and businesses there are bound to be some problems. He would disagree that RALCCO is giving poor service to Arroyo Grande. He stated that RALCCO would be willing to get together with staff to solve any problems. RALCCO wanted to do a good job and needed information concerning problems to facilitate that. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked Mr. Hamilton if RALCCO was willing to continue on a month to month basis. Mr. Hamilton directed the question to Mr. Shipley. Mr. Shipley answered that RALCCO was willing to work on a month to month basis. RALCCO was interested in working hard to continue the service and they will do what is necessary to achieve that goal. City Manager Hunt informed the Council that he had spoken to the City Manager of Pismo Beach. If the Council proceeds with the Request For Proposal he has asked Mr. Hunt to contact him. He will then go to the Pismo Beach City Council and ask if they would be interested in a joint venture with the City of Arroyo Grande. Council Member Tolley stated that he wanted to proceed with the Request For Proposal. 3 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 1999 Mayor Lady was in agreement with Council Member Tolley and stated that RALCCO was entitled to present a proposal.

FINAL MAP APPROVAL PROCESS - FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE Don Spagnolo, Public Works Director, stated that upon direction from the Council staff prepared an ordinance designating the City Engineer as the official with the authority to approve final subdivision maps, accept offers of dedication, and enter into agreements to construct subdivision improvements. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked if this would be saving time in the administrative process to proceed in this way and if, as this becomes routine, will the process be easier? Mr. Spagnolo replied that the Final Map approval process will become routine after the process is established and it should save time. He explained that the process the City uses now is: 1. Approval by the City Council of a tentative or vesting tentative map. During the tentative map process conceptual review is performed and conditions of approval are set. 2. Approval of the Final Map. At this point if there are any substantial changes to the Final Map they are brought back to the Planning Commission for consideration. 4 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 1999 Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked who makes the judgement whether the changes are substantial or not. Mr. Spagnolo replied that the City Engineer and Public Works Director make the decision together. Council Member Tolley asked how often the Final Map is different from the Tentative Tract Map. Mr. Spagnolo answered that it is the same 97% of the time. He explained that developers do not want to have changes and have to go through another approval process. Mayor Lady thanked Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara for raising the preceding issues with regards to the Final Map process. Mayor Lady read the Ordinance for the Final Map Approval Process and moved to recommend approval. Council Member Tolley seconded the motion.

Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated that he had a conflict on March 22nd and requested the Council consider another date. 5 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 1999 Mayor Lady discussed the following issues that had been brought to this attention: 1.

Mayor Lady will discuss this with staff and see if any compromise can be made. 2. He has received calls recently about vandalism in the cemetery. This has never happened before.

Mayor Lady asked staff to put the General Plan Amendment item on a future City Council Agenda Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara had received a follow up call from Chris Ivy about the documents from Santa Maria regarding the issue of retaining non-taxable sales percentages in "big box" stores.

CITIZENS' INPUT, COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS - None 4. WORKSHOP ON WATER RECLAMATION PROJECTS/ISSUES Don Spagnolo, Public Works Director, stated that the Council previously considered a program to revise the City's current water neutralization policy. The proposed program established an in-lieu fee to allow ease of administration and less processing time for projects. As part of the program, a list of specific supplemental water projects needs to be identified. He noted the purpose of the workshop is to discuss potential projects that might be in the pipeline, or to discuss other projects that are appropriate for applying the fees received from the City's program. Director Spagnolo introduced John Wallace, District Administrator for the Sanitation District. He stated Mr. Wallace would be presenting one of the projects that might be an applicable candidate for those fees. Mr. Wallace gave a history of the South County Sanitation District and an overview of the plant's capacity statistics. He said the reclamation project currently being studied was for CITY COUNCIL - WORKSHOP MARCH 11, 1999 recycling a portion of the District's water that is currently being discharged to the ocean. He noted that various groups have asked the District to study the possibility of water reclamation for uses such as irrigation and ground water recharge. Mr. Wallace advised that the State has mandated the use of reclaimed water in certain circumstances, and has set goals for increasing the volume of reclaimed water by the year 2010. He noted that the legal framework for water treatment in California has mandated the use of reclaimed water when it is available. Mr. Wallace provided an update on the progress of the District's study. He explained the process of water recycling and the necessary treatment for various uses. He explained that the lowest quaiity of reclaimed water could be used for landscaping purposes where there is no public contact, for forage crops, hay crops, and agricultural operations that are non- edible types of crops. He said that water for public contact requires additional disinfection, coagulation sedimentation and filtration. Mr. Wallace presented a basic outline of how the water would be treated at the plant, costs of water treatment and transportation per acre foot. He cited some areas such as parks, and landscaping areas where the reclaimed water could be used. Mayor Lady opened the discussion to members of the audience for comments. Otis Page, 606 Myrtle Street, stated that $936 per acre foot is roughly twice the City's cost over Lopez water, and questioned if the Lopez future cost reflects the ten million dollar retrofit to Lopez. He also referred to the aforementioned figure of $1200, and asked if that was the sale price contemplating a profit on the water if you can get it, and if there was any practice where people take the water and sell it for profit. Tony Boyd, County Engineering Department, advised that the cost funding for the dam retrofit had not been factored into any rates as yet. He noted that at this point the cost estimate for fixing the dam is finrenty million dollars. Mr. Richard Neufeld, 932 Charles, asked about the cost for State water as a comparison. He also noted that the State has mandated the use of reclaimed water for landscaping on the freeways; however, he questioned if they had a set cost as to what they would pay for it. Mr. Wallace advised the cost is a little over $800 per acre foot. He said there are some nuances in the law; one that says the State shall use reclaimed water "if available", which means it has to be there at the freeway for them to take. He stated he doesn't know for sure whether or not Cal Trans could be forced to take $1200 an acre foot water out on the 2 CITY COUNCIL - WORKSHOP MARCH 11, 1999 freeway when they are paying less than that now. It was noted that the City of Arroyo Grande is paying about $340 an acre foot retail for water right now. In response to Mr. John Keen's question as to how much reclaimed water Arroyo Grande would be entitled to, Mr. Wallace advised that Arroyo Grande would be entitled to none of the water; the Sanitation District would own the water, treat it, and distribute it. Mr. Keen ' spoke regarding recharge areas and indicated interest in using recharged water and saving Lopez water. Tony Boyd, Hydraulic Operations Engineer with the County of San Luis Obispo, spoke regarding water reclamation. He noted the County is taking proposals as part of the water rights application to the State Department of Water Resources for the Lopez Dam, and a study will be conducted of the creek from the dam to the ocean from the standpoint of how much water needs to be released in order to keep the creek healthy with all the habitat. Also, in Fiscal Year 1999-00, they will be working on an Urban Water Management Plan that is required by the State of all agencies. The Plan will include all of the five water contractors in the Lopez project, and water reclamation will be looked at as an element of that Plan. Mr. Boyd stated there is no funding for water reclamation projects for Lopez; however, he said upgrades and improvements will be necessary at the plant over the next few years that could be called Water Reclamation projects. In response to Mayor Lady's question regarding a breakdown of costs for retrofitting to equate to dollar per square foot, Mr. Boyd stated he believed that information would be available in a few months. He noted he has not been involved in the financing aspects of the project; however, there has been a committee working on that aspect for several months and they may have something at the May Advisory Committee meeting. With regard to the question of recharge, Gouncil Member Runels asked about putting this water into the creek for recharge. Mr. Wallace advised there is some complication with State law about degradation of groundwater basins and, in his opinion, would not want to get involved in a recharge project that progressively increases the mineral content of the groundwater basin. There was discussion about the CalFed project having any indirect affect on the coastal water reclamation projects. Christine Ferrara expressed concern about comments that the City is re-filing for water rights out of Lopez reservoir. In addition, she expressed concern regarding the pending litigation on the groundwater basin in the Santa Maria area. She stated these are alarming 3 CITY COUNCIL - WORKSHOP MARCH 11, 1999 water rights issues. Another concern she has is the statement made that the wastewater that will be reclaimed may be water rights held by the South County Sanitation District. She said the City needs to determine what the overall goal is in making the best beneficial use of that reclaimed water and go from there. She urged that very careful direction be considered as to where we.are going with reclamation and water rights in general. Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Lady brought the discussion back to the CounciL There was clarification regarding where the fees could be applied in regards to reclamation. Council Member Tolley suggested hanging on to those fees right now because there were a lot of things in the pipeline and he would like to wait and see what happens before making any decisions. He inquired if there was a problem holding on to the fees and waiting to see where some of these issues go. Director Spagnolo stated they could be held to a certain point; however, at some point they are going to have to be applied to an actual project. It was suggested that other workshops on water reclamation be held when new information surfaces, look at the series of workshops as status reports, and eventually have the information needed to make a decision. Mayor Lady thanked the panel for their presentation, stating that the information provided would be very helpful in making future decisions. The Council agreed it is important to stay on top of this issue. 5.

He clari~ied that this item addressed the coordination/consolidation of recreation programs only and did not include coordination/consolidation of parks. He stated that the three cities had discussed this issue at its last Special Joint City Councils meeting in 1997 and had adopted a joint resolution of the cities supporting cooperative efforts in recreation. He said that in the last two years there have been significant results as an effort of that cooperation. He said staff recommended the Councils discuss and provide direction to staff. Council Members asked questions of staff and made comments.

She stated that the club had circulated a petition to students at Arroyo Grande High School which supports the development of a South County Community Center that would provide a multi- use facility to serve the needs of all ages. She presented the petition with over 600 signatures to the Councils and encouraged all three cities to work together on the development of a Community Center.

Joint Meetinas of the Cities' Respective Traffic Commission/Committee Arroyo Grande City Manager Hunt highlighted the Staff Report. He stated that direction was being requested regarding joint meetings of the cities' Traffic Committees. He said staff was seeking direction in three specific areas: 1) the purpose of the proposed joint meetings; 2) what type of projects would be subject to the joint meetings; and 3) any concerns the cities have regarding the interfacing of citizens-appointed committees and staff level committees. Council Members asked questions of staff and discussed the alternatives relating to the frequency of conducting joint Traffic Committee meetings. City Manager Hunt commented that the types of projects being reviewed may dictate the frequency of ineetings, and the Councils should decide what the level of involvement was going to be. There was further discussion about reviewing projects that are close to city boundaries that have traffic circulation impacts in all three cities. Arroyo Grande Mayor Lady opened the discussion for public comments. Colleen Martin, Arroyo Grande Parks and Recreation Commissioner, stated that she was concerned that there were no citizens on the Traffic Committees in Grover Beach or Pismo Beach to review citizen traffic complaints.

Discussion Regarding Interaovernmental Relations Arroyo Grande City Manager Hunt highlighted the Staff Report. He said that the South County has done a good job promoting intergovernmental relations on the local level; however, the future of the cities' will be dictated by decisions made in Sacramento. He stated the advantages of having an advocate for the local cities in Sacramento would be to cover legislative issues, and provide assistance with various State departments. He said there could be cost advantages of hiring one legislative advocate that could be shared between the three cities to represent issues on a more direct and personal level to expand the level of advocacy. Council Members asked questions of staff about precedents in other communities, levels of success in employing a legislative advocate, and how many California cities employ a legislative advocate. There was discussion about legislative information that is sent from the League of California Cities and how the cities do not have the resources or appropriate time to send city officials or representatives to Sacramento for lobbying efforts. Further discussion included clarifying the benefits of a local lobbyist versus Local State representatives who do not always have time to act as an advocate for City issues. There was discussion about directing staff to look at cities with similar demographics who have a legislative advocate to see what benefits have been realized in those cities. There was further discussion about moving forward on hiring a legislative advocate on a trial basis to see if it works, and reviewing the results on an annual basis. Grover Beach Mayor Keith moved to direct staff to investigate the possibility of securing a legislative advocate in Sacramento to protect the interests of the South County cities. Pismo Beach Council Member Henlin seconded the motion.

He stated that there were alternatives presented to the Councils to determine what kind of a schedule to set for future joint meetings; what should be included on the agenda; and what other agencies should attend with what level of participation. Council Members made comments and discussed the options offered. There was considerable discussion about the involvement of other agencies such as the County Board of Supervisors, Lucia Mar Unified School District Board, and Oceano Community Services District Board at the joint meetings. Council Member Henlin moved to 1) Set a schedule for regular meetings of the three cities twice a year; 2) prepare an Agenda which includes action, information, and education items only; and 3) attendance would include the elected officials of the three cities (Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach) and specified agencies on an as-needed, issue-by-issue basis.

NEW BUSINESS: FEE WAIVER - ARROYO GRANDE VALLEY LITTLE LEA . Parks and Recreation Director Dan Hernandez highlighted the Staff Report. He stated that staff recommended the Council provide direction regarding a fee waiver request from Arroyo Grande Valley Little League for use of the Jaycee Room at the Soto Sports Complex. There was discussion relating to the League's registration costs; how often the room is reserved; what percentage of paying customers would be lost if the waiver was granted, and the City's maintenance costs for the room. There were comments made that if the fee waiver was granted, it could set a precedent where other organizations would also begin requesting waivers for the use of the room. 3 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 25, 1999 Colleen Martin, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, stated that the Arroyo Grande Valley Little League registration fees were much higher and not in line with other sports groups. Ms. Martin stated that fee waivers should be requested before use of the facility, not after. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Lady ciosed the public discussion. In response to questions from Council, Director Hernandez responded that if the Jaycee room was opened up for meetings at no charge, it would result in a higher usage of the room, and the City would incur additional costs for maintenance. Council discussed the fact that all of the kids in the Little League lived in Arroyo Grande and that approximately 80% of the fees for recreation programs come back to the City. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked if Arroyo Grande Valley Little League was considered the City's home league. Director Hernandez responded yes. Mayor Lady moved to waive the fee request from Arroyo Grande Valley Little League for use of the Jaycee Roorr~ at the Soto Sports Complex in the amount of $315.

HUNT, CITY MANAGER~~ FE:OM: TERRY FIBICH, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND FIRq~ SI,;BJECT: APPROVAL OF ADA TRANSITION PLAN DATE: OCTOBER 14, 1997 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the Americans with D'isabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan. F~s'ND1NG: Tf~,:~ estimated cost to implement all the recommended changes in the Transition . Plan ranges from $180,000 to $310,000. These costs; which will occur over multiple fiscal years, coufd include the following sources of financing: • City funds; • ADA and HUD block grants; • State grants; • Tenant/lessee funds (e.g. Historical Society, etc.); • Service club and volunteer organization donations (drinking fountains, playground equipment, assistive listening devices, etc.). DISCUSSION: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 guarantees equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment, public and~ private services, transportation, and communications. Tc~ achieve this intent, all public agencies are required to complete several administrative measures to ensure complia~ce with the ADA, including the preparation of a Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. This means that all buildings and facilities must be reviewed to ensure that they do not discriminate ayainst persons with disabilities. The public agency must then modify, as soon as feasible, any building or facility that is determined to be inconsistent with ADA requirements. ~ As oart of the overall Self-Evaluation, a Transition Plan must contain the follo~~ving elements: - 1. A list of physical obstacles andlor bar~iers in the public agency's facilities that limit the accessibility of its programs, activities, or services to individuals with disabilities; 2. A detailed outline, describing the methods that will be used to correct, eliminate, or modify these obstacles. Such methods could include kiut are not limited to properly marked designated parking stalls, accessibility signage, access ramps, and pathways to and within buildings, accessible restrooms, and telecommunications with assisted listening systems, etc. (Attachment 2 of the ADA recommendations); 3. A schedule for taking the necessary steps to achieve compliance, including costs and timelines. Cost estimates for all Priority 1 items are approximately $80,000 to $130,000, all Priority 2 Items are approximately $30,000 to $60,000, and all Priority 3 Items are approximately $70,000 to $120,000; 4. If the time period for achieving compliance is more than one year, the plan must identify the interim steps that will be taken during each year of the transition period. Since the Plan proposed for Arroyo Grande is intended as a multi-year program, the Plan identifies the interim steps listed on the attached page ("Interim Recommendations"); 5. The name of the official responsible for the Plan's implementation and names of interested persons consulted: The proposed Transition Plan for the City contains the above mentioned elements. First Priority for implementation is the removal of barriers to access of City owned buildings, Second Priority is the removal of barriers within City owned buildings, ~ Third Priority is access to restroom facilities within City owned buildings. Implementation of the entire Transition Plan may be multi-year by identifying the interim steps taken during each year. Currently, work is taking place toward ADA compliance with the South County Historical Society improvements at So. Mason St. This work by the Historical Society accomplishes approximately $5,000 of the $80,000 to $130,000 identified as Priority One costs. High priority is recommended at the Council Chambers to label disabled parking . and remove barriers to access the building (e.g. new entry door meeting ADA requirements). This step of compliance is estimated to cost approximately $5,000 to $7,000. Additionafly, it is recommended that a legal second exit from the assembly area be constructed that compiles with the California~ Amended Un~form Building Code. This step is estimated to cost approximately $8,000 to $10,000. Staff will pursue compliance with the disabled parking issue this fiscal year. Staff wilf be requesting funding for the Chamber improvements as part of the FY 1998-99 budget process. CITY OF ARROYO GRA.NDE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 ~ . TRANSITION PLAN The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) sets extensive standards and requirements for the accessibility of public and private facilities and programs as set forth in the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). In addition, the ADA prohibits discrimination against disabled persons. Title II of the Act requires public entities to make their services, progams, and activities "readily available to and usable by individuals with disabilities." This part of the Act does not require that all facilities be made accessible; public entities may relocate services to accessible sites or remove architectural barriers to current facilities. On the basis of the regulations, the Public entity must prepaze a Transition Plan that: - 1. Identifies physical barriers in the public entity's facilities that limit the accessibility of its programs or activities to individuals with disabilities; 2. Describes in detail the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible; 3. Specifies the schedule for taking the steps necessary to achieve compliance; and 4. Indicates the official responsible for implementation of the plan. . Attachment 1 is an unplementation schedule of the modifications. The schedule recognizes the importance of the public's ability to modify priorities within that schedule, as well as the City's ability to fund those priorities. Attachment 2 is a listing of those items which if eliminated, would provide three categories of access to City provided services. The three categories of access barriers ue determined to be: a) barriers to buildings; b) barriers to services within buildings; and c) barriers to restroom facilities within buildings. Each of the barriers within each of the categories is listed with a specific method by which the barrier can be removed. It is also noted that removal of the barrier may not be necessary should the building become vacant or the service relocated to a facility fully ADA accessible. The City Official responsible for the implementation of the plan will be the City Manager or ~ his/her designee. C:\WORD~GENERALWDAEXADOC • ~ A.D.A.

SNODGRASS, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: CONFIRMATION OF ASSESSMENTS DATE: JUNE 8, 1999 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council: • Adopt a resolution confirming landscaping assessment for all parcels within Tract 1158; • Adopt a resolution confirming landscaping and lighting assessment for all parcels within Tract 1769. FUNDING: The San Luis Obispo County charge to collect the assessments on the tax roll is paid by the lot owners as part of the assessment. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the City. DISCUSSION: On June 9, 1992 Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 was created to provide landscaping and lighting improvement and maintenance for Tract 1769. The assessment was $100 per parcel located within Tract 1769 (a total of $3,000). The Tract 1769 landscaping and lighting assessment must be confirmed each year. As long as the assessment rates and methodology remain the same, this assessment complies with the provisions of Proposition 218. On May 28, 1996, at the request of the homeowners within Tract 1158, the City agreed to provide landscaping and related maintenance to a portion of the greenbelt and appurtenances located on Oak Park Boulevard for the benefit of parcels located within Tract 1158. The City Council and parcel owners agreed to a$60 per parcel City charge (for a total of $4,200) for this service. This assessment complies with the provision of Proposition 218. The Tract 1769 landscaping and lighting assessment and the Tract 1158 landscape maintenance charge will be added to the tax roll of the affected property owners and collected by the San Luis Obispo County Tax Collector.

HERNANDEZ, DIRECTOR PARKS AND RECREATION ~ SUBJECT: POLICY LANGUAGE FOR USE OF PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITiES DATE: JUNE 8, 1999 RECOMMENDATION: The Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that the City establish a policy regarding the rental of City parks and recreation facilities. FUNDING: A reduction in revenues may occur as a result of the proposed rental policy. Estimates based on three year past history of long term rentals would amount to a loss of approximately $1,400 annually. A cost of approximately $200 will be required for printing new rental forms. This cost can be accommodated with the current Parks and Recreation budget. ~ DISCUSSION: To ensure the use of City recreation facilities is consistent with the mission of the City's Parks and Recreation Department, the Parks and Recreation Commission at its May 12th meeting recommended a policy for facility rentals be established. tf adopted, the policy wvuld limit long-term rentals of facilities and prohibit business uses (such as political fundraising events) that are not consistent with the Department's mission. Limiting long-term rentals would increase the availability of recreation facilities and . therefore meet the needs of a greater segment of the community. In addition, the City has no policy defining facility uses. Establishing such a policy where none currently exists ensures uses by groups or organizations that are in concert with the mission of the Department. The following is proposed language for such a policy statement to be included in all future rental agreements: "Rental of City of Arroyo Grande Parks and Recreation facilities shall be ~consistent with the mission of the Parks and Recreation Department. The Department's mission is to provide high quality recreational and leisure service oriented activities and programs. Rental of the Elm Street Community Center or the City of Arroyo Grande and Woman's Club Community Center for longer than a one (1) year period of time will require City Council approval." STAFF REPORT: POLICY LANGUAGE FOR USE OF PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES JUNE 8, 1999 PAGE 2 Alternatives: The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration: . Approve the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation; . Do not approve the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation; . Modify as appropriate and approve the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation; or . Provide direction to staff.

FEE WAIVER REQUEST FOR USE OF A GROUP BARBECUE AREA AT STROTHER PARK - EQUAL SINGLES 60+: Dorothy Gardner, 383 Walnut, Arroyo Grande, President of Equal Singles 60+, gave a brief overview of the organization's request and noted the non-profit organization would be using a group barbecue area at Strother Park from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Brief discussion was held the regarding the possibility of switching the organization's scheduled date for the potluck to another day of the week, the last day of school for the Lucia Mar School District occurring on the same date, with classes at the high school being dismissed at 12 noon, and the organization not meeting all of the criteria for a fee waiver. ti : Upon motion of Commissioners Martin/Brown (Commissioners Martin, Brown, Vice Chair Borgman, and Chair Storton voting aye; Commissioner Lozano absent), the request for a fee waiver for use of the group barbecue area at StrotheG Park was denied. ~ B. POLIGY LANGUAGE FOR USE OF PARKS AND RE REATION FACILITIES: Director Hernandez reviewed the proposed policy language for use of parks and recreation facilities noting most cities have similar policies in place. Upon question, Director Hernandez responded a church organization currently has an agreement to use the Elm Street Community Center through the rest of this calendar year. Brief discussion was held regarding fee waiver requests, stricter scrutiny at the staff level of requests coming before the Commission, and additional information given to organizations regarding guidelines for fee waiver requests being granted. Action: Upon motion of Commissioners Martin/Brown (Commissioners Martin, Brown, Vice Chair Borgman, and Chair Storton voting aye; Commissioner Lozano absent) the policy language for use of parks and recreation facilities was recommended for approval. Staff will prepare a report and present it to the City Council for final approval. 9. COMMISSION/STAFF COMMENTS: A. ,~OINT CITY COUNCIL MEETING THURSDAY MAY 13 1999 REGARDING CONSOLIDATION OF SOUTH COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES: Director Hernandez reported that he would be , attending the Joint City Councils meeting regarding delivery of parks and recreation services and that no decisions on consolidation were to be made at that meeting. Commissioners were welcome to attend; however, Director Hernandez would be giving a report at the June Commission meeting. B. CHAIR STORTON: Chair Storton reported a bill before the State regarding ' bonds being issued to fund City park development from the Public Resources Commission. Chair Storton suggested letters to be sent to local legislators voicing the Commission's support of the bill. C. COMMISSIONER MARTIN: Commissioner Martin requested to have the unsightly weeds trimmed at the former Wayside Park area and noted pedestrians have been using the area even though no pedestrian walkway exists on that portion of the street. Since this intersection is a major entrance to the City, it should be an attractive reflection of the community. Commissioner Martin also reported that youth sports groups using the Soto Sports Complex had heard that a registered sex offender was loitering near the Complex and parents were concerned. Commissioner Martin also stated how pleased she was with the appearance of the new Don Roberts field.

HERNANDEZ, DIRECTOR PARKS AND RECREATION ~ SUBJECT: REVISIONS TO L~ASE AGREEAAENTS FOR CITY-OWNED PROPERTY AT 126 SOUTH MASON AND PARCEL FOR SANTA MANUELA SCHOOLHOUSE DATE: JUNE 8, 1999 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council approve revisions to the Lease Agreements for the property at 126 Mason Street and for the relocation of the Santa Manuela Schoolhouse. FUNDING: There is no impact on the FY 1998-99 or 1999-00 budgets. The Lease Agreements call for a payment of $1 (one dollar) per year for each Lease. Total revenues to the General Fund would be $2 (two dollars) per year for a minimum of 20 years. DISCUSSION: At the April 28, 1998 City Council meeting, the Council stated its interest in making the terms of the Lease for the house on 126 Mason Street and the Lease for the adjacent parcel to be used for the relocation of Santa Manuela School run concurrently. Due to the Leases addressing finro separate issues, the first being a structure and land, the other for the land only, it is not recommended to combine them into one Lease. These Lease Agreements were entered into with the South County Historical Society to preserve structures of historical significance in the City. The Lease terms to the original Lease for 126 South Mason Street (Heritage House) signed June 1, 1997, will be revised to coincide with the terms in the Lease Agreement adopted by the Council on November 24, 1998 for the adjacent parcel that will be the future location of the Santa Manuela Schoolhouse. Both Leases will now run concurrently. Staff is recommending the Lease Agreement for the relocation of Santa Manuela School be amended to show the location as Lot 2 of Block 6 of the Short, Mason, and Whiteley Subdivision (Exhibit A). The current Lease identifies Lot 1 for the school. Recent research has shown that a substantial portion of Lot 1 is currently unusable since it has eroded into the creek in the period of time since the parcel map was created over 50 years ago. A detailed engineering study would be. required to determine long term stability of Lot 1. Based on the aforementioned, staff is recommending the house be placed on Lot 2(Attachment 2). STAFF REPORT: REVISIONS TO LEASE AGREEMENT FOR CITY-OWNED PROPERTY AT 126 SOUTH MASON AND PARCEL FOR SANTA MANUELA SCHOOLHOUSE. JUNE 8, 1999 PAGE 2 Based on the new revisions to the Lease Agreement, the City retains use of approximately 1.37 acres of its property with approximately .75 acres under lease to the Historical Society (Lots 2, 11, and 12).

FISCAL IMPACT: The Preliminary City Budget for FY 1999-2000 contains a proposal for the expenditure of 550,000 for the maintenance of Police Department vehicles. DISCUSSION: Historically, the City has utilized various regional automotive repair services to perform routine maintenance and major repair services to Police Department vehicles. These services are currently being provided at standard retail pricing. Vehicle maintenance costs have risen steadily over the past years (FY 95-96, $37,246; FY 96-97, 544,686; FY 97-98, 544,146; and FY 98-99, approximately $52,000). In an effort to be more cost efficient, staff proposes seeking vehicle bids for a vehicle maintenance contract for the police fleet for the next fiscal year. This would allow staff the ability to evaluate the cost effectiveness of utilizing a contract approach to vehicle maintenance. If successful, staff will recommend expansion of the program to include all City vehicles the following fiscal year. Prior to 1991, many routine vehicle maintenance services and some minor repairs were conducted "in-house" by City staff. Due to the fiscal crisis in FY 1991-92, the City eliminated one of the automotive mechanic positions and all maintenance services to the Police Department fleet were performed by outside vendors. Even though a position has been added back to vehicle maintenance, given both the growth of the CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS FOR CONTRACT SERVICES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES FOR FY 1999-2000 MAY 25, 1999 PAGE 2 City's overall fleet and the increasing technical complexities of the vehicles, it is necessary to utilize outside vendors to maintain the various City vehicles. The attached specifications reflect State and City requirements relating to contract vehicle maintenance. Alternatives: The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration: - Authorize staff to solicit bids for maintenance of Police Department vehicles during FY 1999-2000; - Deny the authorization to solicit bids for Police Department vehicle maintenance; - Provide direction to staff.

HUNT, EXECUTIVE DIRECTO~~ SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN PLEMENTATION STRATEGY DATE: JUNE 8, 1999 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Board approve the Redevelopment Plan Implementation Strategy. FUNDING: As proposed in the Implementation Plan, the near term (FY1999-00) cost is estimated at $25,000. Of this total, the Agency currently budgets for the Business-Visitation Program (valued at $2,500); therefore, the net fiscal impact for FY1999-00 is $22,500. DISCUSSION: In July 1996, the City of Arroyo Grande approved a Redevelopment Feasibility Study designed to provide the Planning Commission and City Council with sufficient information to determine whether or not the special powers of a redevelopment agency would be helpful in the City's effort to: i) solidify its financial base; ii) upgrade the infrastructure and aesthetic characteristics of the Village and other commercial districts within the City; iii) create additional employment opportunities Citywide; iv) promote new and retain existing industry and commerce within the community; and upgrade existing and provide new housing opportunities in the City. After review and consideration of that Study and public comment, the City Council elected to activate the City's Redevelopment Agency and begin procedures to adopt a redevelopment plan to provide the newly-activated Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency with the legal authority and planning basis to implement redevelopment activities within those portions of the City ultimately included within a redevelopment project area. Consequently, the City Council activated the Agency by City Ordinance No. 479 C.S.-on August 27, 1996; in May of 1997 the Agency adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area") by City Ordinance No. 487 C.S. _ REDEVELOPMENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVAL OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY JUNE 8, 1999 PAGE 2 The Project Area is approximately 510 acres in size and includes contiguous parcels of land located north and south of State Highway 101. The Redevelopment Plan does not contain its own land use categories or restrictions, but rather uses those zoning categories and land use restrictions found in the City's Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. Therefore, it is important that all activities contemplated under this Operations Plan, as well as the Redevelopment Plan itself, comply with the City's Zoning Ordinance and its General Plan. The Agency has proceeded to the next step in its redevelopment process, which is to determine how it can identify, and then maximize, the redevelopment opportunities and fiscal resources that will be available to it over the remaining 29-year effective life of the Plan. Toward this end, the Agency has commissioned Urban Futures, Inc. (UFI) to develop a Redevelopment Plan Implementation Strategy. The Strategy is divided into three major components: i) an Implementation Operations Plan; ii) a Resource Guide; and iii) Attachments. IMPLEMENTATION OPERATIONS PLAN The Operations Plan is a"road map" of programs and projects the Agency can institute over the near- mid- and long-term in order to effectuate the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan. While the Agency has the right and a responsibility to consider redevelopment initiatives throughout the Project Area, the Project Area is too large for the Agency to consider immediate physical rehabilitation and redevelopment of the entire Project Area. Such an implementation strategy would result in too diffuse an expenditure of limited resources. A far more efficient and fiscally responsible way for the Agency to operate is for it to develop general programmatic economic development activities and to focus initial investment in those parts of the Project Area that fit within certain "Categories of High Potential" for economic development activity. The Agency should concentrate special emphasis on those areas where redevelopment opportunities are most likely to occur. REDEVELOPMENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVAL OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY JUNE 8, 1999 PAGE 3 In this regard, it must be stressed that the total amount of tax increment funds the Agency will collect from within the Project Area in the first years of implementation are limited. The Agency must be especially cautious during these early years to focus its resources on projects and grants that will enable it to maximize the return on its investment so that it can parley early returns into implementation of subsequent, broader scope projects. This will ensure the continuation of the investment/redevelopment process. Additionally, the Operations Plan must always be flexible enough so that the Agency can act quickly and decisively to assist in a project's development when unforeseen opportunity avails itself anywhere within the Project Area. Implementation of the Operations Plan is predicated on the financial capacity of the Agency and is built on the following format: GENERAL FINANCIAL AND PROGRAMMATIC ASSESSMENT As part of the Operations Plan, a general financial and potential programmatic assessment was conducted. Primarily due to lagging appreciation in property values, the Agency will realize only modest flows of tax increment through the initial years of the plan. The Aqencv will not be in a qosition to capitalize the Project Area through a tax increment financina until FY2000-01 with a projected issuance occurring in the fall of 2000. The estimated tax increment flow of $82,661 in FY2000-01 will allow the Agency to issue tax-exempt, five- (5) year notes that will net the Agency approximately $1.3 million. For FY1999-00, the Agency must rely on the annual tax increment flows of approximately $33,000, which includes an estimated $8,000 in the Agency's low- and moderate-income housing fund. This leaves the Agency approximately $25,000 for nonhousing-related a~tivities. The Agency's longer programmatic and project activities will depend upon the Agency's financial position commencing in FY2005-06 (estimated). Given these financial constraints, the Operations Plan is developed around the Agency's ability to fund needed projects and programs. NEAR-TERM IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM These activities are planning- and marketing-based, are not capital intensive, and can be implemented during FY1999-00 and the first half of FY2000-01. In many instances, these activities rely on committees and volunteers for actual implementation and provide the forum for community input, clarification of community goals and objectives, and development of needed base studies. These activities should also be ongoing through the life of the redevelopment plan and are designed to provide the basis for more capital intensive, economic development programs and projects to be developed over the mid- and long-term. REDEVELOPMENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVAL OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY JUNE 8, 1999 PAGE 4 MID-TERM IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Commencing with the potential issuance of a tax-exempt financing in the fall of 2000, the Agency will be able to undertake a modest level of more capital intensive projects pertaining to marketing, business development, restoration and rehabilitation of existing structures, street beautification, landscaping, and small-scale public works improvements. The timing of mid-term activities is predicated on the expenditure rate of the estimated $1.3 million note proceeds obtained by the Agency in the fall of 2000. Mid-term activities are also more programmatic than site specific, flexible in design, and may continue throughout the life of the Redevelopment Plan. These activities are geared to assist the economic viability of the entire Project area and, in particular, four Principal Improvement Zones identified in the Plan (Grand Avenue, The Village, EI Camino Real, and Traffic Way). LONG-TERM IMPLEMENTATION PLAN These activities tend to be more site specific and large public works based. They will require a greater amount of public capitalization. These activities are more complicated, expensive, and contingent on the financial strength of the Agency and private market forces. FY1999-00 BUDGET If the Council approves the Redevelopment Plan Implementation Strategy as proposed by Urban Futures, there is a$25,000 (net $22,500) estimated cost for FY1999-00 activities. Rather than make the appropriation of $22,500 at this time, staff is recommending the Board add the funding at the time the specific program is approved/implemented. By taking this approach, it does not add an additional $22,500 to the City/Agency Cooperative Agreement until such funding is required. RESOURCE GUIDE If the Operations Plan is a road map to a certain destination, then the Guide is intended to be a catalog of various vehicles the Agency can use to arrive at that destination. The Guide will empower the Agency to choose the correct vehicle for the correct job. It is intended to provide the Agency with a general discussion of the redevelopment process and practice and to serve as a practical reference guide for Agency staff and Board _ REDEVELOPMENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVAL OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY JUNE 8, 1999 PAGE 5 Members. The Guide will be useful to Agency staff and Board Members during all phases of the Redevelopment Plan Implementation Plan process. Together, the Operations Plan and Guide will provide the Agency the map and the vehicle to achieve its immediate and intermediate goals and objectives. ATTACHMENTS This section of the Plan provides: a Goals and Objectives statement, photographic surveys of Key and Secondary Sites, the Agency's previously adopted Programs and Projects List, and the Owners, Businesses, and Tenants Participation and Re-entry Rules. Alternatives The following alternatives are provided for the Board's consideration: 1. Approve the Implementation Plan; 2. Modify as appropriate the Implementation Plan; 3. Reject the Implementation Plan; or 4. Provide direction to staff. jv 10.b. ~ PRRO~~ ~ cp ~ MICORPOqATED ~O MEMORANDUM C1 rn ic ,Rxr ~o. ~9» . c4~~FOR~~P TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: ROBERT L.

COMPLETION OF A STATE CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM IS REQUIRED (11/02/98) ~ pRROy~ o ~p ~ INCORPOAATED u ° PRESS RELEASE ~c JULY 10. 1911 * c4~~FOR~~P ISSUE DATE: IMMEDIATE RELEASE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZES FORMATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TASK FORCE; TASK FORCE MEMBERS SOUGHT ' The City Council, at its meeting of April 13`~, authorized the formation an Economic Development Task Force. The goal of the Task Force is to develop a strategy to ensure the City's economic vitality without reducing the quality of the community's environment. The composition of the Task Force will include the following: • One City Council Member, • One City Planning Commissioner, • Two representatives from the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Chamber Chief Executive Officer, • Three representatives from Arroyo Grande City staff, • One Lucia Mar Unified School Board Member and the District Superintendent, • Agribusiness representative, • Utilities representative, • Health Care representative, • Financial representative, • Two representatives at large. The work effort of the Task Force will involve the review of economic development plans from other communities and previous marketing and economic opportunities studies conducted by the City of Arroyo Grande. Drawing from those documents, the Task Force will develop a Draft Economic ~ Development Strategic Plan unique to the City of Arroyo Grande. The Task Force will work closely with the City's Long Range Plan Committee and Core Outreach Team to ensure consistency with the City's General Plan Update. Once the Task Force completes a draft plan, it will be presented to the City Council for review and approval. Citizens are being sought to fill the agribusiness, utilities, health care, financial, and at-large representatives. If interested, applications can be obtained at the Chamber Office, 800-A West Branch Street, and at City Hall, 214 East Branch Street. The Task Force will conduct its initial meeting once the aforementioned positions are filled upon approval of the City Council. /'~U(..'~e..~J~ ~ _ ! l ~,l.ki1~ . ROBERT L.

It is apparent that over the years it has been an important subject, judging by the pounds of materials we have in front of us. The City has spent thousands of dollars, along with matching grants, and private sector money to accomplish these various efforts. ~Iowever; we feel that the establishment of the task force, would benefit from guidance of a • professional economic development director. As we understand it, the position ofEconomic Development Director was approved last yeaz and is funded in the current budget. It seems that the timing would be perfect to bring that individual on board to insure the proper staf~'time and follow through of any recommendations by an Economic Development Task Force. For these reasons, the Chamber recommends that an Economic Devetopment Director be.hired by the city ASAP. In fact, we recommend t6at that position be filled before estabtishing the Economic Development Task Force. The Chamber again recommends that the consultant's scope of work on the General Plan be expanded to include the preparation of an Economic Strategic Plan, the Economic Element for the General Plan, along with the Fiscal Economic Analysis. This document could then be brought back to the Task Force for review and comment, befare going to the City Council for action. We recommend that beforc thc Task Force is cstablished, we have spec~c policies for the composition of its members. In order to bring a balanced mix of individuals to the table, that shaze an interest in the economic health of the community, we recommend the following composition for the Task Force: • City Leadership: One City Council representative . ~ & One Planning Commissioner (2) • Chamber Leadership: Two representatives from the Cha.mber ~ Board of Directors, plus the Chamber C.E.O. (3) • City Staff: Three representatives from the Arroyo Grande City Staff, ( City Manager, Finance D'uector, Community Development Director) (3) • School District Representatives: Superintendent and a School Board Member (2) • Agribusiness Representative (1) ~ • Utilities Representative (1) • Health Care Representative (1) .

JUIY 10. tilt * ~ ~ c4~~FOR~~P • TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: ROBERT L. HUNT, CITY MANAGER ~ ~ SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO FORM AN E ONOMIC TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN DATE: APRIL 13, 1999 RECOMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council authorize the formation of an Economic Task Force and select a Council Member to serve thereon. FUNDING: Outside of staff time, there is minimal fiscal impact pe~taining to the Task Force. Implementation of an Economic Development Plan may have fiscal impacts (staffing, promotional efforts, incentive programs). The scope of such impacts has not been determined at this time. DISCUSSION: At the Council meeting of March 23, 1999, Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara, during Council Communications, discussed a meeting he had chaired earlier that day, which generally addressed the need to establish a foundation for responsible economic growth in Arroyo Grande. The agenda, background material, and roster of the aforementioned meeting are attached for the Council's review. The outcome of the meeting was a consensus on the first two (2) objectives identified in the handout. Those objectives are: 1. Define and determine the need for an Economic Task Force for Arroyo Grande; 2. Define and determine the need for an Economic Development Plan for Arroyo Grande. ~ Should the Council agree to authorize the formation of an Economic Task Force, it is proposed the composition of the Task Force be determined.in the same manner as the General Plan Update Core Outreach Team. Staff will solicit participation from a wide range of interested parties; however, the actual makeup of the Task Force will be determined by those who have a genuine interest in developing an economic strategy for Arroyo Grande and the willingness to see the task through to completion. CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION TO FORM AN ECONOMIC TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN APRIL 13, 1999 PAGE 2 ~ Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara's handout identifies representatives from the City Council, City staff, Chamber of Commerce, Economic Vitality Corporation, and Arroyo Linda Crossroads as key Task Force participants. The initial Task Force members would include those persons in attendance at the March 23~d meeting. With the assistance of the Economic Vitality Corporation, a number of economic development plans will be used as templates. Rather than "reinventing the wheel," the effort will be to take from other plans those items that are applicable to Arroyo Grande and to add those items/issues unique to the community. Once the Task Force completes the Economic Development Plan, it will be presented to the City Council for review and approvaL The creation of an Economic Development Plan dovetails with previous work conducted by the Chamber, the City's Business Development Marketing Strategy approved in 1998, the 1995 Economic Opportunities Analysis, and the current Small Business Development Grant being prepared by Applied Development Economics (reference attachments). At this time, staff is requesting Council authorization to form the Task Force and to select a Council Member to serve thereon. Alternatives The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration: 1. Approve staff's recommendation; 2. Reject staff s recommendation; 3. Modify as appropriate and approve staffs recommendation; or 4. Provide direction to staff.

FUNDING: There is no fiscal impact to the City to adopt the attached Resolution. All costs associated with the submittal of the application are the responsibility of the Dixson Ranch Agricultural Preserve. DISCUSSION: This request for State Department of Conservation funding is being prepared by the Coastal San Luis Resource Conservation District and American Farmland Trust on behalf of the Dixson Ranch Agricultural Preserve. As part of the application, the State requires a resolution of support from the local unit of government. The State Agricultural Land Stewardship Program provides grants towards purchase of permanent conservation easements for protection of agricultural lands. The Dixson Ranch is zoned Agriculture and is an Agricultural Preserve (Refer to location map). Submittal of this application on behalf of the Dixson Ranch may be done independently from the recent joint City/County ALSP application. That grant application was designed to explore opportunities to establish a non-profit agricultural land trust within the Arroyo Grande Valley. As reflected in the accompanying "Statement of Intent and Request for Resolution", the City's General Plan is strongly supportive of preserving agricultural lands within and adjacent to the City. Towards this end, the General Plan supports securing funds for agricultural preservation, including acquisition of development rights. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: This project application is categorically exempt (Class 25) from the California Environmental Quality Act. Attachments: ~ Resolution Approving Grant Application 1.

The land is also in an area that possesses the necessary market, infrastructure, and agricultural support services, and the surrounding parcel sizes and land uses will support long-term commercial agricultural production. (b) The City of Arroyo Grande has a General Plan which demonstrates a long- term commitment to agricultural land conservation. This commitment is reflected in the goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures of the Plan, as they relate to the area of Arroyo Grande where the easement acquisition is proposed. (c) The grant proposal is consistent with the Arroyo Grande General Plan, and the City Council of Arroyo Grande, by this Resolution, approves the grant proposal. (d) Without conservation the land proposed for protection is likely to be converted to nonagricultural use in the foreseeable future.

The terins of each easement are uniquely tailored to the particular property and the inter- ests of the individual owner. Generally, an easement is a lengthy legal document and is most often prepared with assistance of an attorney. A conservation easement is typically deeded either through donation or sale, voluntarily by the landowner to a qualified private organization (e.g., a land trust), or, in some cases, to public agencies who will assume responsibility for its management. The titIe to the property remains with the original owner and may be transferred or sold to another entity, but the easement "runs with the land". It is recorded with the County Recorder, and is shown by any title report on the property along with other easements or recorded restrictions such as access rights, utilities, etc.. 5.4.1.1 Easements as part of "bundle of righ~ In order to understand the concept of a conservation easement, it is necessary to under- stand the nature of "development rights" in property. Development rights are similar to mineral rights, access rights, timber rights, or other "partial rights" to property that can be exercised by the owner or sold, leased, or otherwise transferred to another. A conservation easement is intended to extinguish or limit the owner's right to develop the property for any use that would be incompatible with the terms of the easement. Incompatible uses prohib- ited or limited by an easement might include, for example, the right to subdivide the prop- erty or to build homes or other structures on it; the right to cut or clear significant vegeta- tion; the right to mine the surface of the land; or the right to inundate the property with a reservoir or for flood control purposes. Granting a conservation easement does n~c.~ "transfer" the development rights to the organi- zation that holds the easement, in the sense that it would not permit the easement holder nor any other party to exercise the development rights. Rather, the easement grants to the holder the right to r v the owner or any other subsequent owner from developing the property in a manner that would interfere with the purpose of the easement. Conservation easements can be condemned by a public agency, in theory just as any real property or interest in property is subject to condemnation powers. However, they are al- most always donated or sold voluntarilv to a private organization by a landowner who ~ . 5-10 COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ' City of Arroyo Grande wishes to assure that valuable natural resources of the property are protected for future generations. The terms of an easement almost always specify that it runs in perpetuity, be- cause provisions of State and Federal law require a perpetual term in order to qualify for tax benefits (see below). The temunology that surrounds this topic is often confusing; one sometimes hears such terms as "conservation restriction", "deed restriction", "scenic easement", . or "open space easement". These are important distinctions in law, however, for State ~and Federal ~ statutes provide for different tax treatment and regulatory standards to be used for differ- ent types of restrictions.l 5.4.1.2 Tax Benefits The impetus to a property owner to grant or sell a conservation easement is typically two- fold: First, there is usually a charitable intent that is motivated by a strong attachment to the land and its productivity, scenic values, historical character, etc. Secondly, a financial incentive is also present in many transactions, involving reduced income or estate taxes or direct compensation to the landowner through a purchase program (see below). Income tax benefits to a landowner are available under both Federal and State law, and involve the opportunity to deduct the appraised value of the easement from adjusted gross income as a charitable deduction. The estate tax liability is also lowered, because an appraisal of a decedent's estate must by law consider the effect of a conservation easement on the value of the real property that is part of an estate? Only certain types of real property--i.e., that which holds outstanding conservation values-- would qualify for such favorable tax treatment under State or Federal law. Almost all of the land within the CASP Study Area, however, would appear to qualify for a conservation easement under the conservation purposes test of Federal regulations.3 The CASP Study Area is almost entirely open space land that is planned to be preserved "pursuant to a 1 An "open space easement", for example, is not required to have perpetual existence, although it usually is. As with a Williamson Act contract (see Section 2.12 on page 12 above), an open space easement may be limited in term to 10 or 20 years, although it is automatically renewed unless one of the parties to it (the property owner or the agency administering it) elects to "non-renevW' the easement. In addition, an open space easement or scenic easement is held by a goverament agency in California, and the landowner is automatically entided to favorable property tax treatment. A conscrvation easement is allowed to ~e granted to a qualified non-psofit orgaaization, but it does not entitte the owner automatically to reduced property taxes. A conservation easement is not required to be in perpctuity, although it usually is. 2 Typically, a conservation easement on agricultural properiy within a growing area will reduce the value of such property by 35-75°~b, or even more. By reducing the appraised value and towering estate tax liability, it is much more ]ikely that agricultural property would be able to remain in the hands of a farming family rather than being sold to outside partics who often intend to coavert such land to other uses. t, 3 See Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Ch. l, §1.17QA-14(d)(4)(rii) Q . 5-11 _ COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ` City o(Arroyo Graade clearly delineated state or local governmental conservation policy and will yield a signifi- cant public benefit." Both the "clearly delineated governmental policy" test and the "significant public benefit" tests must be met independently; the Code of Federal Regulations spells out examples for each. These examples appear to indicate that a conseivarion easement on prime agricul- tural land within the Arroyo Grande Valley would meet both tests, since the State, County, and City all have clearly'delineated policies favoring the preservation of agricultural land and since such preservation would provide significant public benefits for future gene: a- tions. ~ 4.1.3 Purchase Prngrams Acquisition of conservation easements need not depend entirely on the availability of charitable donations by landowners who are inclined to impose an easement on their prop- erty only for the income or estate tax benefits that may be available. A successful conser- vation easement program should aiso inciude a program of fund-raising to enable the City, County, or private land trust to .purchase easements from willing sellers. In fact, more acreage could be preserved through an easement program that is backed up with a sub- stantial acquisition fund than one which is exclusively based upon voluntary donations. Any program that uses an acquisition fund to purchase conservation easements could be termed a"Purchase of Development Rights" or PDR program. As conservation easements are acquired, the development rights of the selling property are effectively extinguished or limited by the terms of the easement. Again, it must be noted that the acquiring entity does not acquire these development rights in order to exercise them, but rather to prevent them from being exercised. In a PDR Program, the acquiring entity has several options as to how to proceed in any individual transaction. It is not always necessary to pay fuIl market value of an easement, and in fact many easements could be acquired through a"bargain sale" process. A bargain sale occurs whenever a property owner sells an easement (or fee title) for a substantial dis- count, typically about 50%. When this occurs, the remaining value i.e., the difference between fair market value and selling price can often be treated as a charitable donation and deducted from the taxable income of the seller. This deduction is limited to an amount not to exceed 30% of the udjusted gross income of the taxpayer, but to the extent that its valued exceeds that limit, the remaining amount can be applied against subsequent annual t~ liabilities for up to six succeeding years. Q . 5-12 COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ' City of Arroyo Grande 5.4.1.4 Monitoring and Enforcement of an Easement The agency or organization that accepts a conservation easement must plan for its monitor- ing and enforcement. This is a long-term indeed, perpetual responsibiiity, and is not to be taken lightly. The costs of monitoring can be reduced by use of trained volunteers, and are enhanced by a cooperative attitude on the part of the landowner. Should a dispute arise, however, that requires an enforcement action by the organization administering the ~ easement, the organization may have to exercise legal remedies in court such as an injunc- tion. In such cases, the costs for legal representation can be quite significant. Fortunately, the record of conservation easement enforcement is a good one. Very few court cases have ever emerged as a result of a dispute over a landowner's compliance with the requirements of an easement. 5.4.2 Prncednre for Initiating an Easement Acquisition/Purchase of Development Rights Program The procedure for initiating a conservation easement/PDR program for the Arroyo Grande Valley would depend to some degree upon whether or not a land trust is involved, as proposed in Section 5.3 above. The involvement of a land trust either a new organiza- tion or an existing trust such as the Land Conservancy would alleviate the need for either the County or the City to take action on this program independently. The procedure de- scribed below makes reference to either case, however. A conservation easement/PDR program could begin with the following steps: 1. Develop a model easement that is agreeable to all parties (City, County, and/or land trust} and which e~resses the general language desired for the Study Area. A sample easement is provided in the Appendix to this report, with draft lan- guage in it that could apply to conserve typical farmland in the Valley. 2. The City, County, and/or land trust should establish a fund for the purchase of conservation easements, a"PDR" or Purchase of Development Rights fund. The PDR fund could be initiated with private fund-raising efforts to generate voluntary contributions by individuals and local organizations and the business community. In addition to private efforts, however, the program sponsors should also investigate public revenue sources. Given the current dire situation with respect to State and local funding, of course, it is unrealistic to expect that a PDR fund could be funded from either City or County general funds. Some alternative sources of public funds for a PDR fund could include the following: • Grants or loans from State or Federal agencies, particularly to the extent that ~,Y, ~ such funding is available from measures such as Proposition 70 in 1988, or a ~ . 5-13 COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ' City ot Arroyo Grande successor bill to AB 655 which failed passage in the 1990 California Legisla- - ture; • Proceeds of a sale of local bonds, such as a general obligation or special assessment bond, including Mello-Roos bonds (a particular type of special assessment bond); • Revenues from a special countywide tax such as a sales tax, excise tax, real ' estate transfer tax, or other similar measure; or • Mitigation fees on development projects proposed for prime agricultural lands, where authorized either by the City or County. To date, no such mitigation fees have been imposed by either jurisdiction, but other communities in California have used them and established the precedent~. In addition, it is conceivable that other types of development fees or annexation fees may be employed, to the degree that such fees can meet the "nexus" test established in case laws. The above list is not meant to be all-inclusive; there may be still other revenue sources that deserve to be investigated. 3. Make a joint announcement to the property owners that the County, City, and/or land trust (as appropriate) would be willing to accept conservation easements on productive familand. This announcement could be made by a letter or flyer to all la.ndowners in the Study Area, or to a sub-set of owners based upon certain criteria. For example, the announcement could go only to owners with existing Williamson Act contracts, those located outside of the City limits, only to those outside of the City's Sphere of Influence, etc. The announcement should emphasize the voluntary nature of the program, and describe some of the tax advantages available to a property owner who wishes to establish a conservation easement on qualified farmland. 4. Any voluntary easement transactions that result from this announcement should then be negotiated between the landowner and the entity that will ultimately as- sume responsibility for the easement (either the City, County, or private land trust). 4 Mitigation fees for farmland preservation have been employed in at least two Northern California counties, Alameda County (in Livermore Vatley Eo proted wine grape produdion) and in Solano County where a joint program with the City of Fair6eld funded a greenbelt pwchase using a special type of special assessment catled "Mello-Roos" bonds. 5 For a complete discussion of the "nexus" issue related to farmland conversion mitigation fees, see "Protecting Farmland Through Impact Fees in California by Anne Mudge, ~.and Use Law, January 1992. ~ 5-14 COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ~ City of Arroyo Grande 5. As funds become available for use in the PDR Program, the City, County, or pri- vate land trust should continue to initiate and follow up on contacts among landowners to explore opportunities for voluntary purchase of easements. In this effort, a set of criteria should be established that provide a focus for the acquisi- tion efforts; any PDR fund is likely to have far greater demands upon it than available funding. Accordingly, it is only logical that an acquisition program should be focussed on the most important land in order to make best use of any ' available acquisition monies. Thus, the fund should be restricted only for use with prime or unique agricultural lands, floodplains, scenic areas, etc. 5.4.3 Analysis Of Criteria A purchase of development rights/conservation easement program would be likely to have the following characteristics, relative to the criteria established in Section 5.1 above. 1. Comprehensiveness Good to Excellent: The acquisition of conservation ease- ments would meet a variety of desirable goals: Land would be permanently conserved for agricultural use, and ease- ments can also be "tailored" to address other values that might be present in any individual property (e.g. scenic value, wildlife habitat, etc.). Additionally, the program can offer landowners some direct or indirect compensation for volun- tary sale of their develo ment ri hts. ~ . 5-15 COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ' City of Arroyo Grande 2. Consistency with Excellent. A PDR/easement program would be consistent , Overall Community with the community general plans, if the program is operated Plans and Policies properly. 1'he City of Arroyo Grande Open Space and Conservation Element calls for implementation actions that include "worl~ng... to secure funds for the preservation of agricultural lands within and adjacent to the City of Arroyo ~ ~ ~ . Grande;.. (and) encouraging the County to accept dedica- tions of agricultural and other open space lands as a means of ensuring their long-term retention in agricultural or open space use; and/or establishing an agricultural and open space land preservation program to acquire development rights." Ideally, the operator of an easement acquisition/PDR pro- gram would be very familiar with City and County planning policies, and would select acquisition targets accordingly. Easements should only be acquired or accepted where the general plan states clear support for continued, long-term agricultural use of the property in question. (Fortunately, virtually all of the CASP Study Area would fall into that cat- egory). In addition, it should be recalled that clear public policy support for open space preservation is a vitally impor- tant factor in determining the eligibility to the IRS of any donarion or 'bargain sale" of development rights as a chari- table contribution. 3. Fiscal Feasibility Fair to Poor. A PDR program would be very difficult to es- tablish at this time due to very tight ~scal constraints facing the State and local govemments. In the future, however, a statewide or countywide bond issue may be passed which contains funding for agricultural lands preservation. If so, it is quite possible that the CASP Study Area would be eligible for fundin from such a bond issue. 4. Ease of Implementation Fair. An easement acquisition/PDR program is relatively easy to elcplain to the general public, but requires a well- organized, concerted effort by a number of individuals and agencies to "get off the ground". Again, constraints of fund- ing and staff time would place a severe practical impediment toward such an effort. (See recommended actions below). ~ . 5-16 _ COORDINATED AGWCULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM ~ City of Arroyo Grande . 5. Effectiveness Excellent. If conservarion easements are well-written, and if ~ the holding entity and the landowner have a cooperative re- lationship, easements can be very effective in meeting the goal of protecting agricultural land against encroachment. Indeed, a conservation easement is probably the most effec- tive land use measure in the entire repertoire of techniques ~ ' that are used for preserving agricultural land.. If properly . written and implemented, they have little "downside" in term.s of their effectiveness. Measure of Performance: In terms of a measure of performance, a conservation ease- ment strategy could employ a very simple index: The num- ber of acres that are subject to an agricultural conservation easement. This measure might be somewhat misleading, however, because the 1 ion of any acreage that is pro- tected may be a vitally important factor in determining whether or not the program is effective. An easement pro- gram might be judged a major success, for example, if it protects a key parcel adjacent to the City's Urban Reserve Line, thereby reinforcing City and County general plans even if the parcel is only a few acres in size and even if it is relatively erpensive to purchase the easement. On the other hand, an easement program that protects hundreds of acres in the farthest and most remote area of the Valley might not be judged to be as successful, even if the easement(s) for this land were purchased at a lower price, because all of the intervenin land would still be wlnerable to conversion. 5.4.4 Summary and Action Recommendations A conservation easement acquisition strategy is a highiy desirable part of any comprehen- sive program to protect agricultural Iands within the Arroyo Grande Valley. Coupled with a"PDR" fund for purchasing development rights from willing sellers, this strategy could be very effective. If sufficient funding is obtained, the program also offers the very positive advantage of being more equitable in its treatment of property rights. Any agricultural lands protection prograsn, by its very nature, limits the full exercise of property rights. At least with a conservation easement program, there is the possibility of direct (i.e., PDR funding) or indirect (income and estate tax benefits from easement donations) compensa- tion to landowners. The recommended actions on this program item for City and County governments as a re- sult of this CASP study are as follows: ~ ~ 5-17 COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT PROGRAM . City of Arroyo Grande , Recommended Action #4• After staff review, and review by their Planning Commusions, the City Council and Board of Supervisors should adopt a"model agricultural corrservation easement" for use in the Arroyo Grande Yattey. (If a land trust is formed or designated to work in the Arroyo Grande Yalley, thu step can be de- ferred to the Board of Tiustees of that organization). TT~u model easement would then serve as the basis ~'or negotiations with individual property owners . Recommended Action #S• The City, County, and Land Tiust (if arry) should seek funding sources to purchase cortservation easements from willing sellers--i. e., a Purchase of Development Rights or 'PDR" program. As part of the process of requesting suclt fundin~ criteria should be established for identifying priorities for acqursition. 77iese criteriq and the specific priorities that result from their use, should be reviewed by repre- sentatives of the City, County, and tand trust (if any), Those landowners with property that meets those criteria should then be notified of the availability of the PDR Program, including limitations as to the amount of such fundin~ the timing for its availability, and the manner in which the easement program would be implemented and monitorecL Further action on the easement/PDR program should follow, based upon the interest among landowners that results from these steps. These actions would include negotiating the easement acquisition; recording of the easement(s); and monitoring. ~ ~ 5-18 pRRO 11~~¦ o~ ~ INCORPORATED ~ Z MEMORANDUM ~ ~~~Y ,o. ,a„ c~°~ ~ FoRN~P TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: LYNDA K. SNODGRASS, DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICE TINA WIEGAND, CO-CHAIR COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY COM E~ DONNA McMAHON, CO-CHAIR COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY ~ COMMITTEE SUBJECT: Y2K COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT DATE: JUNE 8, 1999 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Provide direction to staff on a request from the County of San Luis Obispo for a$3,742 donation to be used for Y2K public service announcements, and; 2. Receive and file the Y2K Compliance Status Report. FUNDING: Should the City Council approve the $3,742 donation request, an appropriation will be made from the General Fund unreserved fund balance. The fund balance is estimated to be $519,915 at June 30, 1999 without the additional appropriation, and $516,173 should the City Council approve the donation request. DISCUSSION: In the early days of computer development, when computers and disk drives were exceptionally expensive, computer programmers developed ways to use every byte of memory in the most e~cient way. The date format is an example of one way byte memory was conserved. Six (6) bits of inemory were encoded to represent two digits for the month, two for the day, and two for the year. Thus 052599 was read as May 25, 1999. This date format is used for calculations, such as the passage of years, by assuming the "19" part of the date. Thus 33 years is calculated to have passed since 1965 to 1998 by subtracting 65 from 98. As the end of the century approached people began to recognize that the change from 1900 to 2000 could cause computers computation errors. Should a computer attempt to subtract 1965 from 2000, the calculation would yield ~5 (00 minus 65). What happens when a computer system encounters a negative date number is uncertain, other than an inaccurate answer. An inaccurate answer would appear to be the least of the problems. _ Y2K COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT PAG E 2 Date computations are an integral part of modern life, such as computing interest earning on saving accounts, determining retirement benefits, and verifying the freshness of food products. Because date-related calculations are everywhere it is highly likely that there will be some consequences from hardware and software that cannot correctly deal with the millennium change. In addition, the Year 2000 is a leap year. Typical computer logic is to calculate a leap year as being devisable by 4 unless they are also divisible by 100. This formula results in Year 2000 not being a leap year, which is incorrect. The extent of the consequences and disruptions in daily lives from these date related problems cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. However, the City of Arroyo Grande is taking the problem seriously and is taking steps to ensure that any potential impact from these problems will be minimized. Scope of the Problem: In defining the scope of the Y2K situation three kinds of problems have been identified. • Business process applications and systems. Business process applications and systems are what are most commonly thought of when considering technology systems. They include software and hardware used for daily business operations such as desktop workstations, file servers, printers, operating system software (Windows 95, Novell NetWare, DOS, etc.). Other affected applications are office automation software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), geographic information systems (Arclnfo/ArcView), public safety system (Spillman), finance system (Eden), building permits (Custom Design Software), and recreation scheduling software (RecWare). These include "off-the-shelf' or package systems like Office 95 or Novell; major systems purchased from "turnkey" vendors like our public safety and finance systems; and locally developed applications using database software such as the building permit application. • Process and control systems. These systems are often hard to identify because they use "embedded" software and hardware for facilities and equipment, such as HVAC systems, telecommunications systems, (telephones, data communications), traffic signals, process control systems for water treatment, vehicle fuel pumps, street lights, radio communications or telemetry system. • Data exchanges with other organizations. The City relies on electronic information from other agencies, and other agencies rely on electronic information from us. Examples include investments, banking, PERS, payroll deposits, wire transfers, and law enforcement information. In short, the City relies upon electronic data from other agencies for a number of "mission-critical" operations, and they rely Y2K COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT PAGE 3 upon it from us. Even if the City's systems are Y2K compliant, problems may occur if other entities providing electronic intertaces are not Y2K compliant. Business process applications and systems probably pose the lowest risk to the City for two reasons: • Because the City entered the "computer age" relatively late in the century, the vast majority of computer and software purchases were made during the last two years, when Y2K compliance was coming to the forefront of the public eye. The Eden financial management system was purchased with the understanding that it was Y2K compliant. For software running on the computers, "software "patches" are available from the manufacturer, at no cost, such as the Microsoft "patch" currently being installed on all City personal computers. • Replacing these "non-mission critical" (problems that would likely annoy but not hinder the deliverance of services to the public) should be relatively easy and inexpensive. The consequences of not being Year 2000 compliant in this area will be less significant. The City is more likely to experience serious difficulties with the "process control" and "data exchange" systems since they are less visible, and in many cases, beyond our control. Citv of Arrovo Grande Action Plan Every department in the City could be affected if the Y2K problem is not adequately addressed. Because each City department has a representative on the Computer Technology Committee, the Committee is the logical leader of the Y2K compliance drive. Therefore, in conjunction with the Financial Services Director, the Computer Technology Committee has enacted a Y2K compliance action plan. The City of Arroyo Grande Action Plan consists of four components: • Assessment - Conduct an assessment to identify the "mission-critical" and "non- critical" processes. That is, identify the processes that are the most important to providing City services. Realistically, it is not possible to make absolutely sure that every City system is Y2K compliant, so efforts need to be focused on the areas of greatest impact--the "mission-critical" processes. • Implementation - Develop and implement solutions to correct any identified deficiencies. Any "mission-critical" systems that may be subject to failure must be corrected or replaced. • Validation - Test the City's systems to ensure that the assessments and solutions are correct so that when the Year 2000 rolls around the City will be prepared. Y2K COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT PAGE 4 • Emergency Preparedness - Though the City may be 100% ready for the Year 2000, it is likely that some suppliers and vendors that service the City will not be ready. As a result, the City needs to have contingency plans for how business will be conducted if some of the most important Y2K partners (like federal, state, and county law enforcement agencies) are not Y2K compliant when the Year 2000 arrives. As reflected above, there are a number of key steps ahead of us. The City's goal is to complete all of them in a timely manner so that all "mission-critical" computers, software, special applications, data communications, and control systems are fully Y2K compliant by December 31, 1999. Action Plan Status The assessment phase is nearly complete. Implementation, validation, and emergency preparedness are in various stages of completion. Accomplishments of the Committee and the individual departments include: • The departments completed a compliance assessment (Attachment A). The assessment evaluated potential problem areas, inventoried those areas, and listed services that are at risk. • The noncompliance (AS400) financial management software was replaced with Eden Systems Command Series, a system that is purported to be Y2K compliant. • The personal computers (P.C.'s) and programs have been inventoried. This inventory is being used to ensure that each and every computer has the Microsoft Office 97 (operating program) "patch" installed. This patch was released by Microsoft to repair a date sensitive program error. • Y2K information, compliance letters, documentation of departmental Y2K efforts, and resource information have been compiled into a binder. This binder provides a ready reference on this City's efforts, other Cities' efforts, the County, and the State efforts toward being prepared for any problems resulting from Y2K failures. • Because the loss of water and sewer facilities would severely disrupt normal life, particular attention has been paid to these City services. Certificates of compliance have been received from the companies manufacturing the controlling software, a portable generator is standing ready should there be a disruption of electricity, and personnel are prepared for short term disruptions. • The City invests excess cash with the State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). The State of California Treasurer has provided information that this agency is Y2K complaint and that the City's funds on deposit will be readily accessible. Y2K COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT PAGE 5 • The City's banks (Bank of America and Mid-State) are Y2K ready. Ensurinq that Citv Vendors are Y2K Readv As stated earlier in this report (Page 2), problems may occur in systems because of "embedded chips" using six digit dates. The "embedded" problems are the hardest to identify and correct, and have the largest potential for disruption of services. Though, the City is confident that its systems will be Y2K ready by December 31St, there has been concern that vendors providing "mission critical" services will not be ready. Vendors providing elements to the City's "mission critical" services have been contacted. Those "mission critical" services include providing water and sewer services, ensuring functioning traffic signals, and providing adequate street lighting. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), National Instruments, and Lee Wilson Electric have been contacted, with the following results: • PG&E has been working toward Y2K compliance since 1997, and is currently performing remediation and testing of its systems to ensure that all systems are ready by September 30, 1999. A letter explaining those efforts (Attachment C) is provided as part of this report. It is expected that PG&E will be successful in its endeavors, and the City will be able to provide street lighting to the community after December 31 St • National Instruments manufacturers the Scada System, which controls the delivery of water and sewer services to City residents. City staff accessed the National Instruments' web page containing information on the company's Y2K efforts. The web site states that the company has defined the date methodology to accept a four- digit year thus avoiding the common Y2K problems. • Lee Wilson Electric, who services the City's traffic signals, has been in contact with Bi-Trans, the company manufacturing traffic signal software. Bi-Trans has stated to Lee Wilson Electric that the software is Y2K ready. Staff is relying on both Lee Wilson Electric and Bi-Trans' experience and knowledge of traffic signals to alleviate fears of traffic jams from malfunctioning signals. Emergencv Manaqement The Police Department updated the City of Arroyo Grande's emergency operation plan earlier this year. Each department contributed a departmental plan for handling the effects of a major emergency. Any significant emergency requiring several City departments or outside agencies will be done through the Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The City Manager acts as the Emergency Services Director. The Police Department is responsible for management of the operation of the EOC. There are designated Y2K COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT PAG E 6 personnel from each department assigned to fill a role and function in the EOC when activated. The staffing and buildup required depends upon the nature and magnitude of the emergency. Emergency management personnel have determined that the function of the EOC, in a Y2K emergency, will be similar to planning for a large-scale power outage. The Police Department, as manager of the EOC, is working with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the California Office of Emergency Services (OES), and internal staff to be fully prepared for an emergency. The Police Department will have all personnel available during the week before and at least the week after December 31, 1999 (no vacation leaves will be granted). Plans in Process There are a number of plans being formulated to further the City's Y2K preparedness: • The Financial Services Department will test the financial management system by changing the date to January 1, 2000 and running mock payroll, accounts payable, cash receipt, and utility billing. • The Police and Financial Services Department will develop and distribute an Emergency Preparedness Brochure to City residents. The brochure will focus on getting the community prepared for any emergency, not just Y2K emergencies. • All City vehicles will have full gas tanks on December 31St • All Police and Fire Department personnel will be on call for the start of the New Year. • A supply of manual checks will be available should hand written checks be necessary. • Employees will be paid on the normal payroll date of December 30th. Should direct deposit and wire banking services be interrupted after that pay date, manual checks can be prepared for the payroll of January 14, 2000. However, it is hoped than any disruptions will be corrected during the two-week interval. • The Computer Technology Committee, Financial Services, Police, and Fire Departments are reading, evaluating, and implementing, where appropriate, the latest Y2K information. Financial Considerations The City of San Luis Obispo hired a consultant to manage its Y2K efforts at a cost of $67,400, while allocating an additional $207,000 for disaster preparedness. The City of Santa Maria has set aside $138,360 for known and contingent Y2K costs. To date, Arroyo Grande has absorbed Y2K compliance costs from existing department appropriations. _ Y2K COMPLIANCE STATUS REPORT PAGE 7 Although the City estimates that the future cost of publishing and delivering brochures on emergency preparedness is minimal, the cost of an extended emergency could be significant. Therefore, should the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) be activated all expenses would be made through the Capital Improvement Program. Staff would return to City Council to seek ap~roval of funding from the FEMA, OES, and City funds. The County of San Luis Obispo and the San Luis Obispo County Y2K Action Alliance are preparing for a countywide awareness/preparedness media campaign (Attachment B). The purpose of the campaign will be to increase public education through radio and television public service announcements and to print ads that will saturate the media outlets from August to November 1999. The County of San Luis Obispo has allocated approximately $23,000 for this activity, while requesting donations from the cities in San Luis Obispo County (donations vary based on the percentage of County population). The County is requesting a donation of $3,742 from the City of Arroyo Grande to aid their efforts. Should the City Council approve the donation request, the City would be recognized as campaign sponsors and the City logo would appear on all advertising. The County has indicated that the County Office of Emergency Services will manage the campaign. Though the efforts of the two agencies are worthwhile the benefits to City residents are unknown. Alternatives: The following alternatives are provided for City Council consideration: - Approve a$3,742 donation to San Luis Obispo County; - Deny the $3,742 donation request; - Approve staff recommendation to accept and file the status report; - Provide direction to staff. _ Q Y a~ • c~ d ~ ` ` N Z O O ~ C p p ~ N Vi ~ Y (n ~ w ~ ~ ~ ~ ~•m ~ v m ~ v oY ~ °~a~i a~ ; a~ .r o _ c°~ a E f° ~ o m} m.°~-N. ~ n' y U a~i c c Y ~ c~i c c o'~ c J N ~ 10 c c ~ Z s c~i t c~i ~ Y s c~i s c~i t c~i c10i ~ s c~i ~ ~ m.c m c x ~~w m Y m ~ p~., ~w m y~ r c Q aa o.a-v a.~n c.'n a'n, n°~ n'o rn~ Y n rn~ rn~ ~ rn~rn ~ rn~ orS m~rn E m c ~~,~c~^ E y~ mc~iY ~my~ y~ y'a,c~i~c~iv ~n~°~~c~i ~ N ~ N ~ 7~~ N ~ N ~ p N~ N N ~ O 7~~~ N D~U m tn0>- ~ U~~~w W U ulmm~~ c oi ~ C ~ N U~ d N ~ V1 O ~ U " ° ~ ~ ~ o ~ > ~~y w°- a N w c°~i li N N~ U•V C+_' U O ~ C W v a`~ v' d Z ~ c° Z~ u' v~ y m N ~ ~ o,~ u~i ~p - u~, ~ m m c~i N.« a ~ c o N ,n ~ y U ~ C O N ~ O r Y V N~ Q~.U •C ~ y N ~ C Vl V ~ N~ ~p fC ~ C C N N ~+.N+ y~"O VW v°~~ ` a~i"~•c d:~c°~i a mov _~c~c>. 0 ~ m ~a~° Z E~ +-wcu °`3Y.

We believe that we have a responsibility to notify citizens of possible impacts and encourage self-preparedness. The San Luis Obispo County Y2K Action Alliance has approached the County Board of Supervisors to request funding for a county-wide awareness/preparedness media campaign to increase public education. The campaign will augment the Action Alliance's efforts which include the distribution of 80,000 preparedness brochures (funded by Mid-State Bank and Central Coast Printers), information expos and booths, preparedness information issued in PG&E's cunent Diablo Canyon Newsletter, and information disseminated by the Red Cross and Governor's Office of Emergency Services. The proposed media campaign is the "next step" in awareness/preparedness efforts. The County and cities aze in an excellent position to take the lead in educating their constituents. The funding will be used to create radio and television public service announcements and print ads that will "blitz" the media outlets from August to November, 1999. On Apri129, 1999 a letter was sent to you from the Action Alliance introducing this awareness campaign. The proposed cost is $53,000. The Board of Supervisors will provide $22,988 for these efforts. All cities aze being asked to provide funding for this effort proportional to population. We hope you will take a lead in addressing Y2K issues and co-sponsor this campaign. The entities that provide funding will be recognized as the campaign's sponsors and their logos will appear on all advertising. City funds would be transferred to the County Office of Emergency Services; OES will manage the campaign. The requested funding levels are as follows, based on population: CITY POPULATION % OF COUNTY POP. FUNDS REOUESTED Arroyo Grande 16,000 7% $3,742 Atascadero 25,450 10.5% $5,613 Grover Beach 12,650 5% $2,673 Mono Bay 9,875 4% $2,138 Pismo Beach 8,475 3.5% $1,871 Paso Robles 22,500 9% $4,811 San Luis Obispo 42,850 18% $9,623 Unincorporated Areas 103,800 43% $22,9gg c~~,~.~.,s~l~ Commitment of funds is needed by July 15, 1999. On May 27, 1999, the Disaster Preparedness Advisory Council will meet; your emergency management representative will be in attendance. An outline of the educational campaign and awareness efforts will be given. City representatives will be encouraged to present Y2K status updates and recommendations to their councils. Y2K Action Alliance members will attend these council meetings to support funding for the awareness campaign. The County Office of Emergency Services is in full support of an awareness/preparedness campaign. Currently, a low percentage of citizens (estimated at 10-20%) are properly prepared for a disaster, including enough supplies for 3-7 days of self sufficiency. The "millennium bug" offers a unique opportunity for citizens to prepare for something that is perceived as a"real threat" and happens to come with a"real date." A preparedness campaign is a moderate approach to help prevent panic and apathy. Y2K is different from other types of potential hazards in that we know the date on which possible efFects may occur. It's surmised that if services are disrupted due to Y2K the potential for a significant public outcry is greater than for other types of emergencies. The basic idea could be "they all knew it was coming, so why wasn't something done to help us?" Y2K preparedness is also a terrific avenue to educate the public on preparedness for all disasters. The fervor that Y2K has generated can be harnessed into broader preparation efforts and could ultimately lead to a greater proportion of citizens prepared for known threats to this area. Thus, even if Y2K interruptions prove minimal, a greater portion of the populace would be prepared for future disasters. Regardless of your personal opinion of what Y2K will or will not bring, the bottom line is that it will happen. For those of you who are gamblers, this may be a good opportunity to "hedge your bets." Being proactive could assist you and your staff later in the year when public concern over Y2K may increase. Thank you for your support and participation in this unified campaign. I look forward to working together.

Box 550 Arroyo Grande, CA 93421 Re: Y2K Readiness Disclosure Dear Mayor Lady, lfiank you for your inquiry regazding our Year 2000 readiness efforts. Pacific Gas and Electric Company shares ' your concern and recognizes the seriousness of the Year 2000 issue. We aze pleased to provide you with the following Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure information about our plan to minimize potential Year 2000 disruptions. T'he Year 2000 initiative extends throughout Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Coordinating this effort on a full- time basis is our Year 2000 Program Office. Each of our departments has been directed to assemble employee teams to work toward mitigation of potential problems. Our Year 2000 Program Office and the Year 2000 Steering Committee, which consists of senior level officers, regulazly reviews the scope and progress of this project. Currendy, we are focusing our efforts on addressing software and embedded systems, which are mission-critical to our business. Each business unit has a Year 2000 plan that consists of four primary phases: 1. Inventory and Assessment - Systems mission-critical to our business are identified and evaluated as to their readiness to operate into and through the Year 2000. Decisions are made to repair, replace or retire in-house softwaze, vendor software, embedded systems and computer hardware. We have completed this phase. 2. Remediation - Mission-critical systems that are not Year Z000 ready are repaired, replaced or redred. 3. Testing - Mission-critical systems that aze remediated aze tested, as appropriate, to verify that they aze Year 2000 ready. 4. Certification - Mission-critical systems are formally acknowledged to be Year 2000 ready. Even after systems are certified, we are condnuing various kinds of testing and quality assurance efforts, and may do so through the end of 1999. While Pacific Gas and Electric Company cannot guarantee there will be no disruptions, it will continue working to minimize the risk of any significant service interrupdon even after its mission-critical systems are certified as "Year 2000 ready." Our Year 2000 focus also includes mission-critical business relationships that we depend upon for reliable products and services. We have completed our identification of mission-cridcal business relationships, which includes reladonships with customers, suppliers, gas and electric system operators, public agencies, financial institutions and communications companies. We are implemendng plans to learn about their Year 2000 compliance. As part of our assessment, we will evaluate the probability that they will be Year 2000 ready. We expect to complete remediation of mission-critical software applications in the first quarter of 1999, with a few exceptions, and to complete testing in the second quarter of 1999. We have completed the inventory of all mission- critical embedded systems and are currently performing remediation and testing. Our goal is to have mission- critical systems Year Z000 ready by the end of the third quarter of 1999. Year 2000 Readiness of Mission-Critical Items - as of May 3rd, 1999 - :.;::<;<.«;.:;::...;.:;;;:..;;<;;<;;;;.::.:;.:;;.: ::,.:.:.::..:.:.:;.:;<.:.:;.:;-:;;;<;«;.>:.;:.:;.:.:<.::.:;.:;:<.::<;;.: . . x.. . ;.;;<;:::~ert~~~atxt~>::: ;:;<::.::.:~`.c~ti~ . <::>:««<>::;:«: ««««:<;«::«<::<::;<::<:;<_ ::<;:::::,«::::>::>~em~e~~~t,ara»:> : stem~ .............~.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<;;:<.;;;::«;;:::;:::<.:::.: ::y . . : : : : : : . . . . . . . : : : : : : : . : : : , <>::m»:; , :;;i~i;;:~~-> ;;.::<:::::::<:;:::;<;<:::;:: ><;s;:~ e:::::>:::::s>:: ~:::::::a:>::a>:>>'~ fe::<;:::::::>::::: _ ~C:<':i>:>_:«:. :>:~o . ...:~um _et . ~O _ E~ In-house soflwaze 100% 98% 12% Vendor Soflware 100% 87% 69% Embedded S stetns 100% 98% 82% Com uter Hardware 100% 100% 15% The percentages in this table reflect approximations based on a standardized reporting system and are rounded to the nearestpercentage number. Even though remediation, testing and certification phases may all be reported as 100% "complete" by program definitions, there can be no guarantee that all Year 2000 issues have been resolved. Issues that are subsequently uncovered jor an item previously reported as complete, may lead to downward adjustments in percentage compleHon numbers jrom period to period. For that reason, the company may conrinue to evaluaie and test certain items up until the century rollover and will address issues as they arise. Also note that the completion ojthese phases does not address external interdependencies that could aJfect the ability ojthe company to be Year ?000 ready. To minimize the risks associated with mission-critical systems and business relationships, we are developing - contingency plans in the event of Year 2000 problems. Contingency plans will be developed for any mission- . critical systems that fall behind schedule for repair or replacement and for all essential business functions. Just as we aze developing contingency plans for the Year 2000, we encourage customers to consider their special needs and implement contingency plans in case telecommunicadons, public transportation, power, or financial services are interrupted for a period of time as the result of Year 2000. Prepazedness planning is everyone's responsibility, and each company and individual must decide what steps are necessary to address its particular circumstances and potential vulnerabilities. Fmm 1997 through December 1998, PG&,E Corporation and its subsidiaries spent approximately $108 million to assess and address the Year 2000 problem. As of January 1, 1999, we estimated that the Corporation's future costs to address Year 2000 issues would be approximately S 140 million. Costs include expenditures for systems installed for various business purposes where the timing of installation is important for Year 2000 readiness. As the remediation, testing and certification phases of our readiness effort progress, our estimated costs may change. We take the Year 2000 problem seriously and aze fully committed to the Year 2000 process and plan. Our goal is to have our mission-critical systems Year 2000 ready by the end of the third quarter of 1999. However, because of the complex interaction of computers, communications, and our dependency on others for products and services, we are unable to issue compliance representations or guarantees.

This situation results from the inability of certain computer systems and software programs to properly recognize and process date-sensitive information relative to the year 2000 and beyond. The City is aware of the potential problems and has taken several steps to minimize any potential impact from these problems. First, the City is taking steps to ensure that all of its computers and software are, or will be, Y2K compliant on or before January 1, 2000. The City's financial management computer system has been represented to be Y2K compliant. In addition, the City is undergoing a review of all its major computer systems, software, and upgrade; work is being performed to remedy any potential problems. Second, the City has personnel assigned to identify and assess any potential adverse impacts to the City's "mission critical" systems and daily operations. Each City Department is identifying Y2K related impacts and working with suppliers to remedy those impacts. Departments who rely on systems and equipment that cannot be verified as Y2K compliant also 'll prepare detailed contingency plans to place into effect at a moment's notice would the need arise. Finally, the City's Emergency 4perations Center or "EOC" will be on standby December 31, 1999 so that we are ready to handle any unanticipated public safety situations that may arise. Emergency management plans will focus not only on the physical needs of our community, but also on the human factors that come into play during an extended crisis. As a result of these steps, the City full anticipates that all critical systems such as Police, Fire, and Public Works will be working and will continue uninterrupted I on January 1, 2000. However, while the City is taking steps to ensure that it will be Year 2000 compliant, we cannot guarantee such compliance with any systems that we interface with, such as non-City of Arroyo Grande water, electric, telephone, and banking systems. While these and other service providers have assured us of such compliance, we must, of course, rely on their assurances and cannot independently guarantee the operation of their systems. The City has developed an Emergency http://www.arroyogrande.org/y2k.html 5/26/99 Y2K Statement of Compliance Page 2 of 2 Operation Plan (EOP) for dealing with all manners of emergency situations. That plan would be put in place should there be a disruption of basic necessities. ~~Return to Cit ofArro o Grande Home a e City of Arroyo Grande P.O. Box 550 / 214 E.

FUNDING: There is a 10°~ match of funds required should a grant application be approved by the State. This requirement would be met through an allocation of in-kind staff services. DISCUSSION: In December of 1997, the City Council approved the Coordinated Agricultural Support Program (CASP). The overall purpose of the CASP was to develop project recommendations that may be implemented toward preserving and supporting the agricultural industry in the Arroyo Grande Valley. This purpose was achieved with specific recommendations being outlined within the document. The most favorable option recommended was the creation of a nonprofit agricultural land trust (Attachment 1). At the February 23'd Council meeting, staff was directed to pursue a possible partnership with the County on preparation of an ALSP grant. The grant funds will be used to explore opportunities to establish a non-profit agricultural land trust within the Arroyo Grande Valley. Although the first grant application cycle ended March 1~, grants are considered by the State throughout the year. The Agricultural Land Stewardship Program provides grants that support the efforts of local governments and non-profit organizations to conserve agricultural lands. In 1998-99, approximately $14 miilion dollars has been made available for this purpose, 10% of which is available for policy/planning projects (Attachment 2). Agricultural Land Trust. Land trusts are nonprofit, private organizations that are designed to protect open space or agricultural lands, scenic areas, recreational, or historical sites. A land trust is typically governed by a volunteer board of directors, and may or may not employ staff to assist it. Volunteers within the community carry out most of the work of the majority of land trusts, and they rely largely on local volunteer and financial support. Agricultural land trusts focus exclusively on farmlands and are characterized by having substantial representation of agricultural interests on their boards of directors. San Luis Obispo County applied for an ALSP grant in 1997, but was unsuccessful (Attachment 3). The City and County wouid jointly apply for funds in the range of $20,000 to $30,000. The format of the grant application would follow the 1997 County application with refinement based on current state program guidelines. Funding would be used to: A. Establish an advisory committee of local farmland owners to explore opportunities for farmland protection, including possible creation of an agricultural land trust for the Arroyo Grande Valley. B. Determine the level of interest of farmland owners in the Arroyo Grande Valley in forming an agricultural land trust which focuses exclusively on agricultural land protection opportunities such as obtaining voluntary conservation easements. If sufficient interests exist, proceed with tasks C and D. C. Provide the agricultural landowners in the valley with the needed technical support for organizing and operating a land trust; and D. As determined by the advisory committee, develop an agricuttural land protection mechanism such as a model agricultural conservation easement, procedures, and methods for use in the Arroyo Grande Valley. Responsibility for management of the grant would be shared by both the County and City; however, all contracts and funds would be managed by County staff. On a$30,000 grant, the 10% match ($3,000}, would consist of $1,500 of in-kind services from the County, and $1,500 from the City (in staff time assisting with the tasks described above).

The ALSP is designed to work in concert with local planning and zoning strategies to conserve agriculturai land. The Program was created by the Agricultural Land Stewardship Program Act of 1995, contained within Division 10.2 of the Public Resources Code (Sections 10200 to ' 10277) and the Revenue and Taxation Code (Sections 421.5 and 422.5).' This Grant Applicaiuon Manual is intended to serve as a reference in understanding the provisions of the ALSP, and inciudes instructions for ~e submission of applications for grant funding. ALSP Jurisdiction The ALSP's enabiing legisiation provides the Department of Conservation with statewide jurisdicciion to work with focat govemments and non-profit organizations to conserve agricuiturai land resources through the use of agricufturai conservation easements. In addition, the State Caastal Conservancy is vested with responsibiiities for carrying out agricuitural projects in the coastai zone (as defined in Section 30103 of the Public Resources Code), inciuding the acquisition. of agricultural conservation easements. The ALSP does not alter the Consefvancy's ~ responsibiiities for the administration of state or federai funds that are af{ocated for the purpose of preserving coastai agricultural lands. For ALSP projects within the coastai zone, the Department of Cons2svation will consult with the Cons~rvancy in developing the Department's poiicies, priorities, and procedures for the allocation of funds (Public Resources Code Section 10225). ' The Codes are available on the intemet at http:/lwww.feginfo.ca.gov/calaw.htmi, or upon request to the Department of Conservation. Chapter 1: Introduction ~ Department of Conservation . Agricultural Land Stewardship Program Grant Application Manual Fiscal Year 1998-99 q~plication Eligibility Eligible Applicants The ALSP may award grants to cities, counties, and private non-profit organizations. Non-profrt organizafions must: • have among their defined purposes the conservation of agricuitural lands, • hoid a tax exemption as defined under Section 501(c)3 of the Intemal Revenue Code, and . further qualify as non-profrf organizations under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) or 170(h)(3) of the intemal Revenue Code (Pubiic ~esources Code Section 10221). Non-profit appiicants must provide documents verifying ~eir agriculturai ~and conservation purpose, and their 501(c)3 status. Non-profit applicants must aiso certify that ALSP funding wouid present no conflict of interest on the part of the Board or its members, and provide documentation of the organization's ability to carry out the proposed project (see page 4-1). Eligible Projects AgricUltura! Consenration Easement Acquisition Projects AgricUitural conservation easement projects are cansidered eligible fo~ grant funding if they meet the following criteria (Public Resources Code Section 10251): . The parcel proposed for conservation is expected to continue to be used for, and is large enough to sustain, commercial agricuitural production. The land is also in an area that possesses the necessary maricet, infrastructure, and agriculturai support services, and the surrounding parcel sizes and land uses wiil support long-term commerc;al agricultural produc:ion. . The applicable city or county has a general plan whicfi demonstrates a long-term commitment to agricufturai land conserva6on. This commitment snal! be reflec:ed in the goais, objecctives, policies, and implementation measures of the pian, as they relate to the area of the county or city where the easement acquisition is proposed. . The grant proposal is consistent with the city or county general pian, and the governing body of the city or county, by resoiution, approves the grant proposal. . Without conservation, the land proposed for proteciion is fikely to be converted to non- agricuiturai use in the foreseeable future. Chapter 1: lntroduction ~ ~ Department of Conservation Agricultura! Land Stewardship Program Grant Appiication Manual Fiscal Year 1998-99 Fee Title Acquisifion Projecfs in addition to agricultural conservation easements, grant funds may be used in certain cases to obtain fee title (full purchase of title) to agricultural lands. In such cases, the following conditions must be met: . A grant recipient must agree, upon acquisition of the p~operty, to encumber the land with an agricultural conservation easement subject to Public Resources Code Section 10262 (Public Resources Code Section 10239(a)). . The grant recipient must sell the fee title subject to the easement to a private landowner within three years of the acquisition of the fee ti~e (Public Resources Code Section 10239(b)). . The grant recipient must reimburse the ALSP Fund by art amount equai to the fair maricet value of the land less the value of the easement and associated transactior~ costs within 30 days after the sale of the restricted fee ti~e (Public Resourcas Code Section 10239(c}). Policy/P/anning Projects Policy and pianning projects related to agricufturai land canservation and the utilization of agricUitural conservation easements may also be considered (e.g., the consideration of agricultural conservation easements as a locai mitigation of agricvitural land conversion, the delineation of agricultural lands with the greatest locat priorities for conservation, etc). No more than ten percent of total avaiiabie grant fiands may be applied tawarcf iand improvement and policy/planning purposes combined (Public Resources Code Section 10230 (c)). Befo~e procesding with the application process, prospective applicants for policy/planning grants are encouraged to contact the ALSP staff (916-3240850, or aisp@cansrv.ca.gov), to discuss the preliminary detaiis of the proposal. Land /mprovement Projects Up to :2n perceni of total availabfe grant funds may be applied toward land improvement and policy/planning purposes combined (Public Resources Code Section 10230 (c)). Use of thes2 grants shall be limited to the improvement of lands protected by agricuttural conservation easements. If a propased project inciudes the use of gcant funds for land improvemerrt, that component shatl be evaiuated with respect to the extent to which it satisfies one or more of the foilowing (Public Resources Code Section 10246): . The improvement wiil enhance the agric~lturai vaiue of the land protected by the easement, and promote its long-#erm sustainable agriculturai use, sucli as water supply development and revegetation of eroding streambanks. • The improvetnent will increase the campatibility of the agriculturat operations with ' sensitive natural areas. • The improvement wiil demonstrate new and innovative best management practices which have the potentiat for wide appiication. ~ Ctiapter 1: Introduction ~-3 ~ Department of Conservation Agricul#ural Land Stewardship Program Grant Application Manuai Fiscai Year 1998-99 .

The purpose of the CASP is to identify issues related to the efforts of supporting and preserving the agricultural and environmentat production and resources of the Arroyo Grande Valley (AG~. The primary recommendation of the CASP is to establish an agricultural larrd trust for the AGV and siurounding area for the purpose of preserving the agricultural economic viability of the land resources through the acquisition of agricultural conservation easements and other related preservation techniques. The Arroyo Grande Valley is located in southem San Luis Obispo Counry. Figure 1 on the next page provides an aerial view of the AGV and the surrounding area The specific focus of this proposal is the unincorporated poction of the study area identified in the CASP. As can be seen in figure 1, development is encroaching on the agricultural lands in this region. This proposal is to fund activities to create a non- profit agricultural land t~vst designed to protect agricultural lands in the unincorporated portions of the AGV. Funding would be used for the following tasks: A. further determine the level of interest of farmland owners in the AGV of forniing an agricultural land trust which focuses exclusively on obtaining vol~ntary conservarion easements; B. provide the agricultural landowners in the valley with the needed technical support for organizing and operating a land trust; C. establish an advisory committee, and eventually a Board of Directors, to develop and establish an agricultural land trust for the Arroyo Grand Valley, and D. develop a model agricultural conservation easement and procedures and methods for its use in the AGV. This plaruiing effort would enable the interested agricuItural land owners in the unincorporated portions of the AGV to develop a land trust that would focus on obtaining conservation easements. The CASP study indicates d~at many agricultural land owners are interested in establishing such an organizarion iri the area. Agricultural Land Stewardship Program (ALSP) funding would be used as seed money by the county to hire a qualified consultant to coordinate the acriviries of developing the land trust. Agricultural Land Stewardship Program Page 1 The CASP study was an effort funded by the Califomia Coastal Conservancy and included a total area of approximately 2,157 acres with 168 individual parceLs (see figures 2A and 2B for the azeas covered by the C~p stu~{y), LTnincorporated land comprises the majority of the study area and includes 140 parcels on 1,875 acres. The mild, conducive climate and prime farmland soils of the AGV provide the needed resources for year-raund farmin8• The ed to address the mutual oncems of both public~agencties~and vegetables. The land trust would be des gn private landowners II. Specific project considerations associated with goals of the ALSP ~q, What is the quality of the ~1 e the soil,n~mate or~egetat v factors ~t are mapping, or other measures. A particularly signifrcant for this property? According to the CASP, 25 d'ifferent soil types have been identified in this portion of the Arroyo Grande Valley by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Of those 25 soil types, 12 are considered to be prime farmland soils. Of the total acreage within the CASP study area, 91% (1,973 acres) are considered prime soils (see figures 3A and 3B). The more dominate soil types found in the study area include two series of Mocho Loam and two series of Marimel loam. These four soil types account for 1,725 acres of prime soils, almost 75%. A variety of high value vegetables are grown in the area, including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, cabbage, endiv~ lettuce, onions, peppers, spinach, squash, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and strawberries• Avocados and walnuts are grown on a few parceis. Agriculture in the AGV is generally intense commercial production by experienced growers, many whom represent third or even fourth-generation families: The climate is mild enough to allow for year round production and most fields are able to produce up io 2'/z crops per year. Row crops are the dominant products, harvested typically by hand boxed in the field, cooled and stored at one of the 3-4 near terininals and shipped fresh in refrigerated trucks. Irrigation is supplied though groundwater pumped from a shallow underflow of Arroyo Grande Creek recharged through inflow regulated by the Lopez Reservoir. This water source is relatively secure. B. _ Are there s~ich additional natural resource considerations associated with this propasal, irich~ding sr~ch issr~es as oper~ space preservation, wetland profeciion, or wildlife habitat conservatiorl? The Arroyo Grande Creek is a natural resource that is vital to not only agricultural concerns but is also a significant visual and habitat feature defining community Page 2 Agricultural Land Stewardship Program character in the area as well. Preservation of the creek would enhance the agricultural and other interests in the area. C. How dv the general plcm and related land use policies of the affected city or county support a long term commitment to agricultural land conservation in general and this proposal specifically? San Luis Obispo County regulates the conversion of agricultural land through the administration of its Land Use Element (LUE) and its Coastal Zone Land Use Element (CZLUE). These two documents, along with the corcesponding Land Use Ordinances (LUO's), regulate the unincorporated land in the area. Almost all of the unincorporated land in the AGV is designated (zoned) as "Agriculture" in the LLTE and CZLUE (see figures 7A and 7B). In the County's general plan the following goal has been adopted by the Board of Supervisors: "Encourage the protection of agricultural land for the production of food, fiber, and other agricultural commodities." (Goal 10, page 1-3 Framework for Planning). The LiTE and CZLLTE establish a minimum parcel size range of 320 to 20 acres for land that is designated agricultural. The LUO also provides specific criteria for determining the parcel size of a an agricultural parcel_ Various county policies restrict development on prime agricultural land: 1, T iTP Frame~=~ork for Pl~nning~al #9: "Identify important agricultural areas between the cities and communities and work with landowners to maintain their rural characte~' Goal #18 states that r.ew and additional pubiic service facilities should be located to aliow for sufficient buffers to protect adjacent rural and agricultural areas." 2, I LT~ Framework for Planning, Cha~ter 7 Pur~ose and haracter Statements: Purposes for the agricultural land use category include "to recogruze and retain commercial agriculture as a desirable land use and as a major segment of the county's economic base". "To designate areas where a combination of soil types, topography, water supply, existing parcels sizes, and good management practices will result in the production of food and fibe~', and "to support conversion of agricultural Iands to other uses only when such conversion would be appropriate or because the continuing agricultural - productivity of a specific site is infeasible." . _ 3. The Local Coastal Plan Policies contain generally more restrictive policies than the inland LUE. The County Agricultural Commissicner reviews and comments on land use permit Agricultural Land Stewardship Program Page 3 applications that may affect agricultural land parcels. Building setbacks, buffers and screening are the most common methods recommended for reducing conflicts between difFerent land uses. The County has adopted a right-to-farm ordinance and amended it in 1992 to better protect existing agricultural operations from nuisance complaints by adjacent, newly developed residential uses. The amended ordinance states: "No agricultural activity, operation or faciIity, or appurtenances thereof, conducted or maintained for commercial purpose, and in a manner consistent with proper and accepted customs and standards, as established and followed by similar agricultural operations in the same locality, shall be or become nuisance... after it has been in operation for more than three years, if it was not a nuisance at the time it began." The County is in the process of adopting an Agriculture/Open Space Element for the General Plan. This is a unique and innovative approach that links both resources and brings a more coordinated approached to managing the resources. D. Is the proposed project currently within a~Iliamsor7 Act Preserve? Of the cultivated agricultural land in the unincorporated portion of the CASP study area, 972 acres are within established agricultural preserves under the Williamson Act and subject to land conservation contracts with the County of San Luis Obispo (see figures SA and SB). E. Where is the proposed project in relatiorr to a city's established sphere of influence? The proposed project area is adjacent to the City of Anoyo Grande. Approximately two-thirds of the area is within two miles of the City's Sphere of Influence boundary. Please see figures 6A and 6B for the spheres of influence in the area. What are the fiscal and tech;tical capabilities of ihe applicant to carry out this project? The County of San Luis Obispo is a poiitical subdivision of California and manages an annual budget of over $200 million each year. The County's Auditor' s Office monitors expenditures, documents expenses, using standard accounting principals. Complete and accurate records are maintained using a computerized financial management system. The Department of Planning and Building has successfully -managed many different grant programs in the past. Currently the Department is administering the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program from the federal government as well as recentty awarded Coastal Resource Grants from the state Resources Agency. The Department of Planning and Building uses a charge code system to document Agricultural Land Stewardship Program Page 4 staff costs on a daily basis. Consultants shall have contracts in accordance with county policies and will be paid upon completion of the work and submittal of deliverables. Records and documentation will be maintained so that the total cost of the project is readily available. G. Is there coordination among affected landowners, local goverrrments, and nonprofit organizations concerrai~rg this proposed projecl as well as other agricultural land conservation activities? Coordination between all the entities above has already begun with the preparation of the CA~P. Landowners have participated in developing the study as have the City of Arroyo Grande and the County of San Luis Obispo. Non-profit organizations have also been contacted and involved in its preparation. Please see the attached summary report of the CASP study for more details about the participants. It should be noted that the County is submitting this grant appiication only for the unincorporated portions of the AGV-CASP study area now. The City has elected not to submit its own grant application at this time for impiementing the CASP recommendations in the incorporated portions of study area. However, the City has indicated that it does not object to the County going ahead with this application. If the City decides to submit an application in the next round, the staffs of both agencies will look at ways to cooperate jointly on the project. In any event, the County will solicit input from and coordinate with the City in the implementation of the project for at least the unincorporated portion of the AGV. H. Are there any innovative agricr~lt~~ral land conservatron approaches that would be titilized itt this project that might have applicatio~i to other regions of the State? The intent of this proposal is create a state of the art agricuitural land trust that is focused on the AGV with strong hands-on involvement of the landowners and growers. The modei that is used in doing this would be adaptable and could be used in other areas of the county as well as other regions in the state. ~ I. Is there evidence that, by crcquiri»g conservatio~r easement on the proposed project, development pressrires on nerghborir~g agrici~lh~ral land will be reduced?. Yes. Please see the attached summary of the CASP for a detailed discussion of the pressures facing tne AGV and the benefits that would result from implementing the CASP recommendations through activities such as the proposed project_ III. Project Timing The coordination activities will be completed within 18 months of having a signed agreemenf with the state to complete the project. - Agricultural Land Stewardship Program Page 5 IV, Project Funding Task County Staff- Contractor/ Total 10% Match Consultant Budget Prepare project specific request for qualifications • $300.00 $300.00 Prepare project specific contract with selected consultant $300.00 $300.00 Manage cash disbursements for the project $400.00 $400.00 Consultant completes $10,000.00 $10,000.00 coordination and land trust set-up activities Totals $1,000.00 $10,000.00 511,000.00 V.

The purpose of the CASP is to identify issues and conflicts that were related to the efforts of supporting and preserving the agricultural and environmental production and resources of the Arroyo Grande Valley. The valley is (ocaced in southem San Luis Obispo County. This proPosal is to help fund activities related to the creation of a non-profit agricultural land wst designed to protect agricultural lands in the Arroyo Grande Valley azea Funding w~ould be used for several tasks; 1) to further determine the level of interest of land owners in the Arroyo Grande Valley, 2) if sufficient interest exisu, assist the agcicultural landowners u?terested in organizing a land mut, 3) establish an advisory comcnittee to guide the development of an agricultural land trust, and 4) develop a model agricultiual c,onservation easen?ent for use in the ArcoS+o Grande Valley.

The Dixson Ranch has been in my family for ~ nearly 100 years and our family is committed to maintaining our farmland in agricultural ~ production. In 1977, my ~andmother, Wilma Dixson, placed our property within the ~ Williamson Act and in effect created the first and only "agricultural preserve" in the City ~ of Arroyo Grande. We aze now faced with increased development pressures and the need ` ~ for strengthened agricultural protection to continue our goal of soil stewardship. I . ~ The City of Arroyo Grande is unique in that we aze only one of 12 California cities that E has contracted, Williamson Act, land, within our urban boundaries. We are also fortunate to have a General•Plan that strongly supports the preservation of our Valley's prime soils. ; The missing ingredient is an established mechanism that compensates the agricultural ~ landowner to continue farming and an incentive to not convert their land to non- ~ agricultural use. ~ t r The Dixson Trust has initiated a proposed demonstration project, which would place our ~ f property in a perpetual farmland easement. Specifically, we are applying for State and ' ~ private funds to sell our "Development Rights". We have gained the assistance of the ~ ~ ~ f , ~ ~ lette~ of sUpport for PACE.doc Page 2, ~ ~ k E ~ ~ . ~ ~ Coastal San Luis Resources Conservation District and the American Fannland Trust to ~ move forward with a"request for proposal". We aze hopeful to complete the application ~ by the end of June and are requesting "tetters of support" to include in the application packet. In addition, this issue will be going before the City Council this next Tuesda.y ! evening (7une 8`~ @ 7:30 P1Vn, to hopefully be granted a resolution in support of this i project. Please feel free to attend and express your support or concerns. ! ~ ~ Our goal with this project is to demonstrate that an easement acquisition grant is feasible ~ and beneficial to the property owner. If we are successful, in all likelihood, other Arroyo ~ Grande Valley farmers will take advantage of this type of program and we will be able to preserve some of the world's best agricultural land. This is a`~vin - win" program. The ; landowner wins because he receives fair mazket value for the purchase of his development rights. The community wins because they maintain a quality of life they ' have grown to love. , ~ ~ I would be more than happy to discuss this proposal with you and answer any questions ' you may have.

It will certainly be a benefit to you and to the city and county if we can know that such lands can remain agricultural and yet provide a decent living to the owners. Like many others, we visited here and were thrilled by the rural agricultural feeling of Arroyo Grande. In fact we bought just outside the village in order to be near the farm lands and yet close to the amenities of town. We put up with the occasional blowing dust and the occasional smell (rotting cabbages!) in order to enjoy watching the process of crops growing and being harvested. We found that farmers make good neighbors. We wish you all success in your endeavors to preserve the Dixson Ranch and the quality of life in the Arroyo Grande valley. We hope that other farmers will join you.

SNODGRASS, DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICE SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT- LOPEZ DAM AND RESERVOIR FINANCE COMMITTEE DATE: JUNE 8, 1999 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council: 1. Provide direction to staff regarding the placement of remaining 1965 voter approved debt on the tax roll; and, 2. Receive and file the Lopez Dam and Reservoir Finance Committee Status Report. FUNDING: There is no quantifiable fiscal impact at this time. DISCUSSION: In 1992 engineering consultants began an evaluation of the stability of the Lopez Dam and Reservoir should a major earthquake occur. Though the dam was built to the highest standards at the time of construction in 1968, the discovery of earthquake faults in the region required further evaluations of Dam stability. The studies determined that should there be an earthquake of 7 on the Richter Scale, it is probable that liquefaction of the Dam foundation material would cause a major release of water. Liquefaction occurs when soil turns to liquid and the structure loses the ability to stand. The position of the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) became that Lopez Dam was to be retrofitted and brought to current standards by 2002 or be drained. In 1997 San Luis Obispo County began evaluating possible solutions to the potential liquefaction problem. Three remediation methods were proposed: excavate and replace @$30 million; stone columns with crest cut @$22 million; and stone columns with berm cut @$20 million. Table 1 provides a comparison of the three alternatives. Ultimately of the three viable retrofit methods, the County and DSOD agreed on the stone columns with berm cut solution. This seismic remediation would excavate and replace a portion of the downstream shell of the dam with stone columns. This was the least expensive ($20 million) option, caused the least environmental disruption, has the shortest construction period, and would not require a further lowering of the reservoir. STATUS REPORT - LOPEZ DAM AND RESERVOIR FINANCE COMMITTEE PAGE 2 Financing the remediation project became the focus once the stone column option was determined to be the best solution. In July 1998 the Zone 3 Technical Committee and the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control District met to discuss financial issues of the project. It became evident, at this meeting, that personnel with specialized experience were needed to solve the many issues related to the seismic remediation financing. Thus the Lopez Dam and Reservoir Finance Committee was formed in September 1998. The committee membership includes a San Luis Obispo County Engineer, the Remediation Project Manager, a Financial Advisor, a representative from the financing coordination firm (Cannon & Associates), and the Finance Director from each participating agency (Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Oceano CSD, and Avila Beach CSD). The Committee has met approximately once each month to discuss and resolve a variety of issues. A review of the prominent issues is summarized as follows: • A review was conducted of the revenues and operation costs of the Lopez Recreation Facility. The purpose of this review was to determine if it was economical to use recreation revenues to offset seismic remediation costs. It was determined that a marked decline in the use of Lopez Recreation Facility has occurred, even though the fees are competitive. It is likely that raising fees will result in a further reduction in attendance and a further reduction in revenues. Because of declining revenues, capital improvement projects and major maintenance projects have been deferred during the last seven years. The reserves of the facility are currently being used to fund normal operations. Therefore, it was concluded that it is not viable to use Lopez Recreation revenues to offset seismic remediation costs. • The benefits and drawbacks of financing options have been examined. Attachment A lists the options and the ramifications of each financing tool. The Committee determined that each participant may either become a member in a joint financing or provide the required amount through other means. Entity reserves or individual debt financing are potential sources for funding entity shares. Any agency that does not participate in a joint financing must provide its share before the issuance of the joint financing. A revenue bond, secured by water rates, was ultimately determined to be the best source of financing for those agencies wishing to participate in a joint financing. The issuance costs of the revenue bond will be shared among only the agencies participating in the joint financing. • The viability of combining debt financing for the South County Reclamation Project (approximately $11 million) and the Lopez Seismic remediation was examined. A savings of approximately $25,000 to $30,000 could be realized from combining the two projects. However, there is not a ready market for reclaimed water at this time, the timing of the two projects may not coincide, and litigation may slow the STATUS REPORT - LOPEZ DAM AND RESERVOIR FINANCE COMMITTEE PAGE 3 reclamation project. The Finance Committee presented the problems associated with combining the projects on May 20, 1999 to the Zone 3 Technical Committee. The Committee voted to retain separation between the projects. • A proposed contract for participants of the seismic remediation has been drafted. The proposed contract specifies that the distribution of costs will be based on the entitlement to water. The 1965 contract distributed costs on a weighted average that included the distribution system to bring the water to each agency. Because the distribution system is currently in place, the seismic remediation costs will be based solely on water rights. The final contract will be presented to Zone 3 participants in July 1999. • The 1965 voter approved bond issue for the construction of Lopez Dam is scheduled to be paid off in January 2004. This debt was to be paid 80% by water users and 20% through property taxes. Currently, the remaining debt service is being collected through the water bills. Because this debt received voter approval, it is possible that the remaining amount could be attached to the property tax roll. Placing the remaining debt on the tax roll will spread the repayment cost over a larger base (landowners in the unincorporated areas would pay rather than just water users in the incorporated areas). This option would also allow participants to use current cash to reduce the seismic remediation debt. The Zone 3 Technical Committee has requested that the governing body of each agency formally consider this proposal. Further discussion of the benefits and detriments to Arroyo Grande follow under "Staff Direction". Arroyo Grande Individual Issues: Arroyo Grande contracted in 1965 for 50.55% of the water from the Lopez Dam and Reservoir. Because Arroyo Grande is the largest shareholder of water, it assumed the largest share of original debt and will assume the largest share of the seismic remediation debt. This means that though the City has the largest voice it also has the largest responsibility. The total cost of the seismic remediation is estimated at $20,000,000, with Arroyo Grande responsible for $10,110,375 of debt. In return the City will receive 2,290-acre feet of water. Because Arroyo Grande's share of the remediation project is so large, it is recommended that the City participate in the joint financing of a revenue bond. There are two options for structuring the revenue bond. First, the total amount would be secured by water rates or secondly, 80% paid by water rates and 20% by property taxpayers. Under the first option, the 100 % revenue bond, the participants pledge _ STATUS REPORT - LOPEZ DAM AND RESERVOIR FINANCE COMMITTEE PAGE 4 revenues earned from the sale of water. Typically bond issuers require that a specified level of income (1.25 to 1.5 of debt payments) be received to cover debt servicing. It is estimated that this City will have to generate between $941,500 to $1,130,000 each year in water revenues. This debt coverage must be generated from water sales, from the combined total in the Water and Lopez Funds, before capital projects and capital improvements. The City has projected $2,217,900 to be generated in the two funds in Fiscal 1999-00 with no adjustments for the Lopez project. Therefore, the debt coverage will easily be met. The second option of 80% water sales and 20% property tax payers has the benefit of following the original debt structure. The disadvantage is that the electorate must approve the proposal by a 2/3-majority vote, which could be difficult to obtain. However, this option would secure the farmers and citizens outside the incorporated areas a share of the water right. If this option were to be pursued, a special election would be held in March of 2000. The details of the debt structure have not been determined at this time. After the voters approved the 1965 bond issue, the City set in place billing rates to pay that debt. The rate is a graduated scale based on the meter size, with the typical household paying $19.10 on a bi-monthly billing. This rate has remained the same since 1992, not being reviewed nor adjusted. At the time the rates were set there were fewer customers in the community contributing to the debt servicing. The number of customers has grown over the years, while the rates remained the same. This increase in customers has resulted in a current cash balance in the Lopez Fund of approximately $1,566,700. This accumulated cash can only be used for Lopez debt related costs, i.e. early repayment of the existing $1,224,600 debt. The financial advisor will help the City determine the use of these funds. A financial advisor (FA) is an important part of a financing team. The FA has the responsibility of determining financing options for the participants. The FA for the Lopez project will be determining the costs and benefits of the following: • Should the accumulated cash in the Lopez Fund be used to pay-off the 1965 voter approved debt? • Should that accumulated cash be used to reduce the amount financed for the Lopez seismic remediation? ~ Should that accumulated cash be held for future emergencies? STATUS REPORT - LOPEZ DAM AND RESERVOIR FINANCE COMMITTEE PAGE 5 • The FA will calculate a graduated bi-monthly Lopez water rate sufficient to pay the yearly debt service payments and meet the debt coverage requirements. Though the yearly debt service charge will depend on the amount financed and the use of the accumulated cash, an estimate of the revised Lopez charges has been completed. The current typical household rate of $9.55 per month ($19.10 bi-monthly) would be increased to approximately $11.85 per month ($23.70 bi-monthly). This projected $2.30 monthly increase is a preliminary calculation and is based on a worst case scenario. Staff Direction: As mentioned earlier in the report, because the 1965 bond issue received voter approval, the current unpaid portion of that debt may be placed on the tax roll. The total original debt is approximately $3 million with the City of Arroyo Grande's portion at $1,224,600. Because additions to the San Luis Obispo County tax roll must be submitted by mid August 1999, the Zone 3 Technical Committee has requested the governing bodies of all participating agencies indicate either consent or opposition to putting the debt on the tax roll. There are benefits and detriments to either position. Should all the remaining debt be placed on the tax roll, the repayment costs will be spread over a larger base, i.e. payment will be made by property owners in the incorporated cities and in the unincorporated areas, rather than only water rate payers in incorporated cities. The estimated increase to an Arroyo Grande resident's property tax bill is between $46 to $70 a year (based on $200,000 to $300,000 assessed valuation). When compared with the current yearly Lopez charge of $115 ($19.10 bi-monthly charge paid six times a year) each resident would receive a net benefit. The current cash balance in the Lopez Fund could be used to "buy down" the amount financed for the Lopez seismic remediation project. This "buy down" would reduce the amount borrowed, the amount repaid, and the amount required from the water rate payers. Placing the debt on the tax roll could strengthen the future water rights position of citizens in the unincorporated areas. The primary attraction for placing the remaining debt on the tax roll is that water customers avoid paying for two debts solely through water rates. The 1965 voter approved debt will not be paid off until January 2004, and the seismic remediation debt is scheduled to be issued in June 2000. Therefore, the two debts will coexist for approximately three and half years. During that time the City has the responsibility to issue debt service payments on both debts. Placing the 1965 debt on the tax roll and paying the seismic remediation debt through water rates spreads the cost. There are STATUS REPORT - LOPEZ DAM AND RESERVOIR FINANCE COMMITTEE PAGE 6 residents who wili pay both debts through property taxes and water rates, but the total amount will be less. However, placing remaining debt on the tax roll is not the only way available to avoid double debt payments being made by water rate payers. Other options include payments of interest only on the new debt for the first three and a half years or using cash reserves to pay off existing debt. The interest only option will increase the total debt cost while paying off $1.2 million of debt reduces cash for emergencies. A drawback of placing the remaining debt on the tax roll is property owners in the early years of the 1965 debt, in both the urban and unincorporated areas, paid 20% of the original debt through the tax roll. Those residents paying increased property tax bills may feel that their fair share was paid at that time. Resentment may be generated because the current property owners have not been consulted before adding the debt back onto the tax roll. Finally, placing the existing debt on the tax roll may generate resentment which could negatively affect a vote should the seismic remediation debt measure be placed on the ballot. Future Actions: The City's water supply contract is currently being drafted. This contract specifies the water to be received and the debt responsibility assumed by each participant. When the contract language is acceptable the contract will be presented to the City Council for consideration. As this contract must be in place before revenue bonds are issued, the financial advisor has requested all contracts be approved by December 1999. The authorization to participate in a joint revenue bond issue is a separate action that will be brought to the City Council. The debt structure will determine the date this action will be presented to City Council. If the 20% general obligation bond concept is presented to the citizens in March 2000, the debt structure will be presented to City Council after the voters have spoken. The following are the dates that decisions will be made by either the Zone 3 participants or the Arroyo Grande City Council: Water supply contracts presented to participants July 1999 Water supply contracts approved December 1999 Information gathered for Official Statement Jan. - March 2000 Special Election March 2000 City Council approve debt financing March-April 2000 Bond Sale June 2000 STATUS REPORT - LOPEZ DAM AND RESERVOIR FINANCE COMMITTEE PAGE 7 Though there are still many issues to be resolved in the Lopez Dam and Reservoir Finance Committee much has been accomplished since the Committee's September 1998 inception. This report has been prepared to provide the City Council and the community with a brief overview of that progress and the issues being faced. Alternatives: The following alternatives are provided for City Council consideration: - Provide direction to staff regarding the placement of remaining 1965 voter approved debt on the tax roll; - Approve staff recommendation to accept and file the status report; - Provide direction to staff on issues facing the Committee.
