1.      499 N Chorro Street.  TR and ER 207-05: Request for a 6 unit condominium project and public right-of-way property exchange, and environmental review; R-4 zone; Bella Vista, SLO, applicant. (Tyler Corey)

On a motion by Commissioner Christianson and seconded by Commissioner McCoy, the Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of a 6-unit airspace residential condominium project to the City Council, based on findings and subject to conditions and code requirements.  Discussion was brief and focused on site drainage.  One neighbor spoke on the project discussing concerns about the existing drainage situation and that significant improvements are needed.

2.      153 Stenner Street . TR and ER 1-06: Request for a 10-unit condominium project, and environmental review; R-3 zone; Ocean Ridge Development Group, applicant. (Jaime Hill) 

On a motion by Brown, seconded by Christianson, the Commission voted 6-0 to recommend the environmental document and tentative tract map to the City Council for final approval.  

The Commissioner’s discussion focused on drainage, density, and the social and behavioral issues of the student-dominated neighborhood. Carol Florence of Oasis Design and Brad  Breckenwald of Wallace group explained the project design and site drainage. Several neighboring property owners also spoke, their major concerns  being drainage and the effect on the neighborhood of adding additional density on the site.  

The Commission commented that the proposed project would not significantly worsen existing social conditions in the area. They did however feel that given the large size of the units additional assurance that the units would remain 2-bedrooms was needed. To that effect they added a condition to be added to the CC&R’s that only designated bedrooms be used as sleeping rooms. Commissioner Stevenson also endorsed the ARC’s direction that the units be reduced in scale to comply with setback standards.   

3.      Corner of Los Osos Valley Road and Foothill Boulevard. GPC 92-06: General Plan Conformity Report for acceptance of a conservation easement; City of San Luis Obispo, applicant. (Neil Havlik)
