OF THE CITY OF MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA
INITIATING THE AMENDMENT OF SECTION 17.44.020 OF THE
MORRO BAY MUNICIPAL CODE ALLOWING REUSE OF EXISTING COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS IN THE BEACH STREET SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
WITHOUT NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING
WHEREAS, based upon the initial recommendation of City staff, the City Council of Morro
Bay desires to consider amending in the near future the Morro Bay Municipal Code (Title 17, Zoning
Code) and Coastal Implementation Plan, specifically section 17.44.020 to include language allowing
reuse of existing commercial buildings without need for the provision of additional parking in the Beach
Street Specific Plan area; and
WHEREAS, City staff believes that allowing reuse of commercial buildings in the Beach Street
Specific Plan area will serve to encourage economic development in the area through simplification of
the process for establishment of new businesses; and
WHEREAS, initiation of amendments to section 17.44.020 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code
and Coastal Implementation Plan will take place in a manner consistent with 17.64 (Amendments) of the
same document; and
WHEREAS, it is important to have clear, consistent, and easy to interpret policies within the
Morro Bay Municipal Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Morro Bay as
follows:
1. The City Council directs staff to prepare amendments to section 17.44.020 of the Municipal
Code/Coastal Implementation Plan, for consideration of adoption by the City Council at a future
City Council Meeting, to allow reuse of commercial buildings located in the Beach Street
Specific Plan area, without requirement for additional parking spaces.
2. By adopting this Resolution, neither the City Council nor any individual Council Member has
committed to actually adopting the proposed amendments to section 17.44.020 and they are
withholding any such decision regarding whether to adopt the amendments until such time as
they have first considered any required environmental analysis of the proposed amendments and
adopted any necessary environmental findings pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
