Land Use Alternatives Sites A through E were reviewed at a joint meeting of the City Council and
Planning Commission held March 28, 2017,
Site F — Tri-W Site
No land use changes are proposed. The Planning Commission recommended Measure H
boundaries be better defined. It was noted any change in land use would require a vote of the
people.
Site G —State Route 41 Gateway
The Council supported changes in land use designation, as proposed:
• Redesignate the parcels where the mobile home park is located from Visitor -Serving
Commercial to Medium Density Residential.
• Redesignate the area adjacent to Highway 41 on the north side closest to Highway 1 from
Mixed Use to Visitor Serving Commercial,
Site H — Measure D Area
Except for minor changes to make land use and zoning consistent on this site, no changes to land
use are proposed. Clarification of Measure D could be considered during the zoning code update.
The Planning Commission recommended the area north of Coleman Drive be changed to Open
Space/Recreation,
Site I —Morro Bay Boulevard Gateway
Mayor Irons announced he and Council Member Headding would recuse themselves from
discussion of Site I as they are property owners in that area. With Council consent, he turned
the meeting over to Council Member Makowetski and they left the dais.
It is recommended the far western end of the block containing City Park be changed from District
Commercial to Open Space/Recreation to create a future opportunity to expand park space. The
Planning Commission recommended pulling the area closest to the roundabout into Site J, and
that areas northwest of the park on Harbor Street be designated for commercial oriented uses
that focus on families and entertainment. The Council supported the recommended changes.
