  • Piedras Blancas Motel Feasibility Study and Redevelopment Alternatives
    PIEDRAS BLANCAS MOTEL FEASIBILITY STUDY AND REDEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES A Professional Project presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of City and Regional Planning by Gordon Douglas Anderson June 2010 © 2010 Gordon Douglas Anderson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Piedras Blancas Motel Feasibility Study and Redevelopment Alternatives AUTHOR: Gordon Douglas Anderson DATE SUBMITTED: June 2010 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Hemalata Dandekar, PhD., (Department Head, City and Regional Planning) COMMITTEE MEMBER: Emmit Bud Evans, PhD., (Faculty Emeritus, Political Science) COMMITTEE MEMBER: Lisa Wise, (President, Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc.) (Guest Lecturer, City and Regional Planning) iii ABSTRACT Piedras Blancas Motel Feasibility Study and Redevelopment Alternatives Gordon Douglas Anderson The Piedras Blancas Motel is a 1950’s era roadside motel comprised of 11 lodging units, plus a cafe, laundry room, manager’s apartment, and adjacent storage area. It is located seven miles north of San Simeon and nine miles south of the San Luis Obispo/Monterey County line. In 2005, the property was purchased using State, Federal, and private funds, and then transferred to the California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks). Although it has been closed to the public since 2005, the Site offers day-use parking and convenient beach access. This professional project, under contract with the California Coastal Conservancy, provides information necessary for the future redevelopment of the Piedras Blancas Motel. It demonstrates the feasibility of a preferred development alternative through several analyses including: a structural analysis of the existing building(s), a constraints analysis, an evaluation of regulatory requirements, and an assessment of redevelopment options based on preliminary market research and financial analysis.
