COMMUNITY FORUM
Atascadero City Council Meeting
July 28, 1998
My name is Henry Engen and I live at 9575 Lake View Drive. And, yes, I've
pulled papers to run for the City Council but that shouldn't detract from the
concern 1 am here to express this evening.
I urge you all to please take a look at what's happening across the street
from 5920 Venado, just off of Santa Lucia. You will see 3 railroad boxcars
or sea cargo containers (I'm not sure which) being placed on a single-
family residential lot next to St. Williams Church. The staff has approved a
grading permit to allow this abomination as a principal use of the property
because the church owns the property. This interpretation represents an
assault on the character of this neighborhood and means that any vacant
lot owned by an adjoining owner can be a site for railroad boxcars
anywhere in Atascadero.
I am convinced this interpretation is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance:
an accessory use can not be the principal use of a residentially zoned lot.
This matter can be remedied by admitting administrative error and
rescinding the permit. I hope you will pursue this course of action to
protect this residential neighborhood.

City Mana er s Agenda Report
Wade G. McKi ney
General Plan Amendment Request
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends: Council authorizes staff to process General Plan Amendment request for
Atascadero Unified School District.
DISCUSSION:
On July 22, 1998, the Atascadero Unified School District submitted a request to rezone property
owned by the District on El Camino Real from public to RMF-16. The rezoning would also
require a corresponding General Plan Amendment. The District has abandoned plans to build a
school on the proper and has recently entered into escrow to sell the property. The District is
requesting the Coun it initiate the General Plan Amendment so they do not have to wait until the
October cycle.
Resolution 26-95, adopting procedures for the initiation and processing of amendments to the
General Plan,provid s "public" amendment requests to be submitted on April 1 and October 1 of
each year. The resol ation provides the City Council the authority to initiate amendments to the
general Plan at any time. The amendments submitted in April of this year are scheduled for
consideration by the Planning Commission later this month. Should the Council authorize staff
to process this amendment, it would be included with the April cycle of General Plan
Amendments.
The District has submitted a completed application and paid all appropriate fees for processing of
the application.
FISCAL IMPA T: None
ALTERNATIV S:
The Council may tA e no action on this request. This would result in the application being held
until the October 1 cycle with processing beginning at that time.

City Manager's Agenda Report
Wade G. McKinney
Acceptance of Final Parcel Map
(Vista Bonita Avenue/ATAL 96-135)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends:
1. That Council accept the final Parcel Map for approved Lot Line Adjustment#96008.
DISCUSSION:
• In 1988,the City Council approved a tentative tract map (Tract 1562) and zone change (PD
Overlay)that allowed the applicant to cluster six(6) lots of the original Eaglet Tract into six(6)
small residential lots and a larger open space lot. That approved tentative map expired in 1992
• but the zoning which allowed for six(6)small residential lots remained until 1997.
In 1997, the Councilapproved three (3)different applications affecting the site: a Zone Change;
a Lot Line Adjustme t; and a Road Abandonment. The Zone Change eliminated the PD Overlay
Zone and the Lot Lire Adjustment allowed the existing six(6) Eaglet lots to be adjusted such
that only three (3) lots would exist. In addition, the approved lot line adjustment allowed for the
lot line shared in common with an adjoining subdivision(Tract 1488)to be adjusted. This, along
with the abandonme t of a portion of Vista Bonita Avenue, made for suitable building sites on
each of the three nem,lots.
All Conditions of Approval attached to the Lot Line Adjustment have now been satisfied and a
final Parcel Map has been signed by the City Engineer and made ready for recordation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Final Map acceptance would have negligible fiscal effects.
