Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes:
Development of the Project Area will commit non-renewable resources during construction,
and ongoing utility services provided to it. Energy resources and building materials
consumed during construction will essentially be irreversible and irretrievable. Substantial
amounts of energy and other natural resources will be consumed during the life of the
Redevelopment Plan. These resources will not, however, be consumed in amounts
significantly greater than those analyzed in the 1991 Atascadero General Plan Land Use Plan
EIR(SCH No. 90011080) and the 1993 Atascadero General Plan Circulation Element EIR
(SCH No. 92101098).
Cumulative Impacts:
The Final IR found that no additional environmental impacts would result from the
implementation of the proposed Redevelopment Plan other than those previously analyzed
and considered in the 1991 Atascadero General Plan Land Use Plan EIR and the 1993
Atascadero General Plan Circulation Element EIR.
The 1991 Land Use Plan EIR, incorporated by reference in the Final EIR, found that there
were several significant cumulative or unavoidable impacts:
000007
Atascadero Redevelopment Agency
Resolution No.RA 1999-003
Page 5 of 15
■ Cumulative deterioration of air quality in the region.
■ Buildout of the plan area would exceed capacity of local schools..
■ Increased energy and water use.
Loss of wildlife habitat and grazing lands.
■ Increased pressure to develop buildable sites
Impacts that could be mitigated to a less than significant level were:
■ Short-term air quality impacts from construction.
■ Long term air quality impacts from buildout of the plan area.
■ Additional truck traffic through the downtown and residential areas.
■ Increased average daily flow of sewage.
■ Need for additional police officers and fire protection service.
■ Increased solid waste generation.
■ Insufficient revenues to maintain current levels of service.
■ Increased traffic volumes and degradation of levels of service.
■ Insufficient water production.
■ Loss of wildlife habitat and archaeological artifacts.
The 1993 Circulation Element EIR, also incorporated by reference in the Final EIR, found
that there were no significant unavoidable impacts. Impacts that could be mitigated to a less
than significant level or were found to be less than significant were:
■ Stability of roadway structures affected by seismic shaking.
■ Increased storm drainage and erosion.
■ Short- and long-term air quality impacts.
■ Increased light and glare.
■ Lack of funding and staffing for road construction projects.
■ Disturbance of cultural artifacts.
■ Traffic hazards to schools.
■ Consumption of energy.
All impacts identified in the Final EIR as significant or potentially significant can be
mitigated to a level that is less than significant through the adoption and implementation of
mitigation measures recommended in the Final EIR and as attached in Exhibit A. Other
unavoidable impacts attributable to implementation of the proposed project have either been
determined to be less than significant, or are mitigated to less than significant levels by
measures in existing plans.
Land uses and population density will remain controlled by the Atascadero General Plan, its
Elements, and Atascadero Downtown Master Plan. These include residential uses;
commercial, including neighborhood, community-level and service commercial uses;
000008
Atascadero Redevelopment Agency
Resolution No.RA 1999-003
Page 6 of 15
industrial uses; and public facilities. The type, size, height and density of commercial,
industrial or other structures will continue to be determined by applicable federal, state and
local statutes, the General Plan, ordinances and regulations as they currently exist and are
amended from time to time. Overall, it is anticipated that population densities in the project
area will generally continue in conformance with existing patterns.
Generally, the existing street pattern will be retained unchanged as redevelopment of the
project area evolves, except for modifications and extensions in conformity with the
Circulation Element of the General Plan. Normal extensions of the existing street pattern
will also tae place as required to serve new development and to remove development
constraints that exist in the area. Use of the adopted General Plan and community zoning
regulations will ensure that redevelopment activities will remain consistent with the General
Plan over th life of the Plan.
The project will comply with the General Plan and all new development within its
boundaries will be subject to applicable zone district standards and environmental
requirement . Improvements and use of public services and facilities will be evaluated using
the land use patterns and population densities as established in the General Plan.
Section 4. The Agency hereby approves and adopts as a Mitigation Monitoring Program
those monitoring actions set forth in Exhibit A to monitor the changes or alterations that have
been required in, or incorporated into, the project in order to mitigate or substantially lessen
those significant environmental effects identified in Exhibit A.
Section 5. Upon approval and adoption of the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan by the
Redevelopment Agency, the Secretary of the Agency is hereby directed to file a Notice of
Determination with the County Clerk of Atascadero County and the Office of Planning and
Research pursuant to the provisions of Section 15094 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Section 6. he City of Atascadero, located at 6500 Palma Avenue, Atascadero, California,
is the custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of the
proceedings upon which this decision is based.
Section 7. This resolution is effective immediately upon adoption.

EXHIBIT "A"
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND FINDINGS
AND ADOPTION OF MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM FOR THE ATASCADERO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Atascadero Redevelopment Agency("the Agency"),based on its independent judgement, finds
and declares that an nvironmental impact report(EIR)for the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan(the
"Project") has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)and the State CEQA Guidelines. The Agency finds and certifies that the EIR was presented
to the Agency and that it has reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR before
acting on the project.
Based on its review f the EIR,the Agency finds that this document contains an adequate assessment
of the potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project and represents the independent
judgment of the Redevelopment Agency. The Final EIR is composed of the following elements:
■ Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Atascadero Redevelopment.Plan (including
all appendices). (February, 1999)(SCH#99011002)
■ Final Environmental Impact Report for the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan (including
all appendices). (May, 1999)
I. POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
This section identifies the potentially significant impacts of the project, references the mitigation
measures required f 6r the project, and makes one of three findings for each potential significant
impact. Section 15C 91 of the CEQA Guidelines requires that one or more of the following findings
be made for each potentially significant environmental effect:
■ Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which
avoid or substantially lessen the potentially significant environmental effect identified
in the Final EIR.
■ Changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public
agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such
other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency.
■ Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures
or mitigating project alternatives identified in the Final EIR.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Public Improvements
On the basis of research and surveys conducted by the Agency during preparation of the Preliminary
Plan, and in response to the Agency's objectives, a general description of the future programs
anticipated under the Project's Final EIR include, but are not limited to,the following:
■ Traffic circulation improvements throughout the project area, including
better access to developable properties.
■ Housing stock rehabilitation and replacement programs and new construction.
■ Improvement of infrastructure supporting the project area, including the improvement
of deficient infrastructure that creates an adverse environmental impact,that limits full
economic utilization of properties, and that is necessary for the maintenance of healthy
commercial, residential and industrial areas.
■ Enhancement of community facilities available to residents of the project area and
supportive of the local population at-large.
■ Elimination or mitigation of other existing blighting conditions and influences,including
incompatible land uses, obsolete or substandard structures, inadequate public facilities,
and/or small, irregular and landlocked parcels.
■ Revitalization and improvement of downtown Atascadero in accordance with the
Downtown Master Plan and all subsequent amendments.
Subsequent projects that are consistent with the land use designation and permitted density and
intensity of development established in the General Plan are considered to be within the scope of the
Final EIR.
Agency Development Assistance
In addition to providing assistance with public improvements which will facilitate redevelopment
of the Project Area, the Agency contemplates the provision of assistance to private development
interests in a variety of forms. Specific projects in conformance with the Redevelopment Plan to
which the Agency will seek private sector commitment and may assist are:
■ Development of new industrial and commercial uses in the Project Area;
■ Commercial building and property renovation and improvement projects and;
■ Rehabilitation and expansion of the existing private housing p g p s g stock in the community.
000012
Atascadero Redevelopment Agency
Resolution No.-RA 1999-003
Page 10 of 15
The Agency may fid it necessary to provide tax exempt financing incentives to encourage the
g Y Y g
private sector to acquire and assemble properties. Where Agency assistance is provided,the Agency
would be required to provide relocation assistance to any tenants displaced by such acquisition.
To ensure the financial feasibility of development projects in the Project Area,the Agency may find
it necessary to directly reduce the cost of redevelopment. One technique commonly used by
redevelopment agencies is the provision of tax exempt financing to reduce the financing costs of a
project. Such incentives may take the form of certificates of participation, lease revenue bonds,
industrial develop nt bonds and various forms of tax exempt notes at various terms.
III. SUMMAR OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Section 15123(b)(1) of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality
Act(CEQA Guidelines) provides that the summary shall identify each significant effect for which
proposed mitigation measures will reduce or avoid that effect. Table S-1 of the Final EIR and
reproduced below ir Section VIII, identifies those impacts, the mitigation measures and the agency
responsible for miti ation.
IV. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROJECT
Section 15126(d) of the CEQA. Guidelines requires the EIR to describe a reasonable range of
alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project,which could feasibly accomplish the basic
objectives of the pr 'ect, and to evaluate the comparative environmental effects of the alternative to
those of the proposed project. If the environmentally superior alternative is the "no project"
alternative, the EIR must also identify an environmentally superior alternative between the project
and the other evalu ted alternatives.
The EIR identifies the following alternatives:
No Project Alternative
Under this alternative, the status quo would be maintained and the redevelopment project not
implemented. Development would still continue, although at a slower pace, in accordance with the
City's existing General Plan and zoning. However, in comparison to the other alternatives,it would
not have the benefit of funding through tax increment financing. Physical and economic conditions
of blight as identified in the Preliminary Plan would continue. Adverse impacts would include
deterioration of area aesthetics, structures, employment opportunities, housing conditions, public
infrastructure, public services, road systems, traffic congestion and air quality. Free market
redevelopment is unlikely, without the aid of redevelopment actions,to stimulate revitalization of
the Project Area. T ius, blighting influences will persist and the local environmental quality would
continue to deteriorate. Absent a redevelopment plan, many needed improvements in the project
area which could not be funded by new development would be deferred.
0000IL3

Resolution No.RA 1999-003
Page 11 of 15
Private Sector Assistance Alternative
This alternative would emphasize financial assistance to private development projects, including low
interest loans and land write-downs (subsidies). Since the precise nature of private development
projects is not known until proposed,comparative environmental impacts are speculative.Assuming
full buildout,consistent with existing General Plan and zoning,impacts would be.similar or perhaps
greater than the other alternatives. Public infrastructure and transportation improvements would most
likely be inadequate to support these projects without the financial assistance that would be provided
by the proposed project.
Modified Project Boundary: Expanded and Reduced
These alternatives would create a Redevelopment Plan with either a larger or smaller Project Area.
An Expanded Boundary might encompass properties not as consistent with the intent of
redevelopment law(i.e., not necessarily visually, structurally or economically blighted).
The Reduced Boundary is the proposed project area described in its April 1996 Feasibility Study.
It omitted properties well within the definition of blight,which may reduce the comprehensiveness
of the redevelopment plan process. The Reduced Boundary is also not considered feasible since it
lacks adequate redevelopment potential in comparison to the project, lacks adequate diversity in
land uses, and has inadequate tax revenue.
Alternative Site
Redevelopment project areas must meet the legal definition of blight, as prescribed under
Community Redevelopment Law. A survey area was designated and the Project Area selected from
within the survey area.No alternative site has been evaluated, because no other area was identified
that meets the requirements of Community Redevelopment Law.
CONCLUSIONS
In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, all reasonable project alternatives have been evaluated
for their comparative environmental superiority. Based on this evaluation,it has been determined
that no single alternative exhibits environmental superiority in comparison to the proposed project.
The "no project" alternative is environmentally inferior and would fail to meet the project
objectives. Among the remaining alternatives, the Private Sector Assistance Alternative would
qualify as an environmentally superior alternative in lieu of the proposed project, as it would result
in fewer adverse impacts than the other alternatives. However, without the project there is no
feasible means of providing the requisite financial assistance. The proposed project with mitigation
measures proposed in this EIR, remains the environmentally superior project, as it provides the
fewest environmental impacts with the greatest potential beneficial impacts to the environment.
V. SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED
The Project will not result in additional significant unavoidable environmental impacts which were
00001E
Atascadero Redevelopment Agency
Resolution No.RA 1999-003
Page 12 of 15
not already analyze I in the 1991 Land Use Plan EIR and the 1993 Circulation Element EIR.
VI. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The EIR has not id ntified additional cumulative impacts in additional to the cumulative impacts
already analyzed in the 1991 Land Use Plan EIR and the 1993 Circulation Element EIR.
VII. FINDING
Based on the Final IR and the entire record,the Redevelopment Agency finds that no single project
alternative exhibits nvironmental superiority since agricultural lands included in the project would
be subject to development and the"no project"alternative would result in the elimination of projects
that will mitigate impacts identified in the EIR.
VIII. MITIGA ION MONITORING PROGRAM
Assembly Bill 318 requires a public agency to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs
for all projects for which an environmental impact report or"mitigated" negative declaration has
been prepared. The law is intended to ensure the implementation of all mitigation measures adopted
throughout the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) process.
Implementation of the Final EIR's mitigation measures, as contained in that document and
summarized in Tabl S-1,attached,is the key to development that both protects the environment and
provides essential services to future residents. The monitoring program on the following pages
provides a synopsis of the mitigation measures to be monitored,the responsible parties,and the time
period during which mitigation shall be completed.

Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes:
Development of the Project Area will commit non-renewable resources during construction,
and ongoin utility services provided to it. Energy resources and building materials
consumed daring construction will essentially be irreversible and irretrievable. Substantial
amounts of energy and other natural resources will be consumed during the life of the
Redevelopment Plan. These resources will not, however, be consumed in amounts
significantly greater than those analyzed in the 1991 Atascadero General Plan Land Use Plan
EIR(SCH No. 90011080) and the 1993 Atascadero General Plan Circulation Element EIR
(SCH No. 92101098).
Cumulative Impacts:
The Final EIR found that no additional environmental impacts would result from the
implementation of the proposed Redevelopment Plan other than those previously analyzed
and considered in the 1991 Atascadero General Plan Land Use Plan EIR and the 1993
Atascadero Cieneral Plan Circulation Element EIR.
The 1991 Lnd Use Plan EIR, incorporated by reference in the Final EIR, found that there
were severs significant cumulative or unavoidable impacts:
000023
City of Ataseadero
Resolution No. 1999-039
Page 5 of 16
■ Cumulative deterioration of air quality in the region.
■ Buildout of the plan area would exceed capacity of local schools.
■ Increased energy and water use.
■ Loss of wildlife habitat and grazing lands.
■ Increased pressure to develop buildable sites
Impacts that could be mitigated to a less than significant level were:
■ Short-term air quality impacts from construction.
■ Long.term air quality impacts from buildout of the plan area.
■ Additional truck traffic through the downtown and residential areas.
■ Increased average daily flow of sewage.
■ Need for additional police officers and fire protection service.
■ Increased solid waste generation.
■ Insufficient revenues to maintain current levels of service.
■ Increased traffic volumes and degradation of levels of service.
■ Insufficient water production.
■ Loss of wildlife habitat and archaeological artifacts.
The 1993 Circulation Element EIR,also incorporated by reference in the.Final EIR, found
that there were no significant unavoidable impacts. Impacts that could be mitigated to a less
than significant level or were found to be less than significant were:
■ Stability of roadway structures affected by seismic shaking.
■ Increased storm drainage and erosion.
■ Short- and long-term air quality impacts.
■ Increased light and glare.
■ Lack of funding and staffing for road construction projects.
■ Disturbance of cultural artifacts.
Traffic hazards to schools.
■ Consumption of energy.
All impacts identified in the Final EIR as significant or potentially significant can be
mitigated to a level that is less than significant through the adoption and implementation of
mitigation measures recommended in the Final EIR and as attached in Exhibit A. Other
unavoidable impacts attributable to implementation of the proposed project have either been
determined to be less than significant, or are mitigated to less than significant levels by
measures in existing plans.
Land uses and population density will remain controlled by the Atascadero General Plan, its
Elements, and Atascadero Downtown Master Plan. These include residential uses;
commercial, including neighborhood, community-level and service commercial uses;
0000240
City of Atascadero
Resolution No. 1999-039
Page 6 of 16
industrial uses; and public facilities. The type, size, height and density of commercial,
industrial or other structures will continue to be determined by applicable federal, state and
local statute , the General Plan, ordinances and regulations as they currently exist and are
amended from time to time. Overall, it is anticipated that population densities in the project
area will generally continue in conformance with existing patterns.
Generally, the existing street pattern will be retained unchanged as redevelopment of the
project area evolves, except for modifications and extensions in conformity with the
Circulation Element of the General Plan. Normal extensions of the existing street pattern
will also tae place as required to serve new development and to remove development
constraints that exist in the area. Use of the adopted General Plan and community zoning
regulations will ensure that redevelopment activities will remain consistent with the General
Plan over the life of the Plan.
The project will comply with the General Plan and all new development within its
boundaries will be subject to applicable zone district standards and environmental
requirement . Improvements and use of public services and facilities will be evaluated using
the land use patterns and population densities as established in the General Plan.
Section 4. The City hereby approves and adopts as a Mitigation Monitoring Program those
monitoring ctions set forth in Exhibit A to monitor the changes or alterations that have been
required in, or incorporated into,the project in order to mitigate or substantially lessen those
significant environmental effects identified in Exhibit A.
Section 5. Upon approval and adoption of the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan by the City,
the Clerk is iereby directed to file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk of San
Luis Obispo County and the Office of Planning and Research pursuant to the provisions of
Section 15094 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Section 6. The City of Atascadero, located at 6500 Palma Avenue,Atascadero, California,
is the custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of the
proceedings upon which this decision is based.
Section 7. This resolution is effective immediately upon adoption.

EXHIBIT "A"
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND FINDINGS
AND ADOPTION OF MITIGATION MONITORING
PROG M FOR THE ATASCADERO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Atascadero City Council ("the Agency"), based on its independent judgement, finds and
declares that an environmental impact report (EIR) for the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan (the
"Project") has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)and the State CEQA Guidelines. The Agency finds and certifies that the EIR was presented
to the Agency and at it has reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR before
acting on the project.
Based on its review of the EIR,the Agency finds that this document contains an adequate assessment
of the potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project and represents the independent
judgment of the Redevelopment Agency. The Final EIR is composed of the following elements:
■ Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan (including
all appendices). (February, 1999)(SCH#99011002)
Final Environmental Impact Report for the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan (including
all appendices). (May, 1999)
I. POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
This section identifies the potentially significant impacts of the project, references the mitigation
measures required for the project, and makes one of three findings for each potential significant
impact. Section 15 91 of the CEQA Guidelines requires that one or more of the following findings
be made for each p tentially significant environmental effect:
■
Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which
avoid or substantially lessen the potentially significant environmental effect identified
in the Final EIR.
■
Changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public
agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such
other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency.
■
Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures
or mitigating project alternatives identified in the Final EIR.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Public Improvements
On the basis of research and surveys conducted by the Agency during preparation of the Preliminary
Plan, and in response to the Agency's objectives, a general description of the future programs
anticipated under the Project's Final EIR include,but are not limited to,the following:
■ Traffic circulation improvements throughout the project area, including
better access to developable properties.
■ Housing stock rehabilitation and replacement programs and new construction.
■ Improvement of infrastructure supporting the project area, including the improvement
of deficient infrastructure that creates an adverse environmental impact, that limits full
economic utilization of properties, and that is necessary for the maintenance of healthy
commercial, residential and industrial areas.
■ Enhancement of community facilities available to residents of the project area and
supportive of the local population at-large.
■ Elimination or mitigation of other existing blighting conditions and influences, including
incompatible land uses, obsolete or substandard structures, inadequate public facilities,
and/or small, irregular and landlocked parcels.
■ Revitalization and improvement of downtown Atascadero in accordance with the
Downtown Master Plan and all subsequent amendments.
Subsequent projects that are consistent with the land use designation and permitted density and
intensity of development established in the General Plan are considered to be within the scope of the
Final EIR.
Agency Development Assistance
In addition to providing assistance with public improvements which will facilitate redevelopment
of the Project Area; the Agency contemplates the provision of assistance to private development
interests in a variety of forms. Specific projects in conformance with the Redevelopment Plan to
which the Agency will seek private sector commitment and may assist are:
■ Development of new industrial and commercial uses in the Project Area;
■ Commercial building and property renovation and improvement projects and;
■ Rehabilitation and expansion of the existing private housing stock in the community.
000028
City of Atascadero
Resolution No. 1999-039
Page 10 of 16
The Agency may End it necessary to provide tax exempt financing incentives to encourage the
private sector to acquire and assemble properties. Where Agency assistance is provided,the Agency
would be required ta provide relocation assistance to any tenants displaced by such acquisition.
To ensure the financial feasibility of development projects in the Project Area,the Agency may find
it necessary to directly reduce the cost of redevelopment. One technique commonly used by
redevelopment agencies is the provision of tax exempt financing to reduce the financing costs of a
project. Such incentives may take the form of certificates of participation, lease revenue bonds,
industrial developnient bonds and various forms of tax exempt notes at various terms.
III. SUMMAWV OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Section 15123(b)(1 of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality
Act(CEQA Guidelines)provides that the summary shall identify each significant effect for which
proposed mitigation measures will reduce or avoid that effect. Table S-1 of the Final EIR and
reproduced below in Section VIII, identifies those impacts,the mitigation measures and the agency
responsible for mitigation.
IV. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROJECT
Section 15126(d) of the CEQA Guidelines requires the EIR to describe a reasonable range of
alternatives to the project,or to the location of the project,which could feasibly accomplish the basic
objectives of the project, and to evaluate the comparative environmental effects of the alternative to
those of the proposed project. If the environmentally superior alternative is the "no project"
alternative, the EIR must also identify an environmentally superior alternative between the project
and the other evaluated alternatives.
The EIR identifies the following alternatives:
No Project Alternative
Under this alternative, the status quo would be maintained and the redevelopment project not
implemented. Devc lopment would still continue,although of a slower pace, in accordance with the
City's existing General Plan and zoning. However, in comparison to the other alternatives, it would
not have the benefit of funding through tax increment financing. Physical and economic conditions
of blight as identified in the Preliminary Plan would continue. Adverse impacts would include
deterioration of area aesthetics, structures, employment opportunities, housing conditions, public
infrastructure, public services, road systems, traffic congestion and air quality. Free market
redevelopment is unlikely, without the aid of redevelopment actions, to stimulate revitalization of
the Project Area. Thus,blighting influences will persist and the local environmental quality would
continue to deteriorate. Absent a redevelopment plan, many needed improvements in the project
area which could n t be funded by new development would be deferred.
000029
City of Ataseadero
Resolution No. 1999-039
Page 11 of 16
Private Sector Assistance Alternative
This alternative would emphasize financial assistance to private development projects, including low
interest loans and land write-downs (subsidies). Since the precise nature of private development
projects is not known until proposed,comparative environmental impacts are speculative. Assuming
full buildout,consistent with existing General Plan and zoning,impacts would be similar or perhaps
greater than the other alternatives. Public infrastructure and transportation improvements would most
likely be inadequate to support these projects without the financial assistance that would be provided
by the proposed project.
Modified Project Boundary: Expanded and Reduced
These alternatives would create a Redevelopment Plan with either a larger or smaller Project Area.
An Expanded Boundary might encompass properties not as consistent with the intent of
redevelopment law(i.e., not necessarily visually, structurally or economically blighted).
The Reduced Boundary is the proposed project area described in its April 1996 Feasibility Study.
It omitted properties well within the definition of blight,which may reduce the comprehensiveness
of the redevelopment plan process. The Reduced Boundary is also not considered feasible since it
lacks adequate redevelopment potential in comparison to the project, lacks adequate diversity in
land uses, and has inadequate tax revenue.
Alternative Site
Redevelopment project areas must meet the legal definition of blight, as prescribed under
Community Redevelopment Law. A survey area was designated and the Project Area selected from
within the survey area. No alternative site has been evaluated, because no other area was identified
that meets the requirements of Community Redevelopment Law.
CONCLUSIONS
In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, all reasonable project alternatives have been evaluated
for their-comparative environmental superiority. Based on this evaluation, it has been determined
that no single alternative exhibits environmental superiority in comparison to the proposed project.
The "no project alternative is environmentally inferior and would fail to meet the project
objectives. Among the remaining alternatives, the Private Sector Assistance Alternative would
qualify as an environmentally superior alternative in lieu of the proposed project, as it would result
in fewer adverse impacts than the other alternatives. However, without the project there is no
feasible means of providing the requisite financial assistance. The proposed project with mitigation
measures proposed in this EIR, remains the environmentally superior project, as it provides the
fewest environmental impacts with the greatest potential beneficial impacts to the environment.
V. SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED
The Project will not result in additional significant unavoidable environmental impacts which were
J g p
0000-0
City of Atascadero
Resolution No. 1999-039
Page 12 of 16
not already analyze d
_in the 1991 Land Use Plan EIR and the 1993 Circulation Element EIR.
VI. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The EIR has not identified additional cumulative impacts in additional to the cumulative impacts
already analyzed in the 1991 Land Use Plan EIR and the 1993 Circulation Element EIR.
VII. FINDINGS
Based on the Final E IR and the entire record,the Redevelopment Agency finds that no single project
alternative exhibits environmental superiority since agricultural lands included in the project would
be subject to develo ment and the"no project"alternative would result in the elimination of projects
that will mitigate impacts identified in the EIR.
VIII. MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
Assembly Bill 3180 requires a public agency to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs
for all projects forwhich an environmental impact report or "mitigated" negative declaration has
been prepared. The law is intended to ensure the implementation of all mitigation measures adopted
throughout the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)process.
Implementation of the Final EIR's mitigation measures, as contained in that document and
summarized in Table S-1,attached, is the key to development that both protects the environment and
provides essential services to future residents. The monitoring program on the following pages
provides a synopsis of the mitigation measures to be monitored,the responsible parties, and the time
period during which mitigation shall be completed.

RESOLUTION RA 1999-005
A RESOLUTION OF THE
ATASCADERO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE
ATASCADERO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
WHEREAS the Planning Commission and the Atascadero Redevelopment Agency adopted
a Preliminary Plan for the redevelopment of the Atascadero Redevelopment Project which includes
the following goals and objectives:
(1) Expansion and diversification of the community's economic and employment base,
through the facilitation of more year-round employment opportunities, including
industrial development and expansion.
(2) Improvement and revitalization of the community's service commercial and industrial
areas.
(3) Recapture of general retail sales leakage from the City of Atascadero to other trade
centers.
(4) Improvement of traffic circulation throughout the Project Area,including better access
to developable properties.
(5) Improvement in the quality of the community's existing housing stock, through
rehabilitation and replacement programs and new construction.
(6) Improvement of infrastructure supporting the Project Area, including the improvement
of deficient infrastructure that creates an adverse environmental impact,that limits full
economic utilization of properties, and that is necessary for the maintenance of healthy
commercial,residential and industrial areas.
(7) Creation/enhancement of recreational and cultural opportunities available to the
residents of the Project Area and of the community at-large. `
(8) Enhancement of community facilities available to residents of the Project Area and
supportive of the local population at-large.
(9) Elimination or mitigation of other existing blighting conditions and influences,
including incompatible land uses,obsolete or substandard structures,inadequate public
facilities, and/or small,irregular and landlocked parcels.
1
000044
WHEREAS,the Agency has prepared a Preliminary Report and Report to Council in order
to address the follo ng factual blighting conditions:
(1) Unsafe or unhealthy buildings as evidenced by abandoned structures
constituting attractive nuisances and fire hazards. According to the building
conditions survey, forty percent (40%) of the single-family residential
structures are in need of some form of repair or rehabilitation.
Approximately nine percent (9%) are considered to require major
rehabilitation or demolition.
(2) Parcels along El Camino Real suffer from inadequate access and a lack of
infrastructure that have prevented their successful development in the past.
Parcels in north El Camino Drive area are also undersized and not
appropriate for their intended commercial land uses. Many are developed
with depreciated single family dwellings on smaller parcels. Consequently,
it is necessary to acquire multiple parcels, dislocate tenants, and to incur
higher-than-market land acquisition costs to assemble parcels adequate for
modern commercial use. Many of these parcels also have excessive depth to
width ratios, exceeding 5:1 in many cases, which further hinder their
effective use.
(3) Parcels along the west side of north El Camino Real are served by parking
facilities which are not fully developed. On-site parking is, in some cases
non-existent or undeveloped. The size and configuration of lots further
hinder effective use of commercial building sites because of lack of adequate
on-site circulation, excessive number of drive approaches, and topographic
site conditions which require greater setbacks and longer drive approaches
than now permitted. Other physical factors which hinder the effective use of
parcels are inconsistent or irregular parcel size, adjacent incompatible land
uses and poor housing conditions on adjacent properties.
(4) The Area includes uses which are incompatible with each other due to use
characteristics,or due to the lack of onsite parking, storage areas,or type of
operations. Single family uses are generally intermixed with larger
commercial uses along El Camino Real. Industrial uses contribute significant
traffic volumes to City roadways and create traffic impacts at key connection
points to the City's main traffic arteries. The wrecking yard property on
Traffic Way is also considered to be an incompatible land use.
(5) Irregular parcelization as demonstrated in the Report to Council.
(6) Depreciated or stagnant property values are evidenced by the lack of
development and the presence of underdeveloped properties in the Project
2
000045
Area. The stagnant property values are indicated by the vacant shop
properties along El Camino Real, by the underdeveloped or undeveloped
properties on north El Camino Real,and the underdeveloped properties along
Traffic Way. All of these properties are designated for urban uses by the
City's General Plan.
(7) The area has historically suffered from depressed property values for
comparable dwelling units and properties elsewhere in the community.
According to the County Auditor Controller growth in assessed valuation has
averaged 2.2 per year over the last five years despite some development.
Single family residential properties have market values ranging from seventy-
one percent to ninety-two percent of the City average. Rents in the area are
also below the City norm with rents averaging eighty to ninety-five percent
of City medians. These depressed property values have a significant, adverse
affect on City operations since typical single family residential uses in the
area generate a need for approximately$470 per year in City services while
generating only$199 per year in property tax and state per capita subventions
according to the Long Range Fiscal Analysis. Similarly,industrial properties
in the area negatively impact general fund revenue, generating $1,100 in
property tax revenues per acre while having allocated costs of$5,500 per acre
for general fund services.
(8) Overcrowding exists in residential areas of the Project Area and multi-family
units on south El Camino Real. Smaller lots in these areas provide less than
adequate open space. Overcrowding in residential units also exists according
to the 1990 Census. Overcrowding is defined as 1.01 person per habitable
room and Substantial Overcrowding is defined as more the 1.5 persons per
habitable room. Overcrowding is considered to be an indicator of inadequate
residential design and development in units or areas impacted by
overcrowding. Over twenty-four percent of the residential units are
overcrowded with substantial overcrowding existing in fourteen percent of
the dwelling units in the Project Area, according to the 1990 Census.
WHEREAS,the Agency finds that the project area is predominantly urbanized as
evidenced by the Report to Council.
WHEREAS the Agency finds that there are no parcels that are enforceably restricted for
agricultural use.
WHEREAS, the Amendment has been prepared in conformance with the California
Community Redevelopment Law, California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et. seq.
(hereinafter all statutory references will be in the California Health and Safety Code, unless
otherwise indicated); and
3
000046
WHEREAS, the Atascadero Planning Commission reviewed the proposed redevelopment
plan and associated boundaries and recommended approval of the plan, and found the plan to be in
conformance with thD Atascadero General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the Agency has prepared a Report.to Council and an Implementation Plan
which describe the relationship of the proposed added capital projects to the Redevelopment Plan's
goals and objectives and,
WHEREAS, a public hearing was conducted on June 29, 1999 on the plan,notice for which
was made for four su cessive weeks prior to such hearing in the Atascadero News, a local newspaper
of general circulation, and thirty days mailed notice to all property owners, affected taxing entities,
businesses and residents as prescribed by Law; and,
WHEREAS, a Agency has considered the factual evidence presented in the EIR,the Report
to Council,written objections to the Amendment to the Plan, if any, and public testimony.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The above recitals are true and correct.
2. The Atascadero Redevelopment Agency hereby approves and adopts the Plan and
recommends that the City Council adopt the Ordinance on file in the office of the
City lerk which approves the amendment.
3. The Implementation Plan for the Atascadero Redevelopment Plan is hereby adopted
and the Implementation Plan contained in the Redevelopment Plan shall become the

Atascadero GeneralPlan were implemented.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That thePmP ose and intent of the Council with respect to the redevelopment of
the Project Area is to accomplish the following:
(1) Expansion and diversification of the community's economic and employment
base,through the facilitation of more year-round employment opportunities,
including industrial development and expansion.
(2) Improvement and revitalization of the community's service commercial and
industrial areas.
(3) Recapture of general retail sales leakage from the City of Atascadero to other
trade centers.
(4) Improvement of traffic circulation throughout the Project Area, including
better access to developable properties.
(5) Improvement in the quality of the community's existing housing stock,
through rehabilitation and replacement programs and new construction.
(6) Improvement of infrastructure supporting the Project Area, including the
improvement of deficient infrastructure that creates an adverse environmental
impact, that limits full economic utilization of properties, and that is
2
0®005'
necessary for the maintenance of healthy commercial, residential and
industrial areas.
(7) Creation/enhancement of recreational and cultural opportunities available to
the residents of the Project Area and of the community at-large.
(8), Enhancement of community facilities available to residents of the Project
Area and supportive of the local population at-large.
(9) Elimination or mitigation of other existing blighting conditions and
influences, including incompatible land uses, obsolete or substandard
structures,inadequate public facilities,and/or small,irregular and landlocked
parcels.
Section 2. The Council hereby finds and determines that:
a. The Project Area is blighted,the redevelopment of which is necessary to effectuate
the public purposes declared in the California Community Redevelopment Law
(Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.). This finding is based upon the
following conditions which characterize the Project Area:
(1) Unsafe or unhealthy buildings as evidenced by abandoned structures
constituting attractive nuisances and fire hazards. According to the building
conditions survey, forty percent (40%) of the single-family residential
structures are in need of some form of-repair or rehabilitation.
Approximately nine percent (9%) are considered to require major
rehabilitation or demolition.
(2) Parcels along El Camino Real suffer from inadequate access and a lack of
infrastructure that have prevented their successful development in the past.
Parcels in north El Camino Drive area are also undersized and not
appropriate for.their intended commercial land uses. Many are developed
with depreciated single family dwellings on smaller parcels. Consequently,
it is necessary to acquire multiple parcels, dislocate tenants, and to incur
higher-than-market land acquisition costs to assemble parcels adequate for
modern commercial use. Many of these parcels also have excessive depth to
width ratios, exceeding 5:1 in many cases, which further hinder their
effective use.
(3) Parcels along the west side of north El Camino Real are served by parking
facilities which are not fully developed. On-site parking is, in some cases
non-existent or undeveloped. The size and configuration of lots further
3
000058
. hinder effective use of commercial building sites because of lack of adequate
on-site circulation, excessive number of drive approaches, and topographic
site conditions which require greater setbacks and longer drive approaches
than now permitted. Other physical factors which hinder the effective use of
parcels are inconsistent or irregular parcel size, adjacent incompatible land
uses and poor housing conditions on adjacent properties.
(4) The Area includes uses which are incompatible with each other due to use
characteristics,or due to the lack of onsite parking, storage areas,or type of
operations. Single family uses are generally intermixed with larger
commercial uses along El Camino Real. Industrial uses contribute significant
traffic volumes to City roadways and create traffic impacts at key connection
points to the City's main traffic arteries. The wrecking yard property on
Traffic Way is also considered to be an incompatible land use.
(5) Irregular parcelization as demonstrated in the Report to Council.
(6) Depreciated or stagnant property values are evidenced by the lack of
development and the presence of underdeveloped properties in the Project
Area. The stagnant property values are indicated by the vacant shop
properties along El Camino Real,by the underdeveloped or undeveloped
properties on north El Camino Real, and the underdeveloped properties
along Traffic Way. All of these properties are designated for urban uses
by the City's General Plan.
(7) The area has historically suffered from depressed property values for
comparable dwelling units and properties elsewhere in the community.
According to the County Auditor Controller growth in assessed valuation
has averaged 2.2 per year over the last five years despite some
development. Single family residential properties have market values
ranging from seventy-one percent to ninety-two percent of the City
average. Rents in the area are also below the City norm with rents
averaging eighty to ninety-five percent of City medians. These depressed
property values have a significant,adverse affect on City operations since
typical single family residential uses in the area generate a need for
approximately$470 per year in City services while generating only$199
per year in property tax and state per capita subventions according to-the
Long Range Fiscal Analysis. Similarly,industrial properties in the area
negatively impact general fund revenue, generating $1,100 in property
tax revenues per acre while having allocated costs of$5,500 per acre for
general fund services.
4
000059
(8) Overcrowding exists in residential areas of the Project Area and multi-
family units on south El Camino Real. Smaller lots in these areas provide
less than adequate open space. Overcrowding in residential units also
exists according to the 1990 Census. Overcrowding is defined as 1.01
person per habitable room and Substantial Overcrowding is defined as
more the 1.5 persons per habitable room. Overcrowding is considered to
be an indicator of inadequate residential design and development in units
or areas impacted by overcrowding. Over twenty-four percent of the
residential units are overcrowded with substantial overcrowding existing
in fourteen percent of the dwelling units in the Project Area,according to
the 1990 Census.
These findings are based on the facts presented in the Preliminary Report for the
Atascadero Redevelopment Plan, the Report to Council for the Plan, the
Supplemental EIR, public testimony and declarations by City officials. Some
blighting conditions have increased in intensity, despite the Agency's aggressive
efforts to mitigate them.
b. It is further found and determined that such conditions are causing and will
increasingly cause a reduction and lack of proper utilization of the area to
such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical and economic burden on
the City,which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by
private enterprise acting alone,requiring redevelopment in the interest of the
health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City and the State.
This finding is based on the fact that governmental action available to the
City without redevelopment would be insufficient to cause any significant
correction of the blighting conditions, and that the nature and costs of the
public improvements and facilities required to correct the blighting
conditions are beyond the capacity of the City and cannot be undertaken or
borne by private enterprise acting alone.
C. That the project is urbanized as defined by Section(b)of Section 33320.1 of
the Health and Safety Code. This finding is based on the fact that the Project
Area is 87.3 percent urbanized as shown in revised Table 2-1 of the Report
to Council. Such urbanized parcels include those that are or have been used
for urban uses, are characterized as being of irregular form and shape,
inadequate in size for proper usefulness, and/or which are in multiple
ownership; and, integral parcels which are substantially surrounded by
parcels which are or have been developed for urban uses.
d. The Plan, along with other actions authorized by the Plan,will redevelop the
Project Area in conformity with the Community Redevelopment Law in the
interests of the public peace,health, safety and welfare. This finding is based
upon the fact that redevelopment of the Project Area will implement the
000060
objectives of the Community Redevelopment Law by aiding in the
e ation and correction of the conditions of blight,providing for planning,
d velopment, redesign, clearance, reconstruction or rehabilitation of
poperties which need improvement and providing for higher economic
u ilization of potentially useful land.
e. tie adoption and carrying out of the Plan is economically sound and feasible.
Further, that the time limitations and any applicable limitations on the
n iniber of dollars that may be allocated to the Agency that are contained in
e plan are reasonably related to the proposed projects to be implemented in
e project area and to the ability of the Agency to eliminate blight within the
P cject Area. These findings are based on the fact that under the Plan, the
gency will be authorized to seek and utilize a variety of potential financing
resources, including tax increments; that the nature and timing of public
redevelopment assistance will depend on the amount and availability of such
financing resources, including tax increments generated by new investment
in the Project Area; and that under the Redevelopment Plan, no public
redevelopment activity will be undertaken unless the Agency can
demonstrate that it has adequate revenue to finance the activity; and, further
at Report to Council indicates that there is a balance of anticipated revenues
with the proposed needs of the Project Area.
f. The Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City of Atascadero. This
Ending is based on the Atascadero Planning Commission findings and the
Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City of Atascadero.
g. 1 he carrying out of the Plan will promote the public peace,health, safety and
elfare of the City of Atascadero and will effectuate the purposes and policy
f the Community Redevelopment Law. This fmding is based on the fact
t iat redevelopment will benefit the Project Area by correcting conditions of
light and by coordinating public and private actions to stimulate
evelopment'and improve the economic and physical conditions of the
roj ect Area.
h. The Agency has a feasible method and plan for the relocation of families and
persons who might be displaced,temporarily or permanently, from housing.
cilities in the Project Area. This finding is based upon the fact that the Plan
provides for relocation assistance and replacement housing according to law.
i. There are,or are being provided,within the Project Area or within other areas
of generally less desirable with regard to public utilities and public and
commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of the
�hmilies and persons who might be displaced from the Project Area,decent,
afe and sanitary dwellings equal in number to the number of and available

to such displaced families and persons and reasonably accessible to their
places of employment. This finding is based upon the fact that no person or
family will be required to move from any dwelling unit until suitable
replacement housing is available and a relocation plan has been adopted
pursuant to Sections 33411 and 33411.1 of the Community Redevelopment
Law.
j. The elimination of blight and the redevelopment of the Project Area could not
reasonably be expected to be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone
without the aid and assistance of the Agency. This finding is based upon the
existence of blighting influences,including faulty or inadequate utilities,and
the inability of individual developers to economically remove these blighting
influences without substantial public assistance in providing adequate
utilities,the inability of low and moderate income persons to finance needed
improvements, and the inadequacy of other governmental programs and
financing mechanisms to eliminate blight, including the provision of
necessary utilities.
k. The Plan for the Project Area will afford the maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the redevelopment
of such area by private enterprise.
1. The Plan contains adequate safeguards so that the work of redevelopment will
be carried out pursuant to the Plan, and it provides for the retention of
controls and the establishment of restrictions and covenants running with the
land sold or leased for private use for periods of time and under conditions
specified in the Plan, which this Council deems necessary to effectuate the
purposes of the Community Redevelopment Law.
In. There are no non-contiguous areas of the Project Area and all areas are either
blighted or necessary or effective redevelopment and are not included for the
purpose of obtaining the allocation of taxes from the area pursuant to Section
33670. Significant economic and physical conditions of blight in
conformance with State law as demonstrated in the Report to Council and the
Preliminary Report. The Project Area meets the blight test in the areas of the
prevalence of unsafe and unhealthy buildings, presence of conditions
preventing or hindering their economically viable use,presence of irregular
parcelization, depreciated property values,residential overcrowding, excess
of bars, liquor stores and adult oriented uses, and a high crime rate.
n. The inclusion of lands,buildings,or improvements which are not individually
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare is necessary for the
effective redevelopment of the Project Area of which they are apart and that
any area so included is necessary for effective redevelopment is not included
for the purpose of obtaining the allocation of tax increment revenues from the
7
000062
area pursuant to Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code. The
substantial justification for inclusion of such lands is as follows:
O The inclusion of such properties is necessary for the economic
feasibility for redevelopment of the Project Area. The Report to
Council demonstrates that these areas are needed to generate
sufficient tax increment revenues to complete the projects
described in the Preliminary Report and the Report to Council
( ) The exclusion of these properties would make implementation of
the project infeasible since the Agency would not be able to
comprehensively plan the area and undertake projects in an
effective manner.
3) The non-blighted properties are adversely affected by the blighted
properties. The Report to Council demonstrates that while there
are relative concentrations of blight within the Project Area,
respectively,the adverse influence of the blighted properties has
affected all properties within the Project Area as demonstrated by
the Report to Council.
4) The non-blight properties will benefit from the Agency's activities
since infrastructure will be extended,commercial facilities
provided, crime reduced, and other conditions remedied that will
increase these properties values.
Section I. The Council is satisfied that permanent housing facilities will be available
within three years from the time occupants of the Project Area are displaced, if any,
and that pending the development of the facilities, there will be available to the
displaced occupants,if any,adequate temporary housing facilities at rents compara-
ble to th se in the City of Atascadero at the time of their displacement. No persons
or families of low or moderate income shall be displaced from residences unless and
until there is a suitable housing unit available and ready for occupancy by such
displaced persons or families at rents comparable to those at the time of their
displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to the needs of such displaced
persons or families and must be decent, safe, sanitary and otherwise standard
dwellings. The Agency shall not displace any such persons or families until such
housing units are available and ready for occupancy.
Section 4. The Council is satisfied that all written objections received before or at
the noticed public hearing have been responded to in writing. In addition, written
findings have been adopted in response to each written objection of an affected
property owner or taxing entity which has been filed with the City Clerk either before
or at the notice public hearing.
