Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services Department
Adoption of the City of Atascadero
Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area Map
RECOMMENDATION:
Council introduce for first reading, by title only Draft Ordinance, amending the City of
Atascadero Fire Code.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is proposing to amend the City of Atascadero Fire Code to include the adoption of
a new Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area map . The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan that
was adopted by Council on 1/26/2021, references the State Fire Hazard Severity Zone
Map. This State map of Atascadero was updated in 2009 and is located on the Cal Fire
Website. It is currently the State’s adopted map and may be used by insurance
companies or other industries or individuals to determine the extent of wildland fire
threat in a given area.
It is also mandated by California Government Code that a fire severity map be adopted
by the City. Current City Building Code requires that structures built in those areas
depicted on the City map as either “Very High Fire Severity” or “High Fire Severity” be
built to the more fire resilient Wildland Building Code Standards. The City fire severity
map may be updated for the needs of the City, but at minimum must incorporate those
areas shown as “Very High” fire severity on the State Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map.
Staff is proposing the adoption of a new City Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area map
that will meet these State requirements.
The City of Atascadero has never offi cially adopted a map that meets the State
requirements, but instead has used a much older San Luis Obispo County Fire Hazard
Severity Zone Map. The State map and the current County map used by staff are
similar in the area subject to the Wildland Building Code Standards, but the delineation
between “very high” and “high” is different. In addition, the State map does incorporate
a section of town just west of Highway 101 and just north of Highway 41 that has not
previously been subject to the Wildland Building Code Standards.
Page 36 of 63
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 02/23/21
Because of the adoption of the updated LHMP with reference to the State Fire Hazard
Severity Zone Map, as well as the State mandate to adopt the City map that delineates
the area subject to the Wildland Building Code Standards, staff believes it is the
appropriate time to adopt a City of Atascadero Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area Map.
This map brings together the Very High Hazard Areas of the State Map and the
High/Very High Hazard Areas of our current County Map.
By combining the two, the City is meeting or exceeding the requirements of the State
and maintaining the existing Wildland Building Code standards. Increased Wildland
Building Code Standards will impact only the small area mentioned previously. This
area can be seen on the WUI Fire Area Map (Attachment 2) and in general includes
portions of Cascabel Road and a section west of Highway 101 between Ardilla Road
and San Marcos Road.
In order to adopt the City of Atascadero Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area Map, Stat e
Law requires the City Council to amend by ordinance the Fire Code of the Atascadero
Municipal Code. The Fire Code was last updated in January of 2020 to adopt the 2019
editions of the California Fire Code and 2018 Edition of the Wildand -Urban Interface
Code. While amending Chapter 49 of the Fire Code to include the WUI Map, a few
minor errors were noticed that will be corrected with this amendment. These
corrections include adding the list of sections to the Fire Code title page, minor
renumbering in section 907 and adding Section 4-7.104. This section includes the local
modifications to the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code. It was included in the
2017 version and left out inadvertently in 2020.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Council could direct staff to modify the City of Atascadero Wildland Urban Interface
Fire Area Map.
2. Council could choose not to adopt the proposed City of Atascadero Wildland Urban
Interface Fire Area Map.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO HEREBY
ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals: The above recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Public Hearing. The City Council of the City of Atascadero, at a Public
Hearing held on March 9, 2021, considered the proposed amendments.
SECTION 3. Findings. The City Council makes the following findings, determinations
and approvals with respect to the Municipal Code Amendments:
FINDING: The code amendments are justified by climatic, topographic or geological
conditions of the City.
FINDING: The code amendments are at least as restrictive as the State mandated Codes.
FINDING: The following statements support the local necessity for the changes or
modifications:
A. That the City of Atascadero is situated at the base of a watershed of the Santa
Lucia Mountains and that flooding of Atascadero Creek, Graves Creek, and
Salinas River results in conditions rendering fire department vehicular traffic
unduly burdensome or impossible as witnessed in major floods that occurred in
1952, 1961, 1969, 1973, 1978, 1982, and 1995. Furthermore, flood conditions
described above create the potential for overcoming the ability of the fire
department to aid or assist in fire control, evacuations, rescues and other
emergency task demands inherent in such situations. The resulting overburdening
of fire department personnel may cause a substantial or total lack of protection
against fire for the buildings and structures located in the City of Atascadero. The
afore-described conditions support the imposition of fire protection requirements
greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code and,
in particular, support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in the
2019 California Building and Fire Codes;
B. That the City of Atascadero is situated near three major faults each capable of
generating earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.5. These are the San Andreas to the
east of the City, the Nacimiento-Rinconada that crosses Hwy 101 north of the
City, then parallels the City to the east, and the Hosgri to the South West. Other
faults of importance are the Huasna and West Huasna to the Southeast of the City,
the San Simeon to the Northwest. In as much as these faults are included as major
California earthquake faults, which are subject to becoming active at any time,
the City Atascadero is particularly vulnerable to devastation should such an
earthquake occur. The potential effects include isolating the City of Atascadero
from the North and South due to the potential for collapsing of freeway
overpasses or a slide on both the Cuesta and Ontario Grades and the potential for
horizontal or vertical movement of the Edna fault rendering surface travel across
the southern extremities of the City unduly burdensome or impossible. Additional

1
potential situations inherent in such an occurrence include broken natural-gas
mains causing structure and other fires, leakage of hazardous materials, the need
for rescues from collapsed structures, and the rendering of first aid and other
medical attention to large numbers of people. The protection of human life and
the preservation of property in the event of such an occurrence support the
imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the
California State Building Standards Code and in particular support the imposition
of greater requirements than set forth in 2019 California Building and Fire Codes;
C. That the central commercial area in the City of Atascadero consists of mixed
conditions that create the potential for possible conflagration, including
congested streets during the business day, numerous older buildings without
adequate internal fire-resistance, and contemporary low-rise buildings.
Significant spread of fire in said area will actually exceed the fire suppression
capabilities of regional firefighting personnel. The continued development of the
Atascadero commercial area and the current and potential development of high-
rise buildings pose a substantial threat of fire to human life, public safety, and the
preservation of property and support the imposition of fire protection
requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building
Standards Code, and in particular, support the imposition of greater requirements
than set forth in 2019 California Building and Fire Codes;
D. That the City of Atascadero is bisected by a major freeway (Hwy 101), traversing
in the north/south direction and a major highway (Hwy 41) traversing in an
east/west direction. The City is also transected by a mainline railroad that traverses
in the north/south direction. It is a frequent occurrence for the aforementioned
highways and railway to support the transportation of hazardous materials. The
potential for release or threatened release of a hazardous material along one of these
routes is highly probable given the volume transported daily. Incidents of this
nature will normally require all available emergency response personnel to prevent
injury and loss of life, and to prevent as far as practicable, property losses.
Emergency personnel responding to said incidents may be unduly impeded and
delayed in accomplishing an emergency response as a result of this situation, with
the potential result of undue and unnecessary risk to the protection of life and public
safety, particularly in those buildings or structures without the protection of
automatic fire sprinklers. The above-described problems support the imposition of
fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State
Building Standards Code, and in particular support the imposition of greater
requirements than set forth in the 2019 California Building and Fire Codes;
E. That seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create
numerous serious difficulties in the control and protection against fire situations
in the City of Atascadero. The hot, dry weather in combination with Santa Ana
winds frequently results in wildland fires in the brush-covered slopes on the Santa
Lucia Mountains and several areas surrounding. The aforementioned areas
completely surround the City. When a fire occurs in said areas, such as occurred
in 1994, the Highway 41 fire burned for several days and entered the City, the
entirety of local fire department personnel is required to control, monitor, fight
and protect against such fire situations in an effort to protect life and preserve
Page 40 of 63

1
property and watershed land. The same climatic conditions may result in the
concurrent occurrence of one or more fires in the more populated areas of the City
without adequate fire department personnel to protect against and control such a
situation. Therefore, the above-described findings support the imposition of fire-
protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State
Building Standards Code, and in particular support the imposition of greater
requirements than set forth in the 2019 California Building and Fire Codes;
F. That for the most part, the soils in the City of Atascadero are medium to highly
expansive in nature, and such soils may cause damage to foundations, structures
and underground utilities if not properly mitigated through known construction
techniques. Furthermore, a significant part of the City lies on hills and rolling
topography subject to earth slides and movements and present problems to
developments constructed in such areas due to surface water drainage and
disposal. The above-described conditions support the imposition of requirements
greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code and,
in particular, support the imposition of greater requirements than those set forth
in the 2019 California Building and Fire Codes.
G. The City of Atascadero has recognized the threat of wildland fire as a high risk
and identified the need for mitigation in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Pre-
fire and post-fire management strategies and tactics to reduce the loss from
wildland fire within the City has been identified and prioritized. Additionally,
areas within the City limits that pose a higher risk to wildland fire than others
have been identified. The above-described risks and needs support the City’s
identification of a geographical area titled, “Wildland Urban Interface Fire
Area”, which is at significant risk from wildfires and creation of the Wildland
Urban Interface Fire Area Map in which the area of fire threat is equivalent or
supersedes the very high fire severity zones imposed by the state. Further, these
risks and needs support the requirement that all buildings in locations designated
in the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area Map be built to standards in accordance
with the 2019 California Building and Fire Codes and the current edition of the
International Wildland-Urban Interface Code.
SECTION 4. CEQA. The proposed Title 4 amendments are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public resources Code Section 21000 et seq., because it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the enactment of this Ordinance would have
a significant effect on the environment (Pub. Resources Code § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§
15378(b)(4), 15061(b)(3).
SECTION 5. Approval. The City Council of the City of Atascadero, in a regular session
assembled on March 9, 2021, resolved to introduce for second reading by title only, an Ordinance
that would repeal and replace all of Chapter 7, 2019 California Fire Code within Title 4 of the City
of Atascadero Municipal Code as detailed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference.

SECTION 6. Interpretation. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to achieve
the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this
Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the
purposes set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 7. Preservation. Repeal of any provision of the AMC or of any previous Code
Sections, does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude
prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance’s
effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or
prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 8. Effect of Invalidation. If this entire Ordinance or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or amendment of the AMC or other City
Ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such previous AMC provision or
other City Ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.
SECTION 9. Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect
the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this
Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 10. Notice. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of
this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of Atascadero’s book of original ordinances;
make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15)
days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in
accordance with California law.
SECTION 11. Effective Date. This Ordinance will take effect on the 30th day following
its final passage and adoption.
INTRODUCED at a regular meeting of the City Council held on February 23, 2021, and
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Atascadero, State of
California, on March 9, 2021.

Atascadero City Council
Management Report - Community Development Department
Title 9 Annual Planning and Zoning Text Amendments
RECOMMENDATION:
Council review proposed Title 9 Planning and Zoning text amendments and direct staff
on which amendments to prioritize.
DISCUSSION:
Background
In September 2016, the City Council adopted a substantial update to the zoning
regulations, which included changes to land use definitions and “clean -up” of
inconsistencies between the code and the General Plan. At that time, staff noted that an
annual update of the zoning regulations is essential to maintaining consistency with
community goals and the General Plan in addition to changing State and Federal
regulations. An annual update and refinement was completed in 2017 and due to staffing
and workload, the 2018 update was completed in 2019.
In 2020, the State passed a number of new laws that affect portions of the City’s zoning
ordinance including updates to the density bonus regulations and accessory dwelling unit
standards. In addition, the City adopted its 2021 -2028 Housing Element that identified
implementation programs requiring a number of updates to the City’s code. Continued
“clean-up” is also needed to ensure clarity and consistency.
Due to the volume and scope of the text amendments that need to be completed over the
next two years, staff is bringing a draft list of amendments for preliminary review and
prioritization. Some of the edits need to be completed as soon as possible to respond to
changing State policies, while other edits could be postponed as the City Council desires.
Analysis
The following sections describe the upcoming text updates/clarifications. Each subsection
includes the topic, Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC) reference, target date and whether
the update is grant funded or not.
Page 51 of 63
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/23/21
Housing Element Programs
1. Agricultural uses in residential zones (AMC 9-3.500, AMC 9-6.106, AMC 9-3.230)
The Housing Element update added a program to revise the definition of agricultural uses
in residential zoning districts. The Employee Housing Act requires “by-right” housing for
farmworker and employee housing in zoning districts where agricultural uses are allowed.
Currently, agricultural uses are allowed on residential properties in Atascadero, including
hobby uses, small vineyards, and farm animal raising. The intent of our policy is to allow
smaller-scale hobby ag uses that are compatible with, and accessory to, a rural residential
neighborhood. These residential properties were never intended to serve as commercial
agricultural properties and cannot support agricultural employees.
Due to the Employee Housing Act, Atascadero needs to refine the definitions for
residential accessory uses and commercial agricultural uses. Staff envisions that the
residential accessory use code section will be updated to list hobby scale agriculture as
an accessory activity while removing agriculture from the residential use table.
Amendments will clarify incidental hobby or personal use activities to comply with State
law. This amendment will help exclude the City from mandated Ag housing wherever
accessory residential scale agricultural uses may occur.
Specifically, this amendment will remove the following land uses from the list of
allowed uses in residential zones:
o “Agricultural Accessory Uses”,
o “Agricultural Produce Stands”,
o “Farm Animal Raising”
o “Horticultural Specialties”,
o “Large Scale Ag Manufacturing”; and
o “Livestock Specialties”.
These land uses will instead be listed within the definition of allowed residential
accessory uses. “Residential Accessory Uses” is already an established definition
in the zoning code that will need to be amended to define these additional ag related
activities that are typically associated with residential properties in Atascadero.
2. Height limits in the Residential Multi-Family (RMF) zones (AMC 9-4.113)
Funding Source: REAP Grant
Responsibility: City Staff
Priority Level: Very High
Atascadero Municipal Code 9-4.113 limits height in the multi-family (RMF) zones to a
maximum of 30 feet. However, the code also limits the construction to two stories. The
Housing Element identified this as an impediment to housing production. A suggested
amendment could retain the 30-foot height limit while eliminating the two-story maximum.
This would allow for three story residential buildings so long as they adhere to maintain the
30-foot height limit. As an option, the City could choose to extend the limit to 35 feet to allow
for architectural interest and quality. An extended height could allow for roof pitches, parking
below units, lofts, and other land saving creative designs on properties that are designated
for medium and high density apartments, condominiums and planned developments.
Page 52 of 63
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/23/21
Specifically, we would amend AMC 9-4.113 to simply remove the language
restricting multi-family development to two stories. City Council may choose to retain
the existing 30 foot height limit or extend to 35 feet based on the recommendation
in the Housing Element.
3. Residential Density in Commercial zones (AMC9-3.330)
Funding Source: REAP Grant
Responsibility: City Staff
Priority Level: High
Density for residential in commercial zones is established in the General Plan Housing
Element as 24 units/acre. However, this density number was never incorporated into the
Zoning Code, causing confusion for staff and developers. The amendment would simply
update the Municipal Code to clarify the density standards for residential units that are
built above or alongside commercial development in the Commercial Retail Zoning
District. This amendment would not change what is already allowed, it would simply place
the density standards in the Zoning Code, where it would be part of the Municipal Code
and the Zoning Code Handbook.
Specifically, this amendment would simply add the density to the zoning code at 24
units per acre as already established by the General Plan.
Modifications of Development Standards
4. Detached accessory structure exceptions
Detached accessory structures that are over 50% the size of the primary residence
require conditional use permit approval by the Planning Commission. With the smaller
size of some homes coupled with larger residential properties, this can create varied size
requirements for accessory structures from parcel to parcel and can create a longer
process for applicants. Very few, if any of these requests are denied by the Commission,
and very few applications generate neighborhood interest. The current size limitations are
intended to ensure compatibility with adjacent residential properties. Design standards
could be adopted for oversized accessory structures to ensure neighborhood
compatibility while reducing the scope of the CUP requirement for accessory structures.
Staff suggests increasing the size limit of a detached un-habitable accessory structure
(such as a barn, workshop, shed or storage building) to 100% of the size of the primary
structure on the property not to exceed 3,000 square-feet when it complies with height
setback, lot coverage standards, and meets a set of design qualifiers. An administrative
use permit may still be required for structures that exceed this size threshold.
Specifically, this amendment would establish a list of criteria that would need to be
met in order to construct a new accessory structure that exceeds 50% of the floor
area of the primary structure. This set of pre-described criteria could include:
o Accessory structure shall not be located between the primary structure and
the public roadway
o Accessory structure shall be compatible with the pattern of development in
the neighborhood
Page 53 of 63
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/23/21
o Accessory structure is compatible or complementary with the architectural
style of the primary structure.
o The floor area of the accessory structure is equal or lesser than the floor area
of the primary structure
o The accessory structure is located on a conforming lot and does not impede
with solar access, views or impact drainage associated with adjacent
properties
o The accessory structure can be built to avoid substantial grading and the
removal of significant native trees
5. Scrap and Junk Accessory Use (AMC 9-6.103)
Funding Source: General Fund
Responsibility: City Staff
Priority Level: High
Currently, the outdoor storage of scrap and junk on a residential property is limited to a
maximum area of two hundred (200) square feet unless entirely enclosed by a 6-foot
fence. Enclosed storage has no limitations. This creates incompatibilities with surrounding
residential properties and leads to code compliance con cerns and inconsistencies with
storage regulations. Additionally, large quantities of storage can lead to substantial fire
risk, an increase in pest such as rodents, and a substantial impact to the value of
surrounding properties. The last Zoning Code update addressed storage in commercial
zones by limiting outdoor accessory storage to 10% of the size of the principal building.
Any storage above this 10% threshold is required to be inside of a building. Otherwise,
the applicant has to apply for a conditional use permit to exceed 10% outdoor storage.
Staff is suggesting that the maximum area of outdoor storage of scrap and junk on
residential properties be limited to 200 square feet, or up to 1,000 square feet when
completely screened from neighboring properties or from the public right-of-way.
Specifically, this amendment would amend the municipal code to establish
maximum area of outdoor storage in residential districts unless different amounts
are approved in a public hearing by the Planning Commission. This amendment
simply will add a tool to allow enforcement of substantial outdoor storage yards in
residential neighborhoods when there are complaints.
6. Fence/ wall height standards (AMC 9-4.112, AMC 9-4.128)
Funding Source: General Fund
Responsibility: City Staff
Priority Level: High
Fencing and retaining wall height is currently measured from the finished grade of the
uphill portion of a site or lot. This creates a scenario where grade changes between
parcels, or within a site, may result in fencing and retaining walls that can be excessive
in height to the downhill site as there are currently no height limitations for retaining walls.
Code amendments may include height and/or terracing standards for retaining walls or
setback requirements for fencing when grade changes occur between properties. Specific
standards could be added to require a use permit or other review level when a retaining
wall and fence combination exceed a specific height. In most cases, wall and fence height
Page 54 of 63
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/23/21
combinations on or near a property line that exceed 8-feet in height can have detrimental
impacts on downhill properties such as loss of sunlight, and impacts to views.
Specifically, this amendment would add a limit to the height of retaining walls/and or
fences combined with retaining walls at 8-feet maximum unless the retaining wall is
divided into steps, separated by 5 feet of horizontal space or greater. Additional
height could be achieved by the approval of a conditional use permit.
7. Covered Parking for Multi-family residential AMC 9-3.262
The zoning code currently requires at least one covered parking space for each multi
family unit within a multi-family district in addition to the typical number of outdoor parking
spaces required to reach the required parking ratio. Typical parking ratio is one space for
a one-bedroom unit, two spaces for a two bedroom and 2.5 for a 3 bedroom, with guest
parking for projects the provide 5 or more units. Therefore, every new multi -family project
must supply approximately half of their parking as covered parking. In many cases this
has resulted in poorly designed carports, and substantial additional development costs.
Staff would like to offer the flexibility to provide an option to developers based on the
design of the project.
Specifically, this amendment would simply remove the covered parking
requirement from the code and allow it be used as a design feature, if desired,
when it can be logically integrated into a project.
8. Mortuary Services (AMC 9-3.330)
The Mortuary Services land use is currently allowed in the Commercial Retail (CR) and
Commercial Services (CS) zoning districts. Due to the nature of these operations, it may
be appropriate to add it as an allowed use in the City’s industrial zoning districts : Industrial
(I) and Industrial Park (IP). Mortuary services may not be appropriate in all Commercial
Retail areas. Making it a conditionally allowed use in the CR zone would give the City
more discretion as to where these uses can locate and how they opera te to minimize
negative impacts on surrounding areas.
This amendment simply removes mortuary services that include a crematory from
the retail zone and adds them to the industrial zone, thereby modifying where these
facilities can be established in the future.
9. Gate setbacks and height limits in single-family residential zones (AMC 9-4.128)
AMC 9-4.128 limits gateposts and “other super structures” over site entrances
(driveways) and exits to up to 12 feet tall. However, this does not specifically address
residential driveway gate height. There are also no specific setbacks for gates from the
right-of-way, which is needed to address traffic safety. Due to safety concerns and
visibility, it is recommended that residential gates should not be located closer than 20
feet to the City’s right-of-way. This allows cars to pulling into the driveway/gate to be off
the road while waiting for the gate to open. Staff is recommending that these standards
be added to the Municipal Code for clarity.
Page 55 of 63
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/23/21
Specifically, this amendment simply adds a 12 foot height limit to gates to
differentiate a gate from a fence, thereby helping to streamline the review of gates
at driveways and paths.
Minor Cleanup of Inconsistencies
10. DRC action expiration
The Design Review Committee (DRC) process was intended to happen concurrently for
projects requiring a building permit but not requiring discretionary approval. However,
staff is seeing an increasing desire by applicants to seek DRC direction prior to
construction permit submittal and preparation of full construction plans. The Municipal
Code does not have a clear expiration of action taken by the Design Review Committee
for projects that have not yet submitted a building permit application. A solution to this is
to require an applicant to submit for a complete construction permit within 6 months from
DRC action or the DRC action would expire. This would eliminate the possibility of an
applicant assuming indefinite approval for a use that may become non -conforming after
the DRC action.
This amendment would simply stipulate a 6-month date for DRC approvals.
Extensions could be requested in writing and approved by the Director.
11. Planning applications deemed withdrawn (AMC 9-2.120)
Planning applications are currently deemed withdrawn if the applicant has not resubmitted
within twelve (12) months of the last written notification to the applicant. Reducing this
timeline from 12 months to 6 could encourage projects to keep moving in a timelier
manner and ensure consistency with the most current code standards.
This amendment simply reduces the amount of time that an application may sit idle.
Applications that continue to receive communication and submittals from an
applicant would not be subject to the 6-month rule.
12. Corner lot clarification (AMC 9-4.107)
The definition of a corner lot currently states that the narrowest frontage facing a street is
the front and the longest frontage facing the street is the side for corner lots, regardless
of where the front door is located or the neighborhood layout . Staff suggests that this
code be amended to allow applicants to select their front yard regardless of width or
length. The Council may choose to revise this standard to allow for flexibility.
Specifically, this is a simple clarification to allow an applicant to choose their
appropriate front setback based on their configuration.
13. Side and rear setback exceptions (AMC 9-4.107)
AMC 9-4.107 is written to allow buildings less than 12 feet to be located as close as 3
feet to a property line. This conflicts with the California Building Code which sets the
minimum at 5 feet. The code needs to be revised for consistency and clarity for applicants.

ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/23/21
This amendment would simply modify the required building setback to be consistent
with the building code at 5 feet minimum.
14. Clarify ground floor office uses in the Downtown Commercial (DC) zone (AMC 9-
3.330)
The recent code text change to office uses in the Downtown is unclear about ground floor
office uses in the DC zone south of Atascadero Creek. Adoption of the limit on ground
floor office uses was intended to apply only to parcels north of the creek. Howev er, the
Code was written in a way that could be interpreted to prohibit ground floor office uses on
these parcels. Staff proposes an amendment to clarify that ground floor offices are
allowed in the DC zone south of the creek without CUP approval.
Specifically, this amendment would fix language that is difficult to interpret and clarify
the intent of the code which is to allow ground floor office south of Atascadero creek
and to continue to require a use permit on the north side.
15. Public zones table (AMC 9-3.330, AMC 9-3.430)
The Public Zones Uses table (Table 3-3) is mistakenly located in two places in the
Municipal Code. The table was updated in the last code update and added to
AMC 9-3.330. This updated table needs to be removed form AMC 9-3.330 and moved to
AMC 9-3.430.
Conclusion
The listed text amendments are consistent with the General Plan programs in the recently
adopted 2021-2028 Housing Element and are consistent with the existing General Plan
Land Use Element. Staff is seeking early input on these potential zoning amendments
prior to bringing these amendments to the Planning Commission and ultimately back to
the City Council for approval.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. City Council may direct staff to not work on any text updates that are not required by
the Housing Element update or are grant funded.
2. The City Council may determine that more information is needed on the proposed
revisions and may direct staff to return with additional information. The Council should
clearly state the type of information that is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The upcoming text updates/ clarifications will be done by City staff with a combination of
general fund and grant funding.

Atascadero City Council
Management Report - City Manager
Resolution to Support the
Galaxy Theater and Colony Square Commercial Properties
During Covid-19
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution recognizing the significant economic impact on the
Galaxy Theater, the property owner, and supporting commercial businesses, as a result
of mandated closures due to Covid-19.
DISCUSSION:
A statewide shutdown of particular businesses, especially restaurants, theaters, and
other venues that include public gathering, occurred in March of 2020 due to the
pandemic. Since that time, the Galaxy Theater in Atascadero has been primarily closed
to the public other than a few private events. The closure has resulted in significant
economic hardships to both Galaxy Theater and surrounding businesses that rely upon
the synergy of the theater. This impact has been felt by both leaseholders and owners
of Colony Square properties.
When open, and at typical capacity, Galaxy Theaters is a very substantial contri bution
to the overall success of downtown Atascadero. The Theater’s survival and success is a
major component of our future success as other development project’s and public
improvements fall into place downtown. Without the theater, we will lose one of ou r
significant entertainment venues in downtown and along with that loss, other
businesses will suffer the loss with reduced lodging, dining, shopping and foot traffic.
The portion of Colony Square that is occupied by Galaxy Theater is owned by Jeff
Nelson (Cinema Square LLC). The theater space is leased to Galaxy Theaters
(Atascadero LLC). Several vacancies currently exist in Colony Square in the building
owned by Jeff Nelson, while only two business remain operational . These currently
open businesses include SLODOCO donut company and Que Pasa Mexican
restaurant. Both of these businesses have had their occupancies limited due to Covid
and have been further impacted by the loss of theater business. There are currently
other businesses in Colony square that exist in the separate Creekside building (former
City Hall). These include Wild Fields Brewery, The Chamber of Commerce, a Physical

Therapy office, and a new Karate studio. The Creekside building is separately owned by
Clint Pearce with Madonna Enterprises. The third owner of Colony Square, Peter Hilf,
owns the vacant lot in the center of the parking lot, and the vacant lot adjacent to Round
Table Pizza.
Galaxy Theaters is one of the most significant tenants in Colony Square and provides
the largest portion of rental revenue for the portion of Colony Square owned by Jeff
Nelson. Due to business closures and economic hardships, d uring the pandemic, the
Theater paid no rent and Que Pasa paid limited rent . This has significantly impacted the
owner’s ability to keep up with mortgage payments on this portion of the commercial
center. The lender is currently working towards foreclosure on Jeff Nelson’s property,
which includes Galaxy Theater. However, Mr. Nelson feels that the foreclosure is
unwarranted at this time, since the Theater’s closure and non-payment of rent is
temporarily beyond his control.
Federal legislation enacted Dec. 27, 2020 provides for Grant Funding for severely
impacted venues including Galaxy Theatres Atascadero LLC which can be the basis for
making up past missed rent and other expenses and can be an economic bridge to
reopening of theatres. All parties are currently cooperating in the process of seeking
federal grant funding as a bridge to recovery.
At this time, Mr. Nelson is seeking to delay the foreclosure process and is also seeking
City support to encourage a delay on the foreclosure on an industry that has been
substantially impacted by Covid-19.
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution that declares the
significance of Galaxy Theater to Atascadero and that its temporary closure due to
Covid-19 is against the will of the property owner (landlord) and operator of Galaxy
Theaters (tenant). The Draft Resolution states that the potential foreclosure and loss of
the theater in the community has significant impacts to the Atascadero. The foreclosure
of this property will create significant impacts on other businesses in the downtown
area, and will impact City revenues and services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no known fiscal impacts as a result of the adoption of the Draft Resolution.
However, there are significant potential fiscal impacts as a result of the possible closure
of Galaxy Theaters and foreclosure of the Colony Square property.
