DATE: 11/09/99 'E Id 5 1 9M t iai8 p to a Atascadero City Council City Attorney Report General Plan Amendment No. 98003 The Mackey Project DISCUSSION: Background: At the regular City Council meeting for August 10, 1999 the City Council addressed three separate actions concerning the project informally known as the Mackey Project at 3055 Traffic Way. The City Council certified environmental documents, passed a resolution amending the General Plan by a vote of 3-1, approved a tentative tract map for the property, and the introduced, on first reading, an ordinance changing the zoning on the property. At the next regularly scheduled Council Meeting, the City Council first voted 3-1, with Jerry Clay abstaining,to approve the zone change ordinance on second reading. After a break, and apparent consultation with other persons, former City Councilman Ken Lerno requested a reconsideration of the vote, rescinded his vote in favor of the project and declared that he may have a conflict of interest. The ordinance has therefore been introduced, but has not received the three votes necessary to be adopted on second reading. The City Council held a properly scheduled closed session on October 26, 1999. No reportable action was taken in regards to threatened litigation. The City Attorney was directed to prepare a report, with recommendations, for City Council action. This discussion does not involve items that may be held in closed session, and is scheduled for a hearing on the open portion of the agenda. Although the factual discussion contained in this report is relevant to the proper closed session discussion, the mere fact that the history of the project is relevant to both closed and open session items does not prevent full discussion of the factual background in public session. Issues: Each of the four actions contains its own unique issues. The underlying issue that this Council is concerned about is the potential that the vote by former Councilman Ken Lerno on August 10, 1999 was inappropriate. Each of the four separate actions will be discussed in that context. The four issues are, if conflicted, what effect does the mentioned vote have on: (1) the certification of the environmental documents; (2) the resolution adopting an amendment to the General Plan; (3) the Tentative Tract map; and (4) the proposed ordinance which has been introduced, but has not been passed on second reading. Although the investigation is not complete, the following known facts are relevant to a consideration of whether or not the vote by former Councilman Ken Lerno on August 10, 1999 was conflicted. ( Please note that staff is not charged with evaluating whether or not the mentioned vote was willfully made, that is beyond the jurisdiction of the City Attorney and not relevant to a sound discussion of the City's potential procedural remedies to the problems posed. 000001 DATE: 11/09/99 For this reason, staff has assumed that the vote was not willful as defined in the Political Reform Act.) is Kelly Gearhart began processing an application for a general plan amendment on the Traffic Way property on or before April 1, 1998. The application began as an industrial project. On January 25, 1999 Cannon and Associates submitted a Planning Division Application Form showing Dan Mackey as the applicant for that parcel, with Kelly Gearhart listed as one of the contacts. Kelly Gearhart purchased the Traffic Way property from Union Pacific Railroad pursuant to a Grant Deed recorded February 2, 1999 as Document No. 1999-007612. The Deed itself lists a documentary transfer tax of $134.75. The transfer tax is based upon a percentage of the consideration paid for the property. The tax indicates a purchase price of $122,500.00. The firm of Greensberg Farrow submitted an application for the Home Depot project on the Rochelle property on June 25, 1999. Ken Lemo and Kelly Gearhart were among the owners of the property at that time, but they were not the applicants. The Home Depot project is conditioned upon City approval of adequate sewer service to the Rochelle property. On April 29, 1999 Kelly Gearhart transferred by Grant Deed, the Traffic Way property to Daniel Mackey. The deed indicates a documentary transfer tax of$137.50. The documentary transfer tax indicates a purchase price of$125,000.00. This information is located in Document No. 1999- 030454. Daniel Mackey thereafter became the applicant for the purpose of the City's records. The Mackey Project included a proposed extension of a sewer main and the urban services line. A May 21, 1999 letter from John Falkenstein to Judith Lautner, then a temporary employee of the City of Atascadero, indicates that the plan for providing sewer to the Mackey project was to drain northerly from the Mackey property to the Rochelle property. Kelly Gearhart remained Mr. Mackey's agent for purposes of communication and discussion regarding the Mackey project. A letter dated July 16, 1999 from John Falkenstein of Cannon and Associates concerning the issue of water wells on the project was addressed to Kelly Gearhart. The planning application form indicates that Kelly Gearhart is one of the contacts for staff. Daniel Mackey requested that staff copy Mr. Gearhart with correspondence concerning the project. Kelly Gearhart attended the June 7, 1999 Planning Division meeting concerning the project at the request of Daniel Mackey. On August 2, 1999 Kelly Gearhart purchased property within 300 feet of the Mackey project from Jon-Darby and Robin Patterson. The Grant Deed was recorded August 2, 1999 as Document No. 1999-055952. The document does indicate an escrow number. 000002• DATE: 11/09/99 The Deed itself was drafted July 20, 1999 and signed by the sellers on July 29, 1999. When staff raised concern of apotential conflict of interest for Councilman Ken Lerno regarding the Mackey project using the Rochelle sewer, Kelly Gearhart stated that he would not provide necessary easements to allow the sewer to flow from the Mackey property to the Rochelle property. This required the Mackey project to find an alternate route. Ken Lerno also reported that he had obtained an opinion from his attorney with Pilsbury, Madison and Sutro that he did not have a conflict of interest on the Mackey project. When the matter came before the City Council on August 10, 1999 Kelly Gearhart had already purchased the Patterson property. Presumably, he did not disclose this fact to Ken Lerno. He certainly did not disclose this fact to any member of the staff of the City of Atascadero. Marvin Pellett referred to and identified potential sales at the public comment portion of the agenda on August 10, 1999. A transcript of his comments and other citizen's comments is attached to this report. Kelly Gearhart was a disqualifying source of income to Ken Lerno on August 10, 1999. Since August 10, 1999 staff has approved the location of a pump station on the Rochelle property that, by itself, would not serve to benefit the Mackey property. Kell Gearhart continues to represent Mr. Macke before staff on this project. Y P Y p J Derek Westen, who has previously identified himself to the City Attorney as being Kelly Gearhart's lawyer, has just recently called the City Attorney and identified himself as Daniel Mackey's lawyer. Brief Legal Analysis: There is no dispute that Kelly Gearhart is a disqualifying source of income to Ken Lerno. Prior to and on August 10, 1999 Kelly Gearhart owned real property within 300 feet of the Mackey project. Based upon the Government Code, relevant case law and Attorney General Opinions, it isnot necessary for Mr. Lerno to have known of Mr. Gearhart's ownership for a conflict to exist. This Council may reasonably consider that there was a conflict at the August 10, 1999 meeting. A public official has a financial interest in a decision if it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect on one or more of his economic interests (Government Code Section 87103). This legal test does not involve the subjective intent of the public official. The financial interest exists in fact whether or not the public official is conscious of the effect. The forseeability is to a reasonable person aware of the facts and not based upon the subjective knowledge of the official. It is clear that Kelly Gearhart's purchase of the property created a disqualifying financial interest. The test as to whether the public official may vote is . not based on subjective knowledge as described above, but is found in another code section. The Political Reform Act is also concerned with a public official's involvement in decision-making in which he may have a financial interest. Government Code section 87100 provides that a public official "at any level of state or local government" shall not "make, participate in making or in any way attempt to use his official position to influence a governmental decision in which he 000003 DATE: 11/09/99 knows or has reason to know he has a financial interest". Therefore, former Councilman Lerno was disqualified if he had reason to know that Kelly Gearhart had or was purchasing property next to the Mackey project. In light of the facts mentioned above, this City Council can clearly come to the conclusion that Ken Lerno did have reason to know. Effect on Council Actions The environmental documents do not need to be revisited. Only two votes are necessary to pass a resolution certifying those documents. Approval of the documents does not in any way equate to approval of the project itself. Environmental documents are informational, so you can make sound public decisions. The adequacy of the environmental documents does not require that any aspect of the project be approved. The Tentative Tract Map is approved conditioned upon several factors including passage of an ordinance changing the zoning. It will expire of its own accord unless all of the conditions are met. The zoning has not been changed as the ordinance requires approval upon second reading and a waiting period of thirty days thereafter. The handling of the General Plan Amendment is more problematical. The action is subject to being set aside pursuant to the Political Reform Act. The mere fact that a conflicted vote is cast does not invalidate the action, but, rather, the conflicted vote must also be a determinative vote. Here, the vote was determinative in regards to the General Plan Amendment because such resolutions are required by the Government Code to be passed by a majority of the body and not just a majority of the quorum. In Atascadero, General Plan Amendments therefore require three votes by the City Council to be effective. The third vote by former Councilman Ken Lerno was determinative as that term is defined in the Government Code. Conclusion. Staff has conducted research into the methods available to this Council to set aside its Resolution of August 10, 1999. The City Council could direct a review of the general plan for this specific project to be done at the next available amendment cycle. The moratorium on general plan amendments that this body passed specifically allows the City Council to generate a request without violating the ban. The City Council may also request that staff include a review of this parcel in the overall review it has already directed. Either of these two alternatives will be time consuming and create some expense. Staff has located a series of appellate cases allowing a City Council to rescind a resolution and even allowing a City Council to rescind an ordinance. The ordinance can be rescinded only where there had been no good faith expenditures, but here the ordinance has not passed. One such case allowed a resolution amending a general plan to be rescinded. Although not directly on point, this case law does support the common law power of a City to rescind an action where it finds that a conflicted and determinative vote was cast. One public policy in favor of this approach would be to prevent unnecessary litigation. If this Council finds that the vote taints the action, it may therefore, cause the action to be rescinded. Staff concludes that the record before the City Council would support a finding by the City Council that a conflicted and determinative vote was cast on the General Plan Amendment. Staff recommends that the City Council rescind Resolution No. 1999-037 based upon that finding. 000004 DATE: 11/09/99 FISCAL IMPACT: Staff has previously referenced potential fiscal impacts in the report for the August 10, 1999 and the subsequent City Council meeting. ALTERNATIVES: The City Council is not required to take any of the above actions. There is no legal compulsion to rescind the Resolution. This is not the preferred alternative as it would lead to unnecessary litigation, waste the general fund money of the City in that litigation, and it would also take up staff time in many departments that could be better spent elsewhere.

General Plan' Amendment#98003, Zone Change#98010, and 30-lot Tentative Tract Map #99001 - County file No. 2318 - 3055 Traffic Way (Mackey) - Fiscal Impact: Negative, exact number unknown (Planning Commission recommendation: Council: 1) Adopt Resolution No. 1999-037 approving the Negative Declaration with Mitigation, and approving General Plan Amendment 98003, changing the land use designation of the site from Suburban Single Family to Low Density Multi-Family, and extending the Urban Services Line (USL) to include the site; and 2) Adopt Ordinance No. 361, approving Zone Change 98010, changing the zoning of the site from Residential Suburban (RS) to Residential Multi-Family with a Planning Development overlay (RMF-10 (PD7)); and 3) Adopt Resolution No. 1999-038, approving Tentative Tract Map 99001 (County file No. Tract 2318) creating 29 single-family residential lots and one common storm water storage basin lot, based on findings and subject to conditions recommended by the Planning Commission with some minor modifications suggested by stafj) [Paul Saldana] PUBLIC COMMENT: Marvin Pellett ..."Kelly Gearhart owned the railroad property on April 25th of this year when he circulated a petition to the people across Traffic Way from the railroad property. The petition was to subdivide property in the block bounded by Traffic Way, San Benito Road, Del Rio Road and Chico. The Gearhart petition does not have one property owner in that area that lives in Atascadero. He signed up four renters in the area. The petition that you people presented to the City Council had 28 property owners living in the immediate area plus many voters. The area bounded by Traffic Way, San Benito, Del Rio Road and Chico is now zoned for 2 1/2 acre parcels. No existing lot is large enough to be legally split. If the railroad project conformed to this zoning, only one house could be built. They're building 29 times as many as the zoning allows. During the month of July, Kelly Gearhart was surveying out block bounded by Traffic Way, San Benito Road, Del Rio Road and Chico. His group was buying property there. He purchased a two-story Colony house from a distressed couple with a baby so cheap that he plans to destroy it so as to subdivide the land. He is purchasing the house next door and two very poor families will be booted out into the street next month; so poor they couldn't even begin to think of this thing. Our Atascadero Planning Department that you people pay the salaries for have been making plans for this area. Has the City Council been meeting in secret to instigate this study or is Kelly Gearhart running the Planning Department? There are 3 of these people up here on the City Council that have never vetoed a Gearhart project that I can find; not one. This may not be a • Gearhart project, but it smells like it. Gearhart owns it, Dan Mackey owns it, they all seem to be running in the same trail and they may be throwing us off the track." 000017 Fred Mills .."But what we see here evidenced by the developers buying out people across the road. Now they can say they weren't doing it, why are the houses empty? Why are the people across the road wanting to subdivide?" Sherri Pellett ..."Kelly Gearhart did buy the 2-story, big 2-story white house on Traffic Way. It abutts up to my property, where we live, actually my father-in-law's property. We do live there."

The most honrable thing would be to pick the person that got next to the higest vote in the previous election.. Next to that would be a person who has a broad perpective on the needs of the community. Many of us feel our voices are being ignored and our town is going by the wayside .I could give many examples but the most recent is the intent to change the general plan which is the blue print for our town as well as a safety net against abuse in planning.Please choose some one that respects that safety net and is respected by the whole community. Thank You Livia Kellerman 5463 Honda i 000022 Attachment: B Atascadero.City Council Meeting Date: 10-13-99 October 13, 1999 Honorable Council : Z read in the Atascaderian of .Sept. 1Q99 that Mayor Johnson said "we need to hear from the community. . .what Atascadero is to become. " And he said the survey is . . "the first real opportunity that the community has had to begin the process of deciding the future for Atascadero. " He reported that "every member of the City Council is committed to listening to the community and following through with real action. " These pledges to listen to the community sound hopeful . In the past whenever the Council has acted , it has been in direct opposition to the large crowds from neighborhood after neighbor- hood who have come to appeal to you not to downgrade their neigh- borhoods. The vote is always predictable--"yes" to the proposed development . When I read these pledges in the Atascaderian, I hoped tonight ' s meeting would produce a sincere effort to bring consensus to the community by choosing someone all Councilmembers could approve . I hope you have not been programmed by the godfather to approve someone who is never seen at Council or Planning Commission meetings. Doro y F. McNeil 87ierra Vista Rd.

DISCUSSION: As part of the financial system software conversion, the City must purchase new business license software. The City currently uses MOMs which is not Y2K compliant and does not interface with the new financial software system. Eden Systems (our financial software provider) does not offer business licensing software so the City solicited proposals from HDL and from Progressive Solutions. These two are the only known firms that offer stand-alone business licensing software in California. Finance Department staff analyzed each of the proposals and viewed demos from each of the vendors. Progressive Solutions was selected as the better product for our needs. Please see Attachment A for an analysis of the two proposals/products.

Larsen Family Trust / Wilson Land Surveys) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council: 1. Accept the Final Lot Line Adjustment Map#99004; 2. Reject without prejudice the offer of road dedication; and 3. Accept a 6-foot wide Public Utility Easement along the frontage of the new San Gabriel Road right-of-way. DISCUSSION: On May 19, 1999 the Community Development Department approved Lot Line Adjustment #99004. The lot line adjustment was an equal exchange of area between 18 lots of record. The applicant chose to submit the lot line adjustment in Final Map format, to ensure a clear chain of title exists between the new lots and the portion of San Gabriel Road that was summarily vacated by City Council Resolution 1999-022. The City Council passed Resolution #1999-022 approving Road Abandonment #99001 on April 27, 1999. The approval summarily vacated an unimproved portion of the San Gabriel Road right-of-way, with the condition that the road right-of-way was going to be relocated and improved to City Standards. The Road Improvements are underway and the City has secured sufficient bonds from the applicant to secure the completion of the improvements. All of the Conditions of Approval imposed by the Community Development Department have now been satisfied and the Final Map has been signed by the City Engineer and is ready to record. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 66440 each approving legislative body must approve the Final Map and accept, accept subject to improvement, or reject, on behalf of the public, any real property offered for dedication for public use in conformity with the terms of the offer of dedication. The offer of road dedication on this 1000037 ITEM NUMBER: A-4 DATE: 11/09/99 map should be rejected without prejudice. At this time the City is not accepting any offers of road dedication. The offer will remain open as a perpetual offer of dedication for the City to accept at any time. A 6-foot wide Public Utility Easement is also being offered on Final Lot Line Adjustment Map #99004 to fulfill a Condition of Road Abandonment #99001. All other Conditions of Approval imposed by the City Council for the Road Abandonment have now been satisfied and the only remaining requirement is that the City Council accept the offer of dedication for the Public Utility Easement.

DISCUSSION: The United Methodist Church of Atascadero has requested that the public improvements required by the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 98014 be deferred for a maximum period of two years so that money pledged by church members to construct the improvements can be accumulated. The Church has also stated that El Camino Real could be improved in a more orderly manner if the properties to the north and south were to construct their public improvements at the same time. FISCAL IMPACT: None ALTERNATIVES: Execute deferred improvement agreement — construction of public improvements could be delayed for period of up-to two years. Granting this request could be an incentive for other developers to request deferral of the requirement to construct public improvements. Do not execute agreement — the public improvements would have to be constructed prior to the final inspection and occupancy of the on-site improvements. The Church's current financial situation may not allow construction of the on-site or the public improvements to begin until all pledges are received. 0000,10 I ITEM NUMBER: A-5 DATE: 11/09/99 ATTACHMENTS: • Attachment A—Deferred Improvement Agreement Attachment B—Letter from The United Methodist Church of Atascadero • 000041 I'I FOR RECORDER USE ONLY RECORDING REQUESTED BY: City of Atascadero WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: City Clerk City of Atascadero 6500 Palma Avenue Atascadero, CA. 93422 CITY OF ATASCADERO DEFERRED IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT DATE OF AGREEMENT: November 09, 1999 NAME OF DEVELOPER: The United Methodist Church of Atascadero P.O.

We have been working closely with the City Building Department and expect issuance of a building permit momentarily. As I am sure you are aware,building costs have soared in recent months. This is necessitating a considerable reduction in the scope of our plans. Our financial situation is sound, but a considerable amount of the money pledged by our members will be coming in to the church over the next two years. This means we must delay portions of the work for one year or more so that we can pay as we go. One of the segments of the job we would like to delay is the 315' street widening on El Camino Real in front of the church which includes curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. This portion of the project will cost$30,496. Our representative, Jerry Lombard, has reviewed this project in the field with Mr. Wade McKinney and with Mr. John Niel of North Coast engineering. Both have agreed that widening only that portion of the road in front of the church at this time presents problems that could be better dealt with when the adjacent properties are developed. Simply stated these problems are: 1. A narrow bridge just south of the church property which requires a rather short transition distance(from the widened portion to the narrow portion.) 2. The property to the north of the church is at a lower elevation than the roadway, thus creating a transition area that could be hazardous to a northbound auto. The United Methodist Church hereby requests the Council to allow us to delay the street widening, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks until adjacent property (either one or both)is developed. We are willing to post a bond, and pledge to the City that when the work is required by the City of Atascadero it will be carried out promptly and paid for by the church.

RPM Design Group 000055 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan I. The Challenge The City of Atascadero is seeking proposals for the preparation of a Bicycle Transportation Plan that conforms to the requirements of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Bicycle Transportation Plan is a critical element in providing alternative transportation, opportunities within the community, and to regional destinations. A critical component of any bicycle master plan is a provision of facilities that encourage recreational use, as well as commuter use. Itis the intent of existing legislation, in order to improve air quality, that the non-vehicular commuter population increase as a result of having an effective bicycle and pedestrian master plan implemented. The importance that the City places on biking and walking, and the unique physical setting of the City of Atascadero lends itself well to fulfilling the intent of this legislation. Enhancing the network of bike paths and walking paths can bring residents from surrounding neighborhoods into the downtown area and other key destinations, and will further support air quality goals, while creating a more livable community. The Bicycle Transportation Plan document will serve as a guideline for the installation of future bicycle and pedestrian improvements and should be based on community input and be consistent with the City's General Plan and Circulation Element. In addition to implementing goals and policies of the Circulation Element within the City, the Master Plan document will also consider other external links, destinations, and regional connections surrounding the City of Atascadero. The proposed Bicycle Transportation Plan will be prepared to meet the requirements as set forth in Section 890 of the California Streets and Highways Code, Article 3, "California Bicycle Transportation Act." By fulfilling the requirement of the California Bicycle Transportation Act, the City of Atascadero would be positioned for greater success in securing available grant monies and other financial assistance for implementation of the plan. -----------------.._..----------------------------.._..-..------------------------------------------------------------..-..-----------------------.-..-.._..-----------.-..-..-..-....., RRM Design Group 000056 D y- • City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan II. What We Will Do OUR APPROACH RRM Design Group's Philosophy. Our project approach starts with kickoff meetings and coordination with appropriate staff members to identify initial issues and obstacles, establish the game plan for proceeding with the project and establishing a clear understanding of the responsibilities, and a method of tracking accountability. This eliminates misunderstandings and false starts that can later result in delays of the project. This Scope of Work addresses the elements identified in the Request for Proposal, and is organized so that the reader can easily understand the methodology, meetings and deliverables proposed by the Team. We clearly understand that the major intent of this Bicycle Transportation Plan is to inventory existing conditions, evaluate bicycling demographics and needs, develop a comprehensive system, and provide a rational implementation strategy including phasing and funding. Other important objectives are to ensure that the Plan meets all of the Caltrans requirements to qualify for Bike Lane Account (BLA) Funding and other funding sources. BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN SCOPE OF WORK • Task 1: Project Start Up, Kickoff and Data Collection • Task 2: Research Conditions and Data Collection • Task 3: Inventory Facilities • Task 4: Profile Current and Potential Future bicyclist Demographics and Travel Patterns • Task 5: Develop Revised Policies, Goals, and Objectives • Task 6: Develop Citywide Bike Infrastructure Plan • Task 7: Identify Implementation Priorities, Responsible Parties, and Potential Funding Sources • Optional Task 1: Education and Public Awareness • Optional Task 2: GIS Suitability and Bike Lane Implementation Models - - ._..----.--.------.-..----..----.---.-..-------..-..--.--.---.--------..--.-----.-.....-. RRM Design Group 0 000057 J7 eo . City ofAtascaderoBicycle Transportation Plan Task 1: Project Start Up,Kickoff and Data Collection We will begin the planning process with a kickoff meeting with City staff, agency officials and Caltrans. The purpose of the meeting will be to clearly identify the expectations and roles of members involved in the project, to allow City staff to brief the Team on issues of interest and importance on the Bicycle Transportation Plan. During this phase, we will work with City staff to gather additional information, identify issues and obstacles related to the preparation of the plan. We will also use this meeting to collect any relevant data, including maps that will be used during the preparation of the plan. Data including existing bikeway facilities and systems, the community bicycle-parking plan, traffic-calming proposals, circulation element, and any other relevant data will be reviewed. The kickoff meeting will be held with staff to: a. Review objectives of Plan b. Review and revise scope of services c. Confirm study area d. Collect available data and published materials e. Establish meeting and presentation schedule f. Establish communication channels with other departments g. Review and list State and Federal required elements h. Review and list all applicable design and planning standards i. Coordinate with local governments and agencies Changes to the Scope of Work will be made (if necessary) at the conclusion of this task, and an amended Scope and Schedule will be published. Task 2: Research Conditions and Data Collection The next primary step in the preparation of the plan will be an existing conditions survey. The existing conditions survey involves the research and data collection of all areas of concern that must be addressed as a part of complete project preparation and will include the following: Land Use and General Plan Analysis. A creative vision and direction for bicycle planning will be established by reviewing existing plans, goals and objectives in Atascadero. These include bicycle policies developed in previous Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plans, General Plan and Circulation Element. Existing Bikeways Survey. This will involve a field survey of the existing bike and pedestrian trail systems currently in use with mapping and analysis of existing facilities. Existing Parking Facilities. As a part of the field survey,we will include the identification of bike parking facilities, park and ride, and other affiliated facilities that are integral to the City's overall bikeway system. These facilities will be mapped and analyzed. --.._........-.--..-....._..-........-.--..-..............-.._..-..-.._..-.._..-.._..-.--..--.-.-----........-..-..-..-........-..__._.._.._..-........-.--.--.................-..-..-_.

As a part of the field survey, we will identify major connections to neighboring communities, as well as key linkages in the bikeway pedestrian system to major destinations and recreation facilities. These connections and destinations will be mapped. Bicycle Safety and Programs. This will include a survey of law enforcement agencies, City Police, County Sheriff, Highway Patrol, accident data, school education programs, and listing of available programs and issues related to bike safety. SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS For the sake of comparison,we will utilize our library of plans from around the Country and provide a summary of goals and policies from comparable communities to Atascadero, plus trend-setting areas (in the fields of bicycle planning) such as Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Phoenix,Boulder, Madison and 20 other communities. In addition, the States of Florida and Oregon have developed outstanding goals and policies for their state plans. The summary will also include policies from national organizations such as the National Recreation & Park Association,American Planning Association, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, Bicycle Federation of America, Institute of Transportation Engineers, and other groups. Task 3: Inventory Facilities In order to expedite this task and save resources, we will utilize previous work efforts and your bicycle master plans. Our team is familiar with many of the existing resources from our previous work in the region, or from our personal knowledge of the city. 3.1 - Review Information on Existing Routes and Facilities It is our intent to manage the data collection portion of the study as efficiently as possible. Materials to be reviewed from the City and San Luis Obispo County include: a. Inventory of the existing local and regional bikeway system b. Previous bicycle, recreation, pedestrian, and transportation reports c. Adopted and Updated General Plan and related Elements d. Zoning ordinance e. Bicycle, transportation, trail, and recreation planning and design standards f. Base maps/aerial photographs g. Land use and population density information h. Employment,visitor, and shopper information I. Traffic volumes (ADT or peak hour) on major arterials j. Curb-to-curb street widths In addition, we will collect relevant materials from adjoining communities to ensure good connectivity. Our previous work in other parts of San Luis Obispo and neighboring cities will expedite this process. -..-----------------._.._..-..-. ..-..-----.-..----..-..-.--..----.-----..------......-..-..-..-.---.-..-----.--.-.-----.--.- RRM Design 6roup 000059 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan 3.2 -Retiew ofExisting Bicycle Facilities and Activity Areas Primary data collection efforts will include a review of those bicycle facilities which experience the highest levels of activity,including: a. Downtown b. Park& Ride Facilities c. Local Public and Private Schools d. Local Parks e. Community Centers and Libraries f. Shopping Centers g. Existing Bikeway and Trail Segments In order to supplement existing information, a field review may be conducted including touring existing routes by bicycle and by foot (possibly with members of the staff, committee members), taking field measurements, and photographing or video taping corridors. A map and list of bicycle support facilities will also be created that inventories support facilities such as bicycle parking. Data on existing facilities of will be identified through available data and field research. The inventory will be catalogued both graphically on a study area map and in a computerized checklist (Lotus 1-2-3 or Excel), and contain the following information for the Atascadero bikeway system and connecting segments in adjacent communities: a.

RPM Design Group 000060 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan Task 4: Profile Current and Potential Future Bicyclist Demographics and Travel Patterns We propose to complete a user needs analysis of bicyclists in Atascadero to ensure that the proposed system meets the needs of cyclists of all ages and abilities, plus a physical needs analysis of existing opportunities and constraints. 4.1 -Recreation Destinations and Needs Groups such as, the Bicycle Federation of America and National Recreation & Park Association touch on the recreational bicycle facilities needs of communities. Most of these standards are based on a combination of population, density, and geography, and must be modified to meet the unique requirements of each community. At best, these standards set general parameters that help set realistic goals in the amount and type of bicycle and trail routes needed in Atascadero. We will deliver specific quantitative information on the existing and projected number of recreational bicyclists based on standards developed by the State of California, and compare those projections with the results of our counts at locations through the City. Recreation riders can be broken down into distinct sub-groups: a. Short distance (senior citizens, children) b. Exercise (loop trips, typically morning, evening,weekends) c. Destination trips (to parks, shops) d. Long distance treks e. Events (races, tours) Recreation needs will be evaluated and routes will be planned and designed to accommodate some combination of these types of activities. The preliminary bikeway network map will be P Y ers reviewed from the perspective of recreational bicyclist needs. 4.2- Commuter and Student Destinations and Needs Nationwide, less than one percent of all commuters over 18 years of age use bicycles. The potential bicycle commutes lit has been estimated to range between 3 and 5 percent according to the National Walking and Bicycling Study performed by the U.S. DOT. By way of comparison, in the city of Davis over 20 percent of all non-university employees have bicycles as their primary commute mode. We believe that a 3 percent mode split for bicycles is not unreasonable for most California communities given adequate facilities and programs. We will develop specific projections on existing and future bicycle and pedestrian commuter volumes for use in air quality and TEA-21 funding applications, based on our methodology that has been accepted throughout California. By far the largest number of existing bicycle commuters are school children. A recent study by the San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG) found that about 4 percent of all K-9 students rode their bicycles to school (versus 26% walking and 21% riding a school bus). These students save approximately 315 vehicle miles/year each in their communities. _.._..-.._..-.--........_..-.._..--.----..----..--.-..-....._.._.._.._..--.-..----.--..----.--.._.. RPM Design Group 000061 eo ': • City of-Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan 4.3 -Safety Needs Concerns about safety are the most common reasons given for not riding a bicycle (or riding more often), according to national and local surveys. Many bicyclists complain that motorists simply do not see or are openly hostile on roadways. Bicycle accident research conducted by our staff throughout California has shown a similar pattern: the most commonly reported bicycle/vehicle accidents are broadsides that occur at busy arterial intersections in the late afternoon. Coincidentally, many of these bicyclists involved in accidents are younger people who are often improperly trained. Both of these issues point to the need for increased education--for bicyclists and motorists alike. Bicycle safety will be measured in two ways: (1) reviewing representative existing bicycle education programs being offered in the community and comparing these with other programs throughout the state and country; and (2) conduct field research into site specific hazards such as potholes, grates, railroad tracks, narrow streets, multiple driveways, limited line of sight, poor lighting, among other items on the regional system. We propose to use both approaches. We will also talk with representatives from the local schools, CHP, police departments, public works agencies, and active bicyclists to understand . some of the existing specific liability concerns, enforcement issues, and safety hazards in Atascadero. 4.4 -Accident Analysis Bicycle-related accidents (injuries and fatalities) will be collected for the past three years from available City and Statewide Incident Traffic Reporting System (SWITRS) data, and plotted graphically so that locations with abnormally high numbers of accidents can be identified. In addition,we will compare the number, severity, and type of accidents in Atascadero on a per capita basis with over 40 other cities throughout California so that an assessment can be made on the relative safety of bicyclists in Atascadero. Information derived from this analysis will be used to identify specific locations that require improvement, plus possible enhancements in motorist, bicyclist, and pedestrian awareness and educational programs. 4.5-Identify Existing Constraints The existing bicycle network in Atascadero will be reviewed for continuity, convenience and access. System continuity is defined as providing the user the opportunity to travel in a reasonably direct line from a point of origin (a residential neighborhood typically) to a point of destination. The existing system will be reviewed to determine existing gaps, barriers, and bottlenecks that prevent facility users from traveling to destinations within a neighborhood, throughout the City and to connecting points within the regional bikeway system. Remedial actions required to eliminate gaps and barriers will be identified. -..----------------------------..-..- -.- - - RRM Design 6roup 0 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan The existing system will be reviewed for general user convenience in terms of(a) accessibility from points of origin (coverage), (b) comfort level of streets used in terms of vehicle traffic, crossing protection, lane width, driveways, and other items, (c) topography and grades, (d) support facilities such as benches, drinking fountains, and bicycle storage facilities (lockers, racks) at major destinations, and (e) coherence of the system to the average user attempting to reach an unfamiliar destination. 4.6- Other Constrained Areas Based on field review and information reported by staff and other active bicyclists in the community (including members of our staffl, other problem areas for bicyclists in Atascadero that require enhance maintenance and/or re-design will be identified. This may include deteriorating pavement, grates, trail crossings, gravel, debris, faded paint, lack of signals, and other items. 4.7- Opportunity Areas A preliminary bicycle network has already been established by the bicycling community over time in Atascadero. We will review and refine the system based on our experience in developing systems for mid-sized cities, based on the distinct needs of each user group. This., review will include opportunity areas such as utility corridors, stream channels, and quiet side streets. Task 5: Develop Revised Policies, Goals, and Objectives We will work with the City to develop consistent overall goals and objectives for the Bicycle Transportation Plan building on existing documents. Goals, or future visions, will be developed out of existing efforts by the City and local community groups. They will be supplemented by bicycle goals from other communities and those developed by state and national bicycling organizations. Finally, they will be added to, changed, and/or refined by staff. Objectives, or directions, are more'specific statements under each goal or vision that define how policies will be achieved. For example, one goal may be to develop a system that is accessible by a wide variety of user groups. An objective under that vision may be to provide a new bicycle alternate route to attract less experienced riders. Policies and Standards will be developed out of the broader goals and objectives. Policies will be used as a framework for the institutional/administrative arrangement within the City that will manage the future bicycle and pedestrian system. These will address the following issues: a. Land use compatibility and consistency b. Safety • c. Connectivity d. Education e. Implementation - - RRM Design Group 000063 D .................... _ _ _ City of-Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan £ Funding g. Design and operation standards h. Performance standards for development i. Monitoring and maintenance standards j. Inter-department coordination All of these policy areas are covered in depth within this Scope of Services. Evaluation criteria that reflect these goals, objectives, and policies will be established under a later task. Draft goals, objectives, and policies will be submitted to the staff, Caltrans, SLOCOG, and other interested parties for review and comment. 5.1 - Coordination Kith Other Plans Existing and emerging bicycle-related plans will be inventoried and summarized to ensure consistency in the planning process. These plans include San Luis Obispo County, SLOCOG, and Cities of Paso Robles, Templeton, and area Specific Plans, Zoning Ordinances,TDNI Ordinances, and Capital Improvement Plans in Atascadero. 5.2-Review Relevant Legislation and Policies Our team is very cognizant of all relevant legislation (local, regional, state and federal) that might affect implementation of the Plan, and will summarize these for review by staff. Our team has excellent contacts in Washington, D.C., Sacramento, with SLOCOG, and locally, to provide the most up-to-date information possible about pending or existing legislation. This is very important considering the changes in TEA-21 legislation and the ripple affects of that change on funding opportunities. We are also involved in the development of new legislation and design standards on the state and national level, delivering technical papers on bicycle issues to Caltrans, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, American Planning Association, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and the Bicycle Federation of America. Task 6: Develop Citywide Bike Infrastructure Plan Existing conditions of candidate and alternative routes will be inventoried and reviewed. We will use a manual rating system that has proven effective in the bikeway planning process and can be easily accomplished in the field. The rating system breaks down all potential on- street routes down into the following categories: Type 1: Existing bike lanes that are up to Caltrans standard or existing streets that have low traffic volumes/speeds and does not warrant bike lanes (route is sufficient); Type 2: Bike lanes can be installed with minor re-striping (adequate width exists); or existing parking, travel, or turning median is not well utilized and could be removed; Type 3: Bike lanes would require removal/re-design of parking, travel lane, or median; Type 4: Bike lanes would require major re-construction of roadway (expanded width, new curb and gutter). --..-.--.---------.----..--.-.---.-..----.--.._..-.._..-.._.._.._..-.--..-----.-.------.-..- --- RRM Design Group 000064 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan This system allows staff to consider implementation problems as part of the planning process, and avoids developing a system that must be re-worked later to reflect implementation difficulties. The street system will be classified as potential bicycle routes based on: a. Existing bicycle patterns b. Traffic volumes (from available sources) c. Amount of side friction (busy driveways) d. General availability of curb to curb width e. Average traffic speeds f. General pavement condition and maintenance g. Access from residential areas h. Number of destinations served i. Integration into regional system j. Adjacent land use k. On-street parking Preferred access routes to recreational, shopping, and employment destinations throughout Atascadero will be identified based on (a) existing systems, (b) directness and convenience for bicyclists and pedestrians, and (c) connectivity to the surrounding residential areas and major destinations. " Transfer locations which might be upgraded with bike racks, lockers, improved signage, lighting, provisions for transportation bicycle on alternative transit modes will be identified based on (a) existing and anticipated use and (b) probability of attracting additional bicyclists and pedestrians. 6.2 -Bikeway Criteria In order to review and refine bicycle routes in Atascadero, we propose a series of working sessions with staff to set the evaluation framework for the Atascadero bicycle system. This framework generally consists of criteria such as need, safety, available right of way, connectivity and directness, barriers, multi-mode linkages, safety and conflicts, and security. This information will be mapped for use during the planning sessions, clearly showing traffic volumes, user groups, classifications, land use, speed limits, on-street parking, and other relevant information. Some of typical criteria used to evaluate bicycle routes include: Connectivity -provide connectivity between existing bicycle routes, lanes, or paths. Major gaps and barriers,including narrow bridges and roadways, should be targeted as high priority items. Multi-Modal Coordination - take advantage of multi-modal connections, including bus transfer stations, commuter rail stations, and shuttles to major destinations. RRM Design Group 000065 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan Accessibility - be accessible from residential neighborhood and connect to major destinations within and adjacent to Atascadero,including schools, parks,community centers, employment centers, and commercial centers. An activity center map may be prepared which delineates the location of major destinations in the City, including schools, employment centers, and other destinations. Convenience-provide reasonably direct routes from residential areas to major destinations, with the routes logically laid out and attractive to walkers, hikers, and riders (lower traffic volumes, wide streets). At major destinations, bicycle lockers or racks should be provided, as well as access to shower facilities (near employment centers). Aesthetics -Both recreational and commuting bicyclists prefer to ride along streets that are shaded, have visual relief, or offer other visual amenities. Usage - serve the greatest number of commuters and recreational users possible, focusing on major destinations. Potential usage will be determined through field observation, surveys, and feedback from staff and other interested parties. Safety - provide the highest level of safety possible while eliminating major safety concerns such as narrow roadways. This will be determined through discussions with staff, field observations, and the accident analysis. Environmental Concerns- address existing environmental concerns, including impact on natural habitats along Class I bike paths. Planned Roadway Improvement Projects - take advantage of planned roadway improvements which may accommodate bicycle facilities with relatively little additional cost. 6.3 -Recommended Bikeway System and Programs Recommended improvements will most likely fall into one or more of the following categories: a. New or relocated bicycle routes, lanes, or paths b. Crossing protection (loops, signals, signs, lighting) c. Support facilities (racks, lockers, showers, trash receptacles, restrooms, picnic facilities,phones, and parking facilities) d. Educational and promotional materials and events e. Changes in roadway striping and signage f. Re-paving,grate replacement, shoulder widening g. Changes in on-street parking h. Re-zoning,performance standards i. Improved maintenance program ........................................................................................................................................................................................000066 RRM Design Group - _ - - _ - _ _ _City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan _ _ - - _ - - - _ _ - 6.4 -Project Description Sheets We propose to utilize our Project Description Sheets for each recommended bicycle segment or improvement. This format has been recognized by Caltrans and used successfully on over 40 master plans. The sheets contain detailed information on each recommendation,including how the project addresses existing problems (gap closure, safety, maintenance, etc), location, width, length, classification, adjacent land uses, estimated costs, ranking, and responsibility for implementation and maintenance. Detailed street cross sections will be included that illustrate how bike lanes will be constructed on existing streets at key locations. Task 7: Identify Implementation Priorities, Responsible Parties, and Potential Funding Sources We will work with the City staff from Planning, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and the Police Department to formulate an implementation strategy that includes details on cost, responsible agency(ies), scheduling, and appropriate funding. An Implementation Plan for fundable, high priority projects over the next 10 years will be developed, along with an unconstrained implementation plan for the next 20 years. 7.1 - Ranking and Phasing of Recommendations The recommended programs and improvements will be ranked according to general planning criteria and submitted to staff for review and comment. A decision matrix will be used to attach weights to each criteria and determine which recommendations meet the highest number of criteria listed. This criteria will consist of those listed below and others developed with staff. a. Closure of critical gap or correction of bottleneck in existing system b. Improvement or program that serves an immediate safety need c. Segment which will attract a high use d. Current availability and/or suitability of right of way e. Service to previously neglected part of Atascadero f. Cost effectiveness g. Projected reduction in vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled h. Integration into the existing regional bikeway system i. Interface with other modes j. Local political and community support The recommended programs and improvements will next be evaluated according to very specific criteria listed in funding sources such as TEA-21 and TDA Article 3 bulletins. Each source requires a different type of project and documentation of impacts and benefits. Because of this, the selected routes or improvements will be developed in sufficient detail to qualify for the most stringent program requirements. RRM Design Group 000067 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan Other criteria to be applied from TEA-21 includes an emphasis on commuter routes, coordination with adjoining community trails and bikeways, coordination with other modes (transit), a completed trail and bikeway plan, compatibility with the Regional Plan, use of multiple sources for funding, and meeting Chapter 1000 guidelines. Our team will work closely with the staff throughout the selection and ranking process, lending expertise on funding,planning, and design guidelines when required. We will also conduct another field review to cross check the feasibility of certain sections which may have implementation problems. A phasing plan will be developed based on the ranking outcome combined with (a) funding availability and requirements, (b) other programmed transportation improvements, (c) eliminating an immediate bottleneck or safety hazard, and (d) ensuring that the system grows rationally rather than as a series of disconnected pieces over time. The Phasing Plan will recommend a ranking (low, medium, high) to accomplish a Phase I and II system over the next 10 to 20 years. 7.2 -Recommended Support Facilities Support facilities for bicycle systems include signal loop detectors, lighting, signing, bicycle repair shops, bicycle racks and lockers, bike racks on buses, shower facilities, and staging areas at trailheads. Support facilities will be inventoried for the system through available data and field observation. Support facilities will also be described and classified whenever possible. For example, the Bicycle Federation of America defines lockers as Class I, covered locking racks (Class II), and exposed racks as Class III. Recommended improvements and standards will be described as a series of specific standards, except at major destinations such as regional parks, where the actual number and type of support facilities will be identified. An example of a performance standard is a recommendation to provide storage facilities at all new office buildings at the rate of one space per 20 employees or 6,500 square feet. Our recommendations will also include actions such as improved access to local and regional transit and commuter rail, bike racks on buses, methods of improving bicycle security such as Bike Corrals (card-access secure areas), bike storage areas in attended parking lots and garages, building access and restriction guidelines based on successful bike parking guidelines, and recommended designs for bike racks and lockers. 7.3 - Classocation We will use the standard classification systems and design criteria where available including the bikeway classification system used by Caltrans and national bicycling organizations. Classifications are typically related to required width and lane separation based both on volume and type of users. These requirements must be cross-checked with the inventory of - --.-..-.------.-..-..--.----..-..-------.-----.-----.--.---.-..-..-..--.-.--.--------..-.-- RPM Design Group 000068 M 0 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan existing and potential bicycle routes to determine available right-of-way, particularly at critical points such as bridges and viaducts. Should it appear that existing conditions will prohibit the needed Bikeway type from being built with costly roadway re-construction, alternate routes or classification types will be selected. All existing bikeway facilities will be described by the classification system developed by Caltrans in Chapter 1000: Planning and Design of Bicycle Facilities. The classification system consists of the following categories: Bike Paths (Class I): bicycle or multi-use paths separate from roadways, with at-grade or grade separated crossings Bike Lanes (Class II):striped bicycle lanes on the right hand side of roadways Bike Routes (Class III):roadways which provide adequate shoulder width and signing, but no striping For liability, funding, and other purposes, we propose to use this and other available classification systems for this study. However, we recognize that there can be additional classification systems which provide more detailed information about existing and proposed facilities. Other classification systems include functional use (recreation, long distance, school, commuter), condition (poor, good), priority for improvement (Phase I, II), and usefulness by experienced or inexperienced riders based on traffic volumes and speeds. 7.4 - Geometria Bikeway facility geometrics and their relationship to roadways are of critical importance, and have been largely defined by Caltrans (Chapter 1000) and other organizations. One obvious example is a roadside Bikeway having to merge across right-turn lanes at busy intersections and interchanges. Another example is the treatment of bikeways at freeway ramp locations. We will work with staff to define the preferred geometrics for both roadway and grade separated bikeway facilities. 7.5-Environmental Constraints This type of constraint is generally identified with bike paths that follow waterways and impact open space and parklands. We have evaluated bikeways located in virtually all types of environmentally sensitive areas, and will work with local agencies to determine whether (a) design and engineering solutions are acceptable or (b) the segment should be re-routed elsewhere. - -..-.._..-..-_._..-._..-..----... .--._--_.._.--..-.--........-..-.._.._..----.._..-.._....._.._........_.. RRM Design 6roup 000069 00 ;; City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan 7.6-Monitoring, Maintenance, and Security We have successfully assisted cities and counties in the creation of monitoring programs through both dedicated staff and on-going citizen volunteer efforts (often through the Advisory Committee format). The purpose of the monitoring effort is to (a) ensure that the system is adequately maintained and promoted, (b) integrate and coordinate various City and County department efforts, (c) maintain strong City support, and (d) promote use and enjoyment of the system through promotional and educational events. We will recommend an organizational format for successful monitoring of the System. Maintenance and other operating expenses (including added policing costs) will be estimated based on experiences in Southern California and comparable regions. A recommended maintenance program will be developed that identifies minimum tasks and schedules including erosion control, street'sweeping, surface repair, and other efforts. Specific safety and maintenance improvements will include: Crossing Protection: Busy intersections where bicycle traffic exceeds a certain threshold may warrant new crossing protection in the form of signals, striping, loop detectors for signals, additional lighting, and signage. Surface Condition: Condition of the trail and bicycling surface and presence of obstructions or other hazards such as grates, railroad tracks, potholes, should be identified and corrected as part of the regular public works maintenance program. Obvious hazards that cannot be corrected may result in relocating the bike lane elsewhere. Vehicle Conflicts: Standards for locating bike lanes on arterials should be set, with thresholds of Average Daily Traffic (ADT), lane width, vehicle speed, on-street parking, and other factors. Generally speaking, bicycle facilities should be located on collector or arterial streets that are continuous and have crossing protection at major intersections. Streets to be avoided are major arterials along commercial strips with many driveways. User Conflicts: Class I paths typically attract a wide variety of users, from bicyclists to joggers to roller skaters. Proper design and engineering of a Class I path will resolve most problems until usage exceeds a certain threshold, at which point restrictions on use may have to be enforced on allowable bike speed. In all but the most crowded bike paths in California a 12 foot striped right of way with shoulders is adequate. Security for the proposed system will be composed of enforcement levels for motorists and bicyclists in adhering to the State Vehicle Code, and added security levels for multi-use trails and Class I bike paths that may require a dedicated "roving patrol." We will meet with the police department to determine their requirements for providing an acceptable level of security on the proposed system, and what cost implications that may have. All proposed Class I designs will be reviewed by both the police and fire departments to determine if there is (a) adequate access and (b) adequate protection for adjoining land uses. .......................................................-.......--........----..-.._.._..-........--.-..----..-...... .....--.-.--.....--.--.-..----..----.--.................d�0®'70 ARM Design Group City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan 7.7- Cost Estimates Using the Bicycle Data Base that lists detailed information on each proposed segment length, corridor condition, and other information, cost estimates will be developed. The costs will be separated between land cost (if any), site preparation, planning, design and engineering costs, construction costs, and environmental documentation/mitigation costs (if any). We will use the latest unit costs experienced by local City and County Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments in tandem with the most recent figures from comparable communities in California. Maintenance Costs Each segment will be evaluated according to an estimated cost-per-mile and estimated on- going maintenance and operation costs by implementation phase based on comparable experiences. The Department responsibility will also be identified, as will the relationship to possible funding and specific requirements. 7.9 -Liability Liability concerns are raised for any facility, such as bike lanes or routes, that is not built or maintained to accepted or required standards. As we will be reviewing the existing and proposed system, deviations will be noted and slated for modifications. Liability concerns for Class I bike paths and multi-use paths include potential complaints from adjacent landowners who claim that the trail or bikeway impacts their safety and security, or exposes them to potential lawsuits on the basis of being an "attractive nuisance." Finally, the City may negotiate an easement across private property and then have to indemnify the landowner from any possible lawsuit. Other liability concerns to be addressed are related to maintenance programs and claims to "safety" made by the County or cities regarding any improvements. We will use our experience on this matter as well as access to numerous case studies and reports on this issue for summary and presentation to the City. 7.10 - Trip Reduction PotentiallAirQuality Benefits Our staff has developed a trip reduction methodology for bicycle modes that is now being used around the state. We have also developed air quality calculations that have been accepted by the Air Control District for determining trip reductions from bicycle improvements in the region. Using results of the needs analysis, U.S. Census figures, and adjustment factors for Atascadero, a long term estimate of bicycle mode split can be made and translated into reduced vehicle trips, saved parking spaces, and reduced air pollution. For example, in the Visalia Bikeway Master Plan we calculated that increased bicycle usage would result in reductions of 0.03 tons/day of ROG and 0.02 tons/day of NOx by 1999. RRM Design 6noup 00007 1 • QQ City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan 7.11 -Funding Requirements Our staff has successfully helped communities around the state, including Solano County, Vallejo, San Leandro, Visalia, Escondido, and Santa Rosa, apply for and receive over $5 million in funding for bicycle facilities. Our team has effective contacts at Caltrans, FHWA, State Parks & Recreation, Bicycle Federation of America, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, ITE, and APA, allowing us to monitor applications and gain an understanding of criteria. Our team is familiar with virtually all state and federal sources of bikeway and pedestrian funding, including new funding sources in the TEA-21 legislation. We are also aware that funding is much more likely from all sources when it comes from a variety of local, State, Federal, and public and private sources. In other words, most funding sources prefer to "leverage" other funds rather than provide the bulk of funding themselves. We will identify potential matching and major funding sources, compile criteria and requirements, assist with completing applications, design this study to serve as an appendix to the funding application, and relate anticipated schedule of funding to the prioritized list of segments. Costs of the phased improvements will be compared with funding needs, so that long term programming for local-matching funds can be accomplished. Team members assigned to this project have helped over twenty five (25) cities, counties, and regions around the United States receive funding. This funding has come from a variety of sources, including: a. Local public works and parks and recreation CIP budgets b. State agencies c. Bike Lane Account d. TDA Article 13 e. Federal government f. TEA-21 (composed of eight separate funding sources) g. Non-profit organizations h. Corporate sponsors i. Zoning requirements j. Development fees k. Air quality grants We will explore all funding options from public and private sources, contacting our network of funding specialists around the U.S. to determine the availability and requirements for grants. We will have the ability to complete funding applications to help implement the system. 7.12-Develop Financial Plan Based on the recommended Phasing schedule, findings of regional significance, cost information, and funding opportunities, we will produce a final Priority List and 20-year Financial Plan which clearly identifies the funding requirements by year for the life of the plan, along with estimates of local matching funds. This will include estimates of operating and maintenance costs which are usually borne by local governments. RPM Design Group 0000-412 0 City of Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan Employer Incentives - Atascadero may work with major employers to encourage walking and bicycle commuting by their employees by coordinating promotional events, requiring the provision of bicycle lockers, and access to shower facilities. The City may provide incentives to employers who encourage bicycle commuting by reducing the parking requirement. Incentives may also be the provision of commuter bicycles by the employer. 1.3 -Education, Community and Employer Outreach Innovative programs to encourage people to try commuting by bicycle have been developed around the country. Most of these programs are managed by private non-profit groups or other organizations, requiring minimal City involvement. We would outline these programs so that they may be considered by groups in the future. In general, these programs include: Bicycle Donation We would help secure a fleet of bicycles to donate to a large employer (possibly the City) to be used as a seed for a "lender" program to be used by employees. This type of program has proved successful in other cities such as Portland, where the City has a fleet of lender bicycles to encourage employees to try bicycling as a commute alternative. Bicycle Clunker and Parts Programs We would outline two programs that have proved successful around the U.S. The clunker program involves setting up a program to solicit and repair older bicycles and donate to local employers, schools, and others for use by bicycle commuters. The parts program serves the same function: collect older bicycles and recycle parts for use in restoring clunkers for potential commuter use. Bicycle Repair Program We would outline a bicycle maintenance program built on successful examples in the Bay Area, whereby a non-profit group sponsors a bicycle-repair program. Local bicyclists work with under-privileged children, teaching them how to repair and maintain bicycles. This program may be funded in part by local or regional foundations or large employers. Bicycle Education Increase programs to teach school children how to properly ride bicycles and wear helmets through Bike Rodeos or other methods. This program should be taught to every school child at least once a year. A program for adults and motorists (possibly through driver's education and driving school) including curriculum, cost, and other details will be outlined. Bicycle Licensing. As part of the education process and as a means of reducing bicycle theft, a bicycle licensing program may be implemented for school children. -•- -.._.._..-.•--•-••----••---......-••--.-••-•--••----.._.._.._.._..----••--.-.._.._..-........-••---...

RPM Design 6roup 000075 ...................... - _ _ City of_Atascadero Bicycle Transportation Plan V. We've Done It Before RRM Design Group Selected Relevant Experience Santa Paula Branch Line Recreation Trail, Santa Paula, CA RRM Design Group is currently in the process of designing a 32-mile long multi-use recreational trail within old Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way that was recently purchased by the Ventura County Transportation Commission. The trail is located between the cities of San Buenaventura and Santa Clarita, traversing the Santa Clara River valley floor where agricultural operations are a local mainstay. While there are many engineering issues to be resolved within the 32-mile stretch, RRM Design Group was hired by Ventura County in response to the company's emphasis placed on finding planning solutions through public involvement in the planning and design process. Critical elements to this project include land use compatibility between agricultural operators and trail users, emphasizing tourism and recreational activity while respecting current and future railway operations and filming activities, and incorporating historical design elements and interpretative markers along its route. In addition to balancing the desires of varied interest groups, this project will require providing logical connections with regional bike path systems, coordination with multiple public agencies along the route, and identification of implementation strategies to bring the project to fruition. This project is funded through Federal TEA grants, with future construction expected to be similarly funded as well. Reference. Christopher Stephens 805/642-1591 x105 Ventura County Transportation Commission 950 County Square Drive, Suite 207,Ventura,CA 93003 Lathrop Bicycle Transportation Plan, Lathrop, CA RRM Design Group recently prepared a Bicycle Transportation Plan for the City of Lathrop, California. The planning process has included a comprehensive public participation process that included community surveys and public workshops. The plan, prepared consistent with the California Bicycle Transportation Act, provides a 20-year vision of bicycle circulation improvements throughout the City's General Plan sphere. Key elements of the plan include a Class I bike route loop around the City's perimeter and a system of recreational riding trails along the San Joaquin River. In addition, the plan provides a number of projects and programs for maximizing bicycle commuters within the City of Lathrop. Implementation projects have been specifically designed to make them competitive for local, state,and federal funding. Reference.

DISCUSSION: Attached is a staff report proposed by San Luis Obispo Council of Government's staff regarding the Complete Census Count Program. The report identifies different levels of participation and measures to achieve a good census. The Census is important as it sets the base for the City's population for the next ten years. Per capita funding from State and Federal sources are based on the census count. As seen by the attached table, four agencies are recommending the $175,000 commitment level, three are recommending $75,000 and one city is not participating. FISCAL IMPACT: The City's contribution is recommended at $7,900. ALTERNATIVES: 1. No participation. The population count has a significant impact on the City. Staff recommends that the City have some level of participation. 2. Participate at the $175,000 level. Staff did not recommend this alternative. While it is important to be involved, staff believes that the returns would not be significantly greater with the higher contribution. ATTACHMENTS: SLOCOG Staff Report 000105 SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS STAFF REPORT i MEETII�TG DATE July 7, 1999 STTB,TECT; Census 2000 Complete Count Program SUMMARY The purpose of the Census 2000 Complete Count Program is to encourage and promote the need, benefits, and safety of completing the Census Questionnaire. An accurate census is important as most Federal and State funds are based on population allocations. An undercount of only 5% would result in the loss of$3 Million per year. Five funding alternatives, ranging from $75 thousand to $300 thousand, were provided to the SLOCOG Board at the June meeting. Support for the $175,000 alternative was received from the Board at that time. Staff has refined the approach and budget for further consideration by the Administrators Committee at their meeting of Jujy .�����® RECOMMENDATION Staff: A.)Authorize Staff to implement a Census 2000 Complete Count Program B.) Funding level to be established by jurisdiction contributions as determined through Administrators Committee. C.) Modify Budget and Work Program to include agreed upon Complete Count Program. SLOCOG Board (June 2,1999) Support$175,000 alternative. (See June 2, minutes, Item B-2) Administrators Committee (July 1) Committee recommendation to be reported at COG meeting. BACKGROUND The Administrators Committee unanimously recommended having SLOCOG act as the lead and to pursue a targeted approach to the Census 2000 Complete Count Program with funding committed by each member agency on a population allocation basis. The Administrators Committee, during the June 28`" meeting, split their support between the $75,000 and the $175,000 funding levels, and staff was directed to continue development of the plan and budget. Staff was directed to: lead the targeted approach at the April SLOCOG meeting; and develop a plan and budget at the May meeting. In June, the SLOCOG Board supported the $175,000 alternative. A regional approach is recommended to target specific populations to assure confidentiality and benefits of the Census. Additional San Luis Obispo County organizations (i.e. Economic Opportunity Commission) as well as several other COGs have been contacted for their input into the process. Staff is part of a nationwide group that discusses various census programs but has been unable to ascertain from this group or additional sources the direct payback from various outreach techniques and funding levels. However, staff have learned the Census efforts in 1990 counted a maximum of 175 homeless individuals in the county. Through contacts with the North County Homeless Coalition, it is estimated that nearly 3,000 homeless individuals exist in our county. If 1,000 additional homeless persons are counted during Census 2000, the total payback would be$250,000 per year. The following items are attached to this staff report: • Examples of the 1990 efforts for Oxnard, L.A., and Santa Ana, • Informative Census Bureau sheet-Census 2000 in a Flash, SLOCOG's Recommended Census 2000 Complete Count Program and budget needs are described in the following discussion. B-1-1 000106 DISCUSSION SLOCOG'S RECOMMENDED CENSUS 2000 COMPLETE COUNT PROGRAM AND BUDGET The program was developed for three funding levels. The Low funding level is approximately $75,000, the High funding level is approximately $240,000, and the Recommended funding level which mixes elements from Low and High scenarios, is approximately $175,000. The following lists the major components of the proposed program, and identifies elements of the Low, High, and Recommended funding levels. INITIAL OUTREACH (August- December) The basis of this campaign is to reach the people through trusted groups and individuals. During the early stages of SLOCOG outreach, supplemental SLOCOG staff presents information to various groups (as identified by City/County Contacts). At these meetings, assistance of community groups, organizations, or clubs will be requested. Ideally, four such groups (such as EOC) that are deeply integrated into the targeted populations and communities will step forward to Community Based Organization (CBO) Leader. These CBO leaders would continue outreach to targeted groups, organizations, and clubs through the use of speakers, campaigners, and phone banks, and would identify the events and materials best suited for the outreach effort. With CBO leaders in place, SLOCOG would be responsible for coordinating the individual CBOs efforts and supplying necessary training, materials, and support to them. SLOCOG may be required to staff outreach programs that are not part of a CBOs efforts. SPEAKERS (JAN 1 -APR 15) After receiving training, the Speakers will be scheduled to go to club or organization meetings of their peer groups impressing upon them the importance and confidentiality of filling out the Census Questionnaire. These presentations would be geared to urge providers to in turn urge their clients to complete census forms. For example, a speaker may present to a staff meeting of County Social Service workers so that the workers would spread the word/materials to their clients. Speakers would be scheduled to approach the groups that they know best, such as a well-known South County Hispanic Activist focuses efforts into that area and population. Suitable speakers must be identified and trained and scheduled for events. Support materials (fliers/brochures) are necessary to distribute information to the audience AND to the audiences contacts. The funding level dictates the number of events. Low High Recommended Number of events 100 250 250 Avg. Per Jurisdiction 12 30 30 Speakers will present to regularly scheduled functions. However, it is anticipated that some specially scheduled events, particularly to address census issues to the particular population, will be scheduled, i.e., an hour after church, at a mobile home park recreation room. At the lowest funding level, the focus is on the easiest areas to reach and the highest concentrations. Higher funding will attempt to reach the smaller communities with Speaker Events as well, i.e., Cambria, Oceano, San Miguel, Shandon.... B-1-2 0001017 CAMPAIGNERS (MAR 15-APR 30, as the forms become available) LBOs will identify persons to fill this group to conduct an active outreach campaign. Similar to 'Get out the Vote', Campaigners, with the help of the CEOs,will identify activities and neighborhoods with concentrations of the targeted populations and actively encourage questionnaire return. Locations for such events may be identified as Farmers Markets, Swap Meets, Flea Markets, or even canvassing specific neighborhoods. Matching the Campaigner with an appropriate targeted population is necessary. Support from SLOCOG comes in materials and training. Again, the funding level dictates the number of events. Low High Recommended Number of events 100 200 200 Avg. Per Jurisdiction 12 25 25 PHONE BANK (March, April) Organizations that provide direct services to the targeted population will be asked to personally call some of their clients to urge them to complete their form. This may be done by service provider staff of a community based organization, with the allocated funds used to subsidize staff person's salary. Because of confidentiality issues volunteers or campaigners could not be used to do phone banking. Low Hi4h Recommended Number of hours 100 400 200 INTERPRETER It may be necessary to pay for the translation of printed promotional materials from English into Spanish. Low High Recommended Number of hours 80 160 80 HOMELESS OUTREACH Several options have been listed to do outreach to the homeless population. At this time, it is still unknown the exact methods to be undertaken by the Census Bureau to count this population. It is believed, however, that a one time count of shelters and soup kitchens will employed. If this is the only method used, our effort must be to entice this population to come in on one specific day. Grocery coupons (i.e., Lucky's) may be used, or a special meal (i.e., Easter dinner) prepared for specific locations throughout the county may be funded. A completed form would be the ticket to either, or both. However, in addition to the incentive, promotion of the date and the incentive must occur. Outreach may occur through promotional items, i.e., water bottles, with information included or flyers posted prior to the event in key locations. Low High Recommended Food Coupons ($) zero $15,000 zero Informational Flyers $500 $500 $500 Informational Water Bottles $1,000 $5,000 $5,000 Other Incentives, i.e. food $1,000 $15,000 $15,000 COLLEGE OUTREACH Several methods are identified for outreach to Cal Poly, Cuesta, and Cuesta North Students. Mustang Daily ads and/or articles, posted flyers, or brochures distributed within the classroom. Brochures could be tailored to reach students and informational packet prepared for the instructors. The Recommended level includes the 'Class Flyers/Brochures' category. The goal would be to provide class materials for the first class of every instructor. Low High Recommended College Newspaper ads 6 20 20 Campus Flyers $500 $500 $500 Class Flyers/Brochures zero $6,000 $4,500 B-1-3 000108 The census questionnaires will begin to come out during the last week and finals week of Cal Poly. In the past, students were not informed and were counted in their parents homes during the break. Promotional information and immediately after the break would capture additional students. College students may become CAMPAIGNERS to canvass areas of off campus student housing. JR. HIGH OUTREACH The Census Bureau will provide informational packets to 3rd or 4`h grades. The assumption is that these packets will be brought home to the child's parent and reviewed. Outreach to Junior Highs, 7 1 grade classes, would be geared toward the 7`h graders filling out the Questionnaires WITH their parents. A curriculum would be prepared, ideally by an existing or retired educator, and distributed to the 10 districts in an attempt to reach the approximately 3,000 public school 7th graders. To maximize return, each parent would be requested to sign and return the information form wtih their student. The lower funding level will target specific schools identified as the most likely to include children from families within the targeted population. Low High Recommended Development of curriculum $3,000 $3,000 $3,000 Produce/ Distribute materials $3,000 $9,000 $9,000 ADDITIONAL SUPPORT Support in coordination, training, outreach, development of products, and production of products will be provided by SLOCOG Staff. Brochures and flyers will be developed (English and Spanish), printed, and distributed to primary distribution points (may include CBOs). At the lowest funding level, 150,000 brochures and 1,000 flyers would be developed and produced on cheap stock, the development would be restricted to readily available information, and the distribution would be geared to the population concentration areas and the CBOs efforts. Production of both levels includes the use of two colors. The higher funding level would produce 250,000 brochures and 4,000 flyers on a higher quality stock, the development would be based on input gained from outreach efforts during and during CBO identification; distribution would also include focus placement in activity areas of the small communities (i.e., community centers, local markets, post offices). Low High Recommended Brochures (count) 150,000 250,000 250,000 Flyers (count) 1,000 4,000 4,000 ADVERTISING Two levels of funding were identified for advertising. The advertisement cost breakdown list below are estimations. With his advertising background, the Regional Rideshare Coordinator provided extensive input into this arena in both estimated costs and best approaches.

Ventura COG, Santa Barbara CAG, and San Joaquin County CAG were contacted but have not secured funding or agreement for a regional effort. AMBAG is leading a regional effort for their three counties (San Benito, Monterey, and Santa Cruz) - one city is augmenting outreach efforts, $40,000 is available for a media campaign, one additional staff person is funded. In addition to the Media campaign, AMBAG is coordinating efforts that are staffed and funded by the individual counties.

Adopt Resolution No. 1999-065, certifying the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and, 2. Adopt Resolution No. 1999-066, approving General Plan Amendment 98002; and, 3. Introduce for first reading by title only Ordinance No. 367, adding a Planned Development Overlay District-15 (PD-15) to the City Zoning Ordinance; and, 4. Introduce for first reading by title only Ordinance No. 368, rezoning the project site from RS (Residential Suburban) to RSF-X (PD-15), L (PD-15) (Recreation), and I (Industrial); and, 5. Adopt Resolution No. 1999-067, approving Tentative Tract Map 98013 as amended and subject to the Conditions of Approval. DISCUSSION: Background The proposed project consists of the following elements (1) General Plan Amendment 98002 to change the land use designation of approximately 39.9± acres from Suburban Single Family to 20.3± acres High Density Single Family, 10.0± acres Recreation, 2.7± acres Industrial and 6.9± acres streets and the extension of the Urban Service Line to provide sewer 00 service to the project area, (2) Zone Change 98004 to change the zoning from RS (Residential Suburban) to RSF-X (Residential Single-Family 1/2-acre minimum with sewer), L (Recreation), and I (Industrial), consistent with the General Plan Amendment with a 000114 ITEM NUMBER: B - 1 DATE: 11/09/99 Planned Development Overlay District, and (3) a 43-lot tentative tract map with a net residential density of 38 dwelling units. The project site is a single 39.9 acre Suburban Single Family parcel that is located in the north east quadrant of town on Traffic Way. The parcel has been historically used as pasture and is occupied by three separate single-family dwelling all belonging to the same owner. Although Traffic Way bisects the parcel, the City has no public right-of-way for the segment of street that crosses the parcel. The site is bordered on the east by the Union Pacific Railroad and by Seperado Avenue on the west. The site is predominately flat on the east side of Traffic Way and has slopes that range up to 25% on the west. The sloped portion of the site is characterized by sparse grasslands intermixed with stands of oak trees. The northern portion of the site contains a freshwater spring that supports a densely forested freshwater marsh and riparian forest. The site is contiguous to the Urban Services Line with higher density single-family land uses on the north, south and east. Summary of Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission considered the project on October 19, 1999. Attached are the minutes and adopted resolutions of the Planning Commission's hearing (refer to Attachment 6). The Commission discussed and evaluated a full range of project issues including circulation, open space preservation, oak trees and parkland dedication during the project consideration. Public testimony primarily involved the discussion of an expanded General Plan Amendment study area that was determined to be premature to be considered with the project (refer to management reports). On a unanimous vote the Commission recommended the project for approval. The Commission adjusted the Conditions of Approval to allow for a narrower collector street (refer to Condition of Approval #54) and limited improvements on Seperado to the area 150-feet east of San Anselmo intersection (refer to Condition of Approval #53). The applicant has requested the ability to file multiple final maps on the project consistent with the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act. This request would allow the industrial lots to be improved independently of the residential portion of the project. All applicable project conditions would apply to each phase. Staff has determined that the request for multiple maps is reasonable and consistent with the Planning Commission approval. The resolution for map approval has been revised to allow for phased final maps to be filed. Analysis 1. Project Summary The proposed project contains a mix of residential, recreational, open space and industrial land uses. The project has been designed to cluster residential development on the west side of Traffic Way and avoid the most sensitive portions of the site. Although the minimum lot size for the project will be 1/4-acre, the project will have an average lot size of 0.53 acres. The maximum density of the residential area will be 1.9 du's/acre, which is below the maximum density of 2 dwellings/acre (two '/-acre lots equals 1-acre or 2 du's/ac) allowed within the proposed RSF-X zoning district. The residential portion of the project is expected 000315 ITEM NUMBER: B - 1 DATE: 11/09/99 to generate approximately 360 average daily trips. These trips will be widely distributed across the entire project site and will not have a significant effect on the street system when upgraded. The project's intensity is summarized in the following table. Proposed Project Land Use Summary (as conditioned) Land Use Zoning Acreage Dwelling Density Ave Lot Size High Density Single Family RSF-X(2 du's/ac max) 18.5 acres 35 du's 1.90 du's/ac 0.53 ac Park(Public) Recreation 6.4 acres 0 du's Open Space Recreation 5.4 acres 0 du's Industrial Industrial 2.7 acres 1 du** Streets 6.9 acres Total 39.9 acres 36 du's 0.90 du's/ac ..existing house will become a non-comforming use following rezone to industrial Existing Entitlement Land Use Summary Land Use Zoning Acreage Dwelling Density Single Family Suburban RS(0.40 du's/ac max) 39.9 acres 13 du's 0.33 du's/ac Park(Public) Recreation 0.0 acres Open Space Recreation 0.0 acres Industrial Industrial 0.0 acres Streets 0.0 acres Total 39.9 acres 13 du's 0.33 du's/ac Approximately 13 dwelling units would be allowed under the existing RS zoning. 2. A Planned Development Overlay is Part of the Rezoning The minimum lot size allowed in the RSF-X zoning district is.% acre which translates into a maximum residential density of 2 dwelling units per acre. In order for the project to be able to preserve 11.8± acres of parkland and open space, the clustered residential portion of the site is proposed with minimum lot sizes of 1/4 acre. The proposed rezoning will include the creation of the Planned Development 15 Overlay Zoning District (PD-15) which would allow 1/4 acre minimum lot sizes provided the overall density does not exceed 2 units per acre. The PD-15 Overlay requires the approval of a master plan of development which is part of the rezoning action (refer to Attachment 10). Unlike the PD-7 master plan of development, individual house locations, building floor plans and elevations are not required. 3. The Project Will Cluster Lot Density to Preserve Open Space and Provide Parkland Under the current General Plan and Zoning the 39.9 acre site could be subdivided into approximately 12 to 13 individual residential lots. This type of subdivision project would not provide any public parkland, the spring area would not be protected on a separate lot, and all of the units might have driveway access on Traffic Way. The applicant has proposed to 000116 ITEM NUMBER: B - 1 DATE: 11/09/99 cluster the residential development on the less sensitive portions of the site and provide public parkland in exchange for an increased residential density. The project as conditioned will provide a 6.4 acres public park site and a 5.4 acre open space reserve in the location of the spring. The park site will be dedicated to the City of Atascadero with recordation of the Final Map. Although the City does not have any specific plans or funds for park improvements, the City's goal is to work with local organizations to plan and fund a community serving park in this location. The Community Services Department has reviewed the site and has endorsed it as a suitable park site. The spring area is a valuable freshwater marsh habitat for a number of sensitive species of animals. The riparian canopy of the spring also provides a distinctive open space feature that reinforces Traffic Way's rural character. The spring area will be protected from future development on a separate, deed restricted lot. 4. The Project has been Designed to Respond to Environmental Constraints Staff has prepared an expanded initial study as part of the CEQA review process for the project. Focused studies were prepared to analyze biological and archaeological resources found on the site. The findings of these studies have been incorporated into the project as mitigation measures. Staff has determined that the project's impacts can be reduced to a level of less than significant when mitigation measures are added to the project. The biological study determined that the spring area is a valuable freshwater marsh and riparian habitat area that is under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers. Any disturbance or development within this area would create potentially significant environmental impacts and trigger the federal wetlands 404 permit process. The biological study recommended that these areas be avoided to minimize impacts. The northwestern portion of the tentative map has 3-4 residential lots within the boundaries of the wetland area. The initial study mitigation measures call for these lots to be eliminated and reconfigured and the sensitive areas to be added to the open space preserve. Staff has conditioned the map to delete the three lots and reconfigure the neighboring lots. The reconfiguration of the remaining lots will provide for better building sites and avoid the cluster of oak trees on lot 10. Prior to any site work and recordation of the Final Map the applicant will prepare a formal wetlands delineation for certification by the Corps. The Final Map may be adjusted based on the results of the delineation. The Phase I archaeological study found that 4 potential significant sites may exist on the east side of the site in the location of the park site and industrial zone. The study did not identify any potentially significant archaeological features on the west side of Traffic Way in the residential zone. The study recommended that a Phase II survey be conducted of the sites on the east side of Traffic way prior to development. The City will be responsible for preparing the Phase II Study for the park site prior to master planning the site. The industrial zone will need to have the Phase II study completed prior to Final Map. Q0®11'7 ITEM NUMBER: B - 1 DATE: 11/09/99 5. Oak Tree Preservation The site contains approximately 170± mature native oak trees and a dense riparian forest. To the extent possible, the project has been designed to minimize impacts on these features. Three to four oak trees will need to be removed to accommodate the alignment of the collector street as part of subdivision improvements. The oaks to be removed are as follows: Name Description Tree 1 30-inch Live Oak Tree 2 18-inch Live Oak Tree 3 18-inch Live Oak Tree 4 36-inch Live Oak(an attempt to save this tree will be made by including it in a median island) A number of other oak trees are located adjacent to the proposed collector street. The street has been aligned and future improvements will be designed to minimize impacts on these trees. The Planning Commission authorized staff to approve the removal of trees over 24- inch in this area if avoidance becomes infeasible. This will allow staff the flexibility to work with the project engineering without having to come back to the Commission if an unforeseen issue arises. The majority of the oak trees will be located on residential lots that will be subject to future development. Each lot has been designed with an adequate building site that would allow residential development while preserving the existing oaks. Staff review of plot plans during the building permit process will ensure future tree protection. 6. The Project Provides a Number of Public Benefits The General Plan Amendment and Zone Change are legislative acts which the City has no obligation to approve, unlike a tentative map or use permit that can meet all applicable standards. Consequently, the benefits and costs of a project to the City should be considered. The zoning ordinance requires that Planned Development projects provide a public benefit. In the case of this project, a number of public benefits will be realized from amending the General Plan and Zoning Map, to allow the project to be built. The following list summarizes the project's potential benefits to the City. 0003118 ITEM NUMBER: B - 1 DATE: 11/09/99 Summary of Project Benefits Parkland Dedication The project will dedicated over 6 acres of flat useable land to the City for the future development of a public park. Spring Preservation The hillside spring is a valuable habitat and visual resource. The project will permanently dedicate this area as an open space preserve consistent with General Plan Open Space Policy 1.c. that requires open space dedications of sensitive areas as part of the subdivision process. Bike Path The project will provide a combination bicycle and walking path along the eastern side of Traffic Way. Traffic Way Dedication Although Traffic Way crosses the site, a public right-of way does not exist for the street. Dedication of a right-of-way to the City will resolve any issues of access rights at no cost to the City. Industrial Land The City lacks an adequate inventory of industrial land for existing and new businesses. The project will provide additional sites for light industrial development and prevent additional residential development along the railroad. 7. Traffic Way Will be Upgraded Traffic Way is an important and scenic route through the community. In addition to dedicating a right-of-way for the street to the City, the project will widen and upgrade the street. Traffic Way will be rebuilt to collector street standards which call for a 40-foot paved section with curb, gutter and sidewalks. Staff is concerned that the City's collector street standard with attached sidewalks on both sides of the street has an urban character that would not be appropriate given the rural character of the area. The Planning Commission is recommending that a revised street section be adopted for use along Traffic Way from the project site north (refer to Attachment 6). The revised section would have the same paved width and right-of-way but would eliminate the sidewalk on the west side of the street. The sidewalk on the east side of the street would be converted into a detached 8-foot wide bike path with a parkway strip along the back of curb. In addition to creating a more rural character, this street section could provide for a Class I Bikeway to be extended along the entire length of Traffic Way in the future. 8. San Anselmo Avenue Will be Extended to Traffic Way The project includes a street connection between San Anselmo and Traffic Way. This street provides internal circulation for the project as well as public views of the open space preserve. Because this street will provide a more convenient connection to San Anselmo and Del Rio, there is a concern about traffic speed through the site. The connector street has been designed with an intersection to force traffic to stop within the project. Based on the initial study's findings, staff is recommending that additional "traffic calming" devices be incorporated into the project to slow traffic. The project is conditioned to give the City Engineer authority to add calming devices including textured pavement, corner bow-outs, median islands and speed humps as needed. The Planning Commission has recommended that a narrower collector street section be used to encourage slower traffic. Sep erado Avenue is an existing street that fronts the project's southern boundary and is in a 0 state of disrepair in some areas. While the project does not take direct access from Seperado, it is City policy that subdivisions are responsible for improving all frontage streets. The ©991:19 ITEM NUMBER: B - 1 DATE: 11/09/99 Planning Commission has recommended a conditioned that Seperado Avenue improvements be limited from San Anselmo to the east 150-feet and that all future right-of-way easements be obtained with the final map. 9. Industrial Zoning is Appropriate Along the Railroad The project includes the designation of approximately 3-acres, along the railroad, for light industrial use. Since the City has a deficiency of industrial sites available for new and expanding businesses, additional industrial lands would be beneficial. The industrial area is adjacent to existing light industrial uses and would represent the logical conclusion of that land use district. Due to the proximity of the 3-acre area to the railroad, the residential use of the area is not desirable. Light industrial development in this location would be compatible with the railroad the traffic patterns on Traffic Way. Staff is recommending that shared driveways be required for the industrial lots. The northern portion of lot 41 appears to narrow for industrial uses. The project has been conditioned that portions of the lot less than 50-feet in depth shall not be used for industrial uses unless additional area is obtained for the neighboring railroad property. 10. An Expanded Study Area should not be Considered as Part of this Project Staff was contacted by property owners near San Benito School requesting that their property by rezoned to allow smaller lots, during the hearing processing for the Mackey project. In a letter dated June 8, 1999 staff indicated that the area between the Davis property and San Benito School would be analyzed for a possible rezoning as part of a"Special Study Area'. This discussion item is not considered as part of this project and has been separated into a separate Council Report (refer to management reports) 11. Proposed Environmental Determination Staff has prepared an initial study for the project in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act. As previously discussed, focused studies were prepared for biological and archaeological issues and incorporated into the initial study. Based on the findings of the initial study, staff determined that all potentially significant environmental impacts could be reduced to a level of less than significant when mitigation measures were applied to the project. A proposed mitigated negative declaration has been prepared and posted for the project. The public review period for the mitigated negative declaration is from October 8 to October 29, 1999. The Commission made the recommendation to the City Council to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Conclusion The proposed project is an innovative mixed use, cluster development proposed on a challenging site. As a result of creative site planning, the project as conditioned, appears suited to the site and will provide a number of benefits to the public. The Planning Commission is recommending approval of the project as conditioned. 000 �,O ITEM NUMBER: B -1 DATE: 11/09/99 FISCAL IMPACT: The project would result in increased property tax base to the City. Actual increase to City revenue would be nominal. The collector street and open space area are conditioned to require a private maintenance mechanisms to be established prior to final map to minimize future maintenance obligations to the City. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The Council may approve the project with modifications. 2. The Council may deny the amendments and the subdivision The map. Thparcel would retain its designation of Single Family Suburban. 3. The Council may refer the item back to the Commission or staff for additional analysis. Direction on specific information should be given to staff. RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENT: Community Development Department ATTACHMENTS: 1. Attachment 1: Vicinity Map 2.

Phil Dunsmore answered that the existing zoning prevents additional development and that the lots may not be developed any further. PUBLIC TESTIMONY: Ken Wilson, spoke on behalf of the applicant stating that staff did a fine job of covering all the points. Commissioner Fonzi stated that the change will not affect the property in any way; that the two houses are on separate utilities and they are not rented, so the supply of rental stock will not be deminished. ACTION: Moved by Commissioner Fonzi and seconded by Commissioner Jeanes to adopt Resolution PC 1999-051 therefore finding that the project would not have significant adverse affects on the environment and approving the Negative Declaration, and approving Tentative Parcel Map 99006 allowing creation of two parcels with and exception to the minimum easement width and an exception to the maximum depth to width ratio based on findings and subject to certain conditions.

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 98002 — 3900 Traffic Way (APN 049-031-003) Mixed Use Cluster Residential Subdivision (General Plan Amendment 98002, Zone Change 98004,Tentative Tract Map 98013) The proposed project consists of the following elements (1) General Plan Amendment 98002 to change the land use designation of approximately 39.9 acres from Single Family Suburban to 20.3± acres High Density Single Family, 10.Ot acres Recreation, 2.7± acres Industrial and 6.9± acres streets and the extension of the Urban Service Line to provide sewer service to the project area, (2) Zone Change 98004 to change the zoning from RS (Residential Suburban) to RSF-X (Residential Single-Family 1/2-acre minimum with sewer), L (Recreation), and I (Industrial), consistent with the General Plan 0001,29 Planning Commission Meeting-October 19, 1999 Page 5 of 15 Amendment with a Planned Development Overlay District, and (3) a 43-lot tentative tract map with a net residential density of 38 dwelling units. PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION: Based on the findings of an expanded initial study a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed for the project consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act. The initial study determined that the project would have a less than significant environmental effect when mitigation measures are incorporated into the project. Staff Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. PC 1999-052, recommending that the City Council certify the Mitigated Negative Declaration; adopt Resolution No. PC 1999-053, recommending that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment 98002; adopt Resolution No. PC 1999-054, recommending that the City Council approve Zone Change 98004, creating a Planned Development Overlay District PD-15 and amending the Zoning Map; and adopt Resolution No. PC 1999-055, recommending that the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map 98013 as amended and subject to the Conditions of Approval. Warren Frace, Planning Services Manager presented the staff report and answered questions presented by the Commission and general public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commissioner Eddings asked if the mitigation measures regarding the eliminating the lot lines on the north side of the property were included in the conditions. Warren Frace responded that the mitigation measures are incorporated in the resolutions. Commissioner Jeanes asked to what extent is the "leeway to be given to staff' regarding tree removal. Warren Frace responded that only a few trees along the collector street may be affected, depending on how high or low the cuts have to be for the road. Commissioner Fonzi asked about the following: • How was traffic, about 360 daily trips daily, determined and was the cumulative effect of the Lakes project taken into account for the traffic study? • Specific improvements to Seperado? • When will the archeological study be completed and is the City responsible for the study? Warren Frace responded as follows: N • The 360 trips per day were based on engineering standards that assume 10 trips per day per unit. There is the possibility, if San Anselmo is connected to Traffic Way, that there will be some existing off-site trips may go through the project. • The Lakes project was analyzed with its own environmental document and mitigation measures for its impacts. One of the Lakes' conditions of approval was to fund 0001 ,0 Planning Commission Meeting—October 19, 1999 Page 6 of 15 improvements along Traffic Way. With the combination of the Lakes project and this project, there will be funding for improvements to Traffic Way from Chico Road to San Jacinto. • Regarding Separado, it is City policy that a project is responsible for improving half of the right-of-way adjacent their property. • The archeological study will be completed with the park master plan and that the City will be responsible. Commissioner Clark inquired about the process, did owner come to staff or was it staff's design? He also commented about the traffic and asked why San Anselmo wasn't connected straight through to Traffic Way. Warren Frace responded that the project goes back prior to Mr. Frace joining staff. Most of the work was done by the applicant and previous staff. At this point, both the applicant and staff are satisfied with the project. San Anselmo could not connect straight through to Traffic Way without affecting the wetlands. The offset street connection will slow through traffic. Commissioner Clark expressed concern with regard to the curve on Traffic Way adjacent to this project, and asked if that one turn could be straightened out. Warren Frace explained that when the street is widened, the City Engineer will apply site distance standards adjusting some of the curves slightly, but the overall intent is to keep the street in the same location. Commissioner Zimmerman expressed concern that the park land does not appear to be choice park land and stated that he understood that the Park and Recreation Commission has not taken a formal look at this project to date. Warren Frace stated that Planning staff has been working with Community Services staff with regard to the parkland. Community Services is aware of this park area they have indicated that this is an appropriate and desirable site for a park. Commissioner Zimmerman asked about the size of the lots on Seperado. Warren Frace stated that the lots are between approximately 6,000 and 12,000 square feet on average. Commissioner Bentz commented that the project contained fifteen lots 1/4 acre or less, and 23 lots 1/2 or greater. Is there a chance that those that are 1/2 or larger have a chance to become 1/4 acre? Warren Frace responded that the tentative maps will be the final density of the project due to the PD overlay. Chairman Carden asked what the allowed uses could be in the wetlands? Should a zone be created for it? Warren Frace stated that there is no Open Space Land Use Designation at this point and with the update of the General Plan, perhaps the City should look at creating an Open Space Land Use Designation as well as a Zoning Designation to correspond with it. 000131 Planning Commission Meeting—October 19 1999 Page 7 of 15 Chairman Carden asked how wide is Davis Way(collector street)proposed to be? Warren Frace stated that the applicant proposed a 26' paved width and staff is recommending 32' paved width based on City standards. If the Commission feels that the project would benefit from conditioning a narrower road, it is within the Commission's purview to-do so. Commissioner Jeanes asked if the City is not accepting any more roads for maintenance, will an assessment district be created for the future maintenance of Traffic Way? Warren Frace stated that Traffic Way is currently maintained by the City as will continue to be. However, the San Anselmo extension to Traffic Way will be maintained by an assessment district or some other maintenance agreement. Commissioner Jeanes concurred with Chairman Carden with.the width of road as far as slowing down traffic but how does it affect the safety of the bike lane? Warren Frace responded that reduction of the width of the road will not allow striping of the bike lane. Chairman Carden interjected that his recommendation was narrowing Davis Way not Traffic Way. TESTIMONY: Jim Shores, 5420 Almande Lane, representing Mildred Shores, Eric and Judy, Tarr and Richard Davis, stated the following: • Traffic Way is 20 to 22 feet and will be widened to 40 ft to allow bike trail and walk paths. • Would like 3-way stop at San Anselmo. • Would like no parking posted on Traffic Way. • Would like to keep 34 and 36 inch trees on new San Anselmo by way of a median. • Would like to see open or barbed wire fencing. • Has had numerous calls inquiring about industrial space rent or sell. • Wants to give park to City as there is a need for parks (kids playing football in sunken gardens). • Would like to keep lots 3, 4, and 5 in the project - City Staff wants to keep it open space. • Talked with John Neil about Seperado. The project will not impact Seperado but will help improve the street. • People living on the new road will be taxed. If the road has to be built to City standards, the City should maintain it. Rush Kolmaine, P. O. Box 1990 lives in close proximity to the project and asked about the average price of the homes. Chairman Carden responded that there are no housing designs or price standards set on this project to date. 0003-32 Planning Commission Meeting— October 19, 1999 Page 8 of 15 Mr. Kolmaine expressed concern with the treatment of Traffic Way stating that it is the only Industrial arterial in Atascadero. The only way out on Traffic Way is through the business district. Mr. Kolmaine asked that the Planning Commission make a note that Traffic Way needs to be straightened and widened and could create a second parallel routing to keep trucks off El Camino Real Gaylene Tupen, Morro Group, Inc., 1422 Monterey Street, Suite C200, San Luis Obispo, referred.to the wetland area and described how the project provides for a setback area for reduction in impact to wildlife in that area and preserves natural resources. Chairman Carden asked Ms. Tupen if staff s recommended mitigation measures meets with her recommendations. She responded"yes". Commissioner Fonzi asked Ms. Tupen if the applicant mentioned he wanted to keep this area open and you want it preserved, or fenced. Ms. Tupen responded that it does not need to be fenced necessarily, that a variety of methods can used to preserve and area such as signs, a sidewalk configuration, etc. Mark Jensen, 8585 Alegre Avenue, stated that he has served two terms as Chairman of the Atascadero Parks and Recreation Commission. He visited the 6.42 acre site noting that it is desirable for a park. Conceptual designs have been made _for a Little League/Softball field, multipurpose soccer field, snack bar and restrooms as well as parking. Linda Wargo, 4860 Seperado Avenue, read from a prepared statement (Attachment A). Lou Coppo, 7050 Tecorida Avenue, President of Atascadero Little League, supports the project as there is little environmental impact and it is a positive project for Atascadero. John Bradley, 4475 San Jacinto Avenue, is a new resident from LA area. The reason his family chose Atascadero is because of the large lot sizes. This is one of the last areas between LA and SF that is affordable. He supports large lots and large open spaces. Peter Sotello, 4750 Seperado Avenue, stated there are drainage problems on Separado. Mr. Sotello also stated that residents on Arizona are on the sewer system (above Seperado) and now below Seperado, on the proposed project. Seperado Avenue is on septic systems. Commissioner Fonzi asked Mr. Sotello is there are septic problems on Seperado Avenue. He responded that there are problems. Joan O'Keefe, 9985,read from a prepared statement (Attachment B). Linda Buss, 8025 Carmelita, approves of the project due to fact that the project offers something of quality to the City (the park). Ms. Buss read letters from the Atascadero High School Softball Coach, and the Board of Director for Atascadero Girls Softball Association, supporting the proposed project(Attachments C and D). 000133 Planning Commission Meeting—October 19, 1999 Page 9 of 15 Sherri Pellett 4255 San Benito, stated that she was initially opposed to the proposal, but after talking to Mr. Shores, she supports the project. Gerald R. Johnson, 1909 Traffic Way, spoke in support of the project stating that Atascadero is in dire need of housing. Myrna Bradley, 4475 San Jacinto Avenue, expressed concerns, wanting to keep the area rural. Mrs. Bradley stated that her greatest concern is with Traffic Way in that you can't see around the corners. Commissioner Jeanes asked Chairman Carden for a 5-minute break. The meeting reconvened at 9:05 p.m. Andy Feytko, retired real estate appraiser, came to observe, and stated that he is very impressed with staff's presentation. He further expressed concerns with the people on Seperado trying to get their street repaired. Mr. Feytko stated that when they bought on Seperado, they knew the street was in disrepair and that is why the price of their homes are less. Mike Wasley, 3060 Traffic Way (also owns 3000 Traffic Way), supports the project. He also in spoke support of the Mackey proposal when it was before the Commission. Mr. Wasley stated he and the other property owners along Traffic Way (from the Davis property up to San Benito Road) asked that their properties be included in the zone change. Mr. Wasley stated that a letter dated June 8 from Mr. Saldana stated that they would be included in this project (the Davis property) and now because the Mackey project is "up in the air" they are not being included. Theresa Wasley, 3060 Traffic Way (also owns 3000 Traffic Way), referred to letter from the Planning Department assuring the property owners on Traffic Way from the Davis property to San Benito Road, that they would be included along with the Shores project. In subdividing their properties, they are not planning high rise buildings, apartments or condos, just residential single-family homes of high quality. Half acres lots provide for very spacious living areas. Mrs. Wasley further stated that Traffic Way will be more unsafe than at present if only a portion is improved (widened) and then it narrows in front of the properties between the Shores project and San Benito Road. Henry Skibo, 3650 Traffic Way, a 14-year resident owns two acres adjoining the project area. Mr. Skibo wants to subdivide his property and also referred to a letter from Planning stating that they would be included in the project. He further stated that if the seven property owners were included in the project, that they all would contribute to improving Traffic Way all the way to San Benito Road. Jason Sharp, 4550 Seperado, stated that property owners on Seperado were misrepresented by outsiders. The property owners on Seperado are not looking for a quick fix for the road. It needs to be maintained by the City. 0001:34 Planning Commission Meeting—October 19, 1999 Page 10 of 15 Mike Wasley, 3060 Traffic Way, spoke again discussing why those seven homeowners weren't included in this project. All were surprised that Mrs. Pellet changed her mind and supports the project. To include all of the properties all the way down to San Benito would increase safety. Jerry Johnson, 1909 Traffic Way, reiterated that he wants to divide his property in half. His main concern is traffic on Traffic Way. It is his opinion that Traffic Way should be improved all the way to San Benito Road. He reminded the Commission that four years ago a boy was killed on his way to school on Traffic Way at the dip. At the time of the accident, there was nothing in place to warn traffic of the dip, to slow down, etc. To this date, nothing has changed, as there is still no improvement to the road or any signage reference the hazard. Henry Skibo, 3650 Traffic Way, asked for clarification regarding why his property can't be included with the sewer. Mr. Skibo informed that San Benito School is on a septic system with leach fields running to the area where a new junior high school may be built. He also stated that he was told not to file for a General Plan Amendment, that he would be included in this project. Rush Kolmaine, PO Box 19909, observed that the majority of the neighborhood supports the project, but there are problems. Mr. Kolmaine asked the Commission to take the time to do the job right in the first place and look at Traffic Way all the way to Santa Cruz. Mr. Kolmaine expressed concern with traffic on Traffic Way. Seeing no other persons from the general public wishing to speak, Chairman Carden closed public comment. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commissioner Jeanes inquired regarding staff's response to the application process including neighboring properties. Paul Saldana, Community Development Director, responded by pointing out on page 63 of the agenda packet is a copy of the letter to Mr. Wasley stating that staff would expand the study area boundaries and consider the rezone of the neighborhood. That was for the purposes of study with no assurance or guarantee that the area would be recommended by staff for a zone change or general plan amendment nor would it become part of the official application that Mr. Shores has submitted. On page 54 of in the staff report it indicates that there is no plan or project that can supply sewer service to the area. The whole area may be addressed in the General Plan Update. Commissioner Jeanes expressed concern with a statement that was made that somebody would attempt to submit an application and would be told by staff, "no, don't do that." Paul Saldana responded that it was his understanding that there was an individual parcel map for a particular piece of property that was submitted and was turned down at the counter due to the particular zoning designation. Chairman Carden asked if there was any recourse for these individuals to challenge the moratorium based on their interpretation. Could they make a proposal to you, bring it to this 0001 Planning Commission Meeting—October 19, 1999 Page 11 of 15 Commission and then a recommendation be made to the Council that this was really part of the general plan process prior to the moratorium? Paul Saldana stated that there are a couple of options that the Commission could consider this evening; (1) make a further recommendation to the City Council that they allow for this area to submit an application for General Plan Amendment and either look at the entire study area or look at the individual properties and (2) a similar recommendation that the Commission made regarding the Junipero General Plan Amendment where the Commission recommended that the amendment not be approved but that it be incorporated into an overall General Plan Update. Commissioner Jeanes stated that the issues regarding improvement of Traffic Way (brought up by Rush Kolmaine) can be addressed in the overall General Plan Update. Regarding the issues with upgrading Seperado, a nexus must exist to justify requiring a developer to develop the entire street of Seperado or all the way down to San Benito on Traffic Way. Chairman Carden stated that in past, if developer gained access to his project via the road etc, then the developer would make improvements to half of the street; however other than the intersection at San Anselmo, no nexus exists with this project whereby the developer would be required to make such improvements to Seperado. Warren Frace stated that there is some need for some improvements on Seperado and this project will have some impacts. Those impacts are primarily located around the San Anselmo area, located closest to the portion of Seperado that is in the worst state of disrepair. There is also a need, as part of this map, to make sure that there is adequate easements along the entire street of Seperado so that future widenings of the street can be accommodated without having to request any additional property off of these lots that are proposed for development. Commissioner Jeanes stated that it is apparent that the applicant has gone to great lengths to make it a benefit to the community (open space and park). Commissioner Fonzi asked for clarification regarding improvements to Traffic Way -traffic will be widened in front of Shores project and narrows down by San Benito School. Warren Frace stated that the applicant will be responsible for improvements to Traffic Way - widening from 22/24 feet to 40 feet through the project property only — with an appropriate transition from the end of that property to the existing road. The applicant will not be responsible for improvements all the way to San Benito Road. Chairman Carden stated that SLOCOG has bikeway funding and asked if it will be applied to further the improvement of Traffic Way. Warren Frace stated that staff is in the process of applying for such funding. Commissioner Fonzi suggested asking Council to review independent applications. Commissioner Clark supports the project finds it somewhat refreshing to see a developer so generous with open space and sensitive to wetlands area. Commissioner Clark stated that he agrees with Commissioner Fonzi and would like to see the adjacent owners have the opportunity 000136 Planning Commission Meeting—October 19, 1999 Page 12 of 15 to submit for a general plan revision to include their properties in this study area and would like 40 to see a condition attached to this project reflecting such. Commissioner Bentz supports project and supports the effort of other property owners and recommend that the City Council give consideration to those properties. Commissioner Zimmerman stated that he is of the opinion that subdividing all the lots up to San Benito Road is probably one of the reason the moratorium was imposed. He further stated that although he is a little troubled by it, he would support this project as the applicant has made a good faith effort, but cannot support including the"other seven property owners". Commissioner Eddings stated that he supports the project as an exceptional infill project. Commissioner Fonzi agrees with Commissioner Zimmerman in that perhaps the Commission is overstepping bounds as the Council enacted moratorium and it is theirs to rescind. The action taken tonight should include only the project as submitted. Chairman Carden inquired about item #12 on page 90, asking if it would be an issue to add "unless it's requested by the City?" Warren Frace responded that staff is very concerned with a depth of fifty feet and less, the only type of industrial uses that would occur there would probably not be desirable in terms of how they would appear. Mr. Shores indicated to Mr. Frace that there is a lot of additional railroad right-of-way that likely may be leased. Chairman Carden asked if we are getting the required easements on Seperado even though we may not require an improvement? Warren Frace referred to Condition#52 and stated that staff is recommending that we get the westerly improvements and any additional easements, and condition#52 should be reworded to that effect. Chairman Carden stated that he agreed with the applicant that the narrowing of Davis Way to 26 foot as a traffic calming element as well as avoiding impact to the trees. Warren Frace stated that if the Commission were inclined to do that, condition #53 could be changed from "rural collector"to "hillside collector". Carden Carden asked if yard fences are required. Warren Frace responded that there are no yard fences required with this project. There is actually a requirement in the PD that any solid fence over six feet have a setback from property lines so fences don't follow property lines. Chairman Carden asked if the pump station on San Anselmo is eliminated? Warren Frace responded that the sewer system will be a gravity feed system. Commissioner Clark asked if lots 4 and 5 that face onto Traffic Way, feed back into San Anselmo? Warren Frace responded that staff is recommending elimination of lots 4 and 5. Planning Commission Meeting—October 19, 1999 Page 13 of 15 ACTION: Moved by Commissioner Jeanes and seconded by Commissioner Clark recommending that the City Council allow the other property owners to submit their general plan amendment application considering the timing of this and not be subject to the General Plan moratorium. Discussion: Commissioner Fonzi asked for clarification on whether this motion is or is not a condition of approval. Commissioner Jeanes responded no, that this is a separate motion, not a condition of approval. Commissioner Eddings asked if this is assuming that all the other property owners will also widen Traffic Way. Commissioner Jeanes stated that it is only assumed that they will submit an application and it will be discussed at that time. Commissioner Zimmerman asked where would it end? It could go all the way to Home Depot. Commissioner Clark responded that one could use the attachment as an example of the criteria that we are talking about.

Discussion: Commissioner Clark asked the City Engineer if narrowing of the road really helps slow down traffic. John Neil responded that it is generally true. The change 000139 Planning Commission Meeting—October 19, 1999 Page 15 of 15 recommended is changing from two 16 foot lanes (12 foot travel lane and 4 foot bike lane) to two 13 foot lanes. It is Mr. Neil's opinion that this change will not slow the cars that much. The bike lanes are being omitted.

Staff Recommends: The City Council direct staff to incorporate the neighborhood's petition into the General Plan Update process and not allow an application for General Plan Amendment to be filed. DISCUSSION: Back rg ound: On April 25, 1999, property owners along the west side of Traffic Way (Vicinity Map Attachment "A") submitted a petition to the City requesting that their property be subdivided to half (1/2) acre lots as part of the "Mackey" General Plan Amendment (Attachment "B"). Staff met with a representative of the property owners on June 7 and indicated that the request would not be included with the Mackey proposal because the Mackey request was for a planned development to allow single family residences on 5,200 square foot lots. Staff also indicated that another general plan amendment request (Davis Property) was being processed on property to the south and was requesting zoning that would be similar in nature to that of the property owner's request. Staff stated that an expansion of the boundaries of the Davis Property General Plan Amendment would be considered during the review of the Davis Property Project. On June 8, 1999 a letter was sent to the representative of the property owners (Attachment "C") confirming the discussion at the meeting. On July 29, staff received a petition from other property owners in the area, including property owners in the "expanded study area", that were opposed to the subdivision of property in this area (Attachment "D") 000203 ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 11/09/99 From July through October of 1999, the applicant for the Davis Property submitted additional information that was utilized during the environmental review as well as several amendments to the map request. Staff determined that the Davis Property request had unique features and benefits that were unique to a typical subdivision request. Likewise, the "expanded study area" did not offer the types of features and benefits that the Davis Property offered (parkland, open space, and infrastructure improvements). The provision of sewer service to the expanded study area is dependent on a force main sewer system that does not presently exist within the area. It was originally thought that the Mackey project would provide the necessary sewer improvements to serve the area. Therefore, staff concluded that the expanded study area would not be included in the analysis or recommendation to the Planning Commission for the Davis Property. On October 19, 1999, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the Davis Property and heard requests from the adjacent property owners to be included in the Davis Property application. The Commission voted (6-1) to recommend to the City Council that the property owners be allowed to submit an independent general plan amendment request but not be attached to the Davis Property request, as recommended by staff. Analysis: The recommendation from the Planning Commission would allow for the property owners to submit a formal General Plan Amendment application for consideration by the City. Since the original petition was submitted in April of 1999, the Commission felt that their request, although not a formal application, was submitted before the moratorium placed by the City Council. The application would have to go through the entire amendment process and the applicants would be required to submit all applicable information required for processing of the application and pay all pertinent fees and costs. Staff is concerned that the Planning Commission's recommendation is inconsistent with the intent of the General Plan Moratorium and may be counter productive to the update effort. Since the issue of sewer service remains unresolved for this study area, staff considers any density changes premature until a feasible plan for services is developed for the area. Staff's opinion is that this area should be reviewed as part of the overall General Plan update process that will address sewer service issues on a Citywide basis, rather than as a separate application. Although the information currently available is insufficient to complete an amendment application, the request could generally be reviewed within the scope of the current General Plan Update project. FISCAL IMPACT: None 000204 ITEM NUMBER: C- 1 DATE: 11/09/99 ALTERNATIVES: 1. The Council may decide not to authorize the acceptance of the application. The property owners would have to wait for the next general plan amendment cycle. 2. (Staff's Recommendation) The Council could direct staff to study the area as part of the general plan update process if the area meets the criteria for inclusion in the update process.

As discussed in the meeting this project involves a request for a Planned Development to allow single-family residences on lots with a minimum size of approximately 5,200 square feet. Due to the small size of the proposed lots, inclusion of the neighborhood across Traffic Way in the rezone request would be inconsistent with the project application. As we discussed in the meeting, the appropriate process to consider the rezone of your neighborhood to allow smaller lots would be in conjunction with GPA 98002 ("Davis Property"). Staff is currently working with the applicant to finalize the project description on the project and no hearing dates have yet been set for the project. The current project request is to rezone the Davis Property to RSF-Y (Residential Single Family). The RSF-Y district would allow minimum parcel sizes of-one (1) acre with sewer and one and one-half(1%) acres without sewer. Staff has determined that the boundaries for this project study area will be expanded to the north up to San Benito Road (refer to the attached map for boundaries). The City Council makes the final decision on the granting any zone change with consideration of the Planning Commission's recommendation. It is staff's role to present these decision-makers with accurate information and analysis of the proposed project. Please contact me at 461-5035 if I can be of assistance or if you have questions regarding this letter.

Rd.,and Chico Rd.'and adjacent to this area are strongly opposed to any project that would result in smaller parcels in our neighborhood.. Any reduction in lot size would conflict with the general land use plan of our city which states that we shall protect and preserve the rural atmosphere of the community by assuring " elbow room" for the residents by means of maintenance of large lot sizes which increase in proportion to distance beyond the urban core. We like this area and our neighbors and will strongly resist any attempt to subdivide it into smaller lots.

However, a couple of projects, most importantly the State Hospital annexation, require action before the November 30 Joint Meeting. Therefore, we will have a November 23`d Council meeting. If Council Members have made Thanksgiving plans that would make them unavailable for the meeting, a Special Meeting could be set prior to November 23`d B. Employee Update Sean Ranney Intern II Hired 10/27/99 0U0w13 ITEM NUMBER: D- 1 ' DATE: 11/09/99 1918 1979 Atascadero City Council City Attorney Report City Manger's Evaluation RECOMMENDATION: There is no recommended action from the City Attorney. This report is for informational purposes only, and the City Council is free to follow its own counsel on this issue. DISCUSSION: Background: The City Council has recently conducted its evaluation of the City Manager in closed session. The closed session evaluation is permissible under the Brown Act. The Council, in open session at the October 26, 1999 City Council meeting passed by 4-1 vote a motion to award a bonus to the City Manager. A bonus is a permissible payment and part of the contract of employment with the City Manager. After the closed session the City Council decided to revisit the decision. Since most of the public had departed, the City Council directed the City Attorney to bring this issue back at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting for further discussion in open session. The Atascadero Municipal Code allows the motion to be reconsidered at the same meeting or at the next succeeding meeting. It is proper to reconsider the action taken at this meeting. Issues: The City Council is free to award a bonus, to give a pay raise, or to rescind the prior action and not grant a bonus or a pay raise. The issue is completely up to the City Council. The City Attorney recommended that the issue be brought forward so staff can receive clarification on whether or not to treat any increase that the City Council decides upon as a one time bonus, paid in one lump sum now, or as a pay raise paid bi weekly as part of a new regular pay. FISCAL IMPACT: Precisely the amount, if any, of any raise or bonus approved, together with the marginally increased employer contributions required by law. The employer contributions are the same in either a bonus or a pay raise. 000ti-i-,
