AT 4905 TRAFFIC WAY, UNITS A, B AND C (APN 028-082-013)
(Pascal)
WHEREAS, an application has been received from Steven Pascal (Applicant/ Owner), PO
Box 1173, Morro Bay, CA 93443 to consider Tentative Parcel Map AT 20-0055 to allow the three
airspace condominium units on one lot at 4905 Traffic Way, units A, B and C (028-082-013); and
WHEREAS, the site has a General Plan Designation of Industrial (IND); and
WHEREAS, the site is in the Industrial (1) zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the laws and regulations relating to the preparation and public notice of
environmental documents, as set forth in the state and local guidelines for implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been adhered to; and
WHEREAS, a timely and properly noticed Public Hearing upon the subject Tentative
Parcel Map application was held by the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero, at which
hearing evidence, oral and documentary, was admitted on behalf of said Tentative Parcel Map;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero, at a duly noticed Public
Hearing held on February 16, 2021, studied and considered Tentative Parcel Map AT 20-0055.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero takes the
following actions:
SECTION 1. Findings for approval of Tentative Parcel Map AT 20-0055. The
Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement,
is consistent with the General Plan (Government Code § § 66474(a) and (b)), and
Fact: The Industrial zone was established for a range of uses, from intensive individual
operations such as auto body shops, contractor staging areas, outdoor storage facilities,
and manufacturing plants, to lower intensity businesses. General Circulation Element
Policy 1.5 aims to maintain adequate and well-designed off-street parking. This project
would be defining an existing parking lot and adding additional landscaping in the
Industrial zone. General Plan Land Use, Open Space and Conservation Policy 14.2
encourages attracting new land uses that provide jobs and services for residents. By
creating commercial condominiums, new businesses may be more inclined to invest in
their spot in the city and provide services long term.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development (Government Code§
66474(c)),and,
Fact: The site is flat and minor physical changes are required.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development (Government
Code § 66474(d)),and,
Fact: The three spaces are existing. The tentative parcel map does not affect the
density.
4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their
habitat. (Government Code § 66474(e)), and
Fact: Completion of the parking lot may require minor grading and repaving. The site
is surrounded by developed industrial and residential lots as well as the railroad. The
improvements will not cause substantial damage to the environment.
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious health
problems. (Government Code § 66474(f)), and
Fact: The improvements are minor and will not cause health problems.
6. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or
use of property within the proposed subdivision. (Government Code § 66474(g)).
Fact: The building exists and no new structures are proposed.
Findings for approval of a landscape exception. The Planning Commission finds as follows:
7. Existing vegetation topography or structural arrangement preclude the need for
landscaping.
Fact: The site is developed with an existing building in the center of it. Half of the site
is screened from Traffic Way by fencing. The only area to landscape is within the
parking lot and the applicant has maximized this landscaping.

session assembled on February 16, 2021, resolves to approve Tentative Parcel Map AT 20-0055
