NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of

SECTION 1. Recitals: The above recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Public Hearing. The City Council of the City of Atascadero, in a special
session assembled on June 9, 2021, resolved to reverse the Planning Commission's action to
approve a conditional use permit for a mini -storage facility.
SECTION 3. Findings. The City Council makes the following findings and
determinations with respect to the Conditional Use Permit:
A. Findings for Denial of a Conditional Use Permit
FINDING: The proposed project or use will be inconsistent with the character of the
immediate neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development.
FACT: The proposed mini -storage use is surrounded primarily by residential,
parkland, child-care facilities, churches, and a seasonal creek. A mini -storage project
and use is incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood and is a departure from
the established land use pattern. It is also contrary to the orderly development of the
immediate neighborhood
SECTION 4. CEQA. An initial study was prepared for the proposed project at which
time mitigation measures were identified to reduce the impacts to a less than significant level. A
Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted for public review in accordance with CEQA
and was certified by Planning Commission at a Public Hearing held on May 4, 2021.
SECTION S. Denial. The City Council of the City of Atascadero, in a special session
assembled on June 9, 2021, resolved to reverse the Planning Commission's action and deny a
Conditional Use Permit for a mini -storage facility.
