ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION ☐ Environmental Impact Report SCH: ___________________________ ☒ Negative / Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2021-0002 ☐ Categorical Exemption CEQA – Guidelines Section 15315 ☐ Statutory Exemption §§ 21000, et seq & ________________________ ☐ No Project – Ministerial Project 5 ITEM 2 | 10/05/21 6255 Llano Rd SBDV 20-0025 / Bergquist Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero DISCUSSION: Existing Surrounding Uses / Parcel Configurations: Existing Zoning Existing Aerial / Surrounding North: South: East: West: Residential Suburban Residential Suburban Residential Suburban Residential Suburban Background: The property is an approximately 48-acre lot on the northeast side of Llano Rd. The site is in a Residential Suburban Zoning District. A steep northeast/southwest slope is densely covered by oak and brush. The site is currently undeveloped, but is in close proximity to a number of single-family residences along Llano Road. Summary: The applicant proposes subdividing a 48-acre lot in the Residential Suburban zoning district. The project would subdivide the lot into four parcels, with 3 parcels at 10 acres in size and one at 18 acres. Due to average slopes on all parcels being above 30%, building envelopes have been established with average slopes of 20% or less , per the provisions of the Atascadero General Plan . Any new development would have to occur within these envelopes. No development is proposed at this time. 6 ITEM 2 | 10/05/21 6255 Llano Rd SBDV 20-0025 / Bergquist Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero Analysis: The City Zoning Regulations establish a minimum lot size in the RS zoning to a net area between 2.5 and 10 acres, based on the following performance standards listed in Atascadero Municipal Code 9-3.242: 1. Distance from the Center of the Community 2. Septic Suitability 3. Average Slope 4. Access Condition 5. Neighborhood Character (average lot size within 1,500 feet). The applicant is proposing lot sizes at or above the 10 -acre minimum and therefore, no further analysis needs to be prepared to demonstrate that the parcel map complies with the minimum lot size standards. The General Plan also requires that subdivisions with parcels over 30% slope designate building envelopes with 20% slope or less (General Plan Policy 5.2). Building envelopes that meet the General Plan criteria have been identified on each proposed parcel as the average slope of the existing parcel is 32.4% and all proposed parcels have average slopes in excess of 30%. Each new parcel will have frontage along Llano Road and all identified building envelopes are adjacent to the public street, allowing for minimal site disturbance for driveway access to future development. Areas of the site outside of the building envelopes are heavily vegetated and sloped. The conditions of approval require that the building envelopes be recorded on the parcel map. No development will be permitted to occur outside of the designated building envelopes without further public and environmental review. A condition has been added to record a no -build open space easement over the remaining portion of the site to ensure that the vegetated sloped areas are protected in perpetuity. During the public review period, it was noted that a drainage swale runs through the designated building envelope on proposed parcel 4. A condition has been added to omit this swale from the building envelope, and a 30-foot minimum setback from the Proposed Building Envelopes 1 2 3 4 7 ITEM 2 | 10/05/21 6255 Llano Rd SBDV 20-0025 / Bergquist Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero swale to the building envelope is included in the conditions to ensure that neighborhood drainage patterns are maintained to the greatest extent feasible with future development of the site. Future development of each parcel will be required to meet all City cod es, including building code requirements, stormwater, and site development standards. Conclusion Tentative Parcel Map AT 20-0019 would divide one residential parcel into four residential parcels in the Residential Suburban zoning district. The project complies with regulations in the Atascadero Zoning Regulations (Title 9) and the Atascadero Subdivision Ordinance (Title 11) as described above and illustrated in the map submitted, subject to findings and conditions. There is no additional development proposed on the property at this time but building envelopes have been identified to accommodate future residential development while minimizing site impacts. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: A Negative Declaration and Initial Study was prepared for the project and circulated for public review. The Initial Study identified no significant impacts from this project that would require mitigation as current codes mitigate impacts from the development of new single-family residences. FINDINGS: To approve Tentative Parcel Map AT 20-0019, the Planning Commission must make the following findings. These findings and the facts to support these findings are included in the attached resolution. 1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan and the proposed Specific Plan (Government Code§§ 66473.5 and 66474(a) and (b)): 2.

Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct. SECTION 2. Public Hearing. The Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero, at a duly noticed Public Hearing held on October 5, 2021, studied and considered the proposed project. SECTION 3. Findings for approval of Tentative Parcel Map AT 20-0019. 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)). Fact: The General Plan designation for the site is Rural Estate with minimum lot size between 2.5 and 10 gross acres for properties in the Residential Suburban (RS) zoning district. The subject site has a minimum lot size of 4.436 gross acres. The lots created will be 18-acres and 10 acres (gross), respectively. They will also have a General Plan designation of RE. The proposed subdivision follows General Plan program LOC 5.2.5 “New lots with slope averaging 30% or greater are not permitted except when they contain building envelopes with less than 20% average slope (including driveways and leach fields), and when the creation of such parcels includes an offer of public dedication or easement that would directly benefit City residents, and where native tree impacts are minimal”. Although development has not yet been planned, this subdivision has identified building envelopes for each of the new parcels that have slopes less than 30% and are less vegetated. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development (Government Code§ 66474(c)). Fact: the proposed building envelopes have slopes of <20% percent allowing for future development of the site in compliance with uses permitted under the Residential Suburban zoning district. 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development (Government Code § 66474(d)). Fact: The proposed lots are 18-acres and 10-acres in size. No development is currently proposed, however, future development will be limited to building envelopes identified on the map which have slopes less than 20% and which minimize grading and vegetation impacts. 4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. (Government Code § 66474(e)), and 11 ITEM 2 | 10/05/21 6255 Llano Rd SBDV 20-0025 / Bergquist Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero Fact: The applicant proposes subdividing one 48-acre lot into four parcels; there is no development planned at this time. Identified building envelopes have been identified to minimize impacts on existing vegetation heavily sloped areas of each site if development were to occur. 5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious health problems. (Government Code § 66474(f)), and Fact: No new construction is proposed. The subdivision is proposed in an area that is currently developed with single-family homes. The proposed lot sizes meet the standards of the Atascadero Municipal Code. 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)), and Fact: Llano Rd will remain unchanged. No private access easements exist on-site. SECTION 4 CEQA. A draft Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with CEQA and circulated for public review.
