DEVELOPMENT PROJECT REVIEW
2. REVIEW OF REGIONAL ADU (ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT) STOCK PLANS
In conjunction with the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Morro Bay, and Grover Beach, the
City of Atascadero will be presenting preliminary designs for, and soliciting input
on, pre -approved ADU stock plans for use by residents of the listed communities.
Recommendation: Staff requests the DRC review the proposed design concept
(C P P20-0026).
Deputy Director Cappel gave an introduction on the project. Ryan Brockett from Brockett
Architecture (in conjunction with Workbench) shared a presentation on the project.*
Members of the team who also shared in the presentation were Omar Hason, Alexandra
Sklar, and Jamileh Cannon. The goal is to have plans ready in mid -2022.
Director Dunsmore stated that this item will not move forward to Planning Commission,
but we may give an update to the City Council after other cities weigh in. (There is no real
approval process other than the construction process.) Customers will have the option
to design their own unit; as this is simply an option to help streamline the process if a
customer wants to use these. Information packages will be available for applicants.
Staff answered questions from Committee members.
PUBLIC COMMENT

given).
Staff answered questions raised during public comment.

The Committee agreed on the following recommendations:
• Flexibility in these options i.e. size of window opening so that doors can be added
and options for shower to provide age in place options.
• Provide pre -designed reviewed/approved awning styles that will allow for shading
depending on site placement or orientation.
• Consider different variety in shapes to accommodate different lot configurations
and placement challenges.
• Explore storage areas/loft space.
• Options for using plans beyond ADUs (i.e. for multi -family or SB9 units).
• Encourage outdoor space in the designs.
• Could plans include options for visual screening of the kitchen from the front door,
a planter, or some other option such as alternative door placement to avoid or
interrupt that particular sight line.
• Offer reverse versions (the homeowner would have to provide a site plan, and the
customer will have to show if they want it flipped).
The Committee agreed with the staff report, and recommended that the project move
forward, based on comments received.
Vice Chairperson Funk left the meeting at 2:25 p.m.
3. DESIGN AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY REVIEW OF A NEW MULTI-
FAMILY BUILDING AT 2505 EL CAMINO REAL
The proposed project includes a new 2 -story, 10 -unit multi -family building behind
an existing single-family residence for a total of 11 units. The project includes new
landscaping and a total of 11 on-site parking spaces.
Recommendation: Staff requests the DRC review the proposed design concept
and direct the applicant to make any modifications to the site or building design as
necessary (PRE21-0080).
Planner Gasch presented the staff report and she and Planner Gleason answered
questions from the Committee. Thom Jess from Arris Studio Design Architects gave a
presentation on the project (Exhibit A).

Multi -Family Standards/ Architecture and Design
• The Committee agreed with the design as presented.
• If the applicant chooses to add grids, they must be integral (not plant on).
Otherwise, no grids should be added.
Fencing
• The Committee agreed with internal fence being removed, so the existing
residence can have more yard.
Landscapinq Requirements and Standards
The Committee recommended reducing landscaping to increase space allowed for
parking, non-native trees can be reduced/removed. Staff will work with applicant
to ensure there is compatibility with neighbors.
Trash Enclosure
• The Committee agreed the location makes sense, but staff and the applicant
should make sure that Atascadero Waste Alternatives has provided input on the
location.
The Committee agreed with the staff report, and recommended that the applicant move
forward to the Building permit phase. This item will not be forwarded to Planning
Commission.
