ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The City of Atascadero’s environmental review process incorporates the requirements in implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.

Exemption Class ____1_______ CEQA Guidelines § 15301 ☐ No Project - § 15268 Ministerial Project 4 ITEM 2 6040 El Camino Real Exterior Shade Structure PRE22-0052 / Wemple Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero DISCUSSION: Project Description / Summary The subject property is located at the corner of El Camino Real and Traffic Way and is zoned as Downtown Commercial (DC). Due to a concern of increase in heat, the applicant wishes to build a 338-square foot shade structure in the outdoor seating area of Colony Market. The shade structure is proposed to be 8 feet in height. Electrical service will be provided to the shade structure from the primary building through an underground connection. Concrete footing will be included at the bottom of the p osts to anchor the structure in place. There will be a smooth transition from the decomposed granite surface to be ADA compliant. The structure will be set back 4-feet from the right-of-way. Downtown Commercial District The DC zoning district is “intended to enhance the economic viability and pedestrian - oriented character of the downtown by encouraging a wide range of retail shops, including artisan craft sales and production; restaurants, entertainment facilities, lodging, and nonautomotive services” (AMC 9-3.320(g)). The inclusion of a shade structure in a highly trafficked area will be beneficial to the economic viability and pedestrian-oriented character of downtown Atascadero. The pergola will provide additional comfort in an outdoor seating area and may attract potential customers. Shade is incredibly important, especially during hot summer months, and the implementation of a shade structure in a downtown restaurant will invite customers to stay downtown longer since they will be able to be comfortable outdoors. Design The proposed three hundred and thirty-eight (338) square-foot shade structure will be from the brand Linx Pergola. There will be six square posts made of Douglas Fir holding up the 13’x26’ structure. The roof will be comprised of two 12’x12’ shade cloths that are tethered to the structure, which will remain taut and limit flapping in the wind. Example Shade Structure The following shade structure is from downtown S an Luis Obispo. The design is very similar to the one proposed for this project. 5 ITEM 2 6040 El Camino Real Exterior Shade Structure PRE22-0052 / Wemple Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero DRC DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1.
