Background
The 10850 El Camino Real project was originally submitted and approved in 2017
establishing a Planned Development Overlay Zone (#34) on the site. The original
Tentative Tract Map expired in 2019. The applicant applied to revive the original Tract
Map in 2020. However, in 2022, the applicant revised their map to include 43
condominiums units. This alteration to the map necessitates a new Tentative Tract Map.
The project was presented at the February 7, 2023 Planning Commission meeting where
the Commission and interested members of the public reviewed the project, provided
comment and asked questions. The Planning Commission voted to continue the item to
the February 21st meeting and asked staff to remove all conditions that are not related to
the approval of this map. Staff has attached the revised resolution as Attachment 1.
Summary
The development at 10850 El Camino Real (formerly known as “Hartberg”) was approved
by the Planning Commission in 2017. The zoning of the approved project is residential
multi-family (RMF), which permits between 20 to 24 units per acre. The minimum lot size
in the RMF zone is ½ acre. To achieve the desired unit mix, allow for smaller lot sizes,
and specific development standards, the applicant requested a planned development
overlay zone be applied to the property.

ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 2/21/2023
Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
The Planned Development Overlay allows for flexibility in density, setbacks, lot sizes,
and other creative arrangements in exchange for high quality architectural design, high
quality landscaping, affordable housing, and open space. The proposed density for the
project is 20 units per acre, consistent with the RMF -24 zoning district. The approved
project includes a new local street that intersects El Camino Real to provide access to
all residential units.
The project approved in 2017 consisted of a total of 75-unit residential units that
included:
• 48 apartments at a total of 3-stories in height;
• 20 attached townhomes, 2-stories in height;
• 7 single-family residential cottages;
• On-site parking is to be provided;
• Landscaping, and on-site amenities including BBQ area, patio and gardens
The project area is approximately 3.79 acres with a gentle slope of 6%. Construction of
the units is ongoing.
The project was originally approved with 48 senior apartments. The project description
has changed from 48 proposed apartments to 43 condominium units. The development
is no longer proposed to be required to senior housing. Therefore, the floor plan was
modified to meet the density required by the City’s Municipal Code.
The previous staff report from February 7th is attached as Attachment 3.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The City of Atascadero prepared an Initial Study to determine if the proposed proj ect
would have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The Initial Study found that
although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been
made or agreed to by the project proponent. Consequently, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared for the Project. (See Attachment 2.) Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. 2017-0009 was adopted by the City Council on August 8th,
2017.
FINDINGS:
To recommend approval of the proposed project, findings are required to be made by the
Planning Commission. The City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance identify the specific
findings that must be made to approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map TR 3187. All findings
and the facts to support these findings are included in the Draft Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning Commission may include modifications to the project and/or
conditions of approval for the project. Any proposed modifications inclu ding
9
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 2/21/2023
Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
conditions of approval, should be clearly re-stated in any vote on any of the
attached resolutions.
2. The Planning Commission may determine that more information is needed on
some aspect of the project and may refer the item back to the applicant and staff
to develop the additional information. The Commission should clearly state the
type of information that is required. A motion, and approval of that motion, is
required to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Planning Commission may deny the project. The Commission must specify
what findings cannot be made, and provide a brief oral statement, based on the
Staff Report, oral testimony, site visit, correspondence, or any other rationale
introduced and deliberated by the Planning Commission.
