Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area
(DPBIA) Assessment
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution, declaring intent to levy the annual Downtown Parking and
Business Improvement Area assessment, and set a public hearing for June 13, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Atascadero established a Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area
in 1986 (Chapter 11 of the Atascadero Municipal Code) for the purpose of acquisition,
construction or maintenance of parking facilities, decoration of public places, promotion
of public events, and general promotion of business activities in the downtown area. The
formation and operation of a Parking and Business Improvement Area is governed by the
California Streets and Highways Code (Section 36500 et. Seq.). The assessment was
reduced to $0.00 in 2010 at the behest of downtown landlords and as part of a program
to encourage downtown businesses.
In January 2018, staff was approached by an informal committee of downtown business
owners, who expressed interest in reinstituting the full levy of the assessment for the
Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area (DPBIA). This committee spent
months conducting outreach regarding the DPBIA including holding town hall meetings,
sending letters and emails, and personally meeting with businesses subject to the DPBIA
in order to garner support to request the Council reinstitute the full assessment. The
Council reinstituted the assessment in June 2018 following a show of support from
downtown business owners.
The Streets and Highways Code requires that the “advisory board” provide a report to the
City Council annually for the expenditure of funds derived from the assessment paid by
businesses in the downtown area. In order to ensure adoption of the assessment prior to
the beginning of the Fiscal Year, the report and Resolution of Intention are submitted as
a part of this agenda item. A hearing would then be conducted at the next regular City
Council meeting scheduled for June 13, 2023.
The Chamber of Commerce serves as the advisory body and the subcontractor to the
City regarding the DPBIA. The informal committee of downtown business owners advises
the Chamber of Commerce on expenditures and assists in the creation of the annual
Page 21 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 05/23/23
budget. The Chamber of Commerce has submitted a report identifying the proposed
improvements and activities for the area, based upon the National Main Street Program's
four-point approach. The report does not propose any changes to the boundaries of the
DPBIA or of the assessment.
The Chamber of Commerce is proposing expenditures for 2023-2024 with the Downtown
Parking and Business Improvement Area funds as follows:
2022-2023

The proposed expenditures will focus to a combination of events and beautification ideas
to help promote the downtown and strengthen the businesses in the area. In 2022/2023
the downtown business owners organized Trick-Or-Treat on Entrada, Santa Photo Stop,
#ATownWithHeart, and At Her Table events. In 2023/2024 the Chamber will be working
with downtown business owners to use beautification funds to install string lighting over
Entrada Avenue.
An annual Draft Resolution of Intention, declaring the City’s intent to levy an annual
Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area assessment and holding a public
hearing, is required by the California Streets and Highways Code for the City to levy and
collect the assessments. Consistent with State law, the City Council is required to adopt
a Draft Resolution of Intention and set a public hearing to receive public comment prior
to the assessment being collected.
Staff is proposing that the hearing be conducted at the next regular City Council meeting
scheduled for June 13, 2023.

Atascadero Chamber of Commerce
Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area
Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2023-2024
The California Streets and Highways Code Section 36533 requires the preparation of a
report for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay
the costs of improvements and activities of the Improvement Area. The report may
propose changes, including, but not limited to the boundaries of the parking and business
improvement area or any benefit zones within the area, the basis and method of levying
the assessments, and any changes in the classification of businesses.
No boundary changes are proposed for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The boundaries are more
specifically described as follows:
From the south corner of Morro Road at the Highway 101 over-crossing
then in the generally northwest direction immediately adjacent to Highway
101, to a point at the intersection of El Camino Real and Rosario Avenue,
then easterly along Rosario Avenue, to a point at the intersection of
Rosario and Palma Avenue, then easterly along Palma Avenue to the rear
lot line of parcels on the east side of Traffic Way, then north along said
rear lot lines to include Lot 24 of Block LA, of Atascadero, then northerly
along the center line of Traffic Way, to a point, then easterly to include the
presently existing National Guard Armory Property. Then to a point
easterly to the intersection of West Mall and Santa Ysabel Avenue at the
West Mall bridge, then southerly along Santa Ysabel Avenue to a point at
the intersection of the southerly leg of Hospital Drive and Santa Ysabel
Avenue, then easterly from that point to the extension of proposed
Highway 41, then southwesterly to the Morro Road/Highway 101 over-
crossing, point of beginning.
Since 2000, the City, Community Redevelopment Agency, Chamber of Commerce, other
organizations, and the community have worked to strengthen the downtown business
community and implement the downtown revitalization strategy. In 2009, as the economic
downturn was affecting businesses, the City Council made the decision to levy a $0
assessment on the businesses in the District. The State of California dissolved all
redevelopment agencies in 2011 and the City, Chamber of Commerce, and other
organizations have worked in collaboration to continue the efforts of the Community
Redevelopment Agency to provide better services to and strengthen the businesses in
the downtown.
In 2017, an informal committee of downtown business owners formed to promote
economic vitality and encourage business growth in the downtown. This committee will
advise the Chamber of Commerce on expenditures and will assist in the creation of the
annual budget for the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area (DPBIA). The
Atascadero Chamber of Commerce will serve as the advisory body and the subcontractor

2. Adopt Draft Resolution, declaring intent to levy an annual Business Improvement
District assessment on lodging businesses within the Atascadero Tourism Business
Improvement District, and set a public hearing for June 13, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Atascadero established the Atascadero Tourism Business Improvement
District (ATBID) to levy annual assessments under the Parking and Business
Improvement Area Law of 1989, by adopting Title 3, Chapter 16 of the Atascadero
Municipal Code in April 2013. The activities to be funded by the assessments, on lodging
businesses within the ATBID, are tourism promotions and marketing programs to promote
the City as a tourism destination. The formation and operation of a Tourism Business
Improvement District is governed by the California Streets and Highways Code (Section
36500 et. Seq.). The budget for the ATBID is submitted in conjunction with the City’s
annual budget.
The City Council appointed ATBID Advisory Board Members to serve at the pleasure of
the Council. The Advisory Board is made up of lodging business owners or employees,
or other representatives holding the written consent of a lodging business owner within
the ATBID area.
The Streets and Highways Code requires that the Advisory Board provide a specific report
to the City Council annually for the expenditure of funds derived from the assessment
paid by lodging businesses within the City. The annual report must identify: (1) proposed
activities, programs and projects for the fiscal year; (2) the approximate cost of such
activities, programs and projects for the fiscal year; (3) the amount of surplus or deficit
revenues carried over from a previous fiscal year; and (4) contributions received other
than assessments. The annual report must meet the requirements of the California
Streets and Highways Code §36533. The City Council may approve the report as filed
or may modify any particular contained in the report and approve it as modified.

Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
Atascadero Tourism Business Improvement District (ATBID) Board
Appointment of Two Board Members for New Term
RECOMMENDATION:
Council appoint Corina Ketchum and Tom O’Malley to the ATBID Advisory Board for the
term expiring June 30, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
In 2013, the lodging businesses in Atascadero requested the Council establish a Tourism
Business Improvement District in order to levy annual assessments that would fund
tourism promotions and marketing programs to promote the City as a tourism destination.
The City Council established the ATBID, appointed Board Members, and levied
assessments beginning June 1, 2013.
When the initial Advisory Board was appointed, it was comprised of three members
serving three-year terms and two members serving two-year terms. In 2015, the Municipal
Code was changed to clarify that, after the initial formation, all subsequent Board
Members will serve two-year staggered terms. The terms of the Board Member positions
currently held by Corina Ketchum and Tom O’Malley are set to expire on June 30, 2023.
Once Board Member terms are close to expiring, the ATBID’s Rules and Procedures lay
out the nomination process that must be followed. Before the expiration of terms, a letter
is mailed out to each Lodging Business notifying them of a meeting for the purpose of
making nominations for the Board seats that are scheduled to be vacant in July. At this
meeting, lodging business owners are nominated, and a written ballot election determines
the nominees to be recommended to the City Council. The results of the nomination
meeting are then forwarded to the City Clerk to be placed on the Council’s agenda as a
recommendation for filling the Board vacancies.
The Atascadero Municipal Code § 3-16.07 (b) states that membership on the ATBID
Board is limited to Lodging Business owners or employees or other representatives
holding the written consent of a Lodging Business owner within the ATBID area, who has
fully paid its assessment at the time of the appointment, and remain fully paid during the
term of the membership on the Board.

Ketchum and Tom O’Malley were selected by the lodging owners present at the

Facilities District 2005-1 (Public Services) as Annexation No. 25, and to authorize the levy
of special taxes therein (Marketplace).
DISCUSSION:
The Marketplace project is part of the Del Rio Road Specific Plan, located at the North-
East corner of Del Rio Road and El Camino Real. The project was approved in 2022 and
included a Tentative Parcel Map, AT22-0011. The project is currently commencing
construction and will include retail, office and residential occupancies. The applicant, MP
Annex, LLC, is required to annex into the City’s Community Facilities District (CFD) as a
condition to finalize their subdivision map and fulfill the conditions of approval. To satisfy
this requirement, the applicant has petitioned the City to annex into the CFD.
In July 2004, as a key part of the adoption of the City’s Comprehensive Financial Strategy,
the Council addressed the need to recover all costs associated with new residential
development by directing the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD). California
law allows the formation of such districts for the purpose of recovering the cost of providing
public safety services, including police and fire services, and park services for new
developments. CFDs ensure that new homeowners pay special taxes in order to sustain
the service capability for emergency and non-emergency services to new growth in the
City. Without such special taxes in place, most new residential units have a substantial
negative impact on the General Fund.
The Citywide CFD was established in 2005 consistent with this policy and a number of
projects have been annexed into the CFD as a requirement prior to recordation of a final
map and/or issuance of construction permits. With the resolution of intention, the City and
the applicants are initiating the process of annexing the Marketplace project into the City’s
existing CFD. The CFD will be active on the site once the annexation is complete but,
based on the Rate and Method of Apportionment that established the methodology for
annual levies, annual taxes are expected to be levied on the residential properties/units
as commercial development is generally fiscally neutral or positive.

The Marketplace project includes a 32,400 square-foot grocery anchor tenant with 31,700
square-feet of ancillary retail/commercial uses, 18,600 square-feet of light-industrial
space, and 31,500 square-feet of ground floor office space with options for second and
third floor office or residential uses. Should the upper floors of the office buildings develop
as residential, there could be up to an estimated 92 units. However, at this time, the owner
does not have tenants and the development may accommodate either residential uses or
commercial uses.
Master Plan of Development
The attached resolution establishes the date for the public hearing to complete the
annexation. The date has been set for June 27, 2023. There are no registered voters in
the area being annexed so the election will be a landowner vote. Following completion of
the annexation, staff anticipates levying taxes on the parcels on which development has
actually begun in the 2024-2025 tax year.
The mixed-use project was conditioned to be fiscally neutral through annexation into the
existing Citywide CFD. Annexation into CFD 2005-1 will satisfy the project’s conditions
of approval and allow for the annexation vote to occur. The project approval allows up to
92 residential units as part of the mixed-use portion of the project. The CFD annual levy
is currently $779.10 per residential unit for the 2022-2023 tax year, and adjusts each year
for inflation.

Council may refer the item back to staff for additional review and analysis.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Assessments for this annexation are estimated to range anywhere from zero to $71,677
annually, adjusted each year for inflation.

Commencing with Fiscal Year 2005-06, and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator shall

Tax Requirement has not been satisfied by the first step, then the Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal
Year on each Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special
Tax for Approved Property. Third, if the first two steps have not satisfied the Special Tax Requirement,
then the Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year on each Assessor’s Parcel of Non-Residential
Property up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Non-Residential Property. Lastly, if the
preceding steps have not satisfied the Special Tax Requirement, then the Special Tax shall be levied
each Fiscal Year on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the applicable
Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
E. APPEALS
Any taxpayer that believes that the amount of the Special Tax assigned to a Parcel is in error may file
a written notice with the CFD Administrator appealing the levy of the Special Tax. This notice is required
to be filed with the CFD Administrator during the Fiscal Year the error is believed to have occurred.
The CFD Administrator or designee will then promptly review the appeal and, if necessary, meet
with the taxpayer. If the CFD Administrator verifies that the tax should be changed the Special Tax
levy shall be corrected and, if applicable in any case, a refund shall be granted.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
Special Tax as levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at the
same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator
may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different
manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of the CFD or as otherwise determined
appropriate by the CFD Administrator.
G. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity or until such time as Council terminates the Special Tax.

required to be filed with the CFD Administrator during the Fiscal Year the error is believed to have
occurred. The CFD Administrator or designee will then promptly review the appeal and, if
necessary, meet with the taxpayer. If the CFD Administrator verifies that the tax should be changed
the Special Tax levy shall be corrected and, if applicable in any case, a refund shall be granted.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
Special Tax as levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at the
same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator
may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different
manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of the CFD or as otherwise determined
appropriate by the CFD Administrator.
G. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity or until such time as Council terminates the Special Tax.

Staff Report - Public Works Department
Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2023-2024
Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution, adopting a list of projects to be funded with Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues from SB 1 (The Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) provides
funding for local and state jurisdictions to address roadway
maintenance and rehabilitation needs, as well as other transportation
related projects. This act became law in April 2017 and annual
reporting guidelines for local agencies (cities and counties) were
finalized in August 2017. These guidelines describe annual reporting
requirements and processes for local agencies receiving SB 1
revenues, which primarily involves having local agencies identify a list of projects to be
funded with SB 1 revenues each fiscal year and reporting expenditures for those projects.
Analysis
SB 1 was designed intentionally to provide the most flexibility to local agencies as to how
to use these funds, but with a “fix it first” approach to roadway improvements. Annual
funds can be used on multiple projects or a single project can be funded with multiple
annual revenue allocations. “Betterment” improvement projects can be funded with SB 1
funds but require local agencies’ roadway systems to have a comprehensive Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) of 80 or higher – Atascadero’s last comprehensive PCI was 50
(2019).
In general, staff recommends directing SB 1 revenues to fund roadway repairs,
maintenance, and rehabilitation on arterial and collector functional classification
roadways. These roadways receive the heaviest use in town and are driven by most of
the public compared to residential functional classification roadways. Furthermore,
Measure F14 funds have been used exclusively on collectors and residential (local)
roadways. Arterials and collectors are typically more expensive to repair, support
commerce and business activities, have enhanced improvements (sidewalks, bike lanes,
Page 57 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: A-7
DATE: 05/23/23
etc.), and have higher risk for liability if in disrepair. Staff believes committing additional
funding to arterials and collectors will allow the City to continue to improve the busiest
and most visible roads in Atascadero.
SB 1 guidelines require local agencies to pass a resolution each year that identifies a list
of projects for SB 1 funding. The following table summarizes the SB 1 budgeted and
estimated revenues FY 17/18 through FY 23/24.
Fiscal Year
2017-2018 178,070$ 181,060$ 2,990$
2018-2019 530,440 571,180 40,740
2019-2020 511,890 526,611 14,721
2020-2021 568,200 557,213 (10,987)

3,721,050$ 3,867,516$ 146,466$
Budgeted
Actual/
Estimated*Difference
In accordance with the adopted budget, staff recommends allocating the FY 23/24 SB 1
funds toward the following projects:
• Traffic Way Pavement Rehabilitation - North. This project includes heavy
pavement rehabilitation, drainage improvements, pavement markings, traffic
signage, and other miscellaneous and related work for 1.09 miles of Traffic Way
between Chico Road and Santa Cruz Road. Any remaining SB 1 Funds not
needed for the El Camino Real (South) Pavement Resurfacing Project will be
allocated to this project.
• Santa Lucia Road Pavement Rehabilitation - Segments B and C. This project
involves pavement rehabilitation, drainage improvements, culvert replacement,
pavement markings, traffic signage, and other miscellaneous and related work for
2.0 miles of Santa Lucia Road between Portola Road and Llano Road.
Conclusion
The attached Draft Resolution (Attachment 1) will provide the necessary documentation
required to be included with the submitted project list to the California Transportation
Commission (CTC), which is due on July 1, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the Draft Resolution adopting the list of projects for SB 1 funding will allow
the City to receive an estimated $760,910 in 2023-2024 SB 1 funding.

statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the
residents of the City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in the community and which
projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must include a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from
the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, in the City budget,
which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule
for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $760,910 of RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2023-2024 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City has undergone a public process to ensure public input into the

effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate 139
centerline miles of roads, 20 bridges, and add active transportation infrastructure throughout the
City this year and hundreds of similar projects in the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2019 Pavement Management Program found that the City’s streets and
roads are in a “fair” condition and the revenue will help increase the overall quality of the road
system over the next decade, with the anticipation of bringing the streets and roads into a “good”
condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City’s streets and roads may continue to
degrade into a condition that would require higher costs and expenses to maintain and repair; and

drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the pedestrian experience
safer and more appealing, which leads to reduced vehicle emissions helping the State achieve its
air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals; and
WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail reduces construction time, which results in
less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off; and

Broadband Strategy Implementation Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Council approve a contract with TeleworX on a time and materials basis, not to exceed
$90,000, for North County Broadband Strategy Implementation Services.
DISCUSSION:
Project Background:
The Northern San Luis Obispo County Broadband Strategic Plan (BBSP), was adopted
by Council on April 25, 2023 and by the Paso Robles City Council on May 2, 2023.
The Project included data analysis, the identification of broadband needs and gaps in
Northern San Luis Obispo County, and the creation of a strategic plan to meet those
needs. The Strategic Plan Implementation strategy identifies a number of actions that City
staff and technical experts can undertake to advance the deployment of broadband in our
community, such as pursuing grant funding, creating partnerships to partner with Internet
Service Providers (ISPs), or modifying policies and processes related to fiber installation.
Our residents increasingly engage in remote work and online learning from home,
telehealth doctor appointments, virtual meetings, and more. These Atascadero residents
will continue to need stable, fast, and reliable internet as times change and technology
progresses. Taking steps to keep this forward momentum in broadband advancement
will be important to bringing stronger, more reliable, and cost-effective service to the
unserved and underserved populations in our community.
Page 62 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: A-8
DATE: 05/23/23
Figure 58 from the North County BBSP depicts the actions required for Plan
implementation:
With the Strategic Plan complete and approved, the City of Atascadero is ready to begin
implementation, starting with the negotiation of a public-private partnership agreement
with an ISP or multiple ISPs. This opportunity holds the prospects of rapid deployment of
gigabit Fiber-to-the-Home, vastly improving broadband connectivity across the City and
to municipal buildings that will improve service while lowering the annual telecom
expenditures for the City.
In addition, the City will also implement specific recommendations contained in the
Strategic Plan, through technical assistance in the areas of grant assessment and
support, updating and streamlining of the telecom permitting process, the establishment
of municipal policies to drive connected and smart city initiatives, and adaptation of
processes and systems for monitoring Federal and California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) data that will drive broadband funding.
These highly technical tasks require expertise in mapping, the state and federal grant
process, and general negotiations with ISPs to identify the division of responsibility and
specifics of fiber deployment. Specifics may include but are not limited to areas better
Page 63 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: A-8
DATE: 05/23/23
suited for undergrounding versus aerial, the best approach to lowering installation cost,
topographic or utility constraints, or assets available. These tasks require a deep
knowledge of broadband construction and operation as well as staff capacity, which City
staff would need to supplement through a consultant.
Finally, these follow-up actions will address needs and develop plans pertaining to Digital
Equity including coordination of Digital Inclusion programs, California Advanced Services
Fund (CASF) Account Adoption support, and content and program promotion of digital
inclusion programs. This work also requires a significant amount of outreach to
disconnected populations and coordination with State and Federal legislation which is
highly specific to Digital Inclusion legislation.
Staff is recommending entering into a contract to support and supplement City staff in
negotiating public-private partnerships with an ISP or multiple ISPs based on Concept
proposals received through the Request for Information (RFI) process in early 2023. A
consultant would collaborate directly with City personnel such as the City Attorney, IT,
Economic Development, and Public Works. Additionally, the County, State, and Federal
officials and the ISP community will be engaged to develop a best-in-class process for
managing the telecom permitting process and to outline programs to drive Digital Equity
across the City. The consultant would also engage with City staff to establish a system
for securing State and Federal funds for various telecom and smart city initiatives.
Staff is recommending the City hire TeleworX who was hired through a competitive RFP
process for the adopted Strategic Plan. TeleworX was selected for their clear
understanding of the project objectives and infrastructure related issues in our
community. Their team completed the project on time and on budget and met and
exceeded expectations.
Due to their familiarity with the City of Atascadero’s existing systems and the work that
they completed as part of the Broadband Strategic Plan, TeleworX is uniquely qualified
to continue negotiations, grant applications and implement of the Broadband Strategic
Plan.
Section V of the purchasing policy states:
When it is not practical, nor cost effective to receive three qualifications/proposals
in writing or over the phone, the Department Head at his/her discretion, may
choose the vendor best suited for the needs of the particular project.
As such, staff is recommending a new contract with TeleworX be signed on a time and
materials basis not to exceed $90.000. The proposed $90,000 fee for this effort is
reasonable for the corresponding scope of work and the consultant’s per unit cost is the
same as in the previous Strategic Plan Project.
The proposed tasks below correspond directly to the actions outlined in the adopted
Strategic Plan’s Action Plan. Once underway, TeleworX and the City will ensure
appropriate prioritization and level of effort for each of these tasks based on the dynamic
needs of Plan implementation (for example, if we find that it is not necessary to pursue
the FFA grant, we will focus time and effort on a more appropriate grant source).

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report - Public Works Department
Proposition 218 Majority Protest Process Relative to
Proposed Increase to Wastewater (Sewer) Rates
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive all written and verbal testimony regarding the
proposed wastewater (sewer) rates and consider the results of protest proceedings
in accordance with Proposition 218; and
2. Adopt one of the following resolutions certifying the protest results:
A. For a non-majority protest – Draft Resolution A, certifying that the number of
valid written protests were not received from property owners representing a
majority of the parcels subject to the proposed rate increase.
OR
B. For a majority protest – Draft Resolution B, certifying that the number of valid
written protests were received from property owners representing a majority of
the parcels subject to the proposed rate increase.
3. If no majority protest exists, adopt Draft Resolution C, approving proposed
wastewater rates effective July 1, 2023.
REPORT IN BRIEF:
The City is proposing to increase wastewater rates in order to accommodate the costs of
providing wastewater services due to a number of key factors including but not limited to
rising treatment and energy costs; impacts of regulation and legislation; and past and
continued critical upgrades and/or replacement of wastewater facilities and infrastructure.
A Wastewater Rate Study was completed in 2019 that proposed increases to sewer
service charges and sewer connection fees (capacity charges). These significant rate
increases were proposed to be phased in over a five-year period. The rate increases
proposed for 2023-2024 would be the fifth of the five proposed phased in rate increases.
Staff anticipates an updated Wastewater Rate Study to be completed in the fall of 2023.
Page 67 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 05/23/23
The City Council reviewed the rate study and proposed wastewater rates at their
March 28, 2023 meeting and directed staff to administer the Proposition 218 majority
protest process and send out notice of the proposed increases to all property owners
connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system. The Council also set a Public Hearing
for May 23, 2023 to consider proposed wastewater rate increases and receive any
protests from parcel owners subject to the rate increases. If a majority of valid protests
are received by the deadline established, the City cannot increase the proposed rates in
accordance with Proposition 218. If a majority of protests are not received, the City may
go ahead with the proposed rate increases.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City of Atascadero owns and operates a wastewater collection and treatment system
that provides service to a portion of the City. The over 5,000 parcels served by the
wastewater collection and treatment system include residential, commercial, and light
industrial customers. The remainder of the City’s population is served by on-site
wastewater treatment systems (septic systems).
The City assumed ownership and operation of the wastewater collection and treatment
system from the Atascadero County Sanitation District in 1982 shortly after incorporation
(1979). While there have been upgrades, modifications, and additions to the wastewater
treatment facilities, the overall process has not changed significantly since 1982 and is
considered a stabilization pond treatment system. The wastewater collection system (also
referred to as the sanitary sewer system) is currently comprised of approximately 63 miles
of four to 21-inch diameter gravity sewer pipe, 1,460 manholes, 12 lift stations, 7 miles of
four to 16-inch diameter forcemain, and over 5,000 sewer service connections. This
system has expanded since 1982 but still has original pipes in service from the 1930s.
Customers connected to the City’s sanitary sewer system are billed a monthly fixed
charge for the service the City provides to collect and treat the wastewater, which is called
a sewer service charge or wastewater service charge. This fixed rate methodology is
used since the City is not the water supplier and does not have access to individual
customer water consumption data. The monthly fixed charge used by the City is based
upon Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs), where one EDU is the basis for a single family
residence (SFR) service charge, based upon an estimated average daily flow of 240
gallons of wastewater and wastewater strength provided by the residence. Other
connection users are assigned a multiple or fraction of an EDU based upon expected
average daily flow and strength of wastewater compared to that of SFR. For example,
an apartment or condo is 0.75 EDUs and charged 0.75 times that of a SFR service
charge, and a restaurant with less than 40 seats is 4 EDUs and charged 4 times that of a
SFR service charge. The City currently has approximately 8,100 EDUs in the system.
Sewer service charges are collected by placing a levy each year on the property taxes of
individual customers through San Luis Obispo County. The City provides data to the
County, including the Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN), and the associated sewer service
charge being levied on the property. The charge is included as a line item on the
Page 68 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 05/23/23
customer’s property tax statements. Revenue from sewer service charges are paid to the
City twice each year.
Council directed staff at its March 28, 2023 meeting to administer the Proposition 218
majority protest process and send out notice of the proposed increases to all property
owners connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system. Council also set a Public
Hearing for May 23, 2023 for its consideration of the proposed wastewater rate increases.
Staff prepared and sent out notices to property owners on April 5, 2023, which meets the
45-day noticing requirement for the Public Hearing. A copy of the notice (Attachment 1)
is included as reference.
Wastewater Rate Analysis
The City is dedicated to keeping rates low by maintaining lean staffing levels, absorbing
increasing operational and maintenance costs, and using reserves when necessary.
However, much like other utilities and services delivered to homes and businesses, the
costs involved to collect and treat wastewater have risen and continue to rise.
As part of the Wastewater Master Plan process, an independent engineering consultant,
MKN, assessed and analyzed the capital needs of the wastewater collection and
treatment systems. A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was developed that identified
numerous capital facility replacements and upgrades to provide a safe and reliable
wastewater system. In addition to other projects, the most significant capital projects
identified consist of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Retrofit and Secondary
Treatment Improvement Project estimated to exceed $65 million and Lift Station No. 13
and Force Main Project estimated at $7.4 million. Both projects are in preliminary or final
design and are expected to be completed within the next five years. The updated CIP
cost estimates in the Wastewater Master Plan may approach $75-$100 million over the
next ten years. These increased costs are due to more stringent treatment requirements
imposed by the Central Coast Regional Quality Control Board’s new general permit,
significant inflationary pressures, and rising construction cost indices.
Tuckfield & Associates, an independent financial consultant, completed a comprehensive
wastewater rate study for the City’s wastewater enterprise in May 2019. This study
analyzed the City’s wastewater services, wastewater enterprise revenue and revenue
requirements, and current rate structure. The study also analyzed and determined the cost
of providing wastewater services and their corresponding impacts to customer’s bills. This
analysis identified a number of key factors that result in the proposed rates. These key
factors include, but are not limited to:
• Rising treatment and energy costs
• Impacts of regulation and legislation
• Past and continued critical upgrades and/or replacement of wastewater facilities
and infrastructure
The wastewater rate study recommends increasing the current monthly sewer service
charge of $40.46 per SFR (or EDU) by $7.69 for a total monthly rate of $48.15. The table
below shows the current and proposed FY23/24 sewer service charges for the various
connection user categories.

Tuckfield & Associates conducted a wastewater rate survey for neighboring communities
to the City of Atascadero. The following chart compares the City’s monthly sewer service
charge for an SFR to those neighboring communities at the same use for rates in effect
February 2023. As the chart depicts, the current and proposed monthly sewer service bills
for Atascadero customers is among the lowest in San Luis Obispo County.
Comparison of Single-family Residential Monthly Wastewater Bills
For Rates in Effect February 2023
A new wastewater fee study is recommended to be completed in the fall of 2023 to
incorporate updated capital improvement costs, which are expected to increase. A large
portion of these costs are associated with the WRF Retrofit and Secondary Improvements
to meet new Water Board effluent limitations. An alternative analysis is nearly complete
that will identify which treatment methods are recommended to meet these new
requirements, which can vary significantly in costs. Upon completion of the alternative
analysis and some preliminary cost estimates, staff will bring this item back to Council for
consideration.
Public Hearing Procedures/Next Steps:
The Council should open the Public Hearing and receive public comment and protests.
Protests must be in writing and contain the required information below, as described in
the mailed notice and Resolution 2019-033, which established procedures for the
submission and tabulation of protests in connection with Proposition 218 rate hearings:
1. A statement it is a protest against the proposed rate that is the subject of the
hearing.
2. Name of the property owner or record customer who is submitting the protest.
3. Identification of assessor's parcel number and/or street address of the parcel with
respect to which the protest is made.
4. Original, wet signature and legibly printed name of the property owner or record
customer who is submitting the protest.

5. Date the protest was signed.
6. A certification, by the named property owner affirming the contents of the protest
are true and correct.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Clerk shall tabulate all valid protests
received, including those received prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, and shall
report the result to the City Council. If the number of protests received is insufficient to
constitute a majority protest, then the City Clerk may determine the absence of a majority
protest without validating the protests received, but may instead deem them all valid
without further examination. Further, if the number of protests received is obviously
substantially fewer than the number required to constitute a majority protest, then the City
Clerk may determine the absence of a majority protest without opening the envelopes
which contain the protests.
If the City Clerk determines that additional time is needed to validate and tabulate the protests
because the City Clerk has not made the determination described above, then the City Clerk
shall so advise the City Council, which may continue the related portion of the meeting to
allow the validation and tabulation to be completed on another day or days. If so, then the
City Council shall declare the time and place of tabulation, which shall be conducted in a
place where interested members of the public may observe the tabulation, and the City
Council shall declare the time at which the meeting shall be continued to receive and act on
the tabulation report of the City Clerk.
There are 5,474 parcels connected to the sanitary sewer system and subject to the
proposed rate increases. Therefore, there needs to be 2,738 or more valid protests for
the majority protest to occur, whereby no proposed rate increase may be adopted. After
the City Clerk determines the results of the protest process, the City Council will adopt
one of two Draft Resolutions setting forth the results of the protest process. If the majority
of property owners do not protest, the City Council may go forward with approving the
proposed rate increases. In accordance with Title 7, Chapter 10 (7-10.001) of the
Municipal Code, the sewer service rates are adopted by Resolution. To avoid confusion,
the City Attorney’s office recommends that the new rates are not effective for at least 30
days following adoption, or effective beginning July 1, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the number of valid written protests were not received from property owners
representing a majority of the parcels subject to the proposed rate, the City Council may
adopt Draft Resolution A and C. Doing so will result in an estimated $750,000 in additional
revenue from sewer service charges collected in FY23/24.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. If a majority protest is not received by property owners, Council has the option to
reduce the proposed rate increases but may not increase the rate over that proposed.
2. Council could take no action.

NOTICE CONCERNING PROPOSED WASTEWATER
INCREASES AND PUBLIC HEARING
To Property Owner/Customer:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, at 6:00 p.m., a Public Hearing will be held in-person
and virtually at the City of Atascadero Council Chambers located at 6500 Palma Avenue, Atascadero, California 93422
to consider proposed increases in wastewater rates. If approved by the City Council, the proposed rate increases will
be effective for services provided on or after July 1, 2023.
WHY ARE THE RATE CHANGES BEING
CONSIDERED?
The City is dedicated to keeping rates low by maintaining
lean staffing levels, absorbing increasing operational and
maintenance costs, and using reserves when necessary.
However, much like other utilities and services delivered
to homes, the costs involved to collect and treat
wastewater have risen and continue to rise. An
independent analysis determined annual rate increases
would be needed over a five-year period. This year’s rate
increase represents the fifth of that period.
INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS
The City engaged an independent consulting engineer to
assess and analyze the capital needs of the wastewater
collection and treatment systems. The independent
engineer identified numerous capital facility
replacements and upgrades required to continue to
provide a safe and reliable wastewater system. In
addition to other projects, the most significant capital
projects identified consist of the Water Reclamation
Facility treatment process improvements totaling in
excess of $65 million and Lift Station #13 and Force Main
project totaling approximately $10.5 million, both projects
are expected to be completed within the next five years.
Additionally, the City engaged an independent financial
consultant to analyze its wastewater services, revenues
and rates and prepare a Wastewater Rate Study. The
City commissioned this analysis to determine the cost of
providing wastewater services and their corresponding
impacts to customer’s bills. This analysis identified a
number of key factors that result in the proposed rates.
These key factors include, but are not limited to:
• Rising treatment and energy costs
• Impacts of regulation and legislation
• Past and continued critical upgrades and/or
replacement of wastewater facilities and
infrastructure
PROPOSED WASTEWATER REVENUE INCREASES
The City proposes to increase its wastewater service
charges. All wastewater customers would be charged a
fixed monthly wastewater service charge in the same
manner as they are currently charged. Customers of the
wastewater system are charged proportionally to their
wastewater flow and strength contributed to the
wastewater collection and treatment facilities. Current
and proposed wastewater service charges are provided
on the following page.
WASTEWATER MONTHLY BILL IMPACT FOR THE
AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER
The wastewater bill for a single-family residential customer
will increase by $7.69 per month under the proposed rates.
Apartment and Condo bills will increase $5.76 per month
while Senior Apartment Units will increase by $2.69 per
month. Bills for Mobile Homes will increase $4.61 per
month. The table below provides the increase in monthly
charges for residential customers.
Revenues derived from the proposed rate changes do
not exceed the revenue requirements needed to provide
the property-related services by the City nor will the
revenues from the rates and charges referenced herein
be used for any purpose other than that for which the
corresponding rates are imposed. The amount of the
proposed rates imposed upon any parcel or person as
an incident of property ownership will not exceed the
proportional cost of the service(s) attributable to such
parcel; and no rate will be imposed for a service unless
that service is actually used by, or immediately available
to the property or customer in question.

PUBLIC HEARING AND
PROTEST PROCEEDING
The City Council will hear and consider all
written protests and oral comments to the
proposed rate increases at the Public
Hearing. All interested parties are invited to
participate virtually in the public hearing and
present written protests and/or oral
comments on the proposed rate increases
referenced herein. Direction and
information for participating in the meeting
will be available on the City Council Agenda
& Minutes webpage. Agendas are
available on the City’s website:
www.atascadero.org/agendas. Oral
comments made at the public hearing will
not qualify as formal protests of the
proposed rate increases unless
accompanied by a written protest setting
forth the required information (as detailed
below). Upon the conclusion of the Public
Hearing, the City Council will consider
adoption of a resolution authorizing the rate
increases to the City’s wastewater service
charges as described in this Notice. If
written protests against the proposed rate
increases and adjustments to the
wastewater rates as outlined are not
presented by a majority of property owners
of the identified parcels upon which the
wastewater rates are proposed to be
imposed, the City Council will be authorized
to impose the respective rate increases and
adjustment. If adopted, the proposed rate
increases to the wastewater service
charges will be in effect beginning July 1,
2023.
Pursuant to State Law, written protests may be submitted by any record property owner of a parcel, subject to the
proposed City rate changes, against any or all of the proposed rate changes described in this Notice. However, only
one written protest will be counted per identified parcel. Any written protest must: (1) state that the identified property
owner is in opposition to the proposed increases to the wastewater rates; (2) provide the location of the identified
parcel (by street address or assessor’s parcel number (APN)); (3) include the printed name and original, wet
signature of the property owner submitting the protest; (4) date the protest was signed; and (5) certification by the
named property owner that the contents of the protest are true and correct. Written protests may be submitted by
mail or in person to the City Clerk at 6500 Palma Avenue, Atascadero, CA 93422, or at the Public Hearing on May
23, 2023 (date, time, and location specified on the front of this Notice), provided they are received prior to the close
of the Public Hearing, which will occur when the public testimony on the proposed increases and adjustments is
concluded. Due to the inability to verify the authenticity of each individual protest, protests received by telephone,
electronic mail (e-mail), or via social media sites, including, but not limited to, Facebook or Twitter shall NOT be
accepted. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person
to the City Clerk, the following: “Attn: Protest Wastewater Rate Increases”. Written protest in marked envelopes may
be submitted in person by dropping them off in the locked box in the foyer at City Hall. For more information or
questions about the proposed wastewater rate increases, written protest submittal procedures, or public testimony
options at the Public Hearing, you may contact the Department of Public Works at (805) 470-3456 or visit the City’s
website at www.atascadero.org/Prop218. The City’s Wastewater Rate Study and protest procedures will be
available on the City’s website not later than April 5, 2023.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Administrative Services Department
Amendments to Fee Schedule
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution, adopting amended fees and deposits to offset costs
incurred in planning services, and a schedule of fees and charges for City services.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of City government is to service the needs of the people. The City offers a
variety of services to the community including those such as planning and building
development services, park and recreational services, rental of City property, police and
fire services, and other miscellaneous City services of a voluntary or limited nature.
These services are funded in part by fees paid by the users and in part by a General
Fund subsidy. The amount of General Fund subsidy that is required is predicated on
the degree to which the City is able to recover the costs reasonably borne to provide the
special services.
California law allows the City to recover “costs reasonably borne” by the City in
providing services. However, the fee may not exceed those “costs reasonably borne” or
it is by definition a special tax that must be approved by two-thirds of the voters.
In 2022, the City hired a consultant, Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC (RCS) to perform
a complete Cost Allocation and User Fee Study. RCS is an expert in the industry and
has been providing fee and costing services to local government agencies for 43 years.
RCS provided similar services for the City in 2002, 2006, and 2014.
Fee increases were considered and adopted by Council on June 14, 2022. In 2014,
Council directed staff to bring back the issue of adjusting fees annually using the
Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI adjustment for year ending 2022 is 5.57%.
The CPI used was the California weighted average change from calendar 2021 to 2022
that is calculated by the State Department of Industrial Relations. Attached, as
Exhibit A to the Draft Resolution, is a summary fee comparison detailing the proposed
adjustments.
Page 83 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: B-2
DATE: 05/23/23
Recreation activity fees adjust according to cost recovery guidelines and local trends.
The Council has consistently demonstrated the desire to keep recreation fees affordable
to the average family, resulting in a benefit to the entire community. In this Fee
Schedule update, most recreational activity fees are only being proposed to increase by
CPI.
Council has historically indicated their intention to have development pay for itself. The
majority of the development fees proposed are at 100% cost recovery.
Recovering the full cost of the service allows the City to deliver the development
services more efficiently as it helps to provide the funding for the staffing needs of the
department. As discussed during previous Council meetings, there are some
development fees that continue to be subsidized for economic development reasons.
Fees such as outdoor dining encroachment permits and sign permits fall into this
category.
As part of this action, staff is also proposing to reduce other fees to zero in order to
further Council strategic initiatives and due to the general community benefit these
types of projects bring. The fees proposed to be set at zero are as follows:
• 23-057 Standard Encroachment Permit – Improvement
o Sidewalk and Curb/Gutter Repairs- $0
o Non-City maintained Road Repairs- $0
o Downtown Street Trees Installation/Replacement- $0
• 23-058 Standard Encroachment Permit- Utility
o Broadband Fiber Installation- $0
Other fees are limited by State law. Those cost recovery fees will remain at a constant
level unless they are updated by the State.
The remaining fees, which are neither managed by the State nor fall into the already
discussed categories, were adjusted to reflect the actual changes in the costs of
providing those services.
The Service Fees will go into effect sixty days (60) after the resolution is adopted.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be an increase in operating revenue resulting from the CPI increase, with an
offsetting increase in costs to provide the services.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Council may change any of the proposed fees not limited by State law.
2. Council may keep the current fees. This option is not recommended as the amount
of tax dollars necessary to provide these services would increase, reducing the
amount of money available for key Council priorities.

fees, and desires to amend and restate that Resolution in this Resolution, without rescinding said adoption;
and,
WHEREAS, the amount of the Fees do not exceed the true cost of providing the Planning
Services and City Services; and,
WHEREAS, the increase to the amount of the fees is not a “project” subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act because it is a funding mechanism having no physical effect on the

SECTION 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and the City Council so finds
and determines.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
El Camino Real Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Project
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council review and approve the final concept plan for the El Camino Real Downtown
Infrastructure Enhancement Plan, and direct staff and design consultant to move forward
with preparation of final construction bid package.
REPORT IN BRIEF:
The El Camino Real Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Plan (the Project) has been
developed and refined since the Project was formally initiated in August 2017. From 2017-
2020 multiple options were considered, with design alternatives refined through a process
of public input, City department review, Council direction, and technical analysis of traffic
modeling and safety considerations. The selected alternative was approved by Council in
August 2020.
During the summer of 2021, staff received proposals from engineering consultants to
prepare design engineering and construction documents for the Project. Wallace Group
was awarded the contract for these services by Council in October 2021. Initial work
completed under this contract included preparation of a preliminary engineering plan
layout, topographic survey, geotechnical testing, and utility mapping. A design “working
group” was also created that meets biweekly with members of the design team and City
staff from the City Manager, Community Development, and Public Works Departments.
During the fall of 2022, the working group defined multiple design elements and prepared
three illustrative concept plans with a “mix and match” of different design alternatives.
Beginning with the Council presentation on January 24, 2023, staff initiated a public
outreach effort with the intent of engaging City residents and business owners in the
process of exploring the options for how to best utilize the rambla (center median
parking/landscape area) spaces and to gather community insight into the desired feel for
these public spaces.
Following completion of the public outreach meetings, comments were compiled and a
final concept plan was developed based upon themes heard throughout the meetings.

DISCUSSION:
Project Background
The approved El Camino Real Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Plan is a planning
level document that outlines recommendations for road improvements, incorporating
enhanced pedestrian and bicycle access, along with increased parking opportunities and
safer crosswalks. The primary goal is public safety for all roadway users: pedestrians,
bicyclists, and motorists. A second goal is to enhance economic development in the
downtown by creating a zone that slows traffic speeds, enhances appearance and safety,
and increases parking. The Plan extents include the El Camino Corridor from the
intersection of Highway 41 to the intersection of Rosario Avenue.
The overall objective for the reconstruction of this segment of roadway has been
consistent since inception in 2017: to develop a holistic corridor plan within the Downtown
El Camino Real Corridor that considers the needs and goals of all multimodal users,
residents, businesses, and City leaders. The Project was formally initiated in 2017, with
KTUA of San Diego hired in November 2017 to assist the City in the analysis and
development of a corridor plan. Central Coast Transportation Consulting (CCTC) of
Morro Bay worked as a sub-consultant to KTUA to provide traffic engineering and
operations analysis.
After evaluation of multiple options, a traffic analysis was conducted in early 2018, and a
series of public outreach/feedback workshops were initiated in August 2018. Twelve
workshop events took place, both in person and virtually, that included a presentation and
small breakout sessions with City staff. Participants included residents, business owners,
and other interested persons who completed feedback survey forms that contained
questions to assist the City in determining appropriateness of the draft concept plans. The
draft concept plans were revised based upon feedback and presented, along with a
summary of public feedback, to the Council at their August 11, 2020 meeting. Council
approved the concept plans for the Project at that meeting.
In July 2021, staff prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) and solicited proposals from
qualified consultants to provide design services and prepare construction plans and
specifications for the Project. While it was understood that the concept plan had already
been developed and approved by Council, the design process was expected to be
extensive and include an initial phase of work required to refine design concepts, define
cohesive design elements and materials types, and identify engineering constraints and
opportunities. As part of this refining effort, it was anticipated that the process would
include opportunities for additional public and Council review and input, and significant
interdepartmental coordination with the selected consultant design team, to ensure the
Project meets current and future needs.
Beginning in October 2021 the City initiated a first phase or preliminary work, including
geotechnical testing and investigation, topographic survey, and utility research and
mapping. Concurrent with this effort the design working team also began preparing for a
Community Outreach and Input effort to solicit value-based input from Council and the
community on the blend of “finishing elements” for the project. The intention of this outreach
effort was to gather input from multiple corridor users and stakeholders that would provide
guidance on the final fixtures and finishes for the project.

Among the primary considerations, some of the considerations include:
* Amount of landscape and trees vs. parking spaces and activity areas.
* The addition of community identity signs.
* The addition of lighting and other vertical features.
* The type and color of paving for the ramblas areas.
* Size and type of trees for the center ramblas areas.
* Addition of drop-off zones.
* Bicycle parking and other “street furniture” such as seating.
Identification of priorities was essential in informing staff on the overall layout and where
to focus the use of budgeted project funds. The table below shows the various design
elements and the alternative shown on each of the three Concept Plans.

January and February 2023
Open House Format (Attendees May Drop in Anytime)
OUTREACH QUESTIONS/FEEDBACK APPROACH
Materials at the meetings included large-format color graphics of general design
information and project history, the three concept designs, and the design element
matrix.
Staff was available to both answer questions as attendees reviewed materials, and for
one-on-one interviews designed to solicit the preferences and values of the attendees.
The following prompting questions were asked to facilitate discussion:
1. Which of the concept plans do you like most?
2. Why do you like that concept plan the most?
3. Which of the concept plans do you like least?
4. Why do you like that concept plan the least?
5. What else would you like to share with us?
These broad prompting questions required both forced ranking (which do you like
most/least) and an opportunity for attendees to talk about the features that are important
to the attendee (why do you like/not like).
Analysis
The public outreach process saw good turnout from individuals across the stakeholder
spectrum. A total of 86 people gave input at one or more of the outreach events, ranging
in age from children to grandparents, and including residents, business owners and
employees of downtown area businesses. Overall, the reception of participants to the
Page 147 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 05/23/23
plan was very positive, with many commenting that they didn’t care which of the concept
plans was constructed, they were just in favor of the concept and the transformation of
the downtown corridor.
Concerns raised were generally limited and were largely related to plans for maintenance,
upkeep, and the need to emphasize the design and supervision of new public spaces. In
particular, multiple attendees emphasized the desire for the design to stay within the
existing traditional design style of the downtown area, to be well lit, and to provide a good
mix of additional parking and comfortable public spaces.
Conclusion:
Following completion of the public outreach events, staff compiled all comments and met
to discuss takeaways and provide direction to the consultant design team. Along with
design direction, the consultant team was provided the comments from the public
outreach events. The final concept plan combines the previous five years of concept
design development with the most recent public input and Council direction, and provides
the framework to complete the construction documents for bidding and construction in
2024.
Key highlights of the proposed plan include:
▪ The addition of 120 new parking spaces along the center median, added to the
143 existing on-street parking spaces for a total of 262 parking spaces
▪ Matching gateway arches spanning both ends of downtown demarcating the
“Downtown District”
▪ Hanging pendant lights and pole lights throughout the plan area
▪ In-ground planters along the median with potted planters only where underground
infrastructure constraints exist
▪ Eighteen new Coast Live Oak trees in the median and a few dozen new sidewalk
trees
▪ Retention of the existing median with established Crepe Myrtle trees in front of the
Carlton Hotel
▪ Pavers delineating new parking spaces down the center median
▪ Decorative crosswalks with higher visibility for enhanced safety
▪ A full overhead signalized pedestrian crossing at East Mall to improve safety
▪ Four push-button crosswalks with in-pavement flashers for pedestrians at other
intersections
▪ The addition of motorcycle and bicycle parking
▪ Storm runoff planters to capture and treat water where road geometry permits
▪ Coordinated commercial loading zones for deliveries, drop-offs and pickups
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact as a result of Council action on this item.

Comments on favorite concept plan
“I like the way planters double as additional seating, no London plain sycamores, like decorative
crosswalk, love manzanita (low maintenance).”
"Likes the arch from Concept 1.
Likes Uber/door dash areas for both sides of the street.
Liked overhead lighting string lights. Pendant lighting is fine too.
Likes the pavers and the stamped concrete.
Planters are OK depending on where we put them.
Wants to ensure family accommodations for benches and lighting for family atmosphere.
Likes that there is more parking.
arches, overhead lighting, landscaping.
Raised planter seating areas.”
"None. Hates them all. She is confident that these are all very dangerous plans. Life threatening.
Hazardous.
Want a real traffic light at East Mall (instead of the whole thing.)
Wants buses from the school to reduce traffic at school time.
Wants tram/trolley from centralized place to downtown because parking is already a headache and the
parking as proposed won't alleviate the already difficult parking
The plans do not increase convenience, instead are inconvenient.
Construction will close down business"
“Seating, and parking set up around the plazas.”
“Likes the painted sidewalk and plaza to eat ice cream in.”
“None. Please don't do this at all.”

“I like the string lighting, the decorative crosswalks, plan seems more ped and bike friendly.”
"Prefers the gateway style sign
Likes the pendant lighting
Pretty much likes everything in 2
Prefers the benches in concept #1
Using pavers is a good solution"
“Balance between parking and amenities”
"Loading and unloading zones downtown are critically important. Make sure traffic can ALWAYS flow
through the downtown. Don't want trucks to stop all traffic through downtown. Wants commercial
loading zones on every block or designated in the middle everywhere. The same with passenger loading
and unloading zones. It is important that traffic flow is constant and not stopped for periods of time.
All of the other amenities look good. It is going to look nice with any of those.
Good traffic control at East Mall. Will let someone else give opinion on Beacon Hawk vs. Traffic Light."
“I like the focus around the Sunken Gardens with no parking. Try to extend the park. Not convinced the
additional parking is what we need. Open spaces are most important.”
“She likes various aspects of Concepts 1 and 2: keep parking between east mall and west mall, remove
trees and use for events when needed, decorative string lighting (building to building) most efficient,
decorative brick pavers to match historic character. Seating at corners. Remove trees from center so you
can see across during events. Prefers classic gateway archway. Thinks hybrid pedestrian beacon
(overhead) will be most effective. Drought tolerance landscaping. Likes medallions in intersections.”
“Like the idea of no parking in the center of the road, they can walk. No fighting over parking spots.
More attractive not having the parking.”

Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Project
“Haven’t decided on a specific concept. Like the walkability and ease of parking. Crossing the street is
the big thing, and making it safe. A lot of open space in front of businesses and the traffic control is
key.”
“Pendant lights, want the city to look beautiful at night. Like the pedestrian signal”
“Hybrid between 1 and 2. Pavers and branding of medallions. Love the large archway but needs to be
maintained. Proficiency of the parking for public safety aspect is good.”
“Less center street parking and looks better with trees, bike lane”
"Wood bench
Intersection medallion
Concept 2 lighting
Likes potted plants
Likes Gateway arch"
“Likes the parking. Likes the pavers of concept 2 rather than the stamped concrete as well as the
medallions. General appearance of all three is good. Likes the hybrid beacon.”
"I like the flexibility of allowing as much parking as possible for when it's needed (and less space for the
unhoused), but it's convertible for other uses because there aren't as many large raised planter boxes.
The string lights are nice, cozy, classic, and unpretentious.
I like the look of either stamped concrete or pavers in the center parking/flex space. Pavers may be
better for drainage.
I like the sense of place that the gateway arches provide (as well as giving drivers a sense of being
squeezed to help them slow their speed down), but they are not a priority.
Use whatever trees can handle being contained in large pots and don't have large leaves that are hard to
clean up. Manzanitas are slow growing, beautiful, native, and low water.
I do think that the main pedestrian crossing at East Mall might be better with a pedestrian signal that
appears ""normal"" to drivers (red, yellow, or green lights) so that drivers who are new to the
downtown immediately know how to respond to it. The beacon signal (that is off when peds are not
crossing, or about to cross) may be a bit confusing to drivers new to the area.

I also prefer the traditional crosswalk markings because they are traditional! : ) Atascadero doesn't like
fancy. ; )
Please make sure to have plenty of food pick up and loading zones, for folks who need to pop into stores
for 5 min or less, and also for large truck deliveries. "
"1. Likes the single pole simpler entry sign, since it will conflict less with pedestrians and traffic.
2. Likes less parking in the block between East Mall and West Mall since it is more like the original
concept of a continuous Atascadero Mall."
"Was split between #2 and #3.
1. Really liked the Plaza in the East Mall/West Mall black on Concept #3, as he thinks anything we can do
to make a focal ""Public Square"" is valuable. Also noted the next block to the north (East Mall to
Entrada) could potentially be the same treatment.
2. Loves the intersection medallions on Concept #2, as they are a good, ""classy"" look.
3. Likes the parklets, but felt there should be an effort to group those to create a ""critical mass."" He
noted that where he has really seen them be effective is on a stretch of street with multiple parklets. If
there are only one or two it can look scattershot and not provide the right feel.
4. Likes the look of the pavers or other material for the rambla that is very different from pavement.
Noted that there needs to be a significant color difference to break up the monotony."
“I like the amount of parking, the gateway arch and the stamped concrete in the concept”
"The plaza, the lighting, wants all the pavers"
“Third concept minus the plaza in the middle, keep the added parking instead”
“Significant gateway sign, though like the arch if it’s done well and is simple or like the centennial plaza
bridge. Like decorative pavers, mediations. Like the special elements designate it as a special place.
Like the pendant lights. like the pavers. spend money on the hardscape. Add the decorative stuff as we
go.”

“Concept 3 minus the plaza, push dining out into the sidewalk for social and enjoyment.”
“The parking plan is the best.”
“I like the reduction of parking around the downtown core. There are aesthetic elements from plans 1 &
2 I like more, like the street medallions and differing arch styles, but I strongly prefer a less-congested,
more walkable downtown core. A plaza rather than parking would allow for more seating, food trucks,
taking things to go from local bars and restaurants, and encourage shopping. I really like the drought-
tolerant planters from plan 2. The big plaza lamps from plan 2 are also nice.”
“Don't think the plaza is needed if you are going for parking. Don't think people are going to want to
hang out in the middle of the road. Like the bike lockers, manzanita, rustio. Would go with asphalt, just
for low maintenance option.”
“Likes arch: grabs you and gives downtown a sense of place. Shows that we invested in the downtown
area. Likes pavers. Likes road medallions - very classy/rich.”
“Trees, benches, most parking, food drop off, did not care for the arch on either side”
“Gateway sign, more parking, use of planting”
"I like the medallions. We want to bring people in and show them our sense of pride. Make a good first
impression."
“We don't need a lot of additional parking. I like pedestrian amenities. I like entry sign from concept 1.”
“More parking is important. Arched sign. Lighting. Tree types. However, I like decorative crosswalks
from 1.”
“1. Like the Plaza area, that it encourages people to spend time there, and it discourages traffic and
encourages pedestrians.”

"Electric Vehicle Parking is important
Medallions in the intersections"
"1. Split between 2nd and 3rd concept, as she likes the greenery. Their family settled in Atascadero for
the rural, natural feel, and 2/3 is best for that.
2. Likes the pavers and aesthetic elements, and prefers the archway."
"Plaza space creates more places for people to hang out (students doing homework, etc.).
Like pedestrian signal better than hybrid beacon because it's easier for all drivers to understand
red/yellow/green lights than something less traditional.
Like the parklets because adds plants and more places for students and tourists to hang out."
"Like bike racks that you can use your locks on like 3 because it has more pedestrian space and seating
bike loops ae much better than bike lockers. If you use bike lockers make sure there is an unlatch switch
from inside Not really a big fan of string lights- big storms will destroy them likes lights wrapped
around the tree. Warm glow setting on lights because its more welcoming. All the lights need to be the
same color
Likes a lot of plants"
“No need for open plaza because won't be used all the time - better to keep as parking. Like intersection
medallions. Like gateway sign more than arch.”
"Like the sign at each end! Doesn't have to be an arch, but must announce arrival to downtown.
Make the nice seating area near the restaurants.
Decorative string lighting is my favorite
The medallions are beautiful and make the entrance a grand entry to downtown
Concrete wall seat and parklets are a great addition
Need as many trees as possible for the hot summer days"
"A lot of additional parking but still allows for more character with plantings, etc.

Be more thoughtful about where place the food pickup parking zones will be most heavily used.
EV parking: better to move further away from the other EV charging near old Denny's.
Like the pendant lightings and green metal benches.
Likes pavers and intersection medallions.
Loves the safer crossing for pedestrians."
“Not sure its functional but she really likes it because there is less parking. Love getting something to
eat and hanging out in one spot for the day. #3 seems to encourage that the most. The Plaza areas
attracted her to concept #3. Its really important to have areas that will encourage people to come and
hang out. Not a fan of the bike lockers. Big and expensive”
“Concept 1 was the preferred plan, though Concept 2 was also good. Uber Eats, etc. should share the
space as commercial delivery companies in general Loading/Unloading zones. “
“More trees, plenty of parking, more space for events. “
“Likes the parklets, raised planters, gateway monument. Likes the traffic slowing affect.”
“Likes additional trees and less parking. Likes gateway monument. Likes lots of trees to block glare from
the sun while driving. Like pavers because easier to remove, then replace, if need to access
underground utilities.”
“Most parking, sign signs and arches, favorite tree is the Chinese maple”
“It has less parking and more trees. It seems more calm. Pronounced crosswalk. I believe we need more
charging stations. Pavers are a plus. No hybrid beacon, overhead crossing for pedestrians.”
"Least Maintenance, best job of addressing goals of parking and traffic control,
- I would add pendant lights, cables allow for seasonal deco"

“Likes stamped concrete for crosswalk, asphalt for parking. Like terra cotta pots in #1 best. Like the
string lights. Pedestrian hybrid signal is a must, not a light. Like the arch over the sign. Least
maintenance plant wise. Likes Chinese Pistache.”
"Likes the signage and monuments represented in #3. Likes ""old school"". Likes the outdoor seating
and pavers.
Likes the Potted plants in #2 and #1. "
“Safety of not having parking in center lane at Sunken Gardens”
"really likes the idea of stamped concrete. Less maintenance than pavers. If we leave it asphalt people
will drive fast.
Liked the decorative intersections in concept #2 to make it stand out and let people know that this is
downtown.
Way more conservative on the crosswalk. Picture was way too wild for us
Love the idea of parklets,
Doesn't feel the need for plaza/no parking in front of the Sunken Garden"
“Pavement treatments (medallions), parking in front of Sunken Gardens with option to close for events
or flex space, pedestal gateway sign (national park style), prefers more visible pedestrian hybrid beacon
at East Mall for students. Native plants in pots with flexibility to change out (must be maintained!), likes
shade trees.”
“This is favorite because has most parking. Especially for events, need more parking. Would like a plaza
area. Likes arches, would like to incorporate in plan 1. Please add lots of lighting. Trees should not block
visibility, especially in the middle parkway.”
“Gateway arches and the lighting. Did like the color scheme from concept 3, less grey, more red color
tones.”
“Right amount of parking, love the center area, doesn't "over plaza" it. Love the string lights, no opinion
on planting, not area of expertise. Love simplicity of sign designating downtown. Worried about
planters becoming trashcans. Do like seating in #3. Like pavers.”

“Like the lights they are bright. Likes the potted plants. Prefers the way it looks. Seems like a real
downtown. Parking is better in that plan with more middle area parking. Looks like it will be more
parking.”
“#2 Standing out because of the pendant in the intersection and the pavers. Like plants and black bench
from concept 1. Concept 3, like parklets, city design and build them, but would be business owners’
responsibility to maintain them. If they don't, we would bill them to maintain them. “
"Need more parking.
Like the archways.
Be mindful of tree droppings.
Prefer stamped concrete over pavers"
“Don't like potted plants, wants planters like #3. Stamped concrete, better than pavers because of
maintenance and tripping hazards. Don't have a feeling on lighting. Wants the pedestrian beacon to
stay green, then turn red, vs only coming on red when it pushes the button. like the more draught
tolerant plants better, more cost effective and less maintenance. “
"Amount of greenery is great.
Concrete as a preferred material for benches due to heat"
“Seating areas need to be shaded”
“I like to be able to get to the place quickly and easily and park near where I'm going. It has the largest
amount of parking places. Enjoys the beauty but has no specific item that caught her eye from a decor
standpoint. Wants to be in and out, shop and go home. Makes it more able to shop local. “
“Parking, maximum parking, overhead lights, like the bike racks on the sidewalk as opposed to taking up
parking. Like archway if fits in budget, likes black benches, wrapping trees and pavers.”

“Feels like 1 and 2 are similar, like the trees in 2, more trees are better. Prefer little lights, more
charming and modern, little more small-town. like medallions. Don't want messy trees. “
"Love the Archway Sign. Needs to lean into the printing/historic vibe for signage.
Google Thinkwell for designer of archway.
Want the most parking possible. EV parking should be close by but off ECR. "
“Absorbs everything and seems to identify the change toward electric cars. Identifies the green spaces
and many other things. Seems to address parking and the pedestrian access. Better mix of all plans. “
“Like the aesthetics of 3 but without the plaza. can use parking area as a plaza. The only time you want
to hang out there is if the park is full and you could close down that parking. Likes the decorative
crosswalks. Love having some sort of bike rack, somewhere to lock up and go into the businesses. So,
the more bike racks the better. Make bike lanes and crosswalks different color/texture than the rest of
the road. “
“The tiles for the crosswalks look nice and can help with traffic concerns. Perhaps make the crosswalks
a little wider.”
“Walkability, plaza central area. Like the smaller lights and the brick paver. Bike lockers are great. Love
the parklet seating. “
“Loves the decorative cross walk. Will help more people see it and use the cross walk. Liked the seating
area in #3 in front of Sunken Gardens. Likes more lighting generally in the area. Main thing is safety.
Lower speed limit is important.”

"Like the pendant hanging lights. It's unique. Something that defines Atascadero and makes people want
to take a photo and # Atascadero.
Look at Orange City, Iowa signage and wayfinding"
“Likes the pedestrian plaza. It's about the people and making Atascadero a destination. We need to
make the downtown a special destination, and people will be willing to park and walk.”
“Liked the middle parking lane, diagonal parking is better than straight line parking or parallel.”
“Downtown should be considered a more developed, more focused definition of downtown. Feels that
the plazas help define this space as downtown more than parking, and the economic benefits to the
businesses. Feels the plaza will be more conducive to business than just parking. Develop it even more
to engage adjacent blocks.”

Comments on least favorite concept plan
Don't like lighted trees downtown, very distracting, and lights hanging above.
Doesn't like the center area in between the two lanes of traffic.
Doesn't like the big emblem.
Planting pots sometimes get hit would need to be careful where we put them.
Neither EV parking or parklets are a priority.
Doesn't care about bike lockers.
It’s not as good as 3 or 2. Looks boring, not as fancy. Too many parking spots to hit kids.
Too much congestion due to parking in center
Aesthetics, least forward thinking, no amenities.
Doesn't like the median at Sunken Gardens
Don't like the bike lockers
Doesn't like the look of Santana Row
Doesn't think we need decorative crosswalk.
Doesn't like the decorative Road Pavement Elements
Wasted space for plaza where parking could be

Does not like plaza concept or green metal benches (prefers concrete), consider elderly and disabled in
bench design, with backs and arms to help assist. Does not like decorative tile that doesn't fit character.
Does not like bicycle lockers unless covered in murals.
Likes parts of everything. Some issues with all the concepts.
Concrete and asphalt, like the pavers by themselves. Stamped concrete needs a lot of up keep. Bike
lanes, not a big proponent of bikes and cars riding on the road together.
Feel like the medallions and pavement treatments will have tire burnout marks on them. The lighting
needs to be the right lighting that is safe but doesn’t create too much light pollution
Commercial loading zones in #1 aren’t the best. Plaza application does not fit.
Too much parking in center, might be dangerous for pedestrians and for vehicles backing out.
No concept 3 plaza
No string lights
Because of the amount of parking. Not wild about the appearance of the asphalt paving and concrete
stamping. Likes the pedestrian beacon from concept 1 to approve the safety for pedestrians.
I think under normal day-to-day circumstances, the open plaza in front of Sunken Gardens may get more
use from members of the community who want to just hang out there all day. The painted/decorative
crosswalks seem out of place in Atascadero. Asphalt parking is very unappealing! Too many seating
planter walls may invite the unhoused. I like limiting the seating to parklets/streeteries that are more
designated to specific dining establishments. Bike lockers are ugly and seem to be a headache for public
works and PD.
1. Didn't really like the big monument arch/signs.

No need for the median plaza, keep it as parking. We have the demand and will in the future.
ped signal, wants it to be a full stop to be more consistent, design elements look a little dated
Signage is not big enough. Plaza is nice, but parking is more important right now. Parking can always be
converted into a plaza for dining.
ped signal, nothing special in the plan except the white trees
Parking
Too much parking, not enough public space.
Don't like having the right turn lane, slows people down, reduces the amount of people you can fit in the
road. Maybe put art work, sculptures in pots, instead of plants.
Don't like seating on planters because encourages unhoused to linger. Doesn't like string lighting (seems
like a lot of maintenance and doesn't like the look of it) - prefers fixed lampposts.
We need more friction and more parking
I liked the plaza in concept 3 and the medallions in concept 2 better
Need more amenities and aesthetics
Not enough parking, but not enough amenities.
1. Has the most parking, and that makes it much busier. Introduces the extra element of traffic conflicts,
especially with kids.

Likes all the concepts. Does not like the single post entry signs.
Least colorful and not enough seating.
I don't like bike lockers. Kids will lock other kids in the bike lockers and you sometimes forget which
locker it is in

Don't like open plaza in front of Sunken Gardens. There's already enough open space in Sunken Gardens,
and next to La Plaza. Don't like bike lockers.
Too much parking and not enough plantings.
Did not really have least favorite
Lighting: Did not like pendant lighting - liked the string lighting.
Pavement treatment: Really liked pavers or stamped concrete. The asphalt just looks lower class.
Rather spend money on stamped concrete or pavers than big signs.
Plants- Wants shade trees. No palm trees. Liked the lavender and other plants that attract
pollinators/bees Intersections: Wouldn't necessarily go for decorative stuff in intersections, but likes
having a different surface for the crosswalks. Would help slow traffic.
East Mall: The beacon hawk looks nice in the concept, but she doesn't have a strong opinion on that
The plaza was interested, but preferred the flexible space options in Concept 1 & 2.
Less parking, less flexible space near park

Don't like pendant lights.
too sterile, no plaza concept
Bike lockers, parklets
Too many problematic things, more opportunity for transient population
Don't like light signal or benches on planters.
Doesn't like the signage or pavement markings in #2. Did like the pavers in #2 and liked the potted
plants. Doesn't like the intersection treatment in #2.
Doesn't like the archway designs from #1 either. Does like the potted plants in #1. Doesn't like the
articulated green bike lanes in #1 (like we have on Morro Road).
Did not like decorative lighting, nor the decorative paving at intersections
No least favorite. Looking at a combination of all three. All 3 had different elements that are great.
Pendants and string lights were fun. Whichever are the easiest to maintain/cost efficient
Loved the pedestrian control at East Mall.
Does not like bike lockers - get trashed and look shabby, did not like more modern intersection
treatments (keep with existing historic theme in downtown), likes having the option of parking in front
of Sunken Gardens rather than plaza all the time. Preferred other gateway signs.
Please add lots of lighting and crosswalks.

Kind of neutral. All good, this one just didn't have as many elements that she liked.
No deal breakers.
It seems plain. Nothing really catches her eye. Doesn't grab your attention.
Liked all of them.
No pavers, they get lumpy and need more maintenance.
Not a fan of the gateway arches, not important. HATE the sign at the front of downtown. Don't like bike
lockers, invite people to sleep in them. Don't care for decorative sidewalks, stamped concrete is better.
Plaza not needed, more parking better.
Less parking.
Not enough parking
Didn't like the medallion thing. It's a bunch of fluff. Seems like a waste of money. Doesn't like the little
parklet in #3 at the center median.
Not enough parking, don't like bike lockers. Can still use parking spots for events, don't need a
designated plaza.
Don't like bike lockers, homeless people would be in there.
It wastes the space that could be better used for parking. You have sunken gardens and la plaza for
people to hang.

Loss of the two-lane system is problematic for him. Doesn't like too many bicycle hoops and storage
lockers. They can become a storage area for homeless people.
Parking is really tight, would prefer with kids, animals, to have more room to allow kids to come out or
hang out while getting other kids out of the car, especially with the road there. no room for getting out
strollers.
No real least favorite.
Feels like a pass through, like you wouldn't want to stop and get out, just want to get through it.
Likes it all.
I think you should move the plaza to down closer to BRU coffee. Not in front of Sunken Gardens
No bike lockers. Unsightly
Least amount of shade. Shade is needed throughout this corridor. Likes all the parking, but is willing to
sacrifice some for the experience.
High potential to jaywalk to and from plaza. Don't like the bike lockers, people loiter on them, leave
trash, etc.
Too much focus on parking. Understands the convenience, but not at the expense of downtown feel.
There is enough parking in the downtown area, but may require more walking.

concept 3: possible brickwork instead of painted sidewalk.
Use large pendant lights, don't listen to anyone.
Would like another fountain, more fountains. Really likes the painted sidewalk.
Really likes painted sidewalk. Wants a fountain!!
Concerned about diagonal parking causing congestion throughout entire day. I like it the way it currently
is. We need a crossing guard during school hours. This plan should be put onto a ballot for the
Atascadero citizens.
I like the large entry sign in Concept 1. Drop off zones in 3 don’t seem like logical locations.
A lot of people really don't like the center parking but I'm OK with it.
Stated he had already provided Ryan Hayes with his general comments.
Drought tolerant landscaping.
Does not like liquid amber or trees that drop seed pods. Likes sycamores but not the mess.
Remove bump out at Rosario and ECR.
Really does not like trees in the middle, only on sides.
Wants cohesive standards for design of the whole City.
Likes murals - include schools, community.
Community art projects (or flags or in public spaces) to auction off.

Lighting to and from, some people will like to park farther away, so to ensure there is good lighting
extend out to feeder parking lots or streets.
Leave the space flexible with no barriers so it can be convertible.
No benches in median
No curbs around median
All outdoor lightning needs to be quality, directed down to the ground. Needs to be the right intensity
and color. 3,000K or less.
Prefer bike lanes over parking at the sidewalk all throughout plan
Extend flow from tunnel to Sunken Gardens - add more seating and community space near tunnel
Like the appearance of all three
Is there really no way to have a separated bike lane through the entire space? Even if we have to
sacrifice a few parking spaces?
One member of the community mentioned that handicapped drivers need plenty of space to unload
both beside the vehicle and behind (many folks unload wheelchairs, etc. from the rear). Can we please
make sure this is in the design, so they are not unlading into the main flow of traffic?
Likes lighter lighting, less harsh, more trees, EV parking
Noted that it can be difficult for those with ADA needs to use a standard-length space, since they need
to unload from the back of the vehicle. Ms. Sullivan noted that extra deep ADA spaces in the rambla
space could be a solution.

1. Additional parking is needed and should be the top priority when refining the design.
2. Second priority is lighting. Since well-lit spaces attract people, the more light the better from an
economic development standpoint.
3. Had some concerns about the maintainability of string/pendant lights: Would they hold up to higher
winds, and would they be maintained regularly so that there weren't lights out, etc.? Noted students
potentially throwing shoes and clothes over the light cables.
1. Was glad to see loading zones included, and asked if it would be possible to include areas for delivery
trucks.
1. When asked to prioritize the big dollar items, he would prioritize the hardscape, permanent
improvements (surface treatments, intersection medallions, lighting, etc.) His preference would be to
save money by planting smaller trees, taking the long view that they will grow over time. Also, another
money saving idea is to leave spaces for parklets and allow business to utilize those areas at their own
cost, not necessarily as part of the project.
2. Noted the need to be cognizant of design to limit public camping, or be willing to enforce and have a
PD presence to deter it.
We need to put in fiber or conduit down El Camino.
We should also create a point to point wireless ""community Wi-Fi in downtown. This is a way to
provide affordable access to internet for residents.
This would be a benefit to businesses as well so they don't have provide public Wi-Fi. Huge opportunity
to provide affordability.
Really like the plan, want to see it happen. Also liked plan 1, but mostly would take plan 3 as is.
Like the bike lockers due to security. don’t like the green bench, like the wooded elements and seat
along with the concrete planters and benches, like the more details in the walkways with more color,
like the more modern arch
Put the money to hardscape. Put in smaller trees, they will grow, make the hardscape the priority. Don't
put in high maintenance stormwater basins. However, we can incorporate stormwater runoff so

like the historic arch on both side- cozy and unity, lots of light and low-level light for walking around,
bike racks not the boxes, need good drainage in the planters but concerned about the upkeep and
weeds, wrap the trees with lights.
More car charging. I want the purple trees. There should be food truck spots, there should be an arch.
The space from Traffic to east mall should be shut down for festivals. We should be able to have farmers
markets on entrada and traffic. Anything that increases foot traffic in downtown should be included. For
festivals forcing people to walk through traffic and entrada to gain entrance to festivals in the sunken
gardens would likely generate tax revenue.
Please add more EV chargers while grants are available!
Light soft lighting. Not sure about the locus tree, root systems can be advantageous.
Wants large loading areas for larger delivery trucks. "It will be interesting to see how the choke works"
when traffic is squeezed down to 2 lanes of traffic. Only time will tell whether this is successful.
Mentioned Lancaster and how that works because there are alternate roads that can be used, and we
don't have that option in Atascadero.
lots of seating and black benches, EV parking in the middle is a good thing, tons of trees- all are great
options but lots of them, like the artist design elements, want more cameras for safety especially in the
ECR bridge area
Pleased that funding is available. Good planning.
How many handicap parking spaces do you need to accommodate the population?

countdown?

I like the general direction of this project and where the downtown is going.
Concept one parking area near sunken gardens should be flexible space that can be converted for

1. Definite no to bike lockers.
Make fixtures vandalism proof! Include metal stops to deter skateboarders.
Include a place where you DONT mind them skateboarding
More public art. Love the fountain concept in the value.
Metal benches are too hot in the summer unless they're shaded. Concrete could be a better alternative
Create a place where people CAN add art/graffiti to a wall that is for the community to decorate
1. Not a fan of electric vehicle parking, since she feels it will be incentivized on a private level and
doesn't need to be in the public space.
2. Worries about the maintenance of pendant lighting and that they will be broken and unsightly.
3. Be careful about the hue of lighting, that it isn't too close to traffic control signals (primarily yellow).
Love the equality murals around town.
Wants maximum seating for students and anyone who wants to have a fun day out.
Like the string lights because they are very special and festive.
Parking and driving needs to be simple and easy to understand. No confusing or unusual signage or
signals.
Like the sign at each end. Doesn't have to be an arch, but must announce arrival to downtown.

Concrete wall seat and parklets are perfect
Need as many trees as possible for the hot summer
Like gateway sign from #3.
Like parklets from #3 to have additional seating near restaurants. Nice to have more shady seating near
dining.
Don't want too many wide-open plazas because may be attraction for unhoused.
In general thinks is a good idea to slow down the traffic downtown and make it safer for students.
Preferred Edison bulb option for lighting. For the intersection treatment options, noted the importance
of maintaining the color and design rather than it getting dirty, damaged, and worn. Does not want bike
lockers, but rather, bike racks in Concept 1. Regarding Plaza/Flex Space, did not like how Concept 3
permanently created plazas (flexible parking in the other concepts). Preferred flexible parking with
special events, parades in mind.
Ambiance of string lights is positive
Like string-lights the best. Parklets would need to provide shade. May need to establish volunteer group
to keel additional public spaces clean.
Want to make sure parking spaces are roomy enough for larger vehicles (minivans, etc.). No preference
on trees in pots vs planters - a mix would be nice.
like the pendant lights without the palm trees, old fashion arch on both ends, no string lights because
they are a distraction to the signals and wash things out, like the intersection artistic affects, LOVE the
increase in parking along with keeping things with a small-town feel

Don’t create infrastructure that would invite transients or camping, no bike lockers. Fit motorcycle

There is some concern about the angled parking and people backing out into the lane of traffic.
He is a developer who really wants to know where he can develop quality projects and get good tenants
and financial partners for his projects.
How will this be paid for? Prefer smaller identification sign. Make the project more affordable.
Make sure we are not going too metropolitan. We want to keep that small-town feel. We want to make
sure it is walker friendly.
No paid parking requirements as it will deter from encouraging business downtown.
Metal benches felt tired and basic, liked the wood benches and seat planter style.
Would like the lighting to match or blend with whatever is installed on Entrada by the Downtown
Association.
Likes the idea of handicap parking spots near crosswalks for accessibility.
No bike lockers.
It's a great project. It's about time. Many projects have come and gone so I hope this one goes through.

Safety matters most.
I like it. Doesn't like the cell towers in the downtown area. It bothers her and thinks we need to do
some shielding to protect business owners and shoppers from radio signal especially based on the
increase in the level of signals being put forward. It's easy to shield so that people can be safer. Prefers
not to have 5G cell service downtown in such high concentrations. We can do the same thing with safer
methods.
Think it’s awesome, can't wait for it to happen.
Dark sky initiative, want to be able to see the stars, market stars and being able to see the stars
downtown. Like it all, great job in the designs.
Archway to define our entrance. Opportunity for social media statement. Image to identify/brand
Atascadero.
None of the plans identify solar panels that could be used for charging perhaps provide shade for
summer time use and parking. Should identify places for green usage for which there may be some
funding available from the State of California.
Lighting is a major concern. The brightness and color of the lights could tend to bother some people’s
acuity and sensitivity for vision issues, PTSD issues etc. Should some consideration for people with
medical issues and we should review the studies by the VA and others to determine the best use of the
lighting to ensure against people having problems with increased lighting in the area. We could also use
motion sensor lights that get brighter as people enter the area.
Likes the balance of trees to parking in concept 2. Like the entry way arch. Parklets make more sense
when they are in front of businesses where you would be using them, ice cream, coffee shops, etc. Like
trees and shade for after biking. Likes the stamped concrete, looks like it belongs there, more natural
than the painted lot. like having the parking spots be more distinct from the road.
We may look at creating a parking garage at the current laundromat space next to the police station.
That would give more parking spaces close to downtown.

Medallions with El Camino bell and chamber logo, city logo throughout intersection.
Look into Target shopping Center's ability to capture and reuse rainwater. We should do something
similar. Purleiu landscaping does their landscaping
Make an investment now to lower maintenance later.
Suggests designing the two blocks from East Mall to Entrada as a plaza first, with flexibility to park in, as
opposed to the other way around. Could potentially use the Atascadero Plaza for parking in the short
term and the new Plaza in El Camino for pedestrians. Recommends considering also doing the plaza
approach from West Mall to Plaza to create an entire space similar to Santana Row.
Signs with directories were really helpful coming into the downtown. Kevin is not from the area and
found what we had in place very helpful.
Focus on creating spaces that are useable during more extreme weather. Creating spaces that are
comfortable both during cold and hot weather. Feels it is easier to go plaza first, then go parking later if
desired. Potentially limiting parking in two blocks to short term parking.

Management Report - Community Development Department
Discussion of Potential Text Amendments
to Titles 3 and 9, Planning and Zoning
RECOMMENDATION:
Council review and discuss potential text amendments to Titles 3 and 9, Planning and
Zoning, and direct staff regarding which amendments to bring forward at this time.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
In September 2016, the City Council adopted a substantial update to the zoning
regulations, which included changes to land use definitions and “clean-up” of
inconsistencies between the Municipal Code (“the code”) and the General Plan. At that
time, staff noted that an annual update of the zoning regulations is essential to maintaining
consistency with community goals and the General Plan in addition to changing State and
Federal regulations. Updates have been done almost annually since then. However, due
to workload and staffing shortages, an update has not been completed since 2021.
Therefore, this is the 2022 and 2023 zoning code update.
Since the last update, the State has passed laws that affect local zoning standards.
Updating the code will bring it into conformance with State standards. Continued “clean-
up” is also needed to ensure clarity and consistency. Title 3 is included in this update as
Planning Staff processes business licenses requesting Cardrooms. Any updates to either
title will require that a draft ordinance be reviewed first by the Planning Commission with
final action by the City Council. This report summarizes a list of proposed code
amendments. Staff is seeking initial direction from Council prior to initiating the formal
code amendment process.
Analysis:
The following sections describe proposed amendments. Each subsection includes the
topic, Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC) reference, explanation of why a modification
may be necessary and a description of staff’s recommended change.
1. Towing and Impound Yards in the Industrial Zone (AMC 9-3.330, AMC 9-3.500)
Page 177 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 05/23/23
• Describe a towing yard as a separate land use from either a service station or wrecking
yard.
The zoning code only allows a vehicle towing service under the definition of “Service
Stations”. The Service Stations land use designation historically applied to fuel/gas
stations. Service stations are conditionally allowed uses within commercial zoning
districts along El Camino Real and Morro Road but not in Industrial zones.
A similar land use that allows for Auto wrecking yards and impound lots is included under
the land use definition for Storage, Recycling and Dismantling of Vehicles and Material.
This intensive land use is allowed in the Industrial Zone subject to specific development
standards. These development standards include a minimum site area of at least one
acre and a location at least five-hundred feet from any school, church, hospital, public
building, commercial or residential zone. Towing services are assumed to be allowed in
this category since it is accessory to an impound yard.
However, most of the City’s Industrial zoned land would not accommodate the “wrecking
yard” land use since most of it is within 500 feet of residential land uses. Therefore, a
towing service has few, if any options, to locate within the City.
This amendment would include adding Towing Services as a land use category with its
own land use definition. This would include removing the use from the current Service
Stations definition. Towing services would be allowed in the Industrial and Industrial Park
zoning districts and with a use permit within the Commercial Service district. It is assumed
that a towing services business would accommodate a small impound yard not to exceed
10,000 square feet and would not involve the dismantling or sale of vehicle parts.
2. Co-working in Business Support Services Definition (AMC 9-3.500)
• Re-define coworking from “Business Support Services” to “Offices” definition
Business Support Services are generally intended to be a retail use that is open to
customer visitation with limited or no storage. This land use is allowed within the
Downtown Commercial district and includes, but is not limited to the following:
a. Blueprinting and reprographics, copying and quick printing services;
b. Computer related services, repair and rental;
c. Private mail and mailbox service not affiliated with federal mailing agency;
d. Co-working spaces, incubator-type services that provide office-type working spaces
for a fee.
Business Support Services is an allowed use in all commercial zoning districts except
Commercial Neighborhood (CN) and Commercial Tourism (CT). Allowing Business
Support Services in the Downtown Commercial zoning district with this definition is not
consistent, since offices are not allowed on the ground floor in the majority of this zone.
In order to ensure consistency with the land use definitions, staff proposes to remove the
Page 178 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 05/23/23
allowance for co-working under Business Support Services and move it to the definition
of Offices. This would not impact the existing coworking space or Chamber of Commerce
office in Colony Square because offices are allowed on the ground floor when they’re
located south of Atascadero Creek and outside of the downtown “core”. The City wants
to continue to support the expansion of coworking offices around the downtown or within
the core when they are above the ground floor and this shift will not alter that.
3. Special Events (AMC 9-6.177)
• Clarify permitting requirements for special events on private property
The zoning code defines Temporary Events as “Any use of a structure or land for an event
for a limited period of time where the site is not to be permanently altered by grading or
construction of accessory facilities” with a list of examples, i.e. art shows, festivals,
concerts, etc. Temporary events are not allowed in any residential agricultural or public
zoning districts. They are allowed in all commercial zoning districts with some zoning
districts requiring a conditional use permit when events require more than three days for
onsite setup and teardown. Additionally, Temporary Events are subject to the standards
of Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC 9-6.177).
The City wants to encourage special events on commercial properties as an economic
development tool. This code amendment is intended to reduce the permitting
requirements for small special events on commercial properties and provide a threshold
for those special events that need review by the City’s Fire, Building or Transportation
team. The code, however, lacks a sufficient definition of when a special event permit shall
be required or whether the special event is simply a typical part of an existing business.
The City does not want to stifle business from offering outdoor seating, outdoor sales
events, or promotions when they are within private property and do not alter the egress
of a site nor erect structures (such as tents) that would require City review. A proposed
code amendment would define a special event as one that utilizes the public right of way
for private purposes, alters existing parking or access zones, and/or erects temporary
structures that exceed 120 square feet in area that would be subject to the building or fire
codes.
The City is also continuing to receive requests from owners of vacant properties to utilize
their land for extended temporary uses. These are uses that may involve minor
modifications to the land such as installing restrooms or lighting facilities, but not
construction of an actual building. Examples of this may include a food truck court or a
pop-up market. Currently, these are limited to being defined as temporary events with a
limited number of events per year. Staff can update the code to allow for more flexibility
for these uses. However, some things to consider are that temporary event venues do
not pay development impact fees, wastewater capacity charges and may unfairly
compete with brick and mortar businesses that are subject to these requirements. This
amendment will allow the City to provide more definitive guidance for when a special
event reaches the level that needs a City permit along with review by the Fire, Planning
or Building division.

4. Restrict Oversized Equipment for Home Occupations (AMC 9-6.105)
• Explicitly state that oversized equipment may not be kept on a residential property in
conjunction with a Home Occupation
The zoning code allows for a Home Occupation as an accessory use of a dwelling unit
for gainful employment involving the manufacture, provision, or sale of goods or services.
The code requires that the home occupation not change the residential character of the
residence and that on sites of less than one acre, the business must be conducted entirely
indoors while properties over one acre may occur outside as long as storage of materials
and equipment is screened from adjacent properties and the street. In some cases, home
businesses may appear more like a commercial business when there are larger trucks,
heavy equipment or other significant storage. To ensure compatibility with the
neighborhood, a code amendment would limit the storage of oversized equipment to one
item that may be stored onsite when it’s entirely screened from the public right-of-way
and adjacent parcels. Storage of equipment will also need to be approved the by City
Engineer to review adequate access and ensure that the equipment will not unreasonably
impact surrounding city-maintained streets. Heavy equipment will be defined as “self-
propelled, self-powered or pull-type equipment and machinery, weighing 5,000 pounds or
more, primarily employed for construction, industrial, and forestry uses (e.g., water
tender, backhoe, mini-excavator, and SWECO tractor).”
5. Residential Care facilities development standards (AMC 9-6.135)
• Reduce the required minimum lot size required to permit Residential Care homes with
over six clients
The zoning code defines Residential Care as “A single-family or multiple-family dwelling
unit that is licensed or supervised by a Federal, State, or local health/welfare agency that
provides nonmedical care of unrelated persons who are in need of personal service,
supervision, or assistance essential for sustaining activities of daily living or for the
protection of the individual.” Residential Care facilities are allowed in all agricultural and
residential zoning districts when they have six or fewer clients. Facilities with seven or
more clients require a Conditional Use Permit in all zones. All Residential Care facilities
must meet the minimum standards listed below:
a. Minimum Site Area. Twenty thousand (20,000) square feet is the minimum site
area for more than six (6) boarders.
b. Fencing. Any play areas for children are to be fenced to prevent uncontrolled access
to and from the site.
c. Parking. For facilities with more than six (6) boarders, parking is to be provided as set
forth in Section 9-6.134(b).
The minimum site area (item a) limits the ability of some property owners to operate these
types of facilities. Since Residential Care Facilities operate similarly to a single-family or
Page 180 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 05/23/23
multi-family residence. Staff is proposing amend the code to reduce the minimum lot size
requirement to 10,000 square feet to allow these facilities within multi-family areas closer
to services and transportation.
6. Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Screening (AMC 9-4.128)
• Expand the types of equipment that must be screened or incorporated into the design
of buildings
The zoning code contains standards for screening mechanical equipment including air
conditioning and heating devices but not plumbing, exhaust vents or chimneys. When
projects and permits are submitted to the City, there is no guidance on how to screen all
other mechanical equipment such as utility meters, cable equipment, backflow
preventions, electrical transformers, etc. Since there are currently no codes requiring
screening for these equipment types, they often get installed in extremely visible places.
Staff proposes to amend the code to expand the types of equipment that must be
screened or incorporated into the design of buildings to include backflow preventers and
electrical transformers so they are not visible from the public right-of-way or adjacent
residential zones. Staff can also include an exception that must be approved through an
Administrative Use Permit if the screening or incorporation is infeasible.
7. Barbed-wire/ Constantine Wire Fencing (AMC 9-4.128)
• Allow certain security fencing in industrial zones with DRC approval; restrict in
commercial and residential zones
The code does not currently address the use of barbed wire or Constantine wire fencing
on any property, regardless of zoning. When projects are subject to design review, the
Design Review Committee (DRC) may make suggestions regarding the wire. If the
property does not require design review, such as a single-family residence, they are
currently allowed to install these types of wire anywhere on their property, including within
the setbacks.
This amendment would prohibit barbed wire or razor wire topped fencing within a retail
zone or similar commercial district such as Commercial Park (CPK). This amendment
would not apply to agricultural fencing utilized in a low height (4 feet or less) rural setting
to enclose livestock. See example of this type of fencing below.
Agricultural style barbed wire fencing:

8. Cardroom Approval Process (AMC 3-5.105)
• Clarify and simplify process for approving Cardrooms
The City of Atascadero’s Municipal Code chapter 3-5.105 (Cardrooms) sets forth an
approvals process that is outdated. Many of the requirements created in the past are
now duplicative due to state gambling license requirements. Staff recently assisted
Outlaws Cardroom with a new business license due to a change of ownership and
discovered that the process includes substantial City staff time on items that are already
accommodated at the state level.
Most of the previously listed requirements are repetitive of the State of California’s
requirements to license a cardroom. The following amendments are proposed to Title 3:
a. Allow for applicants to submit a $500 check in lieu of a bond. The amount is too low
to warrant a bonds company to issue.
b. Allow for applicants to submit State-issued gambling license from the California
Gambling Control Commission In lieu of City issued work permit. This is duplicative
as the state has covered this task.
c. Allow for ministerial business license approval by staff once all of the above steps are
complete, rather than going to City Council.
d. Remove requirement for City issued work permits for all cardroom employees
e. Other changes to streamline the process and remove redundant work
9. Accessory Structures Minimum Lot Size (AMC 9-6.106)
• Remove the requirement that a lot must conform to minimum lot size standards in
order to qualify for streamlined review when allowing for an over-sized accessory
structure and instead reduce lot size minimum to one acre.
The zoning code requires that all residential accessory structures be limited to fifty-
percent or less of the size of the primary residence to qualify for a discretionary building
permit. The floor area may be increased by approval of an administrative use permit to
allow additional floor area over the specified limits, when consistent with the appearance
and design criteria in Section 9-6.106 (3) and when additional findings can be made to
support an increased size. One of these required criteria is that the accessory structure
is located on a conforming lot. Many lots within the City do not conform to their
underlying zoning districts minimum lot size since much of the City has a minimum lot
size over 2.5 acres. If a lot does not meet this criterion then the project is subject to a
higher-level Conditional Use Permit review by the Planning Commission. Staff is
proposing to amend this criterion from a conforming lot to a lot size such as 1.5 or one
acre or greater.

10. Clarify Definition for Uninhabitable Space Additions (AMC 9-9.102)
• Add standards for defining how an uninhabitable structure or space is considered
attached to a habitable structure
Atascadero Municipal Code 9-9.102 (Ordinance 660) defines how habitable residential
additions need to be connected to a primary structure in order to be considered an
addition:
Residential Additions. Residential additions (additions) are defined as an
increase of floor area to a residential unit. Habitable residential additions shall have
a continuous, logical internal connection of conditioned space that provides for
access to all portions of the unit and addition. Doors or other partitions may not be
used to create two (2) separate living spaces.
The addition shall not have a secondary kitchen; however a wet bar is permissible
as defined by Section 0-5.020(j). Additions must have a minimum ten (10) feet of
shared common wall and a logical internal connection of conditioned space that
provides access to all portions of the unit and addition. A breezeway or similar roof
connection of unenclosed or unconditioned space, regardless of length, shall not
be considered a residential addition.
The zoning code requires that detached accessory structures exceeding fifty percent of
the floor area of the primary residence obtain use permit approval before issuing a
building permit. This ensures compatibility with the neighborhood.
There is no limit to the maximum size of a residential addition when properly connected
to a primary residence, therefore it is important to have a clear definition of what qualifies
as a residential addition. Because of the way the definition of residential addition is
worded there is some confusion about whether the requirements apply only to habitable
additions or all additions. Staff proposes an amendment to AMC 9-6.106 to further clarify
that all residential additions must meet the requirements (e.g. 10ft shared common wall,
logical internal connections, no breezeway, etc.).
11. Day Care Regulations (AMC 9-3.230, AMC 9-3.330)
• Modify zoning code for consistency with State law specifying that Large Family Day
Care is an allowed use in residential zones
The zoning code separates the Day Care land use definition into four separate categories:
1. Child Care Centers for day care facilities approved to accommodate fifteen or more
children,
2. Large Family Day Care Home for a home that regularly provides supervision for seven
to twelve children,
3. Small Family Day Care Home which is a home that provides day care for six or fewer
children; and
4. Adult Day Care Facility which is a day care providing supervision for adult clients.
Page 183 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 05/23/23
Adopted in September 2019 and enacted in January 2020, Senate Bill 234 directs
municipalities to treat Large Family Day Care homes the same as Small Family Day Care
homes. This means a city or county government cannot require an owner to get a Use
Permit or business license for a large or small family child care home. The current zoning
code requires that a Large Family Day Care obtain a conditional use permit in all
residential zones before operating. In order to comply with State law, the City cannot
enforce the requirement for Large Family Day Cares to obtain a Conditional Use Permit.
Therefore, staff needs to update the zoning code to reflect this change in law and clarify
that Large Family Day Cares are an allowed use in all residential zoning districts.
12. Setback clarifications (AMC 9-4.107, AMC 9-4.108)
• Resolve code inconsistencies for side and rear setback exceptions
The zoning code allows for enclosed structures to project into the side and rear setbacks
in two different sections:
AMC 9-4.107 allows a side yard to be used for an accessory building that is no greater
than twelve feet in height, provided that it is not used for human habitation or the
keeping of animals. The code restricts these from being located closer than five feet
to any property line and requires that they be located in the rear half of the lot. There
is no restriction on the size limit of the structure as long as is less than twelve feet tall.
Five feet is the standard side setback but based on this code section, the structure
may be located as close as five feet to the rear property line where the setback is
typically ten feet.
AMC 9-4.108 contradicts the previous section by allowing an accessory structure with
all of the previous qualifications as close as three feet to a side or rear property line.
Staff proposes to revise these sections to include a maximum size of a structure up to
four hundred square feet. This amendment would make these sections consistent with
each other and allow a side and rear setback as small as five feet when an accessory
structure is less than four-hundred square feet and twelve feet tall or lower in height.
13. Eating and Drinking Places Parking Requirements (AMC 9-4.118)
• Correct typo in AMC 9-4.118
Atascadero Municipal Code Section 9-4.118 list the minimum number of parking spaces
required according to different land uses. One of the land uses listed is “Eating and
Drinking Places”. This use includes restaurants and bars with on-site consumption. The
code incorrectly states that for customer spaces, the use requires “1 table per patron”
when it should say “1 per table”. Staff proposes to amend this small typo for clarity in the
future. This change does not affect the number of parking spaces that are currently
required.
14. Driveway surfacing requirement on slopes 12% or greater (AMC 9-4.123)
• Remove chip seal surfacing as a non-skid option for residential driveways with a
slope greater than 12% to be consistent with the City’s adopted Fire Code
Page 184 of 185
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 05/23/23
The zoning code currently requires that driveways with a slope of 12% or greater to be
surfaced with asphalt, concrete or chip seal. Driveways with lesser slopes are allowed to
use any kind of all-weather surfacing. The City’s adopted fire standards do not allow chip
seal to be used as an alternative to achieve a non-skid surface. Therefore, the City’s
development requirements are inconsistent with each other. In order to fix this, staff is
proposing to remove the option to use chip seal on driveways of 12% or greater as a non-
skid option.
Conclusion:
The listed text amendments are consistent with the General Plan. Staff is seeking
direction from the City Council as to which text amendments should be prioritized and
brought back before the Council in the coming weeks. Alternately, staff is seeking
direction on which amendments can or should be pushed back to a future zoning code
update.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. City Council may direct Staff to not work on any text updates that are not
inconsistent with existing local or State laws.
2. The City Council may determine that more information is needed on some proposed
revisions and may direct staff to return with additional information. The Council should
clearly state the type of information that is required and move to continue the item to
a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The upcoming text updates/clarifications will be done by City staff with funding from the
General Fund.
