Background
The Grand Oaks Development was approved by the City Council in November of 2019.
The project included a small-lot cottage subdivision with common area amenities and live-
work townhomes along the El Camino Real frontage. The project included approval of a
custom Planned Development Overlay Zone to allow for the small lot subdivision and
subsequent sale of each unit. As part of the project approval, the Council found that the
project met the special findings for approval of the Planned Development Overlay Zone,
as highlighted in the chart below:

Construction began in 2020 with approximately 50% of the units complete to date. The
work-live portion of the project has not been started. During the time of construction, the
project encountered challenges associated with the COVID pandemic, unstable
constriction material costs and availability, and above normal rainfall. Additionally, the
applicants spent revenue from this project on other projects outside of the City. These
factors contributed to a substantially delayed completion schedule. The developers are
requesting modifications to the approved Master Plan of Development to reduce the
common residential amenities as a cost savings measure.
Analysis
Existing Master Plan of Development
The existing Mater Plan of Development was designed with two main resident amenity
spaces: the central open space and a community building adjacent to the El Camino Real
frontage.
The project, as approved, included an additional residential unit adjacent to the interior
open space area. Prior to construction, the developers decided not to construct this unit
to allow more open space between the units. The construction plans included an
expanded deck surrounding two large live oak trees. This area included shared amenities

such as walking paths, community gardens, fire-pits, bocce court, BBQ and picnic areas.
Due to construction impacts and drought conditions in 2020, one of the significant large
oak trees died and was removed for safety. There is one remaining oak tree.
The approved project also included a community building along the El Camino Real
frontage. This building was envisioned to have a community kitchen and dining area/flex
space with options for meeting rooms to be shared by the cottage and live-work
homeowners.
Revised Community Amenity Proposal
A concrete patio space is proposed where a residential unit would have been. This patio
is designed with a propane BBQ, gathering space, and propane firepit. This new area
would be flat with a retaining wall along the western edge to accommodate access from
the surrounding units are create a more usable space. Staff has conditioned that a
permanent gas line be installed to the firepit to ensure that this area provides a quality
amenity for the residents. Informal seating areas are proposed under the remaining oak
tree with mulch to reduce impacts to the rootzone as much as possible. The developers
did have an arborist review the common area plans and it was recommended that
improvements be minimized under the dripline of the tree to ensure post-construction
survivability. The tree is currently in a state of decline.

The construction of the 1,900 square foot community building has become financially
infeasible for the developers. In order to continue construction on the remaining units,
including the live-work building, the developer is requesting replacement of the
community building with an additional outdoor amenity space. The proposal includes
paved gathering space surrounding a large at-grade planter. This planter could
accommodate a large shade tree. Permanent benches would be installed surrounding the
planter. As there is a grade change from the sidewalk to the adjacent residential cottages,
retaining walls will be required. The current plan shows the community patio at grade with
the sidewalk with a ramp and stairs from the sidewalk to the residential level. It is unclear
from the submitted landscape plan how the patio will accommodate the change in grade
over the width of the space. Staff has added a condition that the patio space be raised off
of the public way to create a more private feeling space for the residents.

Conclusion
The Grand Oaks Project is partially complete with approximately 50% of the cottage units
sold and construction ongoing on 4 additional units. Construction has not begun on the
remaining 5 cottages nor the live-work building, the carport, or bike storage building. Many
of the amenities that were intended to be completed at this time, are not in place, and
both the current residents and the City are concerned about the existing and future
condition of the property. The developer is requesting modifications to the community
amenity spaces in response to challenging financial conditions and deletion of one of the
units adjacent to the central amenity space. Project conditions include timelines and goals
in order to help ensure orderly development.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning Commission may include modifications to the proposed change
request and/or conditions of approval. Any proposed modifications including
conditions of approval, should be clearly re-stated in any vote on any of the
attached resolutions.
2. The Planning Commission may determine that more information is needed on
some aspect of the request and may refer the item back to the applicant and staff
to develop the additional information. The Commission should clearly state the
type of information that is required. A motion, and approval of that motion, is
required to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Planning Commission may deny the requested modification. The Commission
must specify what findings cannot be made, and provide a brief oral statement,
based on the Staff Report, oral testimony, site visit, correspondence, or any other
rationale introduced and deliberated by the Planning Commission. It is important
to note that the city cannot force construction of additional buildings but occupancy
on future units will be held to ensure the completion of any common landscaped
area adjacent po completed units.

I met with Jack and Ted on Friday the 18th and they told me about the options for decking or synthetic turf to go on the
root zone of the White Oak. When I began to educate them about the effect that would have on the tree they realized
that they would like to change the plan to treat the root zone as naturally as possible, creating the least disturbance to
as much of the root zone as is possible.
This really will be the only workable plan to be able to save the tree and all of its benefits.
They began to realize it was better to leave the root zone in as natural a state as possible, even repairing the presently
grade-changed area to the natural grade that existed pre-construction. Oak litter and freshly chipped tree chippings will
be used if any additional mulch will be needed to create a 3 inch mulch layer on top of the soil in all exposed areas of the
root zone.
They mentioned a non-machinery compacted base DG walkway through the root zone area which they will show on
their plans.
Synthetic turf anywhere near 40 feet of the trunk of the tree will absolutely stop the root activity underneath said turf
area due to the compacted base that needs to be created for synthetic turf installation. The tree would respond
negatively as a result and then would be at much higher risk of drought stress and eventual death.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything I can do.

DEV19-0049)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Planning Commission recommends City Council:
1. Introduce for first reading, by title only, Draft Ordinance approving Title 9 Zone Text
Amendments to the Planned Development Overlay Zone No. 27 (PD-27), based
on findings.
2. Adopt Draft Resolution, approving a Conditional Use Permit (Master Plan of
Development) and Vesting Tentative Tract Map (Tract 3141) based on findings
and subject to Conditions of Approval.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF:
The Grand Oaks Paseo micro community project consists of a new mixed-use, residential
and commercial project on the site of a previously approved mixed-use project. This new
development proposal includes an amendment to the previously established Planned
Development No. 27, a new Master Plan of Development and Vesting Tentative Tract Map.
The project includes a state density bonus request and is proposing three deed restricted
moderate-income units. In addition, an exception to Title 11 of the Municipal Code is
proposed to accommodate the small lot subdivision. A total of 30 residential units are
proposed in the project, 26 of which would be on individual lots with 4 of them above
commercial spaces close to El Camino Real. The previous project approval on this site
included 40 attached units. The project would be required to incorporate into the City’s
Community Facilities District (CFD) to help it get closer to fiscal neutrality.

Project History
The “Acacias” planned development was originally approved by the City Council in 2006,
and the site has remained vacant since. A Planned Development Overlay Zone No. 27
was created to allow for a custom mixed-use development that included commercial uses
facing El Camino Real and residential condominium units on the rear portion of the site .
Almost one half of the site (0.76-acre) on El Camino Real frontage retained the
Commercial Retail (CR) zoning designation and the back half of the site (0.95 acres) was

changed to Residential Multi-Family. This configuration was found to be in substantial
compliance with the City’s mixed-use policy, which specifies a goal of retaining 50% of
the project as commercial unless the project includes a significant community benefit. The
2004 City Council horizontal mixed-use policy is discussed in further detail later in this
report. Currently, the Tentative Subdivision Map and Conditional Use Permit have
expired; however, the 2006 zoning designations and PD 27 overlay zone remain in place.
The original “Acacias” project included 40 attached multi-family residential units, 6,498 square
feet of commercial retail space, and 2,166 square feet of office/indoor recreational space.
El Camino Court Site Plan – Approved 2006

The existing planned development does not allow for ground floor residential uses on the
commercially zoned portion of the property as currently proposed by the applicant. This
project proposes to amend the PD by expanding some additional residential uses within
the commercial portion of the site.
The existing topography, large oak trees and the mid-block location of the site may have
diminished the potential commercial viability of the property. The City’s General Plan
supports the development of mid-block locations with residential uses within the

commercial zone with the approval of a Use Permit. This development appears to meet the
General Plan goals and could help other nearby commercial properties become viable.
Development of the site with viable commercial uses is constrained by the following:
The site is not located within the commercial core.
The site is not within a commercial node.
The site does not contain sufficient flat land to support parking, accessibility, and
reasonable floor area.
The site backs up to residential uses.
There are several large oak trees that dominate the property.
While the current PD allows residential uses on the rear portion of the site, increases in
the amount of area devoted to residential use on the ground floor require an amendment
to the Planned Development. PD 27 currently allows for a maximum of 40 residential
units and 8,664 square-feet of commercial space (AMC 9-3.672) and refers to a
corresponding Master Plan of Development and Tentative Tract Map. The current
proposal, if approved, will amend all project components for consistency.
The Project concept of small-detached residential units, community living, and shared
open space would add to the variety of housing types in the City and provide individual
ownership of houses that are affordable by design without the limitations of a deed
restriction. These factors appear to support flexibility in the City Council policy for mixed-
use projects in the commercial districts that supply a “community benefit”.
The Design Review Committee (DRC) discussed the current project amendment on
November 28, 2018. The DRC made recommendations for minor modifications to the
proposed project, and voted to forward the proposal to the Planning Commission and City
Council for consideration. DRC direction on each project component is included in the
analysis below.
Analysis
The applicant is proposing to amend a previously approved site-specific Planned
Development (PD-27). The Planned Development Overlay allows for deviation in the
City’s development standards for setbacks, heights, parking, etc. in exchange for project
benefits that have been established by the City Council. Zoning amendments, a new
vesting tentative subdivision map, a new Master Plan of Development (CUP), and a
density bonus are required to approve the revised development plan.
The applicant is proposing 30 residential units, 26 of which are small-detached units with
the remaining four located above a commercial/office space. These upstairs residential
units are four separate residential units built above four separate ground floor office spaces.
The ground floor office spaces can function separately from the residential units and can
be separately accessed, however they can also be internally accessed from the residential
units by an internal stairway. Each of the office spaces are less than 400 square feet and
could function to serve a variety of small office or commercial businesses that are either
utilized by the residential tenant or separately leased. The project also includes a separate
1,900 square-foot community building that may be used for commercial uses.

The site is designed with a single driveway access from El Camino Real. There is a
parking area adjacent to the entry driveway to allow for guest and commercial patron
parking. A mixed-use live/work building and a community building are located adjacent to
El Camino Real providing a storefront appearance along the public street frontage. The
residential units are located along a looped access road with shared open space areas
developed with decks in the center surrounding existing mature oak trees. Additional
parking is provided along the access drive. There is also a solar carport structure that
provides tandem parking spaces for units without garages and can be used as a
community gathering space as needed. The project was designed to retain as many
mature oak trees as possible.
The project site is zoned Residential Multi-Family (24 units per acre max / 20 units per acre
minimum based on the average property slope of 9.6%) and Commercial retail (20 units
per acre max). The Atascadero Municipal Code requires a minimum density on multi-family
properties to ensure that adequate housing units are provided to meet City, regional, and
state goals. The minimum density for this site, based on split zoning, is 18 units. The
maximum density is 37 units based on the multi-family and commercial areas combined.
The project proposal of 30 housing units falls within this range. The previously approved
PD 27 language allows for a maximum of 40 units including any density bonus requests.

Site Plan Proposal
Native Tree Removal
One native tree is proposed for removal. The site has been designed to retain the
significant large oaks on-site. The tree proposed for removal is a 10” Live Oak and is
within the proposed access driveway.
Retaining Walls
Due to site topography, there is a significant elevation difference between the rear units
and the adjacent property to the east. The design team has accommodated this change
in grade by building the garages into the slope at the rear of the site, minimizing visual
impacts associated with a single vertical wall and allowing the finished grade to be raised
behind each unit.
Parking
There are 70 parking spaces provided throughout the site: 28 private carport spaces,
14 reserved resident tandem spaces, and 28 guest/commercial spaces. There are also
eight off-site parking spaces along El Camino Real. Using a worst case scenario with all
3-bedroom options chosen for units B, C, and D, the Atascadero Municipal Code requires
36 resident spaces, 6 guest spaces, and 4 spaces for the commercial uses for a total of
79 parking spaces. State law dictates the maximum parking ratio for density bonus
projects at one space per one-bedroom unit and two spaces for two- and three-bedroom
units. Under the provisions of state law, 64 parking spaces are required. The project
exceeds the minimum number of parking spaces required by state law.

Paving Materials
Decorative paving is proposed at the entry to the project and along the loop road.
Stamped or scored concrete is proposed adjacent to the mixed-use building and the
majority of the guest and commercial parking area.
The Fire Department requires that the one-way access road through the development be
a minimum of 20-feet wide. This accommodates the City’s ladder truck and stabilizers as
well as traffic evacuating the site. Because a 20-foot wide road appears wide enough for
two-way traffic, and to not detract from the pedestrian focus of the design concept, the
design team is proposing alternative materials that allow the full width to be accessible by
safety vehicles, but give the appearance of a narrower roadway. A contrasting pavement
material or pattern is proposed along the loop road in areas of parallel parking stalls and to
act as a pedestrian sidewalk when not needed for vehicular access during emergencies.
Buildings Setbacks
The project proposes a subdivision of the site to allow for individual ownership of each
residence on its own small lot. The “postage stamp” lots will provide space for each
residence, and will allow for the individual sale of each detached unit and ownership of
the land in fee. The Planned Development and documents recorded with the map will
govern common open space and site design standards, including limiting privacy fencing
in areas where fencing would conflict with the open community concept of the design. As
conditioned, privacy fencing would only be allowed for units that are adjacent to the rear
and side property lines. The center units would be prohibited from erecting privacy
fencing. Each unit is designed with a raised entry porch for private outdoor space. These
areas are raised to provide a sense of separation from the community space without solid
visual barriers.
While these setbacks to property lines are less than those normally required for standard
subdivisions, the PD overlay zone is designed to modify development standards to allow
for flexible and creative residential communities. Standard development setbacks are
maintained at the edges of the site to ensure compatibility with properties outside of the
development and open areas between units will be protected by documents recorded with
the map and the Master Plan of Development to ensure that the intent of the site design
is maintained over time.
Tentative Tract Map and Subdivision Ordinance Exception
A 32 lot tentative tract map is proposed with 26 residential lots, 4 live/work lots, a lot
underlying the community building, and one common lot. The live work lots accommodate
both the office/commercial space and the residence above. The commercial space can
be separately leased but not sold as an individual unit. In order to accommodate individual
small lots that are not along a public street, an exception to the subdivision ordinance
must be granted. Typically, this type of project would be considered a condominium;
however, in a condominium, owners do not own the land below their residence. In this
project, each lot would be separately owned, while the road and other common areas
would be owned in common by all of the owners. This is known as a common interest
subdivision. Currently, Title 11, Chapter 6, of the AMC requires that all lots front a public
road or be designed as a flag lot. To accommodate this project and its high quality
individual lot pattern, staff is suggesting that an exception be granted to allow for the
proposed small-lot configuration where each lot does not have frontage on a public road,
Page 38 of 183
Supplemental Information Packet
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 10/10/23
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 11/12/19
nor are they served by a flag lot. In this case, the commonly owned access road and open
space areas will act in the same capacity as a public road for the purposes of access and
utility connections. Exceptions to the subdivision ordinance can be granted by the
Planning Commission and City Council provided certain findings can be made. The
findings are included in the Draft Resolution (Attachment 2). The mixed-use project at the
front of the site would also be subdivided into individual ownership, with each of the 4
residential and attached office spaces subdivided as an airspace condominium.
Architectural Design
The project is designed with an agrarian theme with the residential units taking on a small
Craftsman cottage appearance. Materials include horizontal siding, corrugated metal,
standing seam metal roofing, concrete, faux wood-grain siding, and shingle roofing. All
buildings, including the residential units, are designed with varying roof forms and
undulating façade elements. Upper floors are smaller in floor area than lower floors to
allow for these varied roof forms and added visual interest.
Residential
The applicant is proposing a variety of detached one, two and three-story residential
designs ranging from 471 square-feet to 899 square-feet of living area. The units are
designed to be affordable-by-design due their small size, and the project will be deed
restricting three units at the moderate-income rate consistent with state law and City
Council policy. Units will be a combination of one, two, and three bedroom floor plans with
efficiently designed living spaces. Each unit is designed with private storage space and
laundry facilities. The units along the north and east property lines also include an
understory carport that is built into the slope and acts as a retaining wall at the rear of each
unit as discussed above. The proposed carports provide two private parking spaces each.
Mixed-Use
The proposed project also includes a mixed -use structure along the El Camino Real
frontage designed with residential units built above separately accessible office spaces
that are also internally attached via a stairway and access door. The structure includes
four commercial spaces on the ground floor with attached residential units on the second
floor. The offices will be level with El Camino Real and storefront access will be located
from the public sidewalk. Each of these mixed-use units would be available for separate
ownership, so each owner would own both residential and commercial space. The
commercial space can be separately leased but not sold as an individual unit.
The mixed-use building contains a tower feature that exceeds the maximum allowable
height by 2-feet. A finding has been included in the Draft Resolution (Attachment 2) to
allow for this exception.
Community Building
The project also includes a community building that has a commercial appearance and is
located along the El Camino Real frontage. Large windows face El Camino Real. The
building is accessed through the interior of the site and a stairway/ramp leading up from
El Camino Real. This provides a transition area from the public to the private domain
without solid visual barriers. The community building is proposed to be owned by the HOA
and could be used not only for internal community events, but could be made available
as an event or meeting space to the community at-large, or for a co-working space.

Solar Carport
The proposed project includes a shade structure, which can serve a variety of uses from
parking shelter and bike storage to a covered community gathering space. The structure
is taller to allow for this flexible space design and to allow for the units behind the structure
to be seen, providing a more aesthetic layering between the design elements. In addition,
solar panels are integrated in the roof of the structure and the additional height allows for
increased solar exposure.
The bike storage is housed in a tall tower at the side of the carport/shade structure
anchoring the structure and providing efficient bike storage for a minimum of 16 bikes.
Landscaping
The conceptual landscape plan includes street trees in the sidewalk and additional shade
trees placed strategically to avoid conflicts with the existing mature oak trees on-site. The
common areas include a mix of drought tolerant landscaping and synthetic turf. Decks
are included around the existing mature oak trees to provide a community amenity and
visually layered gathering space. Boulders and stepping stones are provided in key
locations and screening shrubs are located along the edges of the site. The retaining
walls at the rear and side of the site are stepped to avoid a single vertical wall.
Signage
The design team is proposing signage for both the commercial potion of the development
and the residential community. Signage facing El Camino Real includes a roof mounted
project name sign and areas for individual tenant signs. The Atascadero Municipal Code
Bike Storage

prohibits roof-mounted signs; however, many members of the DRC believed that the
signage added character to the building and was tastefully done. Staff has added
language to the proposed overlay zone text allowing for this exception.
Additional community signage is proposed on the sides of the mixed -use building facing
the El Camino Real plaza space and the vehicular entry drive. A community message
board is integrated into the side of the bike storage tower.
Community Mural
The design team is proposing to incorporate art into the community. The current concept
is to include a mural on the blank commercial wall of the adjacent San Jacinto Center.
This concept would heighten the aesthetics of the project and would minimize the impacts
of the existing interface between the commercial center and the project site. Any wall
mural in this location would require approval of the adjacent property owner and would
need to be reviewed by the City to ensure that it reflects an appropriate non -commercial
message.
Traffic & Frontage Improvements
Frontage improvements for the amended project include replaced sidewalk with
in-sidewalk tree installation similar to the Downtown street tree pattern. This allows for
the commercial buildings to directly front the sidewalk and create a pedestrian oriented
space.
The proposed project includes 30 residential units, which is less intense than the 40 units
previously approved as part of the original “Acacias” development. In addition,
commercial square-footage has been reduced from 8,700 to 4,400 square-feet.
Therefore, traffic impacts will be reduced compared to the original project impact. The
project has been reviewed by the City Engineer and no additional traffic related
improvements are required.
Planned Development Benefit Policy
The applicant is proposing to amend a previously approved Planned Development No.
27. Planned Developments allow for deviation in the City’s standards for setbacks,
heights, minimum lot size, etc. in exchange for community benefits that have been

established by the City Council. The Planned Development Policy requires certain
benefits be provided in order to warrant the granting of special or modified development
standards. The benefit chart is shown below.

The Planning Commission and City Council must find that the amended project provides
all Tier 1 benefits, including high quality landscape and architectural design, in order to
approve the Planned Development amendment. The DRC found that the proposed project
meets the required benefits related to high quality architectural and landscape design.
Inclusionary Housing & Affordable Housing Density Bonus
The City Council has an interim inclusionary affordable housing policy that requires a
percentage of units within residential developments that require a legislative approval to
be reserved as deed-restricted affordable units. Providing affordable housing is also one
of the mandatory Tier 1 benefits of the City Council’s Planned Development Policy.
The City’s policy asks that 20% of the project units are deed restricted for moderate
income households. The Project will include three deed restricted units and the remainder
of the units will not be deed restricted, but will be available for prices that are
commensurate with the guidelines that establish prices for moderately affordable housing.
The overall project will meet the standard of being “affordable by design” and will have
the benefit of allowing property owners to have some upward mobility without the
constraint of a deed restriction. This project will potentially fall into a category of being
100% affordable.
It is anticipated that 100% of the units will sell at or below the moderate-income rate based
on the community design concept and the efficient size of the units. An affordable -by-
design project allows first-time homebuyers to invest in property and benefit from future
appreciation without limitations on future sales prices.
Staff believes that the applicant’s proposal complies with the City’s inclusionary housing
policy and actually voluntarily exceeds the required thresholds for affordability even
though only 10% of the project will actually be deed restricted .

City Council Mixed-Use Policy:
In June 2004, the City Council met to discuss requirements for mixed-use projects.
A consensus was reached at that meeting on the following:
The projects should be integrated to the extent possible to produce a "mixed-use"
development as opposed to blocks or strips of different development types.
The projects need to be on vacant land and not be residential infill of commercial
property unless there is significant reinvestment in the commercial portion.
The Council's goal is that 50% of the project is commercial. If less than 50% the
project must include significant community benefit.
The commercial portion of the property must be completed prior to or concurrent
with the residential portion.
The Tausig fee model shall be applied to the residential portion of the project.
The commercial portion of any mixed-use project shall not include ministorage or
other non-retail sales tax generating uses except that offices could be permitted.
These policies apply to new horizontal mixed-use project applications. The originally
approved mixed-use project met the intent of the Council’s Policy by locating a
commercial building and project parking on the forward half of the site with the
40 residential units located on the rear portion of the site in attached multi-story buildings.
The project was approved in February of 2006 and has remained vacant.
The General Plan currently supports allowing residential multi-family developments within
the commercial retail-zoning district at mid-block locations where prime retail is not
desirable or viable. The policy required Conditional Use Permit approval for such
requests. This site’s topography, tree cover, access and visibility create challenges for
the development of a large scale retail or commercial project. While overall the Project
does not meet the Council goal of 50% commercial use, the affordability of the Project
does provide significant community benefit.
Tentative Tract Map
A new 32 lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (Tract 3141) is proposed. The Vesting
Tentative Map has been conditioned by staff to meet City standards. The applicant will
be required to record CC&R’s with the final map that will include maintenance provisions
for all community property and improvements throughout the proposed development as
needed. Annexation to the CFD will also be required prior to recordation of final map.
Planned Development Overlay No. 27 Amendment
The proposed project amendment application requires amending the Planned
Development No. 27 code text in the Municipal Code in order to modify the unit count and
project requirements. Staff has included proposed language that will ensure continued
maintenance and shared use of the common area are consistent with the Master Plan of
Development. A list of allowable uses for the live/work and community building has been
included to ensure compatibility with the residential portion of the project and provide
flexibility for the community space.
General Plan Land Use and Zoning Map Amendments
Because the General Plan allows for approval of multi -family residential projects within
the Commercial retail zone, no amendments are proposed to the General Plan Land Use
Page 43 of 183
Supplemental Information Packet
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 10/10/23
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 11/12/19
Diagram or the Zoning Map. Development of the site will be governed by the PD-27
overlay zone and the associated adopted Master Plan of Development.
Conclusion
The proposed project is a unique concept focusing on an affordable -by-design housing
product designed with a community focus. The project provides 30 residential units that
range from 471 square-feet of living area to 889 square-feet. Common areas include
landscaped outdoor amenities, a community building, and retention of the existing native
oak trees to the greatest extent possible. Live work units are designed to provide rentable
or home office spaces on the ground floor facing El Camino Real.
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve the project as
conditioned.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Acacias Development in 2005. That
environmental document was certified by the City Council during original project approval.
City staff has reviewed this document and determined that the current project, as proposed,
does not increase impacts as analyzed. In fact, the current project scope includes a
reduction in the number of residential units and a reduction of commercial intensity.
An updated archeological review and site survey was completed by the applicant team
and no additional resources were discovered. The project will comply with the Mitigation
Monitoring Program established by the previously certified Negative Declaration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on findings from the 2003 Taussig Study, revenue from new residential
development including property tax revenues, vehicle licensing fees, sales taxes, and
other revenues are insufficient to cover the maintenance and emergency services costs
of new development. Based on the revenue projections from the Taussig Study, the City
has developed standard conditions of approval for new development projects that require
the cost of maintenance and emergency services to be funded by the project through
annexation into the existing community facilities district (CFD). The proposed project will
be required to establish a Homeowners Association or other similar mechanism to
maintain the developments roadways, common area landscaping, drainage, etc.
Conditions of approval have been included in the attached Master Plan of Development
and Map resolutions.
FINDINGS:
To recommend approval of the proposed project, findings are required to be made by the
City Council. The City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance identify the specific findings
that must be made to approve the zoning text amendments, the conditional use permit,
and the tentative tract map. Findings and the facts to support these findings are included
in the Draft Resolution (Attachment 2).

ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council may determine that more information is needed on some aspect
of the project or that changes need to be made to the code text language or
conditions of approval and may refer the item back to the applicant and staff to
develop the additional information. The Council should clearly state the type of
information that is required. A motion, and approval of that motion, is required to
continue the item to a future date.
2. The City Council may deny the project. The Council must specify what findings
cannot be made, and provide a brief oral statement, based on the staff report, oral
testimony, site visit, correspondence, or any other rationale introduced and
deliberated by the Council. If the proposed project amendment were to be denied,
the previously approved Planned Development No. 27 and associated Master Plan
of Development would remain in place for the site.

FINDING: Modification of development standards or processing requirements of
the zoning ordinance through the PD overlay will enhance the opportunity to best
utilize special characteristics of an area and will have a beneficial effect on the area.
FACT: The Planned Development 27 overlay text modifies standard development
requirements to allow for amixed-use residential and commercial project. Modified
standards for the development enable the unit count and site design as proposed by
the applicant.
FINDING: Benefits derived from the Planned Development Overlay Zone cannot
be reasonably achieved through existing development standards or processing
requirements.
FACT: The Planned Development Overlay Zone 27 ensures that development
within the area provide certain benefit as identified by Council Policy.
Development under the PD-27 standards will maintain and enhance neighborhood
character and provide transition between commercial and single-family uses.
FINDING: Proposed plans offer certain redeeming features to compensate for
requested modifications of the Planned Development Overlay Zone.
FACT: City Council Planned Development Policy requires project benefits such as

basins, Detention basins, and Subsurface Infiltration Basins. In all cases, the Project Engineer shall
provide evidence that the basin will completely drain within 72 hours, to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer.
Retention Basin. Any drainage basin which is used as a terminal disposal facility shall be classified as
a retention basin.
a. Basin Capacity. The basin capacity is to be based on the theoretical runoff from a 50-year
storm, 10-hour intensity for 10-hour duration. No reduction in required capacity shall be
given for soil percolation rates.
b. Percolation Test Required. A minimum of 3 percolation tests per basin shall be submitted
to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to approval of the plans. The project
engineer shall submit calculations and a report demonstrating the basin will drain within
seven-days of a single storm event as noted above. Deep soil borings may be required in
areas where there is concern of shallow depth to groundwater or bedrock. Percolation
tests shall be performed at depths below the basin bottom.
Detention Basin. Any drainage basin which has a downstream outlet designed to meter the outflow
shall be classified as a detention basin. Basin capacity shall be based on receiving the runoff from a
50-year storm with the watershed in its fully-developed condition, and releasing the flow equivalent
to the runoff from a 2-year storm with the project site in its pre- development condition. The outlet
shall release water in a non-erosive manner.
Subsurface Infiltration Basins. Subsurface basins may be used for either retention or detention of site
runoff, where their application is suitable for project conditions. Subsurface basins shall be limited to
locations where the depth to seasonally high groundwater is greater than 10-feet below the deepest
portion of the basin.
Drain Rock. Drain rock shall be clean, crushed granite (or clean, angular rock of similar approved
hardness) with rock size ranging from 1-1/2-inch to 3/4-inch. Rock gradation shall conform to the
Specification of ASTM C-33 #4.

A Mixed Use Residential Live/Work Community
4711 El Camino Real, Atascadero, CA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed Project is a mixed-use residential community which includes 26 detached
single-family residential units, 4 live-work units, and an approximately 1900 square foot
community building. Located along El Camino Real, the live work units will front the
street with a ground floor office space and will create an urban streetscape interface
along the El Camino Real Corridor.
The proposed project is intended to provide 100% of the units as moderate priced (or
below) “for-sale” housing by design and includes a tentative tract map of 32 lots (26
single family lots, four (4) Live-work mixed use lots, one (1) commercial parcel and one
1) common area parcel).
The Project design strives to preserve the heritage oaks on the property and create an
agrarian and colonial cottage character that aligns with Atascadero’s history. The site
design includes the central open space area for community activities and opportunities
for the residents to engage socially.

Project History
The “Grand Oaks Paseo” Mixed-use Planned Development project site was approved
by the City Council as Planned Development #27 in 2008. The project was approved for
a mixed-use residential project. It was not constructed. The approved project includes
the following components:
multi-family condo units (40)
8,000 square-feet of commercial
The proposed Project includes the following modifications to the previous planned
development approval: a decrease in total density from 40 condo units to 26 detached
cottage sized” single family residential units, a 1900 sf community building, and 4 Live-
work units with approximately 2200 sf of commercial office space. The Project also
includes a carport/bike parking structure which will support community solar panels.
Project Objective
The core project objective is to provide moderately priced “for sale” housing (rather than
apartment rental housing options) by design to allow for attainable home ownership as a
benefit to the residents and community of Atascadero. Because the Project is designed
to be moderately priced, the project effectively complies with the State Density bonus
law. Certain benefits are afforded projects which include at least 10% of the units as
moderately priced units. By design Grand Oaks Paseo exceeds this minimum. This will
require specific exceptions to development standards such as lot sizes, setbacks,
parking standards, etc. Hence the proposal is to amend the previously approved site-

specific Planned Development (PD #27.) The Planned Development Overlay allows for
deviation in the City’s standards for setbacks, heights, parking, etc. in exchange for
project benefits that have been established by the City Council. The project strives to
both meet a specific housing need without cumbersome financial subsidies, deed
restrictions, etc. and achieve a thoughtful mid-block commercial component along the El
Camino Real corridor.
Project Concept
The proposed site plan is the result of an intentional effort to work with the natural site
terrain, preserve the Heritage Oaks and to create a sense of place and community
within the context of the General Plan and Zoning for the site which calls for a mixed -
use community, by integrating the commercial – residential in such a way that Grand
Oaks Paseo becomes a destination where residents experience a strong sense of
community artfully integrated into the El Camino Real commercial corridor . The project’s
commercial live-work units on the El Camino Real commercial corridor are part of the
Grand Oaks Paseo community. Also proposed is a community building (approximately
1900 sf) that is situated on the site to visually integrate with the commercial street
frontage along the corridor. Within the interior of the community there are shared
amenities and common space such as walking paths, community gardens, fire -pits,
bocci court, BBQ and picnic areas with shade covered decks and seating areas for
gathering and relaxation.
The Project also strives toward sustainability with the provision of covered parking with
solar panels, on site storm water retention and other site development features such as
drought tolerant landscape and permeable surfaces.
Mid-Block Commercial
Recognizing the limited viability for mid -block retail commercial uses along this reach of
the El Camino Real corridor, the commercial component of this project provides 4 live-
work spaces for the City of Atascadero and a community building that will serve to
economically benefit the residents and their guests at the Grand Oaks Paseo
development. The live-work space is a modernized concept of the individual
professional work space attached to owner/operator living quarters. Live-work is
designed to provide an efficient workspace for small business and individual owner
operators, while reducing the combined monthly cost of living and workspace
rents/ownership. The workspace portion of the live -work units fronts El Camino Real
and the living space is located above the workspace.
The Grand Oaks Paseo Live Work commercial space is located both mid-block and at
the northern end of the El Camino Real corridor and could potentially prove difficult to
lease to local retail/restaurant businesses. The live-work component of this project both
integrates the commercial component into the overall community and sets up a well-
positioned opportunity for successful office use.

The 4 live-work units provide approximately 4,000 SF of living space and 2,200 SF of
office space. These 4 units will benefit the community as they reduce the necessity to
commute, provide savings to operator which produces more economically viable
business, reduction of commercial space vacancy, and provides attainable housing.
Live-work units provide a clear differentiation between work area and living area unlike
home offices and provides a clear commercial frontage to El Camino Real.
In addition, along the El Camino Real frontage there is an approximately 1900 SF
community building managed by the homeowners association to provide scheduled
programming activities which may include live music, art shows, poetry readings, crafts,
classes, workshops etc. for the residents and their guests.
Affordable Housing
Grand Oaks Paseo project will provide an affordable home ownership opportunity and
solution that meets state and county affordable housing standards for moderate priced
for sale” housing while also creating a highly desirable community focused on
sustainability and quality of living. As noted above, the Project is designed to be 100%
moderately priced “for sale” housing. As a result, the project effectively complies with
the State Density bonus law. Under this law, certain benefits are afforded projects which
include a minimum of 10% of the units as moderately priced units. By design Grand
Oaks Paseo exceeds this minimum.
Achieving an affordable design solution is accomplished by providing an alternative
housing product to today’s common affordable housing solutions. This means that each
component of the project is designed to be affordable and provide attainable “work
force” housing to compete with market rate prices while fostering local economic
benefits of home ownership. This is in contrast to today’s common affordable housing
solution which is typically met with affordable apartment developments which are often
owned by out of town operators/companies. The out of town apartment operator drains
the equity from both the local economy and the working-class resident who must deal
with the stress of providing for his/her family in this high cost rental market and must
compete with constant force of inflationary housing cost.
The main economic driving force impacting the affordability of housing on the Central
Coast is the availability and type of housing which drives up the overall cost of housing
in comparison to the average working adults proportionate individual take home
pay. This cost is exceeding approximately 60% to 70% or residents' current wages,
which exceeds the national average by more than a factor of 8 according to a recent
study provided by the Joint Center of Housing Studies research center at Harvard
University which has completed a comprehensive price to income ratio analysis.
The proposed Project’s preliminary sales price per unit is at or below the current May 6
2019 county affordable housing standards. This is illustrated in the chart below:

Site Plan and Parking
The proposed project is designed to meet the state’s moderate -income housing index
with all the units. Therefore, the project complies with the State Density bonus
provisions which set specific parking requirements for projects providing 10% or more of
moderate priced units. The project is in compliance with current state parking
requirements as part of the PD approval. These include the following:
One Bedroom Unit – 1 parking stall
Two to Three Bedroom Unit – 2 parking stalls
As such, the project will accept the 10% moderate income housing requirement and will
strive to provide moderate income pricing for ALL units
Landscaping
The Grand Oaks Paseo strives to enhance the character and quality of the development
by creating a landscape that respects the climate and natural features of the site.
Drought tolerant landscaping and Mediterranean plant species will enhance landscape
and respect the nature of oak woodland habitat. Common open space areas, including
the space adjacent to the Community building, preserve the existing heritage oak trees
and focus community gathering and engagement under the large canopies. Typical
private yards for the single family cottages are very limited with the reduced lot and
home sizes, therefore, the central community gathering areas promote social
engagement and interaction which are important key principles in creating a sense of
place and established community pride. The common open space area includes shared
amenities, such as community gardens along walking paths, fire pits, BBQ and picnic
areas on raised decks under the oak trees, and seating areas. The natural slope of the
site provides an opportunity for a hill slide and bouldering area for kids and adults to
stop and play. The common area plaza adjacent to the Community building provides a
shared community space for residents and their guests to enjoy the multi-use
community building and flexible use space outside under a large oak tree canopy. A
raised deck provides the opportunity for community engagement and respite under the
shade and overlook onto the plaza below. Each cottage will include a planter box for

growing fresh produce in addition to communal planter boxes. Sharing produce, cut
flowers, and ownership of these beds will enhance the social equity and sense of
community important to the Grand Oaks Paseo neighborhood. The perimeter of the
project landscaping will provide vines and columnar shrubs to help screen and soften
the edges adjacent to fences and retaining walls.
Mural
The neighboring commercial building to the south of the project lies on the property line,
creating a large wall that could be difficult to screen. The Grand Oaks Paseo concept is
to turn this wall into an opportunity, creating a beautiful mural the community can be
proud of. It is the intent of the project proponents to engage the adjoining
building/property owner to collaborate on this opportunity, securing their approval. This
mural provides the opportunity for community engagement and an art piece to celebrate
the Atascadero community history, the heritage oak trees, and the regions cultural
history.
HOA/CCR’s
The onsite common areas including the green spaces, pathways, decks, community
building , gardens, firepits, streets, and street lighting shall be maintained by the
residential Homeowners Association (HOA).The proposed HOA monthly fees are to
be set as low as possible to minimize the residence overall cost of housing and will be
well below the national average. The HOA will also allow an opportunity for the
residents to participate in the monthly care and maintenance sharing program for the
common areas to reduce their individual monthly HOA payments.
The community Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) will focus on providing
for a safe, clean, intentional community centered around home ownership with the goal
of maintaining owner occupied housing while enhancing the community’s property value
and overall quality of life. The CCRs will require that the purchase, sale, and transfer of
any residential properties to be owner occupied.
