DISCUSSION:
Project Description / Summary
The subject site at 6005 El Camino Real is approximately 0.45 acres in size. The site is
located at the southeast intersection of El Camino Real and Traffic Way and is developed
with an existing three-story hotel (The Carlton Hotel). The applicant is propo sing a
remodel that will modify some of the exterior façade and existing uses/spaces on the first
and second floors of the hotel. The proposal includes the addition of nine guest rooms on
the ground floor, two guest rooms on the second floor, conversion of the existing
restaurant into a market distillery, conversion of the existing café into a separate
bar/restaurant and bakery, and conversion of an existing conference space into a
speakeasy. The hotel and café entrances face El Camino Real, and the restaur ant
entrance faces the corner of the intersection. All parking for the hotel is located offsite at
the northeast intersection of El Camino Real and Traffic Way.

The DC Zoning District intends to enhance the downtown economic viability and
pedestrian-oriented character by encouraging a range of uses, including restaurants,
entertainment facilities, lodging, and retail shops.
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for hotel uses in the DC zoning district. The
Planning Commission will be considering the applicant's request to amend/modify the
existing CUP to expand the existing hotel operations.

Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
Analysis
The applicant's proposal maintains most of the existing exterior façade finishes and color
scheme, adds a glass block or opaque glass with art installations window treatments, and
black metal frame motorized bi-fold storefronts along the north façade (Traffic Way). The
applicant proposes to add black metal planters below the storefronts and a gr een wall art
installation along the existing columns to enhance the pedestrian experience along the
Traffic Way frontage while providing additional privacy for the ground-floor guest rooms.
The existing windows and doors along the El Camino Real façade will remain unchanged.
The applicant is also evaluating the feasibility of adding a parklet along a portion of Traffic
Way to support pedestrian activity by providing the public and guests with an accessible
outdoor amenity to encourage further public awareness and activation of the street. The
parklet design inspiration includes teak wood decking and benches with decorative black
metal planters.
Ground Floor Guest Rooms
The proposed addition of ground-floor guest rooms presents some unique design
challenges because the privacy needs of the guest conflict with the high percentage of
glass that would typically be encouraged for ground-floor uses downtown. The applicant
proposes to balance the competing objectives by introducing art and landscape to provide
guest room privacy while maintaining the architectural rhythm, proportions, and character
of the existing building façade. Although the proposed ground floor use will no longer be
solely retail, the applicant’s proposal to retain a storefront design can encourage
shopping, increase a sense of security, and generate pedestrian activity.
Staff and the applicant have met extensively to determine a path forward that respects
the need for ground floor activation with the applicant’s desire for additional rooms and
reduced restaurant and retail space to respond to changing trends. The initial proposal
included the entire Traffic Way façade converted to guest rooms however, staff believed
that this was not a viable option to maintain active pedestrian engagement along Traffic
Way. The applicant also highlighted challenges with the building inclu ding floor elevation
differences between the sidewalk and interior of the existing restaurant space. As you
move northward on Traffic Way, the finished floor elevation of the existing restaurant is
approximately 2 feet above sidewalk level, making it difficult to create smaller commercial
tenant spaces facing Traffic Way.
The compromise proposed by the applicant includes approximately 50% of the Traffic
Way frontage converted to private guest suites. The remainder of the space is reserved
for commercial use and could be attached to the retail/distillery space at the corner or
could be a space utilized for the hotel gym or other more active associated uses. These
spaces include the replacement of the existing non-operable storefront windows with
operable bi-fold doors to allow patrons to interact directly with the space from the adjacent
sidewalk and encourage spillover of seating onto the Traffic Way sidewalk and potential
parklet.

To maintain a more activated storefront where guestrooms are proposed, the applicant is
proposing 2 options for consideration. Both options include the addition of greenery as a
layering element that will provide movement along the façade. Option “A” includes
replacing the storefront windows with geometric glass blocks. Option “B” includes opaque
glass with art installations. The art material is designed to filter light through the rooms
while blocking visual intrusion from the exterior.

Green Wall Art with Planters, and Bifold Storefront
The design options include storefront materials that complement the materials used on
adjacent buildings. The number of different wall materials proposed is limited to clear
glass, glass block (transom), exterior plaster, cut stone (cast stone and ceramic tiles
(bulkhead). The renderings and material choices represent a coordinated color sc heme
14
ITEM 3
Carlton Hotel Remodel
USE 24-0019 / Carlton
Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
that responds to the style of the structure. Painted trim colors should complement base
colors. The colors of signing, awnings, planters, accent materials, and primary façade
color choices should all be cohesive.
The applicant’s design options incorporate original design features into the new storefront
and create a harmonious background.
Historic Context
The Carlton Hotel is considered part of the historic fabric of Atascadero. While a
significant remodel and restoration effort occurred in the early 2000’s, the basic form and
fabric of the exterior facades maintained the historic character of the building. The
proposed modifications are limited to storefront window changes and will maintain the
historic rhythm and overall appearance while adding contemporary elements that provide
contrast to the overall historic theme. These changes are consistent with guid elines for
historic remodels.
Awnings
A prominent feature of the existing building is the use of black awnings along the ground -
floor façade. The existing awnings effectively respond to the scale, proportion, and rhythm
created by existing structural bay elements and nestle into the space crea ted by the
structural bay. The existing awning shape relates to the existing window and door opening
and will not have internal illumination. The applicant’s design options retain the existing
awnings along El Camino Real and the Traffic Way window bays where the proposed
ground floor guest rooms will be.
Parking
Parking is not required for accessory uses within the hotel, such as the existing restaurant,
café, bakery, and the proposed market and distillery. Parking is required by section 9 -
4.114 for transient lodging at a rate of 2 spaces, plus 1 per unit, plus 1 per 10 units. The
proposal includes eleven additional guest rooms (nine on the ground floor and two on the
second floor), resulting in the requirement for 12 additional parking spaces. The applicant
will be requesting the parking requirement be modified by the Planning Commission
through the Conditional Use Permit process based on specific findings of fact that the
characteristics of the use or its immediate vicinity do not necessitate the number of
parking spaces and that reduced parking will be adequate to accommodate on the site all
parking generated by the existing and proposed uses.
Public Spaces – Parklet
Public spaces associated with buildings in the Downtown should provide an attractive
transition from the outside to the inside of buildings, be complementary to the buildings,
and be supportive of pedestrian activity. These spaces should be extensions of the public
space/sidewalk by providing pedestrian amenities, such as benches, and continuing the
pavement treatment to indicate the space is available to all pedestrians. The applicant
has provided conceptual parklet inspiration for Traffic Way as a way to further engage
pedestrians and create a visual statement as well as expand the area for use by the
adjacent commercial tenant spaces. The conceptual parklet includes features such as
15
ITEM 3
Carlton Hotel Remodel
USE 24-0019 / Carlton
Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
planters and seating to provide space for patrons of the café and general store as well as
the general public. The feasibility of a parklet will require additional review by the City
Engineer before it can be pursued by the applicant. Any added parklet in this location will
need to maintain safe traffic flow and respond to pedestrian safety needs.
Sign Materials
The applicant is encouraged to use a combination of original and modern materials that
enhance the unique quality of downtown when new or replacement signage is proposed.
All sign materials should complement the character of the business identified and the
buildings they are mounted on. Externally illuminated signs are encouraged.
DRC DISCUSSION ITEMS:
The following are discussion items for the DRC. Staff recommends that the DRC provide
direction and move the project forward to the Planning Commission.
1. Proposed window treatment options for the ground floor guest rooms (i.e.,
Is there a preferred window treatment design option?)
2. Proposed bifold storefronts for the Market Distillery (i.e., Is the proposed
bifold storefront compatible with the existing building exterior and
prominent corner entry?)
3. Proposed color and material changes – (i.e., Are the proposed colors and
materials compatible with the existing building’s exterior?)
4. Proposed artistic green wall and planters (i.e., Do the green wall and planters
create a balance between guest room privacy and pedestrian activity on
Traffic Way?)
Staff Recommendations
The architectural features of the remodel are in keeping with the property’s surroundings,
and staff have no significant aesthetic concerns. Staff recommends the following
conditions:
1. Colors and materials must match those depicted in the submitted elevations.
2. New wall signs shall be individual letters designed to match or complement existing
signage. All signage shall be required to comply with all applicable Atascadero
Municipal Code standards at the time of building permit submittal. The “Carlton
Hotel” roof-mounted historic sign and the “Carlton” projecting wall sign shall
remain.
3. Existing and new storefront frames/trims shall be integral colors and shall match
or complement one another.
4. Replace and/or repair any damaged awnings.
5. Any parklet shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. Should a parklet

Summary
The applicant is proposing a remodel of the interior and exterior of The Carlton Hotel on
El Camino Real to address changes in the hospitality industry. While most structural
elements will remain unchanged, the proposal includes aesthetic changes to the building
façade and the existing uses on the ground and second floors.
Remodeling downtown buildings provides an excellent means of maintaining and
reinforcing the character and image desired in Atascadero. Renovation increases
property values in the area and inspires other property owners and designers to make
similar efforts.
When an existing structure is renovated, care and effort should be taken to complete the
work in a manner that respects the original design character of the structure. The design
guidelines highlighted in this staff report are to be implemented where appro priate.
