REPORT IN BRIEF: The City Council has budgeted over $3.5 million over the next two years for the design and construction of the Streetscape Phase II projects. These projects include streetscape, street lighting and wayfinding. This is based on over 7 years of planning, study and public input. Through a public input process, areas and elements for the Streetscape Phase II projects have been identified and conceptual plans of the improvements created. Staff is requesting the City Council provide direction on the conceptual plans with input from the public, Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Main Street. Based on this direction, staff will finalize the design and bring the projects to construction. DISCUSSION: Background: The City Council approved the Atascadero Downtown Revitalization Plan on July 25, 2000. The purpose of The Downtown Revitalization Plan is to: • Implement the City's General Plan and Redevelopment Plan with a detailed focus on the Downtown Area; • Develop a community consensus on an overall vision for the Downtown Area; • Coordinate public and private investments in the area to realize the vision; and 2 • Enhance the Downtown's character with public improvements constructed using approved streetscape design elements. The first implementation project in the Revitalization Plan was the Downtown Streetscape Phase I on EI Camino Real from Traffic Way to West Mall. Streetscape Improvements are designed and constructed to calm vehicle traffic, improve pedestrian and bicycle access, enhance aesthetics and make Downtown Atascadero a desirable place to visit. Elements of Atascadero Streetscape are medians, bulb outs, enhanced sidewalks, decorative streetlights, benches, urns, trash cans, street trees and other elements. The City Council approved the specific design elements for Atascadero Streetscape on September 24, 2002 (see Exhibit A) and Streetscape Phase I improvements were completed in December 2004. These design elements were also used in the Sunken Gardens and the Lewis Ave Bridge Projects. The City Council endorsed the Implementation Strategy for the Atascadero Downtown Revitalization Plan March 8, 2005. This Strategy provides for a phasing of improvements and approved a Downtown Revitalization Plan Vision that maps out conceptual improvements in the Downtown (see Exhibit B). This Strategy listed specific Goals and Priorities, which apply to Streetscape, Phase II as follows: Goals • Establish a safe, pedestrian friendly scale and character that distinguishes Downtown Atascadero from other commercial areas in the City. • Improve the Downtown circulation system for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. • Improve the appearance of El Camino Real and reduce its impact as a pedestrian barrier through traffic calming measures. Priority • Install street lighting improvements to improve pedestrian safety and security. • Install streetscape improvements to improve pedestrian safety and provide traffic calming. The City Council approved the Wayfinding Program on February 27, 2007. This program will help visitors to identify the Downtown and where specific areas are. The Program features Entry Arches, Community Entry Markers, Interchange Monuments and Pedestrian Wayfinding Signs (see Exhibit C). With these goals and priorities in mind, the City Council budgeted over $3.5 million for Downtown Streetscape Phase II, street lighting and wayfinding improvements in the 2007-2009 Budget. The Council directed staff on a public input process for determining Downtown Streetscape Phase II project areas and elements. The process consisting of a kick-off meeting with Main Street, a Downtown walking tour, follow up meetings with Main Street to review specific improvements and elements and finally a Town Hall Meeting, where the City Council will select the improvements and elements of 3 Downtown Streetscape Phase II. The Town Hall Meeting was well advertised and members of the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Main Street, Chamber of Commerce, and attendees of the other meetings were invited directly. When the Town Hall process is completed Staff will begin producing the plans, specification and engineer's estimates for the selected projects. Staff will bring a report to Council on the final designs and construction cost estimates after it is completed. Based on this information Council can decide which projects to build. Analysis: The kick-off meeting with Main Street was a brainstorming session looking at "what if" ideas for the Downtown. Main Street identified areas and projects that the members believed would be appropriate and desirable for the Downtown area. The Downtown walking tour visited all the sites identified in the Main Street kick-off meeting and was well attended. The goal of the walking tour was to further refine the identified areas so conceptual designs could be generated. After the tour, the group moved to the Carlton to capture input on elements in the Project areas (see Exhibit D). The conceptual designs were presented to Main Street for further input and consensus. The projects presented below are a result of many hours of successful collaboration between the public, Main Street and staff. El Camino Real Gateway Enhancements @ Rosario Ave: The Gateway Enhancements gained popular consensus among all participants during our outreach. Participants and staff believed it was important to improve the downtown gateway areas in order to visually convey that you are entering the downtown core. In addition, the improvements will help calm traffic in this area. The Rosario Gateway Enhancements are shown on Exhibit E and consists of: 1. New bulbouts to calm traffic on southbound and northbound EI Camino Real. This is the first potential location for a Downtown EI Camino Real Entry Arch per the Wayfinding Program (see Entry Arch, Exhibit L). The City has only enough funding for one Entry Arch in this budget. 2. New trees and plants along the freeway and Police Department wall. All new plantings will be drought, heat and cold tolerant to the extent practical. The plantings along the top of the Police Department wall will cover the fence and wall, softening it and attenuating sound and heat. 3. New planted medians with pavers to soften EI Camino Real and calm traffic. 4. A brick, paver or stamped concrete paved area prior to the entry feature. This will create a visual feature that you will both feel and hear in a vehicle. This will create a sense that you are entering Downtown. 5. New bus shelter area on north and southbound sides of EI Camino Real. Replace or remove existing Cobra style street lights and install new light at bus shelter. V 4 El Camino Real Pedestrian Access Enhancements @ Virginia Plaza: The EI Camino Real pedestrian access enhancements will be installed at the location of the existing crosswalk and are shown on Exhibit F and consist of: 1 . New bulbouts will be installed with ADA accessible ramps to shorten the path of travel for pedestrians crossing El Camino Real and providing traffic calming by narrowing of the travel way. The bulbouts will be installed in the parking area and bicycles will be provided a class III bike route. El Camino Real Enhancements @ Traffic Way: The El Camino Real and Traffic Way improvements are shown on Exhibit G and consist of: 1 . New landscaped median with pavers. Ei Camino Real Enhancements (Rosario Ave to Traffic Way): The EI Camino Real Enhancements along this section consist of: 1 . New and replacement Reywood Ash street trees will be installed. The new street trees will have irrigation and watering systems to provide healthy trees that do not lift up the sidewalk. 2. New street light installed on the west side of EI Camino Real. 3. Elements from the Wayfinding Program, including: pedestrian signs, entry arch and vehicle information signs will be included where appropriate. 4. Striped class III bike route. 5. Repave EI Camino Real from Rosario to Traffic Way. Traffic Way @ Palma Ave Enhancements: The Traffic Way @ Palma Ava enhancements are shown on Exhibit H and consist of: 1 . New sidewalk from Palma Ave. north along the buildings to the end of new bulbout. This sidewalk is old and cracked and its height above the curb is greater than the current standard 6" design. This will also allow drainage improvements to remove puddling and paving improvements to obtain a better road cross slope. 2. Install new ADA sidewalk ramps on Palma Ave. north to enhance pedestrian access. 3. Install new street trees and replace existing mismatched trees with Ornamental Evergreen Pears. Install a new deep watering system to all trees for irrigation purposes. 4. Install new bulbouts at Palma Ave. south on both side of Traffic Way to enhance pedestrian crossing and induce traffic calming by means of lane narrowing. The existing bike lanes will be retained. The bulbout on the north side of Traffic way will expand the sidewalk area and will create new opportunities for sidewalk seating. In addition, the bulbout is designed to have new street trees, lights, furniture and bike racks which should greatly enhance use and accessibility. 5 5. Install a new planted median with a pedestrian refuge area on Traffic Way at Palma Ave south. The median will prohibit lefts in and out of Palma Ave. This vehicle turning movement is low volume with poor sight distance and conflicts with the crosswalk on Traffic Way. Lewis Ave will be available for any vehicle that wants to go to or from Palma Ave., Entrada Ave. or Traffic Way with a left hand turn. 6. Elements from the Wayfinding Program will be included where appropriate, including pedestrian and vehicle information signs. Entrada Ave Enhancements: The Entrada Avenue improvements will consist of: 1. Replace existing Cobra Lighting with the downtown standard light. 2. Install new trees on south side of Entrada Ave. to provide shade for pedestrians. 3. Install new bike rack on south side of Entrada Ave. to encourage bicycling downtown. 4. Elements of the Wayfinding Program will be included such as pedestrian signage. 5. Change Entrada Ave, between Palma Ave and Lewis Ave, from one-way to two- way traffic and install a 4-way stop at Palma Ave. and Entrada Ave. This will provide better access to businesses on Entrada Ave. between Palma Ave and Lewis Ave. Sunken Gardens Enhancements along East Mall: The vendors at the Wednesday afternoon Farmers Market set their tables and pop ups on the sidewalk. This does not leave enough room on the sidewalk for shopper's to walk and stand on. The Sunken Gardens Sidewalk improvements are shown on Exhibit and consist of: 1. Sidewalk widening with pavers to provide additional pedestrian walking area during farmers market. Pedestrian Tunnel: The Pedestrian Tunnel under US 101 provides a major access to Downtown Atascadero from churches, Atascadero High School, residential areas and parking. The Tunnel is poorly lit and uninviting. The conceptual Pedestrian Tunnel improvements are shown on Exhibit J. The final design will be based on this concept and address constraints presented by slope, drainage, utilities, and Caltrans. The project will consist of: 1. Entrance improvements at both ends of the Tunnel using ornate stucco walls and tiles and scored colored concrete walking surface. These improvements would: ✓ Beautify the entrance ✓ Make the tunnel more inviting to use ✓ Provide ADA access ✓ Allow more natural light into the tunnel 6 2. New lighting on the inside of the tunnel El Camino Real Enhancements (Atascadero Creek Bridge to Morro Road): The community goals for this section of EI Camino Real are traffic calming, pedestrian access, beautify and softer the roadway and accent the bridge railing with historic elements. The EI Camino Real Enhancements (Atascadero Creek Bridge to Morro Road) are shown on Exhibit K and consist of: 1. Installation of two planted medians from the Atascadero Creek Bridge to Morro Road with turn pockets servicing driveways. The Colony Square Project will combine the Denny's and Mid State Bank driveways into one driveway that will line up with the project driveway and the median opening (see Exhibit K). 2. Crosswalk Installation at the Colony Square Driveway. The Colony Square Project will install bulbouts on both sides of EI Camino Real at the crosswalk. This will provide traffic calming, better visibility of and for the pedestrian, and a shorter distance across El Camino Real. A refuge area for pedestrians will be provided in the median. This is the second potential location for a Downtown EI Camino Real Entry Arch per the Wayfinding Program (see Exhibit M). The arch would be placed near the cross walk and lights in the Arch would light up the crosswalk. The City has only enough funding for one Entry Arch in this budget. 3. Install bridge railing enhancements that are similar to the original 'bridge railing (see Exhibits N.) This will incorporate lights mounted on the railing (see Exhibit O.) 4. New medians on the bridge at Atascadero Creek (see Exhibit P). The Median across the bridge will have raised design elements since the bridge structure cannot be planted. S. New street trees are proposed, with watering system, along EI Camino Real from Denny's to Morro Road. 6. New street furniture and garbage cans will be located at strategic locations. 7. New Street Lights to replace existing cobra lights and to match the downtown light standard. 8. New Wayfinding Signage will be located at strategic locations to assist visitors and citizens to find local places. 9. Repave EI Camino Real from East Mall to Morro Road. El Camino Real Entry Arch: The current 2007-2009 budget includes funding for wayfinding improvements, including funding for an EI Camino Real Entry Arch. A graphic detail of the entry arch is included as Exhibit L. Staff has proposed two locations for the entry arch to span EI Camino Real; the first location is at the Colony Square driveway and the second location is at the south corner Rosaria Ave. Staff has evaluated each location and recommends that the Arch be installed across EI Camino Real at the Frontage of Colony Square and Denny's Restaurant. The Colony Square location provides a number of advantages over the Rosario location including, visibility from a distance up and down EI Camino Real, the ability to light the 7 proposed cross walk from Denny's to Colony Square, ample space for installation and proximity to the original entry Arch. In anticipation of sign installation, the Colony Square developer has agreed to install bulbouts on the Midstate Bank and Denny's driveways. Bike lanes will not be impacted because of bulbouts installation. The cost of the EI Camino Real Entry Arch improvements are estimated to be: $250,000 to 300,000. The budget for all wayfinding improvements is $550,000. Downtown Bus Stop Design Standard: Staff enlisted the design services of Pierre Rademaker to develop a new downtown standard bus stop. The Bus Stop has been reviewed and approved by staff and the Main Street prior to presentation to the City Council. The final design contained in Exhibit Q is a direct result of the public input we received. Staff desires to gain approval for the proposed bus stop so it can be incorporated into the projects proposed and future projects. City Standard Trash Container: Staff is recommending changing the City downtown standard trash container from the current standard 18-gal trash can to a 48-gallon can. Both trash containers are shown in Exhibit R. The new trash can offers several advantage including sturdiness, an all- weather coating and a larger capacity which will reduce the number of times that the trash cans will need to be emptied per week. Conclusion: Staff desires to receive Council's direction on the following items: • Streetscape Phase II Areas and Elements. Provide staff with direction on the proposed conceptual design areas and elements. Based on this input staff will move forward with construction design and cost estimates. When the design is complete, staff will present them to Council and look for direction on what to construct based on cost and need. • EI Camino Real Entry Arch (Arch.) Where should it be installed? Currently, there is only enough money for one Arch. Staff recommends that the Arch be placed on the proposed bulbouts at Colony Square and Denny's. When future funding is available, staff recommends that the second arch be installed on EI Camino Real at Rosario Ave. • Downtown Bus Stop Design Standard. Approve standard. • City Standard Trash Container. Approve standard. The construction of the approved projects will begin this fall with the placement of streetlight and conclude in the summer of 2008. 8 FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the Streetscape project is allocated from Redevelopment Agency funds, Wayfinding funding, Transit and PG&E street light replacement funds. The City General Fund will not be impacted by this project. The amount of funding to design and construct all the projects exceeds the funding allocated to the projects per the two tables below. Staff will develop more precise cost estimates, based on actual design documents, after the City Council accepts the proposed projects and design elements. We will then bring a report to council on the final design and costs. Based on this information Council can decide which projects to build. The following tables outline the estimated and funding mechanisms for the project: TABLE 1 PROJECT ESTIMATED DESIGN AND CONSTRUTION COSTS PROJECT EXPENDITURES EI Camino Real, Rosario to Traffic Way $1,000,000 EI Camino Real, West Mall to Morro Road $750,000 Traffic Way, EI Camino Real to Palma Ave $175,000 Entrada Ave, EI Camino Real to Palma Ave $50,000 Pedestrian Tunnel $175,000 Sunken Gardens Improvements $75,000 Wayfinding $550,000 Street Lights $150,000 Construction Total $2,925,000 Design Services 8% of Construction $234,200 Construction Support 10% of Construction $292,500 Contingency 20% of Construction $585,000 TOTAL PROJECT EXPENDITURES $4,036,700 9 TABLE 2 PROJECT FUNDING ALLOCATION PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES Downtown Streetsca e, Phase II $2,806,200 Wayfinding $613,600 Street Lighting $103,600 TOTAL PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES I $3,523,400.00 ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A — Approved Streetscape Design Elements Exhibit B — Downtown Revitalization Plan Vision Exhibit C — Wayfinding Sign Examples Exhibit D — Walking Tour Results Exhibit E — Gateway Enhancements @ EI Camino Real and Rosario Exhibit F — EI Camino Real Pedestrian Enhancements @ Virginia Plaza Exhibit G — EI Camino Real Enhancements @ Traffic Way Exhibit H — Traffic Way @ Palma Enhancements Exhibit I — Sunken Gardens Enhancements Along East Mall.

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 a combination of road assessment districts, landscape and lighting districts and Community Facilities Districts (Conditions CUP 12 / TPM 8). Due to the small size of the project, staff is recommending that this condition be waived. 3 ■ Recommendation: The Planning Commission on a 5-2 vote recommends the City Council: Adopt Draft Resolution A denying PLN 2099-1002, ZCH 2004-0091, CUP 2004-0140 and TPM 2004-0057 (AT 03-0258) for being inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the PD-16 Overlay Zone.

DISCUSSION: The City uses tree trimming companies to do a variety of tree trimming and tree removal projects when City staff can not complete the work. This work includes but is not limited to removal of downed trees from the road during storm conditions, routine Right of Way tree and brush trimming, safety pruning of trees on City property and other related tree trimming and removal work. All tree trimming work is completed in compliance with the City's Tree Ordinance. Staff requests the ability to create a list of qualified companies that offer tree trimming services. Contracting for tree trimming services, from an established list, is allowed in Section V of the City Purchasing Policy as an ongoing professional service. This allows the City to hire tree trimming companies for projects on an as needed basis. In July of 2007, staff solicited proposals from qualified tree trimming companies for the purpose of establishing a list to provide tree trimming services for the Public Works Department on an as needed basis. Proposals were received from six (6) qualified companies. The proposals were reviewed for qualifications, previous experience, references and insurance requirements. The six companies were all found qualified for inspection services and 8 staff is recommending that they all be placed on the "Tree Trimming Services Qualified Vendor List." FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the tree trimming services is allocated in Public Works Department budget.

Modification of development standards or processing requirements will enhance the opportunity to best utilize special characteristics of 5440 Traffic Way and will have a beneficial effect on the area by allowing for affordable, small-lot home ownership within a multi-family zoning district, while reducing impacts to a 65-inch diameter, native Valley Oak tree. c. Benefits derived from the overlay zone cannot be reasonably achieved through existing development standards or processing requirements due to specific site constraints consisting of a non-relocatable drainage easement and a 65-inch diameter, native Valley Oak. d.

Ratify the contract entered into by the City Manager for attorney services on an interim basis by Robert Schulz and Hanley & Fleishman, LLP, for the period of time since the last City Council meeting; and, 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a written contract with Robert Schulz and Hanley & Fleishman, LLP, for interim city attorney services. DISCUSSION: In July of 2007 the City Council decided to send out a Request for Proposals for city attorney services. At the August 28, 2007 City Council meeting, the City Council decided to extend the recruitment period to make sure all qualified candidates had a reasonable opportunity to respond. In light of this extension, the City Manager contacted the Hanley & Fleishman law firm and asked if they would be willing to handle the City Attorney duties on an interim basis. Hanley and Fleishman agreed to handle the City on an interim basis for the same hourly rate as the City's previous City Attorney contract. There is no monthly minimum. The attached contract provides for such services at the rate of $175.00 and may be terminated by the City upon notice (no time period required) for any reason or for no reason at all. None of the attorneys are candidates for the City Attorney position currently under recruitment. FISCAL IMPACT: Two of the attorneys that will be working on an interim basis are already familiar with Atascadero and many of its issues. Robert Schulz is the current inhouse city attorney in Morro Bay and will not need training to handle meetings of the Atascadero City Council. It is expected that no budget adjustments will be needed to handle the expense of this contract in the interim. 28 ALTERNATIVES: The City Council is not required to enter into this contract. Staff does not recommend this alternative as this contract will allow the City to receive competent legal services in the interim period without increasing the hourly rate charged to the City. This alternative is also superior to attempting to function without adequate legal representation. ATTACHMENTS: Draft Contract 29 RETAINER ROBERT SCHULTZ, ATTORNEY AT LAW HANLEY AND FLEISHMAN, LLP Legal Services Agreement {Municipal Law; Interim City Attorney Services} This Agreement, made between Robert Schultz, attorney at law, HANLEY AND FLEISHMAN, LLP ("H&F") (sometimes collectively referred to as "attorneys") and THE CITY OF ATASCADERO, CALIFORNIA ("City"), sets forth the terms and conditions under which attorneys agree to provide certain legal services to City. SCOPE OF SERVICES LEGAL SERVICES.

The project site is currently developed with a single-family residence. The applicant does not meet the Zoning Ordinance's minimum lot size requirements based on the flag lot subdivision standards and is requesting relief from those requirements through a Planned Development Overlay-16. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission on a 5-2 vote recommends the City Council: Adopt Draft Resolution A denying PLN 2099-1002, ZCH 2004-0091, CUP 2004- 0140 and TPM 2004-0057 (AT 03-0258) for being inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the PD-16 Overlay Zone.

The project site is currently developed with a single-family residence. General Plan Designation: SFR-2 (1.5 to 2.5 acre Minimum Lot Size) Zoning District: RSF-Z 1.5 to 2.5 acre Minimum Lot Size Proposed Based on the initial study prepared for the project, a Mitigated Negative Environmental Declaration is proposed. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is available for public review at 6907 EI Camino Real, Community Development Determination: Department, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Associate Planner Kerry Margason gave the staff report, and with City Engineer Steve Kahn, answered questions of the Commission. PUBLIC COMMENT Russ Thompson, applicant's representative, spoke about the project and the care the applicant has taken through the years to preserve the trees on the property. Mr. Thompson answered questions of the Commission. Chairperson O'Keefe closed the Public Comment period. Commissioner comments: Commissioner Slane: 1. The applicant has been a resident for a number of years and has been very protective of the trees and surrounding environment. 2. He has no problem with the property split when the flag lot ordinance is considered. 3. The applicant meets the minimum requirement if taken on the gross. 4. Applicant is meeting the spirit of the ordinance. 5. Must be cautious because other neighbors may want to do the same and not meet the 1.5 minimum. Commissioner Marks: 1. Was concerned with the non-permitted ag-building. 37 Commissioner O'Grady: 1. Expressed concern with the finding that the intent and purpose of the PD-16 Overlay includes providing relief from the City's Subdivision Ordinance regulating flag lots. 2. Would like any findings made tonight to be specific to this project so there could be no misunderstandings in the future regarding actions taken by prior Commissions. Vice Chairperson Fonzi: 1. The applicant has made a strong effort to meet the standards, and is within inches of making this an allowable use. 2. Important for the Commission to comply with the letter of the law with compassion and judgment. 3. This project is not creating a precedent that could be used in other areas. 4. 50% offered for open space is a sizable amount for public benefit. 5. There are smaller lots in the area and this project is in compliance with the general feel of the area, and not out of place. Commissioner Heatherington: 1. Was concerned because part of the open space easement is going to be the leach field and septic system for one of the developed lots. 2. She could only go along with this if it is conditioned without second units. Chairperson O'Keefe: 1. This does not meet the PD-16 requirements as the purpose is to allow the creative clustering of residential parcels, and this is not creative clustering. 2. Does not meet the flag lot requirements. 3. Does not meet the General Plan requirements regarding being surrounded by non- conforming parcels. There are a lot of smaller parcels there, but in the past there have been many decisions that did not follow the ordinances. 4. She cannot make the findings that are required that the intent and purpose of the PD-16 Overlay includes providing relief from the City's Subdivision Ordinance, that modification of the three-to-one depth-to-width ratio is necessary, and that the proposed Parcel 2 will also exceed the three-to-one. MOTION: By Commissioner O'Grady and seconded by Chairperson O'Keefe to deny the project. Motion passed 5:2 by a roll-call vote. (Slane, Fonzi opposed) Commissioner Slane stated for the record that he did not believe the spirit of the law is being met, and that the 3.0 on the lots has been met on the split if the flag lot is included and that was the intent of past Commissions. Vice Chairperson Fonzi stated for the record that she agrees this is not meeting the spirit of the law. �rirrr 38 ry SITUATIONS AND FACTS: 1.

The properties along Portola Road in the vicinity of the project site are developed with single-family residences on lots ranging in size from 0.5 to 5+ acres. vftw 40 ANALYSIS: The purpose of the PD-16 Overlay is to allow the creative clustering of residential parcels to preserve sensitive environmental features, and to provide open space by allowing smaller lot sizes than the underlying zone's minimum lot size requirements, without increasing maximum density. In the event that the City Council moves to approve this project, a finding has been included in the draft resolutions stating that the City Council finds that the purpose of a PD-16 includes "...relief from the requirements of the City's Municipal Code's Flag Lot provisions (Section 11-6.26)". This project is designed to facilitate placement of new residential and accessory structures in areas of previous site disturbances or where slopes are at a minimum. The project proposes 1.43 acres of open space easements to meet the requirements for a PD-16 public benefit. History The applicant first applied for a two (2) lot parcel map in February 2004. Staff reviewed the application and based on Section 11-6.26 of the Municipal Code, informed the applicant that there was insufficient land to process the parcel map. The applicant then requested that staff evaluate the project based on Goal LOC 2, Policy 2.2.1 , which states as follows: "Allow for the orderly development of neighborhoods by allowing for the consideration of lot size reductions for lots that are significantly larger than the surrounding neighborhood." Program - Within the Urban Services line, allow for planned developments to approve lot sizes below district minimums in the SE, SFR-Z and SFR-Y land-use areas only, when no more than two (2) lots are surrounded on all sides within the same land-use designation by non-conforming lots. Minimum lot sizes shall not exceed maximum General Plan densities of the next lowest single-family land use designation. Staff reviewed the request and determined that the property was not surrounded by non-conforming lots, as shown below in Figure 2: 41 J�pA°ea°_ Subject Property 1.5 acres (conforming) 1.6 acres (conforming) 1.6 acres 1.9 acres (conforming) (conforming) . Figure 2—Project Location and Zoning The applicant then requested a Variance. Staff reviewed the request and determined it did not appear that the required findings for a Variance could be made. Staff met with the applicant and discussed the PD-16 process. The applicant then chose to submit the required application package and process the requested Zone Change. 42 Maximum Density: Minimum lot size for the RSF-Z Zoning District is 1 .5 to 2.5 acres, based on performance standards. As shown in Figure 3 - Minimum Lot Size Calculations, the performance standards for the proposed lots would allow for a minimum lot size of 1.466 or 1 .5 acres. Maximum density for a 3-acre parcel would be two (2) lots with a single-family residence each, and the potential for one (1) second unit on each lot for a total of four (4) living units. ,:W'�inimum l ofWW C;jtf raauRi a nial Single Family Zone Lot Silt Factors' atYRCO rOm"+enter 11 Canununlly OA000w 408.4-6,000-x,;10.6-8,000-.12 4-6,000 0.1, X20 mituincha 30; 0-59:rnut.inch-:50; Septic Sultabllity(park rate) r60 ntinlim:h=.70 >60 0.7 - 0,20%=:3;21-30%­50;-3]Vo and ever Average Slope ` -.70 17%(estimated) '0.3 tryaeaepte ,o0. - peved-road'decs than 15°m x.15 Ya.Wmd­then 15^..=.20 All voalhnr less!hart li:h,=�; All—ather mere than 1-,%T.30 'Access Caadltioe aimpraVed—fuze AU 0:15 'CsragO I fae< .15.

The existing parcel currently has a flag of 30 feet by 225 feet for 6,750 square feet or 0.15 acre. The Flag Lot Ordinance requires that this area be subtracted prior to calculating minimum lot sizes. Subtracting the 0.15 acre from the 3.02 gross acres results in 2.87 acres, making the parcel too small to create two lots of 1.5 acres each, as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Title 11 of Atascadero's Municipal Code provides for the following: 43 11-6.21 General requirements. The design of lots should be based on intended use, topography and access requirements. Lots which are impractical for intended uses due to terrain, location of natural features, inadequate access, frontage, or buildable area, or other physical limitations will not be approved. All lots shall abut on an improved street unless approved as a deep lot subdivision by the Planning Commission, under standards adopted by the Planning Commission. (Ord. 370 § 2 (part), 2000) 11-6.26 Flag lots (deep lot subdivisions). (a)Flag lots may be approved for subdividing deep lots subject to the following findings: (1) the subdivision is consistent with the character of the immediate neighborhood; (2)the installation of a standard street, either alone or in conjunction with neighboring properties is not feasible; and (3) the flag lot is justified by topographical conditions. Such subdivisions shall conform with the following: (1) The accessway serving the flag lot(s) shall not be included in the determination of required lot area for any lot. (2) The original lot shall have frontage on a dedicated street. The proposed parcels will both result in flag lots. Proposed parcel 1 would be 1.52 acres gross with a design that extends the flagpole portion of the lot, resulting in a parcel size of 1.08 acres. Proposed parcel 2 is 1.5 acres gross. Access for Parcel 2 would be provided over an easement across the flagpole portion of proposed Parcel 1. Proposed Parcel 2 will not have frontage on a dedicated street and the frontage for proposed Parcel 1 is limited to the existing 30-foot flagpole area connecting to Portola Road. Depth to Width Ratio: The parent parcel currently has a depth to width ratio of approximately 7.5:1 which greatly exceeds the Zoning Ordinance requirement for maximum depth to width of 3:1. Proposed Parcel 2 will continue to exceed this requirement with a depth to width ratio of approximately 3.5:1. Relief from the 3:1 ratio standard may also be provided by the PD Overlay-16. Proposed Parcel 1 would meet the requirement with a depth to width of approximately 2.7:1. 44 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP _ AT03-0258 �— )wicu oir'sErnw Proposed New -_---• P.E9;b?M)0 '� Building Envelope .�. l-1 Pncn i.bw.oe 4M _7 L� Open Space Dedications Existing Flagpole area Existing Residence __. - - - r IBM —�._TLL Iw.w ® w....a .R•�L"1.-l..•1•`•' OT"o1-.11AfMOlA W ....... a.—. r�:_. :.S OG Native Trees: There are numerous native oak trees on-site, ten (10) of which will be impacted by the proposed development and two (2) which are proposed for removal. If the City Council approves the project, staff recommends that the applicant replant native trees to mitigate the tree removals. The tree removal request and mitigation form are attached to draft Resolution B as Exhibit C. Site Drainage Historically, the site drains towards Portola Road. The project is designed to maintain historic flow. Wastewater The project will utilize engineered on-site septic systems. 45 Utilities Utilities for the proposed new residence will be required to be placed underground (condition TPM 22). Fiscal Impact If approved, based on findings from the 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 a combination of road assessment districts, landscape and lighting districts and Community Facilities Districts (Conditions CUP 12 /TPM 8). Due to the small size of the project, staff is recommending that this condition be waived. Inclusionary and Workforce Housing The City Council has implemented an interim inclusionary Affordable Housing Program to include a fixed percentage of units within residential developments that require a legislative approval to be reserved as deed restricted affordable units or for an in-lieu fee to be paid. It is recommended that in-lieu fees be paid for this project. A Condition of Approval has been added to ensure this requirement is met (Condition CUP 9 / TPM 10). Project Benefits One of the required findings for approval of a Planned Development Rezone is that the project must "...offer certain redeeming features to compensate for the requested modification." The table shown below outlines the Council policy on Planned Development benefits. In order to approve this project, the City Council must find that the project offers all of the tier 1 benefits to qualify for a Planned Development project. PD Location 70n 7rl�Be�nefits Tier 2 Benefits Outside of Urban Core a) Natural en Space Preservation ) Multi-Purpose Trails—Equestrian/ Bicycle/Pedestrian Rural/Suburban Areas b) Recreational Areas/Facilities PD-16 c) Historic Preservation 46 Tentative Parcel Map A two (2) lot Tentative Parcel Map (TPM 2004-0057/AT 03-0258) is proposed as part of the project consistent with the proposed Master Plan of Development and proposed PD-16 Overlay Zone. The Parcel Map has been conditioned by staff and the City Engineer to meet all City standards including on- and off-site street improvements. The applicant will be required to record a Road Maintenance Agreement for the access-way (condition TPM 9). General Plan Consistency The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Policy: Land Use Policy 1.1: "Preserve the rural atmosphere of the community and assure "elbow room" in areas designed for lower density development by guiding new development into the Urban Core to conform to the historic Colony land use patterns of the City and to respect the natural environment, hillside area and existing neighborhoods." The proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use Element. The project will provide two, Single-Family Residential units within the Single-Family Residential zone. Findings Planned Development Overlay As specified in the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, the following specific findings for the proposed Zone Change shall be made in order to approve the proposed project: 1. The proposed Zone Change is in conformance with the adopted General Plan goals, policies, and programs and the overall intent of the General Plan based on the projects consistency with LOC 1.1. 2. The proposed Zone Change is compatible with existing development, neighborhoods and the environment. 3. The proposed Zone Change will not create any new significant and unavoidable impacts to traffic, infrastructure, or public service impacts. 4. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the project-specific Mitigated Negative Declaration. 47 Additional findings for approval of this zone change are recommended as follows: WOW 1. The intent and purpose of the PD-16 Overlay includes providing relief from the City's Subdivision Ordinance regulating flag lots. 2. The requirement that the original parcel have existing road frontage prior to the subdivision is satisfied by the parcel's connection to Portola Road through the 30-foot wide flagpole area of the existing lot. 3. Modification of the 3:1 depth to width ratio requirement of the City's Subdivision Ordinance is necessary based on the size and shape of the property and the different property ownerships which impede access to the public road. 4. Proposed Parcel 2 will exceed the 3:1 depth to width ratio, however there is adequate assurance that subsequent development may be accomplished without detriment to adjacent properties as there are numerous parcels within the neighborhood that are of a flag lot design. Conditional Use Permit (Master Plan of Development) A Blaster Plan of Development is required for the Planned Development in the form of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed Master Plan of Development sets development standards related to architectural design, site design, landscape, signage, and specific development standards required by the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council must make the following five findings to recommend approval of the proposed Master Plan of `%W Development: 1. The proposed project or use is consistent with the General Plan and the City's Appearance Review Manual. Staff Comment: The use is consistent with the Single Family Residential-Z designation of the General Plan and General Plan Land Use Element Policy 1 .1. 2. The proposed project or use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Title (Zoning Ordinance) including the Planned Development Ordinance. Staff Comment: As conditioned, the project satisfies all Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development Zoning Code provisions. 3. The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of the use will not, because of the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the use. Staff Comment: The proposed residential development will not be detrimental to the general public or working person's health, safety, or welfare. 48 4. That the proposed project or use will not be inconsistent with the character or the immediate neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development. Staff Comment: The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood which consists of several existing flag lots. 5. That the proposed use or project will not generate a volume of traffic beyond the safe capacity of all roads providing access to the project, either existing or to be improved in conjunction with the project, or beyond the normal traffic volume of the surrounding neighborhood that would result from full development in accordance with the Land Use Element. Staff Comment: The proposed project and use is consistent with the traffic projections and road improvements anticipated within the General Plan and as proposed by the applicant. Tree Removals The project proposes the removal of two (2) live oaks for a total of 15 inches dbh. Removal of the trees is necessary for driveway widening and fire safety clearance. Staff is recommending the following finding be made for the removal of these trees: The trees are obstructing proposed improvements that cannot be reasonably designed to avoid the need for tree removal, as certified by a report from the Site Planner and determined by the Community Development Department based on the following factors: ■ Early consultation with the City. ■ Consideration of practical design alternatives. ■ Provision of cost comparisons (from applicant) for practical design alternatives. ■ If saving tree eliminates all reasonable uses of the property. ■ If saving the tree requires the removal of more desirable trees. Proposed Environmental Determination A Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated to public agencies and interested members of the public on April 24, 2007. The Environmental Analysis identified concerns regarding potential impacts to land use, as well as planning and biological resources. Mitigation measures pertaining to these resources are included. A finding is proposed that this project would not have a significant effect on the environment based upon the implementation of the identified mitigation measures. Conclusion: 49 Based on the proposed findings, the Planning Commission found that the proposed .► development would not be consistent with the General Plan or the purpose and intent of the PD — 16 overlay. Native trees have been preserved where feasible and required conditions and mitigation measures have been appropriately incorporated into the project. As analyzed within the project Initial Study and Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed Master Plan of Development would have no significant environmental impacts and will not be detrimental to the general public or working persons, health, safety, or welfare. Based on the Planning Commission's determination it appears that some of the required findings can not be made for this project. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council may approve the project by: a. Adopting Draft Resolution B certifying the Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2007-0005; and, C. Adopting Draft Ordinance A introducing an ordinance for first reading by title only, to approve Zone Change 2004-0091 based on findings; and, d. Adopting Draft Resolution C approving Conditional Use Permit 2004-0140 (Master Plan of Development) and the Tree Removal Request for 2 native trees, based on findings and subject to Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring and waiving condition 12 requiring annexation into the community facilities district; and, e.

The development will be impacting twelve native oak trees ten live oak(Quercus agrifolia)trees and two valley oak(Quercus lobata)trees. Two small live oak trees are being requested for removal. This project is for a lot split. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide a copy of this tree protection plan to any and all contractors and subcontractors that work within the drip line of the native trees. It is highly recommended that each contractor sign and acknowledge this tree protection plan. The trees impacted by this project are numbered and identified on both the grading plan and the spreadsheet. Trees are numbered on the grading plans and in the field with an aluminum tag. Tree protection fencing is shown on the grading plan.In the field trees to be saved have yellow tape. Trees suggested for removal have red tape. Tree Rating System A rating system of 1-10 was used for visually establishing the overall condition of each tree on the spreadsheet. The rating system is defined as follows: Rating Condition 0 Deceased 1 Evidence of massive past failures,extreme disease and is in severe decline. 2 May be saved with attention to class 4 pruning,insect/pest eradication and future monitoring. 3 Some past failures,some pests or structural defects that may be mitigated by class IV pruning. 4 May have had minor past failures,excessive deadwood or minor structural defects that can be mitigated with pruning. 53_ Attachment 2: Arborist Report 5 Relatively healthy tree with little visual structural and or pest defects. 6 Healthy tree that probably can be left in its natural state. 7-9 Have had proper arboricultural pruning and attention or have no apparent structural defects. 10 Specimen tree with perfect shape,structure and foliage in a protected setting(i.e.park,arboretum). The following mitigation measures/methods must be fully understood and followed by anyone working within the drip line of any native tree. Any necessary clarification will be provided by us(the arborists)upon request. 1. Fencing: Will not be necessary for this project. 2. Trenching Within Drip Line: All trenching within the drip line of native trees shall be hand dug,augured or bored(for utilities). All major roots shall be avoided whenever possible. All exposed roots larger than 1"in diameter shall be clean cut with sharp pruning tools and not left ragged. A Mandatory meeting between the arborists and grading contractor(s)must take place prior to work start. 3. Grading Within The Drip Line: Grading should not encroach within the drip line unless authorized. Grading should not disrupt the normal drainage pattern around the trees. Fills should not create a ponding condition and excavations should not leave the tree on a rapidly draining mound. 4. Exposed Roots: Any exposed roots shall be re-covered the same day they were exposed. If they cannot,they must be covered with burlap or another suitable material and wetted down 2x per day until re-buried. 5. Existing Surfaces: The existing ground surface within the drip line of all oak trees shall not be cut,filled,compacted or pared,unless shown on the grading plans and approved by the arborist. 6. Construction Materials and Waste: No liquid or solid construction waste shall be dumped on the ground within the drip line of any native tree. The drip line areas are not for storage of materials either. 7. Arborist Monitoring: An arborist shall be present for selected activities (trees identified on spreadsheet and items bulleted below). The monitoring does not necessarily have to be continuous but observational at times during these activities. It is the responsibility of the owner(s)or their designee to inform us prior to these events so we can make arrangements to be present. It is the responsibility of the owner to contract (prior to construction)a locally licensed and insured arborist that will document all monitoring activities. • Pre-construction fence placement • any utility or drainage trenching within any drip line *AW 54 Attachment 2: Arborist Report • All grading and trenching near trees requiring monitoring on the spreadsheet • All driveway construction activities • Tree removal operations g. Pre-Construction Meeting: An on-site pre-construction meeting with the Arborist(s),Owner(s),Planning Staff,and the earth moving team shall be required for this project. Prior to final occupancy,a letter from the arborist(s)may be required verifying the health/condition of all impacted trees and providing any recommendations for any additional mitigation. The letter shall verify that the arborist(s)were on site for all grading and/or trenching activity that encroached into the drip line of the selected native trees,and that all work done in these areas was completed to the standards set forth above. 9. Utility Placement: All utilities shall be placed down the road/driveway and when possible outside of the drip lines. The arborist shall supervise trenching within the drip line. All trenches in these areas shall be exposed by air spade or hand dug with utilities routed under/over the roots. The included spreadsheet includes trees listed by number,species and multiple stems if applicable,diameter and breast height(4.5'),condition(scale from poor to excellent), status(avoided,impacted,removed,exempt),percent of drip line impacted,mitigation required(fencing,root pruning,monitoring),construction impact(trenching,grading), 141001 recommended pruning and individual tree notes. If all the above mitigation measures are followed,we feel there will be no additional long-term significant impacts to the remaining native trees. Please let us know it'we can be of any future assistance to you for this project.

A "No Impact"answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved(e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more'Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) 'Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from'Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The Lead Agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses,"may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR, or other CEQA process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses aree discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. NOW 6) Lead Agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references information sources for potential impacts(e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached. Other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 04/24/07 cega portola rd 5190 74 CITY OFATASCADERO INITIAL STUDY Exhibit A Timing Responsibility Mitigation Mitigation Monitoring Program /Monitoring Measure Plan ZCH 2004-0091ICUP 2004-0140/TPM 2004-0057 BP:GradngPeanit PS:Building Services BP:Binding Pemtit BS:Building Services TO Temporary FD:Fire Department Occupancy PD:Police Departrnent 5190 Portola Road F:Finalinspection CE:Dry Engineer F0:Final Occupancy WW:Wast8watff CA City Abxney AMWC:Water Camp, Mitioation Measure 3.b.1: The project shall be conditioned to comply BP,GP BS,PS,CE 3.b.1 with all applicable District regulations pertaining to the control of fugitive dust(PUA 0) as contained in sections 6.3,6.4 and 6.5 of the April 2003 Air Quality Handbook.

SOURCES: Project description, Land Use Element(LUE) EIR; Project Plans, RTC Consulting Inc.. DISCUSSION: Water. The Atascadero Mutual Water Company(AMWC)will provide water. All property within the city limits is entitled to water from the AMWC. The project is not expected to require significant quantities of water for the proposed uses. Water is pumped from two portions of the largest underground basin in the county,the Paso Robles Formation, using a series of shallow and deep wells.The water company anticipates that it will be able to meet the city's needs through buildout and beyond: Water demand at buildout under the LUE is estimated at about 8,500 acre-feet per year(AFY).The total available groundwater supply greatly exceeds demand,according to the findings of the Long-Term Viability of Water study. However,the water company does not currently have the deep wells needed to tap into the total amount needed at buildout. The water company is currently developing plans for installing wells where they will be most effective and will not conflict with water rights of others. According to the Water Company,development of additional wells is expected to keep pace with construction in the city, so that water supply will not be interrupted. Sewer. Sewer discharge will be handled by an on site septic system. Storm Water. On-site storm water drainage has been designed to flow into the existing EI Camino Real drainage facilities.The existing facilities have been designed to handle run-off from this site at buildout. 17. MANDATORYFINDIN�SOSIGNIFICANCE-- a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality 17 of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually L_J limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively u considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? DISCUSSION: The proposed project consists of an application for a Zone Change to add a PD 16 Cluster ' subdivision designation over a proposed 2 lot subdivision. There is an existing residence on the property which will remain and a proposal for a new residential unit on the newly created parcel if the project is approved.

Findings: The City Council of the City of Atascadero finds as follows: 1. The proposed subdivision, design and improvements as conditioned, are consistent with the General Plan and applicable zoning requirements, including provisions of the PD-16 overlay district. 2. The proposed subdivision, as conditioned, is consistent with the Master Plan of Development(CUP 2004-0140). 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. 4. The site is physically suitable for the density of development proposed. 5. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. 6. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or the use of property within, the proposed subdivision; or substantially equivalent alternative easements are provided. 7. The proposed subdivision design and type of improvements proposed will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public. 8. Proposed Parcel 2 will exceed the 3:1 depth to width ratio, however there is adequate assurance that subsequent development may be accomplished without detriment to adjacent properties as there are numerous parcels within the neighborhood that are of a flag lot design. 9. The intent and purpose of the PD-16 Overlay includes providing relief from the City's Subdivision Ordinance regulating flag lots (Section 11-6.26). 10. The requirement that the original parcel have existing road frontage prior to the subdivision is satisfied by the parcel's connection to Portola Road through the 30 foot wide flagpole area of the existing lot. 11. The subdivision is consistent with the character of the immediate neighborhood. 12. The installation of a standard street, either alone or in conjunction with neighboring properties is not feasible. 13. The flag lot is justified by topographical conditions. 111 14. It is in the best interest of the general health, welfare and safety to have the required road frontage improvements on Portola Road completed prior to recording the final map to insure the orderly development of the surrounding neighborhood and to insure the required street frontage improvements are completed. 15. It is in the best interest of the general health, welfare and safety to have the required road frontage improvements on Portola Road completed prior to recording the final map for this subdivision in order to insure that a future buyer, who would have no road frontage is not required to install the frontage improvements. SECTION 2. Findings for Approval for Tree Removal, the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero finds as follows: 1. The trees are obstructing proposed improvements that cannot be reasonably designed to avoid the need for tree removal, as certified by a report from the Site Planner and determined by the Community Development Department based on the following factors: ■ Early consultation with the City ■ Consideration of practical design alternatives ■ Provision of cost comparisons (from applicant) for practical design alternatives ■ If saving tree eliminates all reasonable uses of the property ■ If saving the tree requires the removal of more desirable trees SECTION 3. Approval. The City Council of the City of Atascadero, in a regular session assembled on September 11, 2007, hereby resolves to approve Tentative Parcel Map AT 03-0258 (TPM 2004-0057) subject to the following: 1.

DISCUSSION: Background: The Atascadero Avenue Triangle (the "Triangle"), located just off of Morro Road, consists of three parcels and is approximately 1.9 acres. Following the 1992 General Plan update, the entire Triangle (all three parcels) had a General Plan designation of "recreation" and a conflicting zoning map designation of Residential Multi-Family (RMF-16). The original owner, Wes O'Reily applied for a multi-family building permit in 2000. Staff determined that the permit could not be processed because of the General Plan inconsistency and recommended the owner request to have the property's land use redesignated in the General Plan Update that was in process at the time. The owner resubmitted the request which was considered during the General Plan update. During the General Plan hearings, there was considerable public comment and Council discussion about the need for a park next to the library. Many members of the public requested that the City keep the park designation for the entire site and the City build a park. The Council decided that the best solution was to designate the corner near Morro Road for a 1/2-acre park and designate the remainder of the site for 10 residential units. The General Plan created a special Master Plan of Development Overlay (MPD Overlay #12) requirement for the site (refer to following maps). The MPD overlay allows for 10 residential units and a '/2-acre park that is required to be developed concurrently with the housing project. 124 vl / �i1�\�rf♦�`.It/ �\�'�i ♦ �/III /, r'�����,` Si iy •moi p��: o% `o!far General Plan Master r�1���•`��wutl+'I•srra�l y�r� � .Grlv��^��r4�♦�l�\ , ^It``,�`'�'.r`l't'Uf�1P I/r�!`4to e � Iaa`♦wialivvi�i u��!!a / r�1♦�'�� ���MLlll�� 1/��'♦��lv' ���►� ��' 'r A •7�\ \sII O �I1lilyp 4111a r .� Development It-1 �il�lea a•i�gl�►`i , ��a�e �A`* •!.1.�t.°d+,.1� rte/ IOt•a`•\.,.'Sm♦♦ r .,,nl ..♦ . aw /.i►�� ! ���� ` /�1�•\i .,.�. qF "Atascadero Avenue +uf �If ���s��If I��r�`�ie♦ Iia v rrOverlay #12 ✓ri1 f►ii�iAo♦ir air/ �4 1 ♦ r `,►� a�,11 !/tw.►°��I /r•� .�i�i„�;f>r..v i,,,.a n,• 1� 1 tr1�t�� off/���♦'”�1%0 ����� ir, •' �� ♦ �ii(I ft! .��♦ a.. �� �� �� "� OFF �� Wag III i . �i��fit+ ` ,.,' rr 04;I' ��1`JWJW� �,�, f&— W5 ���P��G•a L��D a■�.� iIC® � r w.>a ��,It\t ri��o n, l G�'.. o -' �., 1I ♦ ♦ q4 ♦1 t., +*' � arhirr� /1� s•lra��.aa► ` �Pjrrr r% \ `r � �0 r<��►f al j A 4i JJ1 v1 r\ . 01.11 ��•<t���its• Ii_ � f iei �;T��i �r .�+, ���s,%�e•_i I+w�1�a� {Yret •" ,•i.• "JLC �' ♦III'/ � I� ��� f1�� ♦!. 4`•Fw �`t�a� r�• isr-V�t..� ', mn . �I�,r/���I ���` a ,�/AI/Ni,+!��I�s.>,w��l� �.rt < ��i v�^♦♦nw;a� jt U t..♦►♦ate- .4 i ♦ •i �=4 ��\" � �• e` �r:`� -I`�O♦yam. •t1•�P� ��•��i♦ � "� r r �' w �r�id�•� S�oo � 1�0e r�11 4 w �\;~ aii► ..` r t„�� �O 'b✓�� R►`! . ��,�� i ar.,. ♦ rj Il�•x�llr* v, .lyffi �; v RINIM 'fir �1 �r1,,.

Sometime in the last several years Kelly Gearhart purchased all three lots and proposed a planned development consistent with the General Plan. This project was reviewed by the Council in May 2006, regarding the issue of park improvements and maintenance. At that meeting, the Council decided to defer the improvement and acquisition of the park and require the developer to provide a passive landscaped open space. The project was eventually withdrawn and MLW Holdings bought two of the parcels. Today the two MLW Holdings parcels are designated for residential multi-family units, and the third parcel (approximately at 0.47 acres) is owned by Kelly Gearhart and designated as Recreation. Atascadero Avenue Housing site (10 units max) MLW Holdings '/2 park site Kelly Gearhart Morro Road s MLW Holdings recently submitted an application to develop its two parcels with five residential duplexes. City staff returned the application with corrections that the third parcel, which is approximately 0.47 acres, be included in a Master Plan of Development for the entire site as required by the General Plan. The applicant has applied for a Conditional Use Permit for a Master Plan of Development which does not include the park site (see plan on next page). The applicant has indicated that he may consider revising the plans to have nine residential units on the two parcels, with the third parcel being potentially developed in the future as a residential lot. The applicant's attorney contends that the installation of the improvements and dedication of a half-acre park is not roughly proportional to the impacts created by the residential development, and as such, is an impermissible exaction in violation of the United States Constitution. The exaction is also in excess of the City's own requirements for parkland as set forth in Section 11-07.05 of the Municipal Code. 127- Section 11-07.05(e) provides that for the dedication of land which contains less than 50 parcels, `4W* "the subdivider shall have the option to pay a fee in lieu of dedicating land. Such fee shall be calculated in accordance with subsection (f) of this section.' Subsection (f) provides that in lieu fees must be the fair market value of the land that would otherwise be required for dedication. Section 11-07.05(c) provides that the "General standards for the public interest, health and welfare require that five (5) acres of property for each one thousand (1,000) persons residing in the City be devoted to public parks, public recreational trails and/or public recreational facilities." However, the General Plan specifically requires dedication of land for park purposes as opposed to in lieu fees. r A_... 0 � o IVI 1 Current Master Plan of ` , �; m` s r €i&� A 'I fir, ' 'off [Development C rn l `t ' Housing site { W (10 units max) AMLW Holdings oy \.\ � tf € x W Vt 5 \\ r at'fii 1 m \\ z \ fI) I • VA, \ W o m \ p O t } I \ oil I f fl btt,r�� '/z park site not included in `r ,� z � � �1 �� _, --. _.�:�--. ,,.. = •� Master Plan of Development 30 - N - - --- _ � --- -� -�-- - Kelly Gearhart 8 � • I ti.� I ay�yy u 128 MLW Holdings is requesting to pay the City's parkland dedication fees and have the City amend the General Plan to eliminate all requirements for a public park on the site. As an alternative, if the City prefers to have a park, the owner of the park parcel has made an initial offer to sell the property to the City for $300,000. ANALYSIS: Legal Issues There are three legal issues raised by the applicant's attorney surrounding the park requirement for this project. 1.) Is the General Plan requirement for the dedication and improvement of a half-acre park, as a condition to developing a 10 unit residential subdivision, constitutional? City Attorney's Opinion: Federal and State constitutional law restrict the City's ability to compel the dedication of land as a condition of granting discretionary approvals. The well known Nollan-Dolan line of Supreme Court cases provides that any requirement that a property owner dedicate property must be related to the impacts of the proposed development and that the amount or value of the property to be dedicated must be roughly proportional to those impacts. In other words, there must be a "nexus" between the compelled dedication and the impacts, and the amount of land dedication sought must be "roughly proportional" to the impact of the project. To compel the dedication of some or the entire 0.47 acre site for a pocket park, the City must be able to show that the dedication will mitigate the impacts of the residential development and that the amount of land that must be dedicated is not disproportional to those impacts. 2.) Is there a nexus between the development of the 10 residential units and the need for a park? City Attorney's Opinion: There is certainly a nexus between the housing project and the need for additional park area, including the improvements. The more difficult question is whether the requirement for a half-acre parcel is roughly proportional to the impacts on the City's parks and recreation and the need for the improvements. Based on the analysis done under the Quimby Act, the City would be imposing a dedication in excess of the normal exaction for parks. The City Parkland Dedication requirement is five (5) acres of property for each 1,000 person residing in the city to be devoted to public parks, public recreational trails and/or public recreation facilities. The requirements in this case, assuming 10 units, with an average of three (3) persons per unit would require a dedication of 0.15 acre of parkland. The half acre 129 requirement is over three times the parkland dedication requirement, and NOW does not factor in the requirement to install the improvements While the General Plan is the constitution for development throughout the City, and is the vehicle through which competing interests and the needs of the citizenry are balanced and meshed, it must be consistent with the general laws of the State of California, and the Federal and State Constitutions. In this case, the applicant argues that the General Plan requirement for the park dedication is unconstitutional in that it violates the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. 3.) Is the exaction roughly proportional between the impacts of the project on park and recreational facilities? City Attorney's Opinion: To demonstrate rough proportionality, the City must document the connection between the exaction and the projected impact of the proposed development. Findings must establish the required reasonable relationship between the required exaction and the impact. This requires an assessment of whether this condition is in reasonable proportion to the burden created by the new development. This may be possible, but the courts will give the findings a heightened level scrutiny since the exactions are imposed on a few parcels and not on a broad class of property owners. ALTERNATIVES: Council Options Based on the potential legal issues associated with this site, the Council has the following options related to the Atascadero Avenue Triangle parcels: Option 1. The Council could direct staff to negotiate the purchase of the parcel designated for Recreation and then permit the remaining two parcels to be developed with 10 residential units. The developers of the two parcels would pay all of the applicable park impact fees, and the City would have to fund the balance of the payment of the park land from park fees collected throughout the city. The price of the parcel would have to be negotiated, with the property owner making an initial offer of $300,000. The City would then be responsible for the improvement and maintenance of the park. Option 2. The Council could direct staff to process an amendment to the General Plan to delete the requirement for a park within the Atascadero Triangle. Any proposed development in the Triangle would continue to be obligated to pay the normal park impact fees imposed on residential development in the city. The General 130 Plan could continue to require that the area be Master Planned with a maximum density of 10 units. Option 3. The Council may direct staff to proceed in accordance with the General Plan and to require that the Triangle be developed with no more than 10 units and a half- acre park. The General Plan requires the owners of the three parcels to install the park improvements. For this to be constitutional, the Council must make individualized findings as to the impacts created by 10 residential units on parks and recreation. The findings must demonstrate that the impacts are roughly proportional to the dedication of a half-acre park and the installation of the improvements. This may be difficult to do in this case, since this dedication is in excess of the Quimby Act requirements and the City's parkland dedication requirements. Since these requirements will apply only to these parcels, and not to all development, the courts will apply a strict scrutiny test in determining whether there is a rough proportionality to the impact Conclusion: The project site has a very high profile and is located in the center of the town. During the General Plan Update there was a significant amount of public testimony about the importance of a park in this location. In order to provide a park in this location the City will either have to purchase the site or be willing to endure a length litigation process. Amending the General Plan to eliminate the park requirement may raise concern in the community. Elimination of the park designation should be referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review. 131 ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 9/11/07 .� rr a ■ tsia a Atascadero City Council Staff Report - Community Services Department Adoption of the Colony Park Community Center Policies and Procedures Manual and Fee Schedules RECOMMENDATION: Council review and adopt the Colony Park Community Center fee schedules and the facility policies and procedures manual.

DISCUSSION: Since 2000, the Community Development Department has been committed to streamlining and improving the entire development reviewing and permitting system. In 2002 Phase I of the Permit Streamlining Program was completed. Phase II of the streamlining program was completed in 2003. Since 2004 staff has been engaged in a number of on-going improvements to the permitting process. This Phase III process has been a joint effort of the Community Development Department, Public Works Department, and Fire Department. Staff's goal has been to continue to improve customer service, speed up the permitting process, and improve the quality of projects. Maintaining the efficiency of the permitting process is an on-going effort that is never finished. The annual increase in the number of permits and new requirements, such as affordable housing, threaten to cancel out improvements in other parts of the permitting process. Staff will present a report updating the status of the latest efforts to improve the permitting process. 144 ITEM NUMBER: C-3 DATE: 9-11-07 Atascadero Building Permits Annual Volumes 1980 -2006 Permit activity level remains at 1600near record levels in 2006.

DISCUSSION: Background: The State of California requires all cities to file an Annual Housing Report to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The purpose of the Housing Report is to monitor the implementation of the City's General Plan Housing Element and progress toward meeting the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Summary: The City of Atascadero has made tremendous progress in meeting the goal of providing a variety of housing opportunities for the public since the adoption of the General Plan in 2002. The Council has tasked staff with a number of priorities related to housing production and general plan implementation including: ■ implement the General Plan's Smart Growth Principles ■ Increase the amount of affordable housing ■ Implement an inclusionary housing program ■ Allow mixed use development in commercial zones ■ Encourage infill and reinvestment of underutiltized areas ■ Create a 2nd unit housing program and amnesty program ■ Expand the use of the density bonus program for affordable housing ■ Cooperate with outside agencies on affordable housing projects ■ Improve the permitting process with the Permit Streamlining program 148 While the year 2006 saw a slow down in the housing market, the City has continued to -�-. make significant progress on all of these priorities. Section 2 of the attached report provides a detailed description of the progress and accomplishments related to these tasks. One of the primary goals of the General Plan is to utilize Smart Growth principles to encourage infill development within the urban core rather than permit development at the periphery of town. The Urban Form diagram of the 2002 General Plan identified the urban core as the areas along EI Camino Real and Morro Road with Downtown as the central node for the community. General Plan Policy LOC 1 .1.1 calls for the preservation of community "elbow room" and rural character by maintaining large lots at the perimeter of town and directing new development into the Urban Core. Goal LOC 1. Protect and preserve the rural atmosphere of the community by assuring"elbow room' for residents by means of maintenance of large lot sizes which increase in proportion to distance beyond the Urban Core. Policy 1.1. Preserve the rural atmosphere of the community and assure"elbow room"in areas designated for lower density development by guiding new development into the Urban Core to conform to the historic Colony land use patterns of the City and to respect the natural environment,hillside areas and existing neighborhoods. fIGUH 11-3: Urban form of Afascadero Mixed Use Node Rural l Suburban Residential V��•. ..' :^ 4 '�.,, i (2.5 as min lots) - ."„ r k t Single Family NeigIrlbomoods ,ay tY b Drl',I;lurr, Downtown JA Urban Gore i Y r q ' MOW RoG w .1i� _ F tr � Rx l t" t %111.1{I1l14)I1(NPt1iU11gtU111itUilAl{It" attU ' Greenbelt +-� �µ• ItlSi .,,1t 149 Since the adoption of the General Plan in 2002, the City has approved land use entitlements for approximately 1,700 dwelling units.

The RHNA allocates approximately 180 dwelling units per year to the City of Atascadero. As of December 31, 2004, Atascadero had met approximately 46% of its housing allocation, and has met or exceeded the requirement for above moderate or market rate housing. As of December 31, 2006, Atascadero saw an additional 351 residential units completed. Currently the City has met approximately 68% (up from 43%) of the requirement for moderate housing, and 27% for low housing (up from 16%). These percentages only reflect units that have been finaled and don't reflect future entitled units or the many units currently under construction. Most of these units were approved prior to the adoption of the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Policy. Staff expects additional very low, low, and moderate units will be completed in the coming year (2007) increasing the City's percentage of very low, low, and moderate income units as projects approved under the inclusionary policy complete construction.

The Moderate category includes all non-deed restricted multi-family units and manufactured homes. 151 r Conclusion: In a region with declining housing production and decreasing affordability, the City of Atascadero has made significant progress toward providing its share of housing. The projects that have been approved to date appear to be adequate to meet the City's RHNA from 2001 — 2008. Housing construction in the Dove Creek, Oak Ridge Estates and Woodridge projects is expected to continue into 2007-09. Coupled with construction starts on West Front's 32 units, the Colony Square's 67 units and the 40 units in the EI Camino Real mixed use project, the City can expect an additional 200- 300 residential units over the next few years.

Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): As shown in Table 2 — Redevelopment Housing Funds Received below, the City has received approximately $1,729,590 in Low/Moderate Housing Set Aside funds. To date, $67,269 has been received in interest income and $46,829 has been spent on administration and Housing Trust costs. This leaves a balance in the fund of $1,750,030 as of June 30, 2006. In fiscal year 2006/2007, $142,290 of these funds were spent on the San Luis Obispo Non-Profit Housing Corporation's nineteen (19) unit senior housing project, located on EI Camino Real. An additional $370,000 was earmarked for a 4-unit Habitat for Humanity Project on Traffic Way. Staff, in conjunction with the Housing Committee, will be outlining programs for the Redevelopment Board of Directors' review to best determine how to use the funds to implement the Redevelopment Plan.

The required 20% is to be distributed as 20% Very Low, 37% Low and 43% Moderate in multi-family and commercial mixed use zoning districts and 100% Moderate in single-family residential zoning districts. Projects proposing ten (10) units or less may, at the developer's option and with City Council approval, pay in-lieu fees at 5.0% of the construction valuation for each residential unit or fractional unit in the project. Projects proposing eleven (11) or more residential units must have City Council approval to use the in-lieu fee option. Deed restrictions are for a period of 30 years. The program also requires that the affordable units be of comparable quality and dispersed throughout the project. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): In 2003 and 2004, the City processed several entitlement projects that required inclusionary housing or in-lieu fees. Many of these projects are still in the process of recording final maps and applying for building permits. In 2003, deed restrictions were obtained for three (3) units, all at the moderate income level. Building permits were completed for three moderate deed restricted units in 2003 (two of the moderate units from 2003 and one moderate unit that began construction in 2002). In late 2005, the City Council adopted a revised inclusionary housing policy program. This new program is an equity sharing program for single family moderate income level units that provides for more flexibility when a purchaser might need to sell the unit. In addition to the equity-sharing provision, the City holds a silent second on the unit which does not have to be repaid until the unit sells. In 2005, there were 27 moderate level deed restricted units under the original inclusionary program. In early 2006, that number grew to approximately 40 based on the Developer Agreements that were required at the time of final map recordation. Implementation of the new inclusionary program started immediately and all Zone Change requests approved in 2006, were subject to the new program. In addition, two large projects that were approved prior to 2006, realized the value of the new inclusionary program, and all units in these projects have been sold under the parameters of the new inclusionary program [The Colony at Apple Valley and Las Lomas (Woodridge)]. Approximately 20 units were completed and sold in early 2006. Exhibit A, attached to this report, shows the location of the units and provides a tabulation of the type of deed restriction obtained. Exhibit A locates both projects which have been approved, but are still in the final map and/or building permit stages and projects which have completed the construction process. Many of the units listed in Exhibit A will not come on line until 2007 or later. As of June 30, 2006, the City had collected in-lieu fees in the amount of $361,760 and issued $2,115,046 in affordable housing program loans. The fund has received $5,427 in interest and spent $15,500 on legal services needed to implement the Affordable 9 165 Housing Loan Program. This leaves $2,115,046 in loans receivable and $351,687 in vftw available funds as of June 30th, 2006. In June 2007, a moderate level deed restricted unit was purchased by the City, using $322,904 of the available funds.

This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goals 2, 6 and S. Mixed Use Policy: Provisions for mixed use residential/commercial development were added to the General Plan during the update process in 2002. In April 2004, the City Council adopted a mixed use application processing policy. This policy allows for Vertical Mixed Use through a Zone Change/Planned Development application and Horizontal Mixed Use through a General Plan Amendment. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): The City processed its first mixed use entitlement in 2004, as a General Plan Amendment for a horizontal mixed use project. The project allowed for a commercial use on a main thoroughfare, with a duplex unit behind the store (K-Jons). Since that time, the City has processed approximately 6 additional mixed use projects, resulting in 467 units. The Principal Avenue project consists of 45 residential units (36 market rate; 4 moderate; 3 low and 2 very low) in conjunction with commercial development. The project was approved in 2004, but to date, the project developers have not submitted for building permits and it currently appears that the project site is for sale. In September of 2004, the City approved its largest mixed use project —The Dove Creek Development with 279 residential units. This project will contribute 20-very low income units to the inclusionary program. Construction is under way and the first units were sold in early 2007. 10 166 The Colony Square project was approved in August of 2005. Demolition has commenced and building permits are ready to issue. This project proposes 67 market rate residential units. In October 2005, the West Front project was approved. This project includes 32 residential units with 1-very low, 2-low and 3-moderate inclusionary units. The commercial aspect of the project includes a motel which is currently under construction. This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goals 1, 2, and 10. Second Residential Unit Ordinance: On July 27, 2004, the City Council adopted a "Secondary Residential Units and Accessory Structures" Ordinance, that became effective August 27, 2004. Previous to this ordinance, second units were only allowed in the Single-Family, One-Acre Minimum Zoning District, when the property was verified to be one acre net. The new ordinance allows for second units in all residential zoning districts, subject to development standards regulating square footage, parking and wastewater requirements. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): Under the new ordinance, twenty-four (24) secondary residential units have been completed. In accordance with State guidelines, these second units are incorporated into Table 6, as "Low" income units. This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goals 3, 4, 6, 9and 10. Second Unit Amnesty Program: In addition to the Second Unit Ordinance, the City Council adopted a Second Unit Amnesty Policy that provides for registration of second units and guesthouses that were constructed or converted without entitlement or construction permits. The Amnesty Program runs from September 1, 2004 until September 1, 2006. Program Accomplishments (Ends September 1, 2006): Since the implementation of the Second Unit Amnesty Program on September 1, 2004, the City has completed nine (9) permits for non-permitted second units. This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goal 4. Section 8 Housing Voucher Program: This is a state funded program, administrated by the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO). Income qualified households may have a portion of their residential rental costs subsidized by the program. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): This program is administered by the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO). HASLO has administered the program 11 167 since the mid-1970s. As of June 1 , 2007, HASLO has 264 units (15%) within the City of Atascadero under Voucher contract out of a total of 1,754 units County-wide. This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goal 3. Cooperation with Other Agencies: This is a flexible, informal policy that allows the City to work with public and/or non-profit agencies in the procurement and/or construction of various affordable housing projects to meet the needs of multi-family, single-family and senior households. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): In 2004, the City worked with the Economic Opportunity Commission (LOC) processing an entitlement permit that allows for a 32-bed overnight shelter in its Residential Suburban Zoning District. While the Planning Commission and the City Council approved the project, EOC experienced difficulties in finding grant monies. The approved Conditional Use Permit has expired and EOC is currently looking for a site more favorable for financing. Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo HASLO processed entitlement permits for a 19-unit senior housing project. The Conditional Use Permit was approved in December 2003. The City contributed redevelopment monies to the project in order to reduce costs. Construction on this project was completed in April 2007. The entire project is deed restricted to require that the units be rented for no more than 60% of the median County income level, qualifying the units as "lower" income. Habitat for Humanity for San Luis Obispo identified a project site at 5440 Traffic Way and has been working with the City's Redevelopment Agency and Community Development Department to secure financing and process entitlement permits for a four (4) unit project. This is an ongoing project which should be presented to the Planning Commission and the City Council in the summer of 2007. In addition to specific projects, the City works closely with HASLO for certification of eligible households for deed restricted units, and exploring ways and means to promote and provide affordable housing within the City. The City also holds a commissioner's seat on San Luis Obispo Housing Trust Fund's Commission. This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goals 1, 3, 6 and 7. CDBG Funding: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding is provided by the Federal Government to communities to benefit low and moderate income groups, address slums or blight and/or meet a particularly urgent community development need. 12 168 Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): In keeping with the goals (and requirements) of the CDBG program, the City uses these funds to support and assist youth, housing, health, and code enforcement programs, in addition to urban renewal projects. As shown in Table 4 - CDBG Funds Disbursement, approximately 7% of the CDBG funds for 2006, were awarded to various housing programs, including the EI Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO). This organization provides overnight shelter to homeless individuals and works with the Economic Opportunity Commission (EOC) of San Luis Obispo County to provide ongoing services designed to help individuals into permanent housing situations.

This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goal 6. Density Bonus: The City provides a density bonus program that allows for a 35% increase over the base density when deed restricted affordable housing is provided in a project. In addition to the 35% increase, an additional 15% increase may be awarded for a project that provides exceptional architectural design. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): Over the course of the last few years, several projects have been through the entitlement process which included density bonuses. The City allows for an additional 10% density increase over the State requirement of 25% when inclusionary housing is included in a project. Multi-family 13 169 projects with exceptional architectural design may receive an additional 15% density wr increase, for a potential 50% increase over base density. Table 5 — Density Bonus Projects shows the projects which have received bonus densities in the last few years. With the slow down in the housing market over the last year, the City did not have the opportunity to award any density bonus units for 2006.

To address this concern, the City Council adopted a historical preservation goal in the housing element. In conjunction with infill development in some of Atascadero's older neighborhoods, the City Council applied an historical overlay district on five (5) of the remaining Colony houses through 2005. In 2006, the historical colony house on Ridgeway Court was added to this inventory. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): The recently updated General Plan Housing Element includes a goal to protect and conserve the existing housing stock and neighborhoods. Conservation and preservation of neighborhoods and sound housing, including places and buildings of historical and architectural significance is a major policy of this goal. The City of Atascadero was subdivided by E.G. Lewis in the early 1900's and marketed as a "utopian farming community." Several of the original lots were sold and developed with "colony" homes which still exist today. Preservation of these homes, where feasible, is important for maintaining a connection to the original principles upon which Atascadero was built. This housing program contributes to the implementation of Housing Element Goal 4. Energy Conservation: This program strives to inform residents of available energy saving techniques and alternative and/or innovative energy designs. Program Accomplishments (Ongoing Program): The City uses public information brochures and other materials to inform residents of energy saving techniques and allows for the construction of solar and wind generated facilities. In 2006, the Building Department completed seven (7) permits for construction of solar- powered energy systems for homes and businesses and three (3) solar permits for swimming pools. Green Build/Recycle Program: The Building Department has started disseminating information about the recycling of construction "waste." This program came on-line in 2006, and consists of public education and reference materials in support of a "construction waste handler." 15 171 �r SECTION 3 PROGRESS TOWARDS REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION, REDUCTION OF GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS AND OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS 16 172 Progress Towards the Regional Housing Needs Plan Allocation: The City of Atascadero recently adopted an updated housing element in June 2002. The updated element was completed prior to the final calculations on the Regional Housing Needs Plans (RHNP) by the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG). The final RHNP (adopted in January 2003) is shown in Table 6, below, as the "Target" for the various income levels. The "Actual" column shows the number of residential building permits completed for the various income groups. The table includes the timeframe for meeting the RHNP, in order to show the City's overall progress. The "Actual" column is based on completed building permits.

The year 2004, was approximately half way through the RHNP time period. As of December 31 , 2004, Atascadero has met approximately 46% of its housing allocation and has met or exceeded the requirement for above moderate or market rate housing. Currently, the City has met approximately 68% of the requirement for moderate housing and 27% for low housing. Several projects which received entitlement in 2004, include provisions for approximately 58 very low units. In late 2006, an approved project which would have provided 32 very low units was withdrawn. The City now expects that only approximately 26 very low units might be built by the end of the RHNP time period. Overall, the City has met approximately 73% of the total RHNP as of December 31 , 2006. 17 173 Reduction of Governmental Constraints: Over the past few years, the City of Atascadero has implemented several new programs and policies to reduce governmental constraints on housing production. While these programs and policies are difficult to quantify, the feedback from developers and others in the housing production community is generally favorable. The new programs and policies include: ■ Improved tracking process for permits under review with public access over the internet ■ Weekly inter-departmental plan check review meeting ■ Completion of a four (4) prong permit streamlining program ■ One-stop permit center ■ On-line permit center with public information ■ Target dates for plan check reviews ■ Intake meetings to ensure that complete applications are submitted ■ Housing Committee to research and make recommendations to the City Council on potential housing programs ■ Second Unit Ordinance ■ Second Unit Amnesty program These programs contribute specifically to the implementation of Housing Element Goal 9 and generally to Goals 3, 4, 6, and 10. Other Achievements: In conjunction with residential development, 152 entitlement permits were submitted for processing in 2006, and four (4) housing projects were approved. The approved entitlement permits resulted in approval for construction of approximately 51 new dwelling units for the City. This is down from the 144 units that received entitlement in 2005. The Building Department also continued to see activity on permits issued as a result of the San Simeon Earthquake. Approximately fourteen permits were completed 2007. 18 174 SECTION 4 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDED HOUSING PRIORITIES FOR 2005 19 175 SUMMARY: The City has enacted several programs and approved entitlement permits for several projects that contribute to the implementation of all of the Housing Element goals. As seen in Figure 1 below, over the past five years Atascadero has seen a significant increase in development activity involving both large and small projects. Building permits issued increased 43% from 2000 to 2004 and held steady for 2005. This activity has provided opportunities for implementation of housing programs designed to meet the requirements of the Housing Element goals. In addition, this activity has given the City a greater diversity in its housing projects, from apartments to new subdivisions. Figure 1 — Issued Building Permits 2000-2006 Building Permits Issued 2000-2005 1200 ar 1000 800 m N y k v, 600 n 400 - 200 00 200 tf 0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Year The year 2004, was approximately halfway through the time period for meeting the requirements of the Regional Needs Housing Allocation and for implementation of the current Housing Element, which is required to be updated in 2009. To date, the City has met 73% of its Regional Housing Allocation (RHA) and if all the projects which currently have entitlement are built, the City can expect to meet and exceed 100% of the overall RHA. 20 176 Table 9 — Quantified Objectives Accomplished, shows how the City is meeting the goals of the Housing Element by income level. The Quantified Objectives were officially adopted in June of 2002. Consequently, many of the target numbers for 2001 and 2002 were not met. In 2003, substantial progress was made in reaching the target numbers, which carried forward throughout 2005 and 2006. Programs 2.2 (1), 4.1 (3), 4.2 (3), and 4.4 (1) are the only programs where progress appears to be very slow. Staff is recommending that the City Council establish these programs as a priority for 2007. The following table, Table 9 — Percentage of Quantified Objectives Met shows how the City is doing overall in meeting the quantified objectives. Additional detail can be found in Table 1 A which shows the actual breakout of each of the programs' categories.

Recommended Housing Priorities for 2007: Again, referring to Table 1A on the following page, it is apparent that several identified programs in the Housing Element still need to be implemented. These programs include the Downtown Mixed Use, the Mortgage Credit Certification Program, No Net Loss of Affordable Units, and the Federal Grant and Redevelopment Funding programs. 21 177 Community Development Staff is recommending the City Council establish the following housing program priorities for the year 2007: 1. Five-year update of the General Plan Housing Element. 2. Certification of the 2002 Housing Element Update of the General Plan. 3. Establishment of the Mortgage Credit Certification Program. 4. Approval of an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. 5. Approval of a Condominium/Mobile Home Conversion Ordinance, 6. Research of housing entities that will purchase units which are near the expiration date of their affordable deed restriction. 7. Identification and evaluation of housing programs, within the Redevelopment Plan Area, that could be funded with Redevelopment Agency monies. 8. Update the Density Bonus Ordinance to reflect State law changes effective January 1 , 2005. \\Cityhall\cdvlpmnt\- Housing Element\Annual Housing Report\Annual Report 2006\PC Staff Report Annual Report 2006.doc �tlllr' 22 178 179
