Atascadero City Council
Staff Report — Police Department
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund
RECOMMENDATION:
Council designate and approve spending plan for 2012/2013 Supplemental Law
Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) monies in the amount of $100,000 to be used for
frontline police services.
DISCUSSION:
The State of California has awarded the City of Atascadero $100,000 in SLESF monies
for 2012/2013. This amount is awarded annually to each city and designated
specifically to finance frontline police services. Staff has identified opportunities in
which these funds may be used most effectively. These overall expenditure categories
are summarized below for review.
The Government Code requires the City Council approve appropriation of the funds for
frontline police services, but no longer requires year-end reporting on the expenditures
of these funds. If necessary, the police chief has the discretion of redirecting grant
funds between the spending categories. It is expected that transfers between
categories will represent less than 25% overall. In future years SLESF monies will be
authorized for expenditure as part of the overall budgeting process and no independent
council authorization will be required.
• Radio/Communications $ 49,360
• Cadet/Reserve Programs $ 10,000
• K-9 Program $ 14,750
• Technology $ 14,320
• Frontline Police Equipment $ 11,570
Total: $ 100,000
ITEM NUMBER: A- 3
DATE: 04/23/13
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive the $100,000 grant of SLESF restricted funds and will utilize it for
frontline police services.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Decline the use of SLESF monies and/or decline the reallocation of existing
SLESF funds. Not recommended due to significant benefit gained from use of
these funds.

vegetative growth and/or refuse, which are or may become a public nuisance, is
available for review in the Office of the City Clerk and the Atascadero City Fire
Department.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report— Community Development Department
Eagle Ranch Annexation and Specific Plan
PLN 2008-1280
EIR Contract Authorization
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with FirstCarbon Solutions -
Michael Brandman Associates (FCS-MBA) in the amount $579,590.00 to provide
professional services for the preparation of an Environment Impact Report (EIR) for the
Eagle Ranch Annexation and Specific Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Background: On August 10, 2010, the City Council approved the processing of the
Eagle Ranch EIR to begin concurrently with the development of the project design and
Specific Plan. The concurrent processing was proposed in order to incorporate the
preliminary studies and findings of the EIR into the early stages of the project design.
Often, EIRs are processed after a project has been completely designed, leading to
discovery of issues late in the process which may require major redesign of the project,
or a series of mitigation measures applied to "fix" the project's shortcomings. The
concurrent Specific Plan / EIR approach for Eagle Ranch was developed in order to
create a proactive, effective, and efficient approach to identifying environmental issues
before a final project design was completed.
In order to ensure compliance with CEQA regulations, the City (not the applicant)
contracts directly with the environmental consultant. The City directly manages the
environmental consultant and controls the scope of work. The cost of preparing the EIR
and Specific Plan is the full responsibility of the applicant.
The City's Purchasing Policy provides a process for the hiring of professional service
consultants. The first step in the process was the issuance of a request for qualified
(RFQ) consultants to perform a professional service for the City. In October 2010, the
City issued a RFQ and advertised Statewide for a qualified consultant to prepare an EIR
for the Eagle Ranch Specific Plan. The City received a total of 12 Statements of
Qualifications (SOQ's). A staff selection committee consisting of Warren Frace,
ITEM NUMBER: A- 5
DATE: 04/23/13
Community Development Director; Russ Thompson, Public Works Director; and Brian
Pierik, City Attorney was assembled to review the SOQ's. On December 3, 2010 the top
six firms were interviewed by the committee.
Michael Brandman & Associates (now known as FirstCarbon Solutions - Michael
Brandman Associates or FCS-MBA) was selected by the committee as the most
qualified consultant based on their work experience, references and staff assigned to
the project. MBA had been previously contracted by the City to prepare the Del Rio
Road Commercial Area (Walmart) EIR and had been very responsive, efficient and
prepared high quality work. On January 11, 2011, the City Council reviewed the
committee's recommendations and authorized the City Manager to negotiate and
execute a contract with MBA for the preparation of a multi-phased Environmental
Impact Report for the Eagle Ranch Specific Plan. Phases 1 and 2, known as the
"Constraints Analysis," included data collection and preliminary analysis such as site
surveys by biological and archeological consultants, preliminary review of traffic impacts
at the interchanges, and a preliminary Fiscal Impact Analysis. Phase 3 was identified
as the preparation of the formal EIR to follow under separate contract once the project
design and description was finalized.
Between 2011 and 2013, the Phase 1 and 2 Constraints Analysis was completed and
the project went through a series of public meetings which resulted in modifications to
the project design. At a joint Planning Commission and City Council meeting on
February 26, 2013, the Council agreed to move forward with the formal EIR (Phase 3)
based on the latest project description (refer to Attachment 1 for project statistics and
site plan). The Council's authorization included a few modifications to be added or
studied in the EIR:
■ Provide options for additional workforce housing in Village Center and a smaller
senior housing project
■ Include Class I type/off-street trail along Atascadero Ave.
■ Consider easement through Ranch to ALPS property
■ Study traffic issues between Santa Rosa and Atascadero Avenue in the EIR
Analysis: The City's purchasing policy requires the City Council to approve the
consultant budget prior to entering into a contract with FCS-MBA to complete the EIR.
The Phase 1 & 2 Constraints Analysis budget was approved by Council for a budget of
up to $300,000. Upon Council authorization, a new contract will be executed for Phase
3 of the EIR. MBA has prepared a Scope of Work (see Attachment 1) to outline the
studies and analysis which will be completed. The Phase 3 EIR Scope of Work
includes a budget of $579,590.00 of the proposed work. This total includes a 10%
contingency which has been built into the budget to provide for additional studies which
may be needed but are currently unknown.
With Council's approval, the City would be under contract with MBA to start work in May
2013. The timeline shown in the attached scope of work identifies a 40-week timeframe
ITEM NUMBER: A- 5
DATE: 04/23/13
to complete the EIR process. The public will have an opportunity to review and
comment during public review of the Notice of Preparation and again during public
review of the Draft EIR. The Final EIR, which includes all public comments and
responses, will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council at public
hearings which would take place in early 2014.
Processing of the Specific Plan, tentative maps, and development agreement will move
forward concurrently with the EIR. Completed documents will be reviewed together by
the Planning Commission and City Council. The LAFCO process for annexation will not
begin until the City of Atascadero has approved all components of the EIR, Specific
Plan, and associated tentative maps, general plan amendment and pre-zoning.

Conclusion: Through a request for qualifications done in 2010, the City determined that
FirstCarbon Solutions - Michael Brandman Associates (FCS-MBA) was the most
qualified firm to prepare an EIR for the Eagle Ranch Specific Plan. FCS-MBA has
already completed the Phase 1 and 2 Constraints Analysis portions of the EIR, and is
now ready to begin the formal EIR based on the project description approved by City
Council at the February 26, 2013 meeting. The Council is being asked to authorize a
contract with FCS-MBA in the amount $579,590 to complete the EIR. The attached
Scope of Work outlines the studies and analysis that will be completed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Processing the EIR will be revenue neutral to the City of Atascadero. The project
applicant (Eagle Ranch, LLC) will be responsible for the payment of all consultant costs
related to the preparation of the EIR. The City's cost recovery fees require that a 10%
administration fee be paid to cover staff time related to preparing the EIR.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may refer the Scope of Work back to staff and the consultant for
additional review or analysis.

Task 1: Project Initiation
The City and applicant have provided a substantial amount of information regarding the project, including
maps, diagrams, presentations and other materials, in addition to the environmental constraints analysis
prepared by the FCS-MBA team that will allow work on the EIR to proceed quickly after project initiation.
FCS-MBA's project manager will meet with City staff shortly after project initiation to obtain any additional
project information available and guidance necessary for preparation of complete project and alternatives
descriptions, establish early communication among various project team members, and clarify the issues
and concerns identified for analysis.
To facilitate this process, FCS-MBA will:
■ Attend an initial orientation meeting with City staff to review the proposed project scope of work
and confirm the elements that will be included in descriptions of the project and alternatives to
the proposed project.
• Following the meeting, FCS-MBA will receive and review complete project information, approved by
the City,to be used in developing an EIR project description. Information will include project
objectives(including those of the City and the applicant), land use data and statistical summary,
and graphics.
■ Refine the project schedule, based upon agreements reached during contract negotiations and on
information discussed at the initial meeting, if needed.
• Receive all existing reference and research materials related to the project,the project site and
vicinity, including base maps, aerial photographs, and environmental documentation, if
appropriate, near the project.
• Review of site-specific data, conduct a field visit, interview relevant parties such as City and other
agency staff to document baseline conditions, and review the City's CEQA procedures, as
appropriate.
Based upon review of the project plans, discussions with City staff, and FCS-MBA's familiarity with the
project area,the following issues are anticipated to be of primary concern:
• Aesthetics
■ Agricultural Resources
■ Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Biological Resources
■ Cultural Resources
• Geology,Soils, and Seismicity
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
■ Hydrology and Water Quality
■ Land Use
• Noise
■ Population and Housing
■ Public Services and Recreation
• Transportation

• Utility Systems
FCS-MBA understands this list is not exhaustive and may be supplemented with additional issues following
the initial meeting with the City and project scoping.
Task 2: Technical Studies
The following technical studies will be initiated at the time of project initiation by FCS-MBA or its technical
sub-consultants.
Visual Simulations
Because of the topographical characteristics of the project site, FCS-MBA will prepare visual simulations that
will be used to assess project impacts on scenic vistas and visual character. Visual simulations will be
prepared used computer modeling software and provide a "before" and "after" comparison of development
impacts. To improve the accuracy of the images, FCS-MBA will need the applicant to provide CAD files of the
project site and proposed project. At the request of City staff, visual simulations will be prepared for both
proposed project and the No Project Alternative. This scope of work assumes up to ten (10) photo-
simulations from vantage points to be determined by City staff, in consultations with the project applicant.
Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis
FCS-MBA will evaluate project impacts associated with air quality and greenhouse gas emissions as follows:
• Data Collection. FCS-MBA will collect relevant project and site background information, including
base graphics showing the project area and vicinity,the proposed project and adjacent land uses,
and a copy of the traffic study prepared for the project. Ambient air quality data for the project area
will be collected from the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District(SLO County APCD)
and the California Air Resources Board (ARB). We will identify the current attainment status of
federal and state standards,and current SLO County APCD attainment plans. Project description
and related documents will be reviewed for potential air quality impacts and to identify project
design features and sustainability features that help reduce air quality impacts.
• Emissions Calculations. Construction and operational emissions will be estimated using emission
factors and methodologies developed by ARB,SLO County APCD, and other agencies. Construction
and operational emissions will be quantified using the latest version of the CaIEEMod transportation
and land use program. Vehicle emission factors not available in CalEEMod will be generated for the
proposed project using ARB's EMFAC2011. Our operational analysis will evaluate the increase in
operational emissions above the existing ranching operations that are attributable to the project,
and quantitatively or qualitatively include project design features and sustainability features as
appropriate.
• CO Hot-Spot Analysis. If preliminary screening indicates that potential exists for a CO hot spot,a
maximum of four intersections will be evaluated. These intersections would have the highest
potential for congestion using the California Department of Transportation CALINE4 and the
EMFAC2011 models. If these intersections are predicted to exceed the CO standard, remaining
intersections that meet the criteria for further analysis will also be modeled for CO hotspot impacts.
The localized impact assessment will also include dispersion modeling of criteria pollutants
generated by operational activities in the immediate vicinity of the project site during operation.
• Health Risk Assessment. FCS-MBA will prepare a stand-alone Type A Health Risk Assessment that
will identify cancer and non-cancer risks from operational emissions at nearby sensitive receptors.
FimtCarbon" 5
SOLUTIONS
FCS-MBA will calculate the project's generated concentration of diesel particulates from heavy-duty
diesel truck activity in the immediate vicinity of the project site and truck routes, using the EPA's
AERMOD air dispersion model and SLO County APCD guidance for air dispersion modeling. In
addition, FCS-MBA will estimate the concentration of diesel particulates from Transportation
Refrigeration Units(TRUs). The project has some units relatively close to US 101. FCS-MBA will
conduct a Type B Screening Analysis to determine if the sensitive receptors in the project would be
subject to a significant impact from the highway and other nearby sources in accordance with SLO
County APCD guidance. Toxic air contaminant emission factors will be generated using approved
methodologies from the ARB,SLO County APCD, or EPA for relevant mobile sources and other
sources of toxic air contaminant emissions. Various emission parameters—including location on the
project site, operational profiles, and emission rates required to perform the air quality analysis—will
be established. Such informational needs include a site plan, expected inventory of delivery trucks
to each of the project's commercial uses, and TRU use data (if applicable). Note some of these
items may not be readily available. In this case, every effort will be made to quantify these items
using the best available information for comparable data sources. Cancer and non-cancer health
risks associated with project-generated diesel particulates will be predicted using the cancer risk
potency factor method for cancer risk due to diesel particulates, and the Reference Exposure Level
for non-cancer health risks of diesel particulates, developed by Office of Environmental Health
Hazard Assessment. The appropriate modeling information will be used to identify the maximum
exposed individual resident,the maximum exposed individual worker(MEIW), and the maximum
individual cancer risk.
■ Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis. The Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions section of the EIR
will describe the basics of climate change and provide the federal,state, and local regulatory
environment for climate change and greenhouse gases. The analysis will use the greenhouse gas
thresholds adopted by the SLO County APCD in March 2012. In accordance with that guidance,the
analysis will amortize construction and operational greenhouse gas emissions over a 50-year period.
■ Mitigation Measures. The air quality analysis will address reasonable ways to mitigate air pollutant
and greenhouse gas emissions through strategies such as construction best practices, energy
conservation,shorter or fewer vehicle trips, increased use of alternative transportation, etc.
FCS-MBA will summarize the findings of the Air Quality Analysis, Greenhouse Gas Analysis, and Health Risk
Assessment in the EIR. The Health Risk Assessment, and detailed emission calculations and modeling
outputs from the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis will be provided as an appendix to the EIR.
Biological Resources Study/Jurisdictional Delineation
FCS-MBA previously performed a field survey of the project site in 2011 and prepared a constraints analysis
identifying potential biological issues. FCS-MBA will review the previous analysis and update, as necessary.
The tasks associated with these activities are listed below.
Biological Resources Study
Existing information including maps, aerial photographs, documents, and correspondence relative to the
properties will be reviewed and analyzed. Data to be reviewed for the project site includes, but is not limited
to:
■ Environmental Constraints Analysis prepared by MBA in August 2011;
■ Any new/relevant documentation and studies of the biological resources within the immediate
vicinity of the sites; and
FrstCarbori 6
SOLUTIONS
• United States Geological Service(USGS)topographic maps and current/more recent aerial photos
will be reviewed for evidence of United States Army Corps of Engineers(USACE) or California
Department of Fish and Wildlife(CDFW)jurisdictional areas pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act and Section 1601 of the California Fish and Game Code, respectively.
Due to the nature of the proposed project, resource agencies, including United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS)and CDFW, who have jurisdiction over the project site, will be contacted, at the direction of
the City,for updated pertinent information associated with the project site. Any proposed project plans will
be confidential and informal consultation will only include a request of known occurrences of sensitive
biological resources in the general area.
In 2011, Michael Brandman Associates conducted a general reconnaissance-level survey of the Eagle Ranch
property and prepared an environmental constraints analysis document. As part of this work effort,the local
plants and wildlife species observed on the ranch were recorded and assessed to determine the potential for
the project site to support sensitive species. MBA identified several sensitive species that occur or have the
potential to occur onsite. The design of the proposed development has been changed to minimize impacts
to sensitive species and habitat. Additionally,the new design includes areas that were not covered in the
2011 surveys. Further reconnaissance level surveys will be required to determine the potential for sensitive
species to occur within these new development areas. In addition,the reconnaissance-level surveys will also
be used to spot check and confirm findings of the previous surveys, as necessary,to ensure no changes
have taken place since the 2011 surveys and the most up to date information is provided in the EIR.
MBA will identify the property's biological resources, and prepare a detailed description of the plant
communities and wildlife habitats occurring within the project site,which is required for inclusion in a CEQA
document. The distribution of plant communities and wildlife habitats will be mapped in detail
topographically represent the existing site conditions. Our field surveys will focus on determining suitable
habitat for sensitive plant and wildlife species as well as any sign of wildlife movement through the property
and linkages to important habitat. Current photos will be taken to further document the biological resources
of the site.
The additional reconnaissance-level field surveys will provide sufficient information to determine if sensitive
biological resources potentially occur within the new areas of the development, in addition to confirming the
findings from the previous surveys on the project as a whole. Sensitive biological resources identified during
the reconnaissance-level surveys will be mapped with the aid of topographic maps, current aerial
photographs,and GPS units with sub-meter accuracy. Sensitive biological resources include any plants,
animals, or habitats considered rare, endangered,threatened,sensitive, or otherwise unique by government
agencies,such as the CDFW and the USFWS, or other recognized conservation organizations,such as the
California Native Plant Society, CNDDB. A Biological Resources Study will be prepared to document the
existing conditions and provide recommendations for additional action items, if necessary. This scope of
work is based on an estimate of 3 consecutive days of surveys during the spring survey season.
It is anticipated that the information obtained as part of the 2011 effort and the updated information
collected in 2013 reconnaissance-level surveys will be sufficient enough to complete a Biological Resources
Study that can be used to prepare the EIR. The Biological Resources Study does not included focused
surveys for threatened or endangered plant and/or animal species, but does provide a detailed habitat
assessment and will included recommended focused surveys if necessary. The report will include
appropriate mitigation measures associated with potentially occurring sensitive plant and wildlife species.

Jurisdictional Delineation
Due to the presence of blue line streams within the project site, FCS-MBA has presented a Jurisdictional
Delineation. Although this study is not required for the purposes of satisfying CEQA requirements, reviewing
resource agencies may have comments about potential impacts to jurisdictional features and,therefore,
having this information available would be advantageous to the City and applicant.
The project site contains numerous drainages that vary from intermittent and ephemeral streams to upland
swales. A delineation of jurisdictional waters and wetlands is required to map the jurisdictional limits of the
existing drainages on site. Project related impacts to drainage features will require the applicant to process
permits under Section 404 and Section 401 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)and under Section 1602 of the
California Department of Fish &Wildlife Code.
The Jurisdictional Delineation (JD)will be conducted in accordance with regulations set forth in 33 CFR part
328 and the USACE guidance documents referenced below:
• USACE Wetlands Research Program Technical Report Y-87-1(on-line edition), Wetlands Delineation
Manual, Environmental Laboratory, 1987 (Wetland Manual).
• USACE Guidelines for Jurisdictional Determinations for Waters of the United States in the Arid
Southwest, 2001(Arid Southwest Guidelines).
• USACE Minimum Standards for Acceptance of Preliminary Wetlands Delineations, November 30,
2001(Minimum Standards).
• USACE Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:Arid
West Region, December 2006 (Arid West Supplement).
• USACE Jurisdictional Determination Form Instructional Guidebook, May 30, 2007 (JD Form
Guidebook, Rapanos Guidance).
• USACE Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 08-02,June 26 2008(RGL 08-02).
The JD process begins with an analysis of topographic maps and aerial photography(including historical
aerial photographs where necessary)to determine the potential location of jurisdictional features and there
connectivity to downstream navigable waters. Features of interest include lakes, ponds, streams, and
wetlands.
Based on the map/photo analysis, FCS-MBA staff will conduct a jurisdictional field survey of the project site.
This survey will include identification of all potential jurisdictional features on the project site. Each potential
jurisdictional feature will be thoroughly assessed, including recording width and length measurements,
evaluation of hydrophytic vegetation,soil morphology/series,flow regime/hydrology and the general function
and value of the resource. Connectivity to downstream resources will be field verified. The field survey will
be conducted by an FCS-MBA regulatory specialist and an FCS-MBA Biologist/Botanist.
A comprehensive JD report will be generated and submitted to the client for review. The JD will include a
summary and analysis of all collected data, and provide clear and concise scale maps/exhibits detailing the
relevant resources within the project area. Once approved by the client,the JD will be sent to USACE for
approval. Typically,the USACE will conduct a field verification of the data provided in the JD document.
Once verified,the USACE will issue a letter approving the JD and concurring with the jurisdictional findings in
the report.
This task includes the cost of one site visit/field verification with the USACE and/or the EPA(in their over-site

tasks
■ Identify transportation-related noise sources such as major arterial roadways, railroads, and aircraft
noise(if any), and stationary(non-transportation related) noise impacts from adjacent land uses to
the project study area. Identify applicable noise regulations and thresholds of significance.
■ Evaluate the existing noise environment and obtain up to eight(8)short-term noise measurements
and up to four(2)24-hour noise measurements in the vicinity of the project site in order to
determine the ambient noise conditions and to obtain reference noise measurements of the existing
onsite stationary noise sources. Noise measurements are planned offsite to capture the noise
impacting the nearby residences as well as any other potentially impacted nearby sensitive
receptors that are identified during field monitoring.
■ Utilize Sound Plan Version 7.0 with the Federal Highway Administration Transportation Noise Model
algorithm and the reference construction equipment noise level provided by the Federal Highway
Administration's Roadway Construction Noise Model Version 1.00 to analyze potential noise impacts
associated with demolition and construction activities and identify measures to minimize the noise
impacts. Analyze potential vibration impacts associated with construction activities through
application of the methodology used in the Transportation-and Construction-Induced Vibration
Guidance Manual (Vibration Guidance Manual), prepared for Caltrans.

confirm location of site at later date.
Task 3: Notice of Preparation and Scoping Meeting
FCS-MBA will prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) in accordance with requirements of CEQA Guidelines
Section 15082. Issuance of the NOP is the first milestone in the CEQA process and announces a lead
agency's intent to prepare an EIR. The NOP will identify the project location, provide a summary of the
proposed project, and list probable environmental effects, supported by color graphics. FCS-MBA will be
responsible for distributing the NOP to the State Clearinghouse and will provide copies to the City for local
distribution. This scope of work assumes that an Initial Study will not be prepared.
Following release of the NOP,this scope of work assumes that the City will hold a scoping meeting in
Atascadero,which FCS-MBA representatives will attend. FCS-MBA will be available to present an overview of
the NOP and CEQA process. All public comments received at the scoping meeting will be documented in the
Draft EIR.
Deliverables
■ One(1)electronic version (via email)of the draft NOP
■ Fifteen (15) hard copies of the final NOP and the Notice of Completion to the State Clearinghouse

Project Description
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15124,the project description will provide a comprehensive discussion
of the characteristics of the proposed actions. The project description will include:
■ Regional and local setting
■ Project history
■ Project objectives
■ Project characteristics and important project features
■ Intended uses of the EIR (as required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15124(d))will be provided,
including a list of responsible and other agencies expected to use the EIR in decision making,and a
list of approvals for which the EIR will be used, including the development agreement.
Utilizing the Specific Plan,the project description will provide color images of maps, plans, and photographs.
A key assumption in this scope of work is that a complete and stable project description will be developed
early in the Administrative Draft EIR process to allow for the timely completion of technical studies and other
EIR sections.
Aesthetics, Light,and Glare
The project contemplates new development in an area that contains rugged grazing land at the periphery of
the Atascadero city limits. As such, FCS-MBA will evaluate the expected change in visual character and light
and glare, including the effects of building height and massing, compatibility with surrounding uses,
alterations of views, and the effects of new lighting sources. The evaluation method will provide a
photographic and written inventory of existing site conditions and establish the baseline visual character.
Overall extent and quality of project site visibility will be documented. Based on available information
regarding design guidelines, development standards, and general characteristics of onsite development
features(i.e., building blocks describing height of buildings, location of said features onsite,sample
architectural photos, color and materials selections, etc.)the aesthetics analysis will specifically identify the
visual resources on-site and any other features that are of significance from key viewing areas. This
evaluation will have special emphasis on views from public corridors and vantage points. Critical viewing
areas will be identified, and photographs will be taken from each of the key viewing areas and used as the
basis for further analyzing the potential affects of Specific Plan implementation. Visual simulations will
document the project, evaluate the likely appearance of the Specific Plan and project alternatives as
proposed, and will show the effectiveness of any recommended mitigation measures. The photo-simulations
will thoroughly identify changes to the site and to the area's visual character,and will provide a valuable
method of public disclosure as well as a tool for project approval discussion. The Aesthetics section will
consider potential visual impacts to surrounding and distant hills.
The Aesthetics section will compare the existing on-site and through-site visual resources with the Specific
Plan elements as proposed, and will identify any potential impacts to visual character. The evaluation will
include all proposed and potential structures and site amenities, vegetation removal, roads,grading and
earthwork, utilities, lighting, landscaping, and other improvements for their complete effect on views. The
level of detail will be dependent upon the information available from the applicant. Being the information
will be more general in nature,the evaluation will provide the visual components that should be taken into
consideration at the time of more specific project design such as landscaping and layout of public areas,
street trees, and neighborhood amenities.

Agricultural Resources
Most of Eagle Ranch is mapped as either"Farmland of Local Potential" or"Grazing Land" by the California
Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. Accordingly, FCS-MBA will evaluate
potential impacts on agricultural resources that may occur as a result of the proposed project. The analysis
will address the City/County Memorandum of Understanding and San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation
Commission policies that concern agricultural resources.
Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Buildout of the project would entail construction and operation activities that would emit criteria air
pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. FCS-MBA will use the aforementioned Air Quality/Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Analysis as the basis for assessing impacts. The air quality modeling data will be provided as
an appendix to the EIR.
Biological Resources
The project boundaries contain rugged grazing land, which may support special-status species such as
migratory birds. As such, FCS-MBA will use the aforementioned Biological Resources Analysis as the basis
for assessing impacts. The Biological Resources technical reports will be provided as an appendix to the EIR.
Cultural Resources
The project boundaries contain rugged grazing land that contains recorded cultural resources. As such, FCS-
MBA will use the aforementioned Cultural Resources Analysis as the basis for assessing impacts. The
Cultural Resources technical reports will be provided as an appendix to the EIR.
Please note that State law requires the lead agency(City of Atascadero)to consult with local tribes regarding
the proposed Project. These tribal consultation requirements are triggered by the proposed General Plan
Amendment and are independent of CEQA. This scope of work assumes that Albion Environmental and the
City will be responsible for all tribal consultation activities.
Geology,Soils,and Seismicity
The project area is located within a seismically active region of California. FCS-MBA will evaluate the
geologic, soil, and seismic conditions within the project site and evaluate potential impacts that may occur
from the proposed project. FCS-MBA will use the aforementioned geotechnical information provided by the
applicant team to assess impacts. The geotechnical information will be provided as an appendix to the EIR.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The project boundaries contain rugged grazing land. FCS-MBA will evaluate the potential for the proposed
project to create significant public safety hazards or expose human health or the environment to hazardous
materials. FCS-MBA will use information from the Project about existing land use activities and structures to
assess the potential for the presence of hazardous materials. FCS-MBA will also review readily available
information from authoritative information sources about potentially hazardous conditions(e.g., leaking
underground storage tanks, large quantity hazardous material users, etc.). Finally,the aforementioned Fire
Services Review prepared by Citygate Associates will be used as the basis for assessing impacts on wildland
fires.

Hydrology and Water Quality
Buildout of the Project would involve construction and operation activities that have the potential to create
polluted runoff, increase impervious surface coverage, and create downstream drainage problems. FCS-
MBA will evaluate the hydrologic and water quality conditions within the project site and evaluate potential
impacts that may occur from proposed project. FCS-MBA will use the aforementioned hydrological/drainage
information provided by the applicant team to assess impacts. The hydrological/drainage information will be
provided as an appendix to the EIR.
Land Use
The proposed project involves a General Plan Amendment, Pre-Zone, annexation, and adjustments to the
City's Urban-Reserve Line and Urban Service Line. FCS-MBA will evaluate the project's land use compatibility
and document consistency with all applicable policy documents. Consistency with all applicable General
Plan goals and policies will be provided in a matrix format. The project's provisions will be assessed for
consistency with the Municipal Code's standards. Finally,the proposed annexation will be assessed with
California Government Code Section 56668(also known as the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government
Reorganization Act of 2000),which establishes factors Local Agency Formation Commission agencies must
use in reviewing adjustments to jurisdictional boundaries.
Noise
Buildout of the project would involve construction and operation activities that would generate noise that
could expose surrounding land uses to excessive noise levels. FCS-MBA will use the aforementioned Noise
Analysis as the basis for assessing impacts. The noise modeling data will be provided as an appendix to the
EIR.
Population and Housing
The proposed project involves the development of 494 single-family residential lots and 93 multifamily
dwelling units, as well as new nonresidential uses. FCS-MBA will assess the potential for the project to cause
direct and indirect population growth from the development of new urban uses and the extension of urban
infrastructure to the project site. In addition, FCS-MBA will assess the potential for removal of existing
dwelling units to result in a need for the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.
Public Services and Recreation
FCS-MBA will evaluate public service providers that would serve the proposed project and evaluate potential
impacts that may occur from buildout of the project. FCS-MBA will consult with affected public service and
utility purveyors to assess potential impacts of the proposed project affect. FCS-MBA will review relevant
information sources such as Municipal Service Reviews and Service Provider Annual Reports to obtain
relevant information. The following public services will be analyzed:
■ Fire Protection/ Emergency Medical Services
■ Police Protection
■ Schools
■ Parks
■ Other Public Facilities
■ Recreational Facilities (including Trails)
FirstCarbor� 20
SOLUTIONS
The aforementioned Fire Services Review prepared by Citygate Associates will be used as the basis for
assessing impacts on fire protection/emergency medical services. For the other service providers, FCS-
MBA will prepare questionnaires that will be sent to them to solicit their input on the project.
The Recreational Facilities analysis will include an assessment of a proposed trail connection (or easement
for future trail connection) between the eastern and western portions of Eagle Ranch that would close a gap
in the regional trail system. This assessment will evaluate the compatibility of this trail connection with the
Eagle Ranch grazing operations, potential safety issues such as wildland fires, and potential biological
resource impacts. This assessment will rely on information contained in the biological resources,fire safety,
and transportation impact analysis technical studies.
Transportation
Buildout of the project uses would generate new trips, alter traffic circulation patterns, create a need for
roadway improvements, and increase the use of public transit, bicycle, and pedestrian modes of
transportation. The aforementioned Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by W-Trans will be used as the basis for
assessing impacts on transportation.
Utility Systems
FCS-MBA will evaluate existing utility systems within the project vicinity and evaluate potential impacts that
may occur from buildout of the project. A key assumption in this scope of work is that the applicant will
provide a Water Supply Assessment, which will be used as the basis for assessing impacts on water supply.
Moreover,the applicant is also expected to provide information septic systems in terms of the area of impact
and assumptions for percolation. In addition, FCS-MBA will rely on the applicant to provide information
about proposed utility connections and facilities that would serve the project. The following utility systems
will be analyzed:
■ Water Supply
• Wastewater/Septic
■ Storm Drainage
■ Solid Waste
• Energy
Cumulative Effects
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15130,the EIR will address the cumulative effects as a result
of project buildout in combination with other projects. FCS-MBA will describe the reasonably foreseeable
projects within a City-approved defined study area that may result in cumulative impacts associated with the
proposed project. FCS-MBA will work closely with City staff to ensure the EIR is prepared at the appropriate
level of detail and pertinent projects are evaluated. As identified above,we assume the City will provide
information on all reasonably anticipated projects to FCS-MBA so cumulative projects can be adequately
addressed.
Cumulative projects may be defined within a specified area around each project site as(1) projects
constructed, but not occupied; (2) projects approved, but not constructed; (3) pending projects for which pre-
filing or filing of an application with its respective lead agency has occurred; and (4)anticipated or
announced projects for which no application has yet been filed with the lead agency. However, note that the
evaluation area for cumulative impacts would vary, depending upon the technical issue to be addressed. For
I�• FirstCarbori"' 21
wSOLUTIONS
r
instance,the evaluation area for air quality encompasses the local air basin,while the evaluation area for
traffic encompasses the local roadway network. Findings of recent court cases will be used to address all
pertinent issues. Cumulative projects will be discussed for each technical issue.
Alternatives
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6,the EIR will evaluate a range of feasible alternatives to the
proposed project. Up to six alternatives will be evaluated. One of the alternatives will be the CEQA-
mandated "No Project Alternative,"which will evaluate the circumstance under which the project does not
proceed. Based on direction provided by City staff,the No Project Alternative will consist of the development
of 452 Colony homes on the project site in accordance with the existing subdivision. This alternative will be
evaluated in detail, including with the use of visual simulations to evaluate potential tree removal and
hillside development impacts and a comparison of level of service impacts on various roadway facilities.
Other alternatives are anticipated consist of a No Project/ No Development Alternative and one that reduces
the project's footprint and development intensity. A matrix will be provided comparing the relative
differences of each alternative to the proposed project in terms of avoiding or substantially lessening
significant physical impacts on the environment. In addition,the Alternatives section will address the
feasibility of an alternative location using the criteria established in CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(f).
Finally,the Alternatives section will discuss any alternatives that were initially considered but rejected from
further consideration.
Effects Found Not To Be Significant
CEQA Guidelines Section 15143 establishes that EIRs shall focus on significant impacts on the environment
and need not discuss in detail effects that are clearly insignificant or unlikely to occur. Accordingly,the
following topical area is anticipated to be scoped out to the Effects Found Not To Be Significant section of
the EIR:
■ Mineral Resources
This section will also address certain checklist items within topical areas that will be evaluated in detail in
the EIR (e.g., hydrology and water quality), but which are clearly insignificant or unlikely to occur(e.g.,
tsunami inundation).
Other CEQA Required Sections
This section will address the CEQA-required issues of significant environmental effects that cannot be
avoided (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126[b]), growth inducement(CEQA Guidelines Section 15126[d]), and
energy conservation (CEQA Guidelines Appendix F).
Specifically, FCS-MBA will discuss all significant unavoidable adverse impacts, in conformance with CEQA
Guidelines,Section 15126(b). The discussion will include any impacts that can be partially mitigated, but
not to a level that is less than significant. Any mitigation measures considered, but eliminated from
suggestion because of new impacts that would be associated with their implementation,will also be
discussed.
FCS-MBA will also discuss any potential growth-inducing impacts of the proposed project. Potential sources
of growth inducement and their corresponding impacts,such as removal of obstacles to growth (i.e.,
extension of infrastructure), new employment generation, or major economic influences,will be qualitatively

County Clerk's Office within 5 business days of EIR certification. The purpose of the Notice of Determination
filing is to limit the legal challenge period to 30 days. If a Notice of Determination is not filed within 5
business days of certification,the legal challenge period defaults to 180 days. The Notice of Determination
filing requires payment of the California Department of Fish and Game CEQA filing fee(currently$2,919)and
a County handling fee(currently$50).

Cost Estimate
Cost Control
The responsibility for project cost management at FCS-MBA is borne directly by the Project Manager, who, in
FirstCarbon'' 28
SOLUTIONS
turn, is supported by FCS-MBA's internal job-cost accounting system. Job-cost accounting procedures foster
effective budget control by supplying data on costs incurred by a job, broken down into any level of
subcategories desired, and specifically tailored to a job. Such procedures provide information useful to
management in containing costs on a job and other valuable information concerning methods and efficiency.
Cost Estimate Methodology and Fee
Presented in this section is FCS-MBA's cost estimate for the proposed project. The cost estimate is based on
FCS-MBA's hourly rates.
Task 1: Project Initiation $4,500
Task 2: Technical Studies —
Technical Study:Visual Simulations(FCS-MBA) $25,000
Technical Study:Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Analysis(FCS-MBA) $19,700
Technical Study:Type A Health Risk Assessment(FCS-MBA) $8,500
Technical Study: Biological Resources Study(FCS-MBA) $19,000
Technical Study:Jurisdictional Delineation (FCS-MBA) $18,500
Technical Study: Cultural Resources Analysis(Albion Environmental) $37,400
Technical Study: Fire Service Review(Citygate Associates) $27,000
Technical Study: Noise Analysis(FCS-MBA) $18,500
Technical Study:Transportation Analysis(W-Trans) $80,700
Technical Study: Water Supply Assessment/ Peer Review Services $28,600
(Wallace Group)
Task 3: Notice of Preparation and Scoping Meeting $8,500
Task 4: Administrative Draft EIR $98,000
Task 5: Screencheck Draft EIR $24,500
Task 6: Draft EIR $10,000
Task 7: Administrative Final EIR $23,000
Task 8: Screencheck Final EIR $8,500
Task 9: Final EIR $3,500
Task 10: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program $2,500
Task 11: Findings/Statement of Overriding Considerations $7,500
Task 12: Notices $1,500
FrstCarbon® 29
SOLUTIONS
Task 13: Meetings/Hearings $13,500
Task 14: Project Management and Coordination $25,000
Direct Costs(i.e., printing, postage,travel, etc.) $13,500
TOTAL $526,900
TOTAL EIR PROFESSIONAL FEES WITH 10%CONTINGENCY $579,590
The assumptions used in calculating the above fees are:
1. The fee is valid for up to 30 days from the date of this scope, after which it may be subject to
revision.
2. A total of 130 hours of staff time is assumed for responding to comments on the Draft EIR.
Additional time will be billed on a time-and-materials basis with authorization from the City.
3. The City will be responsible for distribution of public review documents.
4. This price is based upon completion of the work within the proposed schedule. If delays occur that
are outside of FCS-MBA control, an amendment of the price would be warranted to accommodate
additional project management and other costs, and to reflect adjustments for updated billing rates.
5. Costs have been allocated to tasks, based upon FCS-MBA's proposed approach. During the work,
FCS-MBA may, on its sole authority, re-allocate costs among tasks and/or direct costs,as
circumstances warrant,so long as the adjustments maintain the total price within its authorized
amount.
6. The FCS-MBA Project Manager will be the primary representative at the project meeting and public
hearing.
7. Printing costs are based on the method of printing and binding proposed, numbers of copies
proposed as work products,and estimated page lengths. Document printing costs are estimated
and will be finalized at the time of printing. On further clarification of the documents and reports
(paper and/or digital CD)that the City will need during the preparation effort, FCS-MBA will
specifically identify a detailed reproduction work plan with more specific costs.
8. A 10%contingency fee has been included,which would go to fund unforeseen work tasks during the
EIR process. Use of these funds would be at the discretion of the City in consultation with the
project applicant. Note,for the purposes of this scope of work,the assumptions is that 6 percent of
the contingency would be available for tasks up through completion of the Draft EIR. Utilization of
the additional 4 percent, or portion thereof, prior to completion of the Draft EIR would be at the
discretion of the City and the applicant.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report — City Manager's Office
Partnership between the City and the Historical Society
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement with the Atascadero
Historical Society, terminating and dissolving the Lease Agreement entered into
on July 27, 1993 with the Society by declaring that it is necessary to use the
Lower Rotunda in the Historic City Hall for a Central Reception; and,
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding that
documents the establishment of a partnership between the City and the Society
that will focus on preserving Atascadero's past and incorporating it into our
future.
DISCUSSION:
In 1993, the City and the Historical Society entered into a Lease Agreement, leasing to
the Historical Society the "lower Rotunda and the limited use of Room 104 as scheduled
and approved by the Community Services Director" in the City Administration Building.
The term of the Lease is 25 years, terminating in 2018.
In 2003, the damage sustained from the San Simeon earthquake forced everyone to
vacate the Historic City Hall for safety reasons. The City employees ultimately settled in
the current City Hall Annex, the Society members moved most of their museum pieces
into storage, and the balance into their Colony House. In planning the restoration of
City Hall, it was decided that creating a Central Reception area in the lower Rotunda
would make the City Hall more user friendly to the community.
The City approached the Society about the termination of their Lease on the lower
Rotunda to create a Central Reception area. City employees and members of the
Society began discussing the future of the City Hall and the Society. Both parties
agreed that:
ITEM NUMBER: C - 1
DATE: 04/23/13
• Historical tourism is a valuable asset to Atascadero and the Society.
• The Historic City Hall should have an impressive reception area in the lower
Rotunda room, reminiscent of the era of the building.
• There should be numerous historical displays throughout the restored City Hall.
• The Society may create a docent program at City Hall which will include a docent
at the City Hall Central Reception counter to answer questions and provide tours
of the building.
• Docents and City employees may be cross-trained to assist each other at the
Central Reception counter.
After many discussions, meetings, and field trips to other City Halls and museums, it
was agreed that the City and the Society would work together to share Atascadero's
history with citizens and visitors, while at the same time making City Hall more efficient
for the public.
The City plans on dedicating certain areas of the City Hall for the Society to display
historical materials, including some conference rooms, the Central Reception area, and
other areas as agreed upon by the City and the Society. The locations for displays in
the City Hall may increase, decrease, or change as we mutually evaluate the best
locations for the displays. The Society will have the opportunity to provide tours of the
City Hall to allow visitors to view the displays throughout the building, and view the City
Hall itself, as it is also an important piece of our history.
To accomplish the goals of the City and the Society, the original Lease Agreement for
the lower Rotunda and conference rooms will need to be dissolved. The City and the
Society have agreed to dissolve the Lease Agreement. Although the City and the
Society have mutually agreed to terminate the Lease, the Lease Agreement only
includes one provision for termination as follows:
The Landlord may, with good cause and upon one hundred eighty-three (183)
days prior written notice to tenant, cancel the Lease.
Good cause includes, but is not limited to:
o Repeated or uncorrected non-compliance of the Lease terms
o Environmental conditions that require the use of the facility for other
purposes
o The City Council declares in a public hearing that it is necessary to use
the facility for other purposes
Therefore, in order to achieve the City's and Society's mutual goals, the City Council
must declare that it is necessary to use the Lower Rotunda for other purposes. It is
staff's recommendation that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the
Agreement with the Atascadero Historical Society, terminating and dissolving the Lease
Agreement entered into on July 27, 1993 with the Society by declaring that it is
necessary to use the Lower Rotunda in the Historic City Hall for a Central Reception,
ITEM NUMBER: C - 1
DATE: 04/23/13
and authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding that
documents the establishment of a partnership between the City and the Society that will
focus on preserving Atascadero's past and incorporating it into our future.
City employees are excited to be able to share the wonderful building that we will be
fortunate to work in every day. The Society members are excited to have this
opportunity to set up historic displays within the building and share the displays and the
building with the community. This partnership is perpetual, and expected to evolve and
expand as both parties work together at making the Historic City Hall an attraction for
the community.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will lose $100 per year with the termination of the lease for the lower Rotunda.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose to continue to lease the first floor Rotunda to the Historical
Society. This is not recommended, as the City Hall will not have an adequate Central
Reception area.

A tascadero City Council
Staff Report — Community Development Department
General Plan & Housing Element
Annual Progress Report 2012
(PLN 2006-1133)
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends:
City Council submit the attached 2012 Annual General Plan and Housing Report to the
State of California.
DISCUSSION:
Background: The State of California requires all cities to file an Annual General Plan
Progress Report to the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and an annual Housing
Element Progress Report to the Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD). The purposes of this reports is to monitor the City's implementation of the City's
General Plan including the City's Housing Element, one of the required elements that
make up the General Plan.
General Plan Background
California planning law requires the City to adopt a "comprehensive, long-term General
Plan for physical development" (Government Code 65300). The City's General Plan
was adopted in 2002 after a two-year long public outreach and input effort by the City
Council, Planning Commission, City Staff and its consultants.
The 2025 General Plan expresses the City's goals for the distribution and character of
land uses and development. The General Plan is comprehensive in terms of issues
addressed and includes the City's entire physical development areas. Planning activities
including zoning approvals and amendments, subdivision approvals, capital
improvements, and redevelopment activities need to be consistent with the City's
General Plan. The General Plan goals, policies, and programs guide short- and long-
range decision making.
ITEM NUMBER: C - 2
DATE: 04/23/13
Development Activities for 2012
The City Council approved only one General Plan Amendment in 2012 (Del Rio Road
Commercial Area Specific Plan). In 2012, the Building Division of the Community
Development Department received 712 building permit applications and issued 699
building permits. The Building Division "finaled" or completed 557 building permits. The
Planning Division received 22 applications for various permits including tree removals,
Design Review Committee Reviews, Conditional Use Permit Amendments,
Administrative Use Permits and Conditional Use Permits. There were no zone text
change amendments adopted in 2012.
General Plan Updates and Maintenance
City Staff has reviewed the policies and programs (the implementation tools) of the
City's General Plan. At this time the City's has implemented many of the programs
called out for in the 2025 General Plan. Many of the programs are labeled "on-going".
This signifies that City Staff is continually performing these tasks on an as needed
basis.
The City updated its Housing Element in 2011. It also updated its Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) funding priority list for consistency with the approved Del Rio Road
Commercial Area Specific Plan in 2012.
Two items of note that need to be updated when funding is available to implement the
City's General Plan are the City's Appearance Review Manual and the Circulation
Element. The Appearance Review Manual was expected to become a major
implementation tool as a part of the adoption of the City's General Plan, however due to
significant budget constraints, no major amendments or overhaul of this manual has
been completed to date other than reformatting and additional images and sketches.
The Planning Commission and City Council should provide staff input and direction on
these programs that direct Staff to implement changes to the Appearance Review
Manual.
The City's Circulation element has not been revised since adoption. In 2008, the State
of California passed legislation known as the "California Complete Streets Act."
Commencing in 2011, any major revision to the circulation element will need to include
a "plan for a balanced, multimodal transportation network that meets the needs of all
users of the streets, roads, and highways for safe and convenient travel in a manner
that is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban context of the general plan." Although no
major revisions are planned, City Staff will need to evaluate when an update should be
undertaken to remain competitive for grant funding provided by the State. This may be
more imperative as the City will seek funding for various capital improvement projects
with the elimination of Redevelopment funding.
2012 Housing Activities and Report
The 2nd section of the yearly general plan review is the Housing Element Report. 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
ITEM NUMBER: C - 2
DATE: 04/23/13
Allocation (RHNA). The allocations are targets for the production of affordable housing
for various income groups throughout the City.
Table 1
State of California Income Level Definitions
Very Low Income Lower Income Moderate Income Above Moderate
50% of County 80% of County 120% of County Greater than 120% of
Median Median Median County Median
San Luis Obispo County Median Income for a Family of Four(4):$75,400 for 2012
These regional housing allocations are required to be used by the City when updating
the housing element. They are the basis for assuring that adequate sites and zoning are
available to accommodate at least the number of units allocated. These housing
allocation numbers are not housing unit quotas that the City must achieve within the
time frame of their next housing element update, but housing targets that the City must
provide zoning for and reduce obstacles to development.

In 2012 the City has seen a sharp increase in the issuance of building permits. The
City's Dormant Permit Program, approved by the City Council in 2008, is a primary
catalyst in the recent development. Of the permits issued in 2012, 96 of the 103 (93%)
total permits are residential units that were a part of the Dormant Permit Program.
Normally, these permits would have been canceled, making developers start from
scratch. The implementation of this program has afforded developers an opportunity to
pick up where these permits last left with minor modifications, thus expediting this
portion of the process.

Many of these dormant projects included an affordable housing production requirement
as a part of their conditions of approval. As a result of the City's dormant permit
program, 2012 was a great year for affordable housing production. Most notably, Oak
Grove Phase II off of EI Camino Real was purchased by People's Self Help Housing.
Construction has commenced on this project which will create 24 very low and low
income housing. Half of the project's 24 units were issued in 2012 and are reflected in
this year's affordable housing production. Additional affordable housing units were
produced in the Dove Creek and Las Lomas development areas.
2012 Affordable Housing Production
Of the total building permits issued, a total of 71 units were considered affordable. The
majority of these affordable units were located in Oak Grove Phase II development,
Dove Creek, and Las Lomas Apartments. Similar to 2011, permits that were issued at
Dove Creek in 2012 have sales prices that fall below the "moderate" income group
maximum sales price for both 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom units established by San Luis
Obispo's County's Previously Approved Project Formula. Staff reviewed posted rental
prices for the Las Lomas Apartments and compared those with the July 2012 affordable
rental rates in San Luis Obispo County as well as utility allowances from the San Luis
Obispo Housing Trust. Of the 40 issued permits, eight (8) 3-bedroom units were
deemed affordable in the moderate category.
In addition to those units deemed affordable based on rental and sales prices, Dove
Creek commenced construction on four (4) deed restricted very low income units that
were required as a part of the City Council's inclusionary housing policy. As a part of the
Conditions of Approval for the Las Lomas Apartments, Phase I construction will include
two (2) deed restricted one-bedroom low income units and three (3) deed restricted
moderate income two-bedroom units. Staff will work with the developer to ensure these
deed restrictions are recorded prior to building finals of Phase 1 units.
People's Self-help Housing obtained 12 residential building permits. Of those permits,
four (4) very low income units, and eight (8) were low income units that were issued.
Additionally, 2nd Units within the City that were constructed are defined as "affordable" if
the cost per square foot for a typical rent in Atascadero ($1.09/sf based on the San Luis
Obispo Multi-Family Housing Rental Survey) multiplied by the square footage of the
second unit. If the rent falls within an income category, that unit is deemed affordable for
that income type.
The median home price in Atascadero for a new or existing home or condo in 2012
according the California Realtors Association was $305,400. This median home price
still gives the ability for moderate income wage earners to become homeowners for the
first time. Median home price expected to increase for 2013.
2013 Housing Production Projections
The City expects the same or more housing production in 2013. As of February 1, 2013,
the City has already issued 14 single family homes. In addition, City Staff is working
with developers at the Oakhaven Village, Southside Villas, and additional phases in Las
ITEM NUMBER: C - 2
DATE: 04/23/13
LomasMoodlands. All these developers expect to commence construction this year on
a variety of residential projects ranging from typical single family residential, small lot
single family residential, condos and townhomes. Based on the remaining permits left in
the City's Dormant Permit Program, over 220 units are expected to commence and
complete construction over the next two to three years.

Section 1
A. Purpose of the Annual Report
Section 65400 of the California Government Code requires the City to file an annual
report addressing the status of the General Plan and progress made toward goals and
objectives. This annual report provides a means to monitor the success of implementing
the General Plan and determine if changes need to be made in the plan or its
implementation programs.
The City of Atascadero held a publicly noticed meeting to discuss the findings of the
General Plan Annual report with the Planning Commission on March 5, 2013. The City
Council accepted this report and directed City Staff to submit both the Office of
Research and Planning (OPR) and Housing and Community Development Department.
B. Purpose of the General Plan
The General Plan serves two primary functions. First, the General Plan provides
information. Second, it states the community's goals, objectives, policies, and
implementation measures (i.e., ways to achieve the goals and objectives). The General
Plan is available for public review at the Front Counter at the Community Development
Department, the San Luis Obispo County Atascadero Branch Public Library and also on
the City's website. Each member of the City Council and the Planning Commission has
a copy of the General Plan, as well as each City department.
As an informational document, the General Plan describes existing conditions, makes
projections, and establishes a vision for the community's future. The General Plan
provides the public with information about the City and the direction that it seeks to
move. It also provided the public with a blueprint for how, when and where will the City
grow through 2025.
As a policy document, the General Plan establishes goals and policies for decision
makers. Using these policies, the City Council and Planning Commission take steps
toward achieving the larger goals of the City. The City focuses implementation
programs contained in the General Plan through day to day operations of the City.
C. Status of the Adopted Elements of the City's General Plan
State law requires that the General Plan include seven elements. These elements must
cover the following topics: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Safety, Noise, Conservation,
and Open Space. State law also allows the City to adopt any additional general plan
elements that the City deems necessary. The City of Atascadero General Plan
combines the Land Use, and Open Space and Conservation elements into one singular
section. The following is a breakdown of the City's General Plan:

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report — City Manager's Office
Strategic Planning 2013
Council Goals and Action Plan
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Adopt the goals selected at the Strategic Planning Workshop of January 25-26,
2013; and,
2. Approve the related action plans implementing Council Goals.
DISCUSSION:
The City utilizes a two-year Budget prepared in odd numbered years following an
election. Since 1997 the City has used a Strategic Planning process as the foundation
of the Budget. The Strategic Plan is the City's major policy document identifying City
Council goals while the Budget is the implementation plan.
The City adopted the Strategic Planning approach as a comprehensive process to deal
effectively with the many problems and issues facing the City. Through a systematic
program, the City anticipates the future, examines trends in the environment, assesses
the capabilities of the organization and forces the organization to look at what it is and
what it should be in order to deliver effective service to the citizenry. This process
provides the Council an opportunity to discuss the many issues and priorities throughout
the community and focus the organization on Council priorities. As an organization we
can accomplish most any project, however, we cannot do everything. As the City
Council sets clear priorities and provides appropriate resources, we can advance the
top priorities.
ITEM NUMBER: C - 3
DATE: 04/23/13
The current Strategic Planning Goals are:
1. Promote Common Sense Regulations and Reform
2. Provide High Quality Public Safety Services
3. Promote the Atascadero Lake Park, Pavilion, Veterans Memorial and Zoo as
an Event Center
4. Promote Environmental Stewardship
5. Pursue Economic Development
6. Pursue more connection between the City Council and Community
The Process
The City Council met at a special meeting on January 25-26, 2013 to develop goals and
related action plans for the City. At this Workshop, the City Council reviewed the City's
financial condition and policies, discussed communication styles and expectations of the
Mayor and the Council. The Council discussed issues currently facing the City,
reviewed organizational strengths and weaknesses and developed goals for 2013-2015
that are listed above.
The next step in the process is to identify general action plans or steps for the
organization which is the action on tonight's agenda. Staff developed a series of
actions that would implement the Council goals. At tonight's meeting the Council
reviews the action plans to insure they are accurately depicted and represent the
Council priorities. These plans will then be used as the foundation for the two-year
budget that will be presented in June.
The action plans developed by staff to further outline the implementation of the
Council's goals are attached.
The Atascadero Elks Lodge requested that the City Council amend the Municipal Code
to allow for Remote Caller Bingo. At the Strategic Planning Workshop, the Council
discussed the item and determined if the Elks wanted to move forward with the
amendment, it could go through the normal process. If Staff determined that it fit within
a City work plan, it should be reviewed. The Elks would like to proceed with the
amendment and requested a fee waiver from the Zone Code Amendment Fee quoted
by staff. Staff reviewed the process and fee issues. The required amendment does not
amend the Zone Code, but other sections of the Municipal Code, so the processing is
simpler. Staff recommends a time and materials, not to exceed $500, approach to this
amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The two-year budget is based on the goals developed through the strategic planning
process. While there is no direct impact as a result of the approval of this work plan,
future budgets will be based on these goals, and specific projects may require the
expenditure of funds or additional resources.

Staff Report — Community Development Department
Strategic Planning 2013
Action Plan Update
Improved Plan Check Process
RECOMMENDATION:
Council receive and file this report.
DISCUSSION:
Background: At the City Council Strategic Planning meeting on January 25-26, 2013,
the Council identified the need to improve the City's building permit plan check process.
On average, the City processes about 700 building permit applications annually (see
chart on following pages). Although permit activity dropped over the past few years due
to the recession, this year has seen a significant uptick in activity. Each of these
permits must be plan checked for consistency with the California Building Code and the
City's local requirements. The plan check process includes everything from an over-
the-counter zoning clearance for a new business to a review of a multi-story hotel.
Depending on the complexity of the project, different levels of plan checking review are
required.
About 75% of building permit applications are relatively minor and are checked in-house
by Building and Planning staff.
In-House Plan Checks
• Swimming Pools / Spas
• Photovoltaic systems
• Residential additions, remodels and detached accessory structures based
on CRC (residential code)
• Code enforcement cases and substandard housing
• Minor tenant improvements on behalf of OED
ITEM NUMBER: C -4
DATE: 04/23/13
• Signs, flagpoles and similar structures
The remaining 25% of applications are more complex projects like new houses,
apartments and commercial buildings which require review by Building, Planning, Fire
and Public Works. The City uses a contract plan checker, California Code Check, to
handle the Building and Fire plan checks on these types of projects. Code Check is
paid at a rate of 66% of the plan check fee that is collected by the City.
Contract Plan Check
• New buildings
o single-family residential
o multi-family residential
o industrial
o commercial
o public
• Projects with structural modifications; site and building accessibility;
medical facilities; assembly occupancies; etc.
• Residential additions and remodels projects based on CBC (building
code)
• Mixed-use projects

DATE: 04/23/13
Analysis: The City has been using Code Check since the early 2000's. The primary
benefits of using a contract plan checker are:
• Reduced City staffing costs
(the City does not have a plan checker).
• Fast turnaround times
(before contracting with Code Check, City plan checks were backed up for
months).
• Higher level of expertise
(Code Check has structural and fire engineers that can properly review high risk
structures like theaters and hotels).
However, there are also drawbacks to contract plan check services such as difficult
communications between Code Check and the applicant, and overly complex review of
minor projects.
To address the Council's and public's concerns about the plan check process, staff
hosted a Contractor ndtable on February 7, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. at City Hall. Staff
sent out over 400 ails and a number of personal calls to encourage
attendance. The rpose o 119 ive individuals involved in the plan

2/7/13 Roundtable meeting attendees
Over 40 architects, engineers, contractors and developers attended the meeting. After
brief introductions and overviews, staff went around the room and asked every
participant for their comments and ideas on what works and what needs improvement in
the City's plan check process.
The primary themes that emerged from the Roundtable meeting were:
• Need to improve communications with the City's plan checkers
• Need to simplify the residential plan check process
• Concerns that City's fees are too high
• Question about whether the City's requirement for road improvements are
discouraging small projects.
In response to these concerns, staff has prepared the following-
