CUP Condition 31: "The applicant shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of screen landscaping along the highway 101 frontage and within the Cal Trans right-of-way as shown in EXHIBIT C. subject to staff and agency approval" The approved landscape exhibit identified a landscape buffer made up of large evergreen trees, dense screening trees, an understory of large shrubs, and mixed in low shrubs and ground cover. Landscape was identified on both the subject site and within the Caltrans right-of-way. \\cityhall\cdvlpmnt\— dre design review committee\reports in briefl11_03_11 dove creek dre sr ct.docx 2 ITEM NUMBER DATE: Dove Creek Master Plan of Development, Exhibit E-6 Highway 101 Landscape Buffer requirement • 1 w W, . w Vim . w... 2 q 0 �- �r 06., a, r THE VILLAGES OF DOVE CREEK DDC Exhibit E -b - Highway 101 Buffer w w4 - Landscape plans were completed and approved by Caltrans in 2006 for landscape installation along the Highway 101 frontage between Santa Barbara Road and San Diego Way, however, the landscape has not yet been installed. The landscape would be installed by the developer (Robbins Reed/Corona Dove Creek LLC.) and a maintenance bond would be held until the HOA accepts the landscape for permanent maintenance. The approved 2006 Caltrans plan includes: — 56 15 -gallon Live Oaks — 31 15 -gallon redbuds (accent trees for color) — Approximately 900 5 -gallon native shrubs including acacias, Manzanita, lilac, fennel bush, toyon, and coffeeberry Caltrans Landscape Planting Plan (Approved with Caltrans permit in 2006, See attachment #2 for complete plan) Atascadero Colony Sign ,I� �— Highway 101 & zoo sign/ Required Landscape I CLAP Amendment: \\cityhall\cdvlpmnt\— dre design review committee\reports in brief\11_03_11 dove creek dre sr ct.docx 3 ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 11-10-11 The project developer, Robbins Reed Inc, has submitted a letter requesting relief from the condition for Caltrans landscaping. See attachment #1. Removal of this Condition of Approval would require a CUP Amendment to be approved by Planning Commission. Robbins Reed, Inc. has identified several issues with the landscape, including: • Installation cost to the developer • Maintenance costs to the HOA • Caltrans prefers not to have new landscape installed in their right-of-way In order to reduce installation and maintenance costs, Staff recommends that the DRC consider reducing the amount of landscape within the Caltrans right-of-way, however, staff believes the landscape should not be eliminated completely. Highway 101 landscape is a vital part of community appearance and has been identified as a priory feature that the City should be focusing on in order to help with Economic Development. The Dove Creek frontage acts as a community gateway feature along Highway 101 and is a key site for implementing the long term vision for enhanced community appearance along the Highway 101 corridor. If the Dove Creek developer is released from the landscape requirements of the CUP, the landscape would need to be installed with a City initiated Highway 101 enhancement project, thereby transferring the cost of this landscape buffering on to the City. Waiving this condition for Dove Creek would also create a precedent for not requiring 101 landscaping, making it difficult to require other project along the highway to enhance their project frontages. In addition to the community appearance and residential buffering issues, the native tree replanting is important in order to mitigate the project development impacts, including removal of several mature coast live oaks and the re -contouring of existing knolls along the highway. Staff supports a reduction of Highway 101 landscaping, which would include the installation of the 56 live oak trees and 25% of the required shrubs (approx. 200 5 - gallon native shrubs). The oak trees will provide height and visual buffer for the Dove Creel residences, and have the most visual impact from the highway. As seen with the City's native tree replanting sites, it is important to plant a mixture of native shrubs along with the new oak trees in order to create a complete ecosystem for the new oaks to grow. This staff recommended reduced landscape would be less expensive for the developer to install, and inexpensive for the HOA to maintain in the future. Once established, the oaks and the few clusters of native shrubs would require no water and very minimal maintenance. Reducing the landscape in this manner would not require a CUP amendment as the tree planting could be found to be in substantial conformance with the Condition of Approval.

This requirement was placed on the project many years ago and since then many changes have occurred in the development environment. This condition is now placing an unnessary burden on the project that could impact the successful completion of the Dove Creek neighborhood. As such, we are formally requesting removal of the condition to landscape the Cal Trans Right -0f -Way. In order to assist with your evaluation of this requet I have provided a list of specific reasons as to why this condition is burdensome to the project. 1. I have talked with Cal Trans at length and while they are not required to maintain the landscaping in this area they do not want landscaping in this easement. They are willing to comply with the condition as imposed by the City however they do not see a benefit in completing this work. 2. Additionally, one of Cal Trans largest concerns is erosion control. Cal Trans works to get stabilized slopes along freeway frontage that works well in a natural/native condition. They expressed that this area is currently well stabilized and with creeks on both ends of the frontage and a downstream wetland they are concerned about the impacts unnessary new planting could have on erosion. We understand that re-establishment of stabilization is a requirement of the landscaping in this area however in order to make new planting become well established so as to provide the same Control as native vegetation is a challenge that usually requires several years. Cal Trans' stance is that it should be left "as is" since it works well and does not cause any traffic hazards due to runoff, nor does it discharge silt or sediments into the creeks. 3. The maintenance of the Right -of -Way (ROW) is conditioned to be funded by the existing Home Owners Association (li at Dove Creek. There is a large safety concern to have private maintenance crews working along the Highway without the support of any Cal Trans traffic control measures. 4. Since the maintenance of the ROW falls into the HOA responsibility it creates a large financial burden for the existing and future homeowners in the neighborhood. This Custom Home Builders I C:ommercwl (.unrractors 2403 PARKLAND TERRACE, SAN LUIS OBISPO. CA 93401 \\cityhall\cdvlpmnt\— dre design review committee\reports in brief\11_03_11 dove creek dre sr ct.docx 5 ITEM NUMBER: 2 DATE: 11-10-11 Exhibit 1: Applicant's Letter Requesting Condition Change ROBBINS REED I ref C 0 R P 0 R A T P D Cal Trans Relief Page 2 of 2 October 1. 2011 maintenance is a largecost (more than typical maintenance due to the hazardous conditions and insurance requirements of Cal Trans to work within their easements). The cost for this maintenance would impact the monthly HOA payment for every existing and new homeowner. In an environment when the current HOA budgets are underfunded and have almost 10% delinquency rates (the amount of homeowners who are behind in paying their dues) this added cost could threaten the overall success of the neighborhood. The HOA's (there are 2) for Dove Creek already have to impose special assessments and increase dues simply to stay ahead of current costs and create the proper reserve account balances for the future. By adding added costs to maintain an area that does not directly impact the beauty, usefulness, and overall neighborhood would not be viewed as a benefit to the homeowners and as such funding ROW maintenance would most likely not get the proper attention. This could lead to poorly maintained landscaping which in effect can be less appealing than the existing navite grasses that match all the other Highway slopes throuebt the City. 5. As we are starting to build the remaining homes in Dove Creek we are working with future homeowners to get financing for their new home however in the current economic environment — for lenders and borrowers — added costs associated with HOA dues can play a large part in somoene's ability to get funding. Since the cost of monthly HOA dues are part of the analysis in determining an affordable mortgage payment a large HOA payment could potentially lead to funding not being approved. With this being such a large factor it could impact the overall success of completing the homes in Dove Creek — it buyers cannot afford payments then we cannot continue to build homes. We greatly appreciate the consideration of the City regarding this matter. If you should require any additional information while reviewing the ,plans and letter please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 805.234.4935 or grant0robbinsreed.com_, I look forward to the opportunity to meet and disucss this in person. We trust the City will understand our position.

The new building would include 1,000 sf expansion of an existing automotive repair shop and 2,920 sf of additional indoor storage. The building would be 20 feet in height and be located at the rear of the property. The improvements would include the creation of additional parking for expanded business operations. ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 11-10-11 Amendment to Reinstate Expired Condition — CUP 2005-0161: On October 18, 2005, the Planning Commission approved CUP 2005-0161 allowing for a phased plan to build two 4,000 metal storage buildings on the project site. Phase II of the project was required to be constructed within 5 -years of project approval. Otherwise approval of Phase II would expire and become null and void, requiring a Conditional Use Permit amendment to reinstate. Currently one building containing 1,000 SF of storage space and a 3,000 SF for a transmission shop has been built. The applicant is now requesting an amendment to reinstate approval for the second building, which would include an additional 1,000 SF for the transmission shop and 2,920 SF of additional storage space. The proposed building would be located at the rear of the property, be 20 feet in height, and meet all required setbacks. The updated site plan would include 19 parking spaces. The Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC) identifies auto repair and services as a permitted use and warehousing as a conditional use in the Commercial Service zoning district. Buildings constructed within this district do not require front, rear, or side setbacks unless they include ground floor residential uses, are adjacent to residential zones or uses, are adjacent to an alley. However, buildings are required to have a minimum interior setback of 6 feet from other buildings.

This color scheme proposed a grey roof/building color to blend in with the existing metal sheeting. Staff recommends that the color of the new building be changed from the currently proposed gray color used to an earth tone color that matches the existing building that faces EI Camino Real. This recommended color change would reduce the industrial appearance of the proposed building and alleviate visual monotony at the site as a whole.

The proposal includes converting a vacant welding shop into a 1,755 square foot tire repair area, 2,400 square foot auto repair area, and an outdoor used tire and accessory vehicle storage area. ITEM NUMBER: 4 DATE: 11-10-11 Background: The Atascadero Zoning Ordinance allows for auto repair and services in the commercial retail zoning district through approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant had met with City Staff on August 10, 2011 to discuss the requirements of a conditional use permit. Staff provided a letter to the applicant discussing the necessary fees to complete the conditional use permit, as well as notify the applicant of municipal code violations that were witnessed during site visits after the meeting. Staff informed the applicant of violations that included major tenant improvements without a building permit, improper storage of materials on-site and operating the automotive repair business without a use permit or business license. The applicant formally submitted a CUP application on October 27, 2011. The City's municipal code requires an appearance review for all conditional use permits. Site Plan The applicant is proposing to convert the previous welding operation into a tire repair and auto repair shop. The applicant has proposed that the tire repair portion of the business be located near the main entry along EI Camino Real. The auto repair portion will be located at the rear of the building with the repair bay entry located off of La Linia Avenue. The site plan also shows two (2) proposed tire storage areas. The storage areas will be fenced off with a chain link fence, however these tire storage areas are not covered at this time. A new trash enclosure is proposed near the existing metal storage building, however the applicant has not provide any details on how the trash enclosure will look. The applicant has proposed vehicle storage on the remainder of the site. The applicant proposes to maintain the dirt/existing decomposed granite lot for the vehicle storage. The applicant has not proposed any changes to the exterior of the building, nor provided any landscaping plans showing areas of landscaping and plantings. The application did not indicate what will be stored in the existing metal storage building. z X4:8, (e) SIDEWALK/CURB/GUTTER Issues O o ASP • (e) ICC MA(:1 I.

DISCUSSION: Background: The DRC reviewed the Centennial Plaza project on September 15, 2011. At the meeting the Committee provided the following direction: 1. Move the pathway closer to Atascadero Creek. 2. Relocate the sculpture outside of the plaza. 3. Provide a sign for the plaza. 4. Incorporate memorial bricks into the plaza. 5. Consider a time capsule in the plaza. 6. Incorporate additional historic features around the plaza. 7. Include Wayfinding signs. 8. Provide plenty of lighting and electrical hook-up capacity. Staff has worked with the project architect, Thom Jess of Arris Studio Architects to incorporate these changes into the project (refer to color attachment for a full set of plans). Entry feature and wayfinding sign Plaza includes memorial bricks and time capsule location and additional lighting.

With the completion of the Galaxy Theatre at Colony Square, the pedestrian bridge has become the number one priority for the Redevelopment Agency. Staff is currently working on the environmental review and engineering for the pedestrian bridge, which is scheduled to be installed next summer, 2012. One of the primary purposes of the pedestrian bridge is to connect the Sunken Gardens to Colony Square. This will improve pedestrian circulation throughout the Downtown, which will benefit businesses and make more public parking available for Colony Square. In order to make this connection to the Sunken Gardens and East Mall, the City is acquiring a lot along East Mall. The 2,500 square foot lot is owned by the Olsen Family and is currently in escrow with the City. Once acquired, this lot will allow for a straight line pedestrian connection between East Mall and Colony Square via the pedestrian bridge.
