ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 3-14-13
Background
In 1983, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 1983-008) was approved by the Atascadero
Planning Commission to allow a boat sales lot at 3380 EI Camino Real. The 1983 CUP
included specific conditions for the use of the site, with limitations based on
neighborhood compatibility and Municipal Codes which were in place at the time. Boat
service/repair and outdoor storage were specifically excluded from the original CUP.
The 1983 CUP included a conceptual phase 2 plan for future development of the front
lot adjacent to EI Camino Real (3320 EL Camino Real). The front lot was, and still is,
developed with one single family residence.
Over the past twenty years, the boat sales business (VS Marine) has continued to grow
and expand over both of the subject sites. Recently, the front lot next to EI Camino
Real was fenced to provide a secure storage location for boats awaiting service, which
is also currently done on site.
This CUP amendment is being processed in order to create consistency between the
current use of the site and the approved Condition Use Permit. The CUP acts as the
Master Plan of Development for the site and controls the allowed use and build out of
the property. The service and storage uses are not currently included in the CUP for
the site, but can be permitted in the CPK zone as accessory uses to the sales lot if
identified in the Master Plan of Development.
Proposed Site Plan
The main boat sales area is located at the rear of the site, adjacent to HWY 101. The
main building, adjacent outdoor display area, EI Camino Real frontage improvements,
main parking lot and accessway were all permitted and installed in the 1980's and
1990's and are proposed to remain as installed.
A boat storage area has recently been fenced at the front of the site adjacent to EI
Camino Real. The fence is a solid metal screening fence consistent with Municipal
Code requirements for a storage yard. The backside of the boat storage area connects
with the boat service center, which is located at the back of the retail sales building next
to HWY 101 frontage. Fire Department access (knox box) and a 20 foot clear
accessway will be conditioned to be provided through the storage area to the rear of the
lot. A boat drop off area and extra customer parking is located near the site entrance
and storage yard gate.

DATE: 3-14-13
Accessory Structures
There are a few small accessory structures have been installed on site at the rear of the
lot without permits. Most of these are carport type structures to cover boats and RV's
which are stored on site. If permitted with the CUP amendment, building permits can be
issued for the carports and the footings would be installed per building code
requirements and inspected.
There is one sea -train storage container which has been installed without permits and is
used in conjunction with the service center. The storage container is located at the rear
of the lot, adjacent to HWY 101 frontage. Sea -trains are non -conventional construction,
and therefore require an architect to design the footings in order to be permitted. Staff
recommends the sea -train be painted to match the adjacent sales building if included
with the CUP amendment Master Plan of Development.
Landscape
With the installation of the storage area fence last year, the property owner also
installed a 10 -foot wide landscape buffer along EI Camino Real. The landscape area is
planted with attractive shrubs and drought tolerant landscape. Per Municipal Code
standards, Staff recommends that street trees be added to this existing landscape
planter. Per AMC section 9-4.125, Atascadero street trees (London Plan Sycamores)
are to be installed along public road frontages every 30 -foot on center.
Per Municipal Code section 9-6.163, a 10 foot landscape buffer is required at the back
of the lot between the boat service area and the HWY 101 frontage. There is only a
small gap in the existing landscape which needs to be planted near the service area in
order to complete the HWY 101 landscape buffer. Staff also recommends some
landscape be added to the front DG parking/drop off area near the front of the site
(AMC section 9-4.119).
AMC section 9-4.125 requires a 5 foot landscape buffer along the side property lines on
commercial lots. The northern side property line is currently fenced, and only visible
from within the boat storage yard. The adjacent use is a commercial park center with
parking lot. The applicant is requesting relief this Municipal Code requirement. City
Staff supports this request for waiver as the applicant has been agreeable to installing
landscape along the EI Camino Real and HWY 101 frontages where the landscape will
have much more impact on the more visible areas of the site. Based on the site design
and adjacent uses, the side property line landscape requirement does not appear to be
warranted and would have little benefit for this large landscaping expense.
AMC section 9-4.125 and 9-4.129 require that trash enclosures be provided for
screening of dumpsters on commercial lots. Landscaping is to be incorporated with a
solid enclosure. Staff recommends that the trash dumpsters either be kept at the rear of
the lot, behind the existing fences in the boast service area, or a permanent enclosure
be constructed if dumpsters need to be located towards the front of the lot.
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 3-14-13
Existing Single-family Residence
One existing single-family residence remains at the center of the subject properties.
Although the residential use is non -conforming in the commercial zone, it has been
continuously rented and is therefore a continuation of the existing use and permitted. In
1983, the City was concerned about the compatibility between the SFR and the
commercial sales lot. A lot line adjustment was completed to separate the uses.
Staff is currently recommending that the SFR be permitted with the proposed CUP for
interim use of the subject site. The tenant at the residence acts as a caretaker to
monitor the site and notify the owner of any nighttime activity or security concerns. The
residential unit is separated from the boat sales and storage uses with a solid 6 foot
fence. Private outdoor space is provided for the residence within the fenced area, and
parking is provided in front of the house near the boat storage parking area. Based on
the site operations over the past 20 years, the compatibility of the single-family use
does not appear to be an issue on the subject site.
Signage
The Atascadero Municipal Code allows for specific uses, such as vehicle sales lots, to
have freeway facing signs along the HWY 101 frontage. A freeway facing building sign
(up to 40 square feet for buildings under 10,000 sq. ft.) and a freeway monument or
pole sign (up to 150 sq. ft.) can be permitted with an Administrative Use Permit and
appearance review.
Currently, temporary banner type signs are installed on the main VS Marine sales
building facing HWY 101. A temporary monument type sign is located at the end of the
display area to advertise consignments along HWY 101. Staff recommends that
permanent signage be allowed through this Conditional Use Permit, and the temporary
signage on site be replaced with permanent signage within a specific timeframe as
identified by the CUP.
Lighting
In order to improve the security of the site, the applicant recently installed motion sensor
lights throughout the boat storage area. The security lights are flood light fixtures,
rather than the hooded down facing lights which are normally required by the Municipal
Code. Staff recommends that a Condition be added to the CUP to allow the existing
lights to remain, provided that they remain on motion sensors only. If the lights are to
be left on for permanent lighting (not just security motion sensors) then they would need
to be replaced with hooded fixtures. A building permit shall be obtained to permit and
inspect the electrical work that has been completed onsite.
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 3-14-13
Staff Recommendation
Staff is recommendina the followina items be conditioned with the CUP:
1. Boat storage, service center, existing single-family residence, and site
improvements to be included in CUP as proposed by applicant
2. Landscape to be added: street trees along EI Camino Real, HWY 101 screening
at service center, and parking lot landscape next to front boat drop off/parking
3. Side property line landscape requirement to be waived through CUP
4. Trash dumpsters to be kept at back of site (in service area) behind screening
fence, or permanent decorative enclosure to be installed
5. Sea -train to be painted to match adjacent sales building
6. Security lights to remain on motion sensor only, or be changed out for hooded
down facing fixtures
7. Permanent signage to be installed along HWY 101 frontage (building mounted
and monument signs) within timeframe specified by CUP
DRC will be making a recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding the
appearance and design of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment being requested.

(Conditional Use in CR zone)
Project Proposal
The applicant has submitted a Conditional Use Permit application for vehicle storage for
a U -Haul truck rental business at 8155 EI Camino Real. Vehicle storage is a conditional
use in the Commercial Retail zone, and is subject to the special use standards of
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-14-13
Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC) Section 9-6.140 (Storage yards), as well as
appearance review of the commercial lot.
The applicant is proposing to use the rear parking area behind the existing building at
8155 EI Camino Real (previously The Koffee Klatsch) for the U -Haul storage. The
building in front would be used for the U -Haul rental office, as well as an upholstery
shop. There is a paved area behind the adjacent building (8165 EI Camino Real,
Battery Systems) which is proposed to be used for overflow vehicle storage. The
applicant is not proposing to make any changes to the site. A maximum number of
vehicles to be stored on site has not been identified by the applicant.

Vehicle Storage, Parking and Screening
AMC Section 9-6.140 has specific requirements for fencing of storage yards. The code
requires that the storage area be screened from public view on all sides by a solid
wood, painted metal, or masonry fence, with a minimum height of 6 feet. Fencing must
be maintained in good condition. The AMC requirements for fencing can be modified by
the Planning Commission through the Conditional Use Permit process.
An existing chain link fence with slats is currently located on site surrounding both of the
proposed storage areas. A 20 foot wide gate provides access to the southern lot behind
Battery Systems, and the access to the northern storage lot is open. The existing chain
link fence is not consistent with the Municipal Code requirements for storage yards or
for fencing on commercial lots; however, due to the location at primarily the rear and
sides of the site, Staff recommends that the existing screening fence be permitted to
remain. The broken or damaged vinyl slats should be replaced to clean up the
appearance and provide a more solid screening.
Customer and employee parking is proposed directly behind the building at 8155 EI
Camino Real. A U -Haul truck pick up/drop off area has not been identified by the
applicant, but is recommended by staff in order to limit vehicle conflicts or blocking of
the single lane driveway. The drop off area would also help to limit afterhours drop off
of the U -Haul trucks on City streets. City staff recommends the lot behind 8155 EI
Camino Real be striped to identify customer parking (minimum 4 spaces, including one
accessible parking space) as well as a designated U -Haul drop area. The vehicle
storage area at the rear of the site should be screened with a solid fence with gate in
order to separate the customer areas from the storage area. Staff recommends
signage be installed to clearly identify no parking in access driveway and no parking of
U -Hauls on public streets. Staff also recommends adding condition that no private
storage (RV's, boats, non-operative vehicles) and no for rent storage shall be permitted
on site.
The two storage areas which have been proposed for the site are currently separated
by a solid wood fence in the middle of the lot. The fence prevents access between the
north and the south storage yards, and requires exiting the site onto EI Camino Real to
move vehicles between the lots. Emergency access between the lots is also limited by
the existing fence. City Staff recommends removing a portion of the fence to provide
through access between the main storage area and the overflow in order to provide safe
and orderly development of the site.

Landscape and Appearance Review
Atascadero Municipal Code sections 9-4.125 through 9-4.128 include minimum
landscape standards for commercial lots. The Planning Commission can modify the
landscape requirements of the ordinance if a finding can be made that existing
vegetation, topography or structural arrangement preclude the need for landscaping.
The applicant is not proposing to install any landscape onsite. The DRC should make a
recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding whether or not the following
landscape requirements should be modified or waived.
Commercial landscape requirements:
• Minimum of 10% landscape coverage required for sites in the Commercial zoning
districts
• Minimum 5 foot landscape strip must be provided along side property lines
• Street trees (London Plan Sycamores) to be planted every 30 foot on center
along property frontage
• Landscape to be provided throughout parking areas (minimum 10% of parking
lot) with 6 foot wide landscape planters and shade trees
• Trash enclosure to be screened by landscaping
The only landscape existing on the subject site is a planter with several large palm trees
directly in front of 8155 EI Camino Real (the U -Haul office and upholstery shop). Staff
recommends that this area be cleaned up and new shrubs and ground cover added to
enhance the existing planter and site frontage. While the palm trees are not consistent
with Atascadero's identified street trees, they are already established, provide some
greenery on site, and would be costly to remove. The southern portion of the site, in
front of 8165 EI Camino Real (Battery Systems) where the overflow lot will be located, is
entirely asphalt and does not include any landscape.
General appearance review of the site is also part of the Conditional Use Permit. The
applicant is not proposing to make any changes to the site. The building at 8155 which
will be used for the office has not been painted in some time, and could use some
general maintenance. The rear of the lot directly behind the building also has some
storage and debris building up. DRC may want to recommend Planning Commission
require fapade upgrades, paint, or general clean up as part of the Conditional Use
Permit. The southern portion of the site where Battery Systems and the overflow U -
Haul storage area is proposed are also part of the subject property and may be
considered as part of the appearance review process. Only the gate and access
driveway on this portion of the site will be utilized by the U -Haul business.
A trash enclosure has not been identified on site. Staff recommends that a trash
enclosure be installed at the rear of the site behind the U -Haul office, and it should be
made of solid material such as wood or masonry.
