Approved Site Plan: Dove Creek PD -12 Due to the location along Highway 101 and the proximity of the dwelling units next to the freeway, the Dove Creek Master Plan included a Condition of Approval which requires the developer to install a landscape buffer between the project site and Highway 101. 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 CUP 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.

Protect in place, Existing vegetation, Protect In place. ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 4-24-13 2011 DRC Review: On November 10 2011, DRC reviewed a proposal from the developer, Robbins Reed Inc, requesting that condition #31 for Caltrans landscaping be removed. DRC was not in favor of eliminating the landscape completely, but said they would consider reducing the amount of landscape to keep costs down. DRC directed staff and the applicant to obtain the following additional information and bring the proposal back to DRC for additional discussion: 1. Prepare a revised landscape plan which would be less expensive to install and maintain. Include screening in key areas between the residences and the highway, fill in empty areas, and protect/enhance view sheds. Design to be low maintenance, low water use, fast growing and should keep down the weeds. 2. Estimates for installation cost 3. Estimate for cost of annual maintenance. Include cost per unit for ongoing HOA maintenance 4. Permitting process with Cal Trans: what guarantees, permits, fees, do they require from the developer and/or the City? Maintenance bond amount and timeframe? 5. Atascadero monument sign & zoo sign: location and cost of installation? Current Proposal: The applicant has prepared revised plans for the HWY 101 landscape. The proposal includes mostly trees, with a variety of coast live oaks, rosebuds, Monterey cypress, junipers and digger pines. The number and species of shrubs have been greatly reduced, with just few dozen lilacs and toyons instead of the several hundred higher maintenance shrubs previously proposed. City staff is in support of the revised plans and believes the proposed is consistent with the project conditions for HWY 101 landscape buffering. A CUP amendment is not needed in order for DRC to approve the alternative landscape plans. The plans would need to be reviewed by Cal Trans for consistency with their standards prior to issuance of a Cal Trans encroachment permit to complete the installation. In addition to the Cal Trans landscaping, there will be some additional landscape which will be installed on the applicant's property behind the homes per the approved project landscape package (BLD 2006-6029). Highway 101 landscape is a vital part of community appearance, and the Dove Creek frontage acts as a community gateway feature making it a key site for implementing the long term vision along the Highway 101 corridor. As discussed at the previous DRC meeting, it is important for the developer to finish their landscape, as release of the condition would create precedent and ultimately transfer the cost of this landscape on to the City. Cal Trans has recently completed some very nice oak tree restoration ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 4-24-13 plantings along the north bound frontage between the San Diego and Santa Rosa off ramps. With the completion of Dove Creek's landscape buffering, a large portion of Atascadero's HWY 101 frontage will be improved. The City plans to continue these plantings throughout any bare areas of HWY 101 frontages in the future in order to continue enhancing the appearance of the City. The landscape would be installed by the developer (Robbins Reed/Corona Dove Creek LLC.) and the HOA would eventually accepts the landscape for permanent maintenance. Based on estimates provided by the applicant's landscape architect, installation is expected to cost the developer $275,190, and monthly maintenance is expected at $567.92. This would break down to a per unit monthly cost of approximately $2.00 per residential unit, collected through the HOA. City staff expects that this maintenance cost would be in place for the first two years, and would then go down over time as the landscape becomes established. The applicant has not submitted any information regarding the Atascadero monument and zoo sign which was discussed at the last meeting. The signs were part of the original agreement between with the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce and the original project developer. The signs were not included as conditions of approval in the City's resolution for the approved project.
