INITIAL STUDY
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS•
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the
information sources a Lead Agency cites following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately
supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the
one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained
where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose
sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as
well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If
there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is
required.
4) "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures
has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The Lead
Agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than
significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or a negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses
are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist.
6) Lead Agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references information sources for potential
impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document
should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A
source list should be attached. Other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

DISCUSSION: _
1.2. The project site is not located within a scenic vista. The site is within the City's multiple -family residential zoning
district, bounded by Palma and Rosario Avenues, and a mix of single family dwelling and commercial uses towards
the north, south, and west.
1.b.c. The proposed landscape plan and architectural features for the project will produce no negative impact. The
applicant has proposed to remove eight native trees. All tree removals will be mitigated in accordance with the
Atascadero municipal Code and all trees proposed to remain shall be protected using guidelines established in the
Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance and as outlined in section 4 of this document. The proposed project includes the
construction of 7 new single-family homes, 4 of which will occur on slopes of over 20%. All houses along the sloped
portion of Palma shall be constructed in a manner that blends with the hillside and shall implement the below
mitigation measure.
1.d. Project conditions will require any lighting at the site to be designed to eliminate off site glare. The proposed
architectural style, colors, and materials have been selected to be compatible with the surrounding residential
environment.
Mitigation Measure 1.b.1: All houses constructed along the Palma Ave frontage on slopes of 20% or greater shall
incorporate stone veneer into the fagade of the lower garage level and shall be painted darker earth toned colors to
blend with the natural surrounding.
Mitigation Measure 1.d.1: All lighting shall be designed to eliminate any off site glare. All exterior site lights shall
utilize full cut-off, "hooded" lighting fixtures to prevent offsite light spillage and glare. Any luminaire pole height shall
not exceed 14 -feet in height, limit intensity to 2.0 foot candles at ingress /egress, and otherwise 0.6 foot candle
minimum to 1.0 maximum in parking areas. Fixtures shall be shield cut-off type.

DISCUSSION:
6.a. The San Andreas Fault, located approximately 30 miles northeast of the City of Atascadero, dominates both the
structure and seismicity of this region. Other faults reflecting a closer source also have a significant potential to
generate earthquakes and strong ground shaking at the project site. These faults include: (1) the offshore group,
including the Hosgri and Santa Lucia Bank (Purisma and Lompoc) faults; (2) the Los Osos and San Luis Range
faults. In addition, the Rinconada and Oceanic faults may be active or potentially active and pose a significant
potential to generate earthquakes. The proposed buildings will be required to comply with all building standards
related to seismic design.
6.b. Construction activities on the site will be required to comply with sedimentation and erosion control measures
prescribed by the city engineer.
6.c.d. The property contains no unusual geological formations. A soils report shall be submitted prior to building
issuance.
6.e. Project will not require septic.
Mitigation Measure 6.b: The grading permit application plans shall include erosion control measures to prevent soil,
dirt, and debris from entering the storm drain system during and after construction. A separate plan shall be
submitted for this purpose and shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer at the time of Building
Permit application. (See section 8 of the document).
Mitigation Measure 6.c.d: A soils report shall be required to be submitted with a future building permit by the building

9. LAND USE AND PLANNING - Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community? ❑ ❑ ❑
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or ❑ ❑ ® ❑
regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project
(including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan,
local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the
purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or
natural community conservation plan? ❑ ❑ ❑
SOURCES: Land Use Element, Circulation Element; project description; Land Use Element EIR; Project Plans Geo -
West Land Consultants Inc
DISCUSSION:
9.a. The project will not physically divide an established community. An 8 -unit residential development within the
Residential Multi -Family Zoning District is consistent and compatible with the surrounding residential land use
designation. However, there will be a zone change that would establish a planned development overlay on the project
site to allow each unit to be located on a separate lot.
9.b. The General Plan and Zoning Ordinance identifies the project site, along with adjacent properties to the north of
the site, as Residential Multi -family with an allowed density of up to 10 dwelling units per acre. Properties to the
north, west, and east of this site are zoned Residential Multifamily with an allowable density of up to 10 dwelling units
per acre. These adjacent surrounding areas consist of a mix of single family and multi family units. To the south is EI
Camino Real, which is Downtown Commercial. The project sites' proposed single family dwellings are consistent with
the General Plan.
As proposed, the zoning ordinance allows the establishment of a Planned Development Overlay zoning district to
allow for smaller lot sizes in exchange for a benefit derived from the proposed development. The lots proposed range
from 3155 square feet to 22,407 square feet. With consideration to the requirements of a custom Planned
Development Overlay, the project proposes 8 individual homes on the project site, including the existing Colony
Home.
Approval of a Planned Development Zone Change requires a Master Plan of Development, which incorporates site
development standards and appearance review including architecture and landscaping. Per the zoning ordinance,
the Master Plan of Development will be processed as a Conditional Use Permit and as proposed, the project design is
consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, appearance review manual, and General Plan.
9.c. The project is consistent with the open space and conservation policies identified in the General Plan.
10. MINERAL RESOURCES -- Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral
resource that would be of value to the region and the

DISCUSSION:
11a.b.c.d. Construction is expected to involve some heavy machinery and use of
impact tools that make
noise.
Noise levels on the site are thus expected to be raised temporarily. The future residential use is not expected
to
generate unacceptable levels of noise to future adjacent residential uses.
11.e.f. The project is not located within an airport land use plan or private airstrip.
Mitigation Measure 11.d: All construction activities shall comply with the City of Atascadero Noise Ordinance

DISCUSSION:
Development Impact Fees: Development Impact Fees will be required of any new project for which a building permit
is issued. The concept of the impact fee program is to fund and sustain improvements which are needed as a result of
new development as stated in the General Plan and other policy documents within the fee program. Development
Impact Fees fall into the following categories: Drainage Fees (including the Amapoa Tecorida Drainage Area Fee);
Streets, Road, Bridge Fees; Sewer Fees; Public Safety Fees; and Park Fees, Miscellaneous Fees. In addition, school
fees are collected by the Atascadero Unified School District. The amount of impact fees to be paid will be determined
at the time of issuance of building permit.
Fire and Police: Impact fees are charged for new development, to help pay the cost of providing new facilities to
serve the expanding city. The Fire Department of the City of Atascadero has indicated that it will be able to
adequately service the proposed project. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the Fire Department. The
City of Atascadero Police Department has also indicated that the proposed project poses no problems to the police to

Schools: At buildout, the city's population will overburden the existing school system unless additional classroom
space is added. The Atascadero Unified School District charges impact fees to fund additional schools as needed.
State law restricts mitigation of school impacts to the levying of these fees and other measures adopted by the
school district. Provision of adequate facilities for the population is the responsibility of the school district. Fees will be
required through construction permits for the residence.
Parks: New residences will increase demand on parks and recreation facilities. The city's Parks & Recreation
Commission is committed to finding ways to continue to provide parks and other recreational opportunities to city
residents as the city expands, thereby addressing cumulative impacts. No new residences are proposed.
Other public facilities: The construction of the project is not expected to have significant impacts on any other public
facilities.
As the proposed project is a request for a Zone Change to establish a Planned Development Overlay Zone on the
project parcel, the City Council has implemented a cost recovery policy to cover additional costs to the City related to
increases in residential development. All projects requiring City Council approval are conditioned to join the
Community Facilities District established by the City to cover any increases in cost to essential City Services.
14. RECREATION --
a) Would the project increase the use of existing ❑ ❑
neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational
facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the
facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require ❑ ® ❑

DISCUSSION:
Water: The Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC) will provide water. All property within the city limits is
entitled to water from the AMWC. The project is not expected to require significant quantities of water for the
proposed uses.
Water is pumped from two portions of the largest undergroundtasin in the county, the Paso Robles Formation, using
a series of shallow and deep wells. The water company anticipates that it will be able to meet the city's needs through
buildout and beyond:
Water demand at buildout under the LUE is estimated at about 8,500,.�cre-feet per year (AFY). The total available
groundwater supply greatly exceeds demand, according to the findings of the Long -Term Viability of Water study.
However, the water company does not currently have the deep wells needed to tap into the total amount needed at
buildout. The water company is currently developing plans for installing wells where they will be most effective and will
not conflict with water rights of others. According to the Water Company, development of additional wells is expected
to keep pace with construction in the city, so that water supply will not be interrupted.
Sewer Sewer discharge will be handled by a City sewer connection.
Storm Water. On-site storm water drainage has been designed to follow existing drainage pattern.
