CITY OF ATASCADERO 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.

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.

SOURCES: Project description, Noise Element, Noise Ordinance, Acoustical Design Manual. 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 for hours of operation. 12. POPULATION AND HOUSING -- Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either ❑ ❑ ® El (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, 03/02/07 Page 36 PLN 2006-1117 ISMND CITY OF ATASCADERO INITIAL STUDY Initial Study 2007-0003 Potentially Significant Less Than Significant with Less Than Significant No Impact Planning Application 2006-1117: CUP 2006-0184, Impact Mitigation Impact D TTM 2006-0089, ZCH 2006-0121 Incorporation ❑ Palma Avenue, Rosario Avenue, & Ridgeway Court Other public facilities? ❑ 0 ® ❑ necessitating the construction of replacement housing 1:1 El elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?

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 03/02107 Page 37 PLN 2006-1117 ISMND Initial Study 2007-0003 Planning Application 2006-1117: CUP 2006-0184, TTM 2006-0089, ZCH 2006-0121 Palma Avenue, Rosario Avenue, & Ridgeway Court adequately service it. CITY OFATASCADERO MTIAL STUDY Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant with Significant Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporation 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 ❑ ® ❑ the construction or expansion of recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? SOURCES: Project description Geo -West Land Consultants Inc.; Parks and Recreation Element DISCUSSION: 14.a. Residents are expected to use existing parks and recreational facilities, but the numbers are not expected to result in substantial physical deterioration of any facilities. 14.b.

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. 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE -- a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality the F1❑ ❑ of environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but ❑ ❑ ❑ cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects that will F-1 El Elcause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? DISCUSSION: The proposed project includes 7 new units consistent with the requirements for the establishment of a custom Planned Development Overlay. The existing Colony Home is proposed to remain and a Historic Site overlay zone shall be placed over Lot 1. The project is consistent with the City's General land use and housing element policies related to housing and infill development.
