eminent domain.

Planning Commission
City of Atascadero, CA
I wish to have these comments read into the record:
I oppose the proposed development of thirty two (32) units on lot 283,
which consists of one point nine (1.9) acres. This property is surrounded by San Andres
and Navajoa Streets, and Atascadero Avenue.
I am submitting to you a petition of signatures from residents of Atascadero
objecting to this proposed development. Among the objections are public health and
safety issues and changing the general character of our neighborhood.
Si erely,

We the residents listed below would like the following to be taken into account by the
Atascadero City Council.
It is our opinion that what may have started as an update of our General Plan has
turned into a rewrite of our General Plan, which.we are opposed to, for the following
reasons:
1. Public Health and Safety issues are not being taken into account. The
proposed plan will create traffic problems, and stress on our sewer treatment facility
and water supply that the city is not addressing.
2. The land use changes proposed appear to directly undermine the Basic
Communi!y Goals of our General Plan. Some examples of those proposed changes
include but are not limited to: changing Recreation and Suburban Residential Land to
High Density Multi-Family Housing; changing the Multi-Family housing from 10 and
16 Bedrooms per acre to Units per acre, or even 16 and 22 housing units per acre,
and changing the Commercial properties to include High Density Multi-Family
Housing.
4. Changes being proposed appear to provide a financial benefit to only a few
while having an adverse effect on the majority of Atascadero residents.
3. If the city has made an effort to inform us residents of the changes being
proposed we somehow missed it. Better notification of the Public needs to take place.
Residents in and around areas being impacted should have been notified by the city of
the proposals and they have not been,

GENTLEMEN:
I AM VERY DISTURBED BY THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE GENERAL PLAN. OUR CURRENT PLAN
IS
A WELL WRITTEN AND THOUGHT OUT DOCUMENT. IT REPRESENTS THE WISHES OF THE RESIDENT.
WHO CAME
HERE TO ENJOY THE RURAL ATMOSPHERE AND SMALL TOWN CHARACTER.
WHAT IS PROPOSED NOW, SECOND UNITS ON RESIDENTIAL LOTS; SMALLER LOTS, INCREASE OF
RESIDENTIAL
UNITS OVERALL AND A DECREASE IN COMMERCIAL USES SOUNDS LUDICROUS TO ME. IT WILL
OVERWHELM
OUR INTERSTRUCTURE WHILE NOT CONTRIBUTING ONE.IOTA TO"AFFORDABLE"HOUSING.
THE ONLY THING TO BE ADDRESSED SHOULD BE THE RENOVATION OF DOWNTOWN, SOME
"AFFORDABLE"
HOUSING AND PERHAPS AN AREA ACCOMMODATING LIGHT,CLEAN INDUSTRY.
WHAT I SEE IN THE CURRENT PROPOSALS ARE ADDITIONAL ASSAULTS ON OUR ALREADY OVER-
BURDENED
SEWER SYSTEM,STREETS,SCHOOLS,TRAFFIC AND WATER.
PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR CURRENT PROPOSED CHANGES AND LISTEN TO WHAT CITIZENS TOLD '
YOU IN PRIOR
MEETINGS. WE LIKE A CITY WITH LARGE LOTS, RURAL ATMOSPHERE, SMALL SHOPS AND FRIENDLY
PEOPLE.

Dear Members of the City Council;
The latest buzzword of staff and council majority are "Smart Growth"and"infill". The
real test for"Smart Growth" is:does it require new infrastructure, such as new or widened
roads, utility lines, sewer expansion, new water sources, and new fire station? Does it really
provide infill building close to the core of town,reducing transportation and traffic
problems?
The staff claims that building along El Camino and Morro Rd. and putting residential into
commercial areas is smart growth.
How does staff explain the extensive and intensive proposed building of multi family and
single family at the extreme north and south ends of town? How does it explain rental
units in all areas of town,including remote areas in hilly terrain, on narrow, winding roads
and without sewe* This is not"Smart Growth" or"infill". It is "Stupid Growth".
The rewrite proposals flunk the "Smart Growth"test.

Honorable Council members,
City Manager Wade McKinney tells us in the Chamber Newsletter
that staff has been developing a series of alternatives that would be
studied with the General Plan and the Environmental Impact Report.
The Council is now reviewing the work and will decide what will be
reviewed in the General Plan text and the EIR.
All this time, about 2 years, has been spent on one element only --
the Land Use Element which was NOT up for review. This has
produced only a bunch of maps and a list of vague and confusing
policy statements. The public has no input on other elements such
as circulation, open space, safety, noise, fiscal, etc. Now we learn
from McKinney thit staff is doing a Master Sewer Plan and a
community-wide traffic study and a computer model (of what?).
Can you guess why our very own staff is doing these in-house
studies"? Since outside independent consultants will not produce
these reports, as is done in normal cities, we can be sure these in-
house studies will support all the growth McKinney, staff and council
majority are proposing.
A city with little credibility is doing all the background studies which
should be done by impartial, professional and independent
consultants. Since McKinney has hired enough people to do all this
work, we have a right to expect that staff will be reduced by at least
half when these studies are completed.
Please remember, fellow Atascaderans, the real purpose of
producing these reports in-house is to make sure they support all of
the proposed growth.

Mr.Mayor & Councilmembers,
The recommended changes to the General Plan seem to be leaning strongly to
additional residential housing, with no assurance of what percentage of that will
be true "affordable housing", if there is still such a thing nowdays. In light of last
weeks events, any changes that will be an additional financial burden on both the
City Government and the Citizens of this town should be considered long and
hard. We may all find ourselves in a position of needing to tighten up on all spend-
ing, present and future. Now does not seem like a time we should be looking at
changes that will impact all areas of City services and additional taxes for our
residents.
Thank you,

Honorable Mayor and other council members :
After this city incorporated in 1979, the first General Plan, was
openly discussed in 1980. There was a written document available
to residents and council. At intermission time at one hearing
George Highland took his copy with changes made to let my husband
compare it to his copy. There was full and open debate . The 1980
Peoples ' Plan remained intact until 1992.
Former Planning Director Henry Engen said recently, "In a normal
California city a Draft General Plan document would be tentatively
accepted by council and then the Draft would be subject to an EIR. "
That was the procedure used in both 1980 and 1992. Not so with
this Rewrite.
If there is a Draft document for this Rewrite proposal, it is for
council majority eyes only. Oh yes, there have been neighborhood
and council meetings and two surveys all of which have been shams
because the peoples ' priorities have been ignored. All we have seen
is a vague and confusing list of "policies" and a bunch of maps
which prove to be false.
i
Residents have not asked for any of the following:
1 . Massive density increases like the one behind Julie Gorman' s
single family home on San Benito. She will have 66 families on
the lot behind her if this outrageous gift to developers is
passed.. Building high density at the extreme north and south
ends of town, creating transportation and traffic problems, is
dismally poor planning.
2 . Changing commercial and office zoning to residential.
3. All lots in the city chopped down to the smallest lot size in
each nei--hborhood is another gift to developers.
4. Second units for rentals in every single family neighborhood
including outlying areas which according: to the maps are out-
side the study area. The maps lie .
5. Council and staff' s failure to heed the 1992 warning that we
need to seek more water sources for our current buildout figure.
Staff' s theoretical buildout figures for this Re�!rite lie as
do the maps.
6. Changing multifamily to 22 homes per acre .
What residents did ask for:.
1. Fix the roads.
2. Get the Mainstreet Pro-ram going to save our downtown.
3 . Keep the rural atmosphere.
McNeil P. 2
When Mike Arrambide ran for council in 1998, hepromised 2000
new jobs by year 2000. New jobs have gone down? and the only
focus of this Rewrite is residential building. It does not even
try to provide new well-paying jobs . Where will new residents
work to pay for these homes? Freeways_ will be clogged as they
seek out of town jobs.
Also Arrambide said, "It ' s not the General Plan that needs changing.
What needs to change in our community is leadership that allows
lopsided implementation of the Plan." I absolutely agree.
I remind Arrambide that since 1979 every council has been controlled
by the sd-called pro business faction. (Interpreted that means pro
land speculator and developer. ) So if there has been "lopsided
imtolementation of the Plan" , it has come from Arrambide ' s buddies
and now from Mike himself.
What Atascadero really needs is a new council majority without
conflicts of interest which will represent all the people, not
just those who profit by their votes . Next year let ' s elect an
honest-to-goodness peoples ' council .

Atascadero City Council,
My name is James Thomas and I have resided at 10695 Vista Road since 1985.
In general, I would like to express my concern about proposed changes to our
General Plan, which would greatly encourage residential growth, lead to increased
density, and exacerbate problems with roads, traffic, schools, fire and crime pro-
tection, and the availability of water.
Of particular concern to me is learning of the Planning Commission's and City
Staff's plan to eventually allow second rental units in zones other than SFR-Y or even
a continuance of so-called " guest houses" city-wide. I believe this to be extremely
ill-conceived, and that it would open a veritable "Pandora's Box" of problems in my
neighborhood, beginning with increased traffic on our substandard "Colony" roads
and our poorly -maintained city streets, and creating even higher fire and evacuation
risks in an area which already lives with a greater threat.
Further, from the viewpoint of a professional educator, I have seen first-hand
the ramifications of ill-thought-out city growth policies in Paso Robles. Thus, I am
doubly concerned regarding the impact of city-wide rentals on city schools.
In conclusion, I sincerely request that these and any future changes to the
current General Plan be subjected to a general public referendum so that the citizens
of Atascadero, and not vested interests, can choose the future direction of our city.

My name is Eric Peterson and I live at 4500 Del Rio Road.
I find this process of re-writing the General Plan all very confusing and full of conflicting
concepts.
For example, the majority Council insists they are listening to public input. If that is so,
why are many of the items the public has overwhelmingly objected to still included in the
revisions that will be addressed in the General Plan and the EIR. If Council was truly
listening,then why are these items still under consideration?Elimination of these items
would reduce the cost and work of whoever is assigned the preparation of the Plan text
and EIR.
Another example is the idea of preparing the EIR before the final General Plan text is
approved. This implies that Council considers the changes as submitted are a"done deal"
and there would be no revision to the EIR required. If changes are required after public
review of the"draft"text, additional time and expense will be expended for revisions. This
does not seem to me to be a prudent use of City funds.
There has been discussion in these meetings regarding the infrastructure cost of single
family residential construction exceeding the income to the city generated by these units.
This means that nearly every single family residence constructed will increase the tax
liability of Atascadero residents. I am told the exception being houses costing somewhere
in the million dollar range which are not common. Yet, many of the General Plan changes
proposed to date increase single family residences. Where will the money come from to
support these additional residences without raising taxes or reducing services in other
areas?
There has been much discussion regarding"affordable housing." It appears the
assumption has been made that reducing lot size will automatically generate affordable
housing. Taking any large lot, splitting it and building houses on it may produce housing
for people who can afford large down payments but it will not help our local labor force.
It will take dedication and additional mechanisms to provide truly affordable housing for
Atascadero residents. These mechanisms are not present in the current General Plan
rewrite. When does Council intend to generate a realistic approach to the concept of truly
affordable housing?
There are portions of the policy changes presented that I would support,however, it
seems to me the entire package is being crammed down my throat in an"all or nothing"
package. This is Council's package and I have seen no indication that there is any
intention of vetoing any portion of the presented policy changes, even though the public
does not want them.
(page 1 of 2)
These items just show the tip of the iceberg in my mind. I hope Council will answer my
questions.
In closing, I would like to remind Mr.Nimmo that"this great country is what it is because
dedicated people stood up time and again to fight for what they believed in. I don't
believe we are any different.
Please enter my comments into the public record.
Thank you f r yo time.

City Council Members:
I have been listening very carefully for the last several months to the ongoing debate concerning the General
Plan update. The over whelming majority of citizens' input has been to keep the General Plan with a rural
feeling for our city.
The City Council majority and the city staff have not listened. The current City Council majority and city
staff are trying to sell us a concept which everybody wants,affordable housing as an excuse to wreck our
town. Some well-intended citizens have bought their pitch. The way to hell is paved with good intentions.
If you really think about it,houses sell for whatever the market will bear. Put more kindly,why shouldn't
someone sell their home(which they may have lived in for ten years)for as much as they can get? After all
in most cases it is their major financial asset.
The only way houses will not sell at the maximum price is through some type of governmental intervention,
more governmental programs. Rental property follows the same basic approach;prices are set by whatever
the market will bare. Government programs such as Section 8 are an attempt to assist with affordable rental
housing. Most of us are skeptical about government programs interfering with near sacred free market
approaches.
The present City Council majority's answer to the affordable housing is to increase density. By cutting
down on Atascadero's lot sizes and thereby increasing the supply of houses,prices will somehow become
affordable. New York's Manhattan Island has one of the highest housing densities on earth,it is not cheap.
Our sister city to the south, Shell Beach,has microscopic lots,selling well above Atascadero's prices. It is
not cheap. In Silicon Valley one bedroom homes were selling for$600,000 plus. Small size and high
density does not ensure affordability,it is a myth.
How can you argue with someone who is right for the wrong reasons? The present City Council and staff
will indeed create affordable housing by increasing density along the lines they propose,they will sacrifice
Atascadero's major virtue our rural character,thereby,making us undesirable and therefore cheap.
I'm not buying it!

I remember the drought years. Where will all the water come from for the increased
population?
What does affordable housing mean? Who will build it? Why will they build such
units if they can build units which will give them more of a return on their
investment?
Why is staff allowing guest houses to be used as rental units when the ordinance
prohibits it?
I do not want the General Plan rewritten.

To: Atascadero City Council
From: Geraldine Brasher
Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, I will be very brief, but it is my
belief that you would make a serious mistake if you elect to increase the
population density as proposed in the Land Use Element rewrite of the
General Plan without first dealing with the problems inherent with a
population density increase.
These problems include increasing demands upon our water supply and
system of delivery, increasing demands upon our sewer system, increasing
demands upon our streets' carrying capacity, and increasing vehicular travel
that will cause more Tapid deterioration of existing streets.
Since increased residential building does not result in a compensatory
increase in our tax base, we will fall even further behind in providing
adequate services to the citizens of our city.
Therefore, I urge you to continue working with and under the existing
General Plan.

Dear Atascadero Mayor and Council Members,
In my view I believe the General Plan rewrite is an important undertaking for the City. It
is time and money well spent to plan for the future of Atascadero. I agree with the
recommendations that have been put forward by the Planning Commission for adoption
with a few additional comments.
Affordable housing is an;important component and a second unit trial area is a positive
move to that end. I feel a 1-acre parcel that can provide septic service that is in
compliance with the building code standards is the way to proceed, not sewer only. Also,
implementing a plan to bring existing granny units in the pilot area into the second unit
program so they may be counted towards meeting the State standards for affordable
housing.
Multi-family residential in retail districts is also a positive as well as calculating units
rather than bedrooms for densities. This will provide more housing for families which are
so lacking in our community.
Consolidating Land use designations is a positive way to attract and keep a healthy
business community.
Providing a safe plan for our future is an important task for you to accomplish, and one I
fully support.

Dear Atascadero Mayor and Council Members,
In my view I believe the General Plan rewrite is an important undertaking for the City. It
is time and money well spent to plan for the future of Atascadero. I agree with the
recommendations that have been put forward by the Planning Commission for adoption
with a few additional comments.
Affordable housing is an,important component and a second unit trial area is a positive
move to that end. I feel a 1-acre parcel that can provide septic service that is in
compliance with the building code standards is the way to proceed, not sewer only. Also,
implementing a plan to bring existing granny units in the pilot area into the second unit
program so they may be counted towards meeting the State standards for affordable
housing.
Multi-family residential in retail districts is also a positive as well as calculating units
rather than bedrooms for densities. This will provide more housing for families which are
so lacking in our community.
Consolidating Land use designations is a positive way to attract and keep a healthy
business community.
Providing a safe plan for our future is an important task for you to accomplish,and one I
fully support.
Sincerely,

Dear Atascadero Mayor and Council Members,
In my view I believe the General Plan rewrite is an important undertaking for the City. It
is time and money well spent to plan for the future of Atascadero. I agree with the
recommendations that have been put forward by the Planning Commission for adoption
with a few additional comments.
Affordable housing is an important component and a second unit trial area is a positive
move to that end. I feel a 1-acre parcel that can provide septic service that is in
compliance with the building code standards is the way to proceed, not sewer only. Also,
implementing a plan to bring existing granny units in the pilot area into the second unit
program so they may be counted towards meeting the State standards for affordable
housing.
Multi-family residential in retail districts is also a positive as well as calculating units
rather than bedrooms for densities. This will provide more housing for families which are
so lacking in our community.

Dear Mr.Mayor and Honorable Couucilmembers:
I am writing this letter to express my support of the General Plan Rewrite which has talon so much effort
to produce. It is unfortunate that more of us in the business community cannot or do not attend public
meeting to express our views. Please do not listen to the vocal opponents of positive change,they do not
represent a balanced community.
The city staff should be commended for a job well done. Thank you for serving our community.

Mr. Mayor and other Councilmembers,
Staff and the council majority-Arrambide, Clay, Johnson and Scalise-have proposed"tiered
creek setbacks". If ever,there was a weasel word, "tiered" is it. Either we get a creek setback
that provides the same setback for all, or we know the council will weasel its way out if a
favored builder or developer comes along. Then we will hear the same old song: "no problems
with this proposal."
Atascadero once had a 50 foot creek setback in the General Plan which applied to all It should
never have been thrown out. If we had kept it,the Bowling Alley would not be hanging over the
creek bed. It was allowed only a 5 foot setback. Now the owners want to build a horrendous
retaining wall to save the building.
Tiered creek setbacks will not set a standard. The people of Atascadero treasure their creeks in
their natural state with the plants, fish and other wildlife. We don't want our creeks to look like
the Los Angeles River: all cement and a trickle of water running along the bottom.
I
Please restore the genuine creek setback we were once wise enough to enact.
