1. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE WORKSHOP
The Draft EIR and Draft General Plan were released for public comment on
February 27, 2002. Release of the Draft EIR started a mandatory 45-day
public review period as required by the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The public review period for commenting on the Draft EIR ends on
Friday April 12th at 5:00 p.m. Although no public meetings are required
during the 45-day public review period (Section 15087(1)), it is considered a
good practice to hold meetings for the public to provide testimony on the
Draft EIR. The City will be holding two public meetings during the review
period, one was held for the Planning Commission on March 21 , 2002 and
one for the City Council on April 8, 2002.
The overall purpose of the workshop is to gather public testimony on the
Draft EIR and Draft General Plan and to provide recommendations to the City
on any issues that need to be addressed in the Draft documents. The Draft
EIR and Draft General Plan have already been distributed to the City Council
and are attached by reference only to this staff report. Members of the
public may obtain printed copies or CD-ROM's of the Draft documents by
purchase at City Hall or view them for free at the Atascadero Library or City
website at www.atascadero.org.
Staff Recommendations:
1 . The City Council take public testimony on the Draft EIR and Draft
General Plan, reminding the public that only written comments will be
formally responded to in the Final EIR.
2. The City Council review recommendations from the Planning
Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission and direct staff on
any issues or changes that should be addressed in either the Draft EIR
or Draft General Plan.
3. The City Council provide staff with direction regarding the inclusion of
additional Open Space areas on the Land Use Diagram.
4. The City Council provide staff with direction regarding the 28-acre
Verheyen parcel located on Del Rio Road.
No formal action will be taken on either the EIR or the General Plan at this
workshop.

that person may be limited to raising those issues addressed at the public hearing described in this notice, or in
