Approved December 10,2002
Joan O'Keefe indicated that her statement for Item #2 on the Minutes of November
12, 2002, was incorrect. She had stated that the type of residential development
proposed by Mr. Gearhart did not reflect the kind of residential development unique
to Atascadero, but that she had accepted that where the terrain would allow, it
was important to allow more density.

Clay to approve Item #A-4.

market rate homes available to the citizens of Atascadero from the day he breaks
ground to just prior to completion of the home in question. These homes are to be
owner-occupied. Council Member Clay questioned the 10-year time limit for the
two deed restricted affordable units and asked Council to consider a longer time
limit and possibly reserving these units on a priority basis for members of the
community who work for the City. There was Council discussion regarding these
suggestions.
MOTION: By Council Member Johnson and seconded by Council Member
Clay to adopt on second reading by title only, the draft
Ordinance A for the creation of a new PD-17 overlay district;
