Page 3
Council Member Scalise explained that it is the Economic Opportunity Commission
(EOC) that has the $500,000 grant for the building of the homeless shelter and that the
EOC, not the County or the cities, control the property in question.
Council Member O'Malley stated he agreed with Mayor Pro Tem Luna and feels that
both the County and City of Paso Robles should carry their share of the ongoing funding
of this project.

not the construction of the shelter itself.

on City revenues. As a general rule, single-family dwellings require

landscaping to minimize the fiscal impacts to the City (Conditions 15,
55, 56).

0016; and,

Planned Development #19 (Zone Change 2003-0056) based on

PUBLIC COMMENT
CC 08/12/03
Page 7
Dennis Moresco, Applicant, explained in detail the neighboring citizens' concerns and
offered to implement solutions to these concerns. He also answered questions of the
Council.
Zonk Thompson asked the Council to consider leaving the option open for the park in
the project to be an active park in the future.
Mike Hedges, formerly vice-president of Atascadero Babe Ruth, stated there are not
enough ballparks for our kids. He asked the Council to consider the park in this project
to be an active park.
Richard Bastain said he would like a solid fence along his property line. He stated he
appreciates Mr. Moresco's suggested solutions. He is not in favor of making the park
an active ballpark.
Lou Cappo stated he supports the previous speakers comments concerning making this
park an active park.
Eric Greening explained that he feels this park should be a public park for all to use and
feels a private park is an injustice to the taxpaying residents in that end of town, which
has always been deficient in parks. Mr. Greening expressed his concern with the
sidewalks along Del Rio Road, which end in both directions in places where pedestrians
and bicyclists may be at risk.
Rod Youngquist, Commissioner for Atascadero Youth Soccer, stated he supports
making the park an active park.
Tara Conrad expressed her concerns with the impacts this project will have on the
neighborhood.
Roger Wolf asked the Council to keep the park in this project as a private park for the
residents that will occupy these new homes.
Cody Thompson told the Council he is concerned with the overall scope of this project.
He feels 70 houses in such a small area will be a huge impact.
Thomas Lewis asked if the park were to be public, where would the parking be located.
Eric Greening asked if a four-way stop could be considered at San Ramon and Del Rio
and whether there could be a hydrologic study on the park and its impact on Graves
Creek before turf were installed and irrigated.
Mayor Clay closed the Public Comment period.
Mayor Clay recessed the hearing at 9:00 p.m.
CC 08/12/03

Mayor Clay called the meeting back to order at 9:10 p.m.
Dennis Moresco, Applicant, addressed the concerns brought up by the public.
MOTION: By Mayor Pro Tem Luna and seconded by Council Member Scalise
that the City accept the 5.5 acres as open space.
Mayor Pro Tem Luna amended his Motion as follows:
MOTION: By Mayor Pro Tem Luna and seconded by Council Member Scalise
to accept the developer's offer and accept this as a passive park
and that in the future if this is to be anything but a passive park, a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (public hearing) including a possible
environmental review would have to take place. The obligation
from the 70 homeowners would be dropped if the park became
active.
City Attorney Roy Hanley explained that the Council could approve the project as
proposed. This would not preclude a Council in the future from addressing the issue
and making a legislative decision to make this an active park based upon someone's
application, the facts presented, and the City's ability to both build and maintain the
park. Mayor Pro Tem Luna withdrew his motion.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Del Knight, Board Member Atascadero Temple Association, asked the Council to return
the Printery building to the Masons.
Robert Huot urged the Council to make sure the Printery is preserved.
CC 08/12/03
Page 11
Eric Greening stated he supports the previous speakers' comments. He expressed his
concern that the public does not know how receiver sites would be chosen given the
City does not have a formal TDC program in place.
Lon Allan, President of Atascadero Historical Society, shared with the Council their
concerns about the future of the Printery building.
Greg Ravat, architect, urged the Council to keep the building and preserve it.
Robert Huot stated that parts of the Printery maintained by Kenyicott Management are
kept in excellent condition. He is concerned that some of Atascadero's history could be
lost as the City grows.
George Becker, Masonic Lodge member, discussed the issues of the building going
back to the Masons to be resold to the developer who will make the building comply
with ADA and seismic standards, versus the City taking on the same responsibility.
Bill Berry, Masonic Lodge member, asked the Council to give the building back to the
Masons.
Thomas Lewis thanked everyone in the public who spoke on this issue. He feels the
building would best be served by remaining a public building, but understands the
financial issues involved.
Mayor Clay closed the Public Comment period.
There was Council discussion of the issue of historic preservation and restoration of the
building.
MOTION: By Council Member Scalise and seconded by Mayor Clay to
prepare and execute the necessary agreements and documents to
return ownership of the Atascadero Masonic Temple/Printery
building to the Atascadero Masonic Temple Association; and
Include an agreement to have the building placed on the National
Registry of Historic Places; and allow temporary use of the George
C. Beatie Skate Park, until such time as the skate park can be
relocated to Traffic Way Park; and, record a deed restriction to
prohibit the demolition of the historic portions of the Printer; and,
form a committee of 2 Council Members to meet with a developer
designated by the Masons to make recommendations back to the
full Council.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Kelly Gearhart, developer, stated his goal is to preserve the building, bringing it back to
its original state as best he can. He further intends to develop it for public use, i.e.
CC 08/12/03
Page 12
meetings, wedding receptions, etc., and to appropriately landscape the approximately
one-acre on which the building sits. He stated that the transfer of development credits
is necessary to assist in funding the preservation effort and he is willing to meet with
anyone the Council designates to accomplish the preservation of the building. Mr.
Gearhart answered questions of Council.
MOTION: By Mayor Pro Tem Luna and seconded by Council Member
O'Malley to go past 11:00 p.m.
Motion passed 4:1 by a voice vote. (Scalise opposed)
Eric Greening commended Mr. Gearhart on his proposed efforts. He also expressed his
concerns with the recommendations of staff. Mr. Greening felt any committee formed to
meet with the developer must include representation from the Historical Society. He
would also like to see means for financing other than transfer of development credits
explored. Additionally, he is concerned with preservation and protection of the site
around the building.
Lon Allan asked for clarification on the staff recommendation and the proposed motion.
Greg Ravat commented on the discrepancy in the deadline dates for retrofitting the
building and stressed the need for a historical survey before any restoration efforts take
place.
Robert Huot agreed with Mr. Greening's suggestion and feels that at least two members
of the Historical Society be added to any committee that is formed.
Thomas Lewis inquired about the amount of land being conveyed back to the Masons
along with the building, and asked that Mr. Gearhart's statement regarding landscaping
this area be formalized into the recommendations.
Del Knight reminded the Council that they had signed an agreement that the building
would be used for youth, people 18 years or younger. He felt if too many restrictions
were placed on this project the developer would back out leaving the City the
responsibility of restoring the building.
Mayor Clay closed the Public Comment period.
City Attorney Roy Hanley explained that the developer would not have any rights from
this evening's meeting regarding transfer of development credits. This would be a
legislative process, potentially involving a General Plan amendment and subsequent
public hearings in order to adopt the process. Regarding the advisory committee and
who would be on it, Mr. Hanley advised that an ad hoc committee of two members of
the City Council would be able to meet with whomever they wanted and this would not
be a Brown Act Committee, however, if anyone is added to the committee who is not a
member of the legislative body, then it is not an ad hoc committee and only publicly
noticed meetings could be held.
