[Community Services] Community Services Director Brady Cherry gave the staff report and answered questions of the Commission. Commissioner Mathews expressed concern that this area was originally designated as a ball field in the Master Plan. If the City strays from the original Plan created by many stakeholders in the community, many intended uses will be lost. He suggested that the Master Plan be revised prior to proceeding with any change of use. Commissioner Istenes spoke in favor of this use as it would create fewer environmental impacts to the riparian area than a baseball field would. Chairperson Sechrist commented that if, at the three year point, the City proceeds with the swimming pool, much of the parking will be lost making this use less feasible.

REPORT -IN -BRIEF: The proposed project consists of the following components: 1.) A City initiated General Plan Text Amendment, Land Use Diagram Amendment, and Zoning Map Amendment. The project site is approximately 2.24 acres and consists of three parcels. The General Plan Land Use designation on Lot 1 is proposed to be changed from Recreation to High Density Residential. Currently, the General Plan requires that the project site be developed with a Master Plan of Development, including a minimum 1/2 acre pocket park. The City initiated applications propose to amend the General Plan's Master Plan of Development Overlay #12 to remove the requirement for a '/2 acre park on the Atascadero Avenue Triangle site, and to allow two residential units on Lot 1, as directed by the City Council. 2.) Lots 2 & 3 (MLW Holdings, LLC): The project proposes a PD -7 Overlay with nine single-family units. The project includes a tree removal application for eight Black Walnuts, totaling 310 inches DBH. ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 3.) Lot 1 (Atascadero Homeowners, LLCM A PD -7 Overlay is proposed on Lot 1. A Tentative Parcel Map is included which proposes to create three parcels, two of which are proposed to be developed with single-family residences, and the third is proposed as a private landscape feature. Due the General Plan's Master Plan of Development requirement on the subject site, and fact that the PD -7 does not allow for a 2 -unit Planned Development, the application is being processed in conjunction with the application above.

The project site is bordered by Navajoa Avenue, Atascadero Avenue, and San Andres Avenue. The site consists of three underlying Colony lots, totaling approximately 2.24 acres. Following the 1992 General Plan Update, the entire site (all three parcels) had a General Plan Designation of Recreation (REC) and a conflicting Zoning Map Designation of Residential Multi -Family (RMF -16). The original owner, Wes O'Reily applied for a multi -family building permit in 2000. Staff determined that the permit could not be processed because of the General Plan inconsistency and recommended the owner request to have the property's land use redesignated in the General Plan Update that was in process at the time. The owner resubmitted the request which was considered during the General Plan Update. During the General Plan Update hearings, there was considerable public comment and Council discussion about the need for a park next to the library. Many members of the public requested that the City retain the park designation for the entire site and the City build a park. The Council decided to designate the corner near Morro Road for a'/2 -acre park and designate the remainder of ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 the site for 10 residential units. The General Plan created a Master Plan of Development Overlay (MPD Overlay #12) requirement for the site (refer to following maps.) The MPD Overlay currently allows for 10 residential units and a '/2 -acre park that is required to be developed concurrently with the housing project. At the time of the General Plan Update, it was not known that the site had three underlying lots of record. Sometime in the last several years, Kelly Gearhart purchased the site and proposed a Planned Development consistent with the General Plan. In May of 2006, the project proposed by Kelly Gearhart was reviewed by the Council with regards to the issue of park improvements and maintenance. At that meeting, the Council decided to defer the improvement and acquisition of the park and require the developer to provide a passive landscaped open space area in the location of the park. The project was eventually withdrawn and MLW Holdings, LLC purchased two of the parcels. Currently, the two MLW Holdings parcels (Lots 2 and 3) are designated for residential multi -family units, and the third parcel (Lot 1) is owned by Atascadero Homeowners, LLC and designated as Recreation. In early 2007, legal issues were raised by the property owners regarding the park requirement for this project. In September of 2007, the City Council discussed the issues and options surrounding the General Plan's '/2 acre park requirements. Atascadero Homeowners, LLC requested that the City amend the General Plan to eliminate all requirements for a public park on the site. As an alternative, the owner of the park parcel made an initial offer to sell the property to the City for $300,000, should the City choose to purchase and develop the site. There are three legal issues which were raised by the applicant's attorney surrounding the park requirement for this project. The Council considered these issues at the September 2007 meeting. 1.) Is the General Plan requirement for the dedication and improvement of a half -acre park, as a condition to developing a 10 -unit residential subdivision, constitutional? City Attorney's Opinion: Federal and State constitutional law restrict the City's ability to compel the dedication of land as a condition of granting discretionary approvals. The well known Nollan-Dolan line of Supreme Court cases provides that any requirement that a property owner dedicate property must be related to the impacts of the proposed development and that the amount or value of the property to be dedicated must be roughly proportional to those impacts. In other words, there must be a "nexus" between the compelled dedication and the impacts, and the amount of land dedication sought must be "roughly proportional" to the impact of the project. To compel the dedication of some or the entire 0.47 acre site for a pocket park, the City must be able to show that the dedication will mitigate the impacts of the residential development and that the amount of land that must be dedicated is not disproportional to those impacts. ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 2.) Is there a nexus between the development of the 10 residential units and the need for a park? City Attorney's Opinion: There is certainly a nexus between the housing project and the need for additional park area, including the improvements. The more difficult question is whether the requirement for a half -acre parcel is roughly proportional to the impacts on the City's parks and recreation and the need for the improvements. Based on the analysis done under the Quimby Act, the City would be imposing a dedication in excess of the normal exaction for parks. The City Parkland Dedication requirement is five (5) acres of property for each 1,000 person residing in the city to be devoted to public parks, public recreational trails and/or public recreation facilities. The requirements in this case, assuming 10 units, with an average of three (3) persons per unit would require a dedication of 0.15 acre of parkland. The half acre requirement is over three times the parkland dedication requirement, and does not factor in the requirement to install the improvements While the General Plan is the constitution for development throughout the City, and is the vehicle through which competing interests and the needs of the citizenry are balanced and meshed, it must be consistent with the general laws of the State of California, and the Federal and State Constitutions. In this case, the applicant argues that the General Plan requirement for the park dedication is unconstitutional in that it violates the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. 3.) Is the exaction roughly proportional between the impacts of the project on park and recreational facilities? City Attorney's Opinion: To demonstrate rough proportionality, the City must document the connection between the exaction and the projected impact of the proposed development. Findings must establish the required reasonable relationship between the required exaction and the impact. This requires an assessment of whether this condition is in reasonable proportion to the burden created by the new development. This may be possible, but the courts will give the findings a heightened level scrutiny since the exactions are imposed on a few parcels and not on a broad class of property owners. At the September 2007 discussion, the City Council agreed that the City does not have the funds to purchase or maintain a public park, and the Council directed staff to work on a General Plan Amendment to eliminate the requirement for the '/2 acre park on Lot 1. At the Council's direction, Lot 1 would be rezoned from Recreation to High Density Residential. The Council discussed the option for the owner to develop Lot 1 with two residences, recommending that the site include additional landscape buffer or affordable housing. ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 ANALYSIS: Part 1: City Initiated General Plan Amendment and Zone Map Change: Based on City Council's direction at the September 2007 meeting, staff has prepared a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change consisting of the following items: 1. Amendment proposed to change the General Plan Land Use Designation on Lot 1 of APN 030-283-005 from Recreation (REC) to High Density Residential (HDR). 2. Amendment proposed to change the Atascadero Municipal Code Zoning Designation on Lot 1 of APN 030-283-005 from Recreation (L) to Residential Multi -family, with 16 units per acre (RMF -16). 3. Amend the Master Plan of Development requirements identified in the General Plan Land Use, Open Space, and Conservation Element Table II -5, Master Plan of Development Overlay #12: "Atascadero Avenue Triangle." The proposed amendment would keep the master plan requirement on the site so that all three parcels would be planned and developed together. However, the requirement for the '/z acre pocket park is proposed to be removed, and Lot 1 would be allowed to be developed with up to two residences. Atascadero =' Avenue "Lot 3 *, �.

The first application proposes a Planned Development 7 on Lots 2 and 3, consisting of nine single-family units, each on individual lots. A second application has been submitted for Lot 1, also for a Planned Development 7. The second application consists of two single-family units on individual lots, and a third lot which would be developed with a private, fenced landscape area to be owned and maintained by the current owner, Atascadero Homeowners Association. The applications must be processed together for two reasons: 1.) General Plan Master Plan of Development Overlay #12: The General Plan requirements have been proposed to be amended by the City initiated General Plan Amendment, however, the site is still required to provide a Master Plan of Development per the General Plan Overlay #12 shown in Table II -5. A Master Plan of Development will ensure consistent development throughout this highly visible site. 2.) Proposed 2 -unit PD -7: One of the requirements of the Planned Development 7 Overlay states that, "A proposed planned development project shall consist of no fewer than four (4) residential units". The application on Lot 1 includes only two residential units. A special finding must be made to approve this separate application. It is staff's opinion that a 2 -unit PD -7 would be acceptable in this circumstance based on the two applications with a total of 11 units. The resolutions have been conditioned that the projects be developed together, and that one joint homeowners association be provided for all 11 units to create consistency throughout the project (Conditions 10 and 11.) Both site plans have been designed to meet the requirements of the Atascadero Municipal Code and the appearance review requirements of the General Plan. Lot sizes in both projects range from 5700 to 8700 sq. ft. in size. The residences are proposed at approximately 1567 sq. ft. with two -car garages. A total of 4,040 cu. yards of fill would be required to develop the 11 units on all three lots. As a Planned Development, the City Council must find that each project provides high quality architectural, landscape, and site design to warrant the granting of special development standards for a Planned Development project. The following sections provide an analysis of these requirements. Site Plan and Circulation Both site plans have been designed to take access off the public street frontages. The 11 single family units each have private driveways that meet the guest parking requirement of the PD -7. The units each face the street adjacent to the property, consistent with The site plan Development 7. ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 the surrounding single family residences on the adjacent properties. s designed to meet all of the setback requirements of a Planned Frontage improvements are proposed along all street frontages, including Atascadero Avenue, Navajoa Avenue, and San Andres Avenue. The streets would be widened as to City requirements, and sidewalks are included along all frontages. Driveways and frontage improvements have been designed to retain the existing native trees where possible. ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 Landscape Design and Private Landscape Feature The Preliminary Landscape Plan has been designed to retain existing mature native trees where feasible. Proposed landscaping includes drought tolerant shrubs and accent plants. In staff's opinion, the proposed Landscape Plan and palette, as conditioned, meets the Planned Development appearance review requirements. A third parcel for landscape is proposed at the corner of Atascadero Avenue and San Andres is designed to act as a buffer between the residences and Morro Road. The landscape area would be fenced and gated for private use by the current owner, Atascadero Homeowners Association. The lot is not proposed for use by the adjacent planned development and will not be maintained by a homeowners association. A condition has been included in the resolution to ensure maintenance of the park by the private property owner: "The private open space feature at the corner of Atascadero Avenue and San Andres shall be maintained by the property owner. All landscape shall be maintained in good condition and the site shall be kept free of litter and graffiti" (Condition #10.) Pathways with decorative pavement are included through the private landscape feature. A dry pond made of cobble rocks is located at the front of the area. A dry creek meanders through the area and combines with the landscape on the residential lot next door. Ground cover is made up of low shrubs and perennials. Larger trees line the back of the area to provide privacy for the adjacent residential properties. A statue is proposed at the center of the private landscape feature. The proposed private landscape feature includes a decorative wall and fence along the property line at the corner facing Morro Road. Access gates would be located on each street frontage, and would allow the area to be locked for security purposes. The wall is proposed at 2'-8' in height with a wrought iron fence on top. The fence/wall combination has been proposed by the applicant at six feet in height. The Atascadero Municipal Code limits fences within the front setback to a three foot maximum height in order to provide adequate visibility and an open, neighborhood feeling along street frontages. The Planning Commission discussed this issue and recommended a condition be added to limit the fence height to five feet (Condition 25.) A five foot fence still exceeds the Municipal Code height limit and requires an exception to be approved by City Council with the approval of the proposed planned development.

B-2 02/21/08 RAdClT PINiSN NNlYORATM XK WALL ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 Conclusion With the approval of the City -initiated General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment, the proposed development projects, as conditioned, would be consistent with the requirements of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed GPA would amend the Master Plan of Development requirement of the Atascadero Avenue Triangle to no longer require a '/2 acre park on the subject site. A Master Plan of Development would still be required for the three sites to ensure that cohesive development occurs on the parcels. The General Plan and Zoning Designation would be amended, and Lot 1 would be allowed to be developed with up to two residences. It is staff's opinion that the proposed development projects, as conditioned, meet the minimum requirements of the General Plan and all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The projects incorporate appearance review of architectural design, materials, and landscaping, and incorporate architectural themes into the site and building designs, as conditioned. Native trees have been preserved where feasible and required conditions and mitigation measures have been appropriately incorporated into the project. As analyzed within the project Initial Study and Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed Master Plan of Development would have no significant environmental impacts and will not be detrimental to the general public or working persons health, safety, or welfare. Based on the analysis in the preceding sections, it appears that all of the required findings for project approval can be made. ALTERNATIVES 1. The Parks and Recreation Commission may make recommendations about the General Plan and Zoning Amendments and/or project design. 2. The Parks and Recreation Commission may recommend that the City Council deny the requested project. The Commission should state why they feel the project should be denied. If the Commission denies the City initiated General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, the two development applications can not be approved.

My concerns about the Navajoa Avenue Development are the following. My first concern is about changing the General Plan for Lot 1 from Recreation to High Density Residential. Why? Our sweet small town is being eaten up with concrete and needs dirt and trees in order to breathe. I hope that the roads will be the first on the Developers' list and that the Developer will pay for the so-called improvement. Lots 2 & 3 will have nine 2 - car garages, 18 new cars. Lot 1 will have at least four new cars. Atascadero AV and San Andres AV are heavy with High School traffic now, and of course the school will only grow. And there are two other developments in the immediate vicinity: across Navajoa and 1/2 block down Atascadero AV. It's amazing to me the number of new cars the City Council thinks we can tolerate.

The project site is approximately 1.9 acres and consists of three parcels. The General Plan Land Use designation on Lot 1 would be changed from Recreation to High Density Residential. Currently. the General Plan requires that the project site be developed with a Master Plan of Development, including a minimum'/: acre park on Lot 1. This application proposes to amend the Master Plan of Development to remove the requirement for a % acre park, and allow two residential units on Lot 1. Two separate applications have been submitted for the development of the parcels. 1.) Lot 1: A PD -7 Overlay is proposed on Lot 1. A Parcel Map is included which proposes to create three parcels, two of which will be developed with single-family residences, and the third is proposed as a private park. 2.) Lots 2 & 3: The project proposes a PD -7 Overlay with nine single-family units. The project includes a tree removal application for 8 Black Walnuts, totaling 310 inches DBH. Lot sizes in both projects range from 5700-8700 sq. ft. The residences are proposed at approximately 1567 sq. ft. with two -car garages. A total of 4,040 cu. yards of fill will be required to develop the 11 units. Drainage basins are incorporated into the site plan and the residences would connect to City sewer. General Plan Designation: High Density Residential (HDR) & Recreation (REC) Zoning District: Residential Multi -Family -16 (RMF -16) & Recreation (L) Proposed Based on the Initial Study prepared for the project, a Negative Declaration is Environmental proposed. The proposed Negative Declaration is available for public review from Determination: December 27, 2007 through January 15, 2008 at 6907 EI Camino Real.

PC Draft Minutes 01/15/08 Page 5 of 8 ITEM NUMBER: B - 2 DATE: 02/21/08 Sharon Turner stated her support for the development of this site and asked several questions regarding traffic safety, the need for stop signs to slow traffic, noise buffers and the fence proposed for the site. Brian Newsome expressed concern regarding the corner of the landscape buffer and the drainage at that site. Mr. Newsome asked for a condition that the drainage in the area be looked at seriously. Kelly Gearhart addressed traffic and drainage issues raised by the previous speakers. Sharon Turner asked about a homeowners association for the project and if the road could be paved on all three sides. Chairperson O'Keefe closed the Public Comment period. City Engineer Steve Kahn addressed issues raised during the Public Comment period. Commissioner Heatherington stated she had a hard time getting past 1/10 of an acre not being for the public, and questioned if it would be a gift of public funds. Community Development Director Frace stated this was not a gift of public funds and explained the requirement under the city's ordinances and sub division map act. Commissioner O'Grady spoke of the vision of the General Plan and stated the elimination of the public park at this location is a cut to that plan. He commented that the benefits of this project were dubious and was concerned with the slow housing market at this time and its affect on this project. In addition he stated that given the amount of money the Council has been authorizing for consultants, the maintenance costs for this park was not a burden; rather it was a question of priorities.

DISCUSSION: Background: Paloma Creek Park is a public park on the south end of Atascadero. The park has soccer fields, a little league field, two lighted softball fields and a group picnic area. Paloma Creek Park's playground was highly used by many of the different user groups at the park, but it was completely removed over a year ago due to outdated equipment and safety issues. With no playground, the park offers no other structured play for children while at the park. In this fiscal year there was funding provided to replace the playground area at Paloma Creek Park. Analysis: The Commission previously approved the Site Design for a new playground area as well as other park amenities (11-15-07). Staff sent out a Request for Proposal to over ten playground companies asking them to submit a proposal for the specified playground area at Paloma Creek Park (Attachment A). There were six proposals submitted by the January 25, 2008 deadline.
