WHEREAS, the Atascadero City Council conducted a public hearing on the subject matter; and, WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65323 provides that a general plan be amended by the adoption of a resolution; and, WHEREAS, approval of this amendment will not result in any signi- ficant adverse environmental impact as long as appropriate mitigation measures are introduced; and, WHEREAS, the land use designations of Special Commercial and Pro- fessional Office as currently presented in the General Plan create ' certain difficulties in implementing the plan due to their overlapping and inconsistent nature; and, WHEREAS, the proposed land use changes provide a clearer basis for implementation and encourage a sound, long range guide for land dev- elopment; and, ' WHEREAS, development opportunities are not significantly altered and economic potential is relatively unchanged. ' NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Atascadero City Council does hereby approve General Plan Amendment GP 811019: 2 amending the text of the Land Use Element and the Land Use Map within the Morro Road Study Area as follows: 1. Delete from page 71 of the 1980 Atascadero General Plan text the section entitled "Special Commercial. " 2. Delete from pages 71 and 72 of the 1980 Atascadero General Plan text the section entitled "Professional Office. " 3. Add as an insert to page 71 the section entitled "Commer- cial-Professional as follows: ' "This land use designation provides for the following general categories of uses: a. Offices; professional, business, medical, financial and utility b. Cultural or fine arts institutions RESOLUTION NO. C. Personal services (not supported by retail sales of goods) ' d. Light retail commercial uses. These categories of uses should be encouraged along arterials or major collectors where high traffic volumes can be accom- modated and in areas where a compatible transition is desired adjacent to single family areas. Access through residential areas shall be discouraged. " 4. Add as an insert to page 58 under the heading entitled "Land Use Policy Proposals" as follows: 119 . The Land Use Map of the General Plan is not a specific diagram, especially in areas where there is a transition ' between different types of land uses, such as residential adjacent to commercial. Since the transition will occur over a period of time and since it is desirable to pro- tect existing, generally less intensive uses while en- couraging newer , generally more intensive uses, the use of a concept known as the "wavy line" concept may be ap- propriate. This concept will encourage retention of the ' zoning for the less intensive use until demand dictates a change of zoning for the more intensive use while clearly supporting that future change when the time is appropri- ate. Factors to consider in the timing of these changes will include existing development, property ownership, development potential, access and related physical fea- tures, and compliance with zoning and General Plan stand- ards and policies.' (As an example, an area designated by the General Plan for commercial use should be granted consistent zoning when contiguous property in the transi- tion area is under the same ownership and can be devel- oped in a compatible manner; but, when such property, although contiguous, is in another ownership and is developed with a less intensive use, such as a residence, or is vacant, zoning may be withheld until the time is right for the more intensive commercial use. ) " 5. Make changes to the 1980 Atascadero General Plan Map as shown on the attached exhibit, which is made a part hereof by reference, entitled "Recommended Land Use Changes to the Morro Road Study Area.
