ANNEXATION
The proposed project consists of the reorganization (annexation) of 884± acres of
unincorporated territory lying within the general boundaries south of Palomar Avenue,
east of El Camino Real, north of Halcon Road and west of the Salinas River. The
territory is contained within the City's 1984 Sphere of Influence boundary and represents
an unincorporated island that is bound by the City Limits on the south, north and west.
The subject territory consists of the Atascadero State Hospital Facility including Paloma
Creek Park (City) and San Luis Obispo County parkland containing the Chalk Mountain
Golf Course and Heilmann Park, and a segment of the Union Pacific Railway (formerly
S.P.R.R.). No privately owned land is included in the territory. The project includes the
pre -zoning of approximately 2/3 of the area to the P District (Public) and the remaining
1/3 of the area to the L District (Recreation) on the City Zoning Map.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: PROPOSED CLASS 19 CATEGORICAL
EXEMPTION: Based on section 15319 of the California Environmental Quality Act the
project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt from the CEQA Review process
and that no additional environmental review is required. The Class 19 Exemption
pertains to the annexation of existing public facilities where there is no potential for
future development and adequate facilities exist to provided services. The Class 19
Exemption is consistent with the project description.
Staff Recommends approval of the project.
6. GENERAL PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT 99009 (1999 CYCLE 3)
The proposed project consists of a staff initiated amendment to the text of the General
Plan Land Use Element Section H.C.5.b. The proposed Text Amendment would add a
new provision for the City to provide sewer service outside of the Urban Services Line
(USL). The proposed amendment would apply to areas beyond the USL that meet the
following three criteria: (1) where soils have inadequate septic system suitability, and (2)
where there is no practical way of repairing existing failing septic systems, and (3) where
the provision of sewer service would not be growth inducing. The purpose of the
amendment is to allow the City to provide sewer service within the Suburban Single
Family Land Use Area where there is a history of septic system failures and the potential
for water pollution and a threat to public health.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: PROPOSED SECTION 15061.b.3. STATUTORY
EXEMPTION: Based on Section 15061.b.3. of the California Environmental Quality Act
the project has been determined to be Statutorily Exempt from the CEQA Review process
and that no additional environmental review is required. The Section 15061.b.3.
Statutory Exemption pertains to project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility for a significant environmental impact resulting. The project description limits
the provision of sewer service only to areas with failed septic systems and where
additional growth would not result.
Staff Recommends approval of the project.
