PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP
1. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE WORKSHOP
The Draft EIR and Draft General Plan were released for public comment on February 27,
2002. Release of the Draft EIR started a mandatory 45 -day public review period as
required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The public review period
for commenting on the Draft EIR ends on Friday April 12th at 5:00 p.m. Although no
public meetings are required during the 45 -day public review period (Section 15087(1)),
it is considered a good practice to hold meetings for the public to provide testimony on
the Draft EIR. The City will be holding two public meetings during the review period,
one for the Planning Commission on March 21, 2002 and one for the City Council on
April 8, 2002.
The overall purpose of the workshop is to gather public testimony on the Draft EIR and
Draft General Plan and to provide recommendations to the City on any issues that need to

be addressed in the Draft documents. The Draft EIR and Draft General Plan have already
been distributed to the Planning Commission and are attached by reference only to this
staff report. Members of the public may obtain printed copies or CD-ROM's of the Draft
documents by purchase at City Hall or view them for free at the Atascadero Library or
City website at www.atascadero.org.
No formal action will be taken on either the EIR or the General Plan at this
workshop.
Staff Recommends:
1. The Planning Commission take public testimony on the Draft EIR and Draft
General Plan, reminding the public that only written comments will be formally
responded to in the Final EIR.

identifying any issues that should be addressed in either the Draft EIR or Draft
General Plan.
3. The Planning Commission make a recommendation to the City Council regarding
the inclusion of additional Open Space designations on the Land Use Diagram.
