011-004), Atascadero (SLO County)
Project Description:
Development Agreement: The project will be processed with a development agreement. The
development agreement will be utilized as a legal vehicle to provide for a transfer of site-specific
development credits without creating a program that will produce unintended consequences, or a
precedent requiring that the City allow increased density on any other sites in Atascadero. The
development agreement will incorporate specific government code section procedures to limit its
use to the proposed project type and restrict its use in situations where development agreements
may be inappropriate. The development agreement will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission prior to consideration for adoption in ordinance form by the City Council.
The proposed development agreement is for a transfer of eight single-family residential lots
from Pine Mountain to two receiver sites under a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change
process. In addition, a site located along Coromar Avenue will receive a land use and zone
change to allow 16 single-family residential lots. The project includes the following
additional actions at each site:
A. Coromar Avenue: General Plan Amendment from General Commercial to SFR -X
(Maximum density of 4 units per acre with a minimum lot area of 0.5 acres net. Smaller lot
sizes up to 4 units per acre allowed through a planned development overlay process). Zone
Change from CR & CT to RSF-Xzone with Planned Development Overlay No.
17/Conditional Use Permit corresponds to the general plan amendment. The Planned
Development Overlay No. 17 may be established in the RSF X single family residential zones
on lots with a net acreage exceeding one (1) acre. The maximum density within the planned
development shall not exceed a gross density offour (4) units per acre. This overlay zone
contains specific site development standards that are incorporated into the proposed project.
A Vesting Tentative Tract Map is also included corresponding to the proposed 16 residential
lots (maximum project entitlement) and site improvements. In addition, a zone change is
proposed for a separate but contiguous single-family residential property located at 8955
Coromar Avenue for land use consistency, not subject to the proposed development
agreement or above-mentioned planed development.
B. Colima Road: General Plan Amendment from SE (2.5 —10 ac lot size) to RSF-Y
(Minimum lot size I acre - second units allowed subject to zoning requirements). Zone
Change from RS to RSF-Y corresponds to the general plan amendment. A new Planned
Development Overlay No. 21 is required to allow one preexisting lot to remain less than one
acre and to restrict all lots from adding second dwelling units. A Tentative Tract Map is also
included corresponding to the proposed 5 residential lots and site improvements. Maximum
project entitlement five (5) lots, three (3) of which are transferred units from the Pine
Mountain property plus two (2) lots that currently exist.
C. Ferrocaril Road (De Anza Estates): General Plan Amendment from SE (2.5 —10 ac lot
size) to RSF-Y (Minimum lot size I acre. Second units allowed subject to zoning
requirements). Zone Change from RS to RSF-Y corresponding to the general plan
amendment and an amendment to an existing Master Plan of Development to reflect the
additional lots and to restrict second dwelling units on all 20 lots within the on-site Planned
