BIG BUBBA'S BAD BBQ, 8050 EL CAMINO REAL, APPEARANCE REVIEW PRESENTATION Community Development Director Warren Frace and Redevelopment Specialist John Jansons provided the staff report and answered questions of the Commission. Roger Sharp, applicant, asked for the Commission's support and discussed his restaurant, its philosophy and distributed a report on his facility to the Commission (Exhibit A). Mr. Sharp answered questions of the Commission. Commissioner Beraud indicated that the only issue she has with the project is the tower and asked if it were negotiable. Mr. Sharp stated that tower was designed to divert attention from the trash dumpster and the negative aspects of the rear of the building. Commissioner Bentz felt the applicant had a unique design for his restaurant, which attracts customers, however he felt there could be room for some modification, but not enough to detract from the distinctiveness of the building design. Commissioner Jones stated that the placement of the restaurant on this portion of El Camino Real was appropriate. He also agreed with Commissioner Bentz and felt there were some small design modifications that could be done, however, as it is not in the historic downtown area, he likes the concept. Vice Chairperson Kelley indicated that he likes the concept and is happy with the design of the restaurant. Commissioner O'Keefe stated that she had a problem with the design as it was in a very high profile location and very different from everything else in the area. Commissioner Porter thanked the applicant for looking to Atascadero as an expansion location for the restaurant, and stated he agreed with Commissioner Bentz and felt this project would catch some of the tax leakage. He feels the concept fits in with the community and likes the idea as presented. Commissioner Beraud stated she was concerned with height of the tower and how it will look from the rear. She feels it will be very massive. Mr. Sharp explained that the tower is 4 1/2 feet higher than the roofline. Chairperson Fonzi told the applicant that she is pleased to see them coming into Atascadero. She felt the design is very original and will be a good addition to the city even though it doesn't exactly fit in with the existing architecture. She expressed the hope that the applicant would be willing to work with staff on minor adjustments to the plan. She would like to see the sign and the landscaping tied in so that it doesn't appear to be totally foreign to the front of Albertson's. 4. TREE REMOVAL PERMIT 2003-0039: 8270 TOLOSO ROAD (MESSER) Community Development Director Warren Frace provided the staff report and answered questions of the Commission. Mike Messer, applicant, explained what he had done to revise his plan and answered questions of the Commission. Art Tonneson, project arborist, answered questions of the Commission. PUBLIC COMMENT Galen Little, 8265 Toloso Road, felt the home should be designed for the lot as opposed to designing the lot to accommodate the house. Additionally, he felt there were still too many tree removals on the site. Tom Marks, 8251 Toloso Road, explained that part of the grading on the lot had been done recently while testing for a septic system and this has impacted the trees. He indicated that stem wall design is not fit for this type of property and that this home should be constructed in another part of town where the property is flat. Mr. Parks feels the home must be designed to fit the property. Clement Salvadore, 8240 Toloso Road, agreed with the two previous speakers and felt the trouble with the applicant's house is that it is not suitable for this particular piece of land. The footprint of the home is too large for the steep slope on the property and too many trees will have to be removed. Chairperson Fond closed the Public Comment period. Commissioner O'Keefe read from the Minutes of the last meeting where the applicant was encouraged to consider alternate designs and also some of the cost comparison design work. She stated there were no alternative designs and the Commission is still dealing with the same house plan. Therefore, in her opinion, the applicant basically ignored what the Commission previously recommended. Regarding, the pad, she cannot see that it adds any merit to what the applicant proposes to do because the topography of the land requires a different design, specifically a raised foundation. Also Commissioner O'Keefe felt the applicant is not following the General Plan or the Tree Ordinance, which states preserving native trees are to be encouraged and the design of a building will be such that it takes this into consideration. Vice Chairperson Kelley felt that the pad as it exists is not suitable for a building because it will have to be completely re -compacted, therefore considerable grading must be done regardless of the type of house the applicant builds. He stated that the applicant did add stem walls as requested and brought back the toe of the grading saving numerous trees. Vice Chairperson Kelley felt the applicant had done the best he could given the constraints of the site. Commissioner Bentz agreed that the applicant has made a significant effort at reducing the tree impacts, effectively eliminating his back yard. He feels the applicant has the right to build a house on his property and he supports the project. Commissioner Beraud expressed disappointment that no alternative designs were presented for consideration. She appreciates the applicant's efforts to decrease the number of tree removals, but would still like to see the alternative designs. Commissioner Jones indicated that he was still having difficulty making some of the findings for the project, specifically, on item #C, the proposal on the comparisons for practical design alternatives. MOTION: By Commissioner O'Keefe and seconded by Commissioner Beraud to deny the applicant's request to remove the trees and that the applicant come back with alternative designs. AYES: Commissioners O'Keefe, Beraud, Jones, and Chairperson Fonzi NOES: Commissioners Porter, Bentz and Kelley ABSTAIN: None Motion passed 4:3 by a roll -call vote. 4-A. TREE REMOVAL PERMIT 2003-0040: 2055 SAN FERNANDO RD. (DELEO) Planning Services Manager Steve McHarris provided the staff report and answered questions of the Commission. Steve Soenke, architect and applicant's representative, gave a history of the site and stated that the applicant will be occupying the home and his sister will occupy the second home. There are two separate lots currently in existence and the applicant wishes to share the driveway with the second home to minimize impact to the trees. Mr. Soenke explained the justification for the requested tree removals. MOTION: By Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Porter to adopt Resolution PC 2003-0096 approving a tree removal permit to allow the removal of 12 native oak trees located at 20055 San Fernando Road with the appropriate findings as set forth in the staff report. Commissioner Beraud questioned if the maker of the motion was adopting the staff's recommendations as part of the motion. The maker indicated that he was. Commissioner O'Keefe requested clarification as staff had also recommended that the first house be moved slightly to avoid the trees, saving three trees. The maker stated that it was his intent to follow those recommendations. Commissioner Porter withdrew his second based on this clarification. MOTION: By Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner O'Keefe to adopt Resolution PC 2003-0096 approving a tree removal permit to allow the removal of 12 native oak trees located at 20055 San Fernando Road with the appropriate findings as set forth in the staff report. AYES: Commissioners Jones, O'Keefe, Beraud, Bentz, Kelley and Chairperson Fonzi NOES: Commissioner Porter ABSTAIN: None Motion passed 6:1 by a roll -call vote. PUBLIC HEARINGS 5. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2003-0111: RITE AID DRIVE THRU Applicant: Rite Aid Corporation, PO Box 3165, Harrisburg, PA 17105 Project Title: Rite Aid Pharmacy Drive Thru Project Location: 7055 EI Camino Real, Atascadero, CA 93422 APN 030-081-016 Project The proposed project consists of a Conditional Use permit application to establish a drive Description: thru pharmacy at the existing Rite Aid location. No native trees are proposed for removal. Proposed Class 1 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Section 15301, Existing Facilities) Environmental exempts the minor additions to existing facilities that have a negligible expansion of use. Determination: (San Luis Obispo County) APN 031-091-005, 006, 008, 009, 031-092-016 Associate Planner Kelly Gleason provided the staff report and answered questions of the Commission. City Engineer Steve Kahn expressed concern with large vehicles loading and unloading in front of the shopping center and blocking traffic. He encouraged Rite Aid to utilize the loading dock in the rear to improve site circulation on the front. Don Thibault, construction manager for Rite Aid, addressed questions raised by the Commission and described the type of drive-through proposed for the site. He indicated that he would urge the operations people to do a better job of policing the delivery drivers when loading and unloading merchandise. PUBLIC COMMENT — None MOTION: By Vice Chairperson Kelley and seconded by Commissioner O'Keefe to adopt Resolution No. PC 2003-0095 certifying the proposed environmental determination and approving condition Use Permit 2003-0111 subject to the findings, conditions, and exhibits as attached and amending Condition No. 7 to include the managing of delivery vehicles.

ROAD ABANDONMENT 2003-0012, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 2003-0029: ENCINO/ATAJO 6 -LOT MAP Applicant: Don Messer, PO Box 1958, Atascadero, CA 93423, 466-0549 Project Title: Road Abandonment 2003-0012, Tentative Tract Map 2003-0029 Project 4.5 vacant acres located at the end of Encino Road between Atajo Road, Atascadero, CA Location: 93422 (San Luis Obispo County) APN 031-091-005, 006, 008, 009, 031-092-016 Project The proposed project consists of an application for Road Abandonment and a six lot tract Description: map. The project would result in the abandonment and realignment of a portion of Encino Road and the adjustment of six existing lots of record, no new lots would be created. The purpose of the project is to minimize hillside grading and impacts to native trees. The site consists of steep wooded slopes with Live Oak and White Oak woodlands and a portion Community Development Director Warren Frace provided the staff report and answered questions of the Commission. Fire Chief Kurt Stone gave a presentation, including a video on the Oakland fire, explaining fire access roads and the reasons for building them. Chief Stone answered questions of the Commission. Ken Wilson, applicant's representative, stated the applicant is in favor of the recommendation for a fire access. The applicant agrees there is a balance between increased traffic and the need for fire evacuation and agrees to the width of the road per the fire code. He feels if there is no barrier, it is best to have the entire road paved, however Mr. Wilson suggested the installation of a wooden breakaway hinged gate with a "no trespassing" sign that would pop open; with this gate a based road would be adequate for emergency escape. Mr. Wilson expressed concern with safety issues if through traffic is permitted on the road and again stated that there must be a balance between the fire concern and the traffic concern. He felt if the City requires the road to be a through one and there is an accident, the developer should not be held responsible because he put the road in. Russ Thompson, R. Thompson Consulting, stated that as long as he can remember the criteria for an emergency access road is that anything 12% or less has been acceptable at a base standard. If this is truly an emergency access only road, the vast majority of that interconnect piece is from 0 to 2%, and therefore, a base road is possible at that slope. PUBLIC COMMENT Tom Novak, 5740 Encino, stated the following concerns with this project: 1) Maintenance of the road, 2) second access out in an emergency is effected by the width of the road, 3) Option #1 is his first choice, Option #5 his second, 4) he likes the suggestion of a hinged, swinging gate, 5) Option #8 will require retaining walls, which will cause more trees to be cut down and more expense on relocating water and telephone lines. He questioned if the neighbors would be able to look at the plans ahead of time to be able to discuss this project as a group. Linda Christenson, 5990 Encino, expressed regret that the revised staff recommendation failed to reflect the strong neighborhood opposition to making Encino a through street. She feels Encino is a narrow access road and not adequate to accommodate through traffic. Mark Bewley, 5530 Encino, feels very little time has been spent on the engineering of the fire road. He feels the steep slopes on this project require engineering decisions that are not simple. of an un -named blue line creek. The project includes the removal of 133 native oak trees. General Plan Designation: SFR -Z (Single -Family Residential 1.5 — 2.5 acre minimum lot size) Zoning District: RSF- Z (Residential Single -Family 1.5 — 2.5 acre minimum lot size) Proposed Based on the initial study prepared for the project, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is Environmental proposed. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is available for public review at Determination: 6500 Palma Avenue, Community Development Department, Room 104, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Community Development Director Warren Frace provided the staff report and answered questions of the Commission.

He feels the steep slopes on this project require engineering decisions that are not simple. He is in favor of a turnaround or a barrier. He asked what would be done with the 2,300 cubic yards of excess dirt from the originally proposed full cut road. Celia Bewley, 5530 Encino, asked the Fire Chief for his reaction to the push through barrier and base road. Additionally she asked if the project follows the Tree Ordinance with the proposed mitigation measures. Darren Stovell, 5105 Portola, stated that his property backs up to the proposed project and raised the following issues: 1) drainage off of Portola road that runs through his property and through the proposed road, will this be diverted? 2) Small size of lots causes the homes to be clustered closely together. Kristen Ring, 5675 Encino, agreed with her neighbors who had previously spoken. She is confused about the easement and tree mitigation issues. Chairperson Fond closed the Public Comment period. Chairperson Fonzi asked staff and the applicant representatives to address the concerns raised during the Public Comment period. Commissioner Beraud suggested the following be added to any motion on this item: Pg. 100 Mitigation Measure 4.e.4—amend (d) to include the verbiage "the status of the project's impacted trees and their viability, which may require additional payment into the tree mitigation fund." She feels this should be added because of the number of trees to be impacted. MOTION: By Vice Chairperson Kelley and seconded by Commissioner Jones to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2003-0092 recommending that the City Council certify Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2003-0044; and, adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2003-0093 recommending that the City Council approve Road Abandonment 2003-0012, thereby approving the abandonment of a portion of Encino Road subject to findings and conditions; and, adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2003-0094 recommending that the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map 2003-0029, thereby approving a six lot subdivision tract that would adjust six existing Colony lots of record consistent with Road Abandonment 2003-0012, and provide for a 16 foot based fire access road connection to Encino Avenue with additional tree protection retaining walls, subject to findings and conditions and that the wooden barrier be applied at each end of Encino Road and with the following change: Mitigation Measure 4.e.4(d) to read: Upon project completion and prior to final occupancy a final status report shall be prepared by the project arborist certifying that the tree protection plan was implemented, the status of the project's impacted trees and their viability, which may require additional payment into the tree mitigation fund, the trees designated for protection were protected during construction, and the construction -related tree protection measures are not longer required for tree protection. AYES: Commissioners Jones, O'Keefe, Porter, Bentz and Kelley NOES: Commissioner Beraud and Chairperson Fonzi ABSTAIN: None Motion passed 5:2 by a roll -call vote. Commissioner Beraud stated she voted against the motion because she does not think there should be a gate. Chairperson Fonzi recessed the hearing at 9:55 p.m. Chairperson Fonzi called the meeting back to order at 10:10 p.m. Fire Chief Stone asked for clarification on the prior motion and if it was the intent of the motion maker that the road be 16 feet with two, 2 -foot shoulders. Vice Chairperson Kelley stated that it was correct, a total of 20 feet of all based road. Chairperson Fonzi called for a show of hands from the public indicating who was present for each of the remaining agenda items. She then asked the Commission for suggestions on items to be continued. MOTION: By Commissioner Bentz and seconded by Commissioner Jones to hear Item #7 and continue all remaining items to the next meeting and that these items would receive priority at that meeting. AYES: Commissioners Bentz, Jones, Beraud, Porter, O'Keefe, Kelley and Chairperson Fonzi NOES: None ABSTAIN: None Motion passed 7:0 by a roll -call vote. 7. ZONE CHANGE 2002-0036, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2003-0087, TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 2002-0035: 7755 NAVAJOA AVE. Applicant: Michael Emrich, 8580 Casanova Rd., Atascadero, CA 93422, 466-8113 Jack Huckobey; 5050 Portola Rd, Atascadero, CA 93422, 461-9234 Project Title: 7755 Navajoa Ave PD -7; Zone Change 2002-0036, Conditional Use Permit 2003-0087; Tentative Parcel Map 2002-0035 for a 4 -lot PD -7 subdivision Project 7755 Navajoa Ave, Atascadero, CA 93422 (Single Family Residence) Location- (San Luis Obispo County) APN 031-183-002. Project The proposed project consists of an application for a Zone Change, Conditional Use Permit, Description: and Tentative Parcel Map. The proposed project consists of six new single-family homes located on individual lots that will be developed under the requirements of the PD -7 overlay district within the Residential Multi -Family (RMF -10) zoning district. Each proposed residence is approximately 2000 square feet. The project includes one home per lot each with a two - car garage. Mitigation will be required for the removal of native walnut trees. General Plan Designation: Medium Density Residential — MDR Zoning District: Residential Multiple Family — RMF -10 Proposed Based on the initial study prepared for the project, a Negative Declaration is proposed. The Environmental proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was available for public review from 9/17/03 Determination: through 10/6/03 at 6500 Palma Avenue, Community Development Department, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Associate Planner Kelly Gleason provided the staff report and answered questions of the Commission. Russ Thompson, applicant's representative, stated that this PD -7 was different from others for the following reasons: 1) larger two-story units with greater square footage, 2) upscale units proposed, 3) use of quality materials, and 4) extensive use of pavers. Mr. Thompson indicated that the development is in a transition zone between commercial and residential and that it meets General Plan standards. He stated that the walnut trees were removed prior to the applicant taking ownership of the property and felt the applicant should not be penalized for their removal. PUBLIC COMMENT Cory Meyer, 7735 Navajoa Road, read from a prepared statement expressing his concerns with the project. (Exhibit B) Rob Lees, 7770 Navajoa Road, felt the project was not compatible with the neighborhood and that there is only one commercial building in the area. He would like to see four one-story units and stated the following concerns: 1) Navajoa Road is narrow and not maintained well, 2) there is a lack of parking along Navajoa Road, 3) the commercial building already brings excessive noise into the neighborhood, 4) the driveways of the proposed homes are situated so that auto lights will shine directly into his home, 5) flooding, and 6) privacy issues with two-story homes. Linda Benevitas, 7750 Navajoa Road, expressed her concerns with the potential size of the trees, runoff and flooding, and the lack of maintenance of Navajoa Road. She requested the Commissioners deny the project. Chairperson Fond closed the Public Comment period. Chairperson Fonzi asked staff and the applicant's representative to address questions raised during the Public Comment period. Commissioner O'Keefe reminded the Commission that they had looked at a project on Tunitas at the last meeting with the same parcel size and zoning, where the applicant put in four units. She felt these very large houses didn't fit with the smaller more modest homes in the area and made the following points: 1) this project does not conform to the General Plan where it states that new development must be compatible with the existing and surrounding neighborhoods, 2) for the Conditional Use Permit the Commission must make a finding that the project is compatible with the existing neighborhood, and she feels it is not, and 3) the feeling of the neighbors present tonight is to put in a smaller four unit project more compatible with the existing neighborhood. She stated she is unable to make the findings to support this project. Commissioner Bentz referred to page 113 of the staff report and quoted "The project site's multi- family residential zoning is consistent with the General Plan," and moved for adoption of the project. Vice Chairperson Kelley referred to the $500 tree mitigation and felt there had been ample testimony that the applicant did not remove the trees and should therefore not be made to pay this fee. Commissioner Beraud indicated that she was having trouble making the findings. Referring to Commissioner Bentz' statement, she feels the General Plan is open to interpretation and her role as a Planning Commissioner is to help the public interpret the General Plan. For this reason she agrees with Commissioner O'Keefe and the neighbors present that this project does not fit the character of the existing neighborhood. MOTION: By Commissioner Bentz and seconded by Vice Chairperson Kelley to adopt Resolution No. PC 2003-0098 recommending that the City Council certify Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2003-0051; and, adopt Resolution No. PC 2003-0099 recommending that the City Council introduce an ordinance for first reading to approve Zone Change 2002-0036 based on findings; and, adopt Resolution No. PC 2003-0100 recommending that the City Council approve the Master Plan of Development (CUP 2003-0087) based on findings, and subject to Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring; and, adopt Resolution No PC 2003-0101 recommending the City Council approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map 2003-0043 based on findings and subject to Conditions of approval and Mitigation Monitoring and to replace the tree replacement fee of $500 to zero and that the applicant will work with the property owner across the street to provide landscaping so that the driveway doesn't cause lights to shine in his front windows. AYES: Commissioners Bentz, Jones, Porter, Kelley and Chairperson Fonzi NOES: Commissioners O'Keefe and Beraud ABSTAIN: None Motion passed 5:2 by a Noll -call vote. 8.
