Dead Tree on Lot 63 Las Lomas
9650 Via Cielo
(Estancia Development, LLC,)
SUBJECT:
The proposed project includes a request to remove one (1) 48-inch DBH White Oak that
has died of natural causes on a vacant lot. The tree is within the Woodlands/Las Lomas
Specific Plan area, and therefore requires approval of a tree removal permit prior to
removing the native tree.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommends:
Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC 2014--0001 to allow the removal of one (1)
48-inch DBH White Oak based on the required findings and subject to conditions of
approval and mitigation.
Situation and Facts:
1. Owner/ Applicant:: Estancia Development, LLC, PO Box 13, Pismo
Beach, CA 93448
2. Project Address: Lot 63, 9650 Via Cielo, Atascadero, CA 93422

4. General Plan Designation: Single-Family Residential-Y (SFR-Y)
5. Zoning District: Specific Plan 1: Las Lomas / Woodridge (SP1)
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 1-7-14
Background:
The Las Lomas / Woodridge Specific Plan development was originally approved by the
City Council in 2003. The original approvals included specific analysis of native trees,
including which trees were allowed to be removed and which were to be saved during
construction.
The previous project owner completed the majority of the subdivision site improvements
in 2005, including installation of the roads, general site drainage, and rough pad grading
of the lots. Tree protection was installed during construction, and only those trees
approved for removal were removed. Last year a new owner, Estancia Development.
LLC, in conjunction with Coastal Community Builders, purchased the ten (10) vacant
large SFR-3 lots in the Specific Plan area. The new owner is currently preparing to
begin construction of the ten remaining units on Via Cielo.
ANALYSIS:
As the new owner was preparing site specific plans for construction, it became evident
that the 48-inch White Oak on Lot 63 has had severe decline over the years, and is now
creating a potential hazard on this lot. The tree is located near the west property line,
near the existing home on Lot 62.
Tree Proposed for Removal on Lot 63
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 1-7-14
The applicant’s arborist has evaluated the tree and determined that the tree has died
due to natural causes. Grading, drainage improvements and roads were not installed in
proximity to this tree, but had only minor impacts to the critical root zone. In order to
eliminate the potential hazard created by the dead tree, the project arborist and City
staff are recommending that he tree be removed as soon as possible. The future home
on Lot 63 does not conflict with the location of the existing dead tree; however, the tree
should be removed in order to remove any liability for the developer or future
homeowner.
Tree Mitigation
The Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC) requires mitigation for all trees approved for
removal, including dead trees. Mitigation may be through one or more of the following
methods as identified in AMC Section 9-11.105:
AMC Section 9-11.105: Tree removal permits shall be conditioned by one or more of the
following methods:
(i) Depending on the characteristics of the site the applicant may plant replacement trees on
site. This method shall include payment in advance for three (3) site inspections during a four
(4) year establishment period;
(ii) Payment of fee to the Tree Replacement Fund;
(iii) Establishment of conservation easements, which will restrict removal of any tree within a
designated area of the property. (Ord. 350 § 2 (part), 1998)
In accordance with Section 9-11.105 of the Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance, Staff
has included a condition in the attached resolution which requires replanting of new
native trees on site. With the removal of this large White Oak, there will be a large open
area for tree planting on Lot 63. The native tree replacement standards require planting
of sixteen (16) five-gallon native trees on site. Larger trees may be planted in order to
reduce the total number of replacement trees required.
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 1-7-14
FINDINGS:
In considering any tree removal request, at least one of the required findings must be
made by the Planning Commission. Staff has identified the following finding as
appropriate for the application request:
“The tree is dead, diseased or injured beyond reclamation, as certified by a tree
condition report from an arborist.”
CONCLUSIONS:
A tree removal application has been submitted for removal of a 48-inch DBH White Oak
on Lot 63 at Las Lomas. The tree is dead and is recommended for removal in order to
eliminate the potential hazard. The tree is within the Woodlands/Las Lomas Specific
Plan area, and therefore, requires approval of a tree removal permit prior to removing
the native tree. Based on the above analysis, staff believes findings can be made to
approve the requested removal, subject to the required mitigation.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may approve the project with additional or revised project
conditions.
2. The Commission may deny the project if it is found that the required findings cannot
be made.
3. The Commission may continue the item and refer the request back to staff for
additional information or analysis. Direction should be given to staff and the
applicant on required information needed.

4 Lot Subdivision with Master Plan of Development
SUBJECT:
The proposed project consists of a Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide one (1) existing
2.56 acre lot at 3000 El Camino Real into four (4) lots. The parcel is located in the
Commercial Park zoning district, and therefore, requires a conceptual Master Plan of
Development (Conditional Use Permit 2013-0270) in order to permit the smaller lot
sizes and ensure orderly development. Two (2) native trees are proposed for removal
in order to construct a shared access driveway through the project site.
RECOMMENDATION:
Design Review Committee Recommends Planning Commission:
1. Adopt PC Resolution 2014-0002, approving Conditional Use Permit 2013-0270
and Tree Removal Permit 2013-0166, thereby approving a conceptual Master
Plan of Development with minimum lot sizes below two acres, subject to
Conditions of Approval and based on findings; and,
2. Adopt PC Resolution 2014-0003 approving Tentative Parcel Map 2013-0100 for
a four (4) lot subdivision at 3000 El Camino Real consistent with CUP 2013-
0270, subject to Conditions of Approval and based on findings.

DISCUSSION:
Background
The existing 2.56 acre site at 3000 El Camino Real is currently developed with Kai Lana
restaurant, located towards the northern portion of the lot at the corner of San Benito
Road and El Camino Real. The southern and western portions of the lot are vacant. The
site contains several native trees.
The applicant has applied for a Tentative Parcel Map in order to subdivide and sell a
portion of the existing parcel for future development by others. A Master Plan of
Development is required in the CPK
zone in order to create lots smaller than
two (2.0) acres, and therefore, a
Conditional Use Permit application has
also been submitted to identify the
conceptual master plan and shared
access through the new lots.

established at time of Final Map to clearly identify future shared access areas
and maintenance of pavement, driveways, sidewalks, parking and landscape
areas (not required to be an association);
2) The architectural character of the buildings shall be consistent throughout the
development, and shall be reviewed by DRC prior to issuance of building
permits;
3) A deed notification shall be recorded on each lot to notify future owners that a
CUP for site development has been established, and that the first parcel to
develop is required to install the shared through access driveway. An
additional map sheet shall be recorded with the Final Map to reference the
conceptual Master Plan of Development;
4) The parking shown on Parcel 1 shall be constructed at time of building
permits for any future expansion of the existing restaurant;
5) Building footprints shown with the Master Plan are conceptual, and changes
to the building locations or sizes may be permitted as follows:
o Staff level approval for minor modifications (under 10% change)
o DRC review required for major changes.
The DRC recommendations have been included in the attached draft Planning
Commission resolutions as Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed projects consist of a request for a Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the
existing parcel at 3000 El Camino Real into four (4) smaller lots in the Commercial Park
(CPK) zone. Parcels are proposed at 0.79, 0.43, 0.43, and 0.91 acres each.
The Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC Section 9-3.251) states that “this zone is
established to provide for large lot commercial and light manufacturing uses. It is
intended that special attention be given to providing for comprehensive development
plan to achieve appropriate functional relationships between various uses and preclude
“piecemeal” development of existing larger lots.”
In order to ensure that orderly development is created consistent with the zoning district
intention, the minimum lot size in the Commercial Park zone is two (2.0) acres. AMC
Section 9-3.254 allows smaller lot sizes for planned commercial and industrial
developments, provided that the Planning Commission determines that such smaller lot
sizes will not be detrimental to the purpose and intent of the Commercial Park Zone.
Therefore, a Master Plan of Development must be processed in the form of a
Conditional Use Permit in order to subdivide the existing 2.56 acre lot at 3000 El
Camino Real. The Conditional Use Permit ensures that even after the parcel map is
recorded and the lots are sold the separate owners, the overall subdivision layout will be
constructed in an orderly manner, thereby preventing piecemeal site development of the
new small lots. The master plan identifies a conceptual site layout with through shared
access for vehicles and pedestrians between the lots, shared parking, landscape areas,
shared drainage facilities, and conceptual building footprints.
Proposed Master Plan of Development
Access and Parking:
The proposed subdivision includes a shared easement for through access from El
Camino Real to San Benito Road, providing vehicular, pedestrian, and emergency
access to all four lots. Parking will line the access road to provide shared parking on
Lots 2, 3, and 4, for use by all four lots. Parking on Lot 1 (the existing restaurant) is not
proposed to be shared and would be for exclusive use by restaurant site. There are a
total of 88 proposed spaces as shown in Table 1. The proposed total parking spaces is
consistent with the required number of parking spaces found in AMC Section 9-4.118
based on the probable uses for the Master Plan of Development.
Table 1: Proposed Parking Calculation based on
Proposed Uses
Proposed Parcel 1 – Kai Lana Restaurant 40
Proposed Parcel 2 – General Merchandise Store 12
Proposed Parcel 3 – General Merchandise Store 18
Proposed Parcel 4 – Possible Mini Storage 2
Total Proposed Spaces 88
Kai Lana Restaurant is located on proposed Lot 1. The restaurant will retain its existing
parking lot and access points on El Camino Real and San Benito Road. Currently, the
restaurant has nine (9) paved parking spaces on site, and an adjacent area for overflow
parking. Based on the size of the restaurant and the number of tables, the restaurant
should be providing about 40 parking spaces on site to accommodate the existing
business. As part of the Master Plan of Development, an additional future parking area
with 19 spaces is proposed on Lot 1 for the restaurant. The restaurant will also be able
to use the parking on the adjacent lots as part of the shared access and parking
easement. The Design Review Committee discussed the timing of the additional 19
restaurant spaces during their review on December 11. The DRC recommends that
that the additional parking be installed if the restaurant submits any permits for
expansion in the future. The parking on Lot 1 would not be required to be installed in
conjunction with the through subdivision through access on this lot.
Landscape & Drainage:
Landscape areas are provided around the buildings, parking lot, adjacent to El Camino
Real, and in the small area near the basin and Highway 101 frontage. Approximately
24% of the site is retained as landscapeable area. Landscape plans will be submitted
with building permits for each lot to identify specific plant type and location, street trees
and parking lot trees and irrigation plans prior to permit issuance
There is one trash enclosure provided on Lot 1 for the existing restaurant, and one
additional shared trash enclosure will be provided along the southern property line for
use by the three future buildings. Drainage easements are identified on the parcel map,
and a shared drainage detention basin is provided at the southwest corner of the
proposed Lot 4 adjacent to Highway 101.
Building Architecture:
The building architecture for the three (3) future buildings will be submitted at the time of
building permit applications for the individual construction of each lot. The current owner
intends to sell the new lots for development by others, and therefore does not currently
know what the specific future use or design for the three vacant lots. Businesses
identified as allowed uses in the CPK zone would be allowed to submit for building
permits and be constructed according to the Master Plan of Development. Building
designs would be reviewed by the DRC at time of the building permit submittal to
ensure consistency with the CUP and the appearance review manual.
Lot 4 of the conceptual master plan is a larger lot (0.91 acres) which could
accommodate a larger building such as a mini-storage type use. Mini-storage is a
conditional use in the CPK zone; therefore, a separate conditional use permit would be
required to be approved by the Planning Commission at a later date to identify building
design, emergency access ways through the lot, and use operations prior to building
permit submittal. Identification of a mini storage type building layout on the conceptual
master plan does not automatically grant approval of a mini storage use; a future mini
storage use would be required to obtain its own CUP and Planning Commission
approval.
Tree Removal Permit
In addition to the Master Plan of Development and parcel map, the applicant has
submitted an application for a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of two Live Oak
trees totaling 22 inches DBH. The applicant will either pay a native tree mitigation fee of
$366.67, or plant seven (7) five-gallon native replacement trees, or a combination of the
two options. Fees or replanting would be due at time of issuance of the on-site
subdivision improvements for the new access driveway. The trees should not be
removed until building permits are issued for the on-site improvements and mitigation
fees or replanting is done.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Element
Goals and Policies:
Land Use Policy 2.1: “Ensure that new development is compatible with existing and
surrounding neighborhoods”.
Goal LOC 3. Transform the existing El Camino Real “strip” into a distinctive, attractive
and efficient commercial, office and industrial park area which can provide for the long-
term economic viability of the community.
Land Use Policy 3.1: Encourage retail businesses at efficient and attractive nodes along
El Camino Real and Morro Road with mixed office and residential uses between those
nodes.
Goal LOC 13: Provide a sound economic base to sustain the City’s unique character by
establishing a range of employment and business opportunities and generate sufficient
revenue to support adequate levels of public services, and environment, social and
educational quality.
Land Use Policy 13.1: Facilitate convenient location of goods and services needed by
local residents.
Goal LOC 14: “Retain and expand existing business and attract new businesses to
improve the availability of goods and services.”
Land Use Policy 14.1: “Encourage existing uses to continue providing needed products
and services.”
Land Use Policy 14.4: Ensure that City regulations and processes support economic
development.
It is Staff’s opinion that the Tentative Parcel Map and the Master Plan of Development
located at 3000 El Camino Real is consistent with the goals and policies of the General
Plan. As conditioned, the project incorporates elements that are consistent with the
scale and character of the surrounding commercial uses and consistent with the
General Plan’s appearance review requirements.
Conditional Use Permit Findings
The Conditional Use Permit process provides the opportunity for the public and the
Planning Commission to review the specifics of land use proposals, such as the
appropriateness of use, architectural design, site design, landscape, signage and
specific standards of the Zoning Ordinance. In addition parcels smaller than 2.0 acres
are only allowed in the CPK district when the Planning Commission finds that smaller
lots will not be detrimental to the purpose of the CPK district. In order to approve the
Conditional Use Permit and Tract map with lots below 2.0 acres the Planning
Commission is required to make the following findings:
1. The proposed project or use is consistent with the General Plan, as well as the City’s
Appearance Review Manual and any pertinent City policy or criteria adopted by
ordinance or resolution of the City Council.
Staff Comment: The use is consistent with the General Commercial designation of
the General Plan and the General Plan Land Use Element Goals LOC 3, LOC 13,
LOC 14, and Policies 2.1, 3.1, 13.1, 14.1 and 14.4. The Atascadero Design Review
Committee discussed the proposed project at their regular meeting on December 11,
2013. The DRC finds the project consistent with the appearance review manual and
recommends the project as conditioned.
2. The proposed project or use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Title (Zoning
Ordinance)
Staff Comment:
Any subsequent uses must be an allowed use in the Commercial park zone, or a
Conditional Use Permit must be obtained for conditionally allowed uses. Uses
identified in the conceptual Master Plan of Development would satisfy these
standards.
3. The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of the use will not,
because of the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be
detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public or person residing
or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property
or improvement in the vicinity of the use.
Staff Comment: The proposed development will not be detrimental to the general
public or working person’s health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to property or
improvement in the vicinity of the use.
4. That the proposed project or use will not be inconsistent with the character or the
immediate neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development.
Staff Comment: The Master Plan of Development has been designed to enhance
the appearance along El Camino Real by providing logical and consistent
development with shared access, parking and drainage. Additionally, landscaping
for the project area will be provided during the building permit process with up to
24% of the site available for landscaping.
5. That the proposed use or project will not generate a volume of traffic beyond the
safe capacity of all roads providing access to the project, either existing or to be
improved in conjunction with the project, or beyond the normal traffic volume of the
surrounding neighborhood that would result from full development in accordance
with the Land Use Element.
Staff Comment: The proposed project and use is consistent with the traffic
projection and road improvement anticipated within the General Plan.
6. Creation of lots smaller than 2.0 acres is consistent with the intent and purpose of
the CPK zoning district based on the Master Site Plan.
Staff Comment: Lot sizes in the Commercial Park zone are to be a minimum of two
(2) acres. Smaller lot sizes may be allowed for planned commercial and industrial
developments, where the Planning Commission determines that such smaller lot
sizes will not be detrimental to the purpose and intent of the Commercial Park Zone.
The proposed conceptual Master Plan of Development creates a plan for orderly
development that meets this requirement.
Based on staff’s analysis in the preceding sections, it appears that all of the required
findings for approval of the Conditional Use Permit can be made.
Tree Removal Permit Findings
In considering any tree removal request, at least one of the required findings must be
made by the Planning Commission. Staff has identified the following finding as
appropriate for the application request, as the two trees proposed for removal are
located in the area proposed for through access between the Sites and San Benito
Road.
The tree is obstructing proposed improvements that cannot be reasonably
designed to avoid the need for tree removal, as certified be a report from the site
planner and determined by the Community Development Department based on
the following factors:
a. Early consultation with the City,
b. Consideration of practical design alternatives,
c. Provision of cost comparison (from applicant) for practical design alternatives,
d. If saving tree eliminates all reasonable use of the property, or
e. If saving the tree requires the removal of more desirable trees.
Tentative Parcel Map Findings
In considering the Tentative Parcel Map, the Planning Commission must make the
following findings:
1. The proposed subdivision, as conditioned, is consistent with the General Plan
and applicable zoning requirements.
2. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
General Plan and applicable zoning requirements.
3. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Master Plan of Development
(CUP 2013-0270).
4. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed.
5. The site is physically suitable for the density of development proposed.
6. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish
and wildlife or their habitat.
7. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements acquired by the
public at large for access through, or the use of property within, the proposed
subdivision; or substantially equivalent alternative easements are provided.
8. The proposed subdivision design and type of improvements proposed will not be
detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public.
9. Creation of lots smaller than 2.0 acres is consistent with the intent and purpose
of the CPK zoning district based on the Master Site Plan.
Proposed Environmental Determination
The proposed project qualifies for a Class 15 categorical exemption (Section 15315,
Minor Land Divisions) for the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for
residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is
in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are
required, all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are
available, the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous
2 years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent.
Conclusion
The applicant is proposing a parcel map to subdivide one 2.56 acre site into four (4)
lots. A Conditional Use Permit has been submitted in conjunction with the parcel map in
order to identify a Master Plan of Development and maintain orderly development
consistent with the purpose and intent of the Commercial Park Zone. The proposed
conceptual site plan contains four (4) lots with building footprints, a through access
driveway, shared trash enclosure, shared parking, landscape and drainage areas. A
Tree Removal Permit has been submitted for the removal of two native trees measuring
a total of 22 inches DBH. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and
Atascadero Municipal Code based on the above analysis and incorporated conditions.
Staff recommends the approval of the Conditional Use Permit, Tentative Parcel Map,
and the Tree Removal Permit as proposed in the attached draft resolutions.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may include modifications to the project and/or conditions of
approval for the project.
2. The Commission may determine that more information is needed on some
aspect of the project and may refer the item back to the applicant and staff to
develop the additional information. The Commission should clearly state the type
of information that is required and move to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Commission may deny the project. The Commission must specify the
reasons for denial of the project and make an associated finding with such
action.
