Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084 Applicant: Allied Atascadero, LLC, 11150 Santa Monica Blvd., Ste. 770, Los Angeles, CA 90025 Project Title: Reconsideration of Conditional Use Permit 2005-0148 Project Location: 4300 EI Camino Real, Atascadero, CA 93422 (San Luis Obispo County) APN 049-221-063 Project The previously approved entitlement has expired. The applicant has applied for a Description: reconsideration of the previously approved Conditional Use Permit to allow the following: The proposed project consists of an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through restaurant located on 0.83 acres within the Commercial Retail Zone. The proposal includes a main dining building with outdoor patio areas for restaurant patrons and a drive-through facility along the EI Camino Real and San Anselmo frontages. The site is currently vacant and located within the existing K -Mart Shopping Center. General Plan Designation: General Commercial (GC) Zoning District: Commercial Retail (CR) Proposed Consistent with the previously Certified Mitigated Negative Declaration. Environmental Determination: Senior Planner Kelly Gleason gave the staff report and with City Engineer Steve Kahn answered questions of the Commission. PUBLIC COMMENT Joel Pickens, applicant's representative, gave a brief history of their marketing efforts for the site and answered questions of the Commission. Chairperson Fonzi closed the Public Comment period. Commissioner O'Grady spoke about the recent approvals of drive-through businesses by this Commission and remarked that the General Plan calls for balanced development, which he does not see with so many of this type of business proliferating throughout the City. Commissioner O'Keefe expressed concern that when this was originally approved it was for a specific project which included improvements along San Anselmo. Because this may be a different project she is reluctant to approve it not knowing what the City would get at the site. Vice Chairperson Slane stated that this was approved prior to this Commission, and also approved by the City Council. The big picture for him is the traffic issue at this location and with the funding coming in to mitigate the traffic there, and with the PC Draft Minutes 05/06/08 Page 6 of 10 Council's approval, he questions why the Commission would not approve the project. If the APCD requirements can be met, he believes this project should go forward. Commissioner Jack stated this has already gone through the process and it is back only because a time limit ran out. Because the City Council has fully addressed and approved this, with the Amendments as presented, he sees no reason to not approve the project as long as the traffic situation can be mitigated. Commissioner Heatherington expressed dismay that this could be considered for approval without it being updated, and if the only way to get it updated would be to come back with an actual project, there would be no way she could support approval. Commissioner Marks commented that drive-throughs don't fit into the City's General Plan, and smart growth principles are very clear about projects not encouraging traffic. He believes the Commission would not be acting wisely if it approves an old project without some updating from the APCD. He would be willing to look at a drive-through if this project were sent back to APCD. Senior Planner Gleason suggested staff can reissue the original Mitigated Negative Declaration, and then bring that back to the Commission with any comments they receive from the APCD or others, and the Commission could decide at that time if suggested mitigation measures would be addable without changing the project, or if the project must be redone due to the extent of their mitigation measures. Chairperson Fonzi stated she is torn on this, because, at this time there is no actual applicant, so the Commission doesn't know what the project will be. She is also torn about the traffic, as there must be improvement, and the City Council wanted those improvements and voted in favor of the project. Based on the Council's direction she is inclined to vote in favor of this, but she questions what the City will be getting. MOTION: By Vice Chairperson Slane and seconded by Chairperson Fonzi to adopt Resolution PC 2008-0020 approving Conditional Use Permit 2005-0148 based on findings and subject to Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring. Motion failed 3:4 by a roll -call vote. (O'Grady, Marks, Heatherington, O'Keefe opposed) Commissioners Jack, Slane, and Chairperson Fonzi stated for the record that they voted in favor of the motion solely because of the City Council's vote and the affect on the traffic mitigation. MOTION: By Commissioner O'Keefe to have staff re -circulate the Negative Declaration. Motion died for lack of a second. PC Draft Minutes 05/06/08 Page 7 of 10 MOTION: By Commissioner O'Grady and seconded by Commissioner Heatherington to deny the project. Motion failed 3:4 by a roll -call vote. (Jack, O'Keefe, Slane, Fonzi opposed) MOTION: By Commissioner O'Grady and seconded by Commissioner Jack to refer the item back to staff until such time as the applicant comes forward with a more definitive project for the site. Commissioner O'Grady withdrew his motion. MOTION: By Commissioner O'Grady and seconded by Commissioner Heatherington to deny the reconsideration of the original project and that when the applicant has a real tenant, to resubmit a CUP application. Motion fails 3:4 by a roll -call vote. (Jack, O'Keefe, Slane, Fonzi opposed) MOTION: By Commissioner Jack and seconded by Vice Chairperson Slane to continue this to the next meeting to give the Commission time to consult with their respective City Council Members for any additional direction. Motion fails 3:4 by a roll -call vote. (Marks, Heatherington, O'Keefe, Fonzi opposed) MOTION: By Commissioner Marks to deny the project and have the applicant resubmit the project for the full analysis. Motion died for lack of a second. MOTION: By Commissioner Heatherington and seconded by Commissioner O'Grady to deny the reconsideration of the Conditional Use Permit. Motion passed 7:0 by a roll -call vote. 5.

The site is adjacent to Atascadero Creek, the Salinas River, the railroad tracks, and the Highway 41 bridge crossing. The site is currently used by the Atascadero Mutual Water Company as a corporation yard, which includes plant operations, equipment maintenance, and materials storage. Existing Site Plan Analysis Currently, the Atascadero Mutual Water Company conducts business at two locations. The corporation yard operates at the subject site on Sycamore Road, and the management and administration functions are located on EI Camino Real. The Water Company is in need of both additional office and corporation yard space. The proposed project would enable the AMWC to combine the corporation yard and the administration services at a single location.

Offices and a new board room would be included in the building. The building is designed with many sustainable building concepts. It is oriented to take advantage of southerly exposure solar gain in winter and northerly glare - free daylighting year round. The AMWC corporation yard would remain on-site towards the rear of the lot. Public access to the corporation yard would be controlled by perimeter security fencing. An existing storage building, shop, and treatment building are proposed to remain on-site. Two existing metal buildings would be demolished. A new 7,896 sq. ft. equipment storage barn and a new 1,440 sq. ft. garage for small vehicles are proposed. The new buildings would be pre-engineered metal buildings with sloped standing seam -metal roofing. Clearstory windows are incorporated for day lighting. Large bays provide access for the equipment. The two (2) existing metal buildings will be painted to match the new structures for consistency. The paving for the corporation yard will be designed to prevent runoff from entering Atascadero Creek directly. Drainage will be directed to a bio-swale that will provide a natural means of introducing site run-off into the river basin.

The two existing access gates at the corner of Sycamore and Capistrano will be closed. Pedestrian access is provided from Sycamore Road along the access drive, leading to the administration building entrance. A new 40 sq. ft. monument sign on an 18 -inch stone base is proposed at the corner of the access driveway and Sycamore Road. A second monument sign (3 -foot by 5 -foot high) for directional purposes is proposed at the end of the access drive. The proposed grading plan for the project identifies a 2.76 acre borrow area. This area, located adjacent to the new access driveway, will contain 26,000 cubic yards of stockpiled materials resulting from the Atascadero Mutual Water Company's recharge ponds on the Salinas river parcel, approved with PLN 2007-1257 (CUP 2007-0221.) All stockpiled materials shall be located outside the floodway. Erosion control shall be maintained in accordance with the Public Works Department requirements.

The radio mast is a 60 -foot monopole with three (3) 20 -foot antenna whips on top. The height needed for the mast is determined by the proximity to Pine Mountain. Section 9- 4.113 of the Atascadero Municipal Code limits height of antennas to 50 feet, unless Planning Commission approves the taller height during the Conditional Use Permit process. Due to the fact that the radio mast is necessary for the Water Company's plant operations, including radio communications, well monitoring, and remote control systems, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the mast as proposed. A condition has been included in the draft resolution which states that the radio mast shall not be leased for private use, such as cell phone companies.

A large landscape planter is located along the back of the parking lot to screen the corporation yard from the administration building. Landscape fingers with shade trees are provided every four parking spaces throughout the parking lot. The proposed landscape will include public information and exhibits on water use and drought tolerant landscaping. The area around the administration building near Sycamore Road is designed as a large demonstration garden. An outdoor meeting space is proposed in addition to an informational kiosk for self -guided tours. Examples of climate adapted plant species, irrigation strategies, and planting schemes will be featured. Security fencing is proposed throughout the project site. A 42 -inch high decorative black metal fence is proposed around the demonstration gardens along the Sycamore frontage and the new access driveway. The black metal fence would be combined with 4 -foot tall stone pilasters. The front of the corporation yard would be enclosed with new 8 -foot decorative security fence. The back section of the corporation yard will be enclosed with a combination of new and existing 6 -foot high chain link fencing with 3 -strand barbed wire. The Atascadero Municipal Code allows chain link fencing in the Industrial zones, provided that is green vinyl coated and screened with evergreen landscaping. Staff has included Condition 7 in the attached resolution to ensure that the new fencing is installed according to code requirements, which includes additional landscaping along the chain link fences. A 20 -foot setback from the top of the bank of Atascadero Creek will be maintained with the fences, consistent with the creek setbacks required by General Plan Policy 8.2. Currently, a narrow accessway to the De Anza Trail is located between Atascadero Creek and the Atascadero Mutual Water Company's corporation yard. The AMWC has proposed to widen and improve the access at this location in order to extend the De Anza Trail from Sycamore Road to the Salinas River. The existing fence and a portion of the existing corporation yard paving will be removed to accommodate the trail improvements. This will allow for a 20 -foot wide trail access along the top of the bluff of Atascadero Creek. Any areas along the trail zone which are disturbed by grading for the trail improvements will be vegetated with indigenous plantings as necessary (Condition 9.)

No construction is proposed within the creek or the river. Several mitigation measures have been included in order to protect the native plants and animal habitat during and after construction (Mitigation Measures 4.b.2 through 4.e.3; see attached CEQA document and attached resolution). The project proposal consists of the removal of nine (9) native trees with a total diameter of forty-eight (48) inches. All trees proposed for removal are less than nine inches DBH. The large trees along Sycamore Road will remain on site. While many of these trees are not species which are protected under the Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance, proposed improvements have been designed to save the trees. Tree protection shall be installed to protect these trees during construction (Condition 16.) Street Improvements Frontage improvements are proposed along Sycamore Road and at the intersection of Sycamore and Capistrano. Currently, only the southeast leg of the 3 -way stop has a stop sign for traffic control; the other two legs have no traffic control devices. There is limited sight and stopping distance at this intersection, which causes concerns in regards to the existing pedestrian trail on the west side of the intersection and the increased pedestrians which will be accessing the proposed trail improvements at this location. A warrant analysis was prepared, which recommended the installation of a 3 -way stop at this intersection in order to create safe pedestrian access. A pedestrian crosswalk will be installed across the north leg of the intersection to allow safe access to the De Anza Trail. A raised island will be installed at the corner of Capistrano and Sycamore in to further aid in traffic control. Frontage improvements along the project frontage include upgrades to Sycamore Road. A meandering 5 -foot sidewalk will avoid the large existing trees along the right-of-way. SycarAre 5' A4D TA A lD t 7 I New pedestrian ME 41W as ON "M rtASWM Um.

The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan. Staff Comment: The use is consistent with the Industrial and Industrial Park land use designation. 2. The proposed use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff Comment: As conditioned, the project satisfies all zoning code provisions. 3. The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of the use should not, because of the circumstances and conditions applied in this particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental of injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and the use. Staff Comment: The facility upgrades will not be detrimental to the general public or working persons health, safety, or welfare. All impacts have been mitigated through the environmental review analysis. 4. The proposed use will not be inconsistent with the character of the immediate neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development. Staff Comment: The project has been designed to improve the visual character of the facility with new structures, landscaping, and fencing improvements along Sycamore Avenue. The project will not be inconsistent with the neighborhood character. The new administration building, road improvements, and new landscape will improve the visual quality of the site. 5. The proposed use 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. Staff Comment: The site is currently used as a corporation yard for the water company. Significant traffic increases are not expected to be generated by the facility upgrades. Street improvements on Sycamore Road and pedestrian safety features at the intersection are included to mitigate any additional traffic. ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 7-15-08 Proposed Environmental Determination A Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated to public agencies and residents within 1000 feet of the property on June 13, 2008. Agencies which were notified include the Southern Pacific Transportation Co., Cal Trans, Regional Water Quality Board, Department of Fish and Game, Army Corps of Engineers, APCD, the Salinan Tribe, and the Chumash Tribe. The applicant shall work with the APCD to meet all of the permitting and construction requirements for projects over one acre of disturbed area. A Phase I Archeological Study was completed for the project and is available in the project file for review. The majority of the site has been previously graded and has been previously used as the Water Company's construction yard. The project archeologist recommends that no further cultural resource studies be required for this project. A finding is proposed that this project would not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission certify Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2008-0011. CONCLUSION: The proposed project consists of an application for facility upgrades at the Atascadero Mutual Water Company production and distribution site. The project provides landscaping throughout the site and demonstration gardens for public education. Parking is located towards the center of the site to provide for a pedestrian -oriented frontage. The project proposal includes the construction of two (2 new metal buildings, a 12,000 square -foot, single -story administration building, and a radio tower. Improvements are proposed to the trail along Atascadero Creek, behind the AMWC facility. The trail will be widened in order to create better access to the De Anza Trail. Frontage improvements will be installed along Sycamore Road and at the intersection of Sycamore and Capistrano. Staff finds that the proposed project, as conditioned, meets the required findings necessary for Planning Commission approval. ITEM NUMBER: 3 DATE: 7-15-08 ALTERNATIVES: 1. The Commission may modify 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 should specify the reasons for denial of the project and recommend an associated finding with such action.

This act of generosity of the AMWC will be a wonderful benefit to the community. Thank you, DJ E ecutive Director CC: John B. Neil, AMWC Attachment 4: Arborist Report and Tree Protection A & T AR13ORISTS P.O. BOX 1311 TEMPLETON, CA 93465 (805) 434-0131 6-27-06 AUG 2 2 2006 Atascadero Mutual Water Company Expansion COMMUNITY DEQ_PMXI This tree protection plan is in regard to the planned expansion fort e Water Company's expansion plans on Sycamore Road in Atascadero, California. The native trees on-site consist of coast live oaks (Quercus agrifolia), valley oaks (Quercus lobata), California sycamores (Platairus racemosa), and toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia). Also tagged and numbered were several manzanita trees (Arclostaphylos sp. ). They are not on the native tree list, however, they were tagged to provide reference for locating other native trees. Total number of removals for the protected trees is nine with a total diameter of 50 inches. All removals are relatively young trees. Some may be able to be transplanted on site. There is existing cyclone fencing for trees 91 through #5. This fencing should provide sufficient protection and no other fencing is needed for these trees as long as the original fence remains in place. Trees #28 and 929 are pointed out on the preliminary site plan to be removed. We do not see the impact that would require these trees to be removed. Possibly they can be saved. There are no new utilities shown on the plans, however there appears to be ample space to route the trenches outside of all native tree drip lines. There is some landscape planned near trees 922 through #27. The landscape mitigation below shall be followed by any landscape contractors/designers. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide a copy of this tree protection plan to any and all contractors and subs that work within the drip line of any native tree. It is highly recommended that each contractor sign and acknowledge this tree protection plan. This project shall require an on-site pre -construction meeting with the city, owner, grading contractor and the arborist. Topics will include fencing, monitoring and requirements for a positive final occupancy letter. All trees potentially impacted by this project are numbered and identified on both the grading plan and the spreadsheet. Trees are numbered on the grading plans and in the field with an aluminum tag. Tree protection fencing is shown on the grading plan. In the field, trees to be saved have yellow tape and trees to be removed have red tape. Tree Rating System A rating system of 1-10 was used for visually establishing the overall condition of each tree on the spreadsheet. The rating system is defined as follows: Rating Condition 0 Deceased I E\ ;nce of massive past failures, extreme ;ase and is in severe decline. 2 May be saved with attention to class 4 pruning, insect/pest eradication and future monitoring. 3 Some past failures, some pests or structural defects that may be mitigated by class IV pruning. 4 May have had minor past failures, excessive deadwood or minor structural defects that can be mitigated with pruning. 5 Relatively healthy tree with little visual structural and or pest defects. 6 Healthy tree that probably can be left in its natural state. 7-9 Have had proper arboricultural pruning and attention or have no apparent structural defects. 10 Specimen tree with perfect shape, structure and foliage in a protected setting (i.e. park, arboretum). The following mitigation measures/methods must be fully understood and followed by anyone working within the drip line of any native tree. Any necessary clarification will be provided by us (the arborists) upon request. 1. Fencing: The proposed fencing shall be shown in orange ink on the grading plan. It must be a minimum of 4' high chain link, snow or safety fence staked at the edge of the drip line or line of encroachment for each tree or group of trees. The fence shall be up before any construction or earth moving begins. The owner shall be responsible for maintaining an erect fence throughout the construction period. The arborist(s), upon notification, will inspect the fence placement once it is erected. After this time, fencing shall not be moved without arborist inspection/approval. If the orange plastic fencing is used, a minimum of four zip ties shall be used on each stake to secure the fence. All efforts shall be made to maximize the distance from each saved tree. The fencing must be constructed prior to the city pre -construction meeting for inspection by the city and the arborists. 2. Soil Aeration Methods: Soils within the drip line that have been compacted by heavy equipment and/or construction activities must be returned to their original state before all work is completed. Methods include water jetting, adding organic matter, and boring small holes with an auger (18" deep, 2-3' apart with a 24" auger) and the application of moderate amounts of nitrogen fertilizer. The arborist(s) shall advise. 3. Chip Mulch: All areas within the drip line of the trees that cannot be fenced shall receive a 4-6" layer of chip mulch to retain moisture, soil structure and reduce the effects of soil compaction. 4. Trenching Within Drip Line: All trenching for foundations within the drip line of native trees shall be hand dug. All major roots shall be avoided whenever possible. All exposed roots larger than 1" in diameter shall be clean cut with sharp pruning tools and not left ragged. A Mandatory meeting between the arborists and grading/trenching contractor(s) shall take place prior to work start. This activity shall be monitored by the arborist(s) to insure proper root pruning is talking place. 5. Grading Withii. se Drip Line: Grading should not t -oach within the drip line unless authorized. Grading should not disrupt the normal drainage pattern around the trees. Fills should not create a ponding condition and excavations should not leave the tree on a rapidly draining mound. 6. Exposed Roots: Any exposed roots shall be re-covered the same day they were exposed. If they cannot, they must be covered with burlap or another suitable material and wetted down 2x per day until re -buried. 7. Paving Within The Drip Line: Pervious surfacing is preferred within the drip line of any native tree. This includes coring vertical tubing approximately 4 feet on center within the drip line and backfilling with Mychorizza, slow release fertilizer and pea gravel. Not applicable for this project. 8. Equipment Operation: Vehicles and all heavy equipment shall not be driven under the trees, as this will contribute to soil compaction. Also there is to be no parking of equipment or personal vehicles in these areas. All areas behind fencing are off limits unless pre -approved by the arborist. 9. Existing Surfaces: The existing ground surface within the drip line of all native trees shall not be cut, filled, compacted or pared, unless shown on the grading plans and approved by the arborist. 10. Construction Materials And Waste: No liquid or solid construction waste shall be dumped on the ground within the drip line of any native tree. The drip line areas are not for storage of materials either. 11. Arborist Monitoring: An arborist shall be present for selected activities (trees identified on spreadsheet and items bulletcd below). The monitoring does not necessarily have to be continuous but observational at times during these activities. It is the responsibility of the owner(s) or their designee to inform us prior to these events so we can make arrangements to be present. It is the responsibility of the owner to contract (prior to construction) a locally licensed and insured arborist that will document all monitoring activities. • pre -construction fence placement • any utility or drainage trenching within any drip line 0 All grading and trenching near trees requiring monitoring on the spreadsheet 12. Pre -Construction Meeting: An on-site pre -constriction meeting with the Arborist(s), Owner(s), Planning Staff, and the earth moving team shall be required for this project. Prior to final occupancy, a letter from the arborist(s) shall be required verifying the health/condition of all impacted trees and providing any recommendations for any additional mitigation. The letter shall verify that the arborist(s) were on site for all grading and/or trenching activity that encroached into the drip line of the selected native trees, and that all work done in these areas was completed to the standards set forth above. 13. Pruning: Class Tuning includes-Crown reduction prur. , shall consist of reduction of tops, sides or individual limbs. A trained arborist shall perform all pruning. No pruning shall take more than 25% of the live crown of any native tree. Any trees that may need pruning for road/home clearance shall be pruned prior to any grading activities to avoid any branch tearing. 14. Landscape: All landscape under the drip -line shall be drought tolerant or native varieties. Lawns shall be avoided. All irrigation trenching shall be routed around drip lines; otherwise above ground drip -irrigation shall be used. It is the owner's responsibility to notify the landscape contractor regarding this mitigation. 15. Utility Placement: All utilities and sewer/storm drains shall be placed down the roads/driveways and when possible outside of the drip lines. The arborist shall supervise trenching within the drip line. All trenches in these areas shall be exposed by air spade or hand dug with utilities routed under/over the roots. Roots greater than 2 inches in diameter shall not be cut. 16. Fertilization and Cultural Practices: As the project moves toward completion, the arborist(s) may suggest either fertilization and/or mycorrhiza applications that will benefit tree health. Mycorrhiza offers several benefits to the host plant, including faster growth, improved nutrition, greater drought resistance, and protection from pathogens. The included spreadsheet includes trees listed by number, species and multiple stems if applicable, diameter and breast height (4.5'), condition (scale from poor to excellent), status (avoided, impacted, removed, exempt), percent of drip line impacted, mitigation required (fencing, root pruning, monitoring), construction impact (trenching, grading), recommended pruning and individual tree notes. If all the above mitigation measures are followed, we feel there will be no additional long-term significant impacts to the remaining native trees. A & T Arborists strongly suggests that the responsible party (owner of their designee) make copies of this report. Any reproduction by A & T Arborists or changes to the this original report will require an additional charge. Please let us know if we can be of any future assistance to you for this project.
