Project
An application for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment is being processed in order to
Description:
correct the discrepancy between the previously approved Conditional Use Permit and the as -
built structure. The current CUP Amendment does not propose a change of use or a change
to the number of clients at the facility. The applicant is proposing a Residential Care Facility
which would serve no more than (15) fifteen senior residents, consistent with the original
2000 Conditional Use Permit approval. The Amendment is being processed for review of the
size of the as -built building, a new landscape plan, revised fencing, and proposed signage.

Determination:
Chairperson Fonzi announced that she finds it necessary to step down from
consideration of this item because she is an employee of Century 21, the listing agency
for the property, and although she will receive no benefit because of the sale, she wants
to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

project.
Vice Chairperson Jack asked staff to explain to the Commission how the building size
changed, and how this could be prevented in the future.
Deputy Community Development Director Steve McHarris explained the CUP and
building permit process, and how the building footprint expanded.

PUBLIC COMMENT
William Vaughn, applicant, explained why he is bringing this proposal before the
Planning Commission. He explained that the facility was built specially to house elderly
people, and has been underutilized for 5 years. He is now willing to invest the money to
see the project through.
Bob Hubbell, Century 21 Hometown Realty, listing agent for the facility, explained that
the project has been in escrow more than 5 times. He said there are 8 investors who
own the project who are in the audience tonight. The reason they are there, is to
discuss the square footage discrepancy, which is human error, and he would like to see
the project move forward.
Dave Garibay, 10610 West Front St., neighbor, stated that conditions of approval on the
original CUP were not followed, and he would like the Commission to resolve these
issues and the new items on the CUP. He said these violations are negligence and the
City should make restitution. (Exhibit A)
Eddie Sapien, 10620 West Front St., neighbor, spoke about his concerns with the
insurance and liability on the private easement. He stated that their insurance policies
may be declined or cancelled, and he asked the Commission to look into these issues
before a decision is made.
Linea Bloomfield, San Gabriel Road, said she drives by the facility every day, and can
see that the building looks completed, but it is vacant. She would like to see the building
occupied.
David Graves, builder, explained that the project had a CUP, but no plans when he built
it. He had hired an engineer, and in order to meet all the requirements, it ended up
bigger than what the CUP called for. Today, he supports seeing it occupied, especially
since someone wants to make the facility an exceptional place.
Kristen Crabtree, Century 21 Hometown Realty, and listing agent for Shirley Barratt,
and Randy Vaughan, stated that Shirley's intentions are to run a profitable business and
she supports approval of the project.
Jim Shannon, Atascadero resident, said that he supports having loved ones closer if
they need to go into a facility to make it better for a family to deal with, therefore, he
supports the project moving forward.
Vice Chairperson Jack closed the Public Comment period.

Time Extension #2
1155 EI Camino Real
(Wehn Group, LLC / EDA)
SUBJECT:
Consideration of a 2nd one-year Time Extension for Tentative Tract Map 2005-0067.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommends:
Adopt Resolution PC 2008-0039, thereby approving a 2nd one-year Time Extension of
Tentative Tract Map 2005-0067 in compliance with Sections 11-4.23(a) and 11-4.33(b)
of the Subdivision Ordinance.
SITUATION AND FACTS:
1. Property Owner: Wehn Group, LLC
934 Sycamore Canyon Road
Paso Robles, CA 93446
2. Project Address: 1155 EI Camino Real, Atascadero, CA 93422
APN: 049-042-018
3. General Plan Designation: High Density Residential (HDR)
4. Zoning District: Residential Multi -Family (RMF -16)
5. Site Area: 5.54 acres
6. Existing Use: Vacant
7. Environmental Status: Certified Mitigated Negative Declaration 2005-0028
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The project consists of a proposed subdivision of a 5.54 acre lot into 62 small residential
lots with park areas and detention basins. The property will utilize the City's wastewater
facilities and Atascadero Mutual Water Company will provide water services.
Analysis:
The Subdivision Map Act mandates an initial two-year life and, by local ordinance, the
City can extend initial life up to an additional 12 months. Additionally, the City may
extend the time at which the map expires for a period or periods not to exceed a total of
five years (these are discretionary extensions). The application for the extension must
be filed prior to the expiration date. The Planning Commission has discretion on whether
they want to extend the map, or they can defer the decision to the City Council.
The Planning Commission may add or modify any conditions of approval, prior to
granting the Time Extension, to ensure the project remains consistent with updated
ordinances and policy. Staff is not recommending any modifications with this time
extension.
Map History:
Approval Expiration
Original Approval August 9, 2005 August 9, 2007
Time Extension August 9, 2007 August 9, 2008
Second Extension August 9, 2008 August 9, 2009
CONCLUSION:
The City Council found the proposed subdivision map, as conditioned, is consistent with
the 2002 General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and the lot configurations are consistent
with the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. Staff recommends the Planning
Commission approve the second Time Extension as requested.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may approve the second Time Extension subject to additional or
revised project conditions.
2. The Commission may deny the second Time Extension if it is found to be
inconsistent with the General Plan or any of the other required findings. The
Commission's motion to deny must include a finding basis for denial.
3. The Commission may continue the hearing and refer the item back to staff for
additional information or analysis. Direction should be given to staff and the
applicant on required information.

Phase I
On May 3, 2005, the City of Atascadero Planning Commission approved the Phase I,
Tentative Tract Map 2003-0039, to allow 43 residential units on 2 common lots and a
single-family residential parcel of existing record. The project was updated to include
Phases II and III to include additional 92 residential units. Phases II and III were
approved as Tentative Tract Map 2004-0064 on May 3, 2005. The combined total
number of residential units is 135. On March 6, 2007, the applicant applied for and was
granted a one-year Time Extension. The new expiration date is May 3, 2008. The
applicant has applied for an additional one-year Time Extension for the project prior to
this expiration date.
Analysis:
The Subdivision Map Act mandates an initial two-year life and, by local ordinance, the
City can extend initial life up to an additional 12 months. Additionally, the City may
extend the time at which the map expires for a period or periods not to exceed a total of
five years. The application for the extension must be filed prior to the expiration date.
The Planning Commission has discretion on whether they want to extend the map, or
they can defer the decision to the City Council.
The Planning Commission may add or modify any conditions of approval, prior to
granting the Time Extension, to ensure the project remains consistent with updated
ordinances and policy. Staff is not recommending any modifications with this Time
Extension.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed Amendment remains consistent with the following General Plan Land Use
and Housing Element Policies:
Land Use Policy 1.1: "Preserve the rural atmosphere of the community and assure
"elbow room" in areas designed for lower density development by guiding new
development into the Urban Core to conform to the historic Colony land use patterns of
the City and to respect the natural environment, hillside area and existing
neighborhoods".
Land Use Program 1.1.7: "Within the Urban Core encourage infill development or
revitalization or reuse of land already committed to urban development where utilities
and public services exist.
Land Use Policy 2.1.5: Supports attached multi -family developments on prime multi-
family sites throughout the City. Based on qualifying factors set forth in the General
Plan, this site qualifies for prime multi -family status.

The proposed subdivision map, as conditioned, is consistent with the 2002 General Plan
and Zoning Ordinance and the lot configurations are consistent with the requirements of
the Subdivision Ordinance for an air space condominium subdivision. Staff recommends
the Planning Commission approve the Time Extension as requested.

(Shannon)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommends:
Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC 2008-0040 to approve Amendments to the
West Front Village Master Plan of Development based on findings and subject to
amended exhibits.
REPORT -IN -BRIEF:
The proposed project consists of an application for a Conditional Use Permit (Master
Plan of Development) Amendment to the approved Gas Station/Fast Food with Drive-
through building within the commercial portion of the West Front Village development.
The amendment includes separating the approved combined gas station/fast food
with drive-through building into two, separate buildings. Specifically, the project
amends Exhibit B: Master Plan of Development, Exhibit F: Schematic Landscape
Plan, and Exhibit G: Architectural Elevations. No modifications to the uses or
Conditions of Approval are being requested.

Overlay #23
Consistent with the previously certified
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the West
Front Village Development
On September 27, 2005, the City Council approved a Master Plan of Development and
Mitigated Negative Declaration for Planned Development #23 to allow General Plan
Amendment, Zone Map Change, establishment of a Planned Development Overlay
Zone with a corresponding Master Plan of Development (CUP), and a Vesting Tentative
Tract Map that would allow a commercial and residential development on a 13.35 -acre
site.
The approved project included a Hotel, restaurant pad, and a combined gas station/fast
food with drive-through building at the northwest corner of the site on West Front and
Portola Road. Due to tenant needs, the applicant is requesting that the components of
the project involving the approved gas station and fast food restaurant with drive-
through, be separated into individual buildings.
This requested modification will result in minor amendments to the site plan and
landscape plan of the approved project as well as architectural detailing for the
proposed gas station and fast food restaurant buildings. To date, the hotel has been
constructed and operational. The project has received a subdivision improvement
permit to allow grading and installation of site improvements. That permit is currently
active.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Amendment includes adjustments to the site plan, building architecture,
and corresponding landscape plan. The elevations remain compatible with the
previously approved Master Plan of Development. The originally approved gas
station/fast food with drive-through building totaled 5,000 square feet and included 4
gas pumps and a drive-through facility. The proposed separated buildings total 3,766
ITEM NUMBER: 4
DATE: sz_r%_nsz
square feet (2,512 SF of fast food restaurant and 1,254 SF of gas station), and 4 gas
pumps. The currently approved drive-through facility remains as part of the fast food
restaurant and is located in the same location as previously approved.
Architectural Design:
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that the proposed building architecture is
compatible with the existing Hotel building, and is consistent with the originally approved
concept elevations adopted as part of the Master Plan of Development.
The proposed separated buildings include arched recesses and entry features, brick
veneer accents, awnings, tiled roof elements, and decorative cornice treatments. In
addition, the proposed fast food building has been designed to provide outdoor seating
areas for patrons.
Site Plan/Landscaping:
The proposed project maintains the currently approved access points and wetland
areas, and the location of the drive-through facility is unaltered.

The proposed site plan will result in the provision of 152 total parking spaces (including
the shared hotel site parking) consistent with the approved Master Plan of
Development. Parking lot landscaping has been reviewed and is consistent with City
requirements for landscape coverage. Shade trees will be provided within landscape
planters, parking fingers, and tree wells.
Signage:
The proposed separated gas station building has two building signs, one facing the
pump islands at the front entry of the building, and one facing West Front Rd. In
addition, signage is proposed for the gas station canopy. The building signs are
conditioned to meet the maximum sizes prescribed by the previously approved Master
Plan of Development, and the canopy signs are conditioned to comply with the
Atascadero Municipal Code canopy sign provisions.
The fast food building is proposed to have 3 building signs, each a total of 25 square
feet. Conditions of Approval have been added to ensure that signage does not exceed
this proposed amount.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed amendments remain consistent with the previously approved Master Plan
of Development and remain consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
The proposed application requests modifications to the proposed site plan and building
elevations, separating the facilities for the approved fast food restaurant/gas station
uses.
Proposed Environmental Determination
The Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project was certified by the City
Council on September 27, 2005. The current proposed Amendments are minor in
nature and do not intensify the use or create any additional impacts. Staff recommends
the Planning Commission find that the project is consistent with the previously certified
environmental document.
Conclusion
The proposed Master Plan of Development Amendments are consistent with the
General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance, including applicable provisions of the Planned
Development #23 Overlay Zone. The proposed modifications to the site will allow
separate facilities for an approved gas station and fast food restaurant and
corresponding site and landscape adjustments. The proposed architecture is consistent
with the architectural concepts of the approved Master Plan of Development and the
recently constructed Hotel.

ALTERNATIVES
1. The Commission may require modifications to the site plan.
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 amendments. The Commission should
specify the reasons for denial of the project and recommend an associated
finding with such action. If the proposed amendment is denied, the original
Master Plan of Development will remain in effect for a combined gas station/fast
food restaurant.
