5. Site Area: 1.516 acres
6. Existing Use: Residence
7. Environmental Status: Mitigated Negative Declaration 2005-0005
DISCUSSION:
Background:
An application was received from Steve Alvarez to consider a project consisting of a
Zone Change from RSF-X (Residential Single -Family) to RSF-X/PD-17 (Residential
Single -Family with Planned Development Overlay #17) with an adoption of a Master
Plan of Development, and a seven -lot residential Tentative Tract Map on APN: 049-311-
003. It was adopted April 12, 2005.
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 use
discretionary extensions to extend the time at which the map expires for a period(s) 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 to extend the
map, or to 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.

Approval Expiration
Original Approval April 12, 2005 April 12, 2007
Time Extension 1 Applied 3/26/07 May 15, 2007 April 12, 2008
CONCLUSION:
At the time of approval, the City Council found the proposed subdivision map, as
conditioned, consistent with the 2002 General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and the lot
configurations consistent with the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. Staff
recommends the Planning Commission approve the Time Extension as requested.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may approve the Time Extension subject to additional or revised
project conditions.
2. The Commission may deny the 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.

(PM -10) as contained in sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 of the April 2003 Air
Quality Handbook.
■ Asbestos has been identified by the state Air Resources Board
as a toxic air contaminant. Serpentine and ultramafic rocks are
very common in the state and may contain naturally occurring
asbestos. Under the State Air Resources Board Air Toxics
Control Measure (ATCM) for Construction, Grading, Quarrying,
and Surface Mining Operations, prior to any grading activities at
the site, the project proponent shall ensure that a geologic
evaluation is conducted to determine if naturally occurring
asbestos is present within the area that will be disturbed. If
Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) is found at the site the
applicant must comply with all requirements outlined in the
Asbestos ATCM for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and
Surface Mining Operations. . If NOA is not present, an
exemption request must be filed with the District. If NOA is
found at the site the applicant must comply with all requirements
outlined in the Asbestos ATCM. This may include development
of an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan and an Asbestos Health
and Safety Program for approval by the APCD. Should Naturally
Occurring Asbestos be identified within the area of construction,
and the worked area will be less than or equal to one acre, then
the dust control measures identified below are required. If the
disturbed area is greater than one acre, additional requirements
may include but are not limited to 1) an Asbestos Dust
Mitigation Plan which must be approved by the District before
construction begins, and 2) an Asbestos Health and Safety
Program will also be required for some projects.
■ Dust Control Measures for Construction and Grading Operation
Projects One Acre or Less: No person shall engage in any
construction or grading operation on property where the area to
be disturbed is one (1.0) acre or less unless all of the following
dust mitigation measures are initiated at the start and
maintained throughout the duration of the construction or
grading activity:
(A) Construction vehicle speed at the work site must be limited
to fifteen (15) miles per hour or less;
(B) Prior to any ground disturbance, sufficient water must be
applied to the area to be disturbed to prevent visible
emissions from crossing the property line;
(C) Areas to be graded or excavated must be kept adequately
wetted to prevent visible emissions from crossing the
property line;

Amendment to the Building Envelope on Lot 14 of
Tentative Tract Map 1982-0013 (Tract 1382), PLN 2006-1137
10900 Vista Road
(Mathews)
SUBJECT:
The project consists of a proposal to amend the location of the building envelope on lot
14 of Tract 1382 on Vista Road. A single-family residence is proposed to be located
approximately 600 feet from the building envelope which was originally approved with
Tentative Tract Map 1982-0013. Native trees are proposed for removal, including one
38 -inch Live Oak and nine 4 to 6 -inch Live Oaks and Scrub Oaks.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC 2007-0042, certifying
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2007-0004, approving an amendment to the
location of the building envelope on lot 14 of Tract 1382, and approving the removal of
one 38 -inch Live Oak and nine 4-6 inch Live Oaks and Scrub Oaks, based on findings
and subject to conditions.
SITUATION AND FACTS:
1. Applicant/Owners: Larry and Ann Mathews, 5952 Bellingham Dr. Castro
Valley, CA 94552
2. Project Address: 10900 Vista Road, Atascadero, CA 93422
APN: 055-161-030
3. General Plan Designation: Rural Estate
4. Zoning District: Residential Suburban — Planned Development 2
5. Site Area: 8.8 acre
6. Existing Use: Vacant site
7. Environmental Status: Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2007-0004
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The property is located on Lot 14 of Tract 1382. The site is accessed from Vista Road
and is located between San Marcos Road and Highway 41.
Tentative Tract Map 1982-0013 was approved in 1990 as a Planned Development #2
Overlay. The Tract Map and Planned Development Overlay requires that lots be
established with consideration for physical features and site characteristics.
Building envelopes were included in order to identify suitable building sites on the
steeply sloped terrain of the area. A final building site map showing the selected
building sites and slopes was included with the TTM on file with the Community
Development Department.

The following are Conditions of Approval of the Tentative Tract Map:
9. A plan delineating a feasible building site or sites for each lot
in compliance with the following shall be submitted to the Plan-
ning Department prior to recordation of any Final Map:
a. Building sites shall generally be limited to areas of .20%
grade or less, for conventional slab -on -grade construction.
b. Building sites shall conform to setback requirements of the
zoning and building ordinances, including those required for
private sewage disposal systems.
C. Building sites shall contain sufficient area for private sew-
age disposal systems, including expansion area.
d. Building sites shall be accessible by driveways with less
than 20% grade.
e. A minimum of one such building site in conformance with the
above, as well as other conditions set forth in this approv-
al, shall be available on each proposed lot. If a site is
not available, the lot design may be required to be revised
to provide one.•
f. The following Note shall appear on the Final Map:
"A plan delineating a feasible building site for each lot is
on file in the Planning Department. Construction may be
limited to these sites by the Planning Department when re-
viewing individual building permit applications."
10. Efforts shall be made to minimize grading that would be disruptive
to the natural topography and removal of existing mature trees.
The following shall appear as a Note on the Final Map:
"No trees shall be removed without compliance with applicable City
ordinances. No grading shall commence without an appropriate per-
mit and compliance with applicable City ordinances. No cuts shall
be made which exceed five (5) feet in height, unless authorized by
the Planning Director."
11. All grading shall conform to Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building
Code. All cut and fill slopes shall be adequate to allow for
establishment of vegetation. Particular attention shall be given
to drainage control in conjunction with any grading.
12. Development of lots located within identified oak woodland areas
shall be given particular attention to minimizing unnecessary tree
removal.
Analysis:
An Amendment is being proposed on lot 14 to approve an alternative building site
location approximately 600 feet west of the approved building envelope. The approved
building envelope on lot 14 is located on slopes of 27% at approximately 100 -feet from
Vista Road. The approved building site would require cut & fill to create building pad on
the steeply sloped site; however, the close proximity to Vista Road eliminates the need
for a long accessway.
Previous construction within this tract has adhered to the approved building envelopes,
most of which are located adjacent to Vista Road. The distance requested from the
approved envelope and additional grading required to access the proposed building site
requires Planning Commission approval.
The applicant has proposed a single family residence to be located towards the center
of the 8.8 acre site. The proposed residence and accessway will require 3,610 cubic
yards of cut and 3,610 cubic yards of fill, with a maximum cut of 11 feet and maximum
fill of 14 feet. The project includes 580 lineal feet of retaining wall for the 700 foot long
driveway. The driveway crosses a drainage swale which requires 163 lineal feet of 24 -
inch HDPE storm drain. Grading and fill will be necessary around the drainage swale,
and will require the removal of one 38 -inch Live Oak. The swale is not identified as a
Blue Line Creek. The project has been conditioned to include a landscape plan with
drought tolerant native species and an irrigation system to be submitted with building
permits in order to revegetate the drainage swale and disturbed slopes (Mitigation
6.b.2.)
The project site can be accessed by a partially graded dirt road. According to the
applicant, the road was recently graded to obtain percolation tests for the site. The
grading was not permitted; however, the applicant has worked with the City's Public
Works department to install erosion control until building permits can be obtained.
Justification letters for the proposed building envelope have been provided by the
project architect, engineer, contractor, septic designer, and the original engineer on the
Tract Map in order to justifiy the new building site location. The letters have been
included in Attachment 4.
If the Amendment is approved, a new building envelope will be created to encompass
the proposed footprint and graded building pad area. The new envelope shall be kept
on file with the Community Development Department and shall replace the previously
approved envelope on this lot only (Condition #6.)
Tree Removals:
Driveway Area
Ten native trees are proposed for removal with the construction for the proposed
residence and accessway. Proposed removals include one 38 -inch Live Oak and 9
smaller Live Oaks and Scrub Oaks ranging in size from 4 to 6 -inches. The 38 -inch live
oak is located in the drainage swale. Cut and fill for the driveway crossing at the
drainage swale requires removal of the tree. The smaller oaks are located along Vista
Road at the beginning of the driveway and in the location of the proposed building pad.
An arborist report has been provided with further details (Attachment 3.)
Environmental Review:
A proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project in
accordance with the requirements of CEQA.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed amendment and tree removals, as conditioned, are consistent with the
2002 General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends the Planning
Commission approve the amendment to the building envelope on lot 14 of Tract 1382
and the proposed tree removals as conditioned.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may approve the map with modified project conditions.
2. 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.
3. The Commission may deny the map 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.

10800 Vista Road Project ,VEJOPMENT
The following tree protection plan is in regard to the new home and driveway located at
the above named address. This area was previously burned during the Highway 41 fire
about a dozen years ago. Many of the native shrubs have recovered and have sprouted
out of the remaining trunks. There are many scrub oaks (Quercus dumosa Jeps.) and a
few coast live oaks (Quercus agrijolia) on the property that are either impacted or have to
be removed for the driveway and house pad. Some small scrub oaks were recently
damaged during access for percolation testing. They are in the proposed driveway and
will be removals. Several other trees exist within the house pad that will have to be
removed. The largest tree on the site is tree #7, a 38 inch live oak located in the swale
below the proposed driveway. The main concern is whether the fill will impact the tree.
The branches are low to the ground and some pruning may be necessary prior to any
grading. In addition, any fill must be limited to no more than 30% of the entire drip line
of this tree. No fill can be placed against the trunk. On the grading plans, some brush
clearing was called for north of the home. Keep in mind, tree #15 is adjacent to this area
and that tree is to be saved. Monitoring will be necessary after initial grading is complete
to inspect the fill impacts to tree #7 and to insure other saved trees were not damaged.
With the exception of tree #7, the other trees are small multi stemmed and can be easily
missed within the other dense brush. The total number of trees being proposed for
removal is 8 with a total diameter of 40 inches.
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:
Ratine Condition
I
Deceased
1 Evidence of massive past failures, extreme disease 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 contractoi,,.) shall take place prior to work start. "Ins activity shall be
monitored by the arborist(s) to insure proper root pruning is talking place. There is no
trenching within the drip lines on the plans. Any changes will require arborist approval.
5. Grading Within The Drip Line: Grading should not encroach 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. No drip line impacts are proposed for the driveway at this time.
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 bulleted 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
• post grading inspection
12. Pre -Construction Meeting: An on-site pre -construction 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 ..divity 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 4 pruning includes -Crown reduction pruning 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 he 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. 1vlycorrhiza offers several benefits to the host plant,
including faster ,g=rowth, 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 (45), 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 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.

Re: Proposed alternate site location for house on
Lot 14, tract 1382, at 10900 Vista road,
APN: 055-161030, Atascadero, California.
Attn: Warren Frace, Community Development Director
Cc: Steve McHarris, Callie Ford, harry Mathews, Ann Shapira -Mathews
It has been brought to my attention that during the mapping stages of Tract 138.2,
"feasible building sites" on the lots were identified. Per condition #3 of the tract map,
"construction may be limited to these sites by the planning department when reviewing
individual building permit applications." According to tentative tract map condition of
approval #9, these feasible building sites must be in compliance with the following:
a. Building sites shall generally be limited to areas of 20%6 grade or less, for
conventional slab -on -grade construction.
b. Building sites shall conforms to setback requirements of the zoning and
building ordinances, including those required for private sewage disposal
systems.
c. Building sites shall contain sufficient area for private sewage disposal
systems, including expansion area.
d. Building sites shall be accessible by driveways with less than 20% grade.
e. A minimum of one such building site in conformance with the above, as well
as other conditions set forth in this approval shall be available on each
proposed lot. If a site is not available, the lot design maybe required to be
revised to provide one.
f The following note shall appear on the Final Map:
"A plan delineating a feasible building site for each lot is on file in the
Planning Department. Construction may be limited to these sites by the
Planning Department when reviewing individual building permit
applications."
The tract map provides an approved building envelope for Lot 14 on a 27% slope, in
a circular area roughly 120 feet in diameter. Approximately 20% of this area encroaches
onto the neighboring lot. Much of the remaining area is in close proximity or within setback
lines. According to our consultant reports and recommendations, the entire property contains
roughly the same soils and percolation rates. Given no preference in soils, the steep nature of
the approved building envelope would make it a challenge to design an effective sewer
system. The approved site appears to be in non-compliance with the conditions of approval
for approved building sites.
In contrast to the provided feasible site, our proposed site maintains and is in
compliance with the cities conditions for a feasible site. We have provided consultant reports

and letters of evidence in support of our proposed site and its compliance with the conditions
of the tract. Our proposed site is on the only portion of the lot with a slope of 20% or less.
This allows for siab-on-grade construction and much smaller retaining structures for the
house. The planning department has previously been in contact with the client regarding un -
permitted road grading that has taken place on the site. This access road was cut by a
consultant hired by the soils engineer without the architect or clients knowledge. The
contractor has since responded to and complied with all requests for erosion control measures
by the city and specifically the department of public works. The driveway for the proposed
site would require more grading than the pre -approved building site, however the steepest
part of the driveway would exist regardless since the pre -approved building site sits atop the
steepest portion of the site to access.
Based on the characteristics of the two sites, the findings of our consultants and the
language of the tract map as it has been described to us by the original engineer of record, we
believe the proposed site location for the construction of the new residence complies with
previous tract conditions and is the optimal building location on the lot. We respectfully
request that the planning department approve the proposed site location or please respond in
writing by March 19, 2007 as to; a) Why the planning staff has refused to review alternative
site locations for this lot, and b) Why a tract map amendment is being required for the
proposed site.

Consideration of alternate building site.
Dear City Officials,
When considering the request for an alternal:e building site, please keep in mind the following:
Disadvantages to site near the street:
Due to the steepiiess of the lot t,.,a1 this location, drainage will be very difficult
Septic tank location & percolation will be extremely difficult
Extensive grading & very large, prominent retaining walls will be required
Visual impact to neighbors, streetscape & possibly Highway 41 much more noticeable
Advantages to alternate site:
Less visual impact to neighbors & streetscape
More natural fit for the lot, less grading for house pad, no large retaining wall
Better location & percolation for septic
Better drainage
Thank- you for yow cooperation..

Dear Mr. Boriack:
I was asked to prepare a preliminary evaluation of a building site on Lot 14 of Panorama Oaks Estates It.
It is my understanding that during the mapping stages of the Tract Map, that feasible building sites were
identified. These sites were filed with the City Planning Department..
The intent was to identify areas which would conform to certain criteria, such as the following items
• Building setbacks from property lines.
Areas generally of 20% or less in grade.
• Sites would also be able to have adequate area for septic systems including expansion
areas.
Driveway grades should also be less than 20%.
• Efforts shall be made to minimize grading that would be disruptive to the natural
topography.
The items listed above are good general criteria to use in siting structures on sites. We tend to go a little
further before we identify alternatives for clients. We like to have Soils Engineering and Geology input as
well as determining, the better sites for the more critical portions of the work. An item I review is the
suitability of the building pad. Space the most critical area on the site is the location of the building, we
would like the pads to receive the most scrutiny.
The location that was identified as a feasible site on the exhibit on file by the City for Lot 14 was given to
us by your office. In our review of this site we have determined the following:
• The site itself is steeper than 20%.
• The site is very close to the property line (with some of it inside the setback lines).
• The steep site is a challenge for establishing a sewer system on it.
Other residential building sites on lot 14 were reviewed for feasibility of construction. We currently have
been focusing on a different building site on the property, The location is much flatter and has been
reviewed for both Soils and Geology considerations. Percolation tests have also been performed. The
driveway will require more grading, but since I consider the building pad as more critical area, I am
willing to consider additional grading to get to a superior site.
ATTACHMENT 4: Letter regarding alternative building site suitability:
Westland Engineering
Since the staff report indicated that the sites listed were only feasible sites I believe that other locations for
the residences can be reviewed. This new site appears to be better when using the criteria listed by the
City as important and I would recommend it as superior site on Lot 14.

Subject: Proposed Alternate House Site
Lot 14, Vista Road, APN: 055-161-030
Atascadero Area, San Luis Obispo County, California
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Matthews:
This letter has been prepared for the proposed
alternate house site for a single-family residence
with private wastewater disposal system to be
located at Lot 14, Vista Road, APN: 055-161-
030, Atascadero area, San Luis Obispo County,
California. The purpose of this letter is to
confirm the alternate development area is
suitable for development from a soils
engineering stand point. The alternate
development area will hereafter be referred to as
the "Site."
Lot 14 is irregular in shape and 9.21 acres iia
size. The property is accessed from Vista Road,
located in the northeasterly portion of the
property. See Figure 1: Site location Map.

Figure 1: Site Location Map
The proposed Site is situated on the south end of the property, on top of a knoll with an
increasing down-slope from the proposed building area, descending towards the south and
northeast. The gradient in the area of the proposed alternate building site is generally level with
relatively steep slopes to the south and northeast. The previously identified building envelope is
located adjacent to Vista Road alon.- the northern property boundary, See Figure 2: Site Plan.
In the area of the proposed alternate Site, weathered bedrock of the Atascadero Formation was
encountered approximately 3 to 4 feet below the existing grade in most areas. Given the less
severe slopes tit the proposed alternate building Site the residence could be constructed by either
placing continuous footings founded into uniform competent bedrock or by conventional
grading operations that utilize key and bench construction when preparing the building pad.

The geotechnical conditions at the previously identified building site are very similar to the
alternate Site with weathered bedrock of the Atascadero Formation encountered approximately 3
to 4 feet below the existing grade in most areas. However, given the more severe slopes at the
existing approved building envelope it is assumed the construction of building foundations
would require a greater disturbance during grading operations.
Geotechnically, either location is suitable for the proposed development. However, based on the
amount of disturbance required to develop the approved site we recommend that the single-
family residence be built on the proposed alternate Site.

Specific Plan Amendment (SFR- 2)
Halcon Road
PLN -2099-0079, Amendment to ZCH 2003-0041
(Trimark)
SUBJECT:
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment consists of a request to add two additional
SFR -2 house plans with six additional elevations, and clarification on appearance of
exterior stucco finish applications.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission:
Adopt PC Resolution 2007-0005 to amend the Woodlands Specific Plan (SP -1 of
Zone Change 2003-0041) to add two new SFR -2 single-family plans, and add a
condition of approval to require a light sand finish to all future SFR -2 exterior
stucco applications, based on findings and subject to conditions of approval.
SITUATION AND FACTS:
1. Applicant / Representative: Trimark Pacific Homes, L.P.
3130 W. Main Street, Suite A-2, Visalia, CA 93291
2. Project Address: Halcon Road, Atascadero, CA 93422. APN(s): 045-311-
001, 045-401-015, 045-401-016, 045-411-001, 045-
412-001.
3. General Plan Designation: (SFR -X) Single -Family Residential -X
4. Zoning District: (SP -1) Specific Plan #1
5. Site Area: 220 acres (Originally the Woodlands project site)
6. Existing Use: Under development
7. Environmental Status: Statutorily Exempt
DISCUSSION:
Background
On October 14, 2003, the City Council approved Specific Plan #1 for the Woodlands
project. The Specific Plan outlines the process for development of a 272 -unit
residential subdivision and associated improvements. The project site is currently
under construction within the "Las Lomas" development.
The project developer sold a portion of the project (SFR -2 zone) to Trimark Pacific
Homes. The SFR -2 zone contained 3 home plans, each with 3 different design
elevations for a total of 9 elevations. Trimark Pacific Homes is requesting a Specific
Plan Amendment to add two, new home floor -plans, each with 3 different design
elevations. In addition, existing homes have been finished with a rough stucco "knock-
down" finish that is inconsistent with the approved smooth stucco finish identified on the
building plans. The applicant and staff have agreed to have the Planning Commission
consider a light sand stucco finish for all future applications.
During February 6, 2007 Planning Commission's meeting this item was discussed and
continued. The Commission's discussion regarding this item was as follows:
1. Identify all 3 -car garage elevations with improved architectural quality garage
doors. The proposed units are inconsistent with and architecturally inferior to the
original plans, especially the 3 -car garage elevations. The garage should not be
the predominant focal point of the home.
2. Plan # 5's garage extends further than the front of the house, which is
inconsistent with the design of the other approved homes.
ANALYSIS
Since the last meeting, the applicant has resubmitted a revised floor plan # 4 as shown
in Exhibit A of the Draft Resolution.
Staff has reviewed each of the new proposed elevations and is of the opinion that the
additional plans and elevations are consistent with the original specific plan approval.
Staff notes that the applicant had originally requested a 3 -car garage option (Plan 4);
however, staff discouraged this option as the third garage door and additional driveway
width is inconsistent with the original specific house plan designs and elevations. In
order to maintain variation throughout the subdivision, a condition has been included
requiring the applicant to use no more than 20 percent of any particular home plan or
elevation, and that no two same elevations be placed side by side. In addition, an
overall placement plan for each floor plan and elevation shall be approved by staff prior
to implementation (Condition 1).
Staff's response to the Commission's concern is as follows:
1. Identify all 3 -car garage elevations with improved architectural quality garage
doors. The proposed units are inconsistent with and architecturally inferior to the
original plans, especially the 3 -car garage elevations. The garage should not be
the dominant focal point of the home.
Staff added condition 4 to the resolution's conditions of approval to address this
issue. The revised plan 4 has blended the three car garage option into the front
elevation as to make it less noticeable. By this action and changing the quality of
garage doors the architectural quality of the home has been improved. The
revised plan 4 has offset the 3rd car garage to make it significantly less noticeable
from the front elevation.
2. Plan # 5's garage extends further than the front of the house, which is
inconsistent with the design of other approved homes.
The applicant believes Plan # 5 meets the intent of the Specific Plan and is
consistent with the existing and proposed architectural designs. No changes
have been made.

PLAN 5 FRONT ELEVATION 'C'
Lastly, staff has reviewed the proposed light sand stucco finish and which is consistent
with the approved building plans. For clarification, a condition of approval has been
included to identify light sand -finish as the approved stucco finish within the SFR -2
residential area (Condition 2).
CONCLUSION:
The proposed request is consistent with the adopted Specific Plan and provides
additional variety and improved appearance throughout the development. Staff is
recommending that the request be approved, as conditioned.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning Commission may add conditions to the proposed request.
2. The Planning Commission may continue the hearing and refer the project back to
staff for further analysis. Direction should be given to staff and the applicant on
required additional information.
3. The Planning Commission may deny the request.

REPORT -IN -BRIEF:
The proposed project consists of a Zone Map Amendment to establish a Planned
Development Overlay Zone #17 on the subject site with a corresponding Master Plan of
Development (CUP) and vesting Tentative Tract Map that would allow a 7 -unit
residential Planned Development. The project site is currently developed with a single-
family residence that is proposed to be demolished.
DISCUSSION:
Situation and Facts:
1. Owner/ Applicant: Royce Eddings, 10780 Vista Road
Atascadero, CA 93422
2. Project Address: 8570 EI Corte (APN 030-421-005) (San Luis Obispo
County).
3. General Plan Designation: SFR (Single -Family Residential)
4. Zoning District: RSF-X (Residential Single-family - X)
5. Site Area: 2.036 acres
6. Existing Use: Single -Family Residence
7. Environmental Status: Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2006-0031
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: 5-11 _W
Background
On December 19, 2006 the applicant presented this project to Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council deny the project
on a 4-2 vote citing density and neighborhood compatibility concerns. Rather than move
forward to City Council with a negative recommendation, the applicant has chosen to
redesign the project to include less units and reduce impacts to the riparian area. The
applicant is now proposing 7 units where 10 were originally proposed.
The Planning Commission is being asked to make a recommendation to City Council
based on the revised project as analyzed below.
Surrounding Land Use and Setting:
North: Residential Single -Family - X East. Residential Multi -Family - 10
South: Recreation (Golf Course) West: Residential Single -Family - X
The project site is within the Residential Single -Family General Plan Land Use
Designation and is zoned Residential Single -Family -X (0.5 acre minimum lot size),
which allows for a maximum density of 4 units per acre with the establishment of a PD
Overlay Zone. The surrounding neighborhood is developed with single-family
developments. The adjacent development, Chalk Mountain Village, contains higher
density small lot single-family homes and open space areas.
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: 5-11 _n7
ANALYSIS:
The proposed site plan has been designed to meet the minimum requirements of the
Atascadero Municipal Code and the appearance review requirements of the General
Plan. 7 detached single-family residences are proposed for the site, ranging from 2681
to 2922 square -feet with attached two -car garages. The units along the riparian area
have been designed to incorporate stem wall construction, minimizing impacts to the
adjacent willows and identified wetland.
As a Planned Development, the Planning Commission must find the project provides
high quality architectural, landscape, and site design to warrant the granting of special
development standards.
Appearance Review
Site Plan, Circulation, and Parking
The proposed project includes 7 detached single-family residences arranged around a
common cul-de-sac that gains access from EI Corte Road. Each unit has a two -car
garage and additional guest parking is provided within the driveway of each lot.
There is existing riparian vegetation and an identified wetland area located along the La
Linia frontage. The applicant's biologist has reviewed the proposed plans and has
determined that there will be no significant impacts to the riparian and/or wetland
vegetation with the mitigation measures as identified. The only potential impacts to the
existing vegetation would occur from the installation of the pedestrian connection to La
Linia Ave. Any removals will be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1 as recommended by the
project biologist (Mitigation Measure 4.b.1).
There is an existing mature cottonwood tree located along the La Linia frontage. The
tree has been determined to be in declining health by the project arborist. This is a
significant tree that contributes to the overall health of the riparian area. The applicant is
proposing to keep this tree within the development and staff has conditioned that the
measures recommended by the project arborist be implemented to ensure the
continued health of the tree (Mitigation Measure4.b.2).
Staff has conditioned that the project implement all measures as recommended by the
project biologist and arborist.
Public/Subdivision Improvements
Frontage improvements will be constructed along the EI Corte and La Linia rights-of-
way. Due to existing drainage improvements and the location of the existing drainage
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: 5-11 _n7
and wetland areas along the La Linia frontage, staff is recommending that the project
construct modified frontage improvements as conditioned.
The City Engineer is requesting that the applicant construct curb, gutter, and sidewalk
along the EI Corte frontage and around the proposed cul-de-sac. A sidewalk will be
provided linking the cul-de-sac to La Linia Road allowing for a pedestrian link between
EI Corte and La Linia while avoiding unnecessary impacts to the existing riparian
vegetation that would be caused by the construction of a sidewalk along La Linia Road.
The project has been conditioned to provide these improvements as proposed.
Architecture, Materials, and Color
According to the applicant, the proposed units are designed with Tuscan -Mediterranean
elements including stucco siding, round entry features, shuttered windows, and tile
roofs. The architecture is consistent with the originally proposed architectural style
reviewed during the December Planning Commission hearing.
Landscape Design
The preliminary Landscape Plan has been designed to complete the EI Corte Street
frontage and mitigate impacts to the existing riparian area. Proposed landscaping
includes drought tolerant shrubs and accent plants. Street trees will be provided along
all street frontages. Project fencing includes a combination of solid and transparent
fencing designs.
Native Tree Mitiaation/Preservation
The applicant is proposing to remove 1 native oak tree measuring 10" dbh for
construction of the proposed units. The applicant has redesigned the project to maintain
the existing willow mass along the drainage. A few willows may require removal for
construction of the pedestrian pathway from La Linia to EI Corte. Although willows are
not under the purview of the Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance, staff has conditioned
that, should this be necessary, the willows be replaced at a ratio of 3:1.
The project site has also been redesigned with less impact on the existing cottonwood
tree. The applicant is conditioned to implement all measures recommended by the
arborist to ensure survival of the riparian tree.
Site Drainage
Historically, the site drains toward the La Linia Road frontage where the riparian and
wetland vegetation currently exists. The project is designed to direct site -generated
flows to the cul-de-sac and out to the EI Corte right-of-way and to the existing drainage
along La Linia. Historic flows from the neighboring parcels located up -hill from the
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: 5-11 _n7
proposed development will be captured in a basin at the north-west corner of the project
site and conveyed by an open dry creek Swale to the existing drainage Swale.
Wastewater
Sanitary sewer will be connected to existing sewer facilities in EI Corte Road.
Fiscal Impact
Based on findings from the Taussig Study, revenue from new residential development
including property tax revenues, vehicle licensing fees, sales taxes, and other revenues
are insufficient to cover the maintenance and emergency services costs of new
development. Based on the revenue projections from the Taussig Study, the City has
developed standard conditions of approval for new development projects that require
the cost of maintenance and emergency services to be funded by the project through a
combination of road assessment districts, landscape and lighting districts and
community facilities districts (Conditions CUP 18 and 19/ TTM 8 and 9).
Inclusionary and Workforce Housing
The City Council has implemented an interim Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program
to include a fixed percentage of units within residential developments that require a
legislative approval to be reserved as deed restricted affordable units or for an in -lieu
fee to be paid. The project is conditioned to comply with this policy and has the option
of either deed restricting one unit at the moderate rate or paying in -lieu fees (Condition
CUP 13, 14/TTM 11, 12).
Project Benefits
One of the required findings for approval of a planned development rezone is the project
must "offer certain redeeming features to compensate for the requested modification".
The table shown below outlines the Council policy on Planned Development benefits. In
order to approve this project, the Planning Commission must find that the project offers
all of the tier 1 benefits to qualify for a Planned Development project.

Tentative Tract Map
A seven -lot Tentative Tract Map (TTM 2006-0082) is proposed as part of the project
consistent with the proposed Master Plan of Development and proposed PD -17
Overlay Zone. The Tract Map has been conditioned by staff and the City Engineer to
meet all City standards including on- and off-site street improvements. The applicant
will be required to record CC&R's with the map that will include maintenance and
access of common areas (Condition CUP 20/TTM 10).
General Plan Consistency
The proposed project is 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."
In staff's opinion the proposed project is consistent with the above identified goals and
policies of the Land Use Element and the Housing Element. The project will provide
seven single-family residential units within the single-family residential zone. As
conditioned, the project meets the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and
General Plan.
Findings
Planned Development Overlay
As specified in the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, the following specific
findings for the proposed Zone Change shall be made in order to approve the proposed
project:
1. The proposed Zone Change is in conformance with the adopted General Plan
goals, policies, and programs and the overall intent of the General Plan.
2. The proposed Zone Change is compatible with existing development,
neighborhoods and the environment.
3. The proposed Zone Change will not create any new significant and unavoidable
impacts to traffic, infrastructure, or public service impacts.
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: 5-11 _W
4. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the project -specific Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
Conditional Use Permit (Master Plan of Development)
A Master Plan of Development is required for the Planned Development in the form of a
Conditional Use Permit. The proposed Master Plan of Development sets development
standards related to architectural design, site design, landscape, signage, and specific
development standards required by the zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission
must make the following five findings to recommend approval of the proposed Master
Plan of Development:
1. The proposed project or use is consistent with the General Plan and the City's
Appearance Review Manual.
Staff Comment: The use is consistent with the General Commercial designation of
the General Plan and General Plan Land Use Element Policy 1.1 and 1.1.7.
2. The proposed project or use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Title (Zoning
Ordinance) including the Planned Development Ordinance.
Staff Comment: As conditioned, the project satisfies all Conditional Use Permit and
Planned Development zoning code provisions.
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 persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property
or improvements in the vicinity of the use.
Staff Comment: The proposed residential development will not be detrimental to the
general public or working person's health, safety, or welfare.
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 proposed project is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
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.
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: 5-11 _n7
Staff Comment: The proposed project and use is consistent with the traffic
projections and road improvements anticipated within the General Plan and as
proposed by the applicant.
Tree Removals
1. The tree is obstructing proposed improvements that cannot be reasonably
designed to avoid the need for tree removal, as certified by a report from the Site
Planner and determined by the Community Development Department based on
the following factors:
■ Early consultation with the City.
■ Consideration of practical design alternatives.
■ Provision of cost comparisons (from applicant) for practical design
alternatives.
■ If saving tree eliminates all reasonable uses of the property.
■ If saving the tree requires the removal of more desirable trees.
Proposed Environmental Determination
A revised Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated to public agencies and
interested members of the public on May 9, 2007. The Environmental Analysis
identified concerns regarding potential impacts to aesthetics, land use and planning,
noise, biological resources, and traffic. Mitigation measures pertaining to these
resources are included. A finding is proposed that this project would not have a
significant effect on the environment based upon the implementation of the identified
mitigation measures.
Conclusion
In staff's opinion, the proposed development meets the minimum requirements of the
General Plan and all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Mitigation
measures have been incorporated into the project related to impacts to existing native
and riparian vegetation. As analyzed within the project revised Initial Study and Draft
Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed Master Plan of Development would have
no significant environmental impacts and will not be detrimental to the general public or
working person's health, safety, or welfare. Based on staff's analysis in the preceding
sections, it appears all of the required findings for project approval can be made.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The Commission may recommend modifications to the project and/or conditions
of approval for the project to the City Council.
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: 5-11 _n7
2. The Commission may determine 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 required and move to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Commission may recommend the City Council deny the project. The parcel
would retain its designation of Residential Multi -family. The Commission should
specify the reasons for denial of the project and recommend an associated
finding with such action.

Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations. If NOA is
not present, an exemption request must be filed with the District. If NOA is
found at the site the applicant must comply with all requirements outlined in the
Asbestos ATCM. This may include development of an Asbestos Dust Mitigation
Plan and an Asbestos Health and Safety Program for approval by the APCD.
Should Naturally Occurring Asbestos be identified within the area of

During the past year, the Factory Outlets has undergone a change in ownership and
a change in market strategy. The Factory Outlets has changed their name to
Mission Oaks and has recently applied new architectural colors and design elements
to the existing buildings. Four new larger tenants are proposed to occupy the
center, including the Dollar Tree, Office Depot, Big 5, and Marshall's. As a result,
the applicant is requesting revisions to the sign program to meet the needs of these
larger tenants.
The sign program for the Factory Outlet Center was originally approved with CUP
04-1991. In September 2006, the revised sign program (Mission Oaks Sign
Program) was approved by Planning Commission. The amended sign program
allowed additional signage on the two existing freeway pylon signs and expanded
signage along the 101 freeway frontage. The sign program specified 24" maximum
letter height for single line signs, and a maximum total of 36" height for double line
signs.
In April of 2007, the sign program was amended through an Administrative Use
Permit to allow the Dollar Tree to construct a 36" single line sign. The Amendment
was processed as an AUP as the changes only applied to one sign for a tenant
which occupied over 10,000 square feet.

The current proposed Amendment to the Mission Oaks Sign Program is consistent
with the Dollar Tree Sign Amendment approved in April of 2007. The proposed
Amendment would allow up to four major tenants, with over 10,000 square feet of
floor area, to install single line signs at 36" in height. Currently, major tenants are
allowed multiple lines of copy with a maximum height of 24" per line. With several
larger tenants moving into the center, there is now a need for larger, single line signs
which can be clearly visible from Highway 101. Since these larger tenants are
replacing several smaller tenants, there will be fewer signs on the building.
The current Amendment also proposes three new signs along the EI Camino Real
street frontage. One monument sign is proposed at the parking lot entrance. Two
directional signs are proposed at the ends of the center, one to direct delivery trucks
to the loading dock, and one which lists the addresses of the tenants. All three
signs are conditioned to include landscaping at the base of the signs.

Section 9-15.001 outlines the following standards and intentions for the adopted sign
ordinance. Staff analysis follows each pertinent standard outlined in 9-15.001:
1. Maintain and improve the aesthetic environment and overall community
appearance to foster the City's ability to attract sources of economic
development and growth;
Staff comment: The Mission Oaks center has focused recent changes to the
fagade and marketing of the center on attracting larger scale tenants that provide
a sound economic base for the City. As tenant lease spaces grow, the number of
tenants reduces creating the need for combined and consolidated signage. The
four new major tenants propose to occupy at least 10,000 square -feet of the
existing tenant space each.
2. Encourage the effective use of signs as a means of communication in the City
and reduce possible traffic and safety hazards from confusing or distracting
signs;
Staff Comment: Larger tenants become the destination for many shoppers as
opposed to smaller businesses that rely on foot traffic once a shopper has
entered the center. Major tenant signage should be readable from the
surrounding adjacent streets to increase traffic safety and reduce adverse traffic
impacts. Directional signs and the monument sign on EI Camino Real will aid in
streamlining the traffic entering the center.
3. Implement quality sign design standards that are consistent with the City's
General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Appearance Review Guidelines;
Staff Comment: The larger sign height proposed is architecturally compatible with
the elevation design and is proportional to the location designated for the signs.
4. Minimize possible adverse impacts of signs on private and public property in
order to maintain property values and to maintain a positive City image;
Staff Comment: The proposed larger signs will be in the same locations as
shown in the master sign program for the Mission Oaks. The sign will be
architecturally compatible with the center and will not interfere with adjacent
properties.
5. Enhance traffic safety by ensuring that signage does not distract, obstruct or
otherwise impede traffic circulation and to safeguard and preserve the health,
property, and public welfare of Atascadero residents through prohibiting,
regulating, and controlling the density, location, and maintenance of signs;
The directional signs will help to direct trucks to the drop off area and identify
customer entry points.
ITEM NUMBER: 6
DATE: 5-15-07
CONCLUSION:
Staff believes the proposed Amendment is consistent with the original project
approval and the revised marketing of this retail center. Staff believes that the
Planning Commission can make the finding that the amended Master Sign Program
satisfies the requirements of the Atascadero Municipal Code.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may modify the proposed amended sign program or include
additional conditions.
2. The Commission may determine more information is needed on some aspect
of the proposed amendment 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 proposed sign program. The Commission
should specify the reasons for denial of the project and recommend an
associated finding with such action.

Front Yard Setback
3300 Falda Road
(Svedas)
SUBJECT:
The proposed projects consist of a request for a Variance to reduce the required
25 -foot front yard setback on a sloped site within the Residential Suburban Zone.

2007-0043 is attached to denying Variance 2007-0011 / PLN 2006-1161.
SITUATION AND FACTS:
1. Owner: Francis and Khay Svedas, PO Box 1275,
Atascadero, CA 93423
2. Applicant / Representative: James V Shepard Co, 1900 Spring Street, Paso

6. Existing Use: Vacant
7. Environmental Status: Mitigated Negative Declarations
DISCUSSION:
Project Summary
The proposed project consists of a Variance request to reduce the 25 -foot front yard
setback requirement of the Municipal Code for a single-family residence in the
Residential Suburban Zone. The residence is proposed to be located 10 feet from
the edge of the right-of-way, and 23 feet from back of pavement.
Analysis
The applicant is proposing to reduce the required 25 -foot front yard setback to 10
feet from the proposed residence. The residence would be located 10 feet from the
edge of the right-of-way, which is approximately 23 feet from the edge of the
pavement as the road is not paved to the full width of the right-of-way.
The site is steeply sloped near Falda Road and levels off as the site moves away
from the road. The slope under the proposed garage location ranges from 57% to
64%. The slope under the residence ranges from 34% to 57%. The average slope
on site is 24% (approximately). The septic is proposed to be located at the bottom of
the site where the slope is less steep.
The proposed residence will utilize a combination of stem wall construction and
graded pad. The applicant estimates that approximately 2250 cubic yards of fill will
be required to construct a flat pad for the lower portion of the house. The original
project submittal utilized stem wall construction of the entire structure, which only
required 137 cubic yards of cut and 23 cubic yards of fill. The applicant has found
that stem wall construction is more expensive, and is in the process of redesigning
the grading plan to use a mixture of stem wall and flat pad foundation; the foundation
plan and grading plan are not yet finalized.
The applicant has estimated that if the 25 foot front setback is required, additional fill
(approximately 4750 cubic yards total) will be required to construct the driveway and
push the structure further down the hill.
Staff is recommending approval of the Variance with the included Condition #6
regarding the stem wall construction and grading. Staff recommends that if the
Variance is approved, stem wall construction shall be required for the entire
residence. The purpose of the reduced setback is to limit the amount of grading
required to construct the residence. Stem wall construction would greatly reduce the
amount of fill required and help to maintain the natural grade of the site.
Staff has considered the possibility of moving the structure to the lower area of the
site, away from Falda Road. The main problem with this option is accessing the
structure. The site is extremely steep near Falda Road. Construing a driveway from
Falda Road to the bottom of the site would require a considerable amount of grading
to wind the driveway down the hill. The maximum allowable slope for driveways is
20% and the existing slope ranges from 34%- 64% at the top of the hill.
An alternative to this would be a driveway which gives access from Colima Road on
the opposite side of the property. Colima Road is close to the same elevation as the
bottom of the subject property. However, no easements are recorded which would
allow this parcel to gain access though the adjacent parcels. The City can not
require that the applicant enter into an agreement for an access road across another
private property.

Site Plan
Sloping Lot Adjustment
The Atascadero Municipal Code allows for a reduced setback for the garage on a
sloped lot. The sloped lot adjustment may be approved as an Administrative Use
Permit:
3) Sloping Lot Adjustment. In any case where the elevation of the natural grade on a
lot at a point fifty (50) feet from the centerline of the adjacent street right-of-way is
seven (7) feet above or below the elevation of the centerline, a private garage may
be located, at the discretion of the applicant, as close as five (5) feet to the street
property line, pursuant to Section 9-1.112 of this title, provided that portions of the
dwelling other than the garage shall be established at the setback otherwise
required.
The subject site meets the slope requirements of the sloping lot adjustment.
However, the proposed residence does not meet the requirements of the sloping lot
adjustment because the residence itself is proposed at 10 feet from the edge of the
right of way. The sloping lot adjustment allows for only the garage to encroach
within the setback. Therefore, the applicant is applying for a variance from the
standard 25 -foot front yard setback for the entire residence.
An alternative option to the requested variance would be to design a residence
which utilizes the sloping lot adjustment. The residence could be redesigned to take
advantage of this allowance. If the garage was located 10 feet from the road for
vehicle access, the residence could step back down the hill behind the garage, as is
often the case on steep slopes such as this.
Fencing
The applicant is requesting that the fencing on-site be subject to the same reduced
front setback as the residence. Approval of this request would allow solid fencing to
be placed as close as 10 feet from the right-of-way.
The Municipal Code states in the Residential Suburban Zone, solid fencing within the
front 25 -foot front yard setback shall not be over three (3) feet in height. Fencing within
the 25 -foot front yard setback may be up to five (5) feet in height, provided that the top
two (2) feet remain a minimum of eighty percent (80%) visibility (example: horse
fencing or chicken wire.) Fences beyond the 25 -foot front yard setback may be up to 6
feet in height, and may be solid fencing. This is required so that solid fencing does not
impair safe sight distance for vehicular traffic.
Staff has included Condition #5 in the resolution for approval to allow the applicant's
request for reduced fencing setback if the project is approved.

Environmental Review
Mitigated Negative Declaration #2006-0034 was posted from November 29 to
December 18, 2006 as part of the Precise Plan review on this project. Stem wall
construction was included in the Precise Plan proposed which only required minor
amounts of cut and fill. Since that time, the applicant has proposed changes in the
plans, including changing the stem wall construction to a flat pad which requires
additional cut and fill. A revised CEQA document will be required to be posted for an
additional 20 days if the project is to be built on a graded pad.
CEQA analysis is required for the project due to the slope of the site. A Variance to
reduce the setback, however, is categorically exempt under CEQA Section15305. A
Class 5 exempts minor alterations in land use limitations, including setback
variances and issuance of minor encroachment permits. The Planning Commission
may approve the Variance request before the reposting of the CEQA document, as
the Variance does not require CEQA review.
Findings
Variance
In order to approve an exception to the Development Standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission must make the following findings:
1. The Variance does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent
with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zoning district
in which such property is situated; and,
2. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size,
shape, topography, location, or surroundings, and because of these
circumstances, the application of this title would deprive the property of
privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same zoning
district; and,
3. The Variance does not authorize a use which is not otherwise authorized
in the zoning district; and
4. The granting of such Variance does not, under the circumstances and
conditions applied in the particular case, adversely affect the health or
safety of persons, is not materially detrimental to the public welfare, nor
injurious to nearby property or improvements.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project is a variance requesting a reduced front setback for a steeply
sloped lot. The Planning Commission must find that project meets the required
findings for a Variance in order to approve the reduced front setback for the
residence. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Variance
request with the condition the residence uses stem wall construction and limited
amounts of cut and fill.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may recommend 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 should specify the
reasons for denial of the project and make an associated finding with such
action.

Staff Report - Community Development Department
Setback Variance
PLN 2006-1172
(6200 Marchant Ave.)
SUBJECT:
A request to allow a front setback Variance to retain an existing 40" Valley Oak tree.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Planning Commission:
1. The Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC 2007-0006 to approve the
requested front setback variance subject to findings and conditions of approval.
Situation and Facts:
1. Owner/Applicant: Christopher Austin, 1923 Kleck Road, Paso Robles
CA 93446
2. Certified Arborist: Chuck Scovell, Certified Arborist
3. Project Address: 6200 Marchant Ave, Atascadero, CA 93422
APN: 030-221-026
3. General Plan Designation: Medium Density Residential
4. Zoning District: Residential Multi -Family - 10
5. Existing Use: Single -Family Residence
6. Environmental Status: Exempt under Article 19, Section 15303, Class 3a
ITEM NUMBER: 8
DATE: 5-15-07
BACKGROUND:
On December 5, 2006, the applicant brought the requested tree removal before the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission referred the item back to the
applicant to explore other design alternatives that would allow the tree to be saved.
Recommendations form the Planning Commission included attaching the two
proposed units to lessen the area of impact.
On February 6, 2007, the applicant presented information about the area necessary
for tree protection and site plan alternatives that would allow for retention of the 40"
Valley Oak tree. In order for the tree to be saved and density to be added to the
multi -family site, a setback variance would be necessary. The Planning Commission
expressed to the applicant that they could not make the findings for removal and
considered a setback variance a viable alternative for site development.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant developed an
alternative site plan that would
minimize impacts to the 40" Valley
Oak tree and retain the tree on-site.
Each of the proposed units would be
moved closer to Marchant Ave. and
the corner unit would be moved closer
to Alcantara Ave. to reduce
construction within the area identified
as the critical rootzone.
Unit 1 would be a minimum of 20 -feet
from Marchant Ave. and unit 2 would
be a minimum of 12 -feet from
Marchant Ave. As this is a corner lot, this could be considered the corner side
setback. The Atascadero Municipal Code allows a minimum 10 -feet setback in this
situation. Both buildings meet this corner side setback requirement as proposed.
Unit 2 has been repositioned to minimize impacts to the existing tree. The resulting
setback along Alcantara would be 5 -feet from the right-of-way line. As this is
considered to front setback, the applicant is requesting a reduction from the standard
25 -foot setback to a 5 -foot setback. The unit is tilted so that a majority of the unit is
greater than 5 -feet from the property line.
The revised site design has been reviewed and meets all property development
standards outlined in the Atascadero Municipal Code.
ITEM NUMBER: 8
DATE: 5-15-07
FINDINGS:
In order to approve an exception to the Development Standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission must make the following findings:
1. The Variance does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent
with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zoning district
in which such property is situated; and,
Staff Comment: The property contains an existing 40" Valley Oak tree
towards the center of the property which the Planning Commission
determined must remain. The location of the tree and size of the critical
root zone area compared to the overall size of the multi -family property
creates a unique situation.
2. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size,
shape, topography, location, or surroundings, and because of these
circumstances, the application of this title would deprive the property of
privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same zoning
district; and,
Staff Comment: The property contains an existing 40" Valley Oak tree
towards the center of the property which the Planning Commission
determined must remain. The location of the tree and size of the critical
root zone area compared to the overall size of the multi -family property
creates a unique situation.
3. The Variance does not authorize a use which is not otherwise authorized
in the zoning district; and
Staff Comment: The property is zoned residential multi -family. (maximum
density of 3 units)
4. The granting of such Variance does not, under the circumstances and
conditions applied in the particular case, adversely affect the health or
safety of persons, is not materially detrimental to the public welfare, nor
injurious to nearby property or improvements.
Staff Comment: Staff has reviewed the proposed building locations. All
proposed residences will have adequate sight distance to exit onto the
respective streets.
ALTERNATIVES:
ITEM NUMBER: 8
DATE: 5-15-07
1. The Commission may recommend 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 parcel would retain its
designation of Multi -Family Residential - 10. The Commission should specify
the reasons for denial of the project and make an associated finding with such
action.
CONCLUSION:
The Planning Commission determined that findings could not be made for approval of
a tree removal permit, thus, the applicant has designed the site to retain the existing
40" Valley Oak tree. The redesigned site includes a reduction in the front setback
along Alcantara Ave from 25 -feet to 5 -feet. The site has been reviewed for all
required site development standards listed in the Atascadero Municipal code for
multi -family developments and has undergone staff level appearance review through
the building permit process.
