ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 01/04/05
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The property fronts on Sinaloa Avenue, with a mixture of both single-family and multi-
family residences to the north, east, west and south. The land use designation is HDR
(High Density Residential, 16 units per acre) and the Zoning District is RMF -16
(Residential Multi -Family, 16 units per acre).
The parcel is relatively flat with two native trees and an existing Colony House. City
sewer will serve the property, and water is available from the Atascadero Mutual Water
Company.
Colony House:
The Property Condition Report, (prepared by Bob Dillon, General Contractor) and
photographic information indicate that the house retains a high level of integrity and is
"remarkably close to original." The existing Colony Home was built in 1929 of wood
frame construction with a plaster interior. The wood siding is a 2 7/8 pattern of clear
redwood shiplap/bevel siding and is all original.
The house was constructed as part of the original development of the Atascadero
Colony and is important to the history and continuity of the community. Conditions

have been included in the attached approval resolution that will help to insure that the
historical integrity of this house is preserved through the recordation of a deed
restriction (Condition 10 and Mitigation Measure 5.a.1).
Condominium Desian:
The proposed map will create three airspace units on one legal lot of record. Each unit
will have a one -car garage and a small, private yard of 100 square feet or greater.
There are five guest parking spaces, three of which are tandem spaces in front of the
proposed garages and two of which are parallel spaces along the east property line.
The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan High Density Residential Land Use
Designation and Residential Multi -Family Zoning regulations, based on performance
standards.

ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 01/04105
The new units for the project will be two-story, with hardi-plank siding and decorative
garage doors in keeping with general look of the existing Colony House.
Condominium Conversion Requirements:
The City's Municipal Code requires that the structures, driveways, landscaped areas,
common areas, and facilities be refurbished and restored to a safe and usable
condition. All deficiencies are to be corrected prior to recordation of the Final Map (Title
11, Subdivisions; Chapter 12).
Based on the Property Condition Report and the Pest Inspection Report, the Colony
House has recently been updated with new foundation walls and a resurfacing of the
interior plaster walls. Key Termite and Pest Control certified the property "free of visible
evidence of active infestation" in June of 2004. The General Contractor recommends
that additional electrical circuits be added and that the heating ducts be replaced over
the next few years.
Public Improvements:
The project has been conditioned to construct curb, gutter and sidewalk along the
Sinaloa Avenue frontage.
Environmental Review:
A Mitigated Negative Declaration is attached to this report for the Planning Commission

review.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed condominium map, as conditioned, is consistent with the 2002 General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance and the airspace configurations are consistent with the
requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. Staff recommends the Planning
Commission certify the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the
Tentative Parcel Map as conditioned.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may approve the map subject to additional or revised project
conditions. The Commission's motion to approve needs to include any new or
revised project conditions.
2. 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.
I 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.

Proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration 2004-0045
ITEM NUMBER: 4
DATE: 1-04-05
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City's General Plan, adopted in 2002, contains policies which focus on updating
allowed and conditionally allowed uses within Commercial Zoning Districts. Additionally,
the General Plan calls for expanding uses within the Commercial Tourist Zone, defining
bars, dance halls, night clubs, and drive through restaurants as conditionally allowed uses,
and abating uses solely devoted to outdoor storage.
Summary
The proposed Zone Text Amendment is as follows:
• Allow Office and Retail uses to the CT Zoning District.
• Conditionally allow Amusement Services; Bar/Tavern; and Eating and drinking places
with drive-through facilities to the CT Zoning District.
• Conditionally allow drive-through services to CR, CT, CN, CP, and CPK Zoning
Districts.
• Change vehicle & equipment storage from allowed use to conditionally allowed use in
the CR Zoning District.
• Change storage yards from allowed use to conditionally allowed use in the CS Zoning
District.
• Add Bar/tavern; eating and drinking places with drive-through facilities; and vehicle and
Equipment Storage to conditionally allowed uses in the CR Zoning District.
• Add Financial services; Furniture, home furnishings, and equipment; General
merchandise stores, Offices to the CT Zoning District.
• Add Bar/tavern; eating and drinking places where areas of use are greater than two
thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet per store; and eating and drinking places
with drive-through facilities to conditionally allowed uses in the CPK Zoning District.
• Adjustments to the following use definitions: Bar/Tavern, Eating and Drinking Places,
Eating and Drinking Places with drive-through facilities.
ITEM NUMBER: 4
DATE: 1-04-05
Analysis
Exaandina Uses within the Commercial Tourist Zonina District:
The Zoning Ordinance currently limits office and retail use within the Commercial Tourist
Zone, permitting such uses only when they are subordinate to an allowed use. General
Plan Policy 13.3.3 supports an expansion of allowable uses within this zone.
The proposed amendment will allow office and retail uses independent of another use
within the Commercial Tourist Zone. The amendment will create additional development
opportunities for existing vacant and under-utilized sites and will allow smaller parcels to
develop with small-scale retail and office uses.
Bars, Dance Halls, and Night Clubs:
Dance Halls and Night Clubs are currently included in the "Amusement Services" land use
definition and are defined as principal uses which are not part of a eating and drinking
establishment. Also included in the land use definition for "Amusement Services" are
bowling alleys, pool halls, skating rinks, ballrooms, card rooms, exercise facilities, and
gymnasiums. As these uses can have potential impacts to adjacent uses, General Plan
Policy LOC 3.1.11 calls for an update to the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that conditional
use permit approval is required for these uses. The Conditional Use Permit process
provides the opportunity for the public and the Planning Commission to review the
specifics of land use proposals, such as use compatibility, architectural and site design,
signage, noise, hours of operation, buffering, and specific standards of the Zoning
Ordinance.
At this time, amusement services are conditionally allowed in the Commercial Retail and
Commercial Service Zoning Districts and are currently allowed in the Commercial Tourist
Zoning Districts. The proposed Zone Text Amendment would update the Commercial
Tourist Zoning District to require a Conditional Use Permit for such uses. In addition, the
proposed Zone Text update recognizes the distinction between bars and other listed types
of amusement services creating a new land use definition for establishments primarily
engaged in the sale of alcohol. Bars and similar uses are proposed as conditional uses
within the Commercial Retail, Commercial Tourist, and Commercial Park Zoning Districts.
Drive-throuah Restaurants:
Currently, drive-through restaurants are included in the definition for Eating and Drinking
places. The proposed Zone Text Amendment would update the land use definitions to add
drive-through restaurants as a separate use, allowing restaurants with drive-through
services to be added as a conditional use to Commercial Zones while maintaining eating
and drinking establishments without a drive-through component as an allowed use. The
proposed Zone Text Amendment would establish drive-through restaurants as a
conditionally allowed use within the Commercial Retail, Commercial Tourist, Commercial
Neighborhood, Commercial Professional, and Commercial Park Zoning Districts.
ITEM NUMBER: 4
DATE: 1-04-05
Making drive-through restaurants a conditional use will allow the Planning Commission
and public to address concerns related to such uses and mitigate any potential impacts
that the use might have on the surrounding neighborhood.
Outdoor Storaae Uses:
General Plan Policy 1.3.7 calls for the abatement of uses solely devoted to outdoor
storage. The proposed amendments include requirements for a Conditional Use Permit for
"Storage Yards" within the Commercial Service Zone and requirements for a Conditional
Use Permit for "Vehicle and equipment storage" within the Commercial Retail Zone.
General Plan Consistency
Staff finds the proposed Text Amendment to be consistent with the 2002 General Plan's
goals and policies as noted in LOC 1, 3, 13, and 14:
LOC 1.3.7 Develop a program to abate uses solely devoted to outdoor storage.
LOC 3.1.5 Develop incentives to attract new businesses to under utilized locations along
El Camino Real.
LOC 3.1.11 Amend and maintain the zoning ordinance to require Conditional Use Permit
approvals of bars, dance halls, night clubs, drive through restaurants, and service stations.
LOC 13.3.3 Update and maintain the zoning ordinance to allow additional uses in the
Tourist Commercial Zone.
LOC 14.4 Ensure the City regulations and processes support economic development
opportunities.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Zone Text Amendment to update allowed and conditionally allowed uses
within Commercial Zones is consistent with General Plan Land Use and Economic
Development Policies. The Zoning Code update will establish additional review of potential
impacts and expand opportunities for development within specific commercial areas.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning Commission may add to or modify conditions for the proposed project.
2. The Planning Commission may recommend denial of the proposed Zoning Code
Amendment.
ITEM NUMBER: 4
DATE: 1-04-05
3. 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.
