011-004), Atascadero (SLO County)
Project Description:
Development Agreement: The project will be processed with a development agreement. The
development agreement will be utilized as a legal vehicle to provide for a transfer of site-specific
development credits without creating a program that will produce unintended consequences, or a
precedent requiring that the City allow increased density on any other sites in Atascadero. The
development agreement will incorporate specific government code section procedures to limit its
use to the proposed project type and restrict its use in situations where development agreements
may be inappropriate. The development agreement will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission prior to consideration for adoption in ordinance form by the City Council.
The proposed development agreement is for a transfer of eight single-family residential lots
from Pine Mountain to two receiver sites under a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change
process. In addition, a site located along Coromar Avenue will receive a land use and zone
change to allow 16 single-family residential lots. The project includes the following
additional actions at each site:
A. Coromar Avenue: General Plan Amendment from General Commercial to SFR -X
(Maximum density of 4 units per acre with a minimum lot area of 0.5 acres net. Smaller lot
sizes up to 4 units per acre allowed through a planned development overlay process). Zone
Change from CR & CT to RSF-Xzone with Planned Development Overlay No.
17/Conditional Use Permit corresponds to the general plan amendment. The Planned
Development Overlay No. 17 may be established in the RSF X single family residential zones
on lots with a net acreage exceeding one (1) acre. The maximum density within the planned
development shall not exceed a gross density offour (4) units per acre. This overlay zone
contains specific site development standards that are incorporated into the proposed project.
A Vesting Tentative Tract Map is also included corresponding to the proposed 16 residential
lots (maximum project entitlement) and site improvements. In addition, a zone change is
proposed for a separate but contiguous single-family residential property located at 8955
Coromar Avenue for land use consistency, not subject to the proposed development
agreement or above-mentioned planed development.
B. Colima Road: General Plan Amendment from SE (2.5 —10 ac lot size) to RSF-Y
(Minimum lot size I acre - second units allowed subject to zoning requirements). Zone
Change from RS to RSF-Y corresponds to the general plan amendment. A new Planned
Development Overlay No. 21 is required to allow one preexisting lot to remain less than one
acre and to restrict all lots from adding second dwelling units. A Tentative Tract Map is also
included corresponding to the proposed 5 residential lots and site improvements. Maximum
project entitlement five (5) lots, three (3) of which are transferred units from the Pine
Mountain property plus two (2) lots that currently exist.
C. Ferrocaril Road (De Anza Estates): General Plan Amendment from SE (2.5 —10 ac lot
size) to RSF-Y (Minimum lot size I acre. Second units allowed subject to zoning
requirements). Zone Change from RS to RSF-Y corresponding to the general plan
amendment and an amendment to an existing Master Plan of Development to reflect the
additional lots and to restrict second dwelling units on all 20 lots within the on-site Planned

Planning Services Manager Steve McHarris provided the staff report and answered questions of

PUBLIC COMMENT
George Molina, 5000 Marchant Avenue, Applicant, stated he agreed with the staff report.
Eric Greening, 7365 Valle, asked several questions including how the determination of eight
potential legal building sites was made, how the 16 building sites on Coromar were added, and
what was the status of the property between this and the cemetery. He recommended that before
the Commission took any action on this project they actually find the values to be transferred.
additional actions at each site:
A. Coromar Avenue: General Plan Amendment from General Commercial to SFR -X
(Maximum density of 4 units per acre with a minimum lot area of 0.5 acres net. Smaller lot
sizes up to 4 units per acre allowed through a planned development overlay process). Zone

the Commission.
PUBLIC COMMENT
George Molina, 5000 Marchant Avenue, Applicant, stated he agreed with the staff report.
Eric Greening, 7365 Valle, asked several questions including how the determination of eight
potential legal building sites was made, how the 16 building sites on Coromar were added, and
what was the status of the property between this and the cemetery. He recommended that before
the Commission took any action on this project they actually find the values to be transferred.
Annette Johnson, 8955 Corornar Road, Applicant, indicated her support for the zone change for
the Coromar location.
Kelly Gearhart, Applicant, stated he was available to answer questions on the receiver sites.
Jennifer Eichmeyer, 3605 Colima Road, stated she was delighted to see the sewer going down
her street and made available to the neighborhood.
Linda Zirk, 5405 Marco Lane, expressed her concerns with drainage issues on her property
coming from the Colima Road area. She requested a modification to the Plans be made to
include a more detailed drainage report, asked that she be held harmless and indemnified from
any underground or surface water that causes flooding and damage to her property, and a
minimum 35 foot setback from her property line be required for structures on Lot No. 4.
Irene Bishop, 7151 Serena Court, asked why she, as a neighboring property owner, had not
received notice about this project. She expressed her concerns with the project and suggested an
additional public hearing on this item before any decisions were made.
Chairperson Kelley closed the Public Comment period.
Chairperson Kelley asked staff to address questions raised in the Public Comment period. He
indicated that each section of this project would be addressed individually.
Coromar Avenue Site
Commissioner O'Keefe stated her concerns with the fiscal impact from the loss of commercial
zoning on this project.
Vice Chairperson Jones indicated his concern with the use of in -lieu fees versus providing actual
affordable housing.
Commissioner Fonzi expressed her concern with the Coromar property and indicated that she
could not see a connection between this property and the eight development credits.
Commissioners Beraud and O'Keefe were concerned with the lack of a plan for the trees on the
site.
Chairperson Kelley asked about the use of an assessment district rather than creating a private
road and stated his concern with the height of the buffer wall.
Colima Road Site
Associate Civil Engineer Jeff van den Eikhof addressed the drainage question raised during the
Public Comment period by Mrs. Zirk.
Linda Zirk answered questions of the Commission.
Kelly Gearhart clarified that there is a lot of septic in the area around Mrs. Zirk's property that
could be causing the groundwater problem. He stated the sewer line should help to alleviate the
problem.
Ferrocaril Road Site
Commissioner O'Keefe expressed her concern that no footprints have been identified on this site
and that tree protection is poor.
Commissioner Beraud also stated her concerns with impacts to the trees on the site.
Eric Greening stated several concerns with this site including: 1) tree protection, 2) increasing
train traffic and 3) screening of the public from crossing the train tracks.
Pine Mountain
Commissioner O'Keefe questioned how the eight parcels were determined and stated she could
not understand how this was done and that it was excessive.
Commissioner Beraud stated that the Molina property was an important acquisition, but it must
be verified that it is a just and equitable exchange. She proposed sending this item back to staff
for a fiscal analysis.
Chairperson Kelley commented that the City Council had determined on the eight units, which
he feels is an equitable trade as it saves 28 acres above Stadium Park as well as providing 16
affordable homes in the Coromar area.
Commissioner Fonzi stated that looking at this item as a package deal was a convoluted way of
approaching it. She hoped the City Council would not place the Planning Commission in this
difficult position again. Commissioner Fonzi indicated that she had a problem with the Coromar
property and does not see the connection between the development credits for this site and the
Planned Development.
Vice Chairperson Jones felt the Commission's hands were tied because of the City Council's
action and expressed discomfort with how this project came to the Commission.
MOTION: Vice Chairperson Jones and seconded by Chairperson Kelley to adopt Resolution
No. PC 2004-0007 recommending that the City Council certify Proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration 2003-0069; and, adopt Resolution No. PC 2004-

5. Site Area: 0.15 acres
6. Existing Use: Commercial Retail and Residential
7. Environmental Status: Mitigated Negative Declaration 2002-0044
DISCUSSION:
1. Background
On February 4, 2003, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit
for a project on the existing K -Jon's commercial site, which consists of a planned
4,464 square foot commercial building, a 1,600 square foot residential duplex
building, 4 -car carport, and landscaping on an existing 0.46 -acre parcel. At the time
of project approval, staff and the applicant had anticipated that a mixed-use zoning
ordinance was to be established that would have accommodated the residential
duplex use within the commercially designated K -Jon's site. However, to date, a
mixed-use ordinance has not been enacted, requiring a proposed land use and zone
change for the project to proceed as originally approved by the Planning
Commission.
2. Project Summary
The General Plan identifies this site, along with adjacent properties to the north and
south as Commercial Retail and property to the east as Medium -Density Residential
(10 units/acre). EI Camino Real and U.S. Highway 101 are located to the west.
The project site is located within the Commercial Retail Zoning District and situated
mid -block along the east side of EI Camino Real between San Jacinto Avenue and
Rosario Avenue. Residential Multi -Family zoning occurs to the east and also to the
north and south.
Although the General Plan conditionally allows multi -family residential use in the
Commercial Retail Zoning District where appropriate, a Mixed -Use Zoning
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 03-02-04
Ordinance has not been established requiring the residential duplex portion of the
originally approved project to be submitted to the Planning Commission and City
Council as a minor adjustment in land use to accommodate the residential duplex
use. No changes are proposed to the originally approved CUP, Master Plan of
Development, Conditions of Approval, or Mitigation Measures.
3. General Plan Amendment Requirements
Conformance with the adopted General Plan Goals, Policies and Programs and the
overall intent of the Plan
The proposed project is consistent with several General Plan goals, policies and
programs. Those identified below provide the Planning Commission with the
justification required for amending the General Plan as proposed.
Land Use Goal 1: "Protect and preserve the rural atmosphere of the community by
assuring "elbow room" for residents by means of maintenance of large lot sizes
which increase in proportion to distance beyond the Urban Core".
■ Program 2: "Concentrate higher density development downtown and within
the Urban Core, and focus master planned commercial uses at distinct nodes
along arterial corridors".
■ Program 7: "Within the Urban Core encourage infill development or the
revitalization or reuse of land already committed to urban development where
utilities and public services exits".
Land Use Goal 3: "Transform the existing El Camino Real "strip" into a distinctive,
attractive and efficient commercial, office and industrial park area which can provide
for the long term viability of the community."
■ Policy 3.1: "Ensure retail businesses at efficient and attractive nodes along El
Camino Real and Morro Road with mixed office and residential uses between
those nodes".
■ Policy 3. 1, Program 7: "Conditionally allow, mixed-use or exclusive
multifamily infill development in the mid -block portions of General Commercial
areas along El Camino Real."

Conclusion
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 03-02-04
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan Amendment and Zone
Change process, as analyzed within this staff report. The applicant has proposed a
change in use that is both consistent with the General Plan policies and zoning
ordinance, and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood with no significant
environmental impacts. It is staff's opinion that the proposed project, as conditioned
allows the Planning Commission to make all of the required findings for project
approval recommendation to the City Council.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The Commission may make 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 General
Plan designation of General Commercial and Commercial Retail zoning
district. The Commission should specify the reasons for denial of the project
and make an associated finding with such action.

SUBJECT:
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 2003-0046: Proposed subdivision of one existing parcel
totaling approximately 7.82 acres into two parcels of 4.62 and 3.60 acres, gross. The site is
currently developed with a single-family residence. The existing improvements will be
confined to one lot allowing development of a single-family residence on the remaining lot.
RECOMMENDATION:

Site Description: The site is moderate to steeply sloping and is located on the south side of
La Canada, backing up to Del Rio Road. Proposed Parcel 1 is currently developed with a
single-family residence.

View of the property from proposed Parcel 2 looking west towards the existing residence
DISCUSSION:
Subdivision Design:
The subdivision will divide one existing lot into two parcels. The resulting parcels will share
an access point off of La Canada, over a short easement. Proposed Parcel 1 will then be
granted an easement across Parcel 2 over the existing driveway, for access. Both resulting
parcels will exceed the 3:1 depth to width ratio. However, the proposed width of the two
parcels will exceed 200 feet and will not be detrimental to neighboring parcels. In addition,
the depth to width ratio will not impede future development as the majority of the property is
encumbered by a Pacific Gas and Electric easement that renders the property unbuildable.

The existing improvements on the site will be confined to proposed Parcel 1. The tentative
parcel map has identified a potential building site on proposed parcel 2. The site consists of
average slopes of 20%. Percolation tests indicate that each lot is suitable for an engineered
onsite septic system. Atascadero Mutual Water Company will provide water to the potential
new residences at the time of development. Future utilities to the new lots will be required
to be placed underground and located within the driveway area to reduce any potential
impacts to native vegetation.

Future development has been designed to avoid impacts to native vegetation; however,
there are several oak trees on the property. The applicant has provided a letter from a
certified arborist stating that it appears future construction can be accommodated on the site
without impacts, but at application for building permits, a certified arborist shall reinspect the
site to insure that construction does not encroach into drip lines. The project has been
conditioned to require reinspection at the time of building permits (Planning Condition 9).
ITEM NUMBER: 4
DATE: 03/02/04
The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan Rural Estate land use designation and
Residential Suburban zoning regulations with a minimum lot sizes of 3.84 and 3.59 acres,
gross, based on the minimum lot size criteria.
Environmental Review:
The Initial Study concludes that there will be no significant harm to the environment as a
result of this subdivision. A proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for
the project and certification of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is included in draft
Planning Commission Resolution 2003-0116.
CONCLUSIONS:
The subdivision, as conditioned, is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The parcel configurations are consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance requirements with
the finding that the depth to width ratio will not be detrimental to neighboring properties and
will not impede future development. The size and shape of the proposed lots are consistent
with the character of the immediate neighborhood. Staff recommends the Planning
Commission approve the tentative parcel map as conditioned.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Commission may approve the subdivision 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 subdivision 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.

Re: Lot Split for 9055 La Canada, Atascadero, CA
This report is in regards to the proposed lot split (TEN 2003-0046) for APN 050-
021-028. On 10-23-03, we visited the property to examine the proposed house site and
determine if there are potential impacts to the native oak trees. There is a large open
space on this property that could easily be utilized for the home placement. As long as
the house construction does not encroach into the drip -line of any oak tree, there should
be no impacts. This report is only an observance and in no way constitutes as a tree
protection plan. Prior to any development, a thorough and accurate tree protection plan
will need to be produced and implemented. Specific mitigation measures will need to be
followed when working adjacent to any oak tree.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance for this project.
Sincerely,

requirements prior to any grubbing or earth work for any
portion of the project site. All tree protection fencing and
trunk protection shall be installed for inspection during the
meeting.
(c) As specified by the City staff:
■ Fencing: Must be a minimum of 4' high chain link,
snow or safety fence staked at the drip -line or line
of encroachment for each group of trees. The
fence must be up before any construction or earth
moving begins. The arborist(s) shall inspect the
fence placement once it is erected.
■ Soil Aeration Methods: Soils under the drip -lines
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 2-4" auger) and the
application of moderate amounts of nitrogen
fertilizer. The arborist(s) shall advise.
■ 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.
■ Trenching Within the Drip Line: All trenching
under the drip lines of native trees shall be hand
dug, augured or bored. All major roots shall be
avoided whenever possible. All exposed roots
larger than 1" in diameter shall be clean cut with a
sharp pruning tool and not left ragged. Trenching
will occur during septic line construction and water
line construction.
■ Grading Within the Drip Line: Grading should not
encroach within the drip line. If grading is
necessary, construction of retaining walls or tree
wells or other protection measures may be
necessary to insure the survivability of the trees.
Chip mulch 4-6" in depth may also be required in
these areas. Grading should not disturb 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.
■ Exposed Roots: Any exposed roots shall be
recovered the same day they were exposed.
