COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORTS
4. TREE ORDINANCE DISCUSSION
Community Development Director Warren Frace stated that this discussion would give the
Commission the opportunity to discuss concerns and give staff feedback.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Eric Greening, 7365 Valle, stated it was his opinion that the tree ordinance is generally working
well. He expressed some concerns including: 1) in densely covered difficult building sites
where large numbers of trees are being removed for single family residences, he would rather see
payment of mitigation fees than replanting, those fees should be used for habitat protection, and
2) the consequences of taking out smaller trees that have a longer lifespan.
George Molina expressed his opinion that it was important to look at the Tree Ordinance and the
way it effects the economics of building a house. He stated that staff could be trusted to make
decisions, and public hearings were not necessary and inefficient. He would like to see a
reduction in the time frame to get permits.
Jean Sterns, 5700 Olmeda Avenue, disagreed with the last comments. She is against cutting
down trees to put in more houses and expressed concern regarding the height of buildings and
how high buildings cut off mountain views.
Chip Tamagni, 2900 Monterey Road, arborist, indicated that he has done many tree protection
plans and he sees the greatest problem as being monitoring during construction. He would like
to see more teeth in the ordinance regarding monitoring and the responsibility of owners and
developers to insure their contractors follow the ordinance and tree protection plans.
Steven Alvarez, 1615 Lupin Lane, arborist, stated he tries to abide by the high standards of the
Tree Ordinance. The problems he sees is the post -construction landscaping planned around trees
and feels the focus must be on the value of native trees. The irrigation going up against tree
trunks and drip lines is drowning the trees and depleting oxygen. He would like to see less of a
focus on older trees and greater consideration given to younger treeswe should be looking at
reforestation.
Jean Sterns related incidents she has seen where roots have been cut while digging a trench, she
would like to see trees saved properly.
Chairperson Kelley closed the Public Comment period.
Commissioner Beraud stated that the Tree Ordinance does a good job overall. She sees a lot of
problems with monitoring and would like to see a better system including penalties and
incentives for following the Tree Ordinance. Total tree coverage losses are important,
especially the removal of younger trees. Regarding use of the mitigation fees, she would like to
see the City be proactive in obtaining open space. Landscape plans must be appropriate to the
trees left on site
Commissioner Porter indicated that he has a problem with the current fee schedule. He has a
hard time requiring applicants to pay mitigation trees for removal of trees that pose a hazard to
the public, there should be some avenue in the Tree Ordinance that would allow the Planning
Commission or the City Council to waive these fees if necessary. He would like to see a 10%
variance rule once a project is approved that would allow the Community Development Director
or staff to approve subsequent tree removals.
Vice Chairperson Jones agreed with need to protect younger trees. He would like to see the City
Council encourage the use of mitigation funds for easements for habitat protection. The
Ordinance should be more efficient and allow staff to make some of the decisions. He is
disturbed by requiring the applicant to pay into the mitigation fund when there is a hazardous
situation or no room to plant more trees. The Commission should be able to waive fees when
appropriate.
Commissioner Fonzi expressed concern with charging applicants to remove dead trees, as these
are being removed for the public good. She questioned why there are different standards for
replacement and fees in different areas. There does not seem to be any consistency, she would
like the fees to be uniform. Table 8-A in the Tree Ordinance is confusing and she would like
staff to look into it. She suggested reevaluating the native tree species in the Tree Ordinance,
and feels Digger Pines should be considered native trees and that Elm trees should be protected
in Atascadero. Staff should have more flexibility in determining tree removal—should have a
certain percentage. She would like staff to review the Ordinance and let the Commission know
if there are superfluous areas in the ordinance. Commissioner Fonzi has concerns with vineyards
going in and the subsequent removal of all the trees on the site. This is not covered under the
Ordinance. There is no uniformity to tree protection plans and arborist reports, and guidelines
are necessary so arborists know what to expect. There should be more monitoring during the
construction process and penalties where abuses occur.
Chairperson Kelley would like to see mitigation fees used when tree removal on packed lots
takes place. The Ordinance should be made more user friendly, staff can make some decisions
on tree removals; 10% change is acceptable. He has a problem with charging for removal of
dead trees. Chairperson Kelley would like the Planning Commission to have the ability to adjust
some of the fees especially with dead or hazardous trees. If a tree is deemed hazardous staff
should be able to deal with that immediately. He stated that a tree on a residential lot is the same
as a tree on a commercial lot and should be treated the same with the same fee structure.
Monitoring tree protection plans are difficult, and should be left to the arborist. A penalty plan is
good; perhaps institute a phased system of penalties. Mitigation fees can be put back into
easements and protection of trees as well as an education program for anyone coming in for tree
removals. A uniform application/checklist would be good. The Fire Department should have
input into the Ordinance especially in mountainous areas. Where tree removals are necessary for
fire protection no fees should be involved. The Ordinance seems to address developers only; it
should treat everyone equally.
Commissioner Beraud stated she was afraid of the 10% staff approval and feels it could lead to
sloppy tree protection.
Chairperson Kelley indicated that if someone does make an attempt to try to save a tree but it
must be taken down, there should be some way to waive the fee.
Chip Tamagni addressed the issue of taking down hazardous trees without permits. There is an
approved, standardized hazardous tree evaluation form. He stated that those who want to live
around oak trees must assume some degree of risk. Some threshold of hazard to cause trees to
come down must be considered.
Jerry Clay reminded those present that nature has planted the trees. The perception is that if we
don't take are of the trees, nothing will happen but trees do regenerate themselves and nature
takes care of the trees.

Atascadero City Planning Commission
Staff Report — Community Development Department
Tentative Parcel Map 2000-0003 (AT 00-068)
5100 Cascabel Road
Safarjan
RECOMMENDATION (S):
Adopt Resolution No. PC 2004-0034 approving the Reconsideration of Tentative Parcel
Map 2000-0003 consistent with Negative Declaration 2000-0020, based on findings and
conditions of approval.
REPORT -IN -BRIEF:
The Planning Commission originally approved tentative Parcel Map 2000-0003 on June
20, 2000. The applicant was in fie process of completing the Final Map, when it was
determined that the Tentative Map had expired on June 20, 2003. The applicant is now
requesting a reconsideration of Tentative Parcel Map 2000-0003 in order to reinstate the
map and complete the final map process.
DISCUSSION:
Background: This application is a resubmittal of a previously approved parcel map that has
expired. Tentative Parcel Map #29-89 was recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission on April 17, 1990 and was approved by City Council on May 8, 1990. The
approval allowed the subdivision of one lot containing approximately 6.0 acres into two lots
containing approximately 3.2 and 2.6 acres each.
On March 9, 1993, the City Council conducted a public hearing to reconsider Tentative
Parcel Map #29-89. The reconsideration request was to modify parcel configuration,
private driveway improvements and to eliminate a condition requiring an open space
easement along Graves Creek. The Council reapproved TPM #29-89 including
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 3-16-04
modification of parcel configuration and private driveway improvements, but retained the
open space easement. The expiration of the map therefore became March 9, 1995.
In early 1995, the State Legislature amended the Subdivision Map Act to automatically
extend all active tentative parcel maps by three (3) years. This allowed the subject map an
extension to March 9, 1998. A one-year time extension was approved on March 17, 1998,
giving the map an expiration date of March 9, 1999, after which it expired. The applicant
subsequently applied for a new subdivision map following the same criteria that was
approved on March 9, 1993. The Planning Commission approved the new map on June
20, 2000. In 2002, the applicant applied for a one-year time extension, extending the life of
the map to June 20, 2003. The project was proceeding through the final map process in
June 2003, when the map expired. The applicant is now requesting reconsideration of this
Parcel Map so the map can be reinstated and the final map process can be completed.
Analysis: The site is on a relatively flat lot adjacent to Cascabel Road. Graves Creek runs
along the northern border of the property and is somewhat shielded by native trees and
shrubs. The majority of the site was historically used for agricultural crops and does not
appear to contain significant native vegetation. One single family home served by a narrow
unpaved driveway exists at the rear of the site, on what will become parcel 1. Proposed
parcel 2 is currently undeveloped.
The Parcel Map as proposed, meets the minimum lot size requirements for Residential
Suburban Zoning Districts. Average slopes are between 2 and 10% (percent) and
percolation rates are between 20 and 39 minutes per inch, resulting in a minimum parcel
size of 2.572 acres, gross.
Both lots will take access from Cascabel Road along the flag portion of lot 1. A forty -foot
wide access and public utility easement will be established for the benefit of lot 2. In
addition, the map will provide for a 20 -foot offer of dedication along Cascabel Road.
An unpaved driveway currently provides access to the existing residence on proposed lot
1. The Subdivision Ordinance requires the flag portion to be a minimum of 24 -feet wide
with 20 -feet of pavement, when the length of the flag exceeds 150 -feet, unless otherwise
approved by the Planning Commission. Parcel 1 is subject to these standards. Previously
this driveway was approved as a 12 -foot wide private driveway. Staff recommends that the
Planning Commission approve the project consistent with other recent flag lot subdivisions,
requiring a minimum 24 -foot width with 16 feet of pavement. The conditions of approval
(Condition 10) have been modified to reflect this recommendation.
The project will provide an open space easement along the length of the property boundary
adjacent to Graves Creek (Condition 7). The easement will be 50 -feet wide, except in the
area of the existing residence, where it will narrow to 15 -feet.
ITEM NUMBER: 2
DATE: 3-16-04
Conclusion: The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and the parcel
configurations are consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance requirements. The size and
shape of the lots proposed are consistent with the character of the immediate
neighborhood. As conditioned, the project would allow the development of one additional
residence and would have no significant adverse effects on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning Commission may approve the parcel map with modified conditions of
approval.
2. The Planning Commission may deny approval of the parcel map, based on
appropriate findings. To deny an application, the Commission must find that it is
inconsistent with the General Plan or one or more of the required findings of
approval cannot be made. The motion to deny must include a finding for denial.
3. The Planning Commission may continue the action and refer the project back to
staff for additional information or analysis. Direction should be given to staff and the
applicant.

The General Plan and Zoning Ordinance identifies the project site and surrounding
properties as Medium -Density Residential with a maximum density of 10 dwelling
units per acre. The properties directly adjacent to the project site are currently
developed with single-family residences. Multiple properties within the greater
surrounding neighborhood are developed with multi -family dwellings. The property to
the north of the proposed project contains a historic Colony home. The project site's
multi -family residential zoning and use is consistent with the General Plan. The
General Plan and zoning incorporates factors such as slope, native trees,
circulation, building coverage and landscape development standards that could
reduce the density accordingly. The zoning ordinance allows the establishment of a
Planned Development Overlay No. 7 (PD -7) in the multi -family zone which requires
a minimum of four single-family units, consistent with the PD -7 site development
standards and appearance review, as analyzed within this report.

Analysis
Architecture, Materials, Color
The applicant has worked with staff in designing the homes with architectural
features, upgraded building materials, compatible colors, and landscape design
consistent with the requirements of the PD -7 development standards. In addition,
staff has added conditions of approval consistent with General Plan & Zoning
requirements and agreed upon by the applicant, as identified below.
The project has been designed with two story single-family residences that
incorporate quality building materials and architectural treatments to blend with the
existing neighborhood along Olmeda and Rosario Ave. A combination of 2 different
floor plans have been proposed for the project site creating a variety of homes.
Setbacks from the shared driveway are a minimum of 15 -feet from the edge of the
pavement. The existing residence is setback a minimum of 25 feet from both the
Olmeda and Rosario Avenue frontages. All garages are recessed 5 -feet from the
front porch.
A variety of architectural features will be incorporated into the project, including:
wrap-around porches on the corner units, decorative window treatments, and a
masonry veneer base. All trash storage, recycle storage, and air conditioning units
will be screened from view behind fenced or landscaped enclosures. Conditions
have been included that will require the garage doors be architectural grade and be
painted to match the selected body color (Condition PD 6).
All front yards and street facing side yards shall be landscaped by the developer
(Condition PD 10). Back yards will be landscaped by the individual property owners.
All landscape maintenance will be the responsibility of the individual property owner.

The applicant has included sample elevations illustrating color and material
schemes. As the colors and materials are conceptual, a condition has been
included that staff review and approve final selections for design quality and
neighborhood compatibility (Condition PD 6). Refer to Exhibit K for details.
Landscape Design
The preliminary landscape plan has been designed for compatibility with the
surrounding neighborhood and visual appearance from Rosario Avenue. Shade
trees have been located along the Rosario frontage and along the shared driveway.
The landscape plan includes the retention of a prominent oak tree cluster that
straddles the project site and the historic home property to the north and a large live
oak located along the Olmeda frontage in front of the existing home.
Historic Compatibility
The property adjacent to the project site contains an original Atascadero colony
home. Staff has conditioned that a landscape buffer be included between the
proposed project driveway and the existing Colony home property to retain the
existing context of the historic home (Condition PD 7). Additionally, the proposed
shared driveway extension to the western property line of lot 2 shall incorporate a
decorative paving treatment of design and color to compliment the adjacent Colony
house and the proposed homes (Mitigation Measure 5.a.1).
Site Plan, Circulation, Parking
The site plan meets the requirements of the Atascadero Municipal Code and the
General Plan. The project will include street frontage improvements along Rosario
Avenue. The proposed driveway is designed to be sixteen -foot wide paved width
with 20 -foot clear space provided with use of low-lying groundcover along the east
side for emergency vehicle access (Condition PD 19/TTM 12).
Each lot contains a minimum two covered parking spaces and one uncovered guest
space, which is consistent with the PD -7 requirements.
Site Drainage
On-site storm water detention is accommodated along the Rosario Ave frontage.
Maintenance of the drainage basin will be included in the CC&R's for the project.
The basin shall be landscaped by the developer and shall include low-lying ground
cover (Condition PD 10).
Wastewater
Sanitary sewer will be connected to the existing Rosario Avenue sewer line.

One of the required findings for approval of a planned development rezone is that
the project must "offer certain redeeming features to compensate for the requested
modification." Due to the site's limited area and relatively small subdivision,
common recreational facilities may not be practical. However, the project will have a
number of "redeeming features" which include the following: 1) incorporation of high
quality materials and porch elements on corner units; 2) each unit will have a private
yard area that will allow for outdoor recreational opportunities, 3) provision of a
variety of home designs, 4) architectural and landscape features of the project have
been designed to enhance the project's appearance and benefit the surrounding
neighborhood; 5) incorporation of special paving treatment for the shared driveway
and landscape buffering between the project site and the existing Colony home, and
6) the project will provide inclusionary in lieu fees for affordable housing consistent
with the interim Council Policy.
Affordable and Workforce Housing
The City Council has implemented an interim inclusionary affordable housing
program bo include a fixed percentage of units within residential developments that
require a legislative approval to be reserved as deed restricted affordable units or an
in -lieu fee to be collected. This interim program allows the project applicant a choice
of either setting aside one housing unit at the moderate rate for a period of 30 years,
or paying an in -lieu fee based on 5.00% of the construction valuation of each of the
market rate units. A condition of approval has been added to this effect (Condition
PD 14/TTM 8).
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-16-04
The project is also conditioned to offer for sale housing units to residents or workers
within the City of Atascadero exclusively during the first 60 days of the initial home
sale. (Condition PD 16)
Tentative Tract Map
A five -lot tract map is proposed as part of the project consistent with the Master Plan
of Development. The tract map has been conditioned by staff and the City Engineer
to meet all City standards including street frontage improvements. The applicant will
be required to record CC&R's for the map that will include maintenance and access
of common areas (Condition PD 50/TTM 17).
Master Plan of Development (Conditional Use Permit)
A Master Plan of Development is required for the PD -7, to be approved through the
Conditional Use Permit process. The Planning Commission must make the following
five findings to approve a Conditional Use Permit:
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 Multi -Family Residential
designation of the Plan and General Plan Land Use Element Policy 1.1, Housing
Element Policy 1.2, Housing Element Policy 2.2, and Housing Element Policy
4.3.
2. The proposed project or use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Title (Zoning
Ordinance) including the PD -7 Ordinance.
Staff Comment: As conditioned and based on findings, the project satisfies all
PD -7 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 project will not be detrimental to the
general public or working persons 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.
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-16-04
Staff Comment: The project has been designed to be consistent with the existing
neighborhood character. Conditions have been included to require appropriate
landscape buffering and pavered driveway providing sensitivity to the adjacent
historic colony home and context of the site.
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.
Staff Comment: The proposed project and use is consistent with the traffic
projections and road improvements anticipated within the General Plan. The
proposed project density (10 units/acre) equates to a maximum of 4 additional
units on the project site.
Based on staff's analysis in the preceding sections, it appears that all of the required
findings for approval of a Master Plan of Development (Conditional Use Permit) can
be made.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use
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".
Housing Element Policy 1.2: "Encourage a variety of high quality developments with
detached units on individual lots or airspace condominiums on commonly ovined
lots."
Housing Element Policy 2.2: "Promote and encourage availability of new housing
units to first time homebuyers."
Housing Element Policy 4.3: "Encourage attractive architecture and site landscaping
that respect terrain and native trees".
Implementing General Plan programs requires appearance review of architectural
design, materials, street trees, and landscaping to maintain Atascadero's rural
atmosphere, protect the environment, and incorporate architectural themes into site
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-16-04
and building design. As analyzed above, the proposed project as conditioned is
consistent with the General Plan.
In staff's opinion the project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use
Element and the Housing Element, including compliance with Council Policy
regarding affordable housing provisions. The project will provide five small -lot,
single-family dwellings that fulfill an important housing need within the community
and follow the General Plan's policies relating to the implementation of smart growth
principles. As conditioned, the project incorporates architectural and landscape
elements that are consistent with the scale and character of the surrounding
neighborhood and the General Plan's appearance review requirement. The project
provides a high quality infill development within the City's urban core area. The
proposed residential use is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood use and
character.
Proposed Environmental Determination
Staff has prepared a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, circulated to public
agencies and interested members of the public on February 26, 2004. The
environmental analysis identified concerns regarding potential impacts to aesthetics,
air quality, cultural resources, geology & soils, hydrology & water quality, land use
and planning, noise, and utility systems. 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.
Staff is recommending the Commission recommend that the City Council certify
Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2004-0006.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Atascadero Municipal
Code, as analyzed within this staff report. The applicant has proposed design
modifications and agrees with all mitigation measures and conditions of approval. 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
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-16-04
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 Residential Multi -Family. The Commission should specify the
reasons for denial of the project and make an associated finding with such
action.

■ Grading within 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 4-0" in depth
may also be required in these areas. 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.
■ Exposed Roots: Any exposed roots shall be
recovered the same day they were exposed.
■ Paving within the Drip -line: Pervious surfacing is
required within the dripline of any oak trees.

Summary
Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2004-
0003
The proposed master plan of development includes a site plan designating shared
access and parking areas, project landscaping, and a tract map to allow for a total of
nine (9) commercial -office buildings on the site. Building envelopes, maximum building
square footage, and conceptual design guidelines are incorporated into the conditions
of approval for the project to allow design flexibility and to ensure compliance with City
design review, parking, and development standards.
Background

North: Commercial Retail
South: Morro Road and Commercial Retail
East: Commercial Professional
West: Atascadero Creek Reservation
The General Plan identifies this site, along with adjacent properties to the north, south,
and east as Commercial Property with adjacent property to the west designated as
Atascadero Creek Reservation open space. A Conditional Use Permit (Master Plan of
Development) is required by City Ordinance for commercial projects in excess of 10,000
square feet. This proposed project allows for a maximum building size of 13,200 square
feet.
Analysis
Site Master Plan
The applicant has submitted a master plan of development for the site as opposed to
specific building footprints and elevations to allow for greater flexibility in building
placement and development should each be developed by separate owners in the
future. The master plan of development includes shared parking and access areas
which have been reviewed by staff for general plan and zoning ordinance conformance.
All parking areas will be required to be completed prior to the recordation of the final
map (Condition CUP 13/TTM 9). Maximum building square footage for the site has
been identified to ensure that the proposed build out of the center will be in compliance
with the code -required on-site parking standards (Condition CUP 6).
The Master Plan of Development also includes a conceptual landscape plan which
identifies required landscaping for each lot and all common areas. All future building
permits have been conditioned to require a landscape plan consistent with the proposed
conceptual plan, specific to the future building design and footprint (Condition CUP 14).
All landscaping within common areas and as part of the revegetation plan for the
Atascadero Creek setback area will be required to be completed prior to recordation of
the final map (Condition CUP 14).
Appearance Review Manual
Architecture
The site is currently approved for two small commercial/office buildings located along
the Morro Road frontage. Similar to the adjacent building on the corner of Portola Ave
and Morro Rd, the buildings incorporate tower elements at the entrance to the shared
parking area, mission tile roofing, and tile building accents alluding to a modern Spanish
Mediterranean architectural design scheme. Awnings and horizontal recessed
elements provide a pedestrian scaled storefront. With the inclusion of the previously
approved building style, materials, and colors, staff has developed conditions of
approval that will guide future building architecture, color & material selection, and
landscape design within the remaining undeveloped commercial center. The approved
building elevations and design guidance are shown in Exhibit C.

Project Signage
A Master Sign Program is required for all centers with greater than three tenant spaces.
The proposed project does not include provisions and standards for future project
signage. Signage standards and location requirements have been incorporated into the
project conditions consistent with the building architecture, scale, and current City
zoning regulations (Condition CUP 10).
Atascadero Creek Setback Assessment
The City of Atascadero has established an interim creek setback of 35 -feet from the
creek reservation along Atascadero and Graves Creek. Encroachments of up to 20 -feet
from the reservation are permitted with Planning Commission approval of a Conditional
Use Permit providing that a biologist and soils survey of the adjacent area finds that the
existing and future creek conditions and locations will not be detrimental to the project
as proposed, and that encroachment into the required setback area will not negatively
affect any established riparian habitat.
According to the project biologist, the setback area is currently void of vegetation and no
sensitive species are expected to occur within the vicinity of the proposed project based
on current land conditions. The biologist also notes that the proposed landscape plan
includes revegetation of the 35 -foot setback zone and finds that no negative impacts will
occur as a result of the proposed building envelope locations.
A soils report was prepared by Buena Geotechnical Services which ®ncluded that
over -excavation out to 5 -feet beyond the outer wall footing will be required for all future
buildings. Staff has conditioned that these affected areas be landscaped consistent with
the approved creek revegetation plan and project landscape plan (Condition CUP 9).
Native Tree Removal
The site contains two native oak trees. One existing 20" dbh white oak tree is proposed
for removal. The Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance requires that the removal of native
trees be mitigated with a payment into the tree replacement fund. The applicant will be
required to submit a payment of $666.67 as conditioned and as specified in the table
below. The site plan includes the retention of a 26" white oak which will require the
construction of a tree well at a minimum of 10 -feet from the trunk of the tree to maintain
grade within the root zone. The applicant has designed a landscaped bulb -out to
accommodate these requirements. The project arborist will be required to monitor any
construction activity within the vicinity of the tree and will be required to certify that all
protection and enhancement measures were implemented as specified (Condition CUP
18).

Site Drainage
The site currently drains into Atascadero Creek. The proposed development plan
includes a drainage swale within the parking median which is designed to filter runoff
and meter the flow out to the creek. The integration of a swale from the west edge of the
parking area to the Creek is conditioned for the project to ensure appropriate filtration
prior to any run-off entering the creek. (Condition CUP 27/TTM 39)
Wastewater
The site will be served by City sewer.
Tentative Tract Map
A nine -lot tract map is proposed as part of the project consistent with the Master Plan of
Development. The Tract Mmap has been conditioned by staff and the City Engineer to
meet all City standards including street frontage improvements. The applicant will be
required to record a maintenance agreement for the map that will include maintenance
and access of common areas (Condition CUP 28).
Conditional Use Permit
As conditioned, the project is consistent with the existing General Plan land use
designation and zoning district. 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 architectural design, site design, landscape, and specific
standards of the zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission must make the following
five findings to approve a Conditional Use Permit:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of the use will not,
because of the circumstances and conditions applied in this particular case, be
detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public or persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental of injurious to the
property or improvements in the vicinity and the use.
4. The proposed use will not be inconsistent with the character of the immediate
neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development.
5. The proposed use will not generate a volume of traffic beyond the safe capacity of
all roads providing access to the project, either existing or to be improved in
conjunction with the project, or beyond the normal traffic volume of the surrounding
neighborhood that would result from full development in accordance with the Land
Use Element.
6. The project as proposed and the adjacent riparian corridor will not be negatively
impacted by the reduction in creek reservation setback.
Based on staff's analysis in the preceding sections, it appears that all of the required
findings for the granting of a Conditional Use Permit can be made.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation
of the site as a Master Plan of Development for a 13,200 square foot commercial office
center.
Proposed Environmental Determination
A proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated to the State Clearinghouse
and the public on February 2, 2004, in conformance with the California Environmental
Quality Act. Based on the findings of the initial study, staff determined that the project
does not have the potential to create any significant environmental impacts when
mitigation measures are incorporated. Staff is recommending the Commission adopt
the findings and certify the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Atascadero Municipal
Code, as analyzed within this staff report. 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 of the project.
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 conditional use permit. The Commission is
required to specify the reasons for denial of the project and make an associated
finding with such action.

RE: Biological Survey for Morro Creek Business Center, Highway 41, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo
County, California, 93422.
Dcar Mr. Gearhart:
Sierra Della Corporation ("SDC") biologist, Kelly Gillogly. conducted a site reconnaissance for the Project Site
(Morro Creek Business Center) located on Highway 41, Atascadero. California. on October 8 and again on
December 15. 2003. The Project Site is located south of Atascadero Crock, within the City of Atascadero. SDC
referenced RTC Engineering's development plans for the Projcct Site and identified the areas of proposed
development prior to the site reconnaissance. The California Natural Diversity Database ("CNDD") documents 5
sensitive species as occurring in the vicinity of the proposed project. The folloning table lists those species.

However. none of these species are expected to oocur on the projecl site based on absence of vegetation within lite
setback arca, the distance to documented occurrenex, and the absence of suitable habitat. During the site
investigation, the location of the crock and riparian areas were identified in relalion to the proposed development.
The City of Atascadero has a creek setback ordinance.. Policy 8.2 of the General Plan, which establishes setbacks
for development along crocks. This policy was recently revised to incorporate a 35 foot crock setback measured
from the creek reservation. Based on the site reconnaissance, review of documents, and lite review of the proposed
development plans. SDC found the following:
The proposed project plans to landscape up to the creek reservation, within the 35 foot setback. The
35 foot setback is currently void of vegetation. After review of the CNDD, no sensitive species are
expected to occur in the vicinity of the proposed project, based on the lands present condition, the
distance to known populations, and absence of suitable hahitat. With regards to sensitive species,
the proposed project and landscaping will have less than significant impacts to the site.
Development with the setback area should not have any negative impacts to the creek or its riparian
habitat, as the land is currently void of vegetation.
A California sycamore (Pfantamrs racemasa) was observed near the northwest corner of the site and
a valley oak (Quercus fobata) was observed on the north central portion of the Project Site. Both of
these trees are protected under the City of Atascadero's native tree ordinance requiring review
prior to construction.
Attached hereto are photographs of the proposed project setback arra. Should you have any questions or additional
information requests. please contact the undersigned at 805.239.9293.

construction or earth moving befits. Thr owner shall he responsible for maintaining an
erect farce throughout the construction period. The arborist(s). upon notification. will
inspect the fence placement ones it is erected
2. Soil Aeration Methods: Soils under the drip -lines that have been compacted
by heavy equipment xWor construction activities must be retumcd to their original state
before all work is completed. Methods include water jetting, adding organic matter. and
boring small holes with an auger (!R" deep. 2-Y apart with a 24" auger) and the
application of modeadte amounts of nitrogen fertilizer. The arborist(s) shall advise.
3. LLp Mulch: All areas within the drip -line of the Incl that cannot be fenced

all applicable District regulations pertaining to the control of fugitive dust
(PM -10) as contained in section 6.4 of the Air Quality Handbook. All site
grading and demolition plans notes shall list the following regulations:
A All material excavated or graded shall be sufficiently watered to
prevent excessive amounts of dust. Watering shall occur at least
twice daily with complete coverage, preferably in the late morning
and after work is finished for the day.
B. All clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation activities shall
cease during periods of high winds (i.e. greater than 15 mph
averaged over one hour) so as to prevent excessive amounts of
dust.
C. All material transported off-site shall be either sufficiently watered or
securely covered to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
D. The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation
operations shall be minimized so as to prevent excessive amounts
of dust.
E. Permanent dust control measured identified in the approved project
revegetation and landscape plans shall be implemented as soon as
possible following completion of any soil disturbing activities.
F. Exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked at dates
greater than one month after initial grading shall be sown with fast -
germinating native grass seed and watered until vegetation
becomes established.
G. All disturbed areas not subject to revegetation shall be stabilized
using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods
in advance by the APCD.
H. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved shall be
completed as soon as possible. In addition, structural foundations
shall be completed as soon as possible following building pad
construction.
I. On-site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 mph for any unpaved
surface.
J. All unpaved areas with vehicle traffic shall be watered at least twice
per day, using non -potable water.
K. Streets adjacent to the project site shall be swept daily to remove silt
which may have accumulated from construction activities so as to
prevent excessive amounts of dust from leaving the site.
L. Wheel washers may be required when significant offsite import or
export of fill is involved.
M. Large canopy shade trees shall be provided along street frontages
and within parking areas to shade paved areas and minimize urban
heat build-up.
Mitigation Measure 4.b.1 : Future building permit plans shall be reviewed
by a qualified biologist. The applicant shall implement any
recommendations made by the project biologist, including:
c. Revegetation within the 35 -foot creek setback.
d. Protection of the native sycamore tree at the northwest corner
of the site
