Description:
Applicant is seeking a variance to the Atascadero Municipal Code Section 9 -9-4.160,
which requires the installation of frontage roads with construction of a new single family
residential unit. The applicant is requesting relief from the requirement to cons truct the
Pinal Avenue road frontage, due the fact that Pinal Avenue is not constructed within this
area, and the project does not take access off this frontage. The road right -of-way will
be maintained for possible future access.
A Precise Plan application has been submitted for a new 1,830 square foot single-family
residence located at 7130 Serena Court. The grading plan proposes 1,650 cubic yards
of cut and 900 cubic yards of fill. 1 (one) Blue Oak and 2 (two) Valley Oaks tree are
proposed for removal, and shall be mitigated according to the Atascadero Native Tree
Ordinance. The Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed for certification by the
Planning Commission.
