Resolution No. 2015-007
Exhibit B
City of Atascadero
General Plan Housing Element
A. Introduction
1. Overview
California planning law provides more detailed requirements for the housing element than for
any other element of the General Plan. The State Legislature has found that "the availability of
housing is of vital statewide importance and that the early attainment of decent housing and a
suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order." The
housing element establishes policies for the community to ensure safe, decent housing for its
current and future residents.
Article 10.6 of the California Government Code requires each city and county to analyze
housing needs and establish goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives to meet the
identified needs. The analysis must address all economic segments (extremely low-, very low-,
low-, moderate- and above moderate-incomes) of the community, the City’s share of the
regional housing need, and the housing needs of special groups such as the elderly, disabled,
homeless, large families, and single parents. The City must either identify vacant or re-
developable sites that can provide sufficient housing to meet these needs or include programs
in the housing element to identify additional residential sites. In addition, housing elements are
subject to State review and certification.
This Housing Element includes the following information as required by State law:
1. Analysis of Atascadero’s housing needs.
2. Information on the existing housing stock, including the number, type, cost,
tenure, and structural condition of the units.
3. Analysis of land available to accommodate unmet housing needs.
4. Analysis of potential barriers to housing development, including governmental
and non-governmental constraints.
5. Information on existing subsidized or below market-rate housing units.
6. Information on energy conservation opportunities for housing construction or
rehabilitation.
7. Specific goals, measurable objectives, policies, and programs to address the
housing allocation, as required by the County Regional Housing Needs Plan.
Major housing issues and opportunities identified in Atascadero include:
1. Adequate sites for the development of housing for all economic segments of the
community.

2. Incentives to encourage private market and non-profit development of
affordable housing.
3. Integration of affordable housing into new above-moderate income residential
projects or payment of fees in-lieu of affordable housing inclusion.
4. Special needs of seniors and families.
5. Maintenance of existing housing, rehabilitation of substandard units, and
removal and replacement of substandard housing that cannot feasibly be
rehabilitated.
6. Financial resources and programs to help subsidize development, maintenance,
and rehabilitation of extremely low, very-low, low-, and moderate-income
housing.
7. Local governmental constraints on the production or rehabilitation of housing.
8. Housing and services for the homeless population.
2. Public Participation
Government Code §65583(c)(6)(B) requires the City to “make a diligent effort to achieve public
participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing
element.” Accordingly, this document incorporates input received from the general public, City
Council, Planning Commission, and other stakeholders.
Public Workshops
The City facilitated a stakeholder workshop on April 29, 2014, to solicit input by citizens from
different geographic areas and economic segments in the City, non-profit associations, financial
and real estate professionals, decision-makers, and others to provide policy guidance.
Comments brought up during public meeting included:
Housing options for extremely low and very low-income households, including
housing for the homeless, transitional housing, and group housing.
Explore use of using hotel facilities for housing
What are the penalties of not having a certified Housing Element?
Coordination of homeless services, such as warming shelters
Overnight camping in City parks and/or permanent camping site(s)
San Luis Obispo County Homeless Services Oversight Council policy
recommendations
Is there any City owned land for use for affordable housing?
Use of City’s Low-Moderate Housing Fund
Zoning allowing alternative housing types for group housing facilities.

April 20, 2014 Stakeholder Workshop
On May 20, 2014 the City held a Planning Commission workshop. The purpose of the meeting
was to provide an overview of the Housing Element update process, present the results of the
April 29, 2014 stakeholder workshop, and solicit Planning Commission feedback and direction
on policy recommendations. Policies presented for consideration and Commission direction
included:
1. Review and consider modifying the City’s Inclusionary Housing Policy
2. Establish a program to work with additional non-profit groups to facilitate
establishment of transitional housing
3. Encourage the ability to construct ‘micro homes’ consistent with the California Building
Code
4. Adjust development impact fees for second units based on size of the second unit
5. Other Planning Commission policy recommendations
The community and Planning Commission were given the opportunity to ask questions about
each policy recommendation. Comments included:
• Ensure the City’s current Inclusionary Housing Policy complies with State law with
regard to rent control

• There are different types of ‘affordable housing’, not only emergency shelters
• Recognize the growing trend in micro-homes, especially for aging baby boomers
• How to address density and sewer requirements for micro homes, should it be different?
• Second units are a great way to provide housing on large single family lots
• Supportive of reducing fees based on actual impact- smaller units have less impact
• Consider other incentives to encourage affordable housing/second units
• Need for senior housing, all levels of care

3. Consistency with Other General Plan Elements
State law requires that the General Plan and all of its elements comprise an "integrated,
internally consistent, and compatible statement of policies." The goals, policies, and programs
of this Housing Element are consistent with the goals, policies, and programs contained in other
elements of the General Plan. The Housing Element is Chapter V of the existing General Plan.
As other elements of the General Plan are updated or amended, the City will review the
Housing Element to ensure General Plan consistency is maintained.

B. Evaluation of Previous Housing Element
The previous 2007-2014 Housing Element brought the City’s Housing Element into compliance
with State law, including an amendment to the City’s Zoning Ordinance to provide adequate
sites at a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre and an emergency shelter overlay zone
to satisfy the requirements of Senate Bill 2, which addresses emergency and transitional
shelters, as well policies for reasonable accommodation, density bonus, and single room
occupancies. Another priority of the previous Housing Element was conservation and
rehabilitation of existing homes.
Table V-1 summarizes the City’s previous RHNA for the period from January 2007 through
December 2014 and the number of housing units built or approved during that planning period.
As the City did not have a certified Housing Element for the 2001-2006 period, the City needed
to account for the 769 units during the 2007-2014 period. From January 2007 through December
31, 2013, the City constructed or approved 480 units, including 31 second units. Additionally,
the City worked with People’s Self Help Housing on the construction and permitting of 24
homes for ownership, available to very-low and low-income residents. the City met the above
moderate income housing needs for the 2007-2014 planning period.
Table V-1. Progress During Previous Planning Period, 2007-2014

2007 - 2014 Remaining RHNA 390 233 206 0 829
*Second units constructed and approved were classified by income category based on square
footage. According to the San Luis Obispo Multi-Family Housing Rental Survey Summary, typical
rent in Atascadero is approximately $1.09/sf. Affordability was determined by multiplying the cost
per square foot by the square footage of a second unit.

The goals and policies contained in the previous Housing Element were generally appropriate
to meet the housing needs of the City. This updated Element builds on that foundation, while
focusing on in-fill development along the El Camino Real corridor to increase housing
opportunities. Table V-2 indicates what has been achieved and which programs should be
carried forward or deleted. However, to improve on the implementation and usability of the
document some of the policies and programs have been reworded or combined with other
programs.

65 years old. This age group represented 60 percent of householders in Atascadero in 2010.
From 2000 to 2010, the number of householders over the age of 65 increased from 20 to 22
percent, representing the highest percent growth between 2000 and 2010.
The percentage of family households fell slightly from 71 percent in 2000 to 69 percent in 2010,
while the percentage of single person households increased over the same period. The average
household size dropped from 2.62 in 2000 to 2.51 in 2010. There was a 34 percent increase in
household types of the “other” category from 2000 to 2010. See Table V-9 for detailed figures

Tenure and Vacancy
Housing tenure refers to the occupancy of a housing unit – whether the unit is owner-occupied
or renter-occupied. Housing tenure is influenced by demographic factors (e.g., household
income, composition, and age of the householder) as well as the cost of housing. As of 2010, 7
percent of Atascadero’s housing units were vacant. This is 4 percent higher than 2000, when the
vacancy rate was 43 percent. It is generally accepted that a vacancy rate of 5 to 6 percent is
healthy, thus Atascadero’s higher vacancy may be an indicator of economic problems associated
with the recession. Indicators of a strengthening housing market are seen with the increasing
home price and value, as discussed under housing affordability, in section 5 below.
Among occupied units, the percentage of owner-occupied homes decreased from 66 percent in
2000 to 59 percent in 2010. See Table V-11 for detailed figures on housing tenure.

Housing Type and Age
The majority of Atascadero homes are single-family detached. The variety of housing types has
remained similar over the period from 2000 to 2010, with growth in single-family homes
detached and slight decline in single-family homes attached. Slight increases can be seen in
multi-family units and mobile homes with a complete loss of other housing types. Table V-12

According to the U.S. Census, 49 percent of Atascadero’s housing stock was built after 1980.
Housing construction slowed from 1990 to 2010. There were 2,876 units constructed during this
period, down from 2,782 in the 1970s, but slightly higher than the 2,647 housing units
constructed in the 1980s. See Table V-13 for a breakdown of Atascadero housing units by year

3. Housing Conditions
City staff conducted a visual housing conditions survey in June 2009. To complete the survey,
the City randomly selected and evaluated 200 properties and found that all but three were
structurally sound. Utilizing the same methodology, Staff re-reviewed the same 200 properties
from the 2009 survey. A total of two properties were found not to be structurally sound, yet
required only minor repairs. The survey was conducted through a windshield assessment that
rated the physical condition of a unit in one of the following categories:
- Foundation,
- Roofing,
- Siding/Stucco,
- Windows, and;
- Electrical.
4. Housing Costs
Median Home Price
According to the real estate website, Trulia.com, the median home sales price in Atascadero
between January and April, 2014, was $365,000. Historical home price data from Central Coast
Lending shows that home sales prices have remained relatively steady since 2013, when median
price in April 2013 was $368,000, a 16.9 percent increase from 2012. Overall, the housing market
is recovering from the overall price floor in 2011, of $302,500, a 41.8 percent drop from peak
prices in 2005 ($520,000). See Figure V-1 for a comparison of median home prices in Atascadero
and San Luis Obispo County from 2003 to 2012.

Median Rent
According to the 2010-2012 U.S. Census ACS 3-year estimates, the median rent in Atascadero
was $1,109 per month. More than half of all renters in Atascadero are cost burdened. See Table
15 for more information on renter cost burden.
Low and Extremely Low-Income Housing Needs
Lower income households (earning 80 percent or less of the area’s median household income)
generally have higher incidence of housing problems and overpayment (paying 30 percent or
more of income for housing costs). Table V-14 shows what percentages of low, very-low, and
extremely low-income (ELI) households in Atascadero have housing problems, as well as those
overpaying for housing.
Extremely low-income households earn 30 percent or less of median household income. Of the
10,737 households in the City, 960 households (620 renters and 340 owners) have household
incomes less than 30 percent of median income (about 8.9 percent of total households). As Table
V-14 illustrates, these households have a high percentage of housing problems, with the
majority (80 percent) cost burdened, and between 60 and 70 percent extremely cost burdened
(greater than 50 percent of household income on housing costs). Very-low income households
are similarly cost burdened, with over 90 percent of very-low income renters spending greater
than 30 percent of household income on housing costs. Tables V-15 and V-16 discuss the
overpayment in Atascadero by tenure.
The current RHNA estimates the City of Atascadero will need to accommodate 98 very-low
income housing units between 2014 and 2019. Based on the State law methodology, the City
estimates that 50 percent of very-low-income households are extremely low-income (ELI)
households. Therefore, it is projected that the City will need to accommodate 49 ELI
households.

Overpayment
According to federal government standards, paying over 30 percent of income for housing costs
is considered to be cost-burdened, and spending more than 50 percent of household income is
extremely cost burdened. In Atascadero, overpayment is particularly problematic for renters.
An estimated 8.4 percent of renters pay between 30 and 34.9 percent of household income on
rent and 47 percent of renters pay more than 35 percent of household income on rent. See Table
V-15.

5. Housing Affordability
Housing affordability in Atascadero can be inferred by comparing the cost of renting or owning
a home with the income levels of households of different sizes. Table V-17 shows the annual
income ranges for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. Table
V-18 shows the maximum affordable monthly rental payment based on the standard of 30
percent (as defined by HUD) of household income going towards housing costs. The table also
displays the maximum affordable home sale or rental price based on income category and unit
size.
Homes priced at the 2014 median sales prices of $365,000 for Atascadero are affordable only to
households in the upper end of the moderate-income range. Thus home ownership is out of
range for many moderate and all low-, very low- and extremely low-income households.
Average rents are affordable for moderate income households but are unaffordable without
overpayment or overcrowding for households earning at the extremely low-, very low-, and
low-income levels.

6. At-Risk Units
State law requires that Housing Elements include an inventory and analysis of assisted multi-
family housing units “at risk” of conversion to market-rate housing. The inventory must
account for all units for which subsidies expire within the planning period for the Housing
Element update. The potential loss of existing affordable housing units is an important issue to
the City due to potential displacement of lower-income tenants and the limited alternative
housing options available for such persons. It is typically less expensive to preserve the
affordability of existing units than to subsidize construction of new affordable units due to the
rising cost of land and construction.
In Atascadero, there are no units currently at risk of converting from affordable to market rate.
In 2011, the new owner of California Manor, a 95-unit, multi-family rental property formerly at
risk of converting from affordable units to market rate, was awarded 9 percent State Low-
Income Tax Credit financing for acquisition and rehabilitation to maintain the unit affordability.
Currently, the tax credits have been awarded, but the owners have not submitted
documentation signifying the completion of rehabilitation. As part of the purchase agreement
for financing of the transfer of ownership, the owner agreed to maintain the affordability of the
units for an additional 30 years. Renovations will include the installation of a new roof, ADA
accessibility upgrades, concrete siding, energy-efficient appliances, carpet, linoleum, cabinets,
countertops, HVAC, and lighting.

E. Special Housing Needs
Certain members of the population encounter unique difficulties in finding appropriate housing
due to special circumstances. Special circumstances may be related to one’s employment type
and income, family characteristics, medical condition or disability, and/or household
characteristics. Table V-19 lists special needs populations. This section discusses the housing
needs for each group and identifies the major programs available to address their housing and
services needs.

1. Senior Households
Senior households are included in those with special housing needs due to the likelihood of
limited income, physical disabilities, or higher health care costs.
As illustrated in Table V-20, 2,319 Atascadero households (22 percent) were headed by seniors
(persons age 65 years and older) in 2010. The number of seniors is expected to continue to grow
as the percentage of residents in the 55 to 64 year age range increased by21 percent in the period
from 2000 to 2010. In Atascadero, about 64 percent of senior householders were homeowners in
2010.

According to the 2006-2010 ACS, approximately 53 percent of senior households earn less than
$50,000 annually, with 28 percent earning less than $30,000 per year. This is less than 50 percent
of the median household income for the City of Atascadero, $65,479 (Table V-21). The same
report estimates 5.1 percent of senior households are living below the poverty line.
As stated above, seniors typically have special needs due to disabilities, health care needs, and
fixed incomes. Seniors may also require assistance with domestic chores and activities such as
driving, cooking, cleaning, showering, or climbing stairs. For elderly people who live alone or
don’t have relatives to care for them, the need for assistance may not be met.
The special needs of seniors can by met through congregate care, rent subsidies, shared
housing, and housing rehabilitation assistance. For the frail or disabled elderly, housing with
architectural design features that accommodate disabilities can help extend the ability to live
independently. In addition, seniors with mobility/ self-care limitations benefit from
transportation options. As of 2014, there are twelve residential and group care facilities offering
171 units in Atascadero. The facilities offer a range in level of assistance and community
structure. Refer to Table V-22 for a detailed list of senior housing facilities.
In meeting the needs of the increasing elderly population, the following factors must be
considered:
• Limited remaining sites suitably zoned for senior housing;
• Decreasing State and Federal funding to provide additional housing for seniors; and
• Physical and/or other restrictions that may limit seniors’ ability to maintain their
own health and the condition of their home.

2. Persons with Disabilities
Persons with disabilities have special housing needs because of employment and income
challenges, the need for accessible and appropriate housing, and higher health care costs. A
disability is defined broadly by the U.S. Census Bureau as a physical, mental, or emotional
condition that lasts over a long period of time and makes it difficult to live independently. The
U.S. Census collects data for several categories of disability. These categories are defined below:
General disabilities:
• Sensory disability: Blindness, deafness, or a severe vision or hearing impairment.
• Physical disability: A condition that substantially limits one or more basic physical
activities such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying.
Disabilities lasting six months or more:
• Mental disability: Difficulty learning, remembering, or concentrating.
• Self-care disability: Difficulty dressing, bathing, or getting around inside the home.
• Independent- living disability: Difficulty going outside the home alone to shop or visit a
doctor’s office.
In 2010, there were 2,053 non-institutionalized persons in Atascadero living with a disability
(Table V-23). Approximately 50 percent of all persons with disabilities are over the age of 65,
and thus face additional housing needs, as described in the previous section.

Persons with Developmental Disabilities
According to Section 4512 of the Welfare and Institutions Code a “dDevelopmental disability”
means a disability that originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be
expected to continue , indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual,
which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. This term shall also
include disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation or to require
treatment similar to that required for individuals with mental retardation, but shall not include
other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature.
Many persons with developmental disabilities can live and work independently within a
conventional housing environment. Individuals with more severe developmental disabilities
require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected
individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical
therapy are provided. Because developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue
in supportive housing for the persons with developmental disabilities is transition from the
person’s living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult.
The State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) currently provides community-based
services to approximately 243,000 persons with developmental disabilities and their families
through a statewide system of 21 regional centers, four developmental centers, and two
community-based facilities. The Tri-Counties Regional Center (TCRC) is one of 21 regional
centers in the State of California that provides point of entry to services for people with
developmental disabilities who reside in Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo
Counties. TCRC is a private, non-profit community agency that contracts with local businesses
to offer a wide range of services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their
families.
As of 2014, TCRC served approximately 11,500 people in their three-county area, with 280 staff
members. Table V-24 shows the number of individuals served by TCRC in the 93422 zip code,
which includes the City of Atascadero. (Note: The boundary of this zip code extends beyond the
borders of Atascadero city limits.)
There are a number of housing types appropriate for people living with a development
disability: rent subsidized homes, licensed and unlicensed single-family homes, inclusionary
housing, Section 8 vouchers, special programs for home purchase, HUD housing, and SB 962
homes. The design of housing-accessibility modifications, proximity to services and transit, and
availability of group living opportunities represent the types of considerations important in
serving this need group. Incorporating ‘barrier-free’ design in all, new multifamily housing (as
required by California and Federal Fair Housing laws) is especially important to provide the

widest range of choices for disabled residents. Special consideration should also be given to
affordability of housing, as people with disabilities may be living on a fixed income.

3. Large Families and Overcrowding
A household of five or more persons is considered to be a large family. In 2010, nine percent of
Atascadero households had five or more persons. Large households may experience difficulty
in finding suitable units, particularly renter-occupied households, which are much less likely to
find three or more bedroom units. See Table V-25 for household size by tenure for Atascadero.

Total 9,797 (91%) 940 (9%) 10,737

Overcrowding is defined as more than one person per room not including kitchens and
bathrooms. Overcrowding can occur when housing costs are high relative to income where
families must double up or reside in smaller units, which tend to be more affordable, to devote
income to other basic living needs. This is often a problem for large families but can also occur
in smaller households when income is too low to afford adequate housing. Overcrowding also
tends to result in accelerated deterioration of homes, a shortage of off-street parking, increased
strain on public infrastructure, and additional traffic congestion. As illustrated in Table V-26,
in 2010, 0.9 percent of owner-occupied households in Atascadero were overcrowded and 6.3
percent of renter-occupied households were overcrowded, of these less than one percent was
extremely overcrowded.

4. Single-Parent Households
As of 2010, sixteen percent (1,723) of Atascadero households were single-parent families, 69
percent (1,185) of which are headed by women with no husband present. Housing problems for
this group can be significant. Any household with only one person able to earn wages is at a
significant disadvantage in the housing market and single parents may have to take more time
off from work to care for their children. Single-parent households are at a higher risk of
becoming homeless because of lower incomes and the lack of affordable housing and support
services. Planning for housing development to serve single-parent families may require on-site
child-care facilities. Housing needs of single-parent households is an important issue in
Atascadero.

Female Head of Households
According to the U.S. Census, Atascadero had 3,005 female head of households in 2010. Female
householders made up 37 percent of all householders in Atascadero in 2010. Female-headed
households have unique housing needs due to a single source of income and greater cost
burden. More female-headed households live below the poverty line than other family type,
which emphasizes their need for affordable housing. The U.S. Census estimates 17.2 percent of
single parent female- headed households in Atascadero are living below the poverty line, 11
percent higher than family households.

5. Persons in Need of Emergency Shelter
State housing element law requires the analysis of the special housing requirements of persons
and families in need of emergency shelter and identification of adequate sites that will be made
available with appropriate zoning and development standards, and with public services and
facilities needed to facilitate the development of emergency shelters and transitional housing.
According to the 2000 U.S. Census, there were approximately 184 homeless persons in
Atascadero. More recently, initial data from the January 2013 San Luis Obispo County
Homeless Enumeration Report Point in Time Survey estimates a homeless population of 2,186
in San Luis Obispo County. This represents a 3 percent increase in the homeless population in
San Luis Obispo County from 2011. Based on this count, the Homeless Services Oversight
Council (HSOC) estimates 3,497 persons will be without shelter at some point during the year.
Of those surveyed in the County, 571 were chronically homeless, 71 percent lived in San Luis
Obispo County before becoming homeless, 82 percent were unsheltered, 49 percent indicated
having some mental illness, 12 percent were minors, and 9 percent were between 18 and 24
years old. Note: Consistent with HUD definition of homeless, the HSOC did not include
families living doubled up with other families or those living in RV or trailer parks in the count
of homeless.
There were 466 homeless identified in (21 percent) located in North County, including 96 in the
City of Atascadero. The majority of homeless in North County were living on the streets, with
16 percent in an emergency or transitional shelter.
Atascadero participates in local efforts to assist the homeless and those in need of temporary
shelter. Atascadero amended its Zoning Ordinance to allow for an Emergency Shelter Overlay
Zone. This Zone provides an area where an emergency shelters may be permitted without a
Conditional Use Permit in compliance with Senate Bill 2. Currently, one site is zoned and
operating under the Emergency Shelter Overlay Zone (APN 030-341-013) with a maximum
capacity of 50 beds. Prior to the Zoning amendment to permit emergency shelters at this site,
Public Review Draft Page 40 July 19, 2014

Resolution No. 2015-007

General Plan Housing Element
the emergency shelter was ‘at risk’ of permanent closure. To ensure the new ordinance was not
overly restrictive, the City worked closely with El Camino Housing Organization (ECHO), a
non-profit organization that addresses homelessness issues and, operates this facility.
6. Farmworkers
The number of farmworkers in Atascadero is difficult to quantify as U.S. Census data frequently
underestimates this population. However, according to 2010 U.S. Census data, 180 members of
the Atascadero population were employed in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and
mining. This represents approximately one percent of the total population. From 2000 to 2010,
the number of residents working under this Census category increased about 53 percent.
The City has approximately 43.82 acres of designated “agriculture”, comprising of 5 separate
parcels currently under one owner. These parcels are being utilized as a Christmas tree farm to
grow and sell seasonal Christmas trees. Atascadero Municipal Code section 9-3.122 (o) allows
for “farm labor quarters” as a permitted use, where no Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is
required, in all Agriculture zones. Agriculture uses are conditionally allowed in the RS zone for
uses such as crop production and grazing. This category is defined as “Agricultural uses
including the production of grains, field crops, vegetables, melons, fruits, tree nuts, flower fields
and seed production, tree and sod farms, crop services and crop harvesting. Also includes the
raising or feeding of beef cattle, sheep and goats by grazing or pasturing.” This type of use may
require farm labor quarters and may be included as a part of a CUP. Program 4.1.6 has been
included to ensure the City complies with the Employee Housing Act, and permits farmworker
housing for six or fewer employees as a single family residential use and for up to 12 units, or
36 beds, as an agricultural use subject to same level of review as other agricultural uses in the
same zone.
While there are very few agricultural parcels in the city, Atascadero is surrounded by land
devoted to agricultural uses, including vineyards. It is likely that farmworkers may be housed
on-site at agricultural operations outside Atascadero. Because of the limited need for
farmworker housing, the City’s current method of permitting Farmworker housing and the
overall approach to affordable housing meets existing need.

F. Housing Resources
As part of housing element law, the State has adopted a process for determining each local
jurisdiction’s fair share of regional housing needs. The process begins with the State
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) meeting with each regional
council of governments to determine the need for new housing in that region. The regional
council of governments is then required to determine the share of the housing need that should
be assigned to each city and county in the region. The allocation includes a share of housing
needs for all income levels (California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5): very low
income (less than 50 percent of the area median income); low income (50-80 percent of median
income); moderate income (80-120 percent of median income); and above moderate income
(more than 120 percent of median income).
1. Regional Housing Needs Allocation
SLOCOG and HCD determined that the County has a need for 4,090 new housing units during
the period from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2019. SLOCOG allocated shares of this need to cities
by calculating each city’s share of the projected increase in the number of jobs and households
during that period. This is called the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA).
Cities are not expected to actually produce this number of units; it is assumed that housing
production will be carried out primarily by the private sector and will be affected by market
conditions and other factors beyond a city’s control. However, the City must create conditions
through zoning and land use policies that would allow the private sector to construct the
targeted number of units. Cities can employ a variety of strategies to meet their RHNA housing
production goals, as provided in Government Code Section 65583(c)(1)).
2014 – 2019 Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The 2014 -2019 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for Atascadero is shown in Table
V-29. The number of new units approved or constructed since the start of the projection period,
starting January 2014, can reduce the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Since January 2014,
there have been 81 units constructed or approved in the City of Atascadero, including 30 units
affordable to moderate income households. See Section B. for a discussion on units constructed
or permitted during the previous cycle, including 24 very-low and low-income units in 2013 as
part of the People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH) project in Oak Grove.

2. Site Inventory and Analysis
Local governments can employ a variety of development strategies to meet their RHNA
housing production goals, as provided in Government Code Section 65583(c)(1)). In addition to
identifying vacant or underutilized land resources, local governments can address a portion of
their adequate sites requirement through the provision of second units. This section
summarizes the vacant land inventory, underutilized sites, and second unit potential.
Vacant Sites
Table V-30 shows a summary of vacant land in Atascadero. A complete list is available in
Appendix I. The table shows that there are 578 vacant parcels on approximately 1,857 acres
suitable for residential development that have the capacity to accommodate approximately
1,353 homes at 80 percent of maximum buildout, or maximum allowed per a Specific Plan, for
the multi-family parcels and 100 percent buildout for the single-family parcels where one house
per lot is assumed. The 80 percent buildout factor is based on historical trends and the
assumption that development standards combined with unique site features may not always
lead to 100 percent buildout. There may also be political barriers to full development. There are
adequate vacant sites to meet the City’s RHNA of 312, including the 160 very-low and low
income units at minimum densities of 20 units per acre in the High Density Residential Multi-
Family (HD-RMF) zone. See Table V-31 for a summary of vacant land by income category to
satisfy the RHNA.

3. Infrastructure Resources
Infrastructure adds to the cost of new construction (e.g. major and local streets, water and sewer
lines, and street lighting). Water and sewer service capacity is discussed below.
Water Service
Water service in the City is supplied by the Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC).
AMWC manages the water supply that consists of 17 active wells that pump from the
Atascadero sub-basin of the Paso Robles Ground Water Basin and both riparian and
appropriated Salinas River underflow. Maximum well production is 12.9 million gallons per
day.
AMWC service area encompasses hundreds of undeveloped parcels, AMWC’s future plans
include a reliable water supply for an increased population. With approval of the Nacimiento
Water Project, the AMWC has been allocated an additional 3,000 AFY, with a flow rate of 3.48
million gallons per day (mgd). The Nacimiento Water Project broke ground in 2007 and the
1 One parcel in this zone allowed 2 units
Public Review Draft Page 44 July 19, 2014
City of Atascadero
Resolution No. 2015-007
Exhibit B
City of Atascadero
General Plan Housing Element
construction of the infrastructures needed to deliver water to the Atascadero area is complete.
AMWC began taking deliveries of water in the summer of 2012. The City analyzed the capacity
of existing water resources and determined that gGiven the existing water supply and that
which will result from the Nacimiento Water Project, the existing water supply is not a
constraint to growth in the City and is available for all vacant zones within the City to
accommodate the City’s RHNA. However, as a result of the Nacimiento Water Project
connection fees, water rates have increased gradually 2 to help pay for the cost of the additional
water source.
The City recognizes that the region is currently going through a period of extreme drought in
2012 through the beginning of 2014. While the primary basin, the Paso Robles Ground Water
Basin, is experiencing decline in many areas, the Atascadero Sub-basin is a hydro-geologically
distinct sub-basin that is separated from the primary basin by the Rinconada Fault line and has
not experienced the level of decline when compared to the Paso Robles Ground Water Basin
Due to the increase in the cost of water service to ensure a reliable water supply, the City
recognizes that the connection fees for water is critical for the development of affordable
housing. Program 1.1-9 is proposed by the City to work with AMWC to explore possible
options to ease the burden of water service fees for second units and other affordable housing
projects.
Wastewater
Residential development in the City of Atascadero relies on both the City’s wastewater
treatment facilities and on-site septic systems. Approximately 50% of Atascadero’s residents
use the Collection and Treatment service. The City’s Wastewater Division maintains a 2.39
million gallon-per-day (mgd) wastewater treatment facility, over 40 miles of pipeline, and 13
wastewater-pumping stations. The treatment plant operates at approximately 60 percent
capacity, which results in an average daily flow of 1.4 mgd. Minor upgrades have been
approved for the treatment plant facility,3 but no expansions are planned for increasing the
treatments capacity.
Average daily flow for residential use is 100 gallons per capita per day. Based on the average
household size of 2.02 persons, the daily flow is 0.0002 mgd per household. The average daily
flow of the projected housing need (RHNA) is well within the capacity of the upgraded
wastewater treatment system.
4. Administrative Resources
El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO)
2 Water rates are planned to increase by 8% (net) per year over four years beginning on January 1, 2008. There are two more years of
8% rate increases. After that, water rates will increase based on inflation or other typical increases in operation and maintenance costs
(i.e. increase energy costs, treatment chemical costs, labor rates, etc.) (Source: pers. comm. John Neil, Atascadero Mutual Water
Company General Manager, July 22, 2009.)

People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH)
People's Self-Help Housing is a diverse, nonprofit organization committed to furthering
opportunities for decent, safe, affordable housing and support services in San Luis Obispo,
Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties. PSHH has two primary programs – Self Help
Homeownership Program and a Rental Housing Development and Construction Services
Program. Additionally, PSHH also administers the Supportive Housing Program assisting
residents with accessing community services and provides home ownership counseling. Since
its inception in the 1960s, PSHH has developed more than 1,100 homes and 1,400 rental units
and assisted in the rehabilitation and repair of more than 3,000 housing units. PSHH has
constructed 15 affordable home-ownership properties and currently owns and operates
Atascadero Gardens, a 17-unit affordable rental complex. The purchase of this building in 1999
prevented a pending conversion to market rate units and tenant displacement. PSHH also
assisted in the development of 15 homes in 1975. Since 2012, PSHH has been developing a tract
of 24 single-family residential homes in El Camino Oaks subdivision (Oakgrove Phase II) that
fell into foreclosure. Since 2013, PSHH has purchased an 11 unit subdivision tract on Atascadero
Avenue from a bankruptcy auction and is working with City Staff to commence construction
for additional very-low and low-income housing units. It is estimated construction for the
additional 11 affordable single-family residential units will begin in late 2014/early 2015.
Transitional Food and Shelter
Transitional Food and Shelter is a charitable organization operating throughout San Luis
Obispo County. The organization has three primary programs, shelter, food, and family-to-
family assistance. The organization provides temporary, emergency shelter in motels and
apartments in the North County, for homeless persons who are fragile, sick, and/or disabled.
The program provides relief for those who cannot be accommodated in more traditional

homeless shelters. The organization also operates “The People’s” kitchen of Paso Robles,
serving food nightly to homeless and/or hungry.
5. Financial Resources
Availability of Financing
The availability of financing affects the ability to purchase or improve homes. In the Atascadero
area 4, 2,851 applications for loans were received in 2012, of which 2,324 were conventional
loans. Of the 2,324 conventional loan applications, 1,906 were refinancing, 379 were for home
purchase, and 39 were for home improvements. Of the 418 conventional loan applications for
home purchase or repair, only 2 percent were denied, 13 percent were withdrawn or not
accepted by applicant, and 53 percent were approved and accepted.
There were 296 applications for government assisted home purchase or improvement loans
(VA, FHA, FSA/RHS) in 2012. This is significantly higher than the number of applicants in
2007, 7 total. Of these, 176, or 60 percent of government assisted loans were approved and
accepted by the applicant.
Most (60 percent) applicants for government assisted loans had an annual income of less than
the median income of $75,400 in 2012. Conversely, over 62 percent of conventional loan
applicants earned greater than the County median income. However, 46 percent of all
originated loans were awarded and accepted by applicants with less than median household
income, demonstrating equal availability of financing for upper and lower-income households
and there are no mortgage deficient segments of the community.
Local Housing Funds
Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee Funds
The City’s inclusionary housing program offers the option of paying a fee in lieu of building
affordable housing for projects of 10 units or less. Fees deposited into the account may be used
in the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Following the March
2012 dedication of $100,000 to the North County Connection and $255,000 to El Camino
Homeless Organization to support property acquisition for emergency, transitional, and
affordable housing services, the Fund has a remaining balance of approximately $82,000.
San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund
Another source of local housing funding is through the San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust
Fund (SLOCHTF), which is a private nonprofit corporation created to increase the supply of
affordable housing in San Luis Obispo County for very low, low, and moderate income
households. SLOCHTF provides financing and technical assistance to help private developers,
nonprofit corporations and government agencies produce and preserve homes that working
families, seniors on fixed incomes and persons with disabilities can afford to rent or buy. More
information on SLOCHTF can be found at www.slochtf.org.
4 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data is based off census tracts. The census tracts that cover the City of Atascadero
also encompass the unincorporated area surrounding the City.

5.6. Other Resources
Many programs within the State of California exist to provide financial assistance to the City
and to individual developers for the development, preservation, and rehabilitation of
residential development; primarily affordable units. The Department of Housing and
Community Development identifies and provides detailed information on the grants and loans
available for affordable housing, which include:
Affordable Housing Innovation Fund
The Affordable Housing Innovation Fund provides funding for pilot programs to demonstrate
innovative, cost-saving approaches to creating or preserving affordable housing. Legislation in
2007 (SB 586, Chapter 652) allocated these funds to four new activities and to the revival of the
Local Housing Trust Fund program originally created by Proposition 46. Key programs are:

G. Constraints on Housing Production
Government policies and regulations impact the price and availability of housing and, in
particular, the provision of affordable housing. Constraints include residential development
standards, fees, and permitting procedures. Providing infrastructure and services also increases
the cost of producing housing. This Chapter addresses potential governmental and
nongovernmental constraints and focuses on mitigation options available to the City.
1. Governmental Constraints
Although local governments have little influence on such market factors as interest rates and
availability of funding for development, their policies and regulations can affect both the
amount of residential development that occurs and the affordability of housing. Since
governmental actions can constrain development and affordability of housing, State law
requires the Housing Element to “address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove
governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing.”
Land Use Controls
The City’s primary policies and regulations that affect residential development and housing
affordability include: Title 9 (the City’s Planning and Zoning Regulations), the General Plan, the
Atascadero Downtown Revitalization Plan, the Appearance Review Manual, development
processing procedures and fees, on and off-site improvement requirements, and building codes.
In addition to a review of these policies and regulations, an analysis of governmental
constraints on housing production for persons with disabilities is included in this Section.
Planning and Zoning Regulations
Title 9, the City’s Planning and Zoning Regulations, allows residential development in the
agriculture zone, 4 residential zones, 2 downtown zones, 4 commercial zones, 2 industrial
zones, and 3 recreation and public zones. The maximum residential density allowed is 24 units
per acre. Title 9 does not include specific development standards for the Rural Residential zone
that is identified on the Zoning Map. Program 1.1-6 has been proposed to codify the Rural
Residential zone into Title 9 and include zoning standards that distinguish it from the
Residential Suburban zone.
Agriculture (A) Zone. This zone is established to protect, preserve, and encourage agriculture
on suitable land. Agriculture related residential uses are permitted including single-family
dwellings, primary family housing, and farm labor quarters. The A zone corresponds to the
Agriculture (AG) land use designation of the General Plan.
Public Review Draft Page 53 July 19, 2014

Exhibit B
City of Atascadero
General Plan Housing Element
Rural Residential (RR) Zone. This zone is established for large lot single-family residential
uses. The General Plan details a maximum allowable density of 0.4 units per acre. The RR zone
corresponds to the Rural Residential (RR), Rural Estate (RE), Suburban Estate (SE), and
Agriculture (AG) land use designations of the General Plan.
Residential Suburban (RS) Zone. This zone is established for large lot single-family residential
uses. Second units are permitted by right in the RS zone, subject to specific development
standards identified in Chapter 5 of Title 9. The maximum allowable density is 0.4 units per
acre. The RS zone corresponds to the Rural Residential (RR), Rural Estate (RE), Suburban Estate
(SE), and Agriculture (AG) land use designations of the General Plan.
Residential Single Family (RSF) Zone. This zone is established to provide for single-family
residential areas within the urban service line. Second units are permitted by right in the RSF
zone, subject to specific development standards identified in Chapter 5 of Title 9. The RSF is
divided into 3 categories based on minimum lot sizes, RSF-X, RSF-Y, RSF-Z; and density ranges
from 0.5 - 2.0 units per acre. Density may be increased to 4 units per acre with a Planned
Development in the RSF-X zone. The RSF zone corresponds to the Single-Family Residential
(SFR) land use designation of the General Plan, which includes the sub-land use designations
SFR-Z, SFR-Y, SFR-X.
Limited Single Family (LSF) Zone. This zone is established for single-family residential where
raising of farm animals is not allowed. Second units are permitted by right in the LSF zone,
subject to specific development standards identified in Chapter 5 of Title 9. The LSF is divided
into 3 categories based on the minimum lot size, LSF-X, LSF-Y, LSF-Z; and density ranges from
0.5 - 2.0 units per acre. The LSF zone corresponds to the Single-Family Residential (SFR) land
use designation of the General Plan, which includes the sub-land use designations SFR-Z, SFR-
Y, SFR-X.
Residential Multiple Family (RMF) Zone. This zone is established for apartment,
condominium, and townhouse development. The maximum allowable density for areas
designated Low Density Multiple Family Residential (RMF-10) is 10 units per acre; for areas
designated High Density Multiple Family Residential (RMF-1620) is 16 24 units per acre; and for
hillside areas the density ranges from 1 - 20 units per acre depending on average slope (density
exceptions exist for group quarters and nursing facilities). The RMF zone corresponds to the
Medium-Density Residential (MDR) and High-Density Residential (HDR) land use designations
of the General Plan.
Downtown Commercial (DC) Zoning District. This zone is established to enhance the
economic viability and pedestrian-oriented character of downtown. Residential uses are
permitted on upper floors in the DC zoning district. Home occupations and live/work projects
are also encouraged in the DC zoning district. The maximum allowable density is 20 units per
acre. The DC zone corresponds to the Downtown (D) land use designation of the General Plan.
Downtown Office (DO) Zoning District. This zone is established for professional and other
office uses close to the services provided in the DC zoning district. Residential uses are
permitted on upper floors in the DO zoning district. The maximum allowable density is 20

units per acre. The DO zoning district corresponds to the Downtown (D) land use designation
of the General Plan.
Commercial Professional (CP) Zone. This zone is established for limited retail shopping and
personal service facilities. It allows mixed-use with residential up to 24 units per acre with a
conditional use permit. Caretaker residences are also permitted conditionally. The CP zone
corresponds to the General Commercial (GC) and Mixed Use (MU) land use designations of the
General Plan.
Commercial Retail (CR) Zone. This zone is established for a wide range of commercial uses to
accommodate retail and service needs; however, it does allow residential care facilities for the
elderly (RCFE) and conditionally permit caretaker residences, mixed-use with residential up to
24 units per acre, and single room occupancy. The CR zone corresponds to the General
Commercial (GC) and Mixed Use (MU) land use designations of the General Plan.
Commercial Service (CS) Zone. This zone is established for light manufacturing and large lot
service commercial, however it does conditionally permit caretaker residences or multifamily
dwellings within an existing structure of historical significance. The CS zone corresponds to the
Service Commercial (SC) land use designation of the General Plan.
Commercial Tourism (CT) Zone. This zone is established for limited commercial uses for
Highway 101 travelers; however, it does conditionally permit caretaker residences. The CT zone
corresponds to the General Commercial (GC) land use designation of the General Plan.
Industrial Park (IP) Zone. This zone is established for light manufacture and large lot service
commercial; however, it does conditionally permit caretaker residences. The IP zone
corresponds to the Industrial (IND) land use designation of the General Plan.
Industrial (I) Zone. This zone is established for heavy manufacture and industrial uses;
however, it does conditionally permit caretaker residences. The I zone corresponds to the
Industrial (IND) land use designation of the General Plan.
Recreation (L) Zone. This zone provides suitable locations for recreational facilities; however, it
does conditionally permit caretaker residences. The L zone corresponds to the RR, RE, SE, SFR,
MDR, HDR, Public Recreation (REC), Public Facilities (PUB), and Open Space (OS) land use
designation of the General Plan.
Special Recreation (LS) Zone. This zone provides suitable locations for recreational facilities on
land in private ownership. This zone also provides for residential uses where intensive
recreational activity may not be appropriate. The maximum allowable density for residential is
0.7 unit per acre (sewer not available) or 1 unit per acre (sewer is present). Additionally, the LS
zone allows caretaker residence with a conditional use permit. The LS zone corresponds to the
Commercial Recreational (CREC) land use designation of the General Plan.
Public (P) Zone. This zone provides suitable locations for public and quasi-public facilities,
however, it does conditionally permit single family, residential care, and caretaker residences.
The maximum allowable density for residential is 0.4 unit per acre. The P zone corresponds to

the RR, RE, SE, SFR, MDR, HDR, CREC, REC, PUB, and OS land use designation of the General
Plan.
Planned Development (PD) Overlays. The City has established 30 overlays (PD 1 - 12 and 14 -
31) to allow for special use standards that differ from those established by the underlying zone.
The maximum allowable density is 24 units per acre. Planned Development Overlays are
typically used to allow for individual lot ownership units in multi-family zones and clustered
residential development in rural areas to achieve minimal environmental impacts and reduced
infrastructure costs.
Emergency Shelter (ES) Overlay. The City established an emergency shelter overlay zone in
2013 which allows emergency shelters by right on specific sites, subject to operational and
development standards. In 2013 one ES site was designated at 6370 Atascadero Avenue for the
El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) shelter.
Table V-32 summarizes the General Plan land use designations and the zoning districts that
either allow by right or conditionally permit residential development. In 2013, the City
amended the zoning ordinance to allow residential densities up to 24 units per acre in the RMF-
20 Zone and up to 20 units per acre in the DC and DO zones.

Notes:
1. Density is adjusted by performance standards in this land use designation. The maximum density may be lower
based on the application of performance standards.
2. The maximum density sets a limit to the number of units that may be developed in each land use designation. The
General Plan also sets minimum lots size areas that are allowed through the subdivision process consistent with the
"Elbow Room" principle. The minimum lot sizes are more restrictive than the maximum densities in order to reflect
historic small lot development densities and to allow for new planned development projects that incorporate smaller
lot sizes with innovative design concepts.

2. RMF Zone – CUP required for projects over 12 units, excluding RMF-20 properties identified in Appendix I. RMF-20 properties identified
in Appendix I are allowed by right, not subject to a CUP or specific plan. DC and DO Zones - Residential uses allowed only on second and
third floor, except sites north of Olmeda Avenue. If project is required to provide a unit in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act,
the handicapped accessible unit may be located on a first floor. A first floor unit shall be located in a non-storefront location within a tenant

3. Permitted use if the residential quarters are located on the second or third floors.
4. Conditional Use Permit required if the residential quarters are located on the first floor.
5. A skilled nursing facility (also referred to as medical extended care) is a board and care home for residents, where no medical care is
provided, and is subject to all applicable standards for multiple family dwellings.
6. Use allowed only on sites north of Olmeda Avenue.
7. When located on second floor or above
As shown in Table V-33, zoning regulations are not a constraint to development of multi-family
or affordable housing. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement for mutli-family projects
greater than 12 units does not apply to multi-family projects in the RMF-20 zone under single
property ownership or when used as income property. CUP requirements in the RFM-20 zone
apply for subdivisions and planned development. Program 1.1.20 has been included to amend
the zoning ordinance to require a CUP only for multi-family housing projects greater than 50
units, to ensure minimum densities are achievable in the RFM-20 zone.
Table V-34 provides development standards for the residential zones and Table V-35 provides
the development standards in the Downtown Zones. Minimum parcel size and setback
requirements in Atascadero are not unusually strict and are not considered a constraint to the
development of affordable housing. The height limit in residential zones has proven not to
impede development or discourage density. The Hidden Oaks Apartments and Southside Villas
condominium projects, 90 and 86 units, respectively, achieved densities over 20 units per acre
while meeting the 30 foot, two story height restriction. The Emerald Ridge condominium
development, approved in 2004, also met the height requirement while achieving a density of
18 units per acre with 132 units on 7.3 acres. Program 1.18 proposes to amend the Zoning
Ordinance to allow a waiver of the two-story height limit in the RMF Zone through the Minor
Use Permit process. Its process is similar to that of a major CUP but the fee of a MUP is
substantially decreased from a CUP ($1,090 and $3,910, respectively)5. Both a MUP and a CUP
go through the Design Review Committee then the Planning Commission for approval. The
MUP process normally takes between two to six months and allows for review of the building
height by the City’s Fire Department for health, safety, and welfare reasons. A typical major
CUP may take six months up to one year. With the reduction of fees and expedited processing,
the MUP allows for the proper review by departments.

Historical Preservation
To promote the conservation, preservation, protection, and enhancement of Atascadero’s
historical and architecturally significant structures, the City adopted a Historic Site Overlay
(HS) zone. The standards are intended to protect historic structures and sites by requiring new
uses and alterations to existing uses to be designed with consideration for preserving and
protecting the historic resource. Given the quality of Atascadero’s historical and architecturally
significant structures, and the contribution of these structures to the image and quality of life in
Atascadero, the historic preservation policies and regulations are reasonable and appropriate
and do not pose an unreasonable constraint to residential development in the City of
Atascadero. Only one site identified in the vacant land inventory (Appendix I) contains a
designated colony house, but is not subject to the HS overlay. No other sites identified in the
vacant land inventory are subject to the HS overlay.
Sensitive Resources
The City adopted a Sensitive Resource Overlay (SR) zone to protect areas with special
environmental resources and to protect areas containing unique or endangered vegetation or
habitat. The purpose of these standards is to require that proposed uses be designed with
consideration of the identified sensitive resources, and the need for their protection.
Development that falls within a SR overlay zone does require additional measures to ensure
environmental protection, which can add to the cost of development. It is in the best interest of
the community, and also is mandated by State and Federal laws to protect sensitive
environmental resources. The City’s regulations do not pose an unreasonable constraint to
residential development in the City. No sites identified in the vacant land inventory are subject
to the SR overlay.

State law requires that mobile and manufactured homes be allowed in residential zones. These
units cannot be regulated by any planning fees or review processes not applicable to
conventional single-family dwellings. However, the architectural design of manufactured or
mobilehomes can be regulated by the City.
Under the City’s zoning regulations mobilehome developments are permitted with approval of
a Conditional Use Permit in all residential zones. Individual mobilehome dwellings are
permitted by right in all single-family residential zones (RS, RSF, LSF) and in the Agriculture
zone.
The City’s zoning regulations address manufactured homes in section 9-6.142 of the Atascadero
Municipal Code. In order be in compliance with State law, the City should clarify that the
terms “mobilehome” and “manufactured home” are essentially the same and should be

considered a single-family dwelling and permitted in all zones that allow single-family housing.
Manufactured housing can be subject to design review. Program 1.1-5 3 is recommended to
encourage a variety housing options within the City.
Mixed-Use Development
Atascadero encourages mixed-use development in the downtown districts (DC and DO). As
stated in Title 9:
The downtown zoning districts are intended to develop an attractive, pedestrian-oriented, and
economically successful downtown area by providing for a mixture of commercial, office, and
residential land uses…
The development of mixed-use projects provides more housing opportunities by permitting
residential uses on the upper floors. Mixed-use development also enhances economic viability,
pedestrian-oriented character, and the overall downtown environment. Table V-35 provides the
development standards for mixed-use developments in the downtown area. In addition, mixed-
use is allowed in all areas with a General Commercial land use designation. In 2013, the City
amended the Zoning Ordinance to allow vertical mixed-use with a Conditional Use Permit in
General Commercial land use designations and horizontal mixed-use subject to a zone change
(PD overlay) and General Plan Amendment. This is a reduction in previous requirements for
horizontal or vertical mixed-use.
Secondary Residential Units
To encourage establishment of second units, State law requires cities to either adopt an
ordinance authorizing second units in residentially zoned areas, or, where no ordinance has
been adopted, to allow second units if they meet standards set out in the State law. State law
requires ministerial consideration of second unit applications in zones where single-family
dwellings are permitted. Local governments are precluded from totally prohibiting second units
in residentially zoned areas unless they make specific findings (Government Code § 65852.2).
Second units can be an important source of affordable housing since they are smaller than
primary units and they do not have direct land costs. Supporting the development of second
units expands housing opportunities for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households by
increasing the number of rental units available within existing neighborhoods. Second units are
intended to provide livable housing at lower cost while providing greater security,
companionship, and family support for the occupants.
Second units, or secondary residential units, are defined within the Atascadero zoning
regulations as residential occupancy constructions (R) with a kitchen and full bathroom that is
accessory to the primary unit and intended for permanent occupancy by a second household.
Second residential units provide quarters for independent living areas, sleeping, cooking, and
sanitation facilities. Second residential units are permitted by right in the single-family
residential zones (RS, RSF, LSF). Second units are also allowed in single family planned
development overlay districts only when consistent with an approved Master Plan of

Development.
Second units are subject to all development standards of the underlying zoning district and/or
planned development overlay districts, with a few minor exceptions:
o Floor Area. The total floor area shall not exceed 1,200 square feet.
o Private Open Space Requirement. A second unit shall have a minimum private open
space area of 250 square feet. No portion of an open space area shall have a dimension of
less than 10 feet in width.
o Attached Second Units. If the second unit is attached to the primary dwelling, each shall
be served by separate outside entrances.
o Second units are permitted on lots greater than 1 gross acre in size if on a private septic
system or connected to City sewer.
o Second units are permitted on lots less than 1 gross acre in size if connected to City sewer
only.
Second units, whether attached or detached, are considered as single-family units for purposes
of determining impact fees. This has been identified as a potential constraint to development of
second units. Programs 1.1-12 considers reduction of impact fees for second units as part of an
AB1600 study and 6.1-8 has been introduced to index fees based on size of the unit to encourage
affordability by design. Parking requirements for second residential units are shown in Table
V-36.
For a second unit to be approved, it must be served by a public water system and the City
sanitary sewer system or an engineered septic system (depending on lot size), and allow for the
installation of separate utility meters. Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC) establishes
the water connection fees and these have been identified as a constraint to the development of
second residential units due to the disproportion of fees to actual development costs.6 Program
1.1.12 is recommended to establish a program that would address second unit fees and create an
incentive program to encourage the development of second units. (See Section F – Housing
Resources (Infrastructure Resources - Water Service) for additional information on water service
from AMWC.)
Group Homes and Residential Care Facilities
The Lanterman Development Disabilities Services Act declares that persons with mental or and
physical disabilities are entitled to live in normal residential surroundings. A State-authorized,
certified, or licensed family care home, foster home, or group home serving six or fewer
disabled persons or dependent and neglected children on a 24-hour-a-day basis is considered a
residential use that is permitted in all residential zones. No local agency can impose stricter
zoning or building and safety standards or require variances on these homes than those
required for homes in the same zone.

The City’s Planning and Zoning Regulations accommodate housing for group living situations.
Residential care facilities serving six or fewer residents (small) are permitted by right in all
residential zones. Residential care facilities serving more than six residents (large) are permitted
by right in the RMF zone and conditionally permitted in the RS, RSF, and LSF zones. Program
4.1.3 is recommended to allow large residential care facilities by right in additional zones.
See the section below Housing for People with Disabilities, for additional discussion on housing for
special needs.
Emergency Shelters and Transitional Housing
State legislation SB 2 requires jurisdictions to permit emergency shelters without a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) or other discretionary permits, and transitional housing and supportive
housing must be considered residential uses and must only be subject to the same restrictions
that apply to the same housing types in the same zone.
Transitional and supportive housing are considered single family or multi-family uses under
Title 9. Transitional and supportive housing are permitted in all residential zones and thus held
to the same development standards as other residential uses of the same type in the same zone.
Additionally, the City has an Emergency Shelter (ES) Overlay Zone, which allows emergency
shelters on a specific site subject to the development and operational standards outlined in the
zoning ordinance. The ES Overlay Zone was applied to the property where El Camino
Homeless Organization (ECHO) runs and operates a homeless shelter with a maximum of 50
occupants. The ECHO shelter does not typically operate at capacity. The As a shelter was not a
permitted use in the base zone, the Overlay protects the operation and establishes operational
guidelines.
The site of ECHO shelter has the capacity to expand to accommodate an additional 60 beds, for
a total capacity of 110 beds at the single ES overlay site. With the existing site not operating at
capacity, with the ability to expand up to 110 beds, the shelter meets the City’s need for
emergency shelters. Program 4.1-4 is proposed to identify additional sites for emergency
shelters, should a need arise for these facilities.
Building Codes And Site Improvements
Building codes and site improvements can also increase the cost of developing housing,
particularly affordable rental housing. The following examines the City’s building codes and
site improvement standards.
Building Codes and Enforcement
Atascadero implements the 2013 edition of the California Building Code and other model
construction codes, with amendments adopted by the California Building Standards
Commission. These model codes establish standards and require inspections at various stages
of construction to ensure code compliance and minimum health and safety standards. Although
these standards and the time required for inspections increase housing production costs and
Public Review Draft Page 63 July 19, 2014
City of Atascadero
Resolution No. 2015-007
Exhibit B
City of Atascadero
General Plan Housing Element
may impact the viability of rehabilitation of older properties, the codes are mandated for all
jurisdictions in California.
The City has also adopted an ordinance requiring fire sprinklers in all newly constructed
residential units and substantially remodeled units, adding to the cost of construction. The
ordinance was instated for the protection of Atascadero residents because most residential sites
in Atascadero are in a high or very high fire hazard severity zone. With the very hot summers
in Atascadero and abundance of dry brush and native vegetation located in the residential
zones, there is a high potential for fire. The installation of fire sprinklers adds approximately $2
per square foot to the cost of construction of single-family homes. The additional cost is likely to
be passed along to the homebuyer as part of the final cost of the home or to renters in the form
of a higher monthly rental price. The added cost does not pose a significant constraint to the
construction of new units and second units.
Aside from this ordinance, the City has not adopted local amendments to the model codes that
increase housing costs (the Plumbing Code has been amended to address large-lot development
with septic systems). Building inspectors are responsible for ensuring that proposed projects
meet State and local codes.
Site Improvements
The City of Atascadero, along with other agencies, requires the installation of certain on- and
off-site improvements to ensure the safety and livability of residential neighborhoods. On-site
improvements typically include private or shared driveways, parking areas, drainage, sections
of underground pipe, swales, ponding areas, and amenities such as landscaping, fencing, open
space, and park facilities. Off-site improvements typically include:
Sections of roadway, medians, bridges, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes;
Sewage collection and treatment;
Water systems, including lines, storage tanks, and treatment plants (Atascadero Municipal
Water Company); and
Public facilities for fire, school, and recreation.
The costs of on- and off-site improvements, which average about $35.00 per square foot for
single family residential construction and $28.00 per square foot for multi-family residential
construction are usually passed along to the homebuyer as part of the final cost of the home.
The on- and off-site improvement standards imposed by the City are typical for most
communities and do not pose unusual constraints for housing development.
Parking Standards
The City’s parking requirements are based upon unit type and size. As shown in Table V-3836,
parking requirements are typically two spaces per single-family residential unit. Multi-family
residential units generally average 2.25 spaces per unit after accounting for guest parking.
The City has several exceptions for parking. Bicycle parking may substitute parking spaces in
lots with 20 or more spaces. A bicycle rack providing for at least five bicycles at a ratio of one

bicycle rack for each 20 spaces is allowed. For compact car spaces, lots with 20 or more spaces
may substitute compact car spaces for up to 20 percent of the total number of spaces. For
motorcycle parking, lots with 20 or more spaces may replace regular spaces with motorcycle
spaces at a ratio of one motorcycle space for each 20 spaces.

In certain situations, parking requirements may be reduced or waived. This includes some
alternative parking arrangement options:
o Tandem Parking. Tandem parking permitted for single-family dwellings and individual
mobilehomes upon meeting appropriate performance criteria.
o Parking Districts. Parking requirements may be modified within a parking district where
adequate parking is provided within the limits of the district and the parking
requirements of a new use are accommodated by the parking district.
o Shared Peak-Hour Parking. Where two or more uses have distinct and differing peak traffic
usage periods the required number of parking spaces may be reduced through
conditional use permit approval.
o On-Street Parking Adjustment. In the case that a new driveway eliminates on-street parking
spaces, the requirement for off-street spaces may be adjusted.
o Planning Commission Modification. The required parking standards may be modified
through Conditional Use Permit approval by the Planning Commission.

Permit Processing And Fees
Development Fees
The City charges various fees and assessments to cover the costs of processing permits and
providing services. Impacts fees are also charged to cover the cost or providing municipal
services or mitigating project impacts. These fees are summarized in Table V-37. The total
amount of fees varies from project to project based on type, existing infrastructure, and the cost
of mitigating environmental impacts. Atascadero does not control school and water impact fees.
These services are managed by separate districts.

Inclusionary requirements and fees also add to housing development costs. In 2003, the City
Council approved an Inclusionary Housing Policy for all developments requiring a legislative
approval i.e. Zone Change or General Plan Amendment. The Policy requires an in-lieu fee of
five percent of the construction valuation of the market rate unit within a project that does not
provide 20 percent of the units as affordable. All inclusionary units shall be deed restricted for a
period of 30 years. All residential projects under legislative approval are subject to the
inclusionary requirement as follows:
o Projects of 1-10 units: pay in-lieu fee or build units.
o Projects of 11 or more units must build units or receive a Council approval to pay in-
lieu fees.
The Inclusionary Housing Policy requires that all affordable units in single family land use
areas be designated for moderate-income households. The distribution of affordable units in
multi-family and mixed-use commercial land use areas area: 20 percent very low-income, 37
percent low-income, and 43 percent moderate-income. Affordable units must be constructed at
the same time as the market-rate units and affordable units must be physically distributed
throughout the project site, rather than concentrated in one area. To ensure compliance with
these requirements, a construction timeline detailing the development of affordable units and a
site map must be approved by the City Council.
With City Council approval alternatives to on-site construction or payment of in-lieu fees for
inclusionary units may be allowed, including: off-site construction, land dedication, or
combinations of construction, fees, and land dedications. As an incentive to provide affordable
units, all inclusionary units shall be treated as density bonus units that are not counted as part
of the maximum density entitlement of a site. As an increasing number of inclusionary units
move toward construction, the development community has raised concerns regarding the
financing and resale of these units. In an attempt to mitigate some of these financing issues, the
City Council approved an equity-sharing program for the moderate-income homes. The equity-
sharing program calls for the home to eventually be re-sold at the fair market value, with the
City receiving its share of the sales proceeds to re-invest in affordable housing.
Permit Processing
Housing production may be constrained by development review procedures, fees, and
standards. Residential projects proposed in Atascadero may be subject to design, environmental
review, zoning, subdivision and planned unit development review, use permit control, and
building permit approval, which together can take up to 24 months for a single family or multi-
family projects.
Table V-40 displays the review authority required for various planning decisions and permits.
Table V-41 displays the typical timelines for approvals and permits for the City of Atascadero.
Minor residential projects typically take from one to three months from submittal of the
application through completion of the approval process. Larger residential projects can take six
to twelve months. Permit processing is a time consuming and costly process, especially for
integrated projects such as those involving elements of affordable housing and mixed-use. City

Staff adhere to strict review times consistent with State law for entitlement review. Review
times are approximately 30 days for most projects. Processing timeframes have been generally
predicated on how quickly the applicant can process corrections or changes to the proposed
project. The City has proposed Programs 6.1-1 through 6.1-6 to continue to review and revise
procedures to streamline the permitting process.

compliance and building code requirements to ensure that the process is streamlined. Planning
review of routine over the counter permits is limited to tree protection when trees exist on-site
and are within the area of development.
Design Review
The Atascadero Appearance Review Manual was adopted by the City Council in 1987. The
Manual includes direction regarding the relationship of buildings to the site, relationship of
buildings and the site to the adjoining area, landscaping, building design, maintenance, and
parking. The purpose of Appearance Review is to ensure that the architectural and general
appearance of buildings and grounds are in keeping with the character of the neighborhood.
The City developed the Downtown Design Guidelines in 2000. The design guidelines were
intended to assist in the revitalization of the Atascadero downtown, provide for infill
development, and promote the conservation and reuse of existing buildings. The Guidelines
provide a basis for review of building orientation, design, architecture, landscaping, and signs
of new projects in the downtown. The guidelines were updated in 2011.
The Design Review Committee (DRC) was established by the City Council in August 2010.
Municipal Code Section 9-2.107 identifies the purpose, authority, and approval criteria for the
DRC. The DRC consists of members of City Council and Planning Commission and one
member of the public, and has the authority to approve and make recommendation in regards
to the architectural appearance, signage, site plans and landscape plans. Appearance approval
is based on adherence to policies of the General Plan, compatibility with surrounding uses, and
consistency with the guidelines and recommendations in the Appearance Review Manual and
Downtown Design Guidelines. All multi-family residential projects, single family residential
projects requiring a Planned Development permit, or any projects requiring a precise plan,
conditional use permit, zone change or general plan amendment must go through design
review prior to Planning Commission or City Council.
The DRC has been helpful in project streamlining by working out issues that normally would
have been dealt by Planning Commission or simply at a staff level. The Design Review process
does not appear to have a significant effect on housing affordability. Staff will continue to
provide educational materials and training for the DRC regarding the function and scope to
ensure it is not inadvertently used to reduce housing units.
Environmental Review Process/Precise Plan
A considerable amount of larger-scale developments in the City occur through the use of
Precise Plans or other applications that trigger environmental review. Precise plan approval is
required when a development or use of land is listed in a particular zoning district as an
allowable use and when it is determined by the Director that the project is not eligible for a
categorical exemption pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21084 and the State EIR
Guidelines. State regulations require environmental review of discretionary project proposals
(e.g., subdivision maps, precise plans, use permits, etc.). The timeframes associated with
Public Review Draft Page 70 July 19, 2014

environmental review are regulated by CEQA. In compliance with the Permit Streamlining Act,
City staff ensures that non-legislative proposals are heard at the Planning Commission within
60 days of receipt of an application being deemed complete. Precise Plan applications are
reviewed and approved by staff concurrently with the building permit review.
Housing For People With Disabilities
California law requires jurisdictions to analyze potential and actual constraints on housing for
persons with disabilities, demonstrate efforts to remove impediments, and include programs to
accommodate housing designed for disabled persons. Review of the Municipal Code,
permitting procedures, development standards, and building codes revealed the following
findings:
• The City enforces Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations that addresses access
and adaptability of buildings to accommodate persons with disabilities. The City also
requires compliance with the 1988 amendments to the Fair Housing Act, which requires
a minimum percentage of dwelling units in new RMF housing projects to be fully
accessible to the physically disabled. No additional accessibility standards above State
and Federal law are required.
• In downtown zones, where residential uses are limited to the upper floors, a
handicapped accessible unit may be located on a first floor if a project is required to
provide a unit in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, subject to
development standards.
Process for Reasonable Accommodation
Accessibility improvements to existing structures, such as a ramp, are usually handled
ministerially by City staff. The City adopted a reasonable accommodation ordinance in 2013.
Table V-42 reviews zoning and land use policies, permitting practices, and building codes to
ensure compliance with State and Federal fair housing laws for persons with disabilities. The
City has proposed Program 4.2-1 to ensure continued compliance with ADA standards and
reasonable accommodation in residential development.
Table V-31.Table V-42. Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities
General
Does the City have a process for persons with disabilities
to make requests for reasonable accommodation?
Yes. The City adopted a reasonable accommodation
ordinance in 2013.
Has the City made efforts to remove constraints on
housing for persons with disabilities?
There are no special permits or requirements for homes
or development for disabled persons in zones where the
use would be otherwise permitted. In most cases, these

by State law? Are group home over six persons
allowed?
Group homes (referred to as residential care facilities in
the Planning and Zoning Regulations) of six or less
individuals are allowed by right in all residential districts.
They are allowed in the Public (P) zone with a
Conditional Use Permit. Facilities with greater than 6
persons are permitted, by right, in the Residential
Multiple Family (RMF) zone and in the single-family
residential zones [Residential Suburban (RS),
Residential Single Family (RSF), Limited Single Family
(LSF)] and the P zone with a Conditional Use Permit.
Does the City have occupancy standards in the zoning
code that apply specifically to unrelated adults and not to
families?
No.
Does the land use element regulate the siting of special
needs housing in relationship to one another?
No, there is no minimum distance required between two
or more special needs housing.
Permits and Processing

Energy Conservation
Planning to maximize energy efficiency and the incorporation of energy conservation and green
building features contributes to reduced housing costs. Energy efficient design for sustainable
communities reduces dependence on automobiles. Additionally, maximizing energy efficiency
reduces greenhouse gas emissions. In response to recent legislation on global climate change,
local governments are required to implement measures that cut greenhouse gas emissions
attributable to land use decisions (see discussion on Global Climate Change below). The
Housing Element programs can support energy efficiency that benefits the market, the
environment, and the long-term health of the community by:
Establishing a more compact urban core, bringing residents close to work and services,
therefore reducing automobile trips and reducing emissions;
Implementing passive solar construction techniques that require solar orientation, thermal
massing, and other energy efficient design standards; and
Encouraging the use of solar water heating and photovoltaics.
Executive Order S-E-05 initiated the first steps in establishing greenhouse gas emission
reduction targets in California. This was followed by the California Global Warming Solutions
Act (AB 32), which required the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to establish reduction
measures.
There are several areas where programs for energy conservation in new and existing housing
units are supported by the City:
Through application of State residential building standards that establish energy
performance criteria for new residential buildings (Title 24 of the California
Administrative Code). These regulations establish insulation, window glazing, air
conditioning, and water heating system requirements. The City also instituted the City
Council adopted Energy Conservation Initiative in 2001.
Through appropriate land use policies and development standards that reduce energy
consumption. The City of Atascadero’s General Plan is based on the Smart Growth
Principles of encouraging infill and reuse of existing land and infrastructure. The Land
Use, Open Space, and Conservation Element include goals to preserve a greenbelt around
the City, encourage mixed use infill development, revitalize of the Downtown Core, and
encourage compact development with a pedestrian scale and trails.

Through the implementation of the City Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and
County Neighborhood Preservation Program; which often includes attic and exterior wall
insulation, door and window repair or replacement, weather stripping and caulking, duct
insulation, and water heater blankets in rehabilitation projects.
City environmental review may also require measures to reduce energy consumption.
GRID Alternatives for low-income families and how the City can perform outreach.
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides a variety of energy conservation services for residents
and provides several other energy assistance programs for lower income households. These
programs include their Energy Watch Partnerships and the Charitable Contributions Program.
The Energy Watch Partnerships help residents lower their energy bills and promote cleaner
energy production. Through this program, PG&E has extended the reach of effectiveness of
energy efficiency programs, and provided information about demand responses programs,
renewable energy and self-generations opportunities.
The Charitable Contributions Program provides millions of dollars each year to non-profit
organizations to support environmental and energy sustainability. Projects include residential
and community solar energy distribution projects, public education projects, and energy
efficiency programs. The goal is to ensure that 75 percent of the funding assist underserved
communities, which includes low-income households, people with disabilities, and seniors.
PG&E also offers rebates for energy efficient home appliances and remodeling. Rebates are
available for cooling and heating equipment, lighting, seasonal appliances, and remodeling
(cool roofs, insulation, water heaters). These opportunities are available to all income levels and
housing types.
Energy Consumption
Residential water heating and HVAC systems are major sources of energy consumption. With
the application of energy efficient design and the use of solar power systems, home heating and
cooling can be operated in a more efficient and
sustainable manner.
By encouraging solar energy technology for
residential heating/cooling in both retrofits and new
construction, the City can play a major role in energy
conservation. There are two distinct approaches to
solar heating: active and passive. The best method to
encourage use of solar systems for heating and
cooling is to not restrict their use in the zoning and building ordinances and to require
subdivision layouts that facilitate solar use.
Residential water heating can be made more energy efficient through the application of solar
water heating technologies. Solar water heating relies on the sun to heat water, which is then
Active Systems use mechanical equipment to
collect and transport heat, such as a roof plate
collector system used in solar water and space
heaters.
Passive Systems use certain types of building
materials to absorb solar energy and can
transmit that energy later, without
mechanization.

stored for later use. A conventional water heater is needed only as a back-up. By cutting the
amount of natural gas needed to heat water by 50 to 75 percent per building, solar water
heating systems can lower energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. The
City has the opportunity to implement solar technologies with the help of recent legislation. The
Solar Water Heating and Efficiency Act of 2007 (AB 1470) has created a $250 million, ten-year
program to provide consumer rebates for solar water heating systems.
Global Climate Change
There are significant areas where Atascadero can do more to encourage energy conservation in
new and existing residential development to reduce the demand on energy. There are a variety
of energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies that can be integrated
into land use decisions related to housing. Table V-43 lists strategies to address energy
conservation and global climate change, developed by the California Environmental Protection
Agency’s Climate Action Team. As an active member of Local Governments for Sustainability,
Atascadero is also participating in an effort to inventory and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Through these and other conservation measures, the City seeks to help minimize the percentage
of household income required for energy costs as well as minimize the production of
greenhouse gases. Programs have been included to incorporate newly adopted State energy
efficiency standards and to encourage alternative energy efficient technologies.

(CA 2004), sets a goal of reducing energy
use in public and private buildings by 20
percent by the year 2015, as compared
with 2003 levels.
Residential development projects could
increase energy efficiency percentage
beyond Title 24 requirements. In addition,
the project could implement other green
building design (i.e., natural daylighting
and on-site renewable, electricity
generation).
The City has made some efforts towards
encouraging green building. In 2006 the
City signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with SLO Greenbuild. In
2007 the City Hall permit counter installed
a kiosk with SLO Greenbuild information
and information on environmentally
friendly construction methods and
materials.

2. Non-Governmental Constraints
The availability and cost of housing is strongly influenced by market factors over which local
government has little or no control. State law requires that the housing element contain a
general assessment of these constraints, which can serve as the basis for actions that local
governments might take to offset their effects. The primary non-governmental constraints to the
development of new housing are land, construction costs, and environmental constraints.
Land And Construction Costs
The cost and availability of capital financing affect the overall cost of housing in two ways: first,
when the developer uses capital for initial site preparation and construction and, second, when
the homebuyer uses capital to purchase housing. The capital used by the developer is borrowed
for the short-term at commercial rates, which are considerably higher than standard mortgage
rates. Construction financing is sometimes difficult to obtain for multifamily construction,
which poses a significant constraint on the production of affordable housing in Atascadero.
Land costs include acquisition and the cost of holding land throughout the development
process. These costs can account for as much as half of the final sales prices of new homes in
small developments or in areas where land is scarce. Land costs in single-family residential
neighborhoods of Atascadero range from $8,000 to $395,000 per acre.7 Among the variables
affecting the cost of land are the size of lots, location and amenities, the availability and
proximity of public services, and the financing arrangement between the buyer and seller.
Construction costs vary widely depending on the type, size, and amenities of the development.
Based on a recent national survey or residential developers 8, the average cost of construction of
a single family home in 2013 was $246,453, or $95 per square foot. This is an increase in typical
construction costs over the past few years, $15 more per square foot than in 2011.
Environmental And Physical Constraints
7 A review of realtor websites in April 2014 provided 19 vacant lots for sale within the City. Land costs were estimated from this
sample.

The following potential physical and environmental constraints may affect development
regulated by the City by limiting the development potential and/or adding mitigation costs to a
project:
Environmental Constraints
Several special status species are known to occur in Atascadero, including: dwarf calycadenia,
Douglas’ spineflower, Hardham’s evening-primrose, Jared’s pepper-grass, Kellogg’s horkelia,
Oval-leaved snapdragon, rayless aphanactis, round-leaved filaree, Salinas milk vetch, Salinas
valley goldfields, shining navarretia, and straight-awned spineflower. The City also protects
unique vegetation communities that support sensitive species, including wetlands. Wetland
habitat types are considered a vegetation community of special concern by the CDFG because of
substantial statewide losses. The presence of special-status species and plant communities of
special concern may affect development regulated by the City by limiting the development
potential and/or adding mitigation costs.
The grasslands, riparian habitats, and tracts of undeveloped land provide habitat for a diverse
selection of resident and migrant wildlife. Eighteen special status bird and mammal species are
known to occur in Atascadero. Barriers to wildlife movement and migration and the removal of
raptor nesting sites are to be avoided in future development. The occurrence of any of these
species on a site could pose constraints to a housing project.
Preservation of natural flora and fauna is a basic community goal and native trees are valued
community assets. The City has established regulations for the installation, maintenance,
planting, preservation, protection, and selected removal of native trees within the City limits
through the adoption of the Native Tree Ordinance. A tree removal permit is required for the
removal of native trees (as defined by Chapter 11, Native Tree Regulations) and for pruning of
the live canopy in native trees in excess of 25 percent of the existing canopy area. In addition,
for each residential building permit issued, the planting of one five-gallon native tree is
required. The mitigation requirements may become cumbersome for high-density projects, as
tree replacement may be required on-site that is at the sole expense of the applicant. However,
native and drought tolerant landscaping may be used to meet landscape requirements and does
not specifically add costs above standard Zoning Ordinance landscaping requirements.
Physical Constraints
Several physical constraints may occur in the City. Parcels with steep slopes may have
constraints associated with landslide hazards, grading costs, and access requirements.
Landslides are relatively rare in the developed portions of the City, as compared to in the hilly,
undeveloped areas. Stationary noise sources near potential sites for development may pose
constraints. For example, traffic on U.S. Route 101 exceeds acceptable noise levels. Housing may
be limited within 500 feet of U.S. Route 101 under CEQA, due to the health hazards of siting
sensitive uses near urban roads with over 100,000 vehicles per day unless appropriate
mitigation can be identified and implemented. Operational noise sources near potential sites
for development may pose constraints as well; such as the Southern Pacific railroad tracks that
run north-south through the eastern portion of the City. Residential uses adjacent to the
railroad tracks have the potential to be exposed to noise that exceed acceptable noise levels,
although noise incidences are temporary (dependent on railroad operation). In addition, low-
