Atascadero City Council
Agenda Report – Public Works Department
Updated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the North County
Urbanized Area under Federal Transit Administration
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the Mayor to execute the Updated Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) for the North County Urbanized Area between the San Luis Obispo Council of
Governments, the County of San Luis Obispo, the Regional Transit Authority, the City
of Atascadero, and the City of Paso Robles.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Atascadero operates a Dial-A-Ride program that provides curb-to-curb public
transportation to those living and working in Atascadero. This customized service
provides affordable travel designed around an individual ’s needs that allows them to
decide where and when to be picked up. All buses are equipped with wheelchair lif ts to
provide individuals with mobility accommodations an opportunity to use this service.
Atascadero used to operate a Fixed Route bus service that provided scheduled servic e
but was discontinued several years ago when the City agreed to have SLO Regional
Transit Authority (RTA) provide the fixed route services within Atascadero.
The City and other Public Transportation Providers receive funding from the Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) to operate public transportation services – primarily through
FTA 5307 and 5339 funding for capital, operating, and planning assistance for the
delivery of public mass transportation. FTA funding mandates a regional approach to be
eligible for 5307 and 5339 monies, which requires use of these monies to be consistent
with Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) long range vision and reflected by an approved
Regional and Federal Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP and FTIP). S LOCOG
is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Regional Transportation
Planning Agency (RTPA) for San Luis Obispo County, and oversees the RTIP and FTIP
and administers the FTA 5307 and 5339 funding locally.
FTA funding requires interagency cooperation for transportation planning. SLOCOG has
designated the cities of Atascadero and Paso Robles, and less populated north county
portions of SLO County in Templeton and Santa Margarita, as the “El Paso de Robles –
Atascadero Urbanized Area” (“North County UZA”) for regional transportation planning
activities. Within the North County UZA, there are five public transportation services
CC Page 22
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 07/12/16
including: two Fixed Routes (RTA and Paso Express); two Dial -A-Rides (Atascadero and
Paso Robles); and one Runabout-ADA (RTA). A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
was established in 2003 when new Federal mandates required the adoption of a formal
MOU among all parties eligible for urbanized area formula FTA funds. The agencies who
are a part of the MOU include the cities of Atascadero and Paso Robles, SLO County,
and SLOCOG/RTA. The overall purpose of the MOU is to support a cooperative and
mutually beneficial working relationship between the partner agencies for the provision of
comprehensive, effective, and coordinated transit planning on behalf of North County
public mass transportation systems.
The proposed amendments in the updated MOU will better reflect current operational
programs as well as align with the most recent Federal funding legislation. Transit
system changes have included the implementation of the North County Consolidation
plan and the elimination of the Atascadero Shuttle fixed route service in 2014. The
primary amendments to the updated MOU are as follows:
Update the Federal funding legislation: from Map21 to the 2015 FAST
Add reference to the 2014 fixed route consolidation of Paso Express (all local
services) with the RTA
Add reference to the smaller Atascadero Transit operations, solely made of the
general public Dial-A-Ride
Mention the lower general public Dial-A-Ride farebox ratio mandate (cost
effectiveness measure in the state TDA rules) for both Paso Robles and
Atascadero (going from 20% to 15%)
Modify the North County Transit Technical Committee voting structure from six
votes to four votes to reflect the consolidat ion of fixed route operations to RTA.
Under the old structure the cities of Atascadero and Paso Robles had two votes
each. Under the new structure all entities will have one vote each, resulting in
equal voting representation among all transit providers.
Update to include that RTA relies upon SLOCOG, the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO), to meet the public participation requirements for the FTA’s
Program of Projects (POP).
The MOU identifies the transit planning responsibilities in coordination with the State of
California for the purpose of programming federal funds within the SLOCOG Federal
Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP); and be consistent with the most recent
Federal transit guidelines and otherwise update the original MOU fro m 2003 that had
been crafted with the first designation of the North County small urbanized area
(Census 2000).
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

DATE: 07/12/16
ATTACHMENT: 1
new legislation, MPOs continue to have to work cooperatively with public transit operators to
develop Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) and Transportation Improvement Plans (TIPs)
for urbanized areas. These plans and programs are intended to further the national interest ,
encourage and promote the safe and efficient management, operation, and development of
surface transportation systems. These systems should serve the mobility of people and freight,
and foster economic growth and development within and through urbanized areas, while
minimizing transportation-related fuel consumption and air pollution; and,
WHEREAS, SLOCOG and Public Transportation Providers rely upon a cooperative relationship
to foster comprehensive regional transit planning, which feeds directly into State and national
planning; and,
WHEREAS, this agreement is supported by the 2013/14 consolidation among regional and
local services as the outcome of the 2012 North County Transit Plan recommendations.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to the parties hereto, and in
consideration of the covenants and conditions herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1: Responsibilities of SLOCOG and the Public Transportation Providers
1.1 Communication
A critical component of this relationship involves open and productive communication, which
leads to setting project priorities and federal funding needs. SLOCOG is required to update
the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) every other year. The need to
ensure responsive communication between the parties is imperative in order to meet this
federal programming mandate.
Within or To and From a designated urbanized area, Public Transportation Providers are
eligible for FTA 5307 and 5339 funding for capital, operating, and planning assistance for
the delivery of public transportation. The Executive Directors of SLOCOG and RTA and the
City Managers for Atascadero and Paso Robles are the primary individuals responsible for
ensuring that the provisions specified in this MOU are followed through.
1.2 Governance
The Public Transportation Providers, individually and jointly, will cooperate with SLOCOG in
the development and implementation of a committee structure to assure the application for
and use of FTA 5307 and 5339 funding that is consistent with the Regional Transportation
Plan (RTP) long range vision and reflected by an approved Federal Transportation
Improvement Programs (RTIP and FTIP).
SLOCOG and the Public Transportation Providers have adopted a 2008 operating
agreement designating the RTA as the grantee FTA urbanized area funding in the North
County UZA. By means of this agreement, SLOCOG and the Public Transportation
Providers will agree to cooperate fully with all application and reporting requirements as
dictated by the FTA and implemented by the RTA.

ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 07/12/16
ATTACHMENT: 1
SECTION 2: Transit Planning
2.1 Overall Work Program (Region)
In accordance with state and federal requirements, SLOCOG annually prepares, adopts,
and updates an Overall Work Program (OWP) describing regional planning activities. The
OWP relates regionally significant planning activities of the State, transit operators, local
governments, and SLOCOG in an integrated, comprehensive program document. Public
Transportation Providers agree to annually prepare a list of regionally significant transit
related planning studies for the future fiscal year to be completed by the Public
Transportation Providers and submit that list to SLOCOG according to the following items
for their incorporation in the OWP for the next fiscal year:
a) a brief description of said studies by December 1st of each calendar year.
b) a detailed description of said studies by January 14th of the following calendar
year.
2.2 Short-Range Transit Plans (SRTP) (Operators)
In accordance with the planning regulations and FTA guidance, the Public Transportation
Providers are required to prepare a five (5) year short-range plan to support sound financial
and operations decision-making in transit planning and programming. In the development
of future SRTPs, the Public Transportation Providers will provide a draft list of projects for
FTA funding. In North County UZA, the joint 2012 North County Transit Plan will fulfill the
requirements for the SRTP’s. The list of projects shall:
a) Identify and describe the scope of the specific projects and services, which address
ongoing (status quo) and changing (gain or scaling back)transit demands. These
projects and services are to include provisions for meeting requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
b) Provide qualitative and quantitative analysis showing how the project addresses transit
needs, as well as its anticipated performance relative to the most recently adopted
standards.
c) Identify the amount and type of federal and non-federal funds required to support the
projects for each year represented in the plan. In addition, identify an estimate of
anticipated discretionary funding estimates for the multi-year FTIP (as anticipated and
subject to funding awards).
2.3 Long-Range Transit Plan (Region)
In accordance with the planning regulations and FTA guidance, SLOCOG in coordination with
the Public Transportation Providers will update the Long-Range Transit Plan (LRTP). The
LRTP will assess the transportation needs of the public and set forth improvements necessary
to address those needs over a twenty (20) year period and updated every five (5) years
consistent with SRTPs. The region has integrated the LRTP elements into the updates to the
Regional Transportation Plan; at this time the 2014 RTP is the most recent reference. As
Public Transportation Providers issue their more focused SRTP or sub-regional transit plans,
refinements can be made to the RTP Public Transportation Chapter ahead of the formal RTP
update.

DATE: 07/12/16
ATTACHMENT: 1
2.4 Planning Assistance (As needed)
SLOCOG will provide input into the development of transit plans produced by the Public
Transportation Providers. An example of the type of transit document includes the 2012
North County Transit Plan and its projections of demand, supply, costs and revenues. In
addition, SLOCOG will work cooperatively with and assist the Public Transportation
Providers in their efforts to generate planning and forecasting information needed to
establish and maintain the SRTPs and LRTPs. The type of assistance provided by
SLOCOG includes, but is not limited to, the following:
a) Obtain and analyze data from various sources to develop concrete demographic,
growth, and use assumptions for transit forecasting and development (e.g., detailed
socio-economic profiles, trip generation tables, American Community Survey
information, maps).
b) Assist in securing funds to conduct transit studies and in-depth analysis (e.g., research
funding options, write or review grants).
c) Assist in obtaining state and federal funding of projects consistent with the SLOCOG
RTP (e.g., schedule release of programming recommendations, issue public notices
within the allowed minimum time frame, keep e-records of public notices publications,
facilitate FTIP amendments in a coordinated and timely manner).
2.5 FTIP Programming Criteria
As part of the FTIP update, federally funded projects are programmed by SLOCOG on
behalf of all transit providers receiving federal funds through FTIP. For proposed transit
projects, the criterion used for the programming of federal funds within the SLOCOG FTIP
is essential. SLOCOG and the Public Transportation Providers will employ the following
selection criteria to establish priorities for transit funding:
a) Project purpose and need.
b) Anticipated benefits.
c) Degree to which a project will improve transit availability.
d) Degree to which a project will improve service performance
e) Air quality benefits and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
f) Overall cost-effectiveness.
g) Leveraging other funding sources and balancing the allocation of resources among the
three small urbanized areas in the region.
Financial sustainability of any new service in light of projected funding changes at the state
or Federal levels.
2.6 Regional Planning (Region)
SLOCOG will provide a forum to foster partnerships wherein the optimal development of
public transit services in north County will be accomplished in a cost-effective and efficient
manner. As part of the coordinated regional transportation system, SLOCOG will expand
the continuing, cooperative, and consistent planning of the transportation systems operated
by the Public Transportation Providers with the goal of continuing to improve the local,
regional and interregional transit networks.
CC Page 27
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 07/12/16
ATTACHMENT: 1
SLOCOG will be responsible for the development of regional planning documents such as
the RTP, the LRTP (if a standalone report in future years), and the state mandated analysis
and determination of Unmet Transit Needs for the North County. The Public Transportation
Providers will have the opportunity to provide technical advice during the development of
these documents through the SLOCOG regional transportation advisory committees’
structure as well as using this agreement as the basis for direct communication. As a part
of the regional planning process, the Public Transportation Providers will assist SLOCOG
with efforts to achieve regional goals, including the requirement to attain state and federal
air quality standards.
2.7 Application for Transit Funding (all parties)
The Caltrans administrator in the Division of Rail and Mass Transit is the designated grant
recipient. Caltrans is the oversight body for all small urbanized areas under this program. It
is responsible to review the FTIP approval list of candidate projects and their public noticing,
the concurrence letter issued by SLOCOG as the MPO and to pin the grant with the FTA. In
turn, the RTA as the designated regional grantee (on behalf of all North County providers,
per Governance-1.2) prepares and submits the 5307 application to the FTA regional office
for their final approval. SLOCOG will review the accuracy of the draft 5307 applications, the
consistency of candidate projects with FTIP programming. Based on this satisfactory
review, SLOCOG will prepare a letter of concurrence.
The applications for federal funding shall be consistent with the SLOCOG RTP as required
by federal guidelines. The RTA shall work with SLOCOG to develop consistent funding
requests from all potential transit funding sources in order to prevent funding delays; this
includes all other small urbanized areas 5307 projects, which are combined into a single
grant application. Procedures in place for the 5307 formula program are not always aligned
with those used by Caltrans for the separate 5339 program, itself administered by Caltrans
on behalf of the FTA. Thus the above sequence of activities is most directly related to the
5307 urbanized area program.
2.8 Program of Projects (Regional)-2 year cycle
By early March of each even year, the Public Transportation Providers in coordination with
the North County Transit Technical Committee shall prepare and adopt a “Program of
Projects” (POP) consistent with the requirements of Title 49 U.S.C Section 5307(c)(1)
through (7). On odd years, the Committee may convene if the funding programmed greatly
differs from the final apportionments. This calendar could also vary subject to the actual
time of release of the Federal formula apportionments. (See Attachment B-Programming
calendar)
2.9 Incorporation or Rejection in the FTIP (Regional)
SLOCOG will include all POP projects nominated from the annual urbanized area in its
entirety in the FTIP at its April Board of Directors meeting, unless SLOCOG staff finds that:
(a) The POP is inconsistent with the planning and programming process in this
agreement
(b) There are insufficient funds to implement the POP based on the federal
apportionment, potentially warranting some budget adjustments or
(c) the POP is inconsistent with the RTP and/or adopted local transit plans.
CC Page 28
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 07/12/16
ATTACHMENT: 1
If SLOCOG proposes to reject the POP, it will provide notice to the Public Transportation
Providers no later than 10 days after it receives the proposed POP from the North County
Transit Technical Committee. SLOCOG’s Executive Director may provide notice by letter;
the notice does not require formal Board action. The SLOCOG Board will act on the
proposed rejection of a POP in a public hearing at its June Board of Directors meeting
posted no later than early May. Whenever SLOCOG rejects the POP, the North County
Transit Policy Committee (See Section 2.10 below) shall convene, and the Public
Transportation Providers shall resubmit the POP. Unless the new POP is rejected in the
same manner, it will be amended into the FTIP. This amendment will not require a separate
public notice if the new POP is limited to projects already part of the FTIP public hearing on
the proposed POP rejection.
2.10 Committees
Two committees are established through this agreement (See Attachment C).
a) The North County Transit Technical Committee made of Four (4) voting staff members:
One (1) from the City of Paso Robles, One (1) from the City of Atascadero, One (1) from
RTA and One (1) from the County of San Luis Obispo. Three (3) non-voting staff
members shall include: One (1) representative from SLOCOG, (1) One representative
from the Air Pollution Control District (APCD), and One (1) representative from Caltrans
District 5 as ex-officio members.
b) The North County Transit Policy Committee made of Four (4) voting members: One (1)
elected representative from the City of Paso Robles, One (1) elected representative
from the City of Atascadero, One (1) RTA representative from the supervisorial
district(s) in North County and One (1) member of the County Board of Supervisors
(from one of the supervisorial district(s) which include the North County Urbanized Area)
acting as a representative for the County. The committee needs only meet if there is an
unresolved dispute with the POP, but may be convened if requested by signatories in
this agreement.
2.11 Disputes
If a dispute regarding the allocation of funds arises between SLOCOG and the Public
Transportation Providers, the agencies shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If
such negotiation does not result in resolving the differences, the issue shall be forwarded to the
North County Transit Policy Committee for review and recommendation. The recommendation
of this committee shall be forwarded to SLOCOG for review and potential revision of the urban
area POP. SLOCOG shall consider the recommendations of the committee and make a final
determination of the POP. Its decision shall be final.
SECTION 3: FTIP Project Monitoring & Maintenance
3.1 Progress Reporting
The SLOCOG will be responsible for tracking the overall progress of all projects in the FTIP.
SLOCOG will prepare a periodic report for the SLOCOG Board of Directors that identifies those
transit projects that have been recently programmed, and their status of completion (e.g., on
schedule, behind schedule, or completed). In addition, as per FAST, SLOCOG is required to
CC Page 29
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 07/12/16
ATTACHMENT: 1
produce an annual list of projects for which federal funds have been obligated in the preceding
year and will ensure that it is available for public review.
The Public Transportation Providers will assist SLOCOG’s effort to track the overall progress of
FTIP projects by submitting quarterly reports that address the status of each project receiving
federal funds. Most of this data will be readily available from the RTA Grants Manager, who
gathers quarterly updates from each provider under the FTA reporting rules. At a minimum, the
quarterly report will include:
a) Identify and correlate the projects by individual categories as identif ied in the FTIP (such
as: Operations, Planning, Fleet Purchase, Fixed Facilities, Maintenance and Planning).
b) Document the stage of project implementation.
c) If project is behind schedule, state the reasons for the delay.
d) Status of amount of federal funding obligated, received, and used to support projects.
e) Identify the need for FTIP amendment in consultation with SLOCOG FTIP lead planner.
In addition to providing the above documents, the Public Transportation Providers will forward
to SLOCOG a final copy of all planning documents produced as a result of receiving FTA
funding. This will assist SLOCOG in overall transit planning as well as ensure that FTA Section
5307 funds used accordingly for planning purposes meet the FTA’s requirements.
3.2 FTIP Amendments (Regional)
SLOCOG’s Executive Director will exercise the authority delegated by the SLOCOG Board to
process minor administrative amendments. Those may involve for example, changes in the
project scope, shifts of federal fund between project phases within the biennial element of the
FTIP or other changes such as the re-allocation of 5307 funds, would other funding sources
materialize for the same project.
As part of the quarterly progress report, or sooner if required, the Public Transportation
Providers will alert SLOCOG as to the need for amending the FTIP. In general, reasons for
FTIP amendment includes, for example, funding shortfalls, delays in project implementation
and/or new projects that need to be included to the document. (See 3.1)
SECTION 4: MOU Amendment
This MOU may be amended by the written consent of all parties.
SECTION 5: MOU Termination
Either party upon thirty (30) days of written notification to the other may terminate this MOU.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Funding Reallocation Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement between the
County of San Luis Obispo, the City of Atascadero, and the City of Morro Bay for the
reallocation of $236,420.47 of 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 CDBG funds from the
City of Atascadero to the City of Morro Bay and the reimbursement of these CDBG
funds from the City of Morro Bay to the City of Atascadero.
DISCUSSION:
The City receives Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) each year to be used
for various public facilities and services. While the grant amounts vary each year,
Atascadero has been receiving approximately $120,000 to $150,000 annually over the
past few years. City administration costs cannot exceed 20% of the annual
disbursement and public service costs cannot exceed 15% of the annual disbursement .
The City receives applications for public service disbursements from various non-profit
entities such as ECHO, Loaves and Fishes, etc., while the remaining CDBG monies are
spent on public facilities such as ADA barrier removal projects. T he federal grants
originate from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are
disbursed and administered locally on behalf of HUD by the County of San Luis Obispo
Department of Planning and Building.
The City has been focusing the public facilities portion of CDBG monies on making the
Atascadero Lake Park more ADA compliant and accessible for disabled persons since
2010. A pathway project was phased to allow the limited amount of funds to be
allocated each year toward a portion of the overall accessibility project. Phase II of
project included irrigation, sodding, fencing, and other miscellaneous work to complete
the sidewalk and picnic area constructed with Phase I. Phase II was designed and bid in
2015, however, there were no bid proposals received. The City decided to shelve this
phase of the project since water conservation restrictions were in full effect from
Governor Brown’s mandate. In addition to this unspent allocation, there were unused
balances from the design and construction phases of the Phase I project, along with
balances from CDBG administration and public service requests, with a sum unspent
total of $236,420.47 from 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 CDBG allocations.
CC Page 35
ITEM NUMBER: A-4
DATE: 07/12/16
HUD staff had indicated to the County that uncommitted CDBG funds could be
considered for future de-obligation by HUD. This “Use it or Lose it” policy according to
the National Defense Authorization Act of 1991, gives recipients of federal funds a total
of eight years to obligate and expend CDBG funds. After eight years, HUD captures
unspent funds and the funds are no longer available in the County’s line of credit. The
oldest Atascadero CDBG funds from 2010 are nearing a term limit as defined by HUD.
The County approached the City of Atascadero Public Works Department about the idea
of reallocating Atascadero’s unspent CDBG funds to front-load a CDBG project of a
neighboring city, then having that city reimburse Atascadero with that city’s future
allocations. City staff was receptive to further discuss this proposal to use on a future
project while preserving the funds at the local level, as long as the County assured the
return of their funds to help meet ADA needs sometime in the future when the City is
ready to go to construction with a more significant “shovel ready” project.
As a condition of the reallocation, the City of Atascadero will require that the City of
Morro Bay return funds at a dollar-per-dollar reallocation that will likely begin with the
2017 Program Year. The City of Morro Bay will reallocate their approximate $60,000
annual allocation to the City of Atascadero until the balance is paid in full. Should the
City have a “shovel ready” project and need the full reallocation amount sooner, the
County may advance Morro Bay’s future reallocations to Atascadero.
The proposed reallocation of funds is as follows:
Proposed Reallocation of 2010 CDBG Funds
Propo Proposed new project: Reallocate $9,545.48 from the “Atascadero Lake Park Pathway
Barrier Removal Project” by the City of Atascadero in the 2010 Action Plan to the

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report - Community Development Department
Land Use Definition Amendments
(City of Atascadero)
PLN 2016-1594
RECOMMENDATION:
Council receive and file an update on proposed amendments to the City’s Land Use Definitions
located in Title 9, Planning and Zoning, of the Atascadero Municipal Code.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
Several of the City Council’s primary goals are to implement common sense regulations,
promote economic development and to improve communication with the public. Tied very
closely to these goals is a focus on building and maintaining a business -friendly environment.
As part of the larger picture and in our ongoing efforts to a chieve Council’s goals, staff has
been working on improving what is known as the “Land Use Definitions” chapter of the City’s
Zoning Code for ease of use and to better reflect current times. This portion of the Zoning
Code defines hypothetical land uses so that staff and the public can easily understand and
interpret what land uses are appropriate in each zoning district. The update will simplify land
use definitions to make it easier for the public to determine just what they can do with their
property, and is designed to recognize current development trends and land uses that are not
currently categorized. The update will also amend some of the land use definitions for
consistency with current state law.
There currently is a great deal of interest being expressed by various investors and business
owners in locating to Atascadero, most notably in light manufacturing. The City’s current
zoning definitions are not as clear as they could be and do not reflect contemporary land uses
such as microbreweries, clean industrial, and tasting rooms. The end goal of this project is to
ensure that the City can continue to accommodate the quality and type of development that is
anticipated by the City’s General Plan while responding t o current development needs. It is
very important to note that the City is not making any changes to current zoning, but is striving
only to clarify the Zoning Code, specifically the land use definitions section, for ease of use.
CC Page 44
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 07/12/16
The updated land use definitions will become part of a new effort to repackage the City’s
Zoning Code into a new “Zoning Handbook”, which is to be graphically reorganized for ease of
use and legibility. The new Zoning Handbook will not be a rewrite of the City’s Zoning Code,
but it will place the most commonly referenced policies such as land use and property
development standards into a separate document that is easy to interpret and understand, and
will act as a quick reference guide for both City staff and the community.
The primary focus of the land use definitions update is geared towards permit streamlining,
common sense regulation, and economic development. These goals are specifically derived
from the recent City Council strategic planning exercise.
Staff will be returning to the Planning Commission and City Council with an update of the
definitions based on the following specifics:
Ensure that the land use definitions describe uses that advance economic development
opportunities within the City.
Modify and modernize land use descriptions to encourage entrepreneurship.
Consolidate antiquated land uses that may not have been modified since the City’s
incorporation that were carried over from San Luis Obispo County and may no longer
be relevant in Atascadero.
Ensure that existing land uses are accommodated and amendments do not create non-
conforming uses.
Broaden land use categories by performance standards instead of trying to define each
land use.
During the strategic planning discussion, the City Council directed staff to develop a more user
friendly “Zoning Handbook”, particularly for residents, design professionals, and others to
better understand the City’s existing Zoning Ordinance. This “handbook” will simply consist of
excerpts of the most commonly utilized sections of the Municipal Code such as the property
development standards, parking standards and basic zoning standards. Graphics and tables
will supplement the code to aid in interpreting property development standards such as
building setbacks, height, parking and other criteria. The updated definitions and a table
illustrating allowed uses will be a component of the zoning handbook.
This critical first step in amending the land use definitions is the fundamental in maintaining our
existing zoning standards. In the near future, a broader study of the commercial corridor will be
performed as part of the EL Camino Real Corridor study. Th is future work effort will require
extensive public outreach and may result in additional zoning amendments. However, at this
time we are simply implementing strategic planning goals by taking steps to streamline the
City’s land use definitions. Specifically, staff will be returning with amendments that accomplish
the following:
Adding Land Use descriptions that are currently not clearly codified in the City’s Land
Use descriptions, including uses that align with the City’s economic development such
CC Page 45
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 07/12/16
as tourism, clean technology uses, and other uses that produce jobs within the City
(microbreweries, wineries, business park uses, light industrial, etc.).
Provide definitions for uses that are currently noted in the code but have no existing
definition (e.g. Research and Development).
Eliminate redundancy and group manufacturing and other commercial uses into broad
categories while listing relevant examples.
Analysis:
Land Use Descriptions
The Land Use descriptions in Chapter 3 of the Zoning Ordinance (AMC 9-3) contain general
descriptions and examples of the types of uses that may be permitted in the City. The uses
described in this section enable planning staff to make determinations of permitted,
conditionally permitted or non-permitted uses for each zoning district. Planning staff utilizes
the land use descriptions to provide the correct information to applicants in regards to the
entitlement process for a particular use.
The existing land use descriptions define very specific uses such as “medical extended care
services” to very broad descriptions such as “general merchandise”. Portions of this section
have already been amended to reflect more modern uses such as the “personal services” and
“Residential Care of the Elderly (RCFE)”, while other descriptions have remained in the code,
despite no presence or ability to locate such facilities within the City Limits , such as “fisheries
and game preserves.” Some of these descriptions reflect uses that were allowed in the County
but may not have been located within the City prior to incorporation.
Additionally, the code contains land uses that lack any definition. This is particularly noted in
the Downtown Office (DO) and Downtown Commercial (DC) zoning districts. The following are
several of the codified land uses that lack descriptions:
Research and Development (R&D)
R&D biotechnology, chemical, pharmaceutical
Studios-art, dance, martial arts, music, etc.
ATMs
Child/Adult Day Care
Government Facilities & Offices
The land use descriptions enable planning staff to make a determination whether a use is
permitted within a zoning district. These definitions also allow the development and real-estate
community to determine allowable land uses for property. These definitions are the first steps
in the entitlement process and guide planning staff, decision makers and the public. Some
uses will continue to require very detailed definitions such as “adult-oriented businesses,”
“personal services-restricted,” and “single-family dwelling”, while other uses should be broad to
allow discretion and interpretation. This includes manufacturing uses, retail uses and office-
type uses.
CC Page 46
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 07/12/16
The significance of Land Use Descriptions
Staff utilizes land use descriptions to determine the necessary permits for entitlement. Allowed
uses are those that are generally consistent with neighborhood character, th us generally have
a shorter entitlement process. Uses that are determined to be “allowed” generally do not
trigger a discretionary review process.
Uses that are determined to be “conditionally permitted” require an applicant to seek a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to utilize a particular use on a parcel. Although these
uses are “allowed”, a closer examination of the use is ne cessary to avoid conflicts with the
surrounding neighborhood through the application of conditions or specific performance
standards that can accommodate aesthetics, noise, hours of operation, or other criteria.
With this revision to the land use descriptions, it is the intent to maintain the consistency
between the General Plan and Zoning. It is not the intent to change what is currently allowed in
each of the zoning districts or to make existing land uses non -conforming. Instead, the intent is
to make the zoning descriptions easier to use, easier to understand, and to reduce redundancy
and typographical errors. These amendments are intended to facilitate community
development potential through recognizing current land use trends . This “cleanup” is an
exercise that should occur on a regular basis in order to keep the zoning regulations a “living
document” that follows and keeps up with contemporary community development trends.
The Zoning Handbook and proposed format amendments
Currently, the City’s Zoning Ordinance is combined with many other sections of the Municipal
Code such as the Sign Regulations, Tree Regulations, Subdivision Regulations and many
other related ordinances. Many communities utilize a “zoning handbook” that p rovides the
most commonly utilized sections of the municipal code in a separate document with easy to
read tables and graphics.
The zoning handbook should contain the following elements:
Basic processing standards (use permits, time frames, etc.)
List of Allowed Uses in Each Zone (Table)
Land Use Definitions
Parking Standards (Table)
Property development standards (lot sizes, setbacks, height, etc.)
The Zoning Ordinance can be difficult to navigate, therefore the intent is to create a document
that any resident or applicant can view to understand the basic fundamentals of what is
permitted, what is conditionally permitted or what is not allowed in a particular zoning district. It
should also clearly describe items such as parking, building heigh t, setbacks and basic
property development standards.
The existing ordinance is structured so that each individual zoning district lists permitted and
conditionally permitted uses. One must flip back and forth to determine if a use such as a “bar
CC Page 47
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 07/12/16
and tavern” is permitted in the Commercial-Retail (CR) and Commercial-Neighborhood (CN)
zones. This makes it difficult for applicants and staff to interpret uses, especially when
assisting customers at the counter or for those individuals performing due diligence where a
business may be located. In 2011, the City amended the residential zoning portion of the code
that created a use table similar to the Downtown Zoning District. Uses are listed with a side by
side comparison of where one can locate within a district, as illustrated in Attachment 2. This
format will be utilized for all of the zoning districts.
Conclusion:
Only a few land use descriptions have been modified over the years while others have
remained in place. An update of the land use descriptions will enable staff to better interpret
uses that are more prevalent now and ensure definitions are less rigid for certain uses that the
City deems as vitally important to its growth and prosperity.
Finally, an opportunity exists to re-organize the Zoning Code to be more “user friendly”. This
reorganization should give staff, residents, and applicants the ability to easily review permitted
uses within a zoning district, as well as the opportunity to group “use t ables” within proper
categories such as residential, non-residential, and public facilities/use sections. This
“reorganization” does not constitute a code amendment. Instead it involves taking adopted
code sections and organizing them into a separate document that would be available to the
public.
Staff will return to the Planning Commission in August then to City Council in September with a
draft of the land use definitions along with a draft of the “Zoning Handbook”.
