Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
ALPS Three Bridges Trailhead Project Construction Award
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract with ABI (Andrew
Brown) General Engineering, Inc. for $394,498 to construct the ALPS Three
Bridges Trailhead Project; and
2. Authorize the Director of Public Works to file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder upon satisfactory completion of the project.
REPORT IN BRIEF:
The Atascadero Land Preservation Society (ALPS) Three Bridges Trailhead Project
Plans, Specifications and Estimates were completed, and the project was advertised for
public bid. Multiple contractors submitted bids, with a low bid of $394,498 for the
construction work. ALPS has completed the trail development work on the adjacent 103
acre property, with the intention of opening the trails to the public in the Spring of 2017.
If the construction contract is authorized, the City will begin construction in October, a nd
expects that construction will be substantially complete prior to the opening of the ALPS
trails.
DISCUSSION:
Background: In May 2011, the Atascadero Land Preservation Society (ALPS)
purchased the Three Bridges Oak Preserve property from the Davis fa mily for
$780,000. Since that time, ALPS has worked to fulfill their vision of developing a trail
system for hikers, equestrians, and non-motorized bicycles. Currently, ALPS intends to
open the trail system to the public in the Spring of 2017, with trail access to the ALPS
site via a path under the Highway 41 bridge, connecting to the Three Bridges Trailhead
on Carmelita Road.

ITEM NUMBER: A-2
DATE: 09/13/16
Initially, ALPS intended to include the construction of a small trailhead parking area as a
part of their trail project work. However, during the process of designing the trailhead, it
became clear that ALPS grant funds of $58,000 identified in the Na tural Resources
Agency grant for trailhead improvements would not be sufficient to cover the proposed
improvements. In January 2015, City Council authorized City staff to appropriate
$500,000 in Open Space Acquisition Funds to design and construct the trailhead
parking area and related emergency access road on City property (APN 055-161-003)
within the Carmelita Road right-of-way. In exchange for the City constructing the
trailhead improvements, ALPs recorded a Deed of Conservation Open Space and Tree
Preservation Easement ensuring that the 103 acre ALPS Three Bridges site is
preserved as open space in perpetuity.
Also in January 2015, the proposed trailhead design was reviewed and approved by the
City Council. Since that time, the City hired a consultant (Eikhoff Design Group) to
complete the Plans, Specifications and Estimates, and advertised and received bids for
construction of the Trailhead Access and Parking Area. Additionally, permits have been
issued by Caltrans, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and US Department of
Fish & Wildlife for work on the trailhead project.
During project construction, inconvenience is expected to be minimal for the three
adjacent property owners. The contractor will be required to maintain existing utility
services to the greatest extent possible, and City staff will work with contractor to
minimize impediments to access driveways. These property owners are aware of this
project and will be updated with a detailed construction schedule prior to work
beginning.
Since Carmelita Road does not allow vehicles through -access to the site from San
Gabriel Road, vehicles will be routed via Monita R oad to Sierra Vista Road to Andrita
Road to Casanova Road to Carmelita Road. During the design development phase of
the project, the City received comments concerning this curvy access route. An
analysis of existing street signage and striping was completed by City staff to address
these conditions, and offsite striping and signage improvements are included in the
work scope for this project.
Analysis: The project was advertised for a minimum of 30 days, starting July 22, 2016,
with the bid opening August 25, 2016. Multiple bids were received, ranging from
$394,498 to $479,720. The low bid of $394,498 was received from ABI General
Engineering, Inc. All bids were reviewed for accuracy and compliance with the City of
Atascadero bidding requirements and it is determined that ABI is the most responsive
bidder.
The project is included in the adopted FY 2015-2017 budget and is funded with
$558,000 through a combination of monies from the Open Space Acquisition Fees Fund
and a Donation from the Atascadero Land Preservation Society.
Conclusion: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
execute a contract with ABI General Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $394,498 for
construction of the ALPS Three Bridges Trailhead Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Award of the contract to ABI General Engineering Inc. will result in the expenditure of
$394,498 in budgeted Open Space Acquisition Fees Funds and donation funds. The
following table shows budgeted funding sources and projected expenditures for the
project.
BUDGET
Open Space Acquisition Fees Fund (Appropriated 1/27/2015) 500,000
Donation from Atascadero Land Preservation Society 58,000

Total Estimated Expenditure: $ 549,690
Estimated Project Net (Deficit): $ 8,310
ALTERNATIVES:
Council may reject staff’s recommendation and direct staff to rebid the project.
However, Staff believes the City received favorable bids and does not recommend this
alternative. ALPS is also nearing completion of the Three Bridges trail system, and
intends to open the trails to the public in April/May of 2017. If no trailhead has been
constructed by that time, trail users will have limited options for parking and access.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report - City Manager’s Office
Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act (DIVCA)
Proposed Draft Ordinance and
Charter Communications INET Agreement
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Introduce for first reading, by title only, the Draft Ordinance repealing uncodified
City Ordinance No. 137 and amending Title 1, Chapter 10 of the Atascadero
Municipal Code to add new sections 1-10.41 and 1-10.42 relating to the Digital
Infrastructure and Video Competition Act (DIVCA) and special provisions
applicable to holders of state video franchise; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to immediately execute an Agreement for INET
services with Charter Communications.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Atascadero previously held a local cable television/video provider franchise
agreement with Charter Communications which expired in July, 2016. Since the
enactment of the state franchise known as “DIVCA”, all local franchise holders are
required to move to the state franchise once their local franchise agreements expire.
The City no longer has authority to require a local franchise agreement from any cable
operator.
The Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006
The state franchise, formally known as the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition
Act of 2006 (DIVCA) was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger on September 29, 2006
and it became effective January 1, 2007. DIVCA is now the official franchise of the
state and as local agreements expire, all entities are required to move under the state
39
rlfWIFT
ITEM NUMBER: A-5
DATE: 09/13/16
franchise. Under DIVCA, cities still have some limited authority to maintain local control
over cable operators within their jurisdiction.
DIVCA allows for the collection of a franchise fee of 5% of gross revenues, which
matches the amount collected under our previously held local franchise agreement. It
provides for the continued carriage of Public/Educational/Government (PEG) channels
as well as the ability to collect PEG fees in the amount of up to 1% of gross revenues.
With the passage of this draft ordinance, the council may elect to implement via a
Resolution the PEG fee at a future date; this fee was not previously included in the
City’s local franchise agreement and has not previously been charged to Atascadero
cable subscribers. PEG fees may be used for the purchase of capital equipment related
to broadcasting of public meetings and events, such as broadcasting equipment, but
cannot be used to pay for broadcasting operations.
The ordinance will implement the City’s authority in relation to franchise fees, PEG
access, the authority to examine Charter’s records, and penalties for violation of federal
customer service standards. In order to comply with the state franchise requirements
and to secure its franchise authority and funding as permitted by DIVCA, staff
recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance.
The required change to the State Franchise agreement also affects services provided
by Charter to the City. All City facilities are connected via a series of fiber optic cables,
creating a fiber network which is also known as a fiber INET. This fiber INET allows all
City facilities to have access to necessary computer network functionality with minimal
network latency (delay). The City’s INET has been provided by Charter at no charge
under the previous local franchise agreement. With the expiration of the local franchise
agreement and as set forth in the state DIVCA, local cable television and INET services
are no longer provided free of charge to the City. Staff has negotiated an agreement
with Charter for a modified level of these services to be provided to the City under a
new business account. The fees for this service were anticipated and are reflected in
the current budget. Charter owns and operates the only available INET for City use and
therefore falls under Section III of the Purchasing Policy for Proprietary Goods.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no appreciable fiscal impact pertaining to the 5% franchise fee paid to the City,
which is already in effect, therefore levels would be comparable to those being received
in recent years.
The fiscal impact associated with the cost of INET services previously provided to the
City will total approximately $43,500 per year under this three year agreement, which is
included in the current technology budget.

ITEM NUMBER: A-5
DATE: 09/13/16
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Council could choose not to adopt the ordinance, or to provide direction to staff to
revise the ordinance.
2. Council could choose not to authorize the City Manager to execute an
Agreement with Charter Business for INET services. This would result in the loss
of internet and intranet connectivity to the City effective September 16, 2016.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
Marston’s 101 Restaurant
Request for Deferred Payment of Development Fees
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Approve the proposal from H&S Hospitality to defer payment of development
fees over a period of five years for construction of the restaurant and banquet
facility adjacent to Holiday Inn Express; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into agreements with H&S Hospitality to
defer the impact fees over a five year period .
DISCUSSION:
Background: In 2003, West Front Village was approved by City Council as a General
Plan Amendment with a Master Plan of Development. The project is a horizontal mixed -
use development consisting of office, retail, restaurant, and hotel areas located along
West Front Avenue and a residential component located off Portola Avenue . The latest
addition to the Master Plan, a restaurant and banquet room known as Marston’s 101 is
now complete. The property owner, Amar Sohi, who also owns Holiday Inn Express, is
asking if there is a possibility to defer the impact fees.
The Proposal
The City of Atascadero collects development impact fees at the time of building
completion (Occupancy). Now that the Marston’s 101 restaurant building is complete,
the impact fees were due before the City could grant final building occupancy. The
development impact fees for this project are $56,500.05. Due to unforeseen costs of
the development of the new restaurant and banquet room, the developer has sent the
City a letter requesting a deferral of payment for development fees. This request is
attached (Attachment 1).
48
ITEM NUMBER: A-6
DATE: 09/13/16
The developer is proposing that the City allow the payment of development fees to be
spread out over five years. Specifically, the request is to:
Amortize payments of the development fees of $56,500.05 over 5 years at
1.175% interest.
The interest rate being suggested is based on the last quarter’s (June 201 6)
yield on the City’s investment pool.
Full payment would be made in five years. Payments would be approximately
$11,700 annually, with an approximate balance of $11,717 due at five years.
The note would be secured with a second deed of trust, behind the construction
loan.
Since the developer has already paid the impact fees in order to open the
business on time, the City would refund the developer the amounts paid and
finance the amount over five years as outlined above.
While this proposal would result in a delay of payment for development fees, the new
restaurant will generate sales tax revenue and is an important supplement to the
adjacent hotel. Sales taxes from visitors’ spending money in the community and from
potential new businesses in the area will increase the annual revenues.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As a result of this agreement, receipt of impact fees would be delayed . Because these
fees will be paid over time, the development fees will not be immedia tely available.
However, the interest charged is expected to yield a neutral fiscal impact to the City.
The restaurant and banquet facility is expected to bring an overall increase in revenue
to the General Fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the developer’s request for assistance with modifications.
2. Deny the developer’s request for assistance.
3. Request more information from the developer and/or staff.

AGREEMENT FOR DEFERRAL OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
This Agreement for Deferral of Development Impact Fees (“Agreement”), dated for
reference purposes as first indicated on the cover page, is entered into by and between the C ITY
OF ATASCADERO, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and H & S HOSPITALITY,
LLC (“Developer”) on the following terms and conditions:
RECITALS
A. Developer is presently developing a Project on the Property located within the
City of Atascadero, California. The Developer will need to obtain permits and approvals for the
Project. A standard condition on the issuance of these permits will be the payment of City
imposed Permit and Processing Fees and Development Impact Fees. These Permit and
Processing Fees and Development Impact Fees are generally payable to the City at the time the
project applicant submits an application to the City for these permits and approvals.
B. The City has established a regular program of imposing the payment of specified
Permit and Processing Fees on the construction of new development projects within the City
with respect to the connection of the Project to City utility services as well as inspection and
processing of permits by various City departments. These fees are typically payable to the City
at the time the project applicant submits an application to the City for these permits and
approvals.
C. The City has established a regular program of the payment of specified
Development Impact Fees to offset impacts on public services from new development within the
City. These fees, listed below, are typically payable to the City at the time the project applicant
submits an application to the City for permits and approvals.
D. In certain instances the City acknowledges that it may be to the public’s benefit to
defer the payment of Permit and Processing Fees or Development Impact Fees until a specified
time after the issuance of the permit or approval, provided adequate security for the future
payment of the fees is provided. Generally where the project involves a significant capital
investment by the developer and will serve to either encourage further development of an area
where development has been stagnant or where the project will provide a needed service,
convenience, or accommodations to residents or visitors the City Council may find that the
project qualifies to have the payment of Permit and Processing Fees or Development Impact Fees
deferred.
E. Developer has requested that the Project be considered eligible for deferral of
Development Impact Fees. The City Council has found, based on the nature and location of the
Project and the convenience it will provide to residents of the City, that the Project qualifies for a
deferral under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Developer acknowledges and agrees
that absent this Agreement it would be required to pay all Development Impact Fees at the time
the Developer submits Project-related applications to the City.
F Developer and City acknowledge that the California Prevailing Wage law
normally applies to projects where public funds are used for construction or for the payment of
fees that are mandatory conditions of construction. In this case, City is not paying fees but is
52

DATE: 09/13/16
ATTACHMENT: 2
3
instead deferring payment of them. Developer is absolutely bound to pay all required fees, but
will be allowed to pay the Development Impact Fees over time, with interest. Developer and
City acknowledge that they have each and separately investigated California Prevailing Wage
Law and have each and separately determined that the City’s deferral of the Development Impact
Fees does not constitute a contribution of public funds to the Project, as defined by California
Labor Code Section 1720 and described in non-binding decisions issued by the Department of
Industrial Relations interpreting that Section. Notwithstanding the analysis and determination of
the parties, Developer acknowledges that if the Department of Industrial Relations determines
that the deferral of Development Impact Fees is found to constitute payment of public funds for
the Project, then the construction and construction-related activities for the Project would be
subject to the California Prevailing Wage Law and Developer would be required to pay the
general prevailing wage rates of per diem wages and overtime and holiday wages determined by
the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations under Section 1720, et seq., of the
California Labor Code for all covered work performed on the Project.

OPERATIVE PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made by
the parties and contained herein and other consideration, the value and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Deferral And Payment.
1.1 City’s Deferral. The City agrees that Developer may defer payment of the
Development Impact Fees imposed on the Project by City for the Payment Period provided
Developer remains in compliance with the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Agreement.
The parties acknowledge that City normally requires the payment of all Permit and Processing
Fees and Development Impact Fees at the time the project applicant submits an application to the
City for these permits and approvals. In this case, by virtue of this Agreement, the City will
issue permits and approvals for the Project, provided all other requirements for the issuance of
such permits have been met, even though the Developer will not have paid the Development
Impact Fees.
1.2 Developer’s Payment.
1.2.1 Permit and Processing Fees. Developer has paid all Permit and Processing
Fees imposed on the application.
1.2.2 Development Impact Fees. Developer covenants and agrees to timely pay
during the Payment Period the Development Impact Fees, together with all interest accrued
thereon, as provided in this Agreement. Developer acknowledges that Developer’s Property will
be encumbered by a lien created by the recording of a second Deed of Trust securing
Developer’s payment of the Development Impact Fees.
1.3 Other Government Fees. Developer understands and agrees that the City is
required to collect Other Government Fees that may be imposed on the Project. Developer
agrees to timely pay the Other Government Fees as required by the City. The Other Government
Fees are not subject to deferral pursuant to this Agreement.
1.4 Prevailing Wage Law. California Prevailing Wage law applies to projects where
public funds are used for construction or for the payment of fees that are mandatory conditions of
construction. Pursuant to Section 1.1 [City’s Deferral], City will defer payment of Development
Impact Fees, but will not itself pay any fees otherwise required to be paid by Developer.
Developer further agrees to pay interest on the deferred Development Impact Fees at the a rate
equivalent to the rate that the City would receive if the City had the Development Impact Fees in
hand and had invested those moneys in the City’s investment portfolio.
1.4.1 Deferral is not Payment of Public Funds. Developer is absolutely bound
to pay all required fees, but pursuant to Section 3 [Terms of Payment] will be allowed to pay
some of them over time, with interest pursuant to Section 3.2 [Payment Over Time]. The parties,
having each researched California Prevailing Wage Law, agree that this deferral is not a payment
of public funds pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1720(b). The deferral is instead a
55

market transaction with the Developer paying market rate interest for the opportunity to pay the
Development Impact Fees over time.
1.4.2 Developer’s Agreement to Comply With Prevailing Wage Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer acknowledges that if the Department of Industrial
Relations determines that the deferral of Development Impact Fees constitutes the payment of
public funds for the Project, then the construction and construction-related activities for the
Project would be subject to the Prevailing Wage Law and Developer would be required to pay
the general prevailing wage rates of per diem wages and overtime and holiday wages determined
by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations under Section 1720, et seq., of the
California Labor Code for all covered work performed on the P roject. Without limiting
Developer’s obligation to comply with all of the Prevailing Wage Law under the foregoing
scenario, Developer shall at minimum (a) require its contractors and subcontractors to submit
certified copies of payroll records to Developer; (b) maintain complete copies of such certified
payroll records; and (c) make such records available to the City and its designees for inspection
and copying during regular business hours at the Property or at another location within the
City. Under such scenario, Developer shall also obligate Developer’s contractors and agents to
comply with all such Prevailing Wage Laws.
1.4.3 Developer’s Agreement to Indemnify and Defend City. If the Department
of Industrial Relations determines that the deferral of Development Impact Fees constitutes the
payment of public funds for the Project, Developer further agrees that it shall indemnify and
defend the City from and against any and all present and future liabilities, obligations, orders,
claims, damages, fines, penalties and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of
or in any way connected with Developer’s obligation to comply with all Prevailing Wage Laws
with respect to the work of Public Improvements, including all claims that may be made by
contractors, subcontractors or other third party claimants pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1726
and/or 1781.

occupancy of the Project and with the understanding that the funds would be returned if this
Agreement were approved by the City Council. Upon such approval, and no less than fifteen (15)
days after execution of this Agreement by representatives of both parties, City shall issue to
Developer a check in the amount of $56,600.05 and Developer shall be obligated to pay the

the injured party for any and all damages caused by such Default, unless otherwise provided for

acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in
the office of the recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated, shall be conclusive proof

recorded and the name and address of the new Trustee.
(8) That this Deed applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs,

Staff Report - Community Development Department
Title 9 Planning and Zoning Text Amendments – Land Use Definitions
PLN 2016-1594
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends:
City Council introduce for first reading, by title only, Draft Ordinance A Amending Title 9 of
the Atascadero Municipal Code by Approving PLN 2016-1462/ZCH 2013-0168 Zoning
Ordinance Code Text Amendments.
REPORT IN BRIEF:
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 achieve Council’s goals, staff
has been working on improving what is known as the “Land Use Definitions” (Chapter 3
the City’s Zoning Code) for ease of use and to better reflect the economic landscape.
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 approp riate in each
zoning district. The proposed amendment to this section of the Zoning Code 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 Federal and State law, as well as, current
City policies.
Along with these amendments, some reorganization of the Zoning Code is being
proposed to simplfy the use of the code and to add descriptions of previously uncodified
zoning districts. This re-organization will group the zoning districts and their standards
into logical sections.
69
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 09/13/16
At the July 12, 2016 meeting, the City Council held a study session regarding land use
definitions. Similarly, the Planning Commission held a study session regarding land use
definitions on June 28, 2016. Based on these study sessions, staff brought proposed
land use definition amendments and reorganization of the Zoning Code to the Planning
Commission on August 16, 2016. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed
Zoning Ordinance amendments and recommended that the City Council approve the
proposed revisions.
DISCUSSION:
1. Applicant: City of Atascadero, 6500 Palma Ave.
Atascadero, CA 93422
2. General Plan Designation: Citywide
3. Zoning District: Citywide
4. Environmental Status: Exempt from CEQA (Section 15061(3)(b)). No
significant environmental impact.
The following analysis provides an outline of the proposed amendments and
reorganization of the Zoning Code – Title 9, Chapter 3 of the Atascadero Municipal
Code (AMC).
1. Article 1 – General Provisions
Staff proposes amendments to Article 1, General Provisions, specifically Section 9-
3.102. The amendments are shown in Attachment 3 and include:
Adding the description of three (3) missing zoning districts that were established
as a part of the 2002 General Plan Update as “official zoning districts” for
consistency with the City’s adopted General Plan as required by California
Government Code (CGC) §65860(a).
o Those zoning districts are the Downtown Commercial (DC); Downtown
Office (DO); and the Open Space (OS).
Re-organizing the City’s zoning districts into three main categories:
1. Agriculture & Residential Districts
2. Non-Residential Zoning Districts
3. Public Zoning Districts
2. Article 2 – Agriculture & Residential Zoning Districts
The agriculture and residential zoning districts are separated into two different articles
(Articles 2 and 3, respectively) within Chapter 3. The proposed amendment will repeal
these articles and bring these districts into one article to better organize this section for
ease of use. Article 2 would be organized as follows (Attachment 4):
70
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 09/13/16
1. Intent of the section
2. Purpose of each agriculture and residential zoning district
3. Allowed Use table
4. Minimum Lot sizes for each zoning district
5. Property Development Standards
3. Article 3 – Non Residential (Commercial) Zoning Districts
Currently the City’s development standards and use categories for non-residential
zoning districts reside in Articles 7 through 13, 17 and 18. Staff is proposing repealing
all these sections and replacing them with one singular article. Similar to the newly
proposed Article 2, Article 3 would be organized as follows (Attachment 5):
1. Intent of the section
2. Purpose of each zoning district
3. Allowed Use table
4. Property Development Standards for each zone
4. Article 4 – Public Zoning Districts
Similar to the City’s non-residential zoning districts, the City’s Public zoning districts
(zoning districts that are intended for public use such as parks, sensitive habitat areas,
and other municipal buildings such as the corporation yard) mirror that of other articles
that are currently codified. Staff is proposing repealing Articles 19 through 21 and
replacing it with one singular article. Similar to the newly proposed Articles 2 and 3,
Article 4 would be organized as follows (Attachment 6):
1. Intent of the section
2. Purpose of each zoning district
3. Allowed Use table
4. Property Development Standards for each zone
5. Article 5 – Land Use Definitions
The Land Use Definitions are currently in Article 29. Staff and the Planning Commission
recommend repealing this section and moving it to a newly created Article 5, Land Use
Definitions. This section is where the bulk of the code revisions are taking place.
The code revisions to the Land Use Definitions are based on the following five themes
(Attachment 2):
Proposed Amendment Criteria (Refer to Attachment 2)
1. Consolidation of land use definitions into broader categories while eliminating
redundancy in uses.
2. Elimination of land use definitions that would no longer apply to the City.
3. Adding Land Use descriptions and allowable uses that are currently not clearly
codified in the City’s Land Use descriptions, including uses that align with the
City’s economic development such as tourism, clean technology uses, and other
uses that produce jobs within the City.
71
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 09/13/16
4. Provide definitions for uses that are currently noted in the code but have no
existing definition.
5. Minor clarifications of existing land use definitions for consistency with current
Federal, State, and City laws and General Plan policies.
Many of the Land use definition amendments focus on two key area s: agriculture and
industrial uses. Other amendments include minor clarifications and legal clean-ups.
With the newly added definitions, staff included proposed zoning district categories and
land use entitlement requirements for the new definitions. As it exists today, each of the
land uses fit into each of the zoning categories with different levels of entitlement. For
example, land uses may be:
Allowed (A);
Allowed with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP);
Allowed with an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) or
Not Allowed
This Code amendment does not change the zoning for any property, nor does it
significantly alter what one can or cannot do on a particular property. Instead, these
definition amendments strive to clarify and provide better examples of today’s
commercial environment while respecting the existing commercial environment. This is
all being done with the intent of strengthening the City’s economic potential while
making it easier for both customers and staff to interpret land uses.
Attachment 2 includes a table of the current definitions, proposed definitions, proposed
revisions, and which criteria it met from the list above. Below is an example.

Proposed Environmental Determination
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15061(3)(b) exempts
activities which are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects
which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The
proposed text amendment will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts
associated with this project application.
Conclusion
The proposed text amendments to AMC Title 9, Chapter 3 are consistent with the
General Plan and have been identified by the City Council as a Strategic Planning
Action item. The proposed amendments modernize the City’s Land Use definitions for
key economic sectors such as manufacturing and retail uses. As a separate document,
staff is also producing a Zoning Handbook that will incorporate these Code revisions
into a streamlined, easy to read document that will be available at the Community
Development Counter and on the City’s website. Since the handbook does not involve
amendments to the Zoning Code and is simply a customer service document, it is not
included in this staff report but a draft of the handbook will be separately distributed to
the City Council for review and made available on the City’s website.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed land use definitions revision will have a fiscally positive impact on the
City. Additional land use definitions that have been added focus on land uses that are
not codified, allowing the City to streamline these types of uses. This will create
stronger economic development tools for job growth industries such as clean industry,
tourism, ag-based economy and other industries that foster entrepreneurship and focus
on strengthening the local economy.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council may recommend modifications of the text amendments.
2. The Council may determine that more information is needed on some aspect of
the proposed Zoning Code amendment and may refer the item back to staff to
develop the additional information. The Council should clearly state the type of
information that is required and move to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Council may recommend denial of some or all of the proposed text
amendments. The Council should specify the reasons for denial of the proposed
amendments and recommend an associated finding with such action.

This chapter establishes zoning districts and overlay districts in order to separate
incompatible land uses from each other by:
(a) Providing different zoning districts for agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial,
recreation and public uses;
(b) Establishing the approval procedure necessary to establish certain land uses in various
zoning districts; and
(c) Delineating between various uses for the purpose of regulating the location, height,
bulk, number of stories and size of buildings and structures; and, the use of lots, setbacks and
open spaces; and, the intensity of land uses.
In so doing, it is intended to implement the General Plan adopted pursuant to Government
Code Section 65300 et seq. (Ord. 68 § 9-3.101, 1983)
9-3.102 Zoning districts established.
The following zoning districts are established:
(a) Agricultural & Residential zoning districts:
(1) Agriculture—A;
(2) Residential Suburban—RS;

(2) Special Recreation—LS;
(3) Public—P;
(4) Open Space – OS.
9-3.103 Overlay districts established.
Overlay districts intended to protect public safety and the environment and to preserve
scenic, cultural and historic resources are established as follows:
(a) Overlay districts:
(1) Flood Hazard—FH;
(2) Geologic Hazard—GH;
(3) Historic Site—HS;
(4) Sensitive Resource—SR;
(5) Planned Development—PD;
(6) Emergency Shelters (ES) (9-3.501). (Ord. 571 § 1, 2013; Ord. 68 § 9-3.103, 1983)
9-3.104 Symbols used.
(a) Zoning Districts. The letter symbols listed after each zoning district in Section 9-
3.102(a) through (c) shall be used to designate the location of various zoning districts on the
official zoning maps (Section 9-1.102).
(b) Overlay Districts. The letter symbols listed after each overlay district in Section 9-
3.103(a) shall be appended to the base zoning district and be placed in parentheses thereafter to
designate the location of various overlay districts on the official zoning maps (Section 9-1.102).
Example: Residential Suburban as the base zone within a Flood Hazard and Geologic Hazard
overlay area would show on the official zoning maps as RS (FH) (GH).
(c) Density in Residential Multiple-Family Zoning District. A number specifying the
maximum permitted number of dwelling units per net acre in multiple-family residential zoning
districts shall be appended to the base zoning district to designate the density on the official
zoning maps (Section 9-1.102). Example: Residential Multiple Family allowing twenty (20)
units per net acre within a Historic Site overlay area would show on the official zoning maps as
RMF/20 (HS).

ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 09/13/16
(d) Minimum Lot Size in Residential and Agricultural Zoning District Areas. A symbol
specifying the minimum lot size in acres in certain residential zoning districts shall be appended
to the base zoning district and be placed following a hyphen thereafter where necessary to
designate the minimum lot size on the official zoning maps (see Section 9-1.102).
Example: Residential single-family with a half-acre minimum lot size in a Flood Hazard
Overlay Zone would show on the official zoning maps as RSF-X(FH). Minimum lot size will not
always be shown on the official maps especially in zoning districts where the minimum size is
uniform, in circumstances where Chapter 9-6 establishes minimum sizes for some, but not all,
uses within a zoning district, and where performance standards identified for certain zoning
districts in this chapter are used to establish the minimum lot size. (Ord. 554 § 2, 2011; Ord. 68
§ 9-3.104, 1983)
9-3.104
9-3.105 Off-site sale of new and used automobiles and trucks is prohibited.

This chapter establishes zoning districts and overlay districts in order to separate
incompatible land uses from each other by:
(a) Providing different zoning districts for agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial,
recreation and public uses;
(b) Establishing the approval procedure necessary to establish certain land uses in various
zoning districts; and
(c) Delineating between various uses for the purpose of regulating the location, height,
bulk, number of stories and size of buildings and structures; and, the use of lots, setbacks and
open spaces; and, the intensity of land uses.
In so doing, it is intended to implement the General Plan adopted pursuant to Government
Code Section 65300 et seq. (Ord. 68 § 9-3.101, 1983)
9-3.102 Zoning districts established.
The following zoning districts are established:
(a) Agricultural & Residential zoning districts:
(1) Agriculture—A;.
(b) Residential zoning districts:

Overlay districts intended to protect public safety and the environment and to preserve
scenic, cultural and historic resources are established as follows:
(a) Overlay districts:
(1) Flood Hazard—FH;
(2) Geologic Hazard—GH;
(3) Historic Site—HS;
(4) Sensitive Resource—SR;
(5) Planned Development—PD;
(6) Emergency Shelters (ES) (9-3.501). (Ord. 571 § 1, 2013; Ord. 68 § 9-3.103, 1983)
9-3.104 Symbols used.
(a) Zoning Districts. The letter symbols listed after each zoning district in Section 9-
3.102(a) through (c) shall be used to designate the location of various zoning districts on the
official zoning maps (Section 9-1.102).
(b) Overlay Districts. The letter symbols listed after each overlay district in Section 9-
3.103(a) shall be appended to the base zoning district and be placed in parentheses thereafter to
designate the location of various overlay districts on the official zoning maps (Section 9-1.102).
Example: Residential Suburban as the base zone within a Flood Hazard and Geologic Hazard
overlay area would show on the official zoning maps as RS (FH) (GH).
(c) Density in Residential Multiple-Family Zoning District. A number specifying the
maximum permitted number of dwelling units per net acre in multiple-family residential zoning
districts shall be appended to the base zoning district to designate the density on the official
zoning maps (Section 9-1.102). Example: Residential Multiple Family allowing twenty (20)
units per net acre within a Historic Site overlay area would show on the official zoning maps as
RMF/20 (HS).
(d) Minimum Lot Size in Residential and Agricultural Zoning District Areas. A symbol
specifying the minimum lot size in acres in certain residential zoning district s shall be appended
to the base zoning district and be placed following a hyphen thereafter where necessary to
designate the minimum lot size on the official zoning maps (see Section 9-1.102).
Example: Residential single-family with a half-acre minimum lot size in a Flood Hazard
Overlay Zone would show on the official zoning maps as RSF-X(FH). Minimum lot size will not
always be shown on the official maps especially in zoning districts where the minimum size is
uniform, in circumstances where Chapter 9-6 establishes minimum sizes for some, but not all,
uses within a zoning district, and where performance standards identified for certain zoning
districts in this chapter are used to establish the minimum lot size. (Ord. 554 § 2, 2011; Ord. 68

Article 4. Public Zoning Districts
9-3.410 Intent.
This chapter lists the land uses that may be allowed within primarily public zoning districts
established by Section 9-3.102 (Zoning Districts), determines the type of planning permit /
approval required for each uses, and provides basic lot size and development standards for
specific zones.
9-3.420 Purposes of the Non-Residential Zoning Districts.
The purposes of the individual public zoning districts and the manner in which they are
applied are as follows:
(a) L (Recreation) Zoning District. This zone is established to provide suitable locations
and standards for the development of recreational facilities accommodating the needs of
the general public.
(b) LS (Special Recreation) Zoning District. This zone is established to provide suitable
locations and standards for the development of recreational facilities on land in private
ownership. This zone also provides for residential and agricultural uses where intensive
recreational activity may not be appropriate.
(c) P (Public) Zoning District. This zone is established to provide suitable locations and
standards for the maintenance and development of public and quasi-public facilities and
services.
(d) OS (Open Space) Zoning District. This zone is established to cover areas with
environmentally sensitive natural or cultural resources and generally is intended to
remain free of structures but may be developed with low intensity recreational
improvements, where appropriate.
This zoning definition has been pulled
from the City’s General Plan for
consistency

the Turtle Cow is Susan Schafer of Santa Margarita. This will provide
Susan a local platform to showcase her talent as well.
The sponsorship investment for the Cow totals $7,000. In an effort to
make this happen, the City, the Atascadero Tourism Board Improvement
District (ATBID) and Supervisor Debbie Arnold came together to sponsor
the Cow. The funds for the Cow came from the approved Marketing
Plans/ Budget from both the City and the ATBID. In return for this
investment, Cow Parade SLO will have a n aggressive marketing
campaign during this time with $300,000 across the CowParadeSLO.com
website, brochures and maps, television commercials, print ads, direct
mail, digital ads and social media mentions. This campaign will span from
September 2016 through April 2017. The Cow will be auctioned off in May
2017 and the Friends of the Charles Paddock Zoo will be the charity to
receive those dollars and any donations leading up to auction.
We will welcome our Cow to the City on September 30th from 5:30 – 7:30
p.m. with a “CowTail Block Party” that will start with a ribbon cutting in
Sunken Gardens and we will then walk to two other Cow locations at The
Carlton and a third at Grape Encounters Empourium. The two additional
cows are visiting Atascadero until they find a sponsor. The location of the
two additional cows are strategically placed to give folks an opportunity to
walk around and see our downtown area.

2015-16 Draft Marketing Plan Update
UPDATES Highlighted
Capture June – August 2016
Executive Summary
The City of Atascadero Marketing Plan is designed to promote the City’s assets and events
that appeal to local and County residents as well as encourage visitors who are already
here to stay, spend and enjoy. The Plan is designed with a focus on local businesses to
attract and promote shopping local. Growth in retail and restaurant sales will help attract
more business to the area, which would then foster economic growth. This Marketing Plan
integrates and compliments the information from the Atascadero Tourism & Promotion
Game Plan by the Coraggio Group and the Atascadero Tourism (ATBID) Marketing Plan by
Verdin Marketing.
The City’s assets are defined as the Downtown core with historic City Hall, Galaxy Theater,
Charles Paddock Zoo, Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial, Atascadero Lake Park, Pavilion
on the Lake, A-Town Skate Park and Chalk Mountain Golf Course.

o Millenials with no children from 28-35 years old.
o Families aged 25-54 with more than one school aged child.
o Retirees and Baby Boomers over 55, either couples or social groups
often “inter-generationally” traveling with extended family (but often
paying for family members).
o Childless couples from 30-54 years old.
o “Bleisure” travelers who combine work travel with extra days with
family or friends at a destination.
o Key event travelers
While most Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) want to target
millennial travelers, research continues to show that 40-60 year olds still
travel the most and have the most discretionary income. However, future
travelers will come from the Millennial age groups and they still have strong
preferences for their vacations:
36% of Millennials want a beach vacation this year
35% of Millenials want a “culture–oriented” trip
24% of Millenials want adventure-oriented trips
7 out of 10 Millenials report they have FOMO (Fear of Missing
Out!)

an all-time high due to road trips being more popular. (Please refer to

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Centennial Bridge and Plaza Project Update
RECOMMENDATION:
Council review staff report and attachments and provide any feedback or questions after
staff presentation.
REPORT IN BRIEF:
The Downtown Pedestrian Bridge and Centennial Plaza Project was previously brought
to a 60% design level in December, 2011. At that time, the project was shelved due to
the loss of funding resulting from the dissolution of the Community Redevelopment
Agency of Atascadero. However, proceeds from the 2010 City Lease Revenue Bonds
exceeded the amount needed to complete the City Hall Rehabilitation Project, and the
amount of $3,025,070 was allotted in the current budget to complete the Centennial
Bridge and Plaza Project. Updated 60% design plans and cost estimates including the
modifications were received in August and are being reviewed by staff.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The 2005 Downtown Revitalization Plan envisioned an Atascadero Creek pedestria n
bridge and Creekside trail that would connect Downtown to Colony Square (following
page). The bridge portion of the project reached 60% design completion in 2011, but
was subsequently shelved in January 2012 with the dissolving of the Redevelopment
Agency. With changes in Redevelopment close-out laws and the completion of the
Historic City Hall Project, the Centennial Bridge and Plaza Project got new life with the
transfer of $3,025,070 from the remaining 2010 Bond proceeds.
198

DATE: 09/13/16
During the design phase in 2011, staff created a Conceptual Plan for the north side of
Atascadero Creek (see below) which included the addition of Centennial Plaza, a
pathway connection from El Camino Real to Lewis Avenue an d reconstruction of the
parking lot at the southwest corner of East Mall and Lewis Avenue. Due to constraints
at the time, the parking lot reconstruction and pathway connection were not included in
the final design scope. However, they were planned for a later date.
When project funding became available again in 2015, City staff revisited the project
and determined that doing the entire project (bridge, plaza, trail, and parking lot) at one
time would be the most cost effective method of delivering the project. Based upon
project cost estimates from 2011, it was concluded that current funding will allow for the
inclusion of most of the design elements shown on the Centennial Plaza Concept Plan,
with the addition of improvements at the southern bridge landing area adjacent to the
old City Hall building. These improvements are consistent with the Downtown
Revitalization Plan, and will provide the following features and public benefits:
199
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 09/13/16
Better wayfinding to the bridge from the Colony Park parking lot;
Increased public safety and wider path by removing the two large raised
planter areas and replacing with a paved plaza; and
Better aesthetics and project completeness by matching elements from
the Centennial Plaza to the south plaza and opening the view with better
line of sight.
Project Status Update:
Since the authorization by City Council in March to proceed with the project as
schematically designed and complete revised design plans, staff has been working
closely with the North Coast Engineering (NCE) design team. NCE completed
additional survey and subsurface utility location, confirmed site layout, and in August
submitted updated 60% design plans and estimates for City review. Attached to this
report are selected sheets from the 60% Plan Set for reference. (Attachment 1)
When the project was originally designed in 2011, significant effort was spent to
minimize environmental and visual impa cts. Where possible, existing vegetation is to
remain, and new improvements are designed to fit the topography and complement the
creek setting. However, some tree removal will be required during construction of the
project improvements. The original arborist report identified the removal of fifteen (15)
trees at the proposed bridge crossing, including willow, cottonwood, walnut and oak
200
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 09/13/16
trees. As part of the project, a habitat and mitigation plan has been prepared which
includes replacement of native trees at the City’s approved ratio. Additional tree
removals will be required as a result of the parking lot replacement. These removals
are limited to the four (4) existing London Plane trees in the planter area. These trees
are not native and do not require mitigation, and the new parking area will include new
landscaping with drought-tolerant trees and shrubs.
The City is fortunate to have this opportunity to improve downtown pedestrian
circulation, increase access and visibility to the Historical Society Colony House, add
valuable public spaces, and remove several vacant and unused structures. The
reconstruction of the City Hall parking lot alone will add 42 additional parking spaces to
the downtown area while improving the aesthetics and decreasing pollution into
Atascadero Creek. The City has also had inquiries of the project status from developers
in Colony Park and elsewhere nearby.
Schedule:
Project engineering design will be completed by January 2017, followed by bidding and
award of a construction contract. The project remains on schedule to break ground in
late-spring 2017, with an anticipated completion of fall 2017.
At this time Public Works staff does not foresee any issues which will delay
construction, although there are several environmental permits and protected animal
species which do have the potential to impact construction timelines.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Current engineer estimates and project costs are tracking within current budget
projections. The cost estimate will be refined with future project submittals.
No fiscal impact with this update. If Council prefers to make significant revisions to the
60% preliminary plans, there could be some additional consultant fees to make those
revisions.

finished product and pavement life. In January 2016, Earth Systems Pacific completed
full deflection and core testing, and prepared a report with pavement rehabilitation
recommendations. City staff then issued an RFP for final design and preparation of
Project Plans, Specifications and Estimates. Rick Engineering was awarded the design
contract and worked closely with Earth Systems Pacific and City staff to prepare a final
design which addresses the root cause of roadway degradation on each roadway
segment, whereby providing a cost-effective, long-term solution.
It should be noted that a one -size-fits-all approach to roadway rehabilitation would not
best serve the goal of maximizing the life of the roadways at a re asonable cost. Many
of the causes of the existing roadway degradation are due to subgrade failures, either
as a result of poor drainage patterns or inadequate initial construction related to
insufficient pavement section thicknesses or improperly compacted subgrade or base.
While a simple asphalt overlay would improve ride quality in the short term, the
fundamental structural inadequacies if left unfixed would soon cause the same failures
to reappear. Subsequently, much of this project focuses on reconstructing portions of
the roadway segments where the most significant issues were located, and as such is
more labor intensive and costly per square foot of construction than an overlay.
Analysis:
The Project was advertised for a minimum of 30 days, starting July 22, 2016, with the
bid opening on August 23, 2016. Three bids were received, ranging from
$1,594,186.65 to $1,724,810.02. The low bid of $1,594,186.65 was submitted by R.
Burke Corporation. All bids were reviewed for accuracy and compliance with the City of
Atascadero bidding requirements, and it was determined that R. Burke Corporation was
the lowest responsive bidder.
All bids came in higher than expected, however, bid prices were reviewed by staff and
found to be reasonable and acceptable. It is not entirely clear why the bids came in
higher than expected, as the engineering estimates were based on recently constructed
public projects. However, bidder interest in general has been low and unit prices higher
than expected over the last 1 -2 years, likely as a result of the increase in private
construction activity. Contractors have been busy, materials are in high demand, and

available labor is difficult to find. Additionally, as noted in the Background Discussion,
during detailed design of this project many of the roadway segments were determine d
to have significant underlying drainage and substructure failures. These issues were
not observable during the pavement assessment process, but were discovered during
the coring and deflection testing. The work required to fix these failed sections is time
and labor intensive, and increased the overall cost of construction.
Staff was involved heavily in value engineering during the design process. Each
roadway segment was analyzed to determine where underlying structural issues
existed, and where the pavement degradation was confined to the surface courses and
could be remedied with a maintenance treatment. As an example, appropriate
improvements for Cascabel Road were discussed in length. The current PCI for the
road segment is 26, which indicates a failed roadway structure and would typically
necessitate a full roadway reconstruction. Given approximate square footage costs for
roadway reconstruction, the expected cost to rebuild Cascabel Road would be near $1
million. However, this is for a non-through residential road serving 36 parcels. As such,
City staff, Earth Systems and Rick Engineering worked together to pinpoint the worst
areas, determine the causes of failure, (drainage issues, poorly compacted subgrade
fill, insufficient structural section, etc.), and focus the major repairs at these locations.
Using this approach, the construction bid is approximately half of a full reconstruction.
It is the City’s practice to ensure that there is a 20% contingency built into budgeted
project funds if problems are encountered in the field during construction or if actual
quantities exceed projections. The project has many of the items bid by area rather
than by weight or volume. Given that the area is well known and documented, this
reduces the risk of change orders due to changes in quantities. Staff is comfortable
reducing the contingency for the project to 15%. While it is not anticipated that
problems will be encountered with the project, this would allow staff to address any
issues that arise without stopping the project to return to Council for authorization to
proceed.
Upon review of received bids, staff identified the 3/8” Asphalt Rubber Chip Seal on
Cascabel Road as an item which could be replaced with a lower cost alternative to
offset the higher than expected construction costs. City staff has spoken with R. Burke
Construction regarding this substitution and the Contractor is agreeable to this change,
which the City intends to implement as a change order upon approval of the project.
This revision will result in a decrease in total project cost of approximately $115,830.
Staff checked the bid sheets and verified that implementation of this proposed change
order would not have changed the order of the project bidders.
With the higher than expected bids and the prudent contingency funds included, staff is
recommending adding an additional $408,400 in Measure F-14 Funds to the Project
budget. As always, all remaining unused budgeted funds (including unused
contingency funds) at the end of the project remain as part of the fund balance and
would be available for future Measure F-14 projects. Adequate fund balance exists in
the Measure F-14 Fund to cover the recommended additional appropriation.
During construction some inconvenience is expected to vehicular and pedestrian traffic
along the roadway segments. The contractor will be required to prepare a traffic control

plan, and City staff will work with the contractor to minimize travel delays and
impediments to driveways. Property owners on each roadway segment will be notified
of the construction schedule prior to work beginning.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project is included in the adopted FY 2015-2017 budget and is funded with
$1,536,850 in Measure F-14 Funding. An additional appropriation of $408,400 from the
Sales Tax Measure F-14 Projects Fund balance is necessary to cover potential project
shortfalls, but the fund contains adequate reserves to cover the shortfall.

ALTERNATIVES:
Council may reject staff’s recommendation and direct staff to rebid the project with a
later completion date in an effort to receive more favorable bid proposals. However,
there is no guarantee of lower bids and doing so will push this project out into the spring
of 2017.
