DISCUSSION. US Highway 101 runs through the heart of Atascadero with El Camino Real paralleling it. The interchanges over US 101 are narrow two lane bridges with no turn pockets for left hand turns onto the freeway ramps. Frontage road are in close proximity to the ramps. All this combines to cause a poor level of service and congestion for the traveling public. The conventional way to improve the traffic flow through an interchange is to widen the bridge and realign the ramps. The cost for this improvement is in the tens of million dollars and rising, as shown in the continuing increasing cost for the US 101' /SR 41 Interchange Project. A cost effective way to help to improve the flow of traffic on an interchange is with operational improvements. Operational improvements are changes in the signing and striping, increasing sight distance, moving ramps away from the bridges to allow controlled turning movements, closing or controlling frontage roads, construction of round -a -bouts -or signals at the ramp heads and other improvements. These improvements will not fix all of the circulation problems on the interchanges, but they will provide a better level of service. 56 ITEM NUMBER: A-4 DATE: 05/09/06 Staff sent out a Request for Proposals for the Operational Improvements to Interchanges. We requested the consultant study Santa Barbara, Santa Rosa, Curbaril, Traffic Way, San Anselmo and Del Rio Interchanges. Four qualified companies returned proposals for this work. Upon opening the proposals, they were rated on the following aspects, with a possible of 100 points: past experience in the public sector (20), adequacy of professional staff and depth of firm resources (15), scope of services to be provided by the firm (20), past experiences in the design of similar facilities (15), ability to meet project schedule (10), fee for work (20). Based on these criteria a firm called W -Trans had the highest overall score. This firm specializes in Operational Improvement Projects. The proposed cost of their services is $153,960.00. Staff recommends that the City enter into a contract with W -Trans. FISCAL IMPACT: REVENUE 2005/2007 Capital Budget $120,000 Regional State Highway Account Funds (RSHA) $50,000 TOTAL $170,000 Note: The RSHA funds were recently awarded by San Luis Council of Governments and are not in the current budget. EXPENSES Contract Costs $153,960 Administration $14,000 TOTAL $167,960 ALTERNATIVES: Do not Award Contract. There would not be an Interchange Operational Improvements Traffic Study done. 57 u • ITEM NUMBER: A-5 DATE: 05/09/06 191i i 19 6 Atascauero City Council Staff Report - Public Works Department Temporary Road Closure Del Rio and Obispo Roads RECOMMENDATION: Council approve the request from Dave Spurr Excavating for the temporary closure of portions of Del Rio Road and a partial closure of Obispo Road. DISCUSSION: Construction of a sewer main extension on the portion of Del Rio Road between EI Camino Real and Obispo Road is required for service to newly constructed homes on Obispo Road. The width of Del Rio Road is not sufficient to safely allow for construction equipment and one lane of flagman -controlled traffic, as would be considered ideal. The Contractor anticipates that the construction in Obispo Road can be accomplished with a lane closure and flagging. In the event that site conditions do not allow partial closure, full closure will be required for an estimated three to four day period and the required detour signage will be installed. The request is for closure of the roadway from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., May 22"d thru June 9th. As a condition of approval, the contractor will be required to install informational signs a minimum of one week in advance giving notice of the closure. Traffic will be detoured as indicated on the attached map.

PC VOTE: 5 - 2 (Commissioner O'Keefe and Beraud dissenting) approving Variance 2005-0009 The City received a formal code violation complaint from a neighbor immediately after a 6 -foot high fence was constructed within the front yard of a single-family residence located at 9186 Palomar Avenue. Other than on lots over one -acre in size, the zoning code only allows a front yard fence to be a maximum of 3 feet in height. After being contacted by Code Enforcement, the owner, Mr. Roy, consulted with planning staff for options. Staff made it clear that the fence could not be approved. Mr. Roy insisted on applying for a variance if his fence -was not approved. Staff consistently explained to Mr. Roy that variance findings could not be made and any such application would result in denial However, Mr. Roy applied for variance. At no time did staff encourage Mr. Roy to apply, submit fees, or suggest that the Commission would approve the variance. Planning Commission discussion focused on debating the findings for variance vs. the fact that the fence was already constructed and that the house wasconstructedwith bedrooms facing the street. No findings for approval were made in the motion to approve the variance. 62 At the subsequent Planning Commission meeting, the Commission voted 4-2 (Jones absent) to adopt findings of variance approval. There was no discussion or determination for any of the required findings. An appeal of the Planning Commission's approval is being forwarded to the City Council to review the basis by which each of the Findings for approval was made. The appellant believes the Findings for approval cannot be based on the fact that: (1) The fence has already been constructed; (2) Other illegal fences may occur in the neighborhood; (3) Mr. Roy believes he was misguided by code enforcement staff; and Community Development staff. During the Planning Commission hearing, one of the Commissioners raised the possibility that the fence may be located in the street right-of-way. The City Engineer has completed a survey of Palomar Avenue and determined the fence is located in the street right-of-way and not on Mr. Roy's property. Situation and Facts: 1. Appellant: Joan O'Keefe, 6907 EI Camino Real, Atascadero, CA 2. Project Location: 9186 Palomar Avenue, Atascadero, CA 93422 (San Luis Obispo County) APN 029-201-026 3. General Plan Designation: Single -Family Residential —Y (SFR -Y) 4. Zoning District: Residential Single -Family -Y (RSF-Y) 5. Existing Use; Single -Family Residence 6. Environmental Status: Categorical Exemption 15305. Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations. DISCUSSION: Background: In July 2005, the City of Atascadero received a complaint concerning the construction of a solid wood fence located within the front setback within a single-family residential neighborhood located at 9186 Palomar Avenue. According to the applicant, the fence was constructed to replace mature landscaping which had previously provided a solid screen to the applicant's front yard (Refer to photos below). The applicant was not aware of the City's Zoning Ordinance which prohibits fencing beyond 3 -feet tall within the front yard setback at the time of construction. Without knowledge that 'the fence was constructed in the City right-of-way, Staff discussed issues with the applicant and recommended potential remedies in lieu of.the front yard fence including: 63 (1) Lowering the fence height to 3 feet; • (2) Constructing a privacy fence behind the front setback; (3) Planting a tree or shrub in the area of concern; or (4) Installing vertical or horizontal window blinds and/or curtains. In addition, staff, made it clear that the existing fence could not be approved as a variance application. The applicant has rejected all staff recommendations and has applied for a variance under the belief that the fence is imperative for their bedroom privacy and staff is incorrectly interpreting the Atascadero Municipal Code for granting a variance approval. On February 7, 2006, the application was forwarded to the Planning Commission for denial as the existing fence is in direct violation of the Atascadero Municipal Code and in its present form and location is not an item subject to a variance application. The Planning Commission discussed several issues regarding the applicant's privacy issue, the property line/fence location, and the legal requirement for a variance. The Commission voted 6 -0 to continue the item to February 21, 2006 for additional information regarding the variance and municipal code issues which are analyzed below. On February 21, 2006 the Planning Commission voted 5=2 to approve the variance request. On March 3, 2006, an Appeal was submitted, requesting that the City Council uphold staff's recommendation to deny the Variance. On March 7, 2006, the Planning Commission adopted the required findings on a 5 -2 vote. The Commission did not provide comment on the pending Appeal or the required Findings but did approve the Findings as listed in their resolution. In March 2006, The City Engineer completed a survey of Palomar Avenue which identifies the fence as projecting up to 3 feet into the City right-of-way. Improvements within the public right-of-way require an encroachment permit with a $720 fee which is required in the event the fence were to be approved by the City Council. 0 The following specific items were discussed by the Planning Commission and have been analyzed by staff to aide the City Council in reaching a finding determination for the proposed project: (1) Definition of a Variance (Government Code Section 65906): Variances from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances applicable to a property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. Variances are only applied to very unique situations -where no feasible alternatives exist. Staff Comment: The variance is a request for additional front window privacy by which similar arguments could be made for most residential lots. The characteristics associated with the applicant's property (size, shape, topography, location and surroundings) are commonly shared with single-family residential neighborhoods throughout the City. Atascadero residential neighborhood roads intersect, turn, bend, change direction, and slope up and down. Atascadero residential homes have front windows and doors that commonly face these neighborhood streets with landscaping, window curtains and sometimes lower decorative front yard fencing, often designed for aesthetics and home privacy. The subject property is not unique to Atascadero and the only special circumstance associated with this property is that the applicant has already constructed the fence in question which. is not a qualifying circumstance for a variance. (2) Variance Findings: Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges. inconsistent with the limitations ,upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated. Staff Comment: Again, the characteristics associated with the applicant's property (size, shape, topography, location and surroundings) and relationship to the neighborhood roads are commonly shared with single-family residential 65 • • neighborhoods throughout the City. The requested adjustment cannot be considered as a variance as the request constitutes a grant of special privilege as the subject property and the home front windows are not special or unique to the single-family residential neighborhoods of Atascadero. (3) Fence Height Required by Code Section 9-4.128: Fencing within a required front or corner yard setback in the RSF-Y zoning district can be a maximum of three (3) feet in height. Staff Comment: The existing fence must be removed or lowered to 3 -feet in height within the 25 -foot front yard setback of this property. Staff also notes that the codes only allows a taller fence in the larger lot (1 -acre or larger) residential neighborhoods. The City Council recently reviewed these fencing requirements in 2005 and their final determination on fence heights is reflected in the current fencing code. (4) Safety/Sight Distance: Street intersections and driveways are reviewed by the City for sight distance to identify safe vehicular travel where roads and driveways intersect. Sight -distance is measured at point 3 -feet high at the applicant's driveway, 12 feet back from the paved road edge, to a distance of 150 feet (for a 25 mph zone) in either direction. The fence shall not impair safe sight distance for vehicular traffic nor result in any other potential adverse impact on human health and safety (refer to engineering standard: Minimum Sight Distance for Driveways and Intersecting Roads with Stop Control). Staff Comment: The applicant's 6 -foot high fence does not violate this standard. (5) Similar Enforcement or Requests: Staff receives weekly inquiries regarding fence height and placement in residential zones. Similar code enforcement cases have been resolved by the offending property owners either lowering, or relocating, or removing their non -conforming fences. Staff Comment: Staff is concerned that this variance will create a precedent that will undermine enforce of the fencing standards. (5) Staff was unclear about process: The applicant stated that code enforcement staff identified the complainant as not residing in the immediate neighborhood, and the Community Development staff led the applicant to believe that the Variance could be approved by the Planning Commission. Staff Comment: Staff consistently explained to the applicant that a variance did not apply and any such application would result in denial. However, Mr. Roy insisted on proceeding to convince the Planning Commission otherwise. At no time did staff encourage Mr. Roy to apply, submit fees, or suggest that the Planning Commission would approve the variance. (6) The Fence is Located in the Street Right -of -Way A survey by the City Engineer has concluded that the fence was actually constructed in the street. Objects and structures are not permitted in the street right-of-way unless the City 93 Fence located in street right- of-way has granted an encroachment permit. If the Council upholds the variance then an encroachment permit would also need to be approved. Staff Comment: Staff is very concerned about granting both a variance and an encroachment permit for the fence. The street right-of-way is already narrow and granting an encroachment permit would limit the City's ability to make street improvements or install utilities in the future. In addition, this action would set a precedent for future fence encroachment permits. 67 0 � 1�1 • IN Monumen ^a in Wal( 1 a✓✓ ` Parke! 2 A ur y 8 PM' 99 antral y� ~C1.

Disapproval shall be made when the City Council determines that the Variance does not satisfy criteria set forth in Government Code Section 65906 by finding that: (i) The variance constitutes a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zoning district in which such property is situated, or Staff Comment: The Variance request constitutes a grant of special privilege as the subject property location and the home front windows are not special or unique to the single-family residential neighborhoods of Atascadero. The Variance is a request for special privilege and will set precedence for future non -conforming fences that are currently resolved by staff through compliance with the municipal code. (ii) There are no special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, which would, upon application of this title, deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same zoning district, or - Staff Comment: The characteristics associated with the applicant's property (size, shape, topography, location and surroundings) and relationship to the AM neighborhood roads are commonly enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same zoning district. There is no special circumstance associated with this property. (iii) The variance would authorize a use which is not otherwise allowed in the zoning district, or Staff Comment: this finding does not apply to the request. (iv) The granting of such variance would, under the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, adversely affect the health or safety of persons, be materially detrimental to the public welfare, or be injurious to nearby property or improvements. Staff Comment: According to the City Engineer, the fence does not interfere with driveway sight distance per City standards. However, the fence is within the public -right-of-way and if approved, would require issuance of an encroachment permit. Conclusion: The requested Variance application does not apply to the applicant's existing front yard fence as there is no special circumstance associated with this property. In addition, the Variance is a request for special privilege and will set precedence for future non -conforming fences that are currently resolved by staff through compliance with the Municipal Code. The above stated Findings for Denial of the request are contained in Draft Resolution A (Attachment 5). If denied, the applicant will have the ability to modify his fence and/or landscaping in compliance with the Atascadero Municipal Code. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council may determine that more information is needed on some aspect of the appeal and may refer the item back to the appellant, applicant or 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. 2. The Council may deny the appeal and grant an encroachment permit.

RECOMMENDATION: Council adopt the Interim Urgency Ordinance establishing a moratorium on conversions of residential units to condominiums. This action extends the moratorium for 10 months " and 15 days. DISCUSSION: Background: On March 28, 2006, the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance that established a moratorium on conversions of residential units to condominiums. The urgency ordinance is effective for 45 days, or May 12th. The proposed action would extend the urgency for ten months and 15 days (to March 27, 2007). This is the maximum time that Council may extend the moratorium, but as always, the Council could extend the time for a shorter period of time. Staff has scheduled an agenda item for the June 14th Council meeting to discuss and review the condominium conversion ordinance. It is anticipated that the revised ordinance will be effect before the expiration of the moratorium period. Staff has also attached a written report on the progress being made to alleviate those conditions that lead to the adoption of the moratorium. In the past year, the City of Atascadero has received an increasing number of applications and inquiries from apartment owners interested in converting their rental units into for -sale condominiums. The issue was presented to the Council on SSeptember 9, 2005 and on March 14, 2006, and the Council expressed interest in exploring ways to control the rate of condominium conversions and to preserve the City's affordable housing stock. 78 ITEM NUMBER: B-2 DATE: 05/09/06 _ Prior History Over the years, typically during times when housing prices have been disproportional to rental levels, there has been an interest by individual property owners in converting existing rental units to ownership housing. Many communities have responded to the concerns with regard to these conversions --typically rental housing and tenant protection issues --through the adoption of condominium conversion regulations. The City of Atascadero did this in 2000, with the adoption of Chapter 11-12 of the City's Code. Chapter 11-12 regulates the process for the conversion of apartment to condominium including the application process, tenant provisions, hearing requirements, and property improvement standards. The Chapter does not address controlling the rate of conversions and the preservation of affordable housing stock in the City. In 2002, the City Council adopted a General Plan for the City, and the Housing Element provides: "Goal HOS 3: Ensure that an adequate amount of rental housing exists." "Policy 3.1: Ensure that the proportion of low and moderate housing isnot significantly reduced." Recently the City retained the firm of Goldfarb Lipman LLP to review the condominium ordinance. In particular, staff and Goldfarb Lipman LLP is to study and give options to the Council on reducing the rate of condominium conversions, including requirements for retention existing affordable housing units and any additional protections for tenants. The review will also evaluate the development standards and whether CC&Rs should be required on future condominium conversions. The purpose of the review is to ensure, as required by the City's General Plan, that the proportion of low and moderate housing in the City is not significantly reduced. The City Council may, pending a study of a contemplated zoning proposal, adopt a temporary interim ordinance, as an emergency measure. Interim ordinances enacting moratoria and other growth management measures are lawful exercises of the police power and do not amount to a temporary taking under First English Evangelical Church v. County of Los Angeles (1987) 482 U.S. 304, 320 so long as they do not "go too far." In California an interim moratorium ordinance must be adopted pursuant to Government Code section 65858, which prohibits approval of new development plans so that a City can re-evaluate its land use policies. The ordinance is lawful provided the period of delay is reasonable and there are valid governmental reasons justifying its adoption. (Tahoe -Sierra Preservation Council v. Tahoe Regi Planning Agency (2002) 535 U.S. 302, 353; First English Evangelical Church v. County of Los Angeles, supra at 320.) The moratorium may be extended for a period of 10 months and 15 days, and then if necessary for an additional one-year. The absolute maximum time is 2 years. Each extension requires notice and a hearing by the Council. The ordinance must contain 79 t • • El 10 10 ITEM NUMBER: B-2 DATE: 05/09/06 legislative findings that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, or other applicable uses which is required in order to comply with a zoning ordinance would result in a threat to public health, safety, or welfare. Ten days prior to the expiration of the interim ordinance or any extension, the City Council must issue a written report describing the measures that have been taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT: None. ALTERNATIVES: • Adopt the attached Ordinance; • Modify and adopt the attached Ordinance; • Do not extend the moratorium and therefore, do not adopt the attached Ordinance; • Provide direction to Staff. ATTACHMENT: Interim Urgency Ordinance i ITEM NUMBER: B-2 DATE: 05/09/06 Attachment 1 Urgency Ordinance DRAFT ORDINANCE AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO ADOPTING A MORATORIUM ON CONDOMINIUM CONVERSIONS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF The City Council of the City of Atascadero DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Findings A. The City's Housing Element to its General Plan provides as one of its goals that there is an adequate amount of rental housing in the City. Policy 3.1 of the Housing Element requires that the Council "ensure that the proportion of low and moderate housing is not significantly reduced." B. In the last 18 months, the City has seen a significant increase in the number of multifamily projects requesting a condominium conversion. C. The City has received applications for the conversion of 60 rentals to condominiums; and inquiries have been made about the conversion of an additional 200 rental units. D. If all of these rental units were converted to condominiums, it would represent the loss of over 12 percent of the 2,100 rental units in the City. E. The City Council has retained Goldfarb Lipman LLP to review and study the City's condominium conversion ordinance regarding the preservation, acquisition of the City's multifamily rental units, and to examine the need for inclusionary housing and/or fees for the loss of low and moderate income housing. F. On March 28, 2006, the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance declaring a temporary condominium conversion moratorium on review and/or approval of condominium conversions for buildings, finding it was necessary in order to permit the City the time to conduct research and consider appropriate regulations, amendments and/or clarifications to protect the public health, safety, welfare and economic prosperity of the City. - G. The temporary condominium conversion moratorium was for 45 -days, and the Council has not had the opportunity to consider or enact any appropriate regulations, amendments and/or clarifications to the City's Condominium Conversion Ordinance. H. Due to the foregoing, the City intends to continue to study the extent to which the conversion of rental units to condominiums are affecting the affordability of rental units and the impacts of increasing rental prices on very low- and moderate -income residents in the City. In the meantime, if a temporary moratorium on condominium conversions is not extended for up to 10 months and 15 days, substantial rent increases are likely to occur. Such 81 r� L • • ITEM NUMBER: B-2 DATE: 05/09/06 increases would defeat the intent and purpose of the City's General Plan policy of protecting the proportion of low and moderate housing in the City. I. A final report from Goldfarb Lipman, LLP has not been received; however, the consultant and the City Council have preliminarily concluded that the conversion of a significant number of multifamily units to condominiums in the City will produce economic inequities which may be exacerbated by a lack of rental units. Section 2. Imposition of Moratorium The City Council hereby declares that a temporary condominium conversion moratorium on the review and/or approval of the condominium conversions for buildings is necessary in order to permit the City the time to conduct research and consider appropriate regulations, amendments and/or clarifications to protect the public health, safety, welfare and economic prosperity of the City. Section 3. While this Ordinance remains in effect, no permit, other applicable entitlement, which entails in whole or in part the conversion of any existing rental housing or on residential structures to residential condominiums or community apartment projects within the City shall be issued, except as specified in Section 13 below. Section 4. While this Ordinance remains in effect, no person, firm, partnership, association, corporation, company or organization of any kind shall convert, in whole or in part, or attempt to convert, in whole or in part, any existing rental housing to residential condominium within the City, except as specified in Section 13 below. Section 5. Pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code section 65858, this Ordinance is adopted as an urgency interim zoning ordinance and shall take effect immediately. The facts demonstrating the urgency that forms the basis for this ordinance are as follows: A. According to the City's General Plan adopted in 2002, in 2001 there were approximately 9,663 total housing units in the City. Of this total, there were approximately, 3,062 units in multi -family structures (31.7% of all City housing) and 3,282 renters. According to the 2000 Census data, there were approximately 9,531 households, 3,282 or 34% of which were renters; B. The City has most recently experienced an unprecedented increase in applications seeking to convert existing rental housing to residential condominiums; C. The approval or adoption of additional such condominium conversions within the City of Atascadero would result in a threat to public health, safety and welfare in that they could alter, in a radical and fundamental manner, the current way of life for the City's residents. By their unique characteristics and requirements, conversion projects tend to magnify the effects associated with higher urban densities to the point where public health, safety, welfare, and economic prosperity of the City are significantly affected. Such projects may conflict with the City's policy, set forth in the General Plan, to provide a reasonable balance of 82 ITEM NUMBER: DATE: B-2 05/09/06 rental and ownership housing within the City, to provide a variety of individual choices of tenure, type, price and location of housing andtomaintain the supply of rental housing for low and moderate income persons and families. It is thus necessary to establish a temporary moratorium to allow for: (1) research and study to determine how to address this use, the type of regulation that may be imposed on this use, and the potential impact this use may have on the City's neighborhoods; and (2) the preparation and presentation of any proposed ordinance, amendments or regulations to address this use. D. It is necessary that this Ordinance go into effect immediately in order to maintain the City's environment pending the outcome of the above -referenced research, study, and analysis, which may dictate the need to further regulate such condominium conversions and which, in turn, will help the City Council better understand the detrimental effects, if any, should such condominium conversions be allowed to proceed at a pace which, based on past experience, conversions will continue to occur but for the adoption of this interim ordinance; E. It is necessary that this interim Ordinance remain in effect until the afore referenced research, study and analysis have been completed and the recommendations of Planning Department staff and the Planning Commission can be received and considered by the City Council and the City Council, in turn, can consider amendment of the City's Condominium Conversions Ordinance or otherwise regulate future conversions. Section b. The City Council therefore finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, welfare, and that the approval of additional condominium conversions through the issuance of permits authorizing such activities would result in a threat to, or breach of, that public health and welfare. Section 7. The City Council hereby finds that adoption of this Ordinance will not have the effect of denying approvals needed for the development of projects with a significant component of multifamily housing. Section 8. Pursuant to Government Code Section 36937(b), this interim urgency Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its passage and adoption. Section 9. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, this Ordinance shall expire on a date 10 months and 15 days following the date of its passage and adoption, unless its term is extended by action of the City Council in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 65858, or at such earlier time as the City Council acts to repeal this Ordinance and replace it with a successor Ordinance. Section 10. At least ten days prior to the expiration period provided for in Section 9, the City Council shall issue a written report describing any measures taken to alleviate those conditions herein referenced which lead to the adoption of this Ordinance. 83 0 � I * I * C-1 ITEM NUMBER: B-2 DATE: 05/09/06 Section 11. This Ordinance or a comprehensive summary thereof shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Atascadero within 15 days after its adoption. Section 12. The adoption of this interim ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to sections 15061(b)(3), 15262 and 15306 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that such adoption may have significant effect on the environment; such adoption involves only feasibility and planning studies for possible future adoption of an ordinance that has not yet been prepared or adopted. In addition, the adoption of this interim ordinance is partially exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines in that it primarily pertains to the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. Section 13. This Ordinance shall apply to all applications filed on or after March 1, 2006. Section 14. This Ordinance shall be liberally construed to accomplish its intended purposes. Nothing contained in this Ordinance is intended to limit the continuation of lawful nonconforming uses or structures. Section 15. Severability.

Staff has attempted to A , i this item, but due to the complexity of the issue, it is apparent that the Council will need ample time to explore all the issues and options and to hear members of the public wishi ng to speak on this topic. In addition, the City's consultant will be speaking at housing conferences in the Sacramento area and is unavailable until after May 24, 2006. At this time, staff has tentatively scheduled this item for the City Council meeti ng of June 13th, 2006. At that time, it is anticipated the Council will provide staff with direction to prepare a draft ordinance and complete the environmental review necessary for implementation of the ordinance. 0 t ITEM NUMBER: B - 3 DATE: 05/09/06 Atascadero City Council Staff Report - Fire Department Weed/Refuse Abatement Program RECOMMENDATION: Council adopt the Draft Resolution, declaring vegetative growth and/or or refuse a public nuisance, commencing proceedings for the abatement of said nuisances, and placing all abatement fees on the San Luis Obispo County Special Tax Assessment for the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Tax Roll.

DISCUSSION: Background: The City of Atascadero established a Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area in 1986 (Chapter 11 of the Atascadero Municipal Code) for the purpose of acquisition, construction .or maintenance of parking facilities, decoration of public places, promotion of public events, and general promotion of business activities in the downtown area. The formation and operation of a Business Improvement Area is governed by the California Streets & Highways Code (Section 36500 et. Seq.) Historically, the budget for the Business Improvement Area is submitted in conjunction with the City's annual budget. In each of the last five fiscal years from 2001, through 2006, the Council confirmed the annual assessment for the Downtown Parking & Business Improvement Area, and contracted with Atascadero Main Street, Inc., to administer the Downtown Parking & Business Improvement Area funds for downtown improvement activities and events. Atascadero Main Street received $9,500 fiscal year 2001-2002, $10,500 fiscal year 2002-2003, $10,500 fiscal year 2003-2004, $10,500 fiscal year 2004-2005, and $10,500 for 2005-2006. Analysis: The Streets & Highways Code requires that the "advisory board" provide a report to the City Council annually for the expenditure of funds derived from the assessment paid by businesses in the downtown area. The Atascadero Main Street Board of Directors functions as the "advisory board". The report identifies the proposed v� improvements and activities for the area, based upon the National Main Street Program's four -point approach. The report does not propose any changes to the area or of the assessment. The Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area assessments collected by the City are estimated at approximately $10,500 annually. . 96 ITEM NUMBER: B-4 DATE: 05/09/06 The recommended action would confirm the assessment and collection of these funds for downtown revitalization activities for 2006-2007. City Code Section 3-11.09 permits the City to enter into an agreement with an agency to expend District revenues consistent with City regulations. The City of Atascadero contracts with Atascadero Main Street, Inc., to expend the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area finds received by the City. The Atascadero Main Street Board of Directors are proposing expenditures for 2006-07 with the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area funds as follows: BIA Funds requested for 2006-2007 $10,500 Carry over from 2005-2006 $ 0 Total Proposed Funding Available $10,500 2006-2007 Proposed Expenditures: Signage & Banners $ 1,500 Membership Directory $ 1,500 Streetscape Maint./Improvement $ 1,500 Parking/Lighting/Art Coordination $ 1,000 Winter Wonderland Street Fair $ 4,000 Sweetheart Stroll (Valent'ine's Day) 1,000 Total Proposed Expenditures for 2006-07 $10,500 Fund Residual $ 0 The City Council adopted a draft Resolution of Intention on April 25, 2006, and seta public hearing for May 9, 2006 to receive public comment. Following the public hearing, the Council can adopt a Resolution confirming the report as originally filed or as changed by the Council. Adoption of the resolution constitutes the levying of assessment. FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue of approximately $10,500 for Fiscal Year 2006-2007. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council may not confirm the resolution to levy the assessment, thereby eliminating the revenue and funding of Main Street. 2. The City Council may grant Atascadero Main Street, Inc., the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area assessment funds in an amount lower than recommended. 3. The City Council may redirect the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area assessment funds and cancel the contract with Atascadero Main Street, Inc. Alternatives 1, 2 and 3 are not recommended because planned downtown revitalization efforts would be reduced or eliminated.

City Clerk , and seconded the foregoing Resolution is CITY OF ATASCADERO Tom O'Malley, Mayor APPROVED AS TO FORM: By: Patrick L. Enright, City Attorney ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 05/09/06 R Isla 1 e r �t Atascade o City Council Staff Report - Community Development Department Signage Task Force Report RECOMMENDATIONS: Council: 1. Direct staff to update the City Sign Ordinance to incorporate the Signage Task Force's recommended changes; and, 2. Direct staff to work with the Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Association on a signage clean-up information campaign while the ordinance update is in process. DISCUSSION: Background: Staff presented a signage clean-up report to the City Council on February 28, 2005. In the report, staff outlined some of the common sign ordinance violations that occur with banner and A-frame signs. Following public testimony and deliberations, the Council requested a task force comprised of members of the Chamber of Commerce, Main Street Association and staff be assembled. The purpose of the Signage Task Force was to review the existing sign ordinance requirements for banners and A-frame signs and report back to the Council with recommendations on how to update these sections of the sign ordinance. The Signage Task Force has met three times and has concluded its review. The Task Force's recommendations to the Council are contained in the attached letter. The recommendations are based on interviews with local merchants and a review of the City of San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles sign ordinances. Banner Sign Recommendations • Time Frame: allow banners up for 30 days then down for 60 days • Quantity: allow one (1) banner per public street frontage 100 • Mounting: banners must be secured flat against a building or secure structure. • Exceptions: Banners may remain up during the entire sign permit and installation process. • Public Info: Provide business owners notification if banners can be converted into permanent signs especially along freeways. A -Frame Sign Recommendations • Quantity: allow one (1) A -frame sign per street frontage • Size: maximum size shall be two (2) feet wide by four (4) feet tall • Location: A -frame signs must be located on business's property. • Exceptions: encroachment permits are required for A -Frame signs located in the public right-of-way. (The City should allow a 90 -day amnesty period with no fee for encroachment permits of existing A -frame signs.) Analysis: Staff attended all of the Signage Task Force meetings and participated in the discussion regarding the sign ordinance changes. In staff's opinion, the changes to the banner ordinance are minor, logical and will improve -the sign ordinance. The changes to the A -frame regulations are a significant change from the existing regulations. Underthecurrent ordinance, A -frame signs are not permitted. The current prohibition of A -frame signs has not been enforceable for a variety of reasons in the past.The Task Force's A -frame recommendations are very similar to the City of San Luis Obispo's regulations for A -frame signs. In staff's opinion the Task Force's recommendation appears to be a reasonable compromise that would allow A -frame signs but provide controls about where and how they are placed in the public sidewalk. If the Council directs staff to update the sign ordinance, it would likely take 90 to 120 days before the new regulations would become effective. Staff would recommend during this time, a public information campaign to encourage voluntary signage clean- up. The campaign should be a joint effort among the City, Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Association.

RECOMMENDATION: Council give staff direction on how to proceed on this request. DISCUSSION: In 2005 the legislature amended Gambling Control Act to authorize a City or County to amend its Ordinance, without voter approval, to increase the number of tables allowed in a gambling establishment up to 24.99%, or two tables, whichever is greater, when compared to the number operated on January 1, 1996. (Business &- Professions Code section 19961.05) Also, the City may amend the Ordinance without the approval of the electors to: • increase by 24.99% or less the number of gambling tables in the City; • increase by 24.99% or less the number of licensed cardrooms; • increase by 24.99% or less in the number of gambling tables that may be operated in a gambling establishment in the City; • authorize additional forms of gambling, other than card games, that may be legally played in the state • increase by 24.99% or less in the hours of operation; • increase by 24.99% or less the maximum amount permitted to be wagered in a game. Presently, the City has one cardroom operator, Outlaws Card Parlour, who operates two card tables in the establishment. Mr. Brown, the owner of Outlaws Card Parlour, has recently inquired to the Community Development Department about increasing the number of tables in his establishment to five (5) tables, as a result of the passage of the 2005 legislation. 104 ITEM NUMBER: C-2 DATE: 05/09/06 Background: The City adopted a cardroom ordinance in 1992, which was amended in 1999. This ordinance authorizes a maximum of five (5) card tables to be licensed and operate within the City, and limitsthe. number at any one establishment to two (2) card tables. The City Council may amend the Municipal Code to authorize up to four (4) card tables in a single establishment, without putting the matter on a ballot of the voters. Prior to adopting any amendment to the Code relating to gambling establishments, the City must submit the proposed ordinance to the Division of Gambling Control for review and comment. if the City desires to increase the number of tables to more than four, an ordinance would have to be submitted to the voters for approval. However, the Gambling Control Act places a moratorium on the authorization of legal gambling and any expansion of gambling until 2010. The legislature, in enacting the Gambling Control Act, indicated its intent to have state and local agencies provide uniform, minimum standards of permissible gambling activities and the operation of lawful gambling establishments. As long as it is not inconsistent with the Act, any city or county has the authority to prohibit any gambling activity, impose more stringent local controls or conditions upon gambling than are imposed by the Act or by the commission. The City may also inspect gambling premises to enforce applicable state and local laws, impose a local tax or license fee, and enact, amend, or enforce any local ordinance relating to license gambling establishments. Under the Gambling Control Act, no new gambling establishment may be opened in a city or county in which . a gambling establishment was not operating on or before January 1, 1984, except upon the affirmative vote of the electors of that city or county. Therefore, the City may amend the , Municipal Code to increase the number of card tables at any establishment to four, but not to five as requested. In addition, in any amendment to the cardroom ordinance, the City should review the other provisions in the ordinance, including hours of operation, games played, and any fees or taxes imposed. FISCAL IMPACT: If the City Council amended the Municipal Code to allow additional card tables, the City would receive a one time revenue of $300 per additional table. ITEM NUMBER: C-3 DATE: 05/09/06 All iais o is e Atascadero City Council Staff Report - Public Works Department Hwy 101/41 Interchange Value Analysis Study RECOMMENDATION: Council receive a verbal report from Caltrans on the results of the Hwy 101/41 Interchange Value Analysis Study and recommend they proceed to further explore two options and report back on May 23rd. DISCUSSION: Background: The Highway 101/41 Interchange is a significant regional hub for travel from the central valley to the coast, and from Northern California to Southern California. Also, this interchange serves local residents commuting within Atascadero. The 101/41 Interchange is operating at a poor level of service during peak hours, and traffic is backing up on local roads and the Hwy 101 ramps. This is caused by theincreasein the volume of traffic using the interchange. The City prepared a Project Study Report (PSR) in 1994 to investigate changes to the interchange that would provide a better level of service. Modification to the Interchange was funded in the 1998 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and Caltrans began environmental review and design. The estimated construction cost was $4.8 million and right-of-way was $1.1 million. Caltrans studied the traffic volumes using the interchange in 2000 and found them much higher than expected. This caused Caltrans to redesign the project by adding another lane under Hwy 101 The construction cost then escalated to $11.1 million. An additional $7.0 million was added to the project in 2002 to cover this increase. The project stalled between 2002 and 2004 due to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) not allocating funding to proceed with the right-of-way. From 2004 to the present construction prices have exploded. Concrete and steel prices are at an all time high. $3.68 million were added to the project in February 2006 to make the project fully funded. In late March 2006 Caltrans completed another construction cost estimate on the project and found that the current projected costs are as follows: 106 ITEM NUMBER: C-3 DATE: 05/09/06 Planning and environmental support: $1.75 million Design $3.10 million Right-of-way support $1.35 million Construction support $1.65 million Right-of-way capital $4.01 million Construction cost $20.5 million Total $32.36 million This means an additional $11.14 million dollars is needed to make the construction and right-of-way fully funded and $3.26 million is needed to fully fund support costs. At their April meeting the San Luis Council of Governments (SLOCOG) Board approved the following: 1) Add $6.0 million to the construction and right-of-way fund. 2) Put off funding $3.26 million in support costs to the 2008 STIP. 3) Perform a Value Analysis (VA) study on the project to look for costs saving. 4) Continue the right-of-way acquisition for the project. 5) Get the project out to bid as soon as possible. This leaves $5.14 million in construction and right-of-way costs unfunded. To address the short fall SLOCOG Board recommended a Value Analysis (VA) study be performed. A "VA" study is a short high intensity study that uses a specialized focused team to break the project apart to look for cost saving while still keeping the intent of the project intact. Summary: The VA study team met from April 20 to April 25, 2006 and came up with two options that could save the unfunded construction and right-of-way costs. They are: 1) Constructing three bridges instead of one bridge over SR 41, using asphalt instead of concrete on Hwy 101, removing color from the concrete structure and closing the northbound Hwy 101 onramp during construction. 2) Do not replace the Hwy 101 Bridge and construct round -a -bouts where SR 41 intersects the south bound ramps and El Camino Real. They also recommended the closure of the north bound Hwy 101 onramp during construction. Caltrans would like to further analyze these two options and report back to the City Council on May 23rd. Analysis: Staff supports option # 1 with the following concerns and questions: • Will inflation of construction costs erode the saving due to the length of time for redesign? • What are the traffic impacts to Atascadero on the closure of the north bound Hwy 101 onramp during construction? Staff recommends that both these concerns be addressed by Caltrans. ALTERNATIVES: Direct Caltrans to explore one or neither of the options. 107
