the site is bordered by three side with lots at 1-1/2 acres or
less, and Planning Commission approved the project unanimously.
Mr. Richard Shoreridge, adjacent property owner , expresses con-
cerns regarding the drainage area fronting the property providing
a unique animal/fauna habitat which should not be impacted by
this project.

Paul Sensibaugh clarifies that the drainage area can be con-
ditioned to be protected through the specific plan process.

TEXT RELATIVE TO ALLOWED USES IN THE PUBLIC ZONE

additional discussions with staff as to the effects this land use
redesignation may have on the Armory.
The Armory site is included in the redesignation area, even
though it is presently owned by the County and is exempt from
City regulations, as it is felt that the use of the site should

change .

B-4 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2F-87 - CITY-WIDE - INITIATED BY THE
CITY OF ATASCADERO
RESOLUTION 83-87 - AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE
ELEMENT PERTAINING TO CHAPTER V, LAND USE POLICY #8
REGARDING LOT SIZE DETERMINATIONS
Henry Engen, Community Development Director reviews proposed
changes to Land Use Policy #8, which would change the City' s land
calculation formula from "gross" acreage to "net" acreage, and
not allow road right-of-way area to be used in the calculation.
He further states that Council can act on this item or refer it
to be included in the General Plan update to be addressed.
John Falkenstein, Cuesta Engineering, Don Blazey, Atascadero
Board of Realtors, Sharon Morin, Realtor, Allen Volbrecht,
Surveyor, Don Messer, Contractor , and Judy Bishop, Realtor ,
express concerns regarding the impacts this proposal would have
on property owners. Impacts include reduced ownership of
animals, loss of property value to some properties, and ad-
ditional requirements to individual property owners who are
amending their parcels to purchase individual surveys of property
net acreage owned versus utilizing County Recorders Office legal
recordings of land, which is documented in gross acreagage.

i
After discussion on the item Council concludes that, although
this proposal would standardize the City' s formula for calcu-
lation of parcel sizes for all parcels within the City, it is
premature prior to the General Plan being updated.
MOTION:
Councilmember Borgeson moves to refer General Plan Amendment
2F-87 Proposal to be reviewed in the Atascadero General Plan
Update program; Councilmember Mackey seconds; Motion carries
unanimously

Henry Engen, Community Development Director , states that this
item was removed from City Council' s Consent Calendar on April
28 , 1987 , due to public opposition and concerns with drainage
impacts. The applicant was directed by Council to propose a
two-way lot split alternative.
John Falkenstein, applicant representative, states that Mr.
Fisher has complied with Council direction to provide a two-way
lot split alternative, but desires Council to address the
original three-way proposal, which he originally requested,
first. Mr . Falkenstein further clarifies that all concerns
expressed regarding this proposal have been mitigated according
to the requirements set forth by the City, and that City staff
and Planning Commission have recommended approval.
Mr. Dennis Lockridge, adjacent property owner , expresses his
disfavor regarding size of access, location of fire hydrant, and
proposed road maintenance agreement.
Mr . Dean Crawford, adjacent property owner , is opposed to the
three-way lot split creating a "flag lot" and additional traffic
impacts due to future lot split possibilities in the area.
Don Ross, Architect and Paul Washburn, Contractor , express con-
cerns with the possibility of the City Council overriding the
Atascadero General Plan. . .which the three-way lot split does con-
form with. . .without providing valid reasons. They also clarify
that the applicant has met all conditions of approval required by
staff.
Henry Engen clarifies the City requirement of private driveways
being 16 feet wide if accessing four or less parcels and 20 feet
wide for access to five or more parcels.
Councilmember Borgeson expresses concerns with the proposed
6
"hammerhead" drivewayturnaround and the inability to enforce
Y
open space portion of the hammerhead to remain open and
accessible to emergency vehicles.
Councilmembers Borgeson and Mackey clarify the public' s right to
remove an item from the City Council Consent Calendar .
Councilmember Mackey expresses her disfavor with the three-way
lot split increasing densities in the area and the extreme length
of the driveway proposed.

MOTION:
Councilmember Borgeson moves to approve a two-way lot split
alternative to Tentative Parcel Map 5-87; Councilmember
Mackey seconds; motion carries 3-1 (Councilmember Handshy

Mr. Washburn asks if Council' s concerns regarding long driveways
and hammerhead turnarounds can be interpreted as a presidenting
decision not to allow these in the future.
Mayor Norris requests Council to allow her to withdraw her yes
vote on the two-way lot split alternative.

previous council motion on two-way lot split alternative to

Re: 1987-88 Animal Control Services Agreement
Dear Mr. Shelton:
Enclosed for your review is a revised copy of the 1987-88 Animal Control
Services Agreement between the County of San Luis Obispo and your city.
Please note Section 12(g) Allocation of Operating Costs. The charges for .
court/proceedings have been revised from $40.00 per man hour to $25.00 per man
hour based upon the estimated 1987-88 hourly productive rate for an Animal
Control Lead Officer. The calculation includes both departmental and
countywide overhead which I believe is an accurate reflection of the actual
costs associated with court proceedings.
For those cities that have already approved and signed the original agreement,
I apologize for the duplication of effort. The revised rate will, however,
provide a potential for cost savings.
The revised contract should be signed by the Mayor, certified by the City
Clerk and returned at your earliest convenience. When signed agreements have
been returned from all participating cities in the county, I will place the
matter on the Board of Supervisors Agenda for concurrence.
Sincerely,
WILLIAM E. BRIAM

SUBJECT: Part-time Recreation Clerical Aid (20 hours per week)
INTRODUCTION
The Recreation Division of the Parks and Recreation Department
has a contract employee position of thirty-five ( 35) hours per
week for the purpose of recreation programs and activities .
This position has been classified as Recreation Specialist .
Currently , the Recreation Division is contracting this position
for fifteen ( 15) hours per week, and believes that the remain-
ing twenty ( 20) hours per week would be better used in providing
clerical support and back-up for illness , vacation and holiday
schedules.
• RECOMMENDATION
To authorize the Recreation Division to contract the twenty (20)
hours per week for a Recreation Clerical Aid to assist in the
day-to-day operation of the Recreation office . By managing the
thirty-five ( 35) hours per week authorized in the Recreation Di-
vision budget , staff feels that it can be more effective in the
utilization of needed personnel and more efficient in conducting
recreation business.
FISCAL IMPACT
During FY 1987-88 , a Recreation Specialist position was funded
for thirty-five ( 35) hours per week. Fifteen ( 15) hours per week
are currently being used to contract a Recreation Specialist po-
sition. The remaining twenty (20) hours per week would be used
to contract the Recreation Clerical Aid. There would be no ad-
ditional cost to the City for authorizing this part-time, contract
position for the Recreation Division .

REQUEST: To revise the Community Appearance and Standards Element
by eliminating reference to a formal architectural review
process and by deleting Appendix D "Draft Ordinance - De-
sign Review Commission"
BACKGROUND:
At their August 4 , 1987 meeting, the Planning Commission conducted a
public hearing on the above-referenced subject unanimously recommend-
ing approval of the amendment as outlined in the attached staff re-
port. The Amendment brings the General Plan into harmony with the
City' s Appearance Review process.
There was no public testimony given and only brief discussion by the
Commission on the matter.

recommendation and approval of Resolution No. 88-87.

STAFF REPORT
FOR: Planning Commission Meeting Date: Aug. 4, 1987
BY: ��Nteven L. Decamp, Senior Planner File No. 2G-87
Project Address: City Wide
SUBJECT:
City initiated amendment to the General Plan to revise the Community
Appearance and Standards Element by eliminating reference to a
formal architectural review process and by deleting Appendix D
"Draft Ordinance - Design Review Commission" .
A. ANALYSIS:
When the current General Plan was adopted in 1980, it was envisioned
that a Design Review Committee or Commission would be established
with the power to review and approve development projects. As a
result, specific goals and responsibilities for this Design Reviw
Committee were included in the Community Appearance and Standards
Element as well as Appendix D of the Plan. The Community Appearance
and Standards Element and Appendix D are attached to this report as
Exhibits A and B for your information.
After considerable review and discussion of the General Plan and
various other alternatives for architectural or design review, a
committee appointed by the City Council recommended adoption and
implementation of an Appearance Review Manual. This manual was the
subject ofublic hearings b
P g y both the Planning Commission and the
City Council prior to its adoption by Resolution #35-87 on April
14, 1987. The guidelines for appearance review contained in the
manual are now being utilized by staff during the project review
process.
The procedures that were adopted by the City Council vary somewhat
from those originally envisioned by the General Plan. Primary among
these changes is the elimination of the Design Review Commission,
and assignment of the review responsibility to the Planning Division
staff. Also modified were the techniques used and the types of
projects subjected to the appearance review process. Because of
these and other minor changes, the Community Appearance and
Standards Element should be amended to reflect the Council ' s intent
•
in adopting Resolution #35-87. In addition, Appendix D should be
deleted because it is no longer relevant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Community Appearance and Standards Element
of the General Plan be amended as shown in the attached Resolution.
Staff further recommends that Appendix D of the General Plan be
deleted in its entirety.

%III. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE AND STANDARDS
Philosophy
Edward Gardner Lewis repeatedly spoke and wrote of his
dream that Atascadero would become "the most beautiful and
desirable rural community in the world" and "the most
desirable place to live in the nation. " He envisioned a
Civic Center of majestic buildings, surrounded by well laid
out and attractive homes and orchards, and an Industrial
City separated from the residential and civic areas by
parklike boulevards. To this end, he platted the entire
Colony and imposed restrictions which would assure not only
that the City would be beautifully built, but also that it
would remain that way, with no unsightly shacks, neglected
yards or orchards, unkempt homes, billboards, etc. "It is
no place, " he said, "for a man who wants to keep his pig in
the parlour or dump his refuse in his front yard. "
Mr . Lewis laid out roads that radiated from the Civic
Center hub and others that crossed them in concentric
circles out to the farthest reaches of the Colony. They
were winding, avoiding trees rather than replacing them, so
the whole area had a natural and rural character. Houses
blended with the hills . The hills and the agricultural
land provided open space. These are among the qualities
which attracted residents to Atascadero in 1914 and which
still attract them in ever-increasing numbers . This was
emphasized in the Policy Statement adopted at public
hearings in 1973. The residents have chosen Atascadero as
a home because of its unique character, and it is, there-
fore, fair to assume that they are willing to do whatever
is necessary to preserve that character.
Goals
The following goals and principles shall govern the develop-
ment of Atascadero, as outlined. in the Policy Statement of
1973:
1 . The contours of the hills shall be preserved . Resi-
dences built on hillsides shall conform to the
topography, using the slope of the land as the basis
for the design of the structure . Any land use or
activity which would result in major alteration of the
land shall require a grading permit . Theermit
should require restoration of the land p( e . g . ,
replanting of vegetation) .
157
0 •
2. Permits for both residential and commercial development
shall take into consideration the trees existing on
the property. Buildings shall be designed to utilize
existing trees in the landscaping pattern. Any trees
removed shall be replaced.
3• The architectural style of residential and commercial
buildings shall harmonize with the environment . if'
fencing is used, it shall be consistent in style with
the building.
4. Multi—use trails shall be encouraged to provide
facilities for walking and riding throughout the
community.
5• The winding street pattern shall be retained.
6. All overhead utility wires shall be replaced with
underground service.
7• Freeway and other vehicular approaches to Atascadero
shall be made more attractive through judicious
application of the elements of landscaping and site
development (i .e. , setbacks , building location, signs,

approaches to the community shall be undertaken. Tree
lists and locations are given in the APPENDIX.
Central Business District
In general, people shop where access is easy, where parking
is adequate , and where the environment is pleasant and
attractive . In order to improve the Central Business
District and make it more attractive, the following steps
shall be taken:
1 . Street Trees : An appropriate program of planting
trees in sidewalk niches along the streets , where
needed to complement the existing trees , shall be
implemented. (See APPENDIX C. )
2 . Center Dividers:
a. A center divider strip shall be installed on E1
Camino Real , through the Central Business
District, and shall be appropriately planted and
maintained.
b. A landscaped triangular divider on Rosario
Avenue, at its intersection with E1 Camino Real
and separating its east and westbound lanes ,
shall be. constructed, planted and maintained .
3• Street Furniture:
a. The use of other plantings , where space is
available , shall be encouraged . This can be
accomplished by formation of an improvement
district.
b. Additional trash receptacles , functional and
attractive , shall be installed in the downtown
area, at least one per block, and in the Sunken
Gardens. Emptying of trash receptacles shall be
a requirement of the garbage collection franchise.
4. Signing: Well designed and maintained signs, properly
related to the activities to which the pertain,y p are a
necessary Y Part of the community. Proper
use of color,
materials, and lighting, compatible with the surround-
ing area
in is important.
P
a. Signing shall be in harmony with community
standards , as applied to each development .

b . Standards for maximum allowable height, length,
width, and area shall be adopted, related in each
instance to bulding size, site development, etc.
C. Signing shall not project into the street or
sidewalk nor above the building.
d. Lighting of signing shall be constant and be
directed or shielded so as not to interfere with
pedestrian or vehicular movement.
e. Provisions of the signing ordinance shall be
vigorously enforced.
f. Off-site commercial signing shall not be permit-

5 • Litter Control: A strong program of street maintenance
and trash removal shall be instituted in the downtown
area.
6. Street Lighting: Two types of street lighting systems
are needed:
a. Lighting for vehicular traffic shall be bright,
on tall ( 15-18 foot ) standards , shall overhang
the motorway, and be directed downward over it.
b. Lighting for pedestrian traffic shall be of lower
intensity, on lower standards (8-10 foot) , shall C
be spaced at closer intervals and directed
downward to the pedestrian walkway.
Tree-Lined Arterials and Streets
Most of Atascadero ' s winding streets have ample trees and
shrubs. Some of the major approaches to the community and
some of the streets with heavier use, close to the Central
Business District , would be made more attractive by the
planting of trees . A program of tree planting in these
areas shall be initiated, with first priority being given
to landscaping the Central Business District . Other
plantings shall be done in the following priorities.
1 . E1 Camino Real from Morro Road to Curbaril.

i APPENDIX D
DRAFT ORDINANCES
Design Review Commission
The Design Review Commission shall approve plans for
structures and other physical improvements if it finds that
these projects meet the criteria below. It is not intended
to control architectural character so rigidly that individ-
ual initiative is stifled in the design of any particular
building, or substantial additional expense is required;
rather, it is the intent of this Section that any control
exercised be that necessary to achieve the overall objec-
tives of the Plan. Good architectural design includes the
suitability of a building. for its purposes, the appropriate
use of sound materials and the principles of harmony and
proportion in the elements of the building. The relation-
ship of a building to its surroundings is of equal impor-
tance to the quality of design of the individual structure.
In setting forth the criteria below, it is not intended that
any single style of architecture predominate or be unaccept-
able . The Design Review Commission shall designate by
resolution a number of structures and sites in the community
as "Design Reference Buildings, " which will accomplish the
objectives set forth in the General Plan and which exemplify
the criteria outlined.
Criteria for Considering Plans
Building Design
Functional Relationships . The project shall be
suitable for its purpose and functions , with all
activities in proper relationship to each other.
Effect on Community. The project shall contribute to
the character and image of the community as a place of
beauty and spaciousness . Stock building plans ,
particularly those used by chain or franchise stores,
may not be acceptable to the Design Review Commission.
Because they represent a national image does not
necessarily mean that they are acceptable to Atasca-
dero . The merit of a design shall be judged on its
suitability for a particular site. The design may not
be acceptable just because it is the only design the
,,` applicant has or uses.
187
Effect on Neighboring Properties. The project shall
not pair, direct y or in a cumulative manner , the
orderly and attractive development, use or enjoyment
of other prop-erties in its vicinity, including public
lands and rights of way. The project shall be oriented
to minimize the impact on adjoining and neighboring
lots and streets from the aspect of privacy, visual
obstruction, noise and traffic congestion.
Environmental Harmony . The project shall not be
unsightly , present a congested appearance or create
substantial disharmony with its locale and surround-
ings. The exterior design, appearance and quality of
materials shall not cause the local environment to
materially depreciate in appearance and/or value.
Environmental Protection. The plan for the proposed
project shal-1--lindicat-e—TFe manner in which the proposed
development and surrounding properties are protected
against noise, vibrations and other factors which may
have an adverse effect on the environment. The manner
in which mechanical equipment , trash, storage and
loading areas are screened from any public ways shall
also be indicated.
Design Variation . Monotony of design in single or
muitiple building projects shall be avoided . Variation
of detail, form, and siting shall be used to provide
visual interest.
Proportion. The structures shall be in good propor-
tion, ave simplicity in mass and detail and should
not appear congested.
Structural Harmony . Structures and other elements
shall be designed in harmony with each other. When a
new structure is proposed for erection in front of, on
the same site with, or as an addition to an existing
building, either the existing structure shall be
remodeled to be in harmony with the design of the
proposed structure or addition or the proposed
construction shall extend or harmonize with the
prevailing style of the existing physical improvements .
Building Design. Structures at the street level shall
be sensitive to the pedestrian. Attention to design
criteria and detail in consideration of pedestrians
shall be utilized.
Colors and Textures. Exterior treatment shall not be
harsh or garish, and broad plain surfaces shall be
avoided through the use of thoughtful detailing .
188 _
Colors and textures shall be in harmony with each
other, existing developments in area and the environ-
ment.
Materials and Finishes. Exterior materials shall be
selected for their durability and wear as well as for
beauty. Proper measures and devices shall be incorpo-
rated for protection against the elements, neglect,
damage and abuse.
Mechanical Equipment . Equipment shall be designed
in o e buildings ; roof-mounted equipment and vents
should be completely screened from view by walls or
materials which are a part of the building design.
Appurtenant structures added for screening will not be
acceptable.
Historic Structures. It is the intent of the Design
Review Commission to provide for the protection,
enhancement and perpetuation of buildings possessing
historic value by virtue of historic association,
special architectural character or antiquity.
Site Planning
Natural Topography. Where natural or existing topo-
graphic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a
development, they shall be preserved. Modification to
topography will be permitted where it contributes to
good appearance. Attention shall be given to retaining
natural grades and ground cover , and excessive cuts
and fills shall be avoided.
Site Transition. The site shall be planned to accom-
plish a desirable transition with the streetscape and
to provide for adequate planting, pedestrian movement
and parking.
Parking Areas . Parking areas shall be treated with
decorative elements, planting, berm or other innovative
means to screen parking areas from public ways and to
break up large areas of paving. Parking areas shall
be screened from street view by a decorative fence or
wall not less than 3 feet in height. Said screening
shall be set back a distance equal to the street yard
setback, and the space between such screening and the
abutting street shall be landscaped.
Li htin . Exterior lighting, when used, shall enhance
e building design and adjoining landscape. Lighting
standards and fixtures shall be of a design that is
189
0 0
compatible with the building and adjacent areas .
Lighting shall not create glare on adjoining or nearby
property.
Garbage and Refuse Collection Areas. Areas provided
for trash shall be screened rom view both from within
and without the property and located to be convenient
both to the users thereof and to those who remove the
contents therefrom. They shall be of sufficient size
to accommodate within their confines the garbage and
refuse generated within the area they are designed to
serve. Areas for trash collection must be located
away from public streets and store entrances and shall
be completely enclosed with building materials which
are compatible with those used in the exterior of the
building.
Temporary Visual Pollution Resulting from Construction.
Visual pollution shal be minimized—through re ention
of natural vegetation, rock formations and topography
until the applicant is prepared to carry the construc-
tion to completion as one continuous process. The
construction proposed shall be of a duration consistent
with the size and complexity of the development .
Material waste and trash accumulation due to construc-
tion shall be screened from view from public ways and
shall be contained to prevent littering neighboring
properties.
Sensitive Site . A potential project site may be
considered sensitive" when:
- It involves natural formations such as hillsides,
lakesides, flood plains or waterways.
- There is visual impact upon structures which are
of historic value or association, special archi-
tectural character and/or antiquity.
- The cumulative impact of successive projects of
the same type in the same area over a period of
time is significant.
- It is visible from public buildings , major
streets and similar places where the public
gathers.
Vegetation and Landscapin . Natural vegetation and
rock format-ions shall be retained where they constitute
visual enhancement of the site or the proposed use.
Generous planting shall be selected with consideration
of size , height , color, seasonal characteristics and _
190
ultimate growth . Landscaping shall be designed to
integrate with and enhance the site . Landscaping
shall be provided to soften the effect of the building
and surrounding asphalt or concrete areas. Perimeter
landscaping shall be provided on all interior property
lines where possible . The use of trees in such
landscaped areas may be required in order to provide
screening for the subject property or for adjacent
properties . Dispersed interior planting areas shall
be provided with provisions for trees . Street trees
shall be planted in accordance with the Street Tree
Standards for Atascadero. All landscaped areas shall
be provided with some form of permanent irrigation
system, including sprinklers , bubblers , hose bibbs ,
etc.
Landscaped areas shall be established on all developed
sites to promote visual aesthetic appeal and to
maintain environmental balance.
Landscaped areas shall ordinarily comprise a minimum
of 15 percent of the net site area and shall include,
but not be limited to, the following minimum require-
ments:
Planting on street frontages shall be in
scale with the total development proposal ;
such planting shall have a minimum width of
10 feet. A five foot wide strip shall be
provided on all interior property lines
where reasonable. Innovative site planning
is encouraged.
Landscaping shall consist of trees, shrubs and ground
cover . Ground cover alone shall not constitute
adequate landscaping.
Trees shall be planted in all landscaped strips in
accordance with good horticultural practice.
Planting beds shall be enclosed with protective wood,
masonry or concrete curbing where necessary.
Every effort shall be made to incorporate existing
• on-site healthy plant material into proposed landscape
plans.
Landscaped areas shall have irrigation facilities
adequate to maintain plant materials at all times .
Use of automatic watering systems is encouraged to
facilitate maintenance. Hose bibbs shall be located
t
191
within serviceable proximity to every planter where
• automatic watering systems are not in use.
Landscaping of parking areas shall ordinarily include
the following:

Quantity of each
Landscaping of the unused portion of the right of way
in residential areas should be encouraged. Necessary
technical and other assistance would be furnished by
the City.
Maintenance - Planning and Design Factors
Continued good appearance depends upon the extent and
quality of maintenance. The choice of materials and their
use, together with the types of finishing and other protec-
tive measures , should be conducive to easy maintenance.
Materials and finishes shall be selected for their durabilty
and wear as well as for their beauty. Proper measures and
devices shall be incorporated for protection against the
elements, neglect, damage and abuse.
Provision for washing and cleaning of new buildings and
structures and control of dirt and refuse shall be included

APPLICANT: City of Atascadero
REQUEST: To revise the existing Circulation Element by eliminating
Table VIII-2 "RECAPITULATION OF PROPOSED CAPITAL IM-
PROVEMENTS WITHIN THE COLONY UNDER VARIOUS FISCAL JURIS-
DICTIONS. "
BACKGROUND:
On August 4, 1987 , the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing
• on the above-referenced subject unanimously recommending approval of
the amendment request as outlined in the attached staff recommenda-
tion. The Amendment does not delete any provisions of the General
Plan but removes non-circulation projects from that element of the
General Plan.
There was no public testimony given and only brief discussion by the
Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of General Plan Amendment 2H-87 per the Planning Commission' s
recommendation and approval of Resolution No. 87-87.

STAFF REPORT
FOR: Planning Commission Meeting Date: 8/4/87
BY: Joel Moses, Associate Planner File No: GP 2H-87
Project Address: City-Wide
SUBJECT:
General Plan amendment initiated by City of Atascadero to revise the
existing General Plan Circulation Element Text by eliminating Table
VIII-2 - "RECAPITULATION OF PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE
COLONY UNDER VARIOUS FISCAL JURISDICTIONS" .
ANALYSIS:
When the proposed General Plan amendment was preliminarily reviewed,
the scope was altered to include the revision of specific General Plan
street designations. In reviewing the possible revisions, staff has
some specific conerns with revisions at this time. In examining the
data that was needed to evaluate the possible revisions, and in light
of the ongoing General Plan update, staff feels that this portion of
the amendment should be delayed until the overall circulation plan can
be coordinated with changes in the Land Use Element revisions.
When the City adopted the current General Plan Circulation Element, it
included Table VIII-2, RECAPITULATION OF PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
WITHIN THE COLONY UNDER VARIOUS FISCAL JURISDICTIONS (Page 129) . The
table contains a listing of capital improvement projects thoughout the
Colony. Of these items listed, a majority are done or are being done
at the present time.
1. Primary arterial (2.1 miles) parallel to El Camino Real, with a
heavy duty bridge over Atascadero Creek. Staff is currently
working on specific development plans for the bridge, and Santa
Ysabel is currently being widened and reconstructed.
2. A bridge over Graves Creek to connect San Gabriel Road with
Graves Creek Road. The bridge was constructed over two years
ago.
3. Multi-purpose bikeways: Is a broad category - being addressed
in several ongoing projects by staff.
4. A new fire house: The new fire house on West Frontage Road is
now complete. .
5. New Schools: The San Gabriel Road School is being constructed
and the City is reviewing additional possible locations within the
City as part of the Public and Quasi-Public Services Element.
General Plan Amendment 2H-87
6. Acquisition of Stadium Park : Current budget constraints prohi-
bit acquisition.
7. Development of Chalk Mountain Regional Park: The park is cur-
rently developed.
8. Development of SEDES Creekways Plan: Implementation is ongoing.
9. New Post Office: The new post office plans are being finalized
for a site along south E1 Camino Real.
10. Landscaping of Freeway 101 to San Luis Obispo standards: Plans
for upgrading are underway and some work is being done.
11. Freeway 101 overcrossing at the Mall: State budget constraint.
12. Re-acquisition of that art of the Sunken Gardens now occupied by
the Junior High School campus: Current budget constraints pro-
hibit acquisition.
13. Acquisition of Graves Creek Reservation: Some have been
acquired; others will be.
14. Acquisition of Wranglerette Arena: Current budget constraints
prohibit acquisition.
• 15. Acquisition of Chandler Parkland: Ongoing.
The City is now in the process of adopting a five year Capital Im-
provement Program in conformance with State Law (Section 65403) .
Table VIII-2 reflects a specific work program that is better addressed
in the C. I.P. Its yearly review for conformance to the General Plan
will assure the conformity of individual projects at that time. Table
VIII-2 would be an unneeded duplication of that review and process for
adoption. Several of the projects are also beyond the means of the
agencies involved.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of General Plan amendment 2H-86 with the
elimination of Table VIII-2, and delay a review of specific General
Plan street designations until a later date.

ELIMINATION OF TABLE
VIII CIRCULATION VIII-2
C -
This Plan discusses the requirements of all the current
methods of transportation in Atascadero. Existing methods
are presumed to be practical within the terms of this Plan,
and circulation improvements are scaled to the growth of
all types of transportation uses that are assessed.
Policies related to transportation planning must relate
to feasibility and the estimated cost of improvements to such
intangible variables as the costs to motorists, convenience
between origins and destinations, and accidents and deaths .
The original Atascadero Colony road system was designed for
the automobile as the primary mode of transportation. The
system was laid out in the form of a wheel, the hub being
the Administration Park and the Central Business District,
and the spokes being principal arteries. The outer rim of
the wheel and several inner concentric roads were also
principal arterials, designed to carry traffic from point
to point without entering the downtown area.
The original streets were laid out with a 40-foot right-of-
way. There are three major factors which have contributed
to the present inadequacy of parts of the circulation system.
The first of these is the failure to develop and maintain •
all roads to their full rights-of-way. Shoulders either
have not been developed or have become overgrown with weeds
and eroded by weather. Residents have built fences or
planted trees and shrubs within the rights-of-way. In some
instances utility poles have been located too close to the
pavement.
These occurrences have resulted in some roads being narrower
than planned, with few or no facilities for pedestrians ,
bicyclists and equestrian traffic. A second factor is the
failure of the Central Business District to develop in the
areas envisioned in Lewis ' plan. Due to lack of planning
in the past, the commercial area has grown along the E1 Camino
Real corridors. This strip commercial development has created
traffic and parking problems. The third factor was the
bisection of the town in 1954 by Freeway 101. The introduction
of the freeway interrupted east-west traffic flow, and too few
grade-separation crossings were added to compensate for the
traffic interruption.
The 200-mile Colony road system has six components : Freeway
and Highways, Arterials Divided, Arterials Undivided,
Collectors, Local Streets and Paper Streets. Road Classi-
fications are indicated on LAND USE AND CIRCULATION MAP.
121.
Road System
1. Freeways and Highways
The major highways are Freeway 101 (7 . 0 miles) and
Highway 41. Freewav 101 bisects the Colonv from San
Ramon Road to south of Santa Barbara Road. There are
eight freeway exits, four of which are poorly designed
and contribute to traffic congestion (Traffic Way
southbound on-ramp, Morro Road northbound off-ramp
and Santa Rosa Road both north and southbound off
ramps) .
The appearance of the community along U. S. 101 from
Santa Barbara Road to San Ramon Road and along the
Morro Road section of Highway 41 needs to be improved.
This can be accomplished by:
a. Effective landscaping, using native shrubs , to
screen land uses from the highway.
b. Banning off-premises outdoor advertising signs
along these corridors.
The completion of Freeway 101 eliminated a vital
traffic route which served the Central Business District
• when access to Atascadero Avenue was interrupted by the
Freeway. CalTrans should initiate a project to raise
the Freeway at the present Mall pedestrian tunnel to
Permit vehicular traffic on Atascadero Mall from El
Camino Real to Atascadero Avenue.
Highway 41 bisects the community at right angles to
Freeway 101. The Eastern half runs through part of
the CBD, directly between two schools and through a
densely populated residential area. Proposed plans
to realign and improve Highway 41 along the Mercedes
route would:
a. Eliminate the truck traffic hazard on West Mall
in the area of the Atascadero Junior High and
Lewis Avenue Elementary School campuses.
b. Eliminate truck traffic at the very narrow bridge
and dogleg over Atascadero Creek.
C. Prevent trucks reaching the Southern Pacific under-
pass on Capistrano Avenue with its impaired vertical
clearance of 13 '-6 . "
Design of Highway 41 along the Mercedes alignment
should attempt to minimize the visual impacts on
Pine Mountain and should, with regard to the roadway e
width and residential driveway access , be similar to
122 .
that of surrounding City streets to minimize any
appearance of bisecting the community. When rerouting
of Highway 41 does take place, adequate pedestrian and
bicycle pathways shall be provided.
2. Divided Arterials
The two arterials are El Camino Real and Morro Road.
They serve as major highways linking Atascadero with
other communities, and they channel traffic to different
parts of town.
Divided arterials shall be developed in two lengths: on
E1 Camino Real from Rosario to San Diego Road and on
Morro Road from El Camino Real to San Gabriel Road.
The divided arterials shall also have a paving width
that will accommodate four traffic lanes, parallel
parking strips, bicycle lanes and curbs and sidewalks.
3. Undivided Arterials
These roads serve as major access routes betwen resi-
dential areas, shopping centers, employment centers and
primary recreation areas. Roads in this classification
must have shoulders wide enough to accommodate multi-
use paths and emergency parking.
There are fourteen segments of undivided arterials :
a. Atascadero Avenue from Morro Road to Freeway 101
provides major access to Santa Rosa Road Elementary
School. It is noted for heavy traffic and lack of
shoulders.
b. Traffic Way from El Camino Real to Potrero Road and
a future extension of Traffic Way beyond Potrero
Road to E1 Camino Real as a truck route. The portion
of Traffic Way between El Camino Real and Olmeda
Avenue is also designated to have 40 feet of paving
to allow for two 8-foot parking strips on both sides
of the arterial.
c. Curbaril Avenue from Morro Road to the Salinas River
crossing is a major local traffic route and is also
characterized by lack of adequate shoulders for non-
automobile traffic.

d. Portola Road from Morro Road to Ardilla Road to
San Anselmo Road to Preewav 101.

k. Potrero Road from Del Rio Road to Traffic Way.
1. E1 Camino Real north of Rosario.
M. El Camino Real south of San Diego Road.
n. Morro Road west of San Gabriel Road.
To complete the northwestern segment of the outer perimeter
road, San Gabriel Road shall be connected to Santa Ana and
Graves Creek Roads by a bridge over Graves Creek at Santa
Lucia Road.
4. Collectors
These are further classified as urban, suburban and rural
collectors. - These roads are designed primarily to carry
traffic from local streets within a neighborhood district
to the arterials . Shoulders must be appropriately designed
to include multi-use paths.
a. urban Collectors

iii. San Benito Road from El Camino Real to Del
Rio Road .
iv. E1 Bordo Avenue from El Camino Real to Chalk
Mountain Regional Park
C. Rural Collectors
i. Santa Lucia Road from Portola Road to the end.
ii. Viejo Camino from E1 Camino Real to Santa
Barbara Road
iiia A loop consisting of Santa Barbara Road, Carmel
Road and San Antonio Road
5. Local Streets
Further studies of local street patterns are needed.
Every effort shall be made to improve Atascadero 's streets
to the criteria defined in this section, while retaining
the rural character. At the present time, street condi-
tions in many areas of Atascadero are below the level
expected by the people.
6. Paper Streets
Paper streets exist primarily in the outer fringes of the
Colony. They shall be developed as- required, to the stand-
ards herein defined.
7. Trails
At present the Colonv has no established bikeways, and
equestrian or walking trails are found only in limited
areas. Proposed creekway paths accommodating these uses
are proposed from San Gabriel Road to the east of E1 Camino
Real. The paths would have two all-weather rustic bridges
as off-highway crossings.
8. Curbs, Gutter and Sidewalks
The following recommended requirements apply in different
use districts:
a. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks shall be required in all
commercial land use areas except commercial use areas
oriented to highway travel. In the case of highway
commercial areas, each permit should be considered as
a separate case, and a determination based on perform-
ance standards recognizing the character of the area,
pedestrian and vehicular movements and drainage
characteristics. Substitution of berms for curbs shall
be considered.
125 .
b. Curbs and gutters shall be required in all industrial
land use categories. Sidewalks may or may not be
required.
C. In duplex-residential areas each application shall
be reviewed for curbs and gutters and a determination
made whether they shall be required. Substitution
of berms for curbs shall be considered. Sidewalks
shall not be required.
d. In apartment areas curbs and gutters shall be required.
Each application shall meet performance standards
requiring sidewalks when higher frequencies of pede-
strian traffic are anticipated. Sidewalks shall be
constructed of all-weather natural materials.

Traffic Problems in the Central Business District
Traffic circulation and attendance parking problems are severe
in the Central Business District north of Atascadero Creek.
At present there are a number of lots in the Central Business
District that are in residential use. This _plan envisions
eventual commercial use of these lots. Full development of
this area will require a drastic change in traffic patterns
to maintain a free flow of traffic. A possible solution might
be: initiation of one-way traffic on some streets (e.g. , west
on West Mall, south on Palma Avenue) .
Off-street parking is currently required of any new commercial
construction. The more recently developed areas of the Central
Business District, namely from Atascadero Creek south to the
southern border of the Thriftv Drug complex, have adequate
Off-street parking. But the core of the Central Business District
has severe parking problems. P_ survey of current businesses in
the core shows that 821 off-street parking sites would be
• required if those businesses were built under present regulations.
There are, in fact, only 176 off-street parking sites . One-
third of this total is located at the extreme north end of the
Central Business District. There are several potential sites
that could be used. They include:
126 .
a. The lot fronting Traffic Way between Villa Atascadero
and the Cameo Beautv Shop.
b. Numerous sites that currently are occupied by duplexes.
These sites exist on Entrada Avenue, Lewis Avenue and
West Mall.
C. The lot on Entrada Avenue between 5975 Entrada Avenue
and the Post Office buildina.
One or more of these lots shall be acquired for parking. Pos-
sible methods of acquisition include:
a. Downtown Parking Assessment District. This method
would distribute the financial load among all of the
benefiting businesses. It would, on the other hand,
penalize those merchants who have independently
developed off-street parking for their businesses.
Equitable distribution of cost could be built into
the mechanics of district formation.
b. Cooperative purchase and development by downtown
merchants. This method would provide the most rapid
means of developing off-street parking. It could
result in a few businessmen financing off-street
parking for the benefit of all;' but with the possibilit
of creating a satisfactory investment.
Drainage Problems Related to Streets
Lack of adequate street drainage has in the past caused temporary
blockage of traffic and inundation of homes and businesses . In
some areas, the problem has been corrected, but a unified drainage
plan and system does not exist. Some of the worst problem areas
are:
- Traffic Way between El Camino Real and Lewis Avenue
- The intersection of Palma and Entrada Avenues
- The Morro Flats
A systematic study of the Colony shall be made, and a comprehensive
flood control and drainage system shall be designed. Implementa-
tio__ of such a plan shall be integrated with a program of street
improvement and expansion of the Sewer Improvement District.
Other Forms of Transportation
1. Railroads
Railroads are the most energy-efficient method of trans-
portation. Single passenger commuting by car to San Luis
Obispo and Paso Robles is the least efficient. As the
127 .
• energy crisis deepens, studies shall be made of the econo-
mics of operating single-car diesel commuter service over
the Southern Pacific, as is done in the East. ` )
Spur tracks exist, and more could readily be developed
to serve the proposed Industrial Parks along the right-
of-way.
2. Airports
Carrier and cargo service is available to Atascadero at
the Paso Robles Municipal Airport, 15 miles to the north,
and the San Luis Obispo County Airport, 20 miles to the
south, both via Freeway 101.
Previous General Plans for Atascadero have shown an
airport facility east of the Salinas River. The County
Aviation Plan and the 1972 plan of the SouthernCalifornia
Association of Governments propose an airpark to be located
in the Atascadero area, at a site yet to be determined.
An airpark in Atascadero is a desirable facility, especi-
ally as the population grows towards 30, 000, and with a
major golf course in the 200-acre Chalk Mountain Regional
Park.
3. Public Transportation
The principal mass transportation service in the Atasca-
dero area is that of the Greyhound Bus Company. Although
bus service appears adequate, terminal facilities are
lacking, and the location of the bus stop is disruptive
to traffic. A location near the Central Business District
shall be acquired for terminal use. The bus company shall
be encouraged to locate a terminal as soon as possible.
Commuter bus service to San Luis Obispo and other County
destinations remains a need. There are many persons who
might support such a system. Several types are available,
from fixed routes to the personalized Dial-a-Bus system.
4. Bikeways
In past years a great network of roads, streets and high-
ways has. been built in the Colony to accommodate the auto-
mobile, with virtually no provision for bicycle use. The
energy crisis, recreation, more leisure time, interest in
physical fitness and concern for the environment are all
stimulating the bicycle ' s resurgence, reflected in increasing
public pressure for pathways and routes where bicycles can
be ridden in relative safety. This will allow utilization
of the roads for several purposes and make the roadways
• safer for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians .
128 .
5. Pedestrians
Pathways shall be incorporated in some bikeways and
equestrian trails. Busy areas magnify the importance
of providing space for the pedestrian. Of special
importance is a pedestrian-oriented Central Business
District.

SUBJECT : AB 2020 "THE BOTTLE BILL"
As you are all probably aware, California has a "Bottle Bill"
which is being implemented on October 1, 1987. I attended a
seminar put on by the Division of Recycling in Fresno, August
11th. The topic was AB 2020 and a general overview of the bill
was given as well as the impacts that the bill will have on
local government. A further analysis of the "Bottle Bill" and
Recycling is covered in the August issue of Western City, the
entire issue is devoted to Recycling and AB 2020.
In general , the immediate impact of AB 2020 on the City of
Atascadero will be slight. I have contacted the local markets
( Safeway , Williams Bros . and Lucky) and offered any help
necessary in order to help with the implementation of AB 2020.
• The general impacts of AB 2020 are summarized below:
CONVENIENCE ZONES
The attached map shows the convenience zones that have been
established in Atascadero . Our zoning ordinance allows
Collection Stations in all land use zones. This means that there
are no urgency measures that we must take in order to comply with
AB 2020 . We should consider though, if we want additional
appearance standards to apply to Collection Stations. As of this
date no commercial recyclers have applied for permits to
establish any Collection Stations in any convenience zones.
MODEL ZONING ORDINANCE
The Division of Recycling has prepared a model ordinance which we
should review and consider adopting in a modified form sometime
in the near future. It contains new terminology and definitions
which we do not have in our current ordinance. The field of
recycling has changed and the model ordinance reflects these
changes . The definitions of the various types of recycling
facilities should be included in our ordinance. A copy of the
model ordinance is attached.
I will be working with Norma Dengler, County of San Luis Obispo,
on the County' s efforts to coordinate recycling efforts on a
County wide basis.

FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director A
SUBJECT: Continued consideration of Tentative Parcel Map 5-87
LOCATION: 8925 Atascadero Avenue (Parcel A of CO 76-280)
APPLICANT: Robert S. Fisher
REQUEST: Consideration of redesign of a subdivision containing 1.72
acres into lots of 0 .99 and 0 .73 acres each respectively.
Original request was for division into three lots maintain-
ing 0. 5 acres, 0. 5 acres and 0 .72 acres.
BACKGROUND:
• This matter was before the City Council as a public hearing item on
August 11, 1987 and was continued to the meeting of August 25, 1987
(refer to attached agenda packet) .
STATUS UPDATE:
Following the City Council meeting, the Fire Department has submitted
the attached memorandum confirming their approval of the turn-around
design and new fire hydrant location at the intersection of the pri-
vate road and Atascadero Avenue. Staff also met with Mr. Fisher re-
garding concerns expressed at the Council meeting. He indicated a
willingness to install reflectorized house numbers at the entry to
each of the lots in question together with a master house numbering
sign at Atascadero Avenue and the private road to respond to Council
concerns relative to emergency access to flag lots.
RECOMMENDATIONS - ALTERNATIVES:
The attached staff report indicates alternative recommendations for a
three-way split (staff recommendation) , and a two-way split (directed
by Council April 28, 1987) .
For either action, it is further recommended that the following con-
dition be added:
•
1
"A Reflectorized house number master sign shall be located at
Atascadero Avenue and the private road with individual reflector-
ized signs provided for each home site. "

SUBJECT: Continued Consideration Tentative Parcel Map 5-87
LOCATION: 8925 Atascadero Avenue (Parcel A of CO 76-280)
APPLICANT: Robert S. Fisher
REQUEST: Consideration of redesign of a subdivision containing
1.72 acres into 2 lots of . 99 and . 73 acres each, re-
spectively. Original request was for division into
three lots containing . 5 acres, . 5 acres and . 72 acres.
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council ' s April 28th, 1987 meeting this proposed threeway
lot split was removed from the Consent Agenda and staff was directed
to negotiate with the applicant, with the intent to split the property
two ways (refer to attached background materials) . Subsequently, the
applicant has submitted a letter in support of the three-way split,
together with modified exhibits for two-way and a three-way lot split
which show topgraphy and turn around details for emergency vehicles.
ANALYSIS:
As reflected in the attached minute excerpts, the issues that were
raised with this proposed split focused on emergency access, adequacy
of turn arounds for fire equipment and drainage.
City standards for private roads require 16 foot of paving on a 20
foot base. This condition of approval would apply to either a two-way
or three-way split of the property. The exhibits submitted on July
22nd comparing the two-way split with a three-way split have been re-
viewed and approved by the Fire Department for turn-around. Note that
the turn-around detail would be essentially the same for either de-
sign.
With respect to drainage, the project is conditioned to submit appro-
priate grading, drainage and erosion control plans and appropriate
improvement requirements as approved by the Public Works Department.
With respect to the drainage towards Atascadero Avenue, there would be
no increase in drainage caused by a three-way split in that the pro-
posed third lot drains towards Coromar.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION (3 WAY SPLIT) :
Approval subject to the Planning Commission' s recommended findings and
conditions of approval to accommodate a three-way division as reflec-
ted in the Exhibit submitted on July 22, 1987 .
ALTERNATIVE (2 WAY SPLIT) :
If following review and discussion, Council concludes that a two-way
split is appropriate, this could be accomplished by approving a re-
vised Exhibit D, Findings for Approval with Finding No. 1 changed to
read as follows:
"1. The creation of a land division re-designed to accommodate
two parcels conforms -to the Zoning Ordinance and General
Plan. "
. In addition, Exhibit E Conditions of Approval (revised) could be modi-
fied to add a new Condition No. 1, and renumbering of subsequent con-
ditions, with Condition No. 1 to read as follows:
"l. . The applicant shall redesign the project consistent with the
attached Exhibit submitted July 22, 1987 for a two lot
split. "

Dear Council Members:
Re: Tentative Parcel Map 5-87
Please accept this letter as a formal acknowledgement that I wish
to proceed with my tentative parcel map as orginally proposed. I
request that the item be placed on the Council agenda for the July
14th meeting. I have second thoughts about going into such detail
regarding this matter in a letter, but feel some real clarification
of the issues are called for. I feel these are better presented to
you in this outline form and thank you in advance for taking the
time to read it . The reasons for my decision are as follows:
1 . The project, as submitted, is in total conformance with
general plan, zoning, and subdivision requirements. I am
not requesting any special considerations.
2. I am in total agreement with all the conditions for approval
in the Planning Department ' s staff report .
3. There are no real drainage, traffic, or fire access problems
-and I would urge you to confirm this with the various city
departments involved ( fire, planning, public works) . These
issues are simply exaggerations raised by one neighbor who
is, and has been consistently opposed to the 20, 000 sq. ft .
zoning (see item 4) , and is using every method available
to stop the lot splits in our neighborhood .
4. I am a licensed architect . I deal with site planning,
grading, drainage, and access circulation on a daily basis
,in my profession. There are no problems on this site. I
have retained a civil engineer with additional expertise
in these areas. It is also his opinion that there are no
Problems with this proposal . Your own professional City
Staff (planning, fire, engineering) recommends approval
of the three-way split with conditions I am in complete
agreement with . Their non-biased input, in my opinion, is
the most useful you can receive on this matter . Your
Planning Commission, after review of the issues involved,
also supported the three-way split . The only objections
to the project have come from my neighbor who has and will
continue to oppose any lot splits in the area because he
simply does not agree with the new zoning classification
for the neighborhood. While he is entitled to his opinion
to disagree with
9 your unanimous decision (to allow 20,,000
sq. ft . parcels in the area) , he should not be allowed to
distort or exaggerate the actual conditions that exist on
the site. His expertise in land use planning is limited;
he is not a recognized expert in any of the related site
Planning fields.
5. The two areas of discussion at the April 28th Council meet-
ing which saw this item continued were fire access and
drainage. Regarding fire access: dropping to a two-way
Split will in no way alter driveway, turnaround, and hydrant
requirements from that which is needed for the three-way
split. The drainage concerns are also moot. There is
simply no impact on the drainage patterns due to the third
lot as it is entirely beyond the high point of the property
and drains completely in the opposite direction from the
objecting neighbor. Any concentration of drainage water
near this neighbor is due to the improper grading or shelf
cut. into his lot when it was developed. Approving my
project will alleviate this minor and temporary concentra-
tion at the driveway mid-point (see conditions for approval
#12, Exhibit E) . Dropping to a two-way split will not
change these conditions or requirements in any way.
For the reasons stated above, I believe a three-way split is per-
fectly reasonable for the site.
In closing, the project as presented meets all the requirements of
the City of Atascadero. None of the professionals involved
have any problem supporting the three-way split, and it was approv-
ed by the Planning Commission. Based on the one objecting neigh-
bor ' s concerns, there is simply no difference between a two and a
three-way split. I will be contacting each of you prior to the
Council meeting to discuss the possibility of visiting the site.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding
this matter. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Robert S. Fisher

Pub 'c Comment
John F kenstien, representing Mr. Hawkins, reviewed the hi ory o
this ap ication. He spoke in support of Council appro 1 of this
map and pr osed subdivision.
Mr. Jorgensen " City Atty. , stated that he believes t proposed ma
does meet theetter of the law as far as the 20, 00 sq. ft. minimu
being within one I operty ownership; however, he asked if it was th
Council's desire allow 20 ,000 sq. ft. lote where a considerabl
portion of each lot m' ht be effectively unusable because it is withi
road right-of-ways. He oted that staff will,`be bringing a recommen-
dation before Council at the 20 ,000 sq./kt. standard be amended t
include those areas exclus a of road ri hi-of-ways, which will solv
the problem for the future.
Further related discussion ensu "
!r Engen referenced an earlierM
exhibit which accompanied the General Plan amendment indicating a 10
lot development. Council consented\to urge that staff amend the zon '
ing text, possibly by urgency ordinance, to address the issue of grossl
acreage vs. net acreage. Mr .,--Engen responded that he would consul
with the City Atty. for alternatives and report back to Council.

address any problems, urging approval of his application.

Dennis Lockridge, 8935 Atascadero Ave. , expressed strong opposition
this project, mainly due to site suitability, drainage deficienci
and flag lot development. He expressed concern regarding potential
emergency access issues as well as driveway maintenance responsibili-
ties. Mr. Engen responded to concerns expressed, reviewing related
Conditions of Approval in agenda packet.
MOTION: By Councilwoman Borgeson to deny TPM 5-87; motion died for
lack of a second.
Council discussion ensued regarding whether a two-way split would be
acceptable to both Council and the applicant. Mr. Jorgensen, City
Atty. , recommended a continuance of this item in order to allow staff
to work with the applicant and establish findings for a possible two-
way split.
MOTION: By Councilman Bourbeau to continue TPM 5-87, directing staff
to negotiate with the applicant with the intent to split the
property two ways, rather than three, and come up with an
acceptable emergency vehicle turnaround. Motion seconded by

B. ANALYSIS:
The application before the Commission proposes the subdivision of one
parcel containing 1.72 acres into three (3) parcels containing 0. 5
acres, 0. 5 acres, and 0 .72 acres. The property proposed for subdi-
vision is located in an RSF-X zoning district. The minimum lot size
in this zone is 0. 5 acres where sewers are not available and 20,000
square feet where sewers are available.
Staff Report - TPM 5-87
8925 Atascadero Ave. (Fisher)
Page Two
Analysis - Cont'd
The subject property currently contains a single family residence on
Parcel 1. Proposed Parcels 2 and 3 are vacant. The new lots being
created are located behind the existing dwelling. Access to these
rear lots will be by easement crossing the front lot. This easement
will also serve as a Public Utilities Easement allowing the rear lots
to be connected to existing utilities in Atascadero Avenue.
The area surrounding the subject parcel was the subject of recent Gen-
. eral Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments allowing for the establish-
ment of one-half acre and 20 ,000 square foot lots. The proposal be-
fore the Commission is in conformance with the new General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance provisions. Staff believes that the type and density
of development proposed is apropriate for the neighborhood.
C. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends conditional approval of Tentative Parcel Map 5-87
based on the Findings in Exhibit D and the Conditions of Approval in
Exhibit E.

• MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council August 25, 1987
VIA: Michael Shelton, City Manager [tL-� -
FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director ,
SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment 2E-87
LOCATION: 5599 Traffic Way
APPLICANT: City of Atascadero (Parks and Recreation Department)
REQUEST: To modify the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
General Plan
BACKGROUND:
At the Council ' s meeting of August 11th, the attached Resolution No.
84-87 was considered to amend the General Plan to remove an obstacle
to receipt of a State grant to improve the Traffic Way ball fields.
The amendment included language pertaining to the Armory as being part
of an overall area being proposed to be changed from proposed future
industrial uses to a change indicating master planning of the overall
area for "a mix of public and recreational uses" .
ISSUE:
The County is in the process of negotiating sale and or transfer of
the Armory property to the state, and their appraisals have been pred-
icated on continuation of essentially the status quo. The accompany-
ing letter has been submitted in support of deleting any reference to
the Armory as part of the General Plan Amendment under consideration.
Staff has no objections to deleting specific mention to "National
Guard Armory" in the amendment.
RECOMMENDATION•
1. Approval of Resolution No. 84-87 with the proposed language in
Exhibit A modified to read:
i
"l. Publicly owned property on Traffic Way from Olmeda to Bajada,
including the two Little League fields and the sewage treat-
ment plant area, shall be master planned for a mix of public
and recreational uses. "

The National Guard and the County are presently concluding an exchange of real
property. This transaction will , when completed, give fee title of the Armory site
to the National Guard. It would not be prudent at this time to have the status quo

SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment 2E-87 and Zone Change 10-87
LOCATION: 5599 Traffic Way
APPLICANT: City of Atascadero (Parks and Recreation Department)
REQUEST: To modify the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
General Plan and amend the Zoning Ordinance pertaining
to the Public (P) Zone.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing of this matter at
its July 21, 1987 meeting, and recommended approval of General Plan
Amendment 2E-87 and Zone Change 10-87 . Resolution 38-87 was adopted
May 26, 1987 , which approved the application for grant funds under the
1986 Community Parklands Act to develop the youth sports complex on
Traffic Way. This request for funds is contingent upon the planned
park improvements being consistent with the General Plan. On May 26 ,
the City Council also directed staff to prepare analysis and bring to
public hearing this general plan amendment. The study area was ex-
panded to include publicly owned property on Traffic Way from Olmeda
-to Bajada.
RECOMMENDATION•
1. Approval of Resolution No. 84-87 to amend the General Plan.
2. Approval of Ordinance No. 157 by title only. (1st Reading)
3. Approve Ordinance No. 157 to amend the Zoning Ordinance.

B. ANALYSIS•
The Atascadero Parks and Recreation Department has requested a modifi-
cation to the Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan
to allow expansion of the existing park facilities. The site is pres-
ently developed with two Little League baseball fields and the old
sewage treatment plant. The City Council has adopted a resolution
approving an application for a grant under the Community Parklands Act
to fund these proposed improvements. Public improvements must be
found to be consistent with the City' s General Plan. However , the
1980 General Plan contains a policy that this area shall be designated
for light-industrial uses and the baseball fields relocated. Further-
more, the existing use is nonconforming under the Zoning Ordinance.
Staff analysis will focus on general plan and zoning ordinance
consistency.
General Plan Language
The Land Use Element contains Light Industrial Policies on Page 74.
Policy #1 states that:
"Light Industry land use between Traffic Way and Atascadero Creek
and from the Armory to the railroad tracks shall be redesignated
as a Light Industrial Park , with the specific design and land use
criteria as described in Chapter XIII, Community Appearance. "
This policy is referred to in the Open Space and Conservation Element.
Page 86 states that:
"Because the two baseball fields located adjacent to the sewage
plant are designated for industrial uses in this plan, another
site nearby shall be found to relocate them. "
Several problems with this current language come to mind. First, the
baseball fields are existing and there is not a site of suitable size
with proper zoning (L-Recreation) in the area to accomodate them.
Second, current land use designation on the south side of Traffic Way
from Bajada to the railroad tracks is for industrial uses. Staff
notes that this area is presently not fully developed. Additional va-
cant land for light industry also exists along the El Camino/U.S. 101
corridor from Plata Lane to Santa Rosa. Thus, current City policy is
to move existing baseball diamonds to create additional industrial
land, when the need for such land is questionable. For these reasons,
staff is recommending the deletion of these two general plan policies.
Staff encourages the continued development of recreational opportuni-
ties in Atascadero. This particular site has been underutilized for
quite some time and represents several possibilities. A master plan
to coordinate recreational and public uses is necessary. Policy
language is suggested to ensure this.
Zoning Ordinance Language
In addition to not being in conformance with the General Plan, the
expansion of the existing park facilities is not allowed under the
Zoning Ordinance. Outdoor recreation services is not an allowed or
conditionally allowed use in the Public (P) zone. A nonconforming use
may not be enlarged, expanded, or extended to occupy a greater area of
land. To change the zoning on the property to L (Recreation) , would
limit the potential for a mix of recreational and public uses. The
other choice is to add outdoor recreation services to the allowed uses
in the P zone. Staff sees no problem with the compatibility between
outdoor recreational and public uses. A master plan of development
can see to a proper mix.
Summary
Staff is suggesting that the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance be
amended to allow for expansion and upgrading of the youth sports com-
plex on Traffic Way. Along with the recent improvements at Atasca-
dero Lake Park and the creation of La Paloma Creek Park, this area
can contribute to the recreational options of the City. Furthermore,
the site contains the Armory building which may be a suitable site
for a community center . A master plan of development is the proper
method to determine site design.
C. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of General Plan Amendment 2E-87 and Zone
Change 10-87 subject to the findings in Exhibit E and F.

Subject : Request for General Plan Amendment (Traffic Way Softball/ `
Baseball Fields)
The Atascadero Parks and Recreation. Department is requesting the
Planning Commission initiate a General Plan Amendment at 5599 Traffic
Way. This area is currently being used for recreation purposes by the
youth of Atascadero.
n S.
This area (APN 29-091-07) is currently designated for industrial
uses in the General Plan, and these fields should be re-located to meet x:
the current language. It is the request of the Parks and Recreation
Department to have the current language in the General Plan eliminated,
and allow for "Recreational" use of the existing area. - It is our intent
to make major improvements in this area in the future , and it is neces-
sary that we be able to
provide certification to the State of California
that the improvements planned for this area are consistant with theark
and recreation plan, p �3:.
This project is a priority to the department and to the City Council ,
and request your assistance in amending the General Plan to allow for
continued recreational usage of this area.

_Liaht Industrial Policy Proposals
D E L E T E 1. Light Industry land use between Traffic Way and Atas- I �'
cadero Creek and from the Armory to the railroad tracks
shall be redesignated as a Light Industrial Park, with
I the specific design and land use criteria as described f
in Chapter XIII, 60MMUNITY APPEARANCE.
The area along the west side of El Camino Real from
Curbaril Avenue south to the Commercial use at the
Santa Rosa overpass shall also be upgraded to the
status of Industrial Park.
n
Additional areas for light industrial development
near Ferro-car_ril Avenue should be considered if the
permitted uses would not adversely affect the sur-
rounding properties and could not be more appropriately
located in existing areas .
Light industrial uses outside the Urban Services Line
shall be examined and reviewed, on an individual
basis, to insure that there is no conflict between
the intensity of the land use and minimum parcel sizes.
Sewage disposal shall be a prime factor .for consideration.
Further review and analysis, including economic
studies, should be made concerning industrial needs
in order to enhance employment opportunities and to
encourage a broad and diversified economy within the
City. Potential sites for future industrial devel-
opment should be evaluated in conjunction therewith.

landscaping with appropriate trees and shrubs would enrich
the now barren appearance of the west end of the nark.
More (and more attractive) trash receptacles and a stricter
maintenance program are desirable. The successful reactiva-
tion of the fountain by community groups suggests that
further community and service club donation of money, talent
and time is the route to follow in restoring this small
remaining fragment of what was once one of the glories of
Atascadero.

related facilities. In 1973, a 10-vear minimum development
plan was approved in principle by the Board of Supervisors.
In 1977, having funded the project, the Board has directed
the implementation of Phase I. Maps VI-3 and VI-3A.
Of the three Little League Baseball Fields, two are located
in the sewage plant area and one in the Atascadero Lake Park
area. The acreages are about 1. 5 and 1. 0 , respectively.
DELETE Because the two fields located adjacent to the sewage plant
S E N T E N C p are designated for industrial uses in this Plan, another
.site near _v shall e found to relocate them. In addition,
the northeast octant needs a field.
The Wranglerette Arena is an area of 5 acres of bottomland,
consisting of a fenced arena, clubhouse and improvements,
along with 25 acres of Salinas River bed. In event of
dissolution of the organization, this property cannot be
sold for profit of the membership and possible would be
deeded to the community.
Neighborhood Parks: provide recreational opportunities not
available on prrya.te residential land. They can be. coot-
dinated in a community recreation program that, meets; th.e.
needs of all age groups. These parks shall be properly,
located so they best serve th.e population intended to use
them. Examples of recreation facilities that shall be con-
sidered include: community rooms, playgrounds and picnic
equipment, ball fields and courts,
1. All school grounds shall be avilable .for public rec-
reational use when classes are not in session, as
shall the High School tennis courts and 50-meter
Olympic pool when not in scheduled use.
2. An area of approximately five acres shall be acquired
adjacent to each new school site wherein playground and
recreational facilities could be constructed to supple-
ment school facilities.

SUBJECT: DIRECT ELECTION OF MAYOR SURVEY
In accordance with pervious Council comments and request by
Council at the August 11, 1987 City Council Meeting, the follow-
ing is a proposed survey requesting citizen input as to the com-
munity' s desire to place the Mayor selection issue on the June, "
1988 ballot.
Attached is a proposed survey that could be printed in both the
Atascadero News and the North County Edition of the Telegram
Tribune. The publishing date proposed would be September 9 and
10 , respectively.
The survey requests responses to be sent to the City Clerk' s
Office for tallying and report to Council. As an alternative,
Council may wish the responses be sent directly to Council in
care of the Mayor.
It is important for Council to consider survey introduction and
wording to insure no ambiguity. Survey intended meaning and
interpretation hopefully would not be clouded.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact to print the following questionnaire in both
the Atascadero News and the North County Edition of the Telegram
Tribune once would be approximately $200-300 .
ALTERNATIVES:
Council may wish to do a direct-mail-out rather than a newspaper
article. Estimated cost would be $700-$800 if sent to every
household.
Council may direct the issue to be on the next ballot without an
advisory survey.
Council may discontinue or delay consideration of the issue.
Council may wish to do a more scientific survey (perhaps using
Cal Poly students) in which random sampling techniques
• could be utilized.
ACTION:
Direct City Clerk to have published in the Atascadero News and
Telegram Tribune, North County Edition the attached survey on
dates specified, tally results, and report results at the
October 13, 1987 Council Meeting.

TO: City Council August 25, 1987

FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director K1
SUBJECT: Freeway Sign Policy (continued from July 28, 1987)
BACKGROUND:
.At the Council ' s July 28th meeting, there was discussion of Council
concerns relative to the City' s sign policy (refer to attached July
28, 1987 staff report) . Action of the Council was to direct staff to
prepare a report discussing alternatives in the sign ordinance and to
review the Planning Commission's level of authority on this matter .
ANALYSIS:
Existing Sign Policy - At present, the Planning Commission has au-
thority for approval of conditional use permits for any freeway iden-
tification sign (see attached zoning excerpt) . There is little in the
way of written guidelines as to what constitutes a freeway identifica-
tion sign and when such signs should or should not be granted ap-
proval.
In 1986 , there were 22 conditional use permits considered by the Plan-
ning Commission. Five were for freeway signs, six were for other
types of signage approvals, and eleven were to establish uses requir-
ing conditional use permits. In total, signs constituted 50% of the
use permit agenda workload.
Planning Commission Responsibilities - The attached memorandum dated
July 28 , 1987 recites the role of the Planning Commission with respect
to permit applications. Note that variances and conditional use per-
mits are assigned for final determination by the Planning Commission
unless appealed. Appeals can be initiated by any aggrieved party
accompanied by a $100 fee. Planning Commissioners may appeal staff
determinations (as on precise plans) and any member of the City Coun-
cil may appeal any determination thereby generating a public hearing
before the Council. There is no fee required with appeals filed by
either a Planning Commission or City Council member .
As part of the Council' s last discussion on this subject, it was noted
that final determinations on conditional use permits and/or freeway
• signs could be made to come to the City Council, either as a consent
agenda item or as a public hearing matter .
Disadvantages of having conditional use permits come to the Council •
include:
1. adding three weeks to the time it takes to get a decision on a use
permit
2. impacting City Council' s already full agenda
3. diminishing the role of the Planning Commission.
In cases where Council is concerned over decisions made by the Plan-
ning Commission on a project, the first thing that should be examined
is the standards and criteria within the ordinance. With respect to
freeway signs, it is staff' s opinion that the language in the zoning
ordinance is too loose and should be amended with stronger criteria
being set.
PROPOSED FREEWAY SIGN CRITERIA:
The Uniform Sign Code identifies a freeway sign as follows:
"Freeway oriented sign (controlled access highway sign) - Any
sign identifying premises where food, lodging, or places of busi-
ness are located that engage -in supplying goods and services es-
sential to normal operation of motor vehicles, and where busi-
nesses are directly dependent on the adjacent freeway for busi- •
ness. "
It is recommended that the foregoing type of language be incorporated
into the Zoning Ordinance and that Section 9-4.134 (f) Freeway Identi-
fication Signs, be amended to limit freeway signage to include rest-
aurants, gas stations, motels, and possibly the principal tenant - or
center name - of a planned shopping, office, or industrial complex
with five or more tenants.
'RECOMMENDATION:
Following review and discussion as to appropriate criteria, initiate a
zoning text amendment strengthening the criteria necessary for ap-
proval of freeway identification signs. This will require staff anal-
ysis and public hearings before the Planning Commission leading to a
recommendation back to the City Council and a public hearing.
ALTERNATIVE:
If it is the City Council' s desire to require that conditional use
permits be approved by the City Council, this would require initiation
of a zoning text amendment to limit the authority of the Planning Com-
mission through amendment of the zoning ordinance.

TO: City Council July 28, 1987
VIA: Michael Shelton, City Manager
FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director LYE
SUBJECT: Freeway Sign Policy
BACKGROUND:
Several members of the Council have expressed concerns over freeway
sign construction in the City. Freeway identifications signs are de-
fined as "an on-site sign permitted for a highway-oriented use" in the
Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the
City' s procedures with respect to freeway signs.
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCES:
The General Plan contains the following language with respect to
signage:
"The key to optimum commercial development in A
P p tascadero is:
. . . (4) Location of highway businesses near key freeway accesses. "
"Commercial uses shall be developed in clusters to encourage con-
centrations of compatible retail trade service. Each cluster
shall be developed in a coordinated architectural design. The
signing and identification of the stores in each cluster shall be
combined, thus reducing the confusing clutter . "
"Tourist commercial provides for, uses that serve the traveling
public such as motels, restaurants, and automotive services.
These services are properly located at intersections of major
inter-community routes where permanent access are constructed and
which have some high aesthetic value. "
"Development of these areas shall relate strictly to the environ-
mental and aesthetic principles suggested in the Atascadero policy
statement and outlined in the Community Appearance chapter of this
Plan. "
"The appearance of the community along U.S. Highway 101 from Santa
Barbara Road to San Ramon Road and along the Morro Road section of
Highway 41 needs to be improved. This can be accomplished by:
(a) Effective landscaping, using native shrubs, to screen land
uses from the highway.
(b) Banning-off premises outdoor advertising signs along these
corridors. "
"Outdoor advertising signs shall be eliminated along freeways and
major highways. "
"Freeway and other vehicular approaches to Atascadero shall be
made more attractive through judicious application of the elements
of landscaping and site development (i.e. , setbacks, building
location, signs, vacant space) . "
"Signing: Well designed and maintained signs properly related
to the activities to which they pertain, are a necessary part of
the community. Proper use of color , materials, and lighting,
compatible with the surrounding area, is important.
(a) Signing shall be in harmony with community standards, as
applied to each development.
(d) Lighting of signing shall be constant and be directed or
shielded so as to not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular
movement.
(f) Off-site commercial signing shall not be permitted. "
The City' s Appearance Review Manual sets criteria for signage but
makes no specific mention of freeway signs. Criteria applicable to
all signs calls for proper proportion, design as an integral architec-
tural element of a project to which it relates, "colors, materials,
and lighting, every sign shall be restrained and harmonious with the
building and site to which it principally relates" , minimizing number
of graphic elements, "each sign shall be compatible with signs on ad-
joining premises and not compete for attention" , and a requirement
that standard corporate logos conform to community sign criteria.
EXISTING ZONING PROVISIONS:
"The Sign Ordinance" is contained in the City' s Zoning Regulations
(see attached excerpt) . " Highway identification signs or freeway iden-
tification signs are permitted as a conditional use permit at the dis-
cretion of the Planning Commission. Such signs may be up to 125
square feet in area and up to 50 feet above grade subject to criteria
contained in the zoning ordinance which is rather general as to type
of signage permitted.
Special factors to be considered for freeway identification signs are
noted in Section 9-4. 130 . The purposes for signing are noted as: (1)
for identifying businesses, (2) serve as information bases, and (3)
insure the safety of the general public by not creating distractions.
In the earlier days following incorporation, freeway sign approvals
were generally limited to signage identifying travel-oriented busi-
nesses such as restaurants, motels, and gas stations. In recent
years, the Planning Commission has taken a more liberal view and ap-
2
0 •
proved freeway signage for such uses as a transmission shop, auto body
shop, auto dealer, boat servicing facility, and general merchandise
store.
Staff has as a special study project the comprehensive re-write of the
City' s sign provisions. Should the Council have a special concern for
the freeway signage, it could initiate a zoning amendment to re-write
freeway sign language to tighten the types of signage which can be
approved along the freeway. This would require review and public
hearing by the Planning Commission with the matter brought back to the
City Council for action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Following Council discussion, initiate a zoning text amendment rela-
tive to freeway signage with direction as to sign criteria desired.
ALTERNATIVE:
Following discussion, direct staff to incorporate new freeway sign
criteria in its comprehensive re-write of the zoning ordinance' s sign
provisions.

TO: Mayor and City Council July 28, 1987
FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Planning Commission Responsibilities and Appeals Process
BACKGROUND:
Several members of the Council have recently inquired on matters that
come before the Planning Commission for final determinations and the
City' s appeals process.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESPONSIBILITIES:
The enclosed memorandum dated May 20, 1985 highlights the matters that
go before the Planning Commission and references those which have been
assigned as a delegated responsiblity to the Commission, i.e. , condi-
tional use permits and variances. Last year there were 22 conditional
use permits heard by the Planning Commission and no variance
applications.
APPEALS RIGHTS :
The enclosed section of the Zoning Ordinance notes that any person may
appeal the actions of the Planning Division or the Planning Commission
For individuals, an appeal must be accompanied by a $100 fee, but for
members of either the Planning Commission or City Council, appeal fees
are not required, but a letter stating the reasons for the appeal is
required within 14 days of the decision being appealed.
If any one has any questions on our current procedures, please feel
free to call.

STAFF REPORT Item: A-5
FOR: Planning Commission Meeting Date: 5/20/85
BY: Henry Engen, Planning Director File No: Planning Com.
Address: City-Wide
SUBJECT: Matters coming before the Planning Commission
The following is a summary of the matters that come to the Planning
Commission for either recommendation to the City Council or for final
action.
1. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS.
State law mandates the adoption of a seven-element
general .
It further requires that city actions on any land developmentlabe
consistent with the General Plan. Amendments are permitted to be
considered four times per year. The City has established a cycle
whereby privately-initiated general plan amendments are heard
twice a year. March 1 and October 1 are the application dead-
lines. Should the City Council or Planning Commission wish to
initiate general plan changes, this leaves two "slots" available
for the remainder of the year . Any action to amend the general
plan should be consistent with its goals.
General Plan amendments may take the form of either text changes,
map changes, or both. Final action on amendments is by the City
Council on recommendation from the Planning Commission after pub-
lic hearings before both bodies.
2. REZONINGS.
Amendments to the City' s zoning ordinance also require public
hearings before the Planning Commission and recommendations on to
the City Council. All rezoning actions require findings that they
are consistent with the General Plan. As with general plans, zon-
ing amendments may either take the form of text changes or map
changes. Text changes have to be authorized for processing by the
Council before they may proceed to a public hearing.
3 . ZONING APPROVALS.
The City Zoning Ordinance establishes procedures for a
entitlements that are summarized as follows : number of
a. Plot Plans : This is site plan review of plans for a build-
ing permit authorized by the ordinance done at staff level.
b. Precise Plan: These are projects that are also processed at
staff level which are required by the California Environmen-
tal Quality Act (CEQA) to have an "environmental determina-
tion. " This means that they are of a scale or nature which is
not exempt from CEQA. Precise plans, or their conditions of
approval, may -- be appealed to the Planning Commission
either the applicants or notified neighbors wish. if_
C. Conditional Use Permits: Conditional uses are _
jects which are allowed° within a zoning districtbut which,
by their nature or magnitude, could affect surrounding areas.
They are, therefore, delegated by the Zoning Ordinance to the
Planning Commission for decisions.

The attached Resolution No. 6-85 lists the various applications
processed by the planning department staff (excluding building
permits which are under a separate resolution). Again, any such
action (such as home occupations) that would normally be issued by
staff may be appealed to the planning commission. Further, road
abandonments, road name changes etc. require hearings before the
planning commission and city council before they can be finaled.
There are also a number of procedural requests that are normally
routine and for which fees have been established, e.g. time exten-
sions, reconsiderations, continuances, etc. There is also provi-
sion for a "planning commission interpretation" wherein individu-
als or staff may seek clarification of language in the general
plan or zoning ordinance.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERI,SINATIONS.
These are basic to virtually any entitlement in that mostjects•
require a finding that the project will not have a signroificant
adverse. . Q_ffect upon the environment ("negative declaration") or
that the environmental report prepared for the project is certi-
fied as complete, thereby paving the way for acting on the speci-
fic project.

MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Michael Shelton, City Manager
From: Paul M. Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject : Historic Structures Report
Date : August 18, 1987
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that council direct staff to request proposals
for the Historic Structures Report and to prepare a letter for
• council 's signature requesting that the Heating, Ventilating and Air
Conditioning be put to bid concurrently with the development of the
above study, and that the decision to go forward on the study itself
be based upon the cost of the same .
Background:
Plans and Specifications have been prepared for the Heating,
Ventilating and Air Conditioning for the City Administration
building. However, the Historic Preservation Office that administers
the grant received for renovation has decided to require a Historic
Structures report prior to bidding. Refer to the attached letters
from Marion Mitchell Wilson, Mark Moore and Paul Sensibaugh.
Discussion:
Staff has resisted OHP ' s efforts to require a study that was not
a condition of the grant and for which no monies are available . OHP,
however, is not backing off of the new requirement and is asking
council ' s desire regarding this issue and the implementation of the
remaining funds .
Unfortunately staff is faced with several unanswered questions :
How much will the study cost?
Can another grant be obtained to pay for the study?
What will the study tell us?
What affect will the study have on the HVAC design?
How long will the study delay the accepted project?
Options available to Council are : •
1) Complete the study at City cost .
2) Complete the study if a grant is obtained for the same .
3) Request proposals and review the cost prior to a decision.
4) Ignore the decision and bid the project at City expense , facing any
consequences.
5) Return the unused portion of the grant and proceed with City funds,
and ask for release from contract commitments of OHP future review.
b) Pay back all grant monies and proceed as in #5 above .
7) Request assistance from political allies at the state level to
reason with OHP.
Fiscal Impact :
The fiscal impact is unknown until the cost of the study is
determined. The study may cost $20, 000 and up. The construction
costs are expected to rise as time goes on and the scope could easily
change based on the outcome of the study. If the scope changes
additional engineering and construction costs will be realized.

Subject: Atascadero City Hall Rehabilitation
(Project No. . 619-84-HP-40-135)
Dear Marion:
In reference to your April 14 , 1987 letter, we would like to
clarify our understanding of the January 8 , 1987 on-site meeting.
It was our purpose when requesting a site visit of the Office of
Historic Preservation, to explain our intent in regard to the
mechanical system previously proposed and designed for the
Atascadero City Hall . We had communicated our proposal for the
installation of the hydronic piping to Mr. Tom Winter on several
occasions. Our understanding of OHP' s desires as explained by Mr.
Winter, was the hydronic piping should be limited to the existing,
vertical mechanical chases with horizontal runs excluded from the
central corridors. We attempted to explain that this solution
would necessitate added cutting and patching of existing walls and
plaster and substantially greater construction costs. It would
have also required the mechanical engineer to redesign the
hydronic system creating a substantial additional fee for both
design and revisions to the mechanical drawings .
We supplied photographs documenting the existing fire sprinkler
piping which already creates a visual intrusion and proposed three
alternatives for an economically efficient solution with minimal
visual impact. On November 19 , 1986 during a telephone
conversation with Mr. Winter, he indicated that our solution of
furring the flat ceiling at the first and second floor corridors
12" was acceptable provided that we used gypsum board rather than
lath and plaster. On December 18 , 1986 we requested an on-site
meeting with the Office of Historic Preservation. On December 23 ,
1986 , Mr. Winter stated he could not and would not give approval
on the bid documents. He deferred the decision to Marion
Mitchell-Wilson, and said that the decision was to be made
following her meeting in Atascadero.

May 27 , 1987
On January 8 , 1987 an on-site meeting was held with Marion
Mitchell-Wilson, Fred Schott, Mark Moore, Paul Sensibaugh, and Don
Lieb in attendance. Mrs. Mitchell-Wilson discussed the Office of
Historic Preservation policy in administration of bond funds ,
after which Paul Sensibaugh, City of Atascadero Director of Public
Works, presented the City' s intentions and overall goals. Mr.
Schott reviewed the progression of decisions leading to the design
of the mechanical system. Following the discussion, a brief tour
of the building was made. Recently completed Phase II B work was
viewed, in particular, the changes referred to in the September
10 , 1986 progress report. At the first and second floor
corridors, the three aforementioned alternatives, their inherent
problems and possible remedies, were discussed.
The tour ended in the first floor rotunda (now being used as a
museum) . Conversation turned toward the abundance of historic
memorabilia contained in the museum. Mrs. Mitchell-Wilson said
there were several sources of grants to finance historical studies
(Historic Structure Report) , i. e. documentation of building
changes from start of construction to the present. By compiling
this report Mrs. Mitchell-Wilson felt it would be easier in the
future to recieve funding for specific projects, i. e. relocation
of fire sprinkler piping.
It was our understanding the Historic Structure Report was a
document possibly necessary for future funding of specific
projects but would not effect work under the previously approved
grant. Had we realized this document was to become a requirement
to proceed with bid document approval , we would have immediately
clarified our position.
On August 19 , 1986 this office sent working drawings for Phase IIC
of the Atascadero City Hall Rehabilitation to the Office of
Historic Preservation for approval . On September 11 , 1986 ,
specifications and bidding documents followed. This office has
had numerous conversations and discussions with the Office of
Historic Preservation since August. It would seem that there was
ample opportunity to request, require, or discuss the need for a
Historic Structure Report. The first indication that this report
was to become a prerequisite for approval came during a telephone
conversation with Mrs. Mitchell-Wilson on February 11 , 1987 , six
months from our initial submission of Phase IIC documents , and one
year seven months from the beginning of the original performance
period (July 23 , 1985) .

Procedural Guide states "The Historic Structure Report is used
when the rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction of a
historic building involves fabricating significant missing
a-rchitectural- or landscape features, recapturing the appearance of
a property at one particular period of its history, or removing
later additions. " As our project falls into none of the
aforementioned categories, we could - not have been expected to
assume that an Historic Structure Report would be required. We do
not feel we are being unreasonable in requesting that this
requirement be applied to future phases of the work and that this
project be allowed to proceed without further delays.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us .
Thank you for your cooperation and continued interest in our
project.

Attention : Eugene Itogawa
Subject : Historic Preservation Grants
Dear Mr . Itogawa :
I am in receipt of your letter of April 29, 1987
regarding OHP' s anxiousness to provide for prompt closure
of existing grant projects . As you may know the City of
Atascadero has received an extension on our completion date
due to the size and complexity of our project .
Unfortunately we cannot expect to meet your goal when
OHP itself continues to slow our progress for matters that
are critical to our design . As you can see by the attached
letter from Ms . Wilson , OHP is now asking for a report in
the middle of our project that was clearly never
anticipated by the City . We have been trying to bid the
third of four phases of our project for 7-1/2 months
without success .
In short it is difficult to be efficient in our
management when OPH itself is blocking our path. With the
experience we have had it is unlikely that I could
recommend pursuing the additional grant to which you alude.
Thank you for your information and allowing me to
unload the City Council' s frustration with this project .
They are questioning their $270, 000 match to the $300, 000
grant received.
Very truly yours ,

funds during the first year cycle of the Historic Preservation Component of
the California Park and Recreational Facilities Act of 1984. First year grant
recipients were allocated funding starting with fiscal year July 1985.
This letter is sent to all first year grant recipients in the interest of
reminding all project managers of the importance of being aware of the grant
completion schedule. All first year grant recipients should have a fully
executed project agreement by this time. A valid project agreement must,
without fail , be in place by June 30, 1988. Only project recipients with
valid project agreements are eligible for financial compensation from the
State. Once the project agreement has been signed, advancement of 10% of the
State grant amount may be authorized to pay for planning cost expenses such as
preparation of Historic Structures Report and the architecture plans.
Reimbursement of expenses is allowable provided that the work is included in
the project work scope, has been identified in the architectural plan, and has
been completed during the project performance period.
First year grant projects must be completed before June 30, 1990. In some
cases , the existing project agreements with the State must be amended to
provide an extension of time if the work will not be completed within the
specified project performance period. Please evaluate your current work
schedule to determine if an extension of time will be necessary.
OHP has been advised that two separate legislations have been introduced in
March 1987 for a possible 1988 Park Bond program. Provisions for $20 million
for a historic preservation program are included in the language of both
Prospective legislations. OHP is anxious to provide for the prompt closure of
existing grant projects in anticipation of awarding future State grant funds
to project recipients demonstrating timely completion of successful
preservation projects.

Projects which have not demonstrated a significant degree of progress by
July 1987 shall be subject to program reevaluations. All first year project
files are currently under review to insure that projects are completed in a
timely manner.
Project managers are requested to examine their project planning and
development time frame and advise the OHP of potential project delays or
changes in schedule.
Please do not hesitate to contact this office, should you have any questions.

Dear Paul :
Atascadero City Hall Bond Act Grant Project
Please excuse the delay in my sending a written confirmation of our discussion of
January 8, during my on-site inspection. I have been in telephone contact with
the project architect, Mark Moore, and reaffirmed the issues which we discussed at
our meeting. 0
The Office of Historic Preservation administers the Historic Preservation
Component: California Park and Recreational Facilities Act of 1984 for the
purpose of preserving the most significant resources in the State of California.
The highly competitive and limited funds available under this program are
distributed for the purpose of assuring that the architectural and historical
integrity of these significant resources is preserved in perpetuity. These are
not "public works" grants, these funds should make the difference between a
standard public works project and a quality preservation project. They are to be
used in combination with local public funds already budgeted for the
rehabilitation of a civic building. The Atascadero City Hall project application
met these goals and therefore received the highest award possible under the
1984 Bond. It is for these reasons that we are committed to working with you to
design the most sympathetic preservation project possible.
We are aware that the City acquired the building from the County after they had
done some very intrusive work. However, to continue in the same incremental
fashion would not be in the best interest of the resource and will only acerbate
the mistakes which have already been made. Therefore, it would be inappropriate
for either the City or this office to initiate any further increment of work on
this important civic building without understanding the overview for the entire
preservation of the resource.
For these reasons, I recommended at our meeting and have reaffirmed to Mr. Moore
that a Historic Structures Report be compiled as soon as possible. An outline for
such a report is enclosed. The documentation for a fine report exists within
Mr. Paul M. Sensi baugh

the museum on the first floor of the buildings. Volunteer work in coordination
with the architectural work from Mr. Moore could develop a useful document that
would serve to guide the City Council , the architect, and this Office, and could
be developed into a sale publication for the museum as well . Based on the
Historic Structures Report, schematic drawings of the overall restoration of the
building for a multi-phased project for several years, if need be, could be
developed. Out of these selected working drawings for the increments of work for
which funds are available from a variety of sources, including the 1984 Bond,
should be developed as those funds become available. The first priority, from the
City's point of view, could be the mechanical system to make the building more
comfortable. The heating and mechanical systems, however, should not be installed
in an incremental fashion which might preclude the best and most economical design
solutions for the future.
We are aware of the City Council 's concern that they may have involved themselves
in a program which requires the expansion of the project scope beyond their
original intentions. However, the purpose of this grant program and its
requirements were clearly outlined in the grant application, procedural guide, and
project agreement. If, after reading this letter and understanding the goals and
objectives of the Office of Historic Preservation and the 1984 Bond Act, the City
Council chooses to withdraw from the rest of the program, the Office of Historic
Preservation will be happy to revise the scope of work in the project agreement
to that already completed. The City would be absolved from further obligation
upon return of the remaining money. Please understand, however, that by entering
into the contract agreement in the first place and having received funds from this
Office., you have committed to this Office's review in the future. We are
concerned that all work done on this property whether incremental or interrelated
be done according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards.
If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me at the above
number.
Sincerely,
Ms . Marion Mitchell L-Jilson

CITY OF ATASCADERO
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
PURPOSE
This Statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent
investment of the City's temporary idle cash, and outline the
policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City' s cash manage-
ment system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status
of the City while protecting its pooled cash.
OBJECTIVE
The City' s cash management system is designed to accurately monitor
and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to
invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to
obtain the highest yield obtainable as long as investments meet the
criteria established for safety and liquidity.
POLICY
The City of Atascadero operates its temporary pooled idle cash invest-
ments under the prudent man rule (Civil Code Sect. 2261,et.seq. ) * Th
affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as lon
le
as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current
legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600
et seq. )
Investments may be made in the following media:
Securities of the U.S. Government, or its agencies
- Small Business Administration Loans
- Certificates of Deposit (or Time Deposits) placed with commercial
banks and/or savings and loan companies
- Negotiable Certificates of Deposit
- Bankers Acceptances
- Commercial Paper
- Local Agency Investment Fund (State Pool) Demand Deposits
- Repurchase Agreements (Repos)
- Passbook Savings Account Demand Deposits
- Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
1. Safety. The safety and risk associated with an investment
refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a
combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those
investments that are considered very safe.
• •
2. Liquidity. This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any
moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of
principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment
quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occurs
occasionally.
3. Yield. Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment
can provide, and sometimes is described as the rate of return.
Safekeeping. Securities purchased from brokers/dealers shall be
held in third party safekeeping by the trust department of the local
agency' s bank or other designated third party trust, in local agency' s
name and control, whenever possible.
Investment Objective. The cash management system of the City of
Atascadero is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures
and revenues, thus insuring the investment of monies to the fullest
extent possible. Attempts to obtain highest interest yields possible
as long as investments meet the criteria required for safety and
liquidity are also part of this objective.
City Constraints. The City of Atascadero operates its pooled idle
cash investments under the Prudent Man Rule. This affords a broad
spectrum of investment opportunities so long as the investment is
deemed prudent and is permissible under currently effective
legislation of the State of California and other imposed legal
restrictions.
The City Treasurer may utilize brokers or investment advisors, as may
be required. Reasonable fees for such services may be paid by the
City or may be deducted from the net investment earnings realized.
The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all funds
as near 100% as possible, through daily and projected cash flow
determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions
are the responsibility of the City Treasurer .
The basic premise underlying the City' s investment philosophy is, and
will continue to be, to insure that money is always safe and available
when needed.
GERE W. SIBBACH
City Treasurer
CITY OF ATASCADERO
* The prudent man rule states, in essence, that "in investing . . .
property for the benefit of another , a trustee shall exercise the
judgment and care, under the circumstances then prevailing, which
men of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the manage-
ment of their own affairs . . . . "

MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Directors, ACSD
Through: Michael Shelton, City Manager
From: Paul M. Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject : Septic Tank Dump Site
Date : August 17, 1987
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board make no changes in the present
use, fee structure, or C. I .P. for the septic tank dump facility.
Backround:
• Mayor Norris received information at a recent meeting on
hazardous waste that the Atascadero Waste Water Treatment Plant was
the only septic tank dump site in San Luis Obispo County.
Consequently, staff was requested to give a report on the implications
of this fact with regard to serving businesses or property owners
outside the corporate limits and with respect to the sufficiency of
the fees presently charged.
Discussion:
Although the Atascadero WWTP is the only treatment facilty in the
county that currently accepts septic tank dumpage, there are several
septic tank dump sites using direct land application. Other disposal
sites are Nipomo, Los Osos, Chicago Grade, two sites east of Cayucos,
one above Cambria and others . Winter dumping is mostly handled at
Nipomo and Atascadero.
Unlike the AWWTP, most waste water treatment plants are not
lagoon systems which require a lot of land area to function. Systems
such as activated sludge cannot handle a huge concentration of waste
without pretreatment or a process to add the waste a slow rate . Grit,
oil and grease, and heavy concentrations of waste all have an adverse
affects on these systems.
To our knowledge the AWWTP is the only plant in the county that
was specifically designed to include a formal septic tank dump site .
EPA grant funds are normally given to treat wastes on a regional or
watershed basis and wastes must be accepted regardless of t
residence address of the effluent . Obvious exceptions of this gene
rule are that no hazardous wastes need to be accepted nor waste th
may upset the treatment process . Also distance from the site and
capacity are usually controlling factors on the amount of waste
received as well as the cost associated with the service .
EPA does encourage the governing body to set fees at a level that
will assure that the system is self supporting and does allow
different fees for service to areas outside the corporate limits . For
normal sewer service increased fees are usually justified due to the
investments made by those within the taxing boundary that have not
been shared by outsiders, as well as additional costs associated with
the distance traveled for maintenance and reserve capacity at the
plant . In the case of a septic tank dump added costs may be associated
with unknown or questionable wastes or for added maintenance or
operation above the normal level .
Connections to a sanitary sewer are easily monitored and inside
and outside rates are routinely collected. However, the mobile
business of septic tank pumping is not confined to a definite boundary
and outside businesses are not required to have a business license in
our city. The overall goal perhaps should be to provide a necessary
service to all and to assure that all users pay their own fair share
regardless of their origin.
Condition of Septic Tank Dump Facility: •
The septic tank dump facility has a questionable design and has
not performed well since the plant began full operation in 1984. The
suction line is often clogged due to the intake position and grit
settles in the sloped section near this line . A partial redesign or a
completely new design must occur this fiscal year to continue to
Provide the service intended. The construction costs could range from
$20, 000 to about $50, 000 dependent upon the scope of the project .
Presently steps have been taken to insure that the outlet line
can be combined into the Bordeaux House bypass line grinder (Muffin
Monster) prior to emptying into the aerated lagoon. This tactic will
increase the treatment efficiency for septic tank waste .
Fiscal Impact :
The present cost of dumping is $20 for a single load and $40 for
a double load. Revenue to date for this calendar year is $8, 200 .
Projected for 12 months it is estimated that about $13, 000 will be
generated from fees at the current rate . The previous three years,
using estimated loads and adjusted hourly rates, show costs at $14,700
and revenues at about $33, 000 . Therefore, approximately $18, 300 of
the C. I .P. fund can be attributable to the septic tank dump . However,
the total cost of replacement could be up to $50, 000 .
Analyzing the above over the next ten (10) years :
Operation Costs : ($17.75/hr.x 850 loads, 1/2hr./load,
plus 10% admin. ) $ 8,300/yr,
Maintenance Costs : 2, 000/yr.
Debt Service : ($50, 000 @ 10%) 8, 150/yr.
Total Costs: $18,450/yr.
($18,450 x 10yrs . ) $184,500
Revenues : (850 loads x$20/load) $17, 000/yr.
($17,000 x 10yrs . )=$170,000
Plus net gained 1st 3yrs .=$18,300
Total Revenues:
($170, 000+18,300) $188,300
Net Result : $3,800 gained over 10 years
Conclusion:
Therefore, it appears that the current fee of $20 per load dumped
is adequate to pay for operation, maintenance and replacement of the
subject facility. Obviously the above is based upon several
assumptions and should be monitored annually to make sure that once
the facility is renovated or replaced the fee rate will continue to
keep up with associated costs .
