PUBLIC COMMENT
The following members of the public spoke during public comment: Sam Bogdanovich
and Donna Halliday. The applicants gave a presentation on the project and stated they
have tried to contact Rabobank for an access driveway but have not received a response.
Chairperson Fonzi closed the Public Comment period.
The Committee recommended the following items
in red be addressed:
1. Variance Request. (The Committee would prefer to have the building at the front
of the property, but is willing to allow the building in the back if there are no other
design options. The site has never had an access driveway through Rabobank,
but if they could get through Rabobank’s parking lot, it might allow for more options.
The Committee recommends that the applicant approach Rabobank one more
time to see if this is feasible.)
2. Parking. (The Committee asked the applicant to provide alternatives for loading
zones. This might include eliminating bulb outs and shortening the landscape strip,
and taking into consideration the trees, so that patrons aren’t running into tree
trunks when parking their cars.)
3. Site Design. (The Committee asked the applicant to confirm the width for the U-
turn onto the southbound freeway onramp with Caltrans. Staff can assist with this.)
4. Building Aesthetic. (The Committee asked the applicant to work with staff and bring
back more detail and articulation of the building without adding additional cost to
the applicant. This might include colors, trellis, signage, monument signage,
wayfinding signage, landscaping/adding green, and adding a cross trellis with a
plant as opposed to brick/wood. The Committee would like to see ideas that would
make the building more attractive, because this could be an attractive gateway
building to the City.)
5. Landscaping by Rabobank. (There are four trees shown on the site plan. The
Committee and applicant agreed to remove one tree closest to El Camino Real so
that it doesn’t block Rabobank’s sign. The applicant will keep three trees. The
Committee suggested putting in attractive low-lying landscape to cover the fence
line.)
6. ATM. (Senior Planner Gleason stated the applicant is allowed to have an ATM as
this is an allowed use. The applicant stated he intends to keep it. The Committee
can look at aesthetics.)
There was Committee consensus to bring the project back
to the Design Review Committee for further review.

3. PLN 2017-1632, DESIGN REVIEW OF MULTIPLE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
(GREENHOUSES)
Senior Planner Gleason gave the staff report, and she and Community Development
Director answered questions from the Committee. Community Development Director
Dunsmore stated that staff is asking for feedback on this project before it goes to Planning
Commission because the development of multiple large greenhouses are not typical in a
residential zone. The DRC should look at aesthetics and neighborhood compatibility. The
Planning Commission will be addressing how many structures will be allowed. The
neighborhood did receive notice about this meeting.
PUBLIC COMMENT
The following members of the public spoke during public comment: Gregory Baker.
Gregory Baker gave a presentation on his project, and answered questions from the
Committee.
Chairperson Fonzi closed the Public Comment period.
COMMITTEE DELIBERATIONS
Committee discussed the following items:
Challenges of allowing a higher fence to screen the structures, but having a sight-
distance issue on Palomar Ave.
Allowing the right to farm; is this the right location?
Farming in the creek setback, (is a Biologist Report needed?)
Definitions of a greenhouse (hoop structures vs. greenhouse vs. permanent
structures vs. raised flower beds.) Planning staff may need to redefine these terms.

Chairperson Fonzi stated that a Conditional Use Permit could potentially ask
permission for growing marijuana in the future, and this topic has not been covered
by the City Council yet. It will be covered in the future on what is allowed/not
allowed. Chairperson Fonzi asked staff to include a condition in the Staff Report to
Planning Commission that marijuana would be prohibited from growing in any of
these structures if they are allowed. We need to be careful about the definition of
green house in the future.
Applicant Baker addressed the Committee and said he has no intention of growing
marijuana, and as the greenhouses are set up now, he is growing vegetables.
The Committee made the following recommendations
(in red) for Planning Commission consideration:
1. Allowance for multiple accessory structures. (The Committee declined to make a
recommendation to the Planning Commission on the number of structures, but
recommends that if the structures are allowed to remain, they should be screened.
Need to consider the compatibility of this commercial operation in a residential
neighborhood.)
2. Creek Setback. (The Committee would like the applicant to move the greenhouse
out of the creek setback if he is allowed to expand.)
3. Exception to minimum setback between accessory structures. (The Committee
agreed that the Building Code will govern appropriate separation between
structures.)
4. Fencing / creek setback exception. (The Committee agreed to allow the applicant
to build a transparent fence at least 10’ from the property line and add ed a
condition that sight distance should be analyzed and addressed. Applicant will
work with staff on landscaping near the fence. No fencing should be added that
will cause a sight distance safety issue.
There was Committee consensus to move the project on to
the Planning Commission.

Memorandum
Date: June 8, 2017
To: Design Review Committee Members
From: Kelly Gleason, Senior Planner
Subject: Additional Project Information, PLN 2017-1638
DRC Committee Members,
At the May 24, 2017 DRC meeting, additional information was requested for the new
commercial development located at the corner of El Camino Real and Highway 41. A
summary of the additional information is provided below. The original staff report is
attached for your review.
1. Contact Rabobank and explore alternative site designs that incorporate
shared access between the two properties.
Staff has been in contact with Rabobank representatives. They agreed to review
options for shared site access if a suitable site plan could be developed , providing
that their site operations were not disrupted or safety issues were not created at
their drive-through location. Staff and the applicant came up with three conceptual
site layouts that incorporated shared access.
Alternative #1 placed the building at
the rear of the site adjacent to
Highway 101. Under this scenario,
access to the site from Highway 41
would be abandoned. The site access
from El Camino Real would remain.
While this scenario abates a traffic
concern and includes shared access
with the Rabobank site, this proposal
would create a large expanse of
parking along El Camino Real and
does not provide a gateway element

supported by the Downtown Revitalization Plan. Up to 18 parking spaces could be
provided.
Alternative #2 placed the building
along the Highway 41 frontage.
Under this scenario the Highway 41
access would be abandoned and the
El Camino Real access would
remain. Shared access would be
incorporated with the parking lot
located between the new commercial
building and the Rabobank site. The
commercial tenant spaces would
front the parking lot with the back of
the building along Highway 41. This
scenario would require extensive
architectural treatments and articulation along the rear of the building to provide
an aesthetically appropriate building façade fronting Highway 41. Up to 24 parking
spaces could be provided.
Alternative #3 placed the building
along the El Camino Real frontage.
Under this scenario the El Camino
Real access would be abandoned
and the Highway 41 access would
remain. Shared access would be
incorporated with the parking lot
located between the new
commercial building and the
Rabobank site. The commercial
tenant spaces would front the
parking lot with the back of the
building along El Camino Real. This scenario would require extensive
architectural treatments and articulation along the rear of the building to provide
an aesthetically appropriate building façade fronting El Camino Real. Up to 15
parking spaces could be provided.
The applicant shared a number of site design considerations that affect the
proposed development plan.
Access from El Camino Real is critical for site marketing and obtaining
lease agreements.

Site development at this location has a number of added costs that make
extensive building design and material features infeasible. Costs include
potential soil remediation should contamination from the previous fuel
station development be present.
2. Provide additional architectural renderings that depict proposed form,
massing, materials, and colors.
The applicant has submitted 3-D architectural renderings for committee review, as
attached.

DISCUSSION:
Project History
The subject project site formerly accommodated a fuel station and is now vacant. The
fuel station was purchased and abandoned as part of the Highway 41/ECR Caltrans
improvements completed in 2010.
In 2005, the City Council adopted a Downtown Revitalization Plan Vision that identifies
opportunities and constraints regarding the revitalization of the downtown area. The
Downtown Revitalization Plan Vision identifies the intersection of El Camino Real and
Morro Rd as a gateway to the Downtown core. The subject property is the only
remaining vacant pad at this key gateway intersection.
Project Description / Summary
The applicant is proposing an approximately 3,500 square foot building that can
accommodate 2 tenant spaces. At least one of the spaces is proposed to accommodate
a new restaurant. 24 parking spaces are accommodated on the site and the applicant
has incorporated a number of site improvements aimed at enhancing the intersection
appearance and connectivity to pedestrian facilities. The project site is approximately
0.4 acres in size and measures approximately 104 feet by 170 feet. The project includes
12
ITEM 2
Morro Rd/ECR Commercial
PLN 2017-1638 / Bogdanovich
Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
a variance request to allow the building to be setback from the sidewalk, as discussed
below.
Analysis
1. Variance request
The Atascadero Municipal Code requires a zero-foot setback from the street
frontage within the downtown zone. This is to encourage a pedestrian oriented
streetscape that is not dominated by cars and parking areas. The applicant is
requesting a variance to this requirement due to the unusual circumstances of
this unique corner site. Based on the limited site access, limited parking options,
and the high volume of circulation at this corner, the applicant is requesting to
place the building at the rear property line of the site.
The following characteristics may support a variance:
a. The subject site is located at the boundary of the downtown zone and is
bordered by two large, high traffic arterial roads which reduce the
opportunity to create the pedestrian scale desired in other portions of
downtown.
b. Driveway access to the site is limited by both the City and Caltrans
thereby limiting areas of the site where a building and parking areas can
reasonably be accommodated.
c. The small size of the site limits project layout options that provide for safe
access, adequate parking, and viable building configurations.
2. Site design
The applicant has designed the site to accommodate an approximately 3,500
square-foot building with 2 proposed tenant spaces and 24 parking spaces. In
order to support the ECR/Morro Rd corner as a gateway feature, the applicant
has eliminated parking spaces in this location and has included enhanced
landscaping and a pedestrian path from the sidewalk. Both the El Camino Real
and Morro Rd frontage will include downtown streetscape elements such as
street trees planted at the back of sidewalk and downtown streetlights. The
planter strip along both frontages has been widened to the extent feasible to
allow for additional landscaping and a viable street tree planter width. A
pedestrian connection is also included from El Camino Real to the east end of
the site that leads to a patio space for a future restaurant tenant.
A freestanding ATM kiosk is also proposed within the site adjacent to the El
Camino Real frontage. The applicant is proposing to design this structure
consistent with the materials and style proposed for the commercial building.

Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
The trash enclosure is located against the Highway 101 frontage adjacent to the
location that was the former HWY on-ramp. This area is concealed from the
highway by heavily landscape and slope and will not be visible from Highway
101. Approximately 15 feet of landscape area has been included between the
Morro Rd frontage and the trash enclosure to provide for screening. Bike parking
is provided directly off El Camino Real and in front of the building on the parking
lot side.
The site access points have been reviewed and approved by the engineering
department. While no physical barriers are required, both of these driveways will
be limited to right-in/right-out movements based on the design of the adjacent
street improvements.
3. Building aesthetic
The applicant is proposing a contemporary building form that includes the
following design components:
a. Materials: The applicant is proposing a combination of rustic wood siding
and smooth stucco and brick accents to create a prominent visual
statement at the downtown gateway. This will provide enhanced texture
and incorporate more traditional materials in the contemporary design
theme. Modern flat metal awnings with cable supports are proposed
above the tenant entryways, a feature that is also included in the La Plaza
project across from Sunken Gardens.
b. Articulation and massing: The proposed building includes two higher
elements at either end with a lower element at the center. This lower
element is also recessed from the parking lot façade. The higher elements
will include a rustic wood siding and the center element will include
smooth stucco as a contrast to the wood material. A trellis element is
included in the center recess providing greenery as a layering element
against the façade and create a pedestrian scale adjacent to the bike
parking area. The proposed building is located at a zero-foot setback from
the adjacent Rabobank site. This façade is proposed to be smooth stucco.
