Graves Creek Project Gary Sims, Senior Civil Engineer , gave lengthy staff report explaining the present conflicts. He read portions of an independent survey performed by Volbrecht Surveys on December 12, 1989 and stated that there has always been a question of `P what is the potential runoff impact of the Dovica Tract Subdivision. He concluded that Paul Sensibaugh ' s original analysis during the Dovica Tract review period was correct and that the runoff implications resulting from that tract are minuscule. F Mr. Sims proposed that once the Record of Survey has been filed and the Berrys have been provided with such , if they disagree with it , they would be entitled to thirty days to have another surveyor file an Opposing Record of Survey. He suggested that ¥ at that time Staff meet with the Berrys to identify and negotiate a suitable project . Mr . Sims defined "water course" and substantiated the area as 9 ;y { such. He answered additional Council questions regarding proposed runoff from new developments and stated that he did not believe the runoff from the Dovica Tract was surface water . He further reported that the Engineering Department ' s drainage and survey calculations are public information and invited the Berrys to come in and review and discuss them with Staff. Mayor Dexter directed the question of City liability to the City Attorney who advised that the liability would be based upon the amount of damage caused by any diverted water. He further explained that , given the calculations of today, there is little chance of liability. Public Comment: James Berry, 6955 Balboa, asked the Council to address the "real issue" which he described as excess water caused by development flowing through his property. He disagreed that his property was in a water course and strongly objected to runoff from new developments declaring that this is illegal . He further remarked that he would not accept Volbrecht ' s survey and asked to be granted time to have a re-survey completed . Mayor Dexter urged Staff to continue to do all that they can to negotiate with the Berrys and arrive at a satisfactory conclusion to the problem. B. Resident Petition re: Alegre Avenue Mr . Sims gave his staff report indicating that the developer ' s drainage plan was never submitted for review and that this oversight was not caught . Attempts to convince the developer and the design engineer to mitigate the existing situation failed because of the fact that their map had been signed off. Henry Engen asked Council to refer to Staff to more fully evaluate alternatives and make cost estimates. Lengthy Council discussion followed regarding the drainage issues of the City, the need for a Comprehensive Drainage Plan and the City ' s responsibility to ensure conditions of approval . 3. DOWNTOWN STREET LIGHTING PROJECT (Councilman Lilley) Councilman Lilley reported that he had met with Dave Vega, Area Manager for PG&E ' s North County Customer Center , in an effort to revamp existing lighting around City Hall .

Mr. Vega, an 11-year- resident of Atascadero and representing PG&E, addressed the Council and announced that he would be happy to work with the City on the proposed project. Discussion followed with supportive comments from the Council . The City Manager suggested starting a fund for the downtown revitalization program to help account for monies spent.

Planner Engen's reply was, "7I just discovered an EIR I said, "Please may I see it?" He said he would not be there, but that he would leave the EIR with a note addressed to me in the office. My immediate reaction to Mr. Engen's "discovery of an EIR" was: I. Why hadn't Gordon Davis, or Bill Barnes, offered the EIR in August, when without City permits for bulldozing, Mr. Sensebaugh stopped the work of grading the paper road on the steep slopes of that "high risk" hill? 2. Why was that EIR belately discovered in December, three full months later, and after the City Council ordering of an EIR? On FSriday, December 8, with three neighbors adjoining that area, I was given this 1979 DRAFT EIR, prepared by a San Luis Obispo firm, which is no longer listed in the telephone directory. The applicant is Gordon T. Davis. Four copies were made of that EIR for $37 dollars and not $38.00 for just one copy, as offered at City Hall: On Mondat the 11th, I telephoned the Sacramento Office of California Department of Real Estate, because the Title Pave states that the EIR was prepared for them. Two Sections of that Department told me that the EIR was"not handled by them"-.- I hem"-.-I next contacted a specialist on EIR's and his simple analysis was : That as a DRAFT EIR it would have been obsolete after two years. That copy Mr. Engen gave me was dated January 1979 My question to you: Why would our City Chief Planner present me with an obsolete, ten year old DRAFT EIR (DEIR) as a Final Environmental Impact Report? WHY WAS T14IS DECEITFUL TRICK FOISTED ON ME, A CONCERNED CITIZEN? 2 On Sunday, December 10th, a younaz workman was on the slope above our home, beside his truck taking sampled out of the big hole in the around. Amazed, I asked him, "Why are you working on Sunday?" He answered,"Oh: We have to fret this in by Monday." I wondered why the rush? When I went to the City Hall today, I asked to see the permits for any building; on the paper road of Ardilla. I was told that it would take time for the girl to find them. When I asked,"Don't you have a list of very recent permits?" I was told, "No. It would take time to find them." My question to you our City Council is: What kind of store are you running? Fake EIR"s and the inability to locate permits as recent as one day? Memory can do that much! I wish this statement of questions and answers to be placed on the next Agendas for the Planning Commission and the City Council. Than Yo/u�, � �G G (CGUL p Gail Lee MudWe t r December 12, 1989 • ADDENDUM TO THE GLM STATEMENT TO THE ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL, Or DECEMBER l@th. Ladies and Gentlemen: *`a Tonight at 5PM Lee the Secretary to this City Council, phoned to say she could t not find any reference to an EIR for the seismic hill above, south and north of my home, I thank Lee for her diligent search. I still honestly believe that such a^City Council order was given. I certainly can be wrong, and for that I apologize. However, when I protested to Mr. Engen on the December 7th, saying I could not understand why the building samples when the EIR had. been ordered. Mr. Engen did not correct that protest. He said, "I just discovered an EIR.". 3 Nor do I withdraw my strong outrage at being given a ten year old obsolete DRAFT Report in order to facilitate building on those seismic foothills. That fact still stands! I also repeat, , wish to be on the agendas of the Planning Commission and the • City Council�wttt -that deceitful, tricking 1979 EIR. ;G� =r MEETING DATE : 12/19/89 ITEM: A-2 MINUTES JOINT MEETING MIMI! AGENM ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING COMMISSION L7ATE.,-1 9--�9� STEM$ A-2 ` Tuesday, November 21, 1989 7 :00 p.m. (CITY COUNCIL) Atascadero Administration Building The joint meeting of the Atascadero City Council and Planning Commission was called to order at 7 : 00 p.m. by Mayor Dexter followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. ROLL CALL e Present: Councilpersons Mackey, Shiers, Borgeson, Lilley (arrived 8 : 15 p.m. ) , Mayor Dexter and Planning Commissioners Lopez-Balbontin, Luna, Highland, Waage, Brasher, Hanauer, and Chairperson Lochridge Staff Present: Ray Windsor, City Manages; Henry Engen, Community Development Director; Gary Sims, Senior Civil Engineer, Steve DeCamp, City Planner; Pat Shepphard, Administrative Secretary I • Mayor Dexter announced that Councilperson Lilley would be late for the meeting. Chairperson Lochridge stated no action would be taken on the Consent Calendar as the minutes were not ready for consideration at this time. He then handed the gavel to Mayor Dexter. PUBLIC COMMENT Gail Mudgett, Ardilla Road resident, inquired why the agenda was not posted in the library and asked if this meeting was legal . Mayor Dexter clarified that this meeting is not a public hearing but a study session between the Council and Commission. Noticing the meeting in the newspaper was not required in this case. Councilperson Borgeson apologized for the inadequate noticing adding that policy direction has been for staff to notice meetings in the library and newspaper as well as other public posting places . Discussion followed. Steve LaSalle, area resident, referenced the previous General Plan quadrant meetings in which there was public input. He felt that any meeting which reflects the General Plan update should be a public meeting. r�` Dolores Berry, 6955 Balboa Road, read the attached statement „=s asking for assurances that the General Plan provisions remain • unchanged. ' s PAGE TWO Dorothy _ _ _ , e is • McNeil stated that Atdscadero s average growth rat 3 .81; and expressed concern with the development of 10, 000 acres in western Atascadero stating that there are no lands for parks, fire station, etc. and the tax payers will end up footing the bill since the developers will not. Mrs . McNeil addressed the cumulative impacts of development on the area voicing concern of piecemeal development. An E.I .R. for this area versus one lot development should be required. Bill Barnes, area resident, disputed Mrs. McNeil ' s statement relative to developing 10,000 acres stating his property that is currently being developed is only 370 acres . John McNeil voiced that Mr. Barnes' development is small but :.41 there are other developments involved with this general area. He commented on abuses of the General Plan which is occurring and CEQA requirements which are not being adhered to. Mrs . Barnes questioned references to the propriety of Mr. Barnes' activities. At this point, Mayor Dexter closed the Public Comment portion of the meeting. T Y B. STUDY SESSION 1. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE STATUS (verbal) a. Land Use Element b. - Open Space Element C. Conservation Element x d. Circulation element e. Housing Element f. Noise Element ; g. Safety ( including seismic) Element h. Parks and Recreation Element Henry Engen reported on the General Plan update status and spoke about the state mandated elements. The General Plan Subcommittee has been going over sketch plans of maps and text. No new annexations are proposed except for public lands (Heilmann Park, Paloma Park, etc . ) . There are no increases in residential densities. A restructuring of E1 Camino Real and Morro Road is being worked on to make these areas more identifiable and more viable. Mr. Engen stated he hopes that the draft plan will be forwarded to the subcommittee in December prior to taking it to public hearing. With regard to the Housing Element, an update is required .. I every five years. The State took issue with Atascadero' s large lots ..:-F�c ,' .-atw .. .;'.T.«: .x14aP� i� .. £.�4�3ar.d'-: F,'', .s .,a• �'4� ., Q i, � +R PAGE THREE Mr. Engen stated that a consultant is in the process of being selected to develop a noise element for the county and its individual cities which needs updating for clearer policies, etc. Requests for proposals will be obtained for a consultant to work with the City and County on a joint basis in developing a viable safety (including seismic) element. Council and Commission questions and discussion followed. 'There was discussion on making the General Plan draft available prior to public hearing. Commissioner Highland commented that we are encountering the same problem as in the 70 ' s with getting consistency between the land use element and the housing element as the state is pushing for smaller lots. Discussion followed relative to affordable housing alternatives to apartments such as condominiums, mobile homes, planned unit developments, feasibility of 10,000 square foot lots in multi-family Zoning, etc. 8: 15 p.m. - Councilperson Lilley is now present. The Commission and Council also discussed planned unit developments with regard to the need for guidelines, open space areas for play area, as well as the regulatory opportunities and amenities that can be required for a p.u.d. as opposed to apartment housing. Councilperson Borgeson referenced an earlier report submitted by Eric Michielssen which gave a comprehensive description of what exactly a p.u.d. concept is . Wendy Stockton (representing City Attorney Art Montandan) suggested this issue be placed on a future agenda. Public Comment: Dolores Berry asked if drainage is doing to be included within the Safety Element. Councilperson Borgeson referenced the Government Code relative to the Safety Element and how it ties in with drainage. Discussion followed. 2 . OTHER PLANNING STUDIES a. Interim Growth Management Committee b. Downtown Master Plan (verbal) C . Fire Services Master Plan (verbal ) d. Fiscal Planning Model PAGE FOUR Mr. Engen reported on the Interim Growth Management Committee and referenced a resolution which was submitted to the County. He noted that the City has requested input to the County regarding this issue. Quarterly reports will be prepared to monitor growth in Atascadero. Councilmember Shiers (member of the interim growth management committee) , commented on the growth issues adding that the best protection against growth is in the General Plan and its policies . Commissioner Lilley (also a committee member) added that growth needs to be monitored and provided an update on the committee' s findings. Commissioner Hanauer referenced the County statistics contained in Mr. Engen' s staff report stating there has been a steady incline in growth since 1985 . Mr. Engen added that approximately 140 single family residences are constructed each year. Discussion continued. With regard to the Downtown Master Plan, Mr. Engen presented a report on the status of this plan noting that the consultant should have the final report completed some time in January. In addressing the Fire Services Master Plan, Mr. Engen ` explained that a meeting had been held earlier today to select a proposal . Work on this is expected to be completed in March, 1990 . Ray Windsor referenced memorandums contained in the agenda packet which explain the need for a fiscal planning model which would tie together with the General Plan and address issues that have been raised this evening. Discussion followed. a� 3. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE ISSUES a. CEQA 10% slopes, new roads, etc. b. Drainage master plan Mr. Engen explained the state-mandated requirement for requiring precise plans (environmental review) for grading on slopes over 10 and the effect this requirement will have. In discussing the master road agreement, Mr. Engen stated this agreement was first utilized before city incorporation and added that steps are being taken to assure that these ' roads are constructed in compliance with CEQA guidelines . Mr. Engen commented that the development review committee process has been reinstituted wherein representatives from the various affected city departments review proposed developments. ,_:.ra.sxr .w� _ ., = r4-,s,. ..=:; . ,. o ., „ ,kva.'��;.,r..c.-„>,.`oC.w.a.,3-�#aaau.."•:e.':�.Fx.�.w.,�.'�..,r.,.+M an�awe, �.=,� {,a PAGE FIVE Councilperson Borgeson commented on the EIR and CEOA process and cautioned that care be taken that a Negative Declaration determination is justified. There was further discussion relative to the Dovica tract map which was approved in 1982 and how subsequent adoption of the City' s zoning ordinance and CEQA guidelines would now have a significant effect on development standards and environmental guidelines for that subdivision today. Discussion also followed involving bonding versus putting in the required improvements for a subdivision. Past practice b allowing guarantees has been shifted to a policy of normally requiring installation of improvements . ; Discussion also centered around building on slopes over 30%, problems that the performance standards encounter in determining lot size criteria, the fact that lots which have not been developed are becoming steeper and steeper. Eric Michielssen stated that bonding for improvements can be an effective wav to insure that the conditions are satisfied. It is up to the City to call in the bonds if an applicant does not comply. In response to question, Mr. Engen stated that an EIR had been prepared in 1979 for the Long Valley Ranch area which focused on geology and seismic considerations . Commissioner Luna asked what type of environmental review the General Plan update will undergo. Councilperson Lilley stated that a draft General Plan is needed in order to discuss whether an EIR is warranted. Discussion continued. Joan O' Keefe stated that the cumulative effects of lot splits need to be specifically addressed in the Genral Plan. Commissioner Brasher concurred stating she is uncomfortable with voting on individual lot splits . This was further discussion concerning the appropriateness of a focused EIR for the General Plan. Gary Sims, Senior Civil Engineer, provided an overview of drainage problems . A master plan would be too broad and not feasible; there are a few subdrainage areas which would merit a drainage plan but those areas have not been the ones that have created this present controversy. Swales are there to protect the roads; policy is to have the drainage run under the streets . Most of the drainage problems are contained in the urban core; urban storm drain systems are very expensive and in many areas of town it will not be economically feasible. The property owners should be aware of potential drainage problems when they purchase property PAGE SIX Commissioner Highland provided a historic background on the drainage plan that was needed. The General Plan calls for urban drainage within the Urban Service Line and not in the suburban residential areas. Mr. Sims added that the only feasible plan may be that of maintenance. The Public Works Department has drainage concerns and are constantly trying to keep the City' s drainage ways clean. People fill up the swales thereby 4 clogging City culverts. .Tames Berry commented on Mr. Sims' comments and showed an aerial photo which depicts where the drainage from over 300 acres drains down to his property. The citizens deserve better than this and he would be thankful for any problems ' which can be alleviated. ; x Mayor Dexter remarked that the City will work with the Berrys to try and resolve their concerns. Councilwoman Borgeson stated that problems are being fixed on a piecemeal basis . The City Council can set parameters on what can be spent. A comprehensive plan is needed with priorities being set. These problems will not go away unless a comprehensive plan can be designed to identify current and future problems. Mr. Engen stated that the land use element is the first draft of the General Plan update which will be reviewed. Commissioner Luna voiced that the rules have not been played . by and a focused EIR is needed. Councilperson Shiers added that because procedures have not be followed in the past, problems are now occurring. Councilperson Lilley commented on the rural lifestyle the g citizens of Atascadero desire; responsibility needs to be taken. Sometimes people have built too close to a drainage Swale. Limits need to be set as to what the City does . Commissioner Hanauer suggested that sections of plans could be integrated into a comprehensive plan. Fred Frank stated he did not move next to the Dovica subdivision and added that Public Works is headed in the right direction in trying to mitigate the drainage problems . John Madrid said he would provide the City staff with some positive proposals. ' 0 Mayor Dexter expressed his appreciation to the Council and ,M Commission for this study session.

JOSEPH Administrative rvices Director rv�w, REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: A-5 Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager Meeting Date: 1/9/90 t - From: Mark Joseph, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Ratification of Revised Agreement for Central Coast Cities Self-Insurance Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution ratifying the revised Joint Powers Agreement . (Res. #1-90) BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The attached memo from Fred S. James & Co . highlights the significant changes. The new structure streamlines what is a fairly routine yet technical process. Any major program changes (such as the provision of new insurance coverage) would be brought back to Council for review. .. The proposed By-Laws have also been attached , although they • are not for Council adoption. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . Decline adoption of the new JPA. The City of Atascadero would then have to drop out of the Fund and find a new, and most likely more expensive, source of insurance. 2. Amend the proposed JPA. This would prolong the adoption process, since all the other member Cities would also have to agree with the changes. The JPA ' s Board of Directors (which has representatives from all member Cities, including Atascadero ) recommended adoption at its October 4, 1989 meeting . FISCAL IMPACT: No significant fiscal impact is expected. s Xyi ' Janws FRED.S.JAMES&CO.OF CALIFORNIA P.O.Box 7601 San Francisco,CA 94120-7601 415983-5600 V ED SEP 1989 TO: Board of Directors CITY DATE: September 1, 1989 Central Coast Cities Self Insurance and FROM: Dale McPherson RE: Proposed Revision of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement and the Creation of Bylaws Earlier this year we recommended that the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement be recreated to more adequately reflect the operation of the Central Coast.Cities Self Insurance Fund. In addition, it was recommended that Bylaws be developed to provide for written operating policy and procedure. A draft of both documents was submitted to Mr. Roger Picquet, of Lyon and Picquet for review and suggestions from a legal standpoint. Mr. Picquet's recommendations were then reviewed by Gary Napper, Past President; Jerry Bankston, President; Bob Livingston, Vice President; and Bill Statler, Treasurer. • Attached are the recommended documents being proposed for adoption by the member cities. In effect, we are starting over with a new JPA Agreement rather than amending the existing document. The new documents will not become effective until all current members adopt them b p y Council action. Many of the changes are cosmetic in nature. The basic concepts of the Programs are the same. The governing structure has been modified to facilitate day-to-day - day operations. The major changes are summarized as follows: • Bylaws have been created. Bylaws will allow more flexibility as they may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors. • An Executive Committee has been created and is composed of the Immediate Past President, President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer. The SecretaryfTreasurer is a non-voting member. The Executive Committee shall oversee day-to-day operation of the Authority with whatever powers are provided by the Board. • The President is granted more authority. T Z50740/N.W3.1 FAX: 415/398-1841 Insurance Brokers Since 1858 Telex: 820236 CCCSIF Board of Directors September 1, 1989 Page Two • The positions of Secretary and Treasurer have been combined. • The terms of office are for one year. Currently there is no set term of office. • The terms of office will be on a calendar year basis, rather than on a fiscal year basis. • The current JPA Agreement contains a section on an Employee Benefits plan which is no longer in existence. The new Agreement does not address specific programs; provisions of specific programs are covered in the Bylaws which can be changed by the Board of Directors whenever appropriate. At the October 4, 1989 Board of Directors meeting, it will be recommended that the Board of Directors approve the documents for submittal to their City Councils for adoption and signature.

(Res. No. 2-90) BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The Federal Surplus Property Program allows the City to purchase surplus Federal property at little or no cost. Although the City has not needed to take advantage of the program recently, there is no cost associated with eligibility. The- only conditions on the program are that the items acquired be • used for public purposes and that they be returned to the State ( the entity administering the program in California) if and when the City no longer has need of the items. This second condition is waived if the item has been in use for over 12-18 months. The terms and. conditions are attached to this report . ALTERNATIVES- I . Decline to renew eligibility. This would preclude the City from participating in the program. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no negative impact . Depending upon the = City ' s needs and the discounted cost of items purchased through the program, there should be a savings for the City in the long run. .. .�" :i. `` „dr k +'''e. s• s,. .+-,' Ex "V �,a' n.xs ` ''24s ,YkR STATE OF CALIFORNIA—STATE AND CONSUMER SERVICES AGENCY GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council adopt the attached Resolution claiming TDA funds for the Dial-A-Ride and Street Overlay Programs. (Res. No. 3-90) 4 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: One quarter of one percent of the State Sales And Use Tax is allocated for local transportation efforts, - such as the Dial-A-Ride (DAR) Program. Each year, the S.L.O. Area Coordinating Council (SLOACC) allocates each City ' s share for public transportation and/or miscellaneous construction projects, such as our Street Overlay Program. This year ' s total allocation is $454,423. Of that amount , $60,020 is reserved to finance the SLOACC ' s planning and administrative efforts. . The remaining $394,403 will be allocated towards the street overlay program. Nothing is allocated for DAR because that program has accumulated a high cash balance. Next year roughly sixty percent of the City ' s claim will be applied to the DAR program. FISCAL IMPACT: The City anticipated receiving $407,288 for City use, $12,885 more than actual . The Dial-A-Ride fund can absorb the difference with no adverse impact . -„i x- -#z.... w..�� � ��ma&,xa? ...-6�,�.y:.*.�. a.-.. s.y„aid. aF+b&S7K�»,�,...•,• �iwknaak&w.;,a�r§3:. .mhvcE�W+,k,.” , � i R - RESOLUTION NO. 3 90 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF A CLAIM FOR LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS AND STATE TRANSIT ASSISTANCE FUNDS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT r WHEREAS, Article 4 and 8 of Chapter 4 of the Public Utilities Code requires claims for operating funds` to be filed *` with the transportation planning agency by local transportation operators; and WHEREAS, the City of Atascadero is eligible for transportation funds as provided in Chapter 4 of the Public Utilities Code; and WHEREAS, the San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating Council is the designated transportation planning agency for San Luis Obispo County.

The subject property is designated on the General Plan map "Suburban Single Family" . The property's zoning designation is "RS" (Residential Suburban) as shown on the Zoning Map. The minimum lot size in the RS zone ranges between 2 .5 and 10 .0 acres depending upon the "score" of the performance factors specified in the Zoning Ordinance. For this site, the performance factors and their related scores are _as follows: Distance from Center (16, 000-18, 000) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0,.60 Septic Suitability (40-59 min/in) . . . . 1.00 Average Slope (31-35%) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 .75 Access Condition (City accepted) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 . 40 Neighborhood Character (5. 86 ac) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 . 17 TOTAL (Min.

There is, however, ample opportunity to relocate one or more of the lines between Parcels 1 and 2 to achieve the required minimum lot size. Parcel 1, at 16.0 acres, is clearly larger than the minimum lot size allowed by the RS zone. As will be further discussed below, however, staff believes that some parcels, because of their physical limitations, should not be divided to the minimum lot sizes allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. This parcel was originally created by a parcel map first proposed in 1981 and finally completed in January of 1986. That subdivision created four (4) lots from an original 70 .74 acre Colony Lot. The lots created by that subdivision range in size from 15.76 acres to 20 .52 acres. The staff report prepared in 1981 indicated concern with the steepness of the slopes and the access to the property, both roads and driveways. The proposal was tabled in 1981 to allow time for the resolution of the road issues. In 1984, the application was resubmitted and ultimately approved. The staff report prepared at that time indicated: "The main concern of this Parcel Map is the steep slopes. The proposed parcels have few feasible building sites. Careful site selection must be made because of the limitations on these parcels due to their steepness. " The report further stated: "Additional concern involves the potential for future division of the subject property. The Zoning Ordinance allows for lots between 2 1/2 and 10 acres based on certain performance standards. Division followed by redivision of the proposed parcels limits the potential for a planned circulation system. The extreme topography of the site makes it difficult to design a road system that serves more than the four parcels now proposed. " It should also be noted that the Findings for Approval adopted in 1984 appear to speak specifically to the creation of the original four lots only when Finding #1 indicated: "1 . The creation of four lots on this parcel conforms to all applicable zoning and subdivision regulations and 2 t r is consistent with the General Plan. " (emphasis added) The concerns raised in the 1981 and 1984 staff reports are still relevant today. The initial submittal of this new subdivision in January of 1988 proposed the creation of four (4) new lots. This number was finally reduced to three (3) and now to two (2) new lots as a result of numerous meetings between staff, the applicant, and his agent. The potential still exists for future requests for division of this lot, however, because of the size of Parcel 1. A primary concern of staff has been, and continues to be, the extreme slopes apparent on this property and the difficulties :. inherent in developing residential uses on such steep slopes. The memorandum attached to this report as Exhibit D from the City' s Senior Building Inspector speaks to the concerns raised early in the review of this proposal regarding development of building sites and access to this property. In an effort to prove the suitability of building sites and to obtain soil and percolation tests, the applicant had an access road graded in to the property late in 1988 . Although this road was not constructed to City standards in terms of width and slope, the damage that was done was very evident. Based on staff' s observation of the effects of this substandard road, it could not be recommended that a twenty foot wide road graded to a slope less than 20% be developed on this property. The damage to ' the site that would result from grading and constructing such a ._ ' road would be significant . The applicant has proposed two building sites located near San Marcos Road to avoid the necessity of further grading on steep slopes for access. Staff remains troubled with the prospect of future attempts to further divide the property, however. This concern is based in large part on the fact that the property has recently been listed for sale. Contacts with staff by potential purchasers has indicated a strong desire to further split what is proposed to be Parcel 1 . Such splits would only further exacerbate the problems noted above. 3` Section 11-8 .206 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance establishes that lots with a depth to width ratio greater than three (3) shall not be allowed unless there is adequate assurance that future deep lot (flag lot) division will not occur. In this case, Parcel 1 exceeds the 3: 1 depth to width ratio and there is no assurance that future flag lots will not be proposed. In s deed, earlier submittals of this subdivision proposed multiple flag lots and discussions with potential purchasers of the property have, as noted above, indicated that future subdivision proposals may be eminent. The design of the proposed subdivision clearly anticipates future 3 ,. a ,... ''^+ S+r¢'�R-`•,. £ ..> _ f'N�f..An-iPi^ n��'b t �.fY..rneYf' . �x »-nF�`N a division of Parcel 1 . Parcel 2 has been drawn to meet the absolute minimum lot size allowable. The proposed boundary lines do not appear to follow logical topographical features nor is there any attempt to address the 3: 1 depth to width issue. An alternate design or the establishment of open space easements do not appear to have been given consideration. Although the proposed subdivision meets (or can easily be amended to meet) the Zoning Ordinance' s minimum lot size criteria, the General Plan' s Residential Policy Proposals raise substantial issues for consideration. Policy #11 states : "Attention shall be paid to the aesthetic result of land division. Building sites shall be encouraged on natural slopes, with minimal disruption of native vegitation and watersheds, and efficient layout of access and utilities. " Investigation of this property reveals a number of building sites that might be developable with minimal site disruption. As noted above, however, it is the access to these sites that produces severe site disturbance. Although efforts were taken to restore the road previously graded, the scar is still clearly evident. Construction of a City standard access to the lower building sites could not be accomplished " . . .with minimal disruption of native vegitation and watersheds. . . " Residential Policy #12 states: "A program shall be developed to encourage the preservation of trees, watersheds and natural slopes and other natural amenities from abuse and destruction resulting from poor design and development practices. " The City' s "Tree Ordinance" (Section 9-4 . 155 et seq. of the Zoning Ordinance) and the Subdivision Ordinance respond to the General Plan' s mandate to develop programs for resource protection. Section 11-8 .201 of the Subdivision Ordinance, in discussing the design of subdivisions, provides that parcels which are impractical for intended uses due to terrain, location of natural features, inadequate access, frontage, or buildable area, or other physical limitations will not be approved. " The proposed subdivision appears insensitive to both the General Plan's policy statement and Subdivision Ordinance' s implementing language. CONCLUSIONS: The Zoning Ordinance establishes minimum lot sizes to which property may be divided. There is no guaranteed right to subdivide to minimum lot sizes inherent in California statutory or case law, however. In all cases, the General Plan provides policy guidance and criteria to be used to judge the 4 x appropriateness of lot divisions . Only after this criteria has been satisfied do the minimum lot sizes of the Zoning Ordinance become operative. In this instance, staff does not believe that the intent of the General Plan to protect aesthetic values and preserve natural amenities from abuse will be served by the further division and development of the subject property.

Under Bob 's direction I had John Miller conduct a "Site Check" and report his observations: 1 . Access from the lower end appears hazardous. There is only 250' of visibility either way at the proposed intersection with the public road. 2. Slopes at the lower end of the project are 45 to -._ 70 degrees. This would necessitate a considerable amount of grading to make any access work. 3. Slopes at the upper end of the project are from 50 to 60 degrees. 4. Building sites indicated, except those off San Marcos, are doubtful at best. Access to sites is a serious concern: the topography will probably ;,necessitate very deep 'cuis1.•, nto the landscape to ,,produce enough fill for the slopes 5.

(Continued from 11/7/89 meeting) In presenting the staff report, Mr. DeCamp focused on issues which led to staff' s recommendation for denial which included difficulty in providing access to proposed building sites, steep slopes, etc. Commission questions and discussion followed. Commissioner Luna expressed concern with regard to the illegal grading which took place relative to environmental impacts pointed out in an adjacent property' s E.I .R. and asked if any mitigation measures have been proposed. Mr. Decamp responded that restoration of that area has been sought by the City adding that CalTrans has some concern with regard to erosion if something is not done to try to mitigate some of the drainage that would go down the road. Monitoring is taking place by the City as well as CalTrans . regarding the effect of the grading on the property. Discussion followed. PAGE FOUR PLANNING COMMISSION - MINUTES EXCERPT 12/19/89 • Ken Highfill, applicant, provided a background regarding his involvement with the property. He added he is a licensed contractor and has a B.S. in Natural Resources Management, and stated that his developments always begin with consideration of the natural environment. His concerns are for protecting the environment. Mr. Highfill explained his intent is to construct two homes on the property adding the Planning Commission could have the option of placing development restrictions on the 15 acre parcel. He addressed Exhibit D with regard to staff' s site check observations. In speaking to the road issue, Mr. Highfill commented that he established the road to follow the natural contour and provided a background regarding why the illegal road access was cut (to enable him to obtain the necessary percolation and soils analysis tests) . He discussed restoration efforts he endeavored to accomplish and spoke on frustrations relative to planning requirements versus engineering requirements . In conclusion, Mr. Highfill commented that his intent is not to further subdivide the remaining 15 acres; he would just like to be able to build a second house on the property; he would be agreeable to open space easements . Commission questions and discussion continued concerning the potential for septic systems to fail on the steep slopes, negative impacts that Cannot be mitigated, etc. Joan O'Keefe, '9985 Old Morro Road, presented a statement to the Planning Commission (attached) opposing the proposed subdivision. She disagreed with staff' s Negative Declaration determination feeling an EIR should be required . to address the cumulative impacts of this split as well as others in the area. The cumulative impact of these lot splits has ignored their effect on services, traffic, aesthetics, health, emergency services and air pollution. Commissioner Brasher concurred that she, too, has a problem with the Negative Declaration call . In response to inquiry by Commissioner Luna, Mr. DeCamp explained why a Negative Declaration was prepared for this site and clarified that if the Planning Commission denies the project, there is no requirement for further environmental review. Discussion continued. Commissioner Highland explained how the criteria for determining lot access was incorporated into the General Plan. On almost any piece of property an adequate building site can be found, but the key is whether access can be provided to that site.

Sims, Senior Engineer SUBJECT: Proposed Establishment Of A Monument Well Standard RECOMMENDATION: 1 . Adopt resolution 4-90 establishing a monument well standard as delineated in drawing M-1, "Standardou#, Street Monument. " BACKGROUND: The City currently lacks a monument well standard. In the past the City has relied on the San Luis Obispo County Engineering Department' s "Standard Improvement Specifications and Drawings" for guidelines concerning the installation of monument wells. City ordinances refer to "City Standards" even though there are no codified "City Standards. " If adopted, the proposed standard will become one section of a series of "City" standards. • DISCUSSION: Business and Professions Code Section 8771 requires that survey monumentation be preserved (See attached article, "Liability of Local Government for Obliteration of Monuments") . Original colony monuments and survey monuments are located within public and private rights-of-way throughout the City. When streets are paved or reconstructed these monuments are retained or replacement monuments are set in order to preserve the existing surveying references. Merely paving over existing monuments is not sufficient, they must be accessible from the surface for reference. The proposed monument well standard will provide a means of preserving access to these survey points. 3 r 4 y F .. _< ..fir`+.` . .. . ....:4ex ) ..a.v7d'".. ,7�&«ta.. ..S,r ..{2.,x. ,cat-4-•�s. � �` d i:. FISCAL IMPACT: During the City' s 1989 street overlay program 65 monuments were reinstalled in monument wells at a cost of $225 each. This included a $75 cost for the recording of "corner records" for each point. Similar costs will have to be budgeted with each City overlay or street reconstruction project. These costs may f be funded with "gas tax" money. If the installationofmonuments is a part of a "record of survey, " the surveying cost will be approximately $375 per point, for a total of $525. The cost could be substantially more or less depending on the layout of the monuments. The City requires t+ ' few records of survey, usually only in conjunction with a projecth requiring the accurate delineation of the right of way. _'= ,141 Subdivisions and other private projects requiring boundary vg surveys would often have to install monuments as part of a "record of survey. " Frequently, in the past, only surface _ µ g monuments were required with the City subsequently having to pay for raising the monuments when the streets were repaved. Once a well is installed subsequent raising does not require additional surveying. f Enclosures: 1. Chang, Donald, "Liability of Local Government f for Obliteration of Monuments.

S:T w:_k Ef i.,* � 3` . Control Board of the Central Coast Region) shall be used as guidelines by the Administrative Authority. _ (a) Percolation Test. An on-site investigation shall be made in order to determine the suitability of a partic cular site for a private sewage disposal system and to provide the data necessary to design a private sewage disposal system. A percolation test shall be required prior to issuance of a permit for all new or enlarged private sewage disposal systems. The following perco- lation test procedure shall be used in performing } percolation tests, except that other accepted test pro- cedures may be used when approved by the Administrative Authority. (1) Number and Location of Test Holes . A minimum of Three separate test holes space uniformly through and located in the immediate vicinity of the pro- posed leach field site shall be made. (2) Type of Test Holes . The test hole shall have horizontal dimensions between 4 and 12 inches and vertical sides to the depth of the absorption trench. (3) Preparation of Test Hole. Smeared soil surfaces shall be removed from the sides and bottom of the test hole to provide a natural soil interface. All loose material shall be removed from the test hole-. Two inches of coarse sand or fine gravel shall be added to the test hole to protect the bottom from scouring and sediment. (4) Soil Saturation and Swelling. The test hole is to be carefully filled to a depth of one foot above the gravel or sand with clear water which is to be kept in the hole for at least four hours but pref- erably overnight. This step may be omitted in sandy soils containing little or no clay. (5) Measurement of Percolation Rate: The percolation rate shall be determined twenty-four hours after water is first added to the test holes; except, in sandy soils containing little or no clay, the per- colation rate shall be determined after the water from one filling of the test hole has completely seeped away. (i) If water remains in the test hole after the f overnight swelling period, adjust the depth to approximately six inches over the gravel 6 p: or sand and, from a fixed reference point, measure the drop in water level over a thirty minute period to calculate the percolation rate. ( ii) If no water remains in the test hole after the overnight swelling period, add clear water to bring the depth of water in the test hole to approximately six inches over the gravel or sand. From a fixed reference point, measure the drop in water level at approximately thirty minute intervals over four hours refilling six inches over the gravel or sand as necessary. The drop that occurs during the final thirty minute period is used to calculate the percolation rate. -The drops during prior periods provide infor- mation for possible modification of the test procedure to suit local conditions. .f: (iii) In sandy soils (or in other soils in which the first six inches of water seeps away in less than thirty minutes after the overnight swelling period) , the time interval between measurements shall be taken as ten minutes and the test shall run for one hour with the drop during the final ten minutes being used to calculate the percolation rate. (6) Deep Boring: A soil boring, to a minimum depth of ten ( 10) feet below the bottom of the absorption trench, shall be made in order to determine the presence of bedrock and/or ground water. (b) General Design Standards . The following standards shall be used in the design of new or enlarged private sewage disposal systems where the percolation rate does not exceed 60 minutes per inch. (1) Determination of Size of Absorption Area . The absorption area, measured in lineal feet of absorption trench, shall be calculated as set forth in this Section. Tables 4-1 (Absorption Area Requirements) and 4-2 (Standard Trench Adjustment Factors) , included in this Subsection, "shall be referred to as necessary.

For trenches not shown in Table 4-2. the standard trench adjustment factor may be computed as follows: W + 2 W + 1 + 2D Where W = width of trench ( in feet) D = depth of gravel below pipe ( in feet) (2) Location of Private Sewage Disposal Systems : The minimum distance between components of a private sewage disposal system and other site features shall be as set forth in Table 4-3 (Horizontal Distance Separation) and Table 4-4 (Vertical Distance Separation) . Where physical limitations i.. -13- on a site preclude conformance with distance separation requirements, the Administrative Authority may approve a lesser separation when the design is prepared by a registered engineer competent in sanitary engineering and when adequate substantiating data is submitted with the design. The Administrative Authority shall not { approve a separation less than that set forth in the "Water Quality Control Plan - Central Coast kr Region" unless the Regional Water Quality Control Board or its designated representatives have previously approved the design.

Montandon, City Attorney Subject: Tape Recording of City Council Meetings Recommanraai-,^n: Ask the City Council to review, discuss if desired, introduce, and adopt the proposed ordinance which would repeal AMC Section 2-1.19 regulating recordation of City Council meetings. Back r u : Dr. George Luna questioned the validity of AMC Section 2-1.19 at the City Council ' s November 11, 1989 meeting. The Council requested that it be reviewed. Disc ss-t : AMC Section 2-1.19 requires that four hours prior notice be given of a citizen's intent to record a City Council meeting. This ordinance conflicts, to some extent, with Government Code Section 54953.5. The state law allows • recordation of City Council meetings unless such recording causes disruption of the meeting. The City's ordinance could be redrafted to preserve some notice requirement, but in light of the confusion it may cause and the desire of the City Council to allow recordation whenever possible, I have recommended repeal _ of AMC Section 2-1.19. An ordinance is attached for City Council's review, discussion, introduction, and adoption. I remain at your disposal to answer your questions and respond to your concerns.

ANALYSIS: At their meeting on September 19, 1989, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on a request to establish a service station (gasoline cardlock) , including a 1,350 square foot retail store, in the CN (Commercial Neighborhood) zone. Upon review, the Commission voted to deny Conditional Use Permit 7-89, but encouraged the applicant to apply for a zone change to CT A (Commercial Tourist) . 0 Land Use/Zoning Map This request requires only a zone change, for; the existing Retail Commercial designation of the,.General,_Plan includes the CR, (Commercial Retail) , CN (Commercial. Neighborhood) , and CT' (Commercial Tourist) zones. Thus, the General Plan already conforms to a zone change from CN to CT'. As' stated irr the- previous report, the General Plan Update is the appropriate time to split the Commercial Retail General Plan designation into the more specific designations as contained in the Zoning Ordinance. if_ the. General Plan designations of Tourist Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial are created, the land uses allowed by the Zoning Ordinance_�will reflect the General Plan more accurately. All. other General Plan land use categories correspond to the specific zoning Land Use Policies Staff believes that the corner lots of the Del Rio Rd. and El Camino Real intersection are better suited for more intense uses, such as freeway oriented uses serving the traveling public. For `this reason, staff has expanded the study area ,for this application to. include the two westerly corner tots, in--addition to: the subject.-site (see Exhibit ,C) . The remaining CN property shcauld.r.emaiiCL,devated:.to ..uses s.erviug the immediate neighb9rhood. This would take a4.vantage- of the freeway access offerers ' Det` *' , .Road Rio. ; . while -sti4l. maintaining sufficient rcial- ., neighborhood land to serve"-this developing-,areae: The two we corner lots at the intersection are presently developed with uses allowed in the CT zone; a service station (Exxon) and a restaurant (The Dugout) . Thus, a redesignation to ._r> f*ACT on these two lots simply reflects the existing land use. Although it could seem wise to review �a- four corner lots for CT . designation, staff has not included the" northeasterly corner lot 4 ire the expanded -study area. This parcel is -much larger in size than the other corner lots (approximately 2. 50, acres), and is adjacent to land zoned for low density°-single family residential".= CT`: zoning in this location may •create{,an,-<inca�agati:ble :development pattern and ,appearstpremature at this time. Whereas the northeasterly lot -abuts RS, (Residential Stibtirhanf land, the subject property contains the surrounding CN property as a buffer between tourist and residential uses. As stated previously, the site could be ideal for a service station, such as the proposed cardlock system, or a similar land use. As the General Plan (p. 64) says, "Tourist Commercial provides for uses that serve the; traveling, public- s2rch as-motels;, reeta-wran»ts­i rand automotive services. These services are properly located at intersections of major inter-community routes where permanent 0 accesses are constructed and which have some high aesthetic value. " The intersection of Del Rio Rd, and El Camino Real clearly fits this description. Site Development While all other City agencies responded favorably to a zone change at this location, several site development issues were raised. Drainage improvements must include measures to convey drainage to Highway 101, or provide an adequate onsite detention basin. Furthermore, an engineeredsystem is- needed: for sewage disposal (the site is not served by sewer) . Both drainage and sewage disposal were reviewed in concept as part of the zone change and prior use permit applications by the Engineering and Building,. Divisions,__respectively. As part of the Precise Plan application for- development of the site, specific engineered plans will be required. The necessary public improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, and fire hydrant upgrade) will be conditions of the Precise Plan. CONCLUSIONS: The City's General Plan. Update study program has identified the intersection. of Del.Rio Rd. and El Camino Real as. potentially. . appropriate for tourist commercial uses. The surrounding CN area will remain to serve the neighborhood and as a buffer between the tourist and residential uses. While the current General Plan designation of Retail Commercial is consistent with a zone_cha.nge from. CN, to CT,, a breakdown of this category will . better reflect.,the ,specif as,,af"Rthher Zcrrr ng Ordlzrance: - A C7'lanes` _ M use;at. the subject- site will, encourage :tourist, commercial, land- uses and take advantage of- the freeway interchange. Locating across the street from similar existing uses will also uphold the following.,;General....Plan.,:commercial policy. _(Page 61) "Commercial uses:',shall be develope& in clusters to encourage concentrations of compatible retail trade service. " The City land use policies, existing development pattern, and the site' s location at a major intersection with freeway access, all encourage a tourist commercial land use in this area.

Dan and Paula Folkins on behalf of Folkins & Folkins, Inc. would like to hereby submit a proposal to the City of Atasca- dero for a building project to be located on the corner of El Camino and Del Rio Road. The facility that we propose to build would be a modern fueling facility which would cater to the needs of the commu- nity and benefit all classes of trade, including business and corm-narcyal use of an up-to-date cardlock fueling system. . As you will observe from the attached plans, this will be a very attractive business complete with a "mini-mart" and separate fueling islands for gasoline and diesel fuel. We are proud to introduce this recent concept for a 24- hour fueling facility which will be the first of its kind here on the Central Coast. Our company, Folkins & Folkins, Inc. , is a small family- owned and operated business and we feel that it is a great opportunity for us to create this new business in your commu— nity that will serve the fueling needs of Atascadero as well as the surrounding agricultural area for years to come.

ANALYSIS: The applicant proposes to establish a 24-hour service station, including a cardlock gasoline system. In a cardlock system, fueling and billing is accomplished by use of a card, similar to a credit card. The cardlock system would be available only for the commercial and agricultural clients. The project also contains a 1, 350 square feet food and beverage retail store. Under the Zoning Ordinance, this proposed use is defined as a service station, with special development standards required in Chapter Six. Although this is the dominant use of the property, the "quick-stop" store (defined as food and beverage retail) is included to determine parking requirements, as well as other site considerations. As the following analysis reveals however, it is the magnitude of the project in relation to the intended uses of the Commercial Neighborhood (CN) zone, that creates a conflict. The General Plan and Zoning Ordinance both contain policies for development in the CN zones. In light of the General Plan Update program, this report also reviews other possible land use designations for the site. Development Standards/Appearance Review Section 9-6. 164 of the Zoning Ordinance contains development standards for automobile service stations. These include minimum requirements for location, site area, setbacks, access, parking, and landscaping. As Exhibit C shows, the design meets all of the criteria, with the exception of a five foot landscaped strip on Del Rio Rd. Furthermore, the color and material board (Exhibit D) presents a building design with a positive image for this type of use. By providing a canopy of the same color and materials, the design theme of the retail building is connected with the passenger vehicle fueling area. Thus as the next section indicates, the concern is not site or building design, but the nature of the project in light of the land use purpose of the CN zone. General Plan/Zoning Ordinance Language On page 63, the General Plan explains the intent of the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation and proposes policies for its development: "These are retail businesses and services that supply the daily needs of the community. " "Usually, a grocery store anchors the neighborhood shopping center. Around it are clustered convenience stores such as the drug store, the barber, laundromat, perhaps a service station, among others. " "In order to relieve traffic congestion along El Camino Real and reduce the number of daily trips downtown, proposed convenience stores shall be encouraged to locate in neighborhood areas. " The Zoning Ordinance summarizes the intent of the CN zone in the purpose statement (Section 9-3.201) : "This zone is established to provide for small scale retail shopping and personal service facilities at the neighborhood level. The Commercial Neighborhood Zone is situated and designed to serve the limited shopping and service needs of the immediately surrounding residential area. " -2- As the applicant' s statement and letters of support (see attachments) indicate the proposed fuel facility is regional in nature. With the closest similar facility being located in Paso Robles, this project will serve the commercial and agricultural fuel needs of the surrounding region, including Santa Margarita and Templeton. While a neighborhood service station could be an appropriate use in the CN zone, the service area of this project far exceeds that of the "daily, limited needs of the immediately surrounding residential area. " General Plan Update While the proposed use is clearly not appropriate in the CN zone as defined, an analysis of this current land use designation at the four corners at Del Rio Road and E1 Camino Real is underway in the General Plan Update program. This review addresses both the existing shortcomings in the General Plan Retail Commercial designation, as well as the potential for more appropriate land use designations. The existing Retail Commercial designation of the General Plan includes the CR (Commercial Retail) , CN (Commercial Neighborhood) , and CT (Commercial Tourist) zones. Hence, the suitable land uses for this broad category range from small scale neighborhood centers to large scale hotels and visitor centers . Staff believes that the General Plan Update is the appropriate time to split Commercial Retail into the more specific designations as contained in the Zoning Ordinance. If the General Plan designations of Tourist Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial are created, the land uses allowed by the Zoning Ordinance will reflect the General Plan more accurately. All other General Plan land use categories correspond to the specific zoning. The General Plan realizes the importance of providing convenient commercial services with the following policy (page 63) : "If, because of population pressures, a need can be demonstrated, commercial uses should be located where they are convenient for commuting residents. In such a case, a location at either of the U.S. 101 intersections with Del Rio Road and Santa Barbara Road shall be desirable for commercial development . Such development shall be secondary to surrounding residential uses and shall necessitate a development plan. " The four corners of CN land use at Del Rio Road and El Camino Real comprise approximately fifteen (15) acres. By comparison, the site containing the Food 4 Less/Long' s shopping center is less than nine (9) acres. Staff believes that the corner lots (those having frontage on both Del Rio and El Camino) are better suited for more intense uses, such as freeway oriented uses -3- serving the traveling public. The remaining CN property should remain devoted to uses serving the immediate neighborhood. This would take advantage of the freeway access offered by Del Rio Road, while still maintaining sufficient commercial neighborhood land to serve this developing area. CONCLUSIONS: The purpose of the CN zone is to provide the daily shopping and service needs of the immediately surrounding area. A service station primarily designed to provide the commercial, industrial, and agricultural fuel needs of the Atascadero region is not appropriate. Furthermore, the cardlock system restricts access and availability to members only. On the other hand, this site could be ideal for this facility, with its direct access to the freeway and proximity to the Templeton area. The letters of support indicate that this type of facility is needed in the area. For these reasons, staff encourages the applicant to apply for a zone change to CT. A new General Plan designation of Tourist Commercial at three or four of these corner lots would maintain consistency between the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. Sufficient Neighborhood Commercial land would remain to serve the surrounding residential area.

Dan and Paula Folkins on behalf of Folkins Folkins, Inc. would like to hereby submit a proposal to the City of Atasca- dero for a building project to be located on the corner of E1 Camino and Del Rio Road. The facility that we propose to build would be a modern fueling facility which would cater to the needs of the commu- nity and benefit all classes of trade, including business and commercial use of an up-to-date cardlock fueling system. As you will observe from the attached plans, this will be a very attractive business complete with a "mini-mart" and separate fueling islands for gasoline and diesel fuel. We are proud to introduce this recent contzept for a 24- hour fueling facility which will be the first of its kind here on the Central Coast. Our company, Folkins & Folkins, Inc. , is a small family- owned and operated business and we feel that it is a great opportunity for us to create this new business in your commu- nity that will serve the fueling needs of Atascadero as well as the surrounding agricultural area for years to come.

The Negative Declaration prepared for the project is adequate. FINDINGS: 1 . The proposed project is not consistent with the General Plan policies for development within the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation. 2 . The proposed project is not consistent with the Zoning Ordinance purpose statement for development within the Commercial Neighborhood zone. PAGE FIVE PLANNING COMMISSION - MINUTES EXCERPT - 12/19/89 MOTION: Made by Commissioner Luna, seconded by Commission- er Brasher and carried 7 : 0 to deny Tentative Parcel Map 13-89 baser! on the Findings for Denial contained in the staf report with no action on the Negative Declaration. Chairperson Lochridge declared a recess at 9 : 05 p.m. ; meeting reconvened at 9 : 23 p.m. 3 . ZONE CHANGE 12-89 : Application filed by Folkins & Folkins, Inc . for consideration of changing the zoning from CN (Commer- cial Neighborhood) to CT (Commercial Tourist) . Subject site is located at 2025 E1 Camino Real . Mr. Davidson presented the staff report and provided a background on a previous conditional use permit request to establish a service station and retail store on the subject site. Staff is recommending approval of the zone Change as reflected in the draft ordinance. Commission questions and discussion followed concerning allowable and conditionally allowed uses in the CT zone, site development issues including drainage and traffic, curb, gutter and sidewalk, etc. In response to questions, Mr. Davidson stated that the precise plan process would be required for the site ' s development . Dan Folkins, applicant, spoke in support of the request and clarified that his company is a small operation and has no affiliation with any major oil companies . There is a need for this type of service (cardlock station) in the Atascadero area. He emphasized that the proposed use is not a truck stop and explained that this site is ideal for access for vehicles traveling on the freeway. Mr. Folkins then responded to questions from the Commission. Paul Hyman expressed concern that a convenience store could be built adjacent to the gas station without further public review that would sell alcohol . He felt there is a definite public health and safety issue about concurrent sales of gasoline and alcohol . Mr. DeCamp remarked that the Council has initiated a change to the zoning ordinance text that would require that the concurrent sale of gasoline and alcohol be approved only through the conditional use permit process . Martin Kudlac, 4740 Del Rio, presented the Commission with a petion from 17 residents on Del Rio opposing the zone change. There will be an increase in traffic with an overflow of waiting vehicles. He expressed concern with the future school development at Del Rio and San Benito Roads PAGE SIX PLANNING COMMISSION - MINUTES EXCERPT - 12119/89 and what effect this proposal will have, as well as concern that any convenience store built will become a hang-out and will only contribute to the litter problem. This residential area is not an appropriate one for the proposed use. Barry Pendley, Obispo Road resident, echoed Mr. Kudlac' s comments Opposing the request. There appear to be a number of areas both north and south of the City limits that would be more suitable for this type of development. He presented a letter opposing the zone change from Roger and Marilynn Orismore. Dorothy McNeil asked for clarification on Mr. DeCamp' s earlier statements concerning the Council initiated action concerning use permits required for alcohol sales in conjunction with gasoline sales . Paul Hyman asked how the public safety and health concerns concerning concurrent alcohol and gasoline sales would be addressed for this particular proposal since an ordinance has not been adopted. Discussion followed. Mr. Folkins stated he is disappointed about the alcohol issue adding that he and his family would be more than willing to sign a statement that there will be no sales of alcohol for his convenience store. Commissioner Highland stated that focus needs to be given to the zone change itself, not a particular project. There is a lot going for CT zoning on the subject corner; it is small enough that it will not be developed into a major truck stop. There is good visibility and has major access to the freeway. In response to question, Mr. DeCamp explained that the amount of developable CT properties is extremely limited. There is some CT land at the intersection of Santa Rosa and El Camino Real; some CT at the corner of San Anselmo and 101 that is currently available for development. Chairperson Lochridge cited a previous CUP for Beehive Mobile Homes wherein it appeared that many of the CT allowable uses would not be acceptable for that particular piece of land. Mr. DeCamp commented that given the limited amount of commercial tourist property that is readily available, this would be a prime location for this use given the access and visibility of the site. PAGE SEVEN PLANNING COMMISSION - MINUTES ...EXCERPT - 12/19/89 Commissioner Highland explained that the subject site has been used as a trucking site for at least 15-20 years as the property owner has had a trucking business . There was continued discussion concerning the overlap of CN and CT zoning. In response to Question, Mr. Decamp stated a majority of the uses allowed in the CN zone are also allowed in the CT zone. The difference is that the CN land focuses on the immediate needs of the surrounding neighborhood; the CT zone takes advantage of the freeway and visibility and is focused on a broader range of uses that might attract the traveling public. Commissioner Brasher stated that a serious look needs to be taken at all of the commercial uses and how they are defined and where they are appropriate. Mr. DeCamp added that through the General Plan update and the rewrite of the Zoning ordinance those concerns will be addressed. The Ordinance is extremely liberal in terms of the overlap and the uses that are allowed in the various zones . Commissioner Luna expressed concern with the increase in traffic that will result and asked if there is information in the Update that will assist the Commission on how much of an increase will occur. Mr. Decamp responded that Del Rio Road is anticipated to have significant increases . Del Rio may be one of many roads that may be designated as a truck route. MOTION: Made by Commissioner Highland, seconded by Commis- sioner Hanauer, to recommend approval of Zone Change 12-89 based on the draft ordinance contained in the staff report. The motion carried 4 :3 with the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Highland, Hanauer, Lopez- Balbontin and Waage NOES: Commissioners Luna, Brasher and Chairperson Lochridge Commissioner Brasher felt this zone change is premature at this time prior to the General Plan Update. Commissioner Lopez-Balbontin stated there is a need for this type of diesel distribution besides on the corner of E1 Yp _ 41 which is already a heavily Real and Highway Y Camino g y impacted corner.

DeCamp, City Planner File No: ZC 3-89 SUBJECT: An amendment to the text of the Zoning Ordinance to allow lots occupied by nonconforming uses to be further developed by the addition of conforming uses or structures. BACKGROUND: The City Council initiated this Zoning Ordinance text amendment to provide an opportunity for analysis of the question of allowing for the addition of conforming uses or structures to lots which contain nonconforming uses. This amendment request was generated by Mr. L. Kent Williams who seeks to build an additional storage building on a single family residential lot which already contains two (2) single family dwellings (a nonconforming land use) . The City' s Zoning Ordinance does not permit the expansion of, or additions to such nonconforming uses. A. SITUATION AND FACTS: 1 . Applicant. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .City of Atascadero 2 . Project Location. . . . .. . . . . .City wide 3. Environmental Status. . . . . . . . .Negative Declaration posted November 21, 1989 B. ANALYSIS: The Zoning Ordinance defines a nonconforming land use as follows: "9-7 . 102 . Nonconforming Use Defined: Nonconforming use includes any of the following which were lawfully established before the effective date, or before any subsequent amendment, of this Title: (a) A building, structure (including signs) , land use, or activity which was established or conducted in a • manner which does not conform with one or more 2 standards or permit requirements of this Title. (b) A use of land established in a location where such use is not identified as allowable by this Title. " Chapter 7 of the Ordinance restricts the use and/or expansion of nonconforming land uses as follows: "9-7 . 106. Nonconforming Uses of Land: Any nonconforming use of land (Section 9-7 . 102 (b) ) may be continued as follows: (a) Expansion: The use may not be enlarged, increased, or extended to occupy a greater area of land than that occupied on the effective date of this Title, except for a detached single family residence as provided in Subsection c of this Section. (b) Discontinued Use: If the nonconforming use of land is discontinued for a period of six months or more, any following use shall conform with all applicable requirements of this Title. (c) Single Family Residential Use: A detached single family residence existing as a principal use in commercial or industrial zoning districts may be continued as a residential use, subject to Subsection b of this Section, and may be altered, provided that no increase in the number of dwelling units or increase greater than 50% in the usable floor area, as it existed on the effective date of this Title, occurs. Any expansion pursuant to this standard shall conform with all applicable provisions of Chapters 9-4 and 9-6 of this Title. " Staff has consistently interpreted Section 9-7 . 106. (a) to mean that no additional development would be allowed on a parcel containing any nonconforming use. This interpretation has applied equally to direct expansion of the nonconforming use or the development or placement of a conforming use on the same property. The Ordinance allows for the continuation of the legally created but now nonconforming use, but disallows any expansion of the use, or increase in the development of the property upon which the nonconforming use is located. The intent of disallowing expansion of the nonconforming use, or other use of the property, is to encourage the nonconforming use to relocate to a zone where it is allowed or can be conditionally approved. The City' s General Plan provides little guidance relative to nonconforming uses. The basic premise of a general plan is, however, to ensure compatible development and to provide suitable 310 areas for the range of activities that are anticipated within the community. For this reason, it is not customary for a plan to devote much space to the issue of nonconforming uses . The single Policy in the Atascadero General Plan that does address the issue of nonconforming uses is found in the Residential Policy Proposals (page 58) and states: "13. Non-conforming uses located in residential areas shall be relocated. " The Zoning Ordinance provisions regarding the expansion of nonconforming uses effectively encourage such uses to relocate to appropriate zones if they seek to expand, enlarge or extend their area. It is clearly in the best interest of the community to eliminate, wherever and whenever possible, nonconforming land uses. Nonconforming uses that were created illegally should be abated; legally established nonconforming uses should be encouraged to relocate to more suitable locations. Likewise, such uses, whether legally established or not, should not be allowed to expand. It may not be necessary to restrict the establishment of all conforming uses and/or structures on lots containing nonconforming land uses as is currently provided in the Zoning Ordinance. If a conforming use will not facilitate the continuation or expansion of a nonconforming use, there is no public interest to be protected. The City of San Luis Obispo, for example, allows for such development in their Zoning Ordinance by providing: "A lot occupied by a non-conforming use may be further developed by the addition of conforming uses and structures, provided an administrative use permit is approved by the Director. " Through the Conditional Use Permit process (an Administrative Use Permit appears to be a more appropriate vehicle, but is not authorized by the Atascadero Zoning Ordinance) , assurances could be obtained that the new conforming use or structure would not add to the nonconforming status of the lot, and that other concerns such as density, circulation, landscaping, etc. are addressed. An example of a situation where a conforming structure and use might be permitted on a lot containing a nonconforming use is the property owned by Mr. Williams. This pot contains approximately 5. 0 acres and is zoned RS (Residential Suburban) . There are two (2) single family dwellings on this property that were constructed well before the adoption of the current Zoning Ordinance. The property is, however, considered to be 4 nonconforming because of the second residence. Under the provisions of the current Ordinance, Mr. Williams has been denied a permit to build a storage building on his property, even though the storage building would otherwise be a conforming use and structure. After review of a site plan, and a public hearing, the Planning Commission might be able to approve such a project given adequate assurances that all concerns relative to density, site design, landscape screening, etc. have been addressed. If, however, the analysis results in unresolved concerns, the plan could be denied. Such issues can best be determined on a case- by-case basis. The language proposed for inclusion within the Zoning Ordinance would provide the avenue for the case-by-case analysis and determination that is necessary. C. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission approve the attached draft ordinance and recommend its adoption to the City Council. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A - March 28, 1989 City Council Report Attachment B - Draft Ordinance ATTACHMENT A M E M O R A N D U M r TO: City Council March 28 , 1989 VIA: Ray Windsor, City Manager FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director �*6 SUBJECT., REQUEST TO INITIATE ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT - NONCONFORMING USES/STRUCTURES BACKGROUND: Mr. L. Kent Williams has submitted a request to provide enough flexibility in the Zoning Ordinance to permit him to build a barn on his existing lot at 12501 Santa Lucia Road. There are two homes on this five acre parcel which creates a nonconforming land use situation. The Zoning Ordinance does not permit the expansion of nonconforming uses nor the issuance of a permit in such cases . REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a revision to the Zoning Ordinance to allow lots occupied by a nonconforming use to be further developed by the addition of conforming uses or structures . The request to amend the zoning text applies to all properties in the City and, therefore, the ordinance wisely requires that there be either Planning Commission or Council authorization before pro- ceeding to analysis and public hearing which could lead to a potential change. It would appear reasonable to evaluate establishing by use permit the possibility of of allowing lots occupied by nonconforming uses to be further developed by the addition of conforming uses and structures provided they do not increase the degree of nonconformity. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council initiate for review and consideration a zoning text amendment to allow limited development for nonconforming uses or structures subject to selected findings .

CoiimissioIi questions and discussion followed relative to the advantages a use permit would have as far as control of noncoIiforming structures on a piece of property: the Zoning Ordinance currently does not have a provision for an administrative officer to regulate this function . etc . 0 in response to question from the Commission, Mr. DeCamp provided a background on the City Counci'L ' s intent in initiatina the zoning amendment. Commissioner Hiah'Land stated that such examines of nonconforming uses would apply to residential areas wherein second structures had been allowed under Countv -jurisdiction. Greg Peterson, representing L. Tient Williams, explained how the two houses on the five acre piece of property had been in conformance with County ordinances but became nonconform- ing upon adoption of Atascadero' s ordinances . Mr. and Mrs . Williams desire to construct a barn/storage building. Mr. Peterson urged approval of their request. Commissioner Waage stated he sees no problem with the ordinance and would 'Like to see the conditional use permit process used. Commissioner Highland added that a chance in the zoning text to make provision for an administrative officer would be useful when a revision to the Ordinance is adopted.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: C-1 Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager Meeting Date: 1/9/90 File No: GP Cycle 1-90 From: Henry Engen, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Preliminary review of General Plan Amendment applications submit- ted for analysis and action in the first cycle of 1990. BACKGROUND: On December 19, 1989, the Planning Commission considered the four General Plan Amendments submitted for this first cycle of 1990. Upon review, the Commission recommended to the City Council those study areas for the first cycle of 1990 General Plan amendments as shown on the exhibit maps in the attached • staff report, and recommended concurrence with staff's recommendations for GP 1A-90, GP 1B-90, and GP 1C90. In the case of GP 1D-90 (to establish specific creekway building standards) , the Commission recommended that this amendment and concurrent zoning ordinance text change be initiated independent of the General Plan Update Program. There was discussion and public testimony as referenced in the attached minutes excerpt. RECOMMENDATION: Concurrence with the Planning Commission' s recommendation on the four General Plan amendments . HR•ns Attachments: Staff Report dated December 19, 1989 Minutes Excerpt - December 19 , 1989 • CITY OF ATASCADERO Item: C-1 STAFF REPORT FOR: Planning Commission Meeting Date: December 19, 1989 BY- -' Steven L. DeCamp, City Planner File No: GP Cycle 1-90 SUBJECT: Preliminary review of those General Plan Amendment applications submitted for analysis and action in the first cycle of 1990. BACKGROUND: The application period for the first cycle of General Plan amendments for 1990 closed on October 1, 1989. The purpose of this report is to allow the Planning Commission an opportunity to recommend approval or modification of the proposed study areas for the amendments already initiated by private property owners. In addition, the Planning Commission can use this as an opportunity to initiate any additional amendments to the City' s General Plan. As with prior amendment cycles, staff will recommend that Zoning Ordinance text and/or map revisions, as • needed, be processed concurrently with the corresponding General Plan amendment proposals. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: Following is a brief description of the amendment requests currently in process and staff' s recommendation for study area boundaries. Staff is not recommending that any additional City initiated General Plan amendments be undertaken at this time because completion of the first draft under the General Plan Revision Program is imminent. GP 1A-90 - 10060 Atascadero Ave. (Tomassacci & Hazard) [] "Suburban Single Family" to "High Density Single Family" [] RS (Residential Suburban) to RSF-X (Residential Single Family - 1/2 acre minimum lot size) The applicant has submitted a General Plan map amendment request for a 2 .43 acre parcel near the intersection of Atascadero Avenue and San Gabriel . The subject property is designated for Suburban Single Family development on the General Plan map. The property to the north, south and west of this site is also designated for • Suburban Single Family use. The property to the east is shown as Moderate Density Single Family on the General Plan. The subject property is within the RS (Residential Suburban) zoning district . The property to the east is zoned RSF-Y (min. lot size of 1 ac with sewers/1 .5 acres without) . These designations are consistent with their corresponding General Plan designations. The applicant has requested a change to a designation of High Density Single Family on the General Plan map and a zoning esignation of RSF-X (1/2 acre minimum lot size) . The subject property is not included within the boundaries of the Urban Services Line and thus can not be provided with sewer service. The lack of sewer service precludes the establishment of the land use designation and zoning district requested by the applicant. It would, therefore, be necessary to extend the Urban Services Line to accomplish the applicant' s plans. Staff does not believe that this application should be reviewed and acted upon on its own merits. A change in zone designation to RSF-X constitutes "spot zoning" and a significant leap-froging of development densities. Extension of the Urban Services Line in this location raises substantial policy issues that can best be addressed in the context of the General Plan Update Program. GP 1B-90 - 9110 Santa Barbara (Eagle Creek Associates) [] "Commercial Retail" to "Recreation", High Density Single Family", and Commercial Retail" [] CT (Commercial Tourist) to L (Recreation) , RSF-X (Residential Single Family - 1/2 acre minimum lot size) , and CT (Tourist Commercial) with a PD Overlay The applicant has submitted a proposal to redesignate approximately 22 . 0 acres of a 23.5 acre site located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Santa Barbara Road and US 101 . The property is currently designated "Retail Commercial" on the General Plan map. The zoning on the property is CT [FH] (Tourist Commercial with a Flood Hazard Overlay) . The property is beyond the Urban Services Line. The property surrounding this site is designated for Suburban Single Family development (to the north and east) or is in an Agricultural Preserve (Eagle Ranch) . The applicant is proposing that approximately 11 . 0 acres of the site be utilized for High Density Single Family (RSF-X) residential development. Another 11 . 0 acres would be designated for recreational development (a golf course) . The remaining 1 .5 acres would remain for highway oriented commercial development . 2 The PD Overlay would be utilized to control the scale of the project and insure compatibility of adjacent uses . In addition, the applicant seeks to "average" the residential lot sizes to include the recreational development . Staff believes that this amendment request can be reviewed independently of the ongoing General Plan Revision Program. The current General Plan and zoning designations for this property have been questioned in the past, but the site specific issues have not been resolved. This amendment request provides an appropriate vehicle for the analysis and environmental review necessary to resolve those issues. Appropriate changes to the Zoning Map can be made concurrently with any amendment to the General Plan map. GP 1C-90 - 11600 El Camino Real (Hendrix) [] "Suburban Single Family" to Undetermined [] RS (Residential Suburban) to Undetermined PD The applicant has requested an amendment to the General Plan map and Zoni_y�g Ordinance Map and text to allow the development of a multi-use commercial/recreation/entertainment center. The property contains approximately 63 acres and is located between E1 Camino Real and US 101 north of Santa Barbara Road. This site is currently designated Suburban Single Family on the General Plan map and is zoned RS [FH] (Residential Suburban - Flood Hazard Overlay) . The General Plan does not contain a land use category which appears immediately suitable for the type of development envisioned by the applicant. Likewise, the Zoning Ordinance does not contain a land use definition of zoning district which would accommodate the range of uses proposed. For this reason, it will be necessary to analyze new designations and definitions if the project is to proceed. A PD (Planned Development) also appears appropriate to further control the developments effects both internally and externally. It is anticipated that in addition to any other changes in the General Plan required by this proposal, it will be necessary to extend the Urban Services Line to include this property. Staff believes that this General Plan amendment request can and should be reviewed independently of the ongoing General Plan Update Program. Early in the Update process, staff determined that the area affected by this proposal was a candidate for development of a Specific Plan as provided for in the Government Code. As a result of that determination, it was intended to leave this area "white" on the revised Land Use map. This proposal provides an opportunity to prepare the analysis and 3 environmental documentation necessary to adopt a Specific Plan for a major portion of the south end of town. Staff is recommending that the study area for this proposal be slightly enlarged to allow analysis of both sides of El Camino Real and to allow inclusion of the large Neighborhood Commercial zone south of Santa Barbara Road. GP 1D-90 - Citywide (Luna) [] Establish specific creekway building setback standards At one time, the City' s General Plan contained specific setback standards from creeks and streams. That standard was removed from the General Plan to pave the way for subdivision and eventual residential development within the Creek Reservation along Atascadero Creek. Commissioner Luna has suggested that a setback standard be reestablished within the text of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Staff concurs that enabling language for a building setback standard should be included within the General Plan. Indeed, the draft of the updated Land Use Element will contain such language. Therefore, staff recommends that this issue be referred to the Update Program and not undertaken as a separate study at this time. RECOMMENDATION: The Commission should recommend study areas for the first cycle of 1990 General Plan amendments, as shown on the attached maps, to the City Council.

NEW BUSINESS 1 . Preliminary review of General Plan Amendment applications submitted for analysis and action in the first cycle of 1990 . Mr. DeCamp presented the staff report stating the purpose of this report is to determine: (1 ) which of the amendments will be considered at this time; ( 2) which will be referred to the overall General Plan update process; and, (3) to determine study areas . The Commission' s consensus was to review each amendment separately. GP IA -90 (10600 Ataseadero Avenue - Tomassacei & Hazard Staff is recommending that this General Plan amendment not be undertaken at this time but be referred to the General Plan process so that this property can be looked at in context with the surrounding neighborhood and other changes that might be occurring to the Urban Services Line. Mr. DeCamp noted he has spoken to the applicant' s engineer and they are in agreement with the recommendation. In response to question from Commissioner Luna, Mr. DeCamp stated the applicant will receive a full refund of his application fee. GP 1B-90 (9110 Santa Barbara (Eagle Creek Associates) Staff is recommending that this request be reviewed independently of the ongoing General Plan revision program. In response to question from Commissioner Luna, Mr. DeCamp noted a final environmental determination has not vet been made but a focused E . I.R. that would focus on traffic and drainage issues, as well as land use compatibility issues is likely. It was further stated that the environmental review for the adjacent amendment request across the freeway (GP 1C-90) would probably be separate from this amendment as the two projects are independent of each other. Eric Michielssen with Eagle Creek Associates stated his concurrence with the recommendation. The property has 9 existing parcels which totals 23 acres and is presently zoned CT. Mr. Michielssen spoke on the proposed concept for the property and asked that the Commission consider this amendment individually and not lumped together with any other project. GP 1C-90 11600 E1 Camino Real (Hendrix) Staff' s recommendation is to initiate the General Plan amendment at this time and enlarge the study area slightly to allow analysis of both sides of El Camino Real and to allow inclusion of the large Neighborhood Commercial zone south of Santa Barbara Road. PAGE NINE PLANNING COMMISSION - MINUTES EXCERPT - 12/19/89 Commission questions and discussion followed. There was no public testimony given. GP ID-90 Citywide (Luna) Mr. DeCamp stated that with the rewrite of the General Plan, the enabling language concerning the establishment of specific creekway building setback standards has been included. Staff is recommending that this issue be referred to the update program and not be undertaken as a separate study at this time. Commission questions and discussion followed relative to time frames for the General Plan update program. Mr. DeCamp pointed out that every project which is undertaken that takes away from the effort on the General Plan is going to lengthen the process. Discussion followed. Commissioner Highland commented that it does not appear that there are going to be extensive changes to the land use element of the General Plan which would require lengthy hearings, etc. Commissioner Luna spoke in support of the amendment to restore what used to be policy direction in the General Plan which was removed in 1982 concerning establishment of specific creekway building setback standards of not less than 50 feet. He read various statements from the General Plan to support his request. Commissioner Luna expressed concern that someone might come along and declare the General Plan inadeauate because mandatory policies have not been fulfilled. Discussion continued concerning effects of inverse condemnation which would occurasa result of not being able to meet the necessary creek building setbacks . Chairperson Lochridge suggested that the first three amendments be acted upon with one motion and then consider the fourth one. MOTION: By Commissioner Highland, seconded by Commissioner Luna and carried 7 :0 to extend the meeting past 11 :00 P.M. MOTION: By Commissioner Highland, seconded by Commissioner Lopez-Balbontin and carried 7 :0 to follow staff' s recommendations on GP 1A-90, GP 1B-90, and GP 1C-90 . Chairperson Lochridge discussed the two options available for consideration by the Commission. PAGE TEN PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES EXCERPT - 12/19/89 Chairperson Luna stated his opinion that unless a creek setback ordinance is written as soon as possible, the City is in violation of its General Plan. Commissioner Hanauer concurred adding that this should be initiated now. Mr. DeCamp pointed out that the Commission needs to also initiate a Zoning Ordinance text change to provide the type of setback standard being sought. Discussion followed. There -was continued discussion concerning the methods by which inverse condemnation would be avoided. MOTION: By Commissioner Luna, and seconded by Commissioner Hanauer to recommend to the City Council that it reinstate language concerning the establishment of specific creekway building setback standards in the General Plan, and that it initiate simultan- eously building setback requirements from the creeks in the Zoning Ordinance. The motion carried 6 : 1 with Commissioner Highland dissenting. Commissioner Highland stated his dissenting vote was based on a procedural basis, although he agrees with the concept. C. INDIVIDUAL COMMENT 1. Planning Commission CDliimisgion@ Brasher stated that SLO Moving as not implemented any of the necessary improvem is to the property, and expressed concern with th- condition of the adjacent property vacant lot behind T ' ,e Ring) . She asked that enforcement proceedings be in ' iated. Commissioner Luna commented oz a memo he wrote concerning initial studies for Negativ- Declarations and asked that he be provided with copies o the initial studies on applications. Meeting adjourn at 11 :20 p.m. MINUTES RECO D BY: PATRICIA SHEPPHARD, Administrative Secretary MIN ES APPROVED BY: STEVEN DECAMP, City Planner MEETING AGENDA DATE 1/9/20 ITEM# C-2 rMEMORANDUM City of Atascadero To: City Council January 9, 1990 From: Arther R. Montandon, City Attorney via: Ray Windsor, City Manager Subject: Code Enforcement Recommendation: 1. Review the proposed Code Enforcement Policy (attached) , and if it meets with your approval, adopt. 2. Authorize the retention of legal prosecutorial services of Roy Hanley, Attorney at Law. • Background: During the four weeks I have been Atascadero' s City Attorney, I have been reviewing the Code Enforcement Program. Generally, it needs some policy guidance. There is presently a backlog of code enforcement cases. I have met with the City Manager, Henry Engen, Steve DeCamp and several complaining citizens about the present problems. As a result of these meetings, I have contacted the most pressing vio- lators, implemented a new request for prosecution form, discussed with staff a written code enforcement policy, and evaluated my ability and the prosecutorial costs of code enforcement. This analysis has gone as far as it can without some policy dir- ection from the City Council as to what Atascadero needs in a code enforcement effort. This memo requests such direction. First, I believe a written "Code Enforcement Policy" should be adopted by the City Council to guide staff in its code compliance effort. This should insure that the Council' s desires are ful- filled and insure that all violators are treated equally. The attached draft has been reviewed by staff and is submitted for City Council approval. Second, I have spoken with Attorney Roy Hanley about possibly • retaining his services as city prosecutor. He is willing to MEMO: City Council • DATE January 9, 1990 SUBJ: Code Enforcement assume this responsibility for $100.00 an hour. This is less than what it would cost the City for me to be prosecutor. I recommend that his services be retained immediately in that some prosecution matters require immediate attention. I would still monitor Mr. Hanley' s efforts and provide backup if required. In sum, I believe implementation of these recommendations will start our code enforcement effort anew and address the substan- tial backlog. I await your input on this matter. Sincerely, w AR R. MONTANDON City Attorney ART:fr/cw Attachment Enclosure • • CITY OF ATASCADERO CODE ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM POLICY GOAL: To achieve and maintain compliance with 'Laws , regulations; and conditions imposed by the City of Atascadero, thereby promoting a safe; Healthy and attractive community. Atascadero' s code- enforcement program is to achieve and maintain compliance in a fair and even-handed manlier. other goals, including partial cost recovery through obtaining fines, sliould be sought only when they will further the primary goal, and/or offset the public cost of the enforcertient Urogram. POLICY : 1 . Reported Violations . Aliened violations of the Atascadero Municipal" Code ( "Code" ) or other City conditions or regulations should be pursued according to the following guidelines : a. Pursue alleged violations involving immediate health or safety hazards or which are quickie established and removed fe.g. ; traveling shows and sales; without the heed for a complaint. b. Pursue alleged violations involving pubic welfare issues only after receiving a comi)laint. Complaints will nor Ria"y come directly from citizens; from officials on behalf of cltlzens , or from staff as a consequence of observations in the normal course of duties (e.g. inspections and permitting) . 2 . investigation Procedure . The first step in pursuing an alleged violation is investigation to verify whether a violation exists . Investigation of an alleged violation should result in information which will aid Code Enforcement personnel in disposing of an alleged violation as unfounded, gai-ning compliance, or prosecuting if necessary. The infor- lliation should be organized into a report format which includes : a. Name( s) and address (es) of people or entityiiesi allegedly in violation: b. Location of the violation; C . Date violation was observed and by whoiii; d Specific Code Section k s T regulation(s) or condition( s allecied1v violated,: e . How the above was or were violated.: and f . Other information as useful and appropriate. If unable to verify a violation, code-enforceivient personnel should notify the comulain-'Lna party and ( if contact has been made) the alleged violators . if an all-eued violation is verified, code-enforcement personnel should ordinarily give a warning notice, in the form of Exhibit "A" . to all persons responsible to correct the violation. The notice- should specify a reasonable time to comiulv and exulain the corn-oliancI e alternatives and how to achieve them. Alternatives for compliance will normally include removal of items or ending the activity causing the violation, as well as taking corrective actions to bring the items or activity into compliance . 3 . Citations - Except in cases involving health hazards, safety Hazards or repeated violations . citations should be reserved for violations which -oersist after the reasonable time for compliance, specified in the warning notice, has elapsed. (City Attorney to be contacted prior to citation' After issuing a citation, the Code Enforcement officer 7' should immediately submit a com-olete report on the case, a duplicate of the citation.. and the officer' s recommendaion whether the case should be filed as an infraction or a misdemeanor to the Citv Attornev' s Office. The report should clearly identify persons not cited but also potentially responsible for the violation and the reasons why these persons were not cited. 4 . Confidentiality.

DEPARTMENT SPECIAL DIST TS ADMNNISTRATOR - ROADS TRANSPORTATION FLOOD CONTROL December 27, 1989 WATER CONSERVATION COUNTY SURVEYOR SPECIAL DISTRIM Mr. Ray Windsor SOLID WASTE City Administrator City of Atascadero 6500 Palma Ave. Atascadero, CA 93422 Subject: Water Resources Advisory Committee Member Representing City of Atascadero Dear Mr. Windsor: • There is a County Water Resources Advisory Committee composed of members representing the seven Cities, the major water purveyors in the County , including the public districts as well as private entities that serve water, the environmental interests, the resource conservation districts, and other broad spectrum water interests of the County . The bylaws of the Committee call for each City to have a member, and an alternate member if they so desire, on the committee. The usual procedure is for the City Council to make a recommendation as to who they wish to have represent their City and send that along for the Board of Supervisors consideration for an appointment. Although the City of Atascadero does not have a water department, it would still be appropriate for the City to be represented on the Water Resources Advisory Committee because of its plannino functions. The Atascadero Mutual Water Company is also represented by one of their Board members and as an alternate, their water superintendent. In the past- the City has designated their public works director as the member with the City Administrator as the alternate member, but this need not be the case for the future if the City does not desire it to be that way . Would you please ask the City Council to consider whether or not they wish to have the City of Atascadero represented on the • County ' s Water Resources Advisory Committee, and if so, who they wish to represent the City . For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the bylaws of the . Water Resources Advisory Committee. The Committee meets reqularly on the first Wednesday of each month here in the City of San Luis Obispo, generally at 1 :30 p.m. with the exception that no meetinqs are normally scheduled for the months of July and Auqust.
