Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Temporary Road Closures
Hot El Camino Cruise Nite and Colony Days Parade Route
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Adopt Draft Resolution A authorizing a temporary road closure on Friday, August
17, 2018, for Hot El Camino Cruise Nite 2018 and establishing associated tow-
away and “No Parking” zones, on the dates, times and locations as specified in
the Draft Resolution.
2. Adopt Draft Resolution B creating a temporary Colony Days Parade Route on
Saturday, October 6, 2018, and establishing associated tow-away and
“No Parking” zones and road closures from October 5 – 7, 2018, on the dates,
times and locations as specified in the Draft Resolution.
DISCUSSION:
Annually, the City is involved in two events that require Caltrans Encroachment Permits,
Hot El Camino Cruise Nite and the Colony Days Parade. These events require the
closure of Highway 41 at El Camino Real and the closure of the northbound Highway 41
exit. In order to obtain a Caltrans Encroachment Permit, the City must provide Caltrans
with a detour for Highway 41, which is proposed via Curbaril Avenue and Santa Ysabel
Avenue and a City Council resolution authorizing the closure of El Camino Real and the
other streets affected along the route.
Hot El Camino Cruise Nite:
On Friday, August 17, 2018, City staff is proposing to close the following for the annual
Hot El Camino Cruise Nite, which begins at 6:30 p.m.:
To be closed from 5:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.:
El Camino Real from Curbaril Avenue to Traffic Way
San Luis Avenue from Curbaril Avenue to Pueblo Avenue
Pueblo Avenue from San Luis Avenue to El Camino Real
East Mall from El Camino Real to Lewis Avenue West Mall from El Camino Real
to Lewis Avenue
Page 21 of 58
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 03/27/18
Entrada Avenue from El Camino Real to Lewis Avenue
Traffic Way from El Camino Real to Lewis Avenue
The Hot El Camino Cruise Nite event, coordinated by the Atascadero Police
Department, Recreation Division and the Public Works Department, attracts thousands
of tourists and spectators who line El Camino Real to view the vehicles that participate
in this growing event. Last year there were over 400 vehicles registered.
The following evening, “Dancing in the Streets,” a popular event that debuted in 2016,
will have street closures that will only impact the downtown area from West Mall to
Traffic Way. “Dancing in the Streets” is planned for Saturday, August 18th from
5-10 p.m. A resolution is not needed for this event, as it does not require closures
directly affecting a state highway.
Colony Days Parade:
On Saturday, October 6, 2018, staff is proposing to close El Camino Real, from Curbaril
to Traffic Way, from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., to conduct the annual Colony Days
Parade. The proposed route for this year’s Colony Days Parade remains the same as
last year and is similar to the Hot El Cam ino Cruise Nite route, except that it is only one
way. Additional road closures will be required for parade staging near the southern
starting area. These closures include Pueblo Avenue between Santa Ysabel Avenue
and San Luis Avenue, and San Luis Avenue between Pueblo Avenue and Curbaril
Avenue.
The closures are listed on the Draft Resolutions (Attachments 1 & 2) and on the
proposed route for Hot El Camino Nite Cruise and Colony Days (Attachment 3).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Cruise Nite incurs no net fiscal impact. The cost of putting on the event is
approximately $15,000 in budgeted funds, and it is anticipated that these costs will be
fully recovered through budgeted sponsorships and entry fees.
The Colony Days closure of the parade route is expected to take over 100 hours of
budgeted staff time for road closure applications, set -up and manning the road closure.
Colony Days is a non-profit event co-sponsored by the City.
ALTERNATIVES:
None proposed.

Staff Report – Public Works Department
Parcel Map AT 17-0009 (FMP-2017-0189)
8390 Curbaril Avenue
(Winslow)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Accept Parcel Map AT 17-0009 (Map AT 17-0009).
2. Accept, on behalf of the public, by the Council of the City of Atascadero, the offer
of dedication for a Public Utility Easement.
3. Authorize and direct the City Clerk to endorse the Council’s approval on the Map.
DISCUSSION:
Tentative Parcel Map AT 17-0009 (PLN 2017-1635) was approved by the Planning
Commission on June 6, 2017, by Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 2017-0011.
The Tentative Parcel Map authorized the subdivision of one existing parcel of
1.04 acres into two (2) single family residential lots.
Staff has determined that the Parcel Map (FMP-2017-0189) is in substantial
conformance with the approved Tentative Parcel Map AT 17-0009. Pursuant to
California Government Code Section 66474.1, the approving legislative body (City
Council) shall not deny a Parcel Map provided it finds the Parcel Map is in substantial
conformance with the previously approved Tentative Parcel Map.
Off-site improvements required of the subdivision are limited to new utility services to
serve the second parcel and a based shoulder along the existing ed ge of pavement.
Curbaril Avenue is presently constructed to a full-width roadway consistent with City
standards. These required off-site improvements are deferred to the development of
each parcel as provided for under the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code
Section 66411.1(b)).

Staff Report – Community Development Department
Title 9 Tree Ordinance Update
(PLN 2017-1679)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends Council:
1. Introduce for first reading, by title only, Draft Ordinance A, amending the
Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance: Title 9, Chapter 11 of the Atascadero
Municipal Code, based on findings.
2. Adopt Draft Resolution, amending sections of the Atascadero Native Tree
Guidelines and Standards consistent with the proposed code text amendments.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance was established in 1998 and includes the
process, methods, and findings for native tree protection and removal. The Tree
Ordinance was adopted to protect the oak woodlands that blanket Atascadero while still
allowing for reasonable tree removal when conflicts with development occur or safety
risks arise. The Ordinance is designed to require regeneration of the native woodland
habitat by encouraging replanting of trees when a removal is necessary. Mitigation
funds are collected to fund projects aimed at restoration and revegetation of native
trees.
The Ordinance includes standards and procedures for tree removal when co nstruction
activity is proposed or when trees are within commercial or multi-family areas. The
Ordinance currently requires Planning Commission review and approval for any native
tree proposed for removal that is 24” or greater in diameter. Smaller tree removals may
be approved by staff without Planning Commission review; however, mitigation is still
required.
The City Council has directed staff to evaluate code amendments that will help save
staff time and reduce processing time in an effort to preserve staff resources. An
amendment to the Tree Ordinance to reduce the level of review was suggested since
Page 32 of 58
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 03/27/18
most tree removals do not generate community or Planning Commission discussion.
This amendment would streamline the process by transferring review authority to staff
for most native tree removals, thereby saving staff time, public hearing time, and other
costs associated with the public hearing process.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments, as reflected in Draft
Ordinance B (Attachment 2), on February 20, 2018, and recommended the City Council
adopt amendments to both the Tree Ordinance and Tree Guidelines to reduce the level
of review for tree removal permits and to clarify associated sections of the code. During
the public hearing, members of the Atascadero Land Preservation Society (ALPS)
raised some concerns with the code amendments as presented. Rather than delay the
process for bringing the code amendments to the City Council, the Planning
Commission encouraged staff to work with the Atascadero Land Preservation Society
(ALPS) to discuss and incorporate agreed upon recommendations into the code update
prior to bringing the item to Council. Staff met with ALPS representatives on March 13th
and worked through various issues and concerns. Staff has amended the draft code
language to address ALPS concerns as discussed below and reflected in blue italics in
Draft Ordinance A (Attachment 1).
Analysis:
Chapter 11 of Title 9 of the Atascadero Municipal Code (AMC), known as the
Atascadero Native Tree Ordinance, sets forth procedures for the review of projects that
impact native trees as well as review authority and findings for any native tree proposed
for removal. Currently, all trees measuring 24” diameter at breast height (dbh) or greater
must be brought before the Planning Commission for review and approval. Staff has the
authority to approve native tree removals of less than 24” dbh. All native tree removals
must meet at least one of the five findings listed in the Ordinance, whether approved by
staff or Planning Commission.
Tree removals are generally requested when conflicts arise with proposed new
development or when trees are found to be diseased or dead and become a safety
hazard to adjacent structures or people. Dead or diseased trees are exempt from
removal permit fees, although mitigation payment is still required.
The Atascadero Native Tree Guidelines and Standards were adopted concurrently with
the Native Tree Ordinance. The guidelines provide additional information such as tree
protection and planting details, mitigation fees, and expanded explanation of process es.
The guidelines are adopted by resolution. Amendments to the guidelines are being
proposed to provide consistency with the proposed amendments to the language in Title
9 of the AMC.
The proposed amendments are summarized below:
1. Transfer review authority from the Planning Commission to staff
Proposed amendments would allow native tree removals, except for those trees
designated as Heritage Trees, to be reviewed and approved by staff. Heritage
trees would still be referred to the Planning Commission for review. The same
findings would remain and would be required to be made by staff prior to
approval.
Page 33 of 58
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 03/27/18
2. Establishment of a Heritage Tree List and procedures for removal
There are a number of trees throughout the City that have historic, cultural, or
neighborhood significance that continue to warrant height ened review and public
input. Staff has developed a list of such trees and a procedure for review by the
Planning Commission for any proposed removal. Staff has included this list as
part of the Native Tree Guidelines so that changes can be adopted by resolution
rather than by ordinance. The draft list includes the following trees within public
property:
Deodar Cedar trees in Sunken Gardens.
Oak trees lining East and West Mall.
Sycamore Trees lining Atascadero Avenue between the Atascadero High
School and Curbaril Avenue.
Sycamore trees lining Tecorida Avenue between Marchant Avenue and
San Andres Avenue.
Valley Oak trees at Atascadero Lake Park.
Valley Oak trees lining El Camino Real north of Del Rio Road.
Large Valley and Live Oaks at Paloma Park.
Palm tree at 7095 El Camino Real.
Staff is proposing a procedure for public nomination that will allow trees on
private property to be included on the list. The nomination process requires that
the landowner of the property initiate the nomination and that a deed notification
be recorded to notify any future property owners of the removal process and
restrictions.
3. Clarifying Tree Protection Plan Requirements
An arborist report is currently requested by staff when construction activities
encroach within the dripline of protected trees. Arborist reports can vary widely in
content and format. Staff utilizes very specific information from these reports to
determine native tree impacts. The proposed amendments include specification
of a tree impact chart as part of the Tree Protection Plan , which would eliminate
the need for a full arborist report for a majority of projects received. Most
arborists already include this chart in their reports. This change would
standardize the information that staff receives from the project arborist, reduce
the need for lengthy arborist reports in some cases, and streamline the process.
4. Elimination of Ordinance language related to permit fees for dead or
diseased trees
Currently the Tree Ordinance specifies that permit fees are exempt for the
removal of dead or diseased trees. By switching tree removals to staff for
approval, permit fees will be reduced for trees 24” or greater and removing fee
references in the Ordinance will allow for the City Council to consider full cost
recovery for all tree removals during the next fee update. The amendment would
eliminate the fee exemption for a dead or diseased tree and discourage
applicants and arborists from declaring trees as dead or diseased in an effort to
avoid tree removal fees. Almost any older native tree that is in a state of decline
could be declared as dead or diseased.
Page 34 of 58
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 03/27/18
5. Clarification of Arborist Report Responsibility
Current Code states that when an arborist report is required, the arborist shall be
hired by the City with costs to be reimbursed by the applicant. The City does not
currently use this process. At this time, each applicant hires and manages their
own arborist. The proposed changes simplify this code section and remove
language that requires that the arborist be under City contract. This will allow the
Community Development Director to determine who retains the arborist.
6. Clarification of posting requirements for trees proposed for removal to be
consistent with current City practices
The current ordinance requires that a site be posted for a minimum of 5 days
following approval of a tree removal permit. This 5 day period is intended to be
an appeal period for the tree removal action . This is problematic as a permit has
already been approved for the removal(s) and any appeal would negate the prior
approval. In addition, the current City process combines tree removal permit
approval and building permit approval when tree removals require a staff level
review. Posting the site at building permit issuance does not give neighbors a
chance to appeal before construction begins.
The suggested revisions to the Native Tree Guidelines have been amended to
clarify how trees proposed for removal should be identified on-site. Each tree
proposed for removal must be tagged using brightly colored ribbon or paint.
Enforcing this section of the guidelines will provide visual notification to the
surrounding property owners that tree removals are proposed. In addi tion, staff
has added language to require the site to be posted to notify the community
regarding a proposed tree removal. Further discussion about this change is listed
below.
7. Other minor changes:
Inclusion of the Atascadero Land Preservation Society as a cooperating
organization.
Changes to tree planting requirements for multi-family projects where 1 tree
per unit is not consistent with lot coverage and density standards.
Stakeholder (ALPS) Coordination:
The City met with members from ALPS which is the successor organization to ANTA
(Atascadero Tree Preservation Society). ALPS expressed a number of concerns
regarding the reduction of public noticing as a result of the proposed changes. In
addition, ALPS felt some revisions needed additional clarification. Staff is proposing the
following six amendments to the Ordinance and Guidelines , based on the review with
ALPS:
1. Noticing for Tree Removals: Add language to Section 9-11.105(c)(5) to read as
follows: When a tree removal permit is sought, the lot shall also be posted at a
visible location along the project frontage for a minimum of 15 calendar days
prior to approval. The notice shall be in a form approved by the City.
Page 35 of 58
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE: 03/27/18
2. Appeal language: Add language to Section 9-11.105(d)(1) referencing the
standard appeal process. Any Community Development Department decision
may be appealed to the Planning Commission in accordance with AMC section
9-1.111.
3. Tree Replacement and Regeneration: Re-word to correlate tree replacement
standards to zoning designations and add an exemption for residential units
provided in the downtown zone. (Section 9-11.107)
4. Tree Protection Plan: Add language to ensure that the project arborist certifies
that the tree protection plan is accurate if prepared by a civil engineer or other
design professional. (Section 9-11.106(b) and Section 9-11.104)
5. Heritage Trees: Change process for amendment of the Heritage Tree List and
approval of heritage tree removals from the Planning Commission to the City
Council. (Section 9-11.105(d)(1) and Guidelines 11.16.2)
6. Delete reference to ANTA and replace with ALPS. (Section 9-11.104)
Proposed Environmental Determination
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Section 15061.(3), (b)) exempts
activities which are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects
which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The
proposed text amendment will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts
associated with this project application. Tree removal findings and mitigation
requirements will not change as a result of the text amendments.
Conclusion:
The proposed text amendments are consistent with the General Plan and will help to
streamline the process for native tree removals throughout the City. The proposed
changes will shift the review authority for most native tree removals from the Planning
Commission to staff. In addition, a Heritage Tree list will be established to protect trees
of historic, cultural, or neighborhood significance and set forth procedures for removal
that include public review and input.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Council may modify the text amendments to Draft Ordinance A.
2. The Council may introduce for first reading, Draft Ordinance B, with the text
amendments as presented to the Planning Commission on February 20, 2018.
3. The Council may determine that more information is needed on the proposed
revisions and may refer the item back to staff to develop additional information.
The Council should clearly state the type of information that is required and move
to continue the item to a future date.
4. The Council may deny some or all of the proposed text amendments. The
Council should specify the reasons for denial and recommend an associated
finding with such action.

evaluating each tree removal application:
(i) The potential effect that tree removal could have on topography, knowing that hilltops, ravines,
streambeds and other natural watercourses are more environmentally sensitive than flat or gentle sloping
lands;
(ii) The potential effect that tree removal could have on soil retention and erosion from increased
flow of surface waters;
(iii) The potential effect that tree removal could have on the ambient and future noise level;
(iv) The potential effect that tree removal could have on the ability of existing vegetation to reduce
air movement and wind velocity;
