Proposed Parcels
Parcel 1
Gross Area: 1.5 acres
Net Area: 1.45 acre
Parcel 2
Gross Area: 1.5 acres
Net Area: 1.45 acre
The existing parcel is developed with a single-family residence designated as a historic
colony home. The proposed lot configuration allows this home to remain as currently
sited.
Analysis:
Slope. The entire site has an average slope of approximately 9% and is therefore
suitable for the creation of a new lot and has potential for new septic leach fields
consistent with the Atascadero Subdivision Ordinance (Atascadero Municipal Code
(AMC) 11-6.25)
Depth-to-width ratio. The Atascadero Subdivision Ordinance (AMC 11-6.23) limits the
depth-to-width ratio of new lots to 3:1 “unless there is adequate assurance that deep lot
subdivisions and subsequent development will be accomplished without detriment to
adjacent properties.” This subdivision is requesting an exception to the 3:1 ratio
required by code. In this case, the Planning Commission must find that the deep lot
configuration will be accomplished without detriment to adjacent properties. To support
this finding, the applicant has proposed “no -build” easements over the rear portions of
the properties. The no-build easement begins approximately 500-feet back from the
street frontage on Parcel 1 and approximately 270-feet back from the frontage on Parcel
2. Each parcel has an approximately 80-foot wide frontage. The location of the no-build
easement on parcel 2 comes close to meeting the 3:1 ratio in the context of buildable
site area. One Parcel 1, the location of the existing colony home limits the size of the
no-build area.
Each single-family parcel in the City served by on-site septic and greater than 1-acre in
size can accommodate an accessory dwelling unit. As a ministerial action, these
permits cannot be denied as long as all requirements of the building, fire, and
development code are met. This proposed subd ivision would allow for the construction
of one accessory dwelling unit per lot. Any new primary or accessory unit would be
required to fall outside of the no-build easements recorded on each lot.
This map was reviewed by the Design Review Committee. The Committee heard
neighbor testimony that the proposed lot configuration is inconsistent with character of
the surrounding neighborhood. Parcels in the vicinity have frontage widths that range
from 70 to 200 feet. A majority of the lots with narrower frontages are also shorter in
depth. The lot directly adjacent to the south of the proposed subdivision has an
approximately 100-foot frontage with the same depth as the proposed subdivision.
Establishing a principal use. Atascadero Municipal Code Section 9-6.102 requires the
establishment of a primary use before an accessory use may be established. No

ITEM 3 | 11/20/2018
Tentative Parcel Map
SBDV18-0094 / Sanders
Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
accessory structures will be located on proposed Lot 2, therefore, the proposed
subdivision is in compliance with this section.
Conclusion:
The subdivision of 6450 Portola meets minimum lot size requirements set forth in the
Atascadero Municipal Code. The applicant is requesting an exception to the 3:1 width to
depth ratio to accommodate the subdivision. In order to allow for this exception, the
Planning Commission must make a special finding.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The subdivision is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) as a Class 15 exemption for minor land divisions that conform to the General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance, where services and access are available, the lot has not
been involved in another division within the previous 2 years and the average slope is
less than 20 percent. This project meets the listed CEQA exemption qualifiers.
FINDINGS:
To approve Tentative Parcel Map AT18-0087, the Planning Commission must make the
following findings. These findings and the facts to support these findings are included in
the attached draft resolution. A finding to allow the depth to width exception has been
included.
Tentative Parcel Maps
1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the General Plan (Government Code§§ 66473.5

2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development (Government Code§
66474(c)), and
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development

4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. (Government Code § 66474(e)), and
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious
health problems. (Government Code § 66474(f)), and

conditions of approval, should be clearly stated in any vote on the attached
resolution.
2. The Planning Commission may determine that more information is needed on
some aspect of the project and may refer the item back to the applicant and staff
to develop the additional information. The Commission should clearly state the
type of information that is required. A motion, and approval of that motion, is
required to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Planning Commission may deny the project. The Commission must specify
what findings cannot be made and provide a brief oral statement based on the
Staff Report, oral testimony, site visit, correspondence, or any other rationale
introduced and deliberated by the Planning Commission.

Tentative Parcel Map
SBDV18-0094 / Sanders
Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
SECTION 1. Findings for approval of Tentative Parcel Map. The Planning
Commission finds as follows:
1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the General Plan (Government Code§§ 66473.5 and
66474(a) and (b)).
Fact: The General Plan designation for the site is Single-Family Residential with a one and a
half-acre minimum lot size (SFR-Z). The lots created will each be 1.5 acres (gross). They
will also have a General Plan designation of SFR-Z.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development (Government Code§
66474(c)).
Fact: The lots are located along a minor arterial road with utilities, excepting the City sewer,
available. The site is surrounded by similarly-sized, single-family residential properties. The
topography is gently sloped (less than 10% grade).
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development (Government
Code § 66474(d)).
Fact: The proposed lots are each one and a half acre in size. Under current standards, each
lot could have a primary residence, accessory dwelling unit, and two detached accessory
structures. The topography and suitable soil conditions can support the proposed maximum
density.
4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. (Government Code § 66474(e)), and
Fact: The site has previously been used for residential purposes. It does not have significant
tree coverage or water drainage features that might support fish or significant wildlife habitat.
The project will utilize existing roads and will not affect the drainage pattern of the
neighborhood. Future residences are subject to post-construction stormwater requirements
that will prevent significant impact to the watershed.
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious
health problems. (Government Code § 66474(f)), and
Fact: The eventual construction of a single-family residence near the core of the City will
not cause serious health problems.
6. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or
use of property within the proposed subdivision. (Government Code § 66474(g)), and
Fact: No existing easements are affected by this subdivision.

Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
7. The installation of any public improvements deemed necessary prior to recordation of
a Final Map is in order to insure orderly development of the surrounding area
(Government Code § 66411.1(b)(2), and
Fact: Public improvements are largely installed for the site. The tentative map is conditioned
so the applicant will provide a public utilities easement with the map.
8. The subdivision and subsequent development will be accomplished without detriment to
adjacent properties, and
Fact: The neighborhood consists of a range of lot sizes that have been subdivided over time.
Lot frontage width also varies throughout the neighborhood. The creation of an additional lot
will increase residential density by up to two units. Surrounding parcels range in size from
less than a quarter acre to almost 4 acres. A no-build easement is proposed to limit the
buildable are of the site. The General Plan anticipates residential growth in this area and no
detrimental impacts will result from the modified lot configuration.
