WHEREAS, a timely and properly noticed Public Hearing upon the subject Tentative

which hearing evidence, oral and documentary, was admitted on behalf of said Tentative Parcel
Map; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero, at a duly noticed
Public Hearing held on November 20, 2018, studied and considered Parcel Map AT 18-0087;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero takes the
following actions:
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.
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.

regular meeting assembled on November 20, 2018 resolved to approve Parcel Map AT 18-0087
