Rd (APN 045-401-014); and
WHEREAS, the site's current General Plan Designation is Single -Family Residential
(SFR -Y); and
WHEREAS, the site's current zoning district is Residential Single -Family / Planned
Development Overlay Zone #33 (RSF-Y / PD33); and
WHEREAS, the minimum lot size within the RSF-Y zoning district is 1 acre (gross) for
a new subdivision, consistent with the Atascadero Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the existing site has a gross area of 5.03 acres; and
WHEREAS, the proposed project is consistent with previously certified Mitigated
Negative Declaration 2015-0007; and
WHEREAS, the laws and regulations relating to the preparation and public notice of
environmental documents, as set forth in the state and local guidelines for implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been adhered to; and
WHEREAS, a timely and properly noticed Public Hearing upon the subject Tentative
Parcel Map application was held by the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero, at
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 December 4, 2018, studied and considered Parcel Map AT 18-0123; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero takes the
following actions:
SECTION 1. Findings for approval of Tentative Parcel Man. 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)), and
Fact: The General Plan designation for the site is Single -Family Residential with a one acre
minimum lot size (SFR -Y). The lots created will each be a minimum of 1 acre (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)), and
Fact: The lots are located along a minor arterial road with utilities available. The site is
surrounded by similarly -sized, single-family residential properties and subdivision of this
property into up to 4 parcels was anticipated with the approved PD33 overlay zoning district.
The topography is gently to moderately sloped (less than 20% grade average) and building
envelopes with slopes less than 20% have been identified.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development (Government
Code § 66474(d)), and
Fact: The proposed lots are each one acre in size and the parcel with the existing residence is
2.9 acres. 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 density. The Planned Development Overlay zone
anticipates up to 4 parcels on this site.
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. Consistent with previous approvals, a
biological survey was completed and no sensitive species were found. Additional surveys will
be required should any future construction take place during the spring months.
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 two single-family residences 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: There is an existing access and utility easement located on the subject property that
serves the existing developed residential parcel to the south. This easement will be replaced
by a new access and utility easement allowing access through the adjacent Cerro Robles
development and overlaying the existing shared driveway. The proposed easement is
conditioned to be wide enough to accommodate future development potential of the adjacent
southerly residential parcel.
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
to provide any additional utility easements along the project frontage and to construct a multi-
use pathway as required by PD33.
8. The subdivision and subsequent development will be accomplished without detriment to
adjacent properties.
Fact: Subdivision of the parcel was anticipated with the approval of Planned Development
Overlay Zone 433. Subdivision and subsequent development of this parcel will not be
detrimental to adjacent properties.
