Staff Report – Public Works Department
2019 Pavement Resurfacing Project Construction Award
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Award a construction contract for $502,665 to American Asphalt South, Inc. for
the 2019 Pavement Resurfacing Project (Project No. C2018R03).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with American Asphalt South,
Inc. for $502,665 for the construction of the 2019 Pavement Resurfacing Project.
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder upon satisfactory completion of the project.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The City of Atascadero maintains approximately 140 miles of roadway, ranging from
small residential roads to major arterials. An important and cost-effective component of
keeping the roadway system in good condition is timely resurfacing treatments on
roadways before the pavement deteriorates to a condition that requires structural
rehabilitation. The City’s Pavement Management Plan (PMP) esta blishes the break
point for resurfacing effectiveness at a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) value of 70 or
above.
The 2019 Pavement Resurfacing Project combines seven separate arterial and collector
streets with a total of 1,086,000 square feet of pavement into a single resurfacing
project. In order to keep costs as low as possible, City staff split out crack sealing
preparatory work into a small separate project that will be completed prior to resurfacing
work beginning. Other work on this project includes removal and replacement of
existing striping. The following table itemizes the roadway segments in the project.

* Widths vary. Dimension shown is average along segment.
**Added section (removed from 2018 ECR North & San Anselmo East project)
Design Analysis:
Design engineering and preparation of construction plans and specifications were
performed in-house by City staff. Staff reviewed the seven roadway segments to
determine actual condition and recommended maintenance measures. Microsurfacing
was selected as the preferred resurfacing method due to the extended life expectancy
and the shorter curing time – which will allow traffic to drive on the treated pavement
surfaces sooner. Typically, microsurfacing is expected to extend the existing pavement
life from four to seven years depending on existing roadway and subgrade conditions.
Given the higher traffic levels on the project roadway segments, inconvenience is
expected to motorists, but traffic delays and lane closure times will be minimized
considerably by utilizing microsurfacing rather than slurry seal or chip seal treatments .
Microsurfacing was used several years ago on El Camino Real between the Von’s
Shopping Center and El Bordo Avenue as part of the high-pressure natural gas
transmission pipeline work done by Southern California Gas Company. The contractor
will be required to prepare a traffic control plan, and City staff will work with the
Contractor to minimize travel delays and impediments to driveways. Property owners
on each roadway segment will be notified of the construction schedule prior to work
beginning.
It should be noted, the portion of San Anselmo Road from El Camino Real to Dolores
Avenue was originally included on the recently-completed El Camino Real (North) and
San Anselmo Road (East) Rehabilitation Project. This section of San Anselmo Road
was scheduled to have a slurry seal treatment but cooler temperatures and winter
weather prevented this work from occurring. Rather than e xtend the project contract an
additional six to eight months, and knowing that a much larger surface treatment project
was scheduled for the same timeframe and in close proximity, this section was removed
from the ECR/San Anselmo project and included with the 2019 Resurfacing Project.
Doing so will provide increase construction efficiency and provide lower overall capital
costs. The budget identified Local Transportation Funds (LTF) to be used on this
section of San Anselmo Road, which is the funding source for this Project.

Bid Analysis:
The project was publicly bid starting March 6, 2019 for a minimum of 30 days in
accordance with State Contracting Laws and Atascadero Purchasing Policy. A public
bid opening occurred on April 10, 2019 and seven bids were received ranging from
$502,665 to $629,106. The bids were reviewed for accuracy and compliance with
project bidding requirements, and the City Engineer has determined that American
Asphalt South, Inc. of Fontana is the lowest responsive bidder at $502,665. The
engineer’s estimate of probable construction costs was $498,000.
The current budget (FY18/19) provides $592,000 in LTF monies for project funding. To
date, only in-house staff time and advertising costs have been expended to the project
and estimated to be under $10,000. Microsurfacing work occurs very quickly compared
to pavement rehabilitation, and there are 30 working days to complete construction.
Additional staff time, material testing, coordination, and inspection fees are anticipated
during construction and estimated to be just over $31,000, or 6% of construction costs.
Given the above costs, this project will be able to stay within the budgeted allocations if
the construction contingency is lowered to 10%. A standard contingency of 20% is
customarily used for capital projects as a safeguard for quantity over-runs and if
unknown conditions are discovered that require a change in plans . The risk for
unknowns drops significantly on roadway projects if excavation is not a part of
construction. In addition, estimated quantities for surface treatment projects such as
this are based upon known pavement surface areas (microsurfacing) and known linear
measurement (pavement markings), therefore the risk for actual versus estimated
quantity deviation drops significantly.
A construction contingency of $50,000, or 10%, will be used for this project. For
comparison, actual contingencies for the last three roadway pavement surface
treatment projects have averaged 3% (FY2015/2016 and FY 2016/2017 Measure F-14
Pavement Maintenance Projects, 1992 Assessment District Project).
Environmental Review:
The proposed project is Categorically Exempt (Class 1) from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations §§
15000, et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because it is limited to
repair and maintenance of existing facilities. A finding of exemption is on fil e in the
project records.

Designation of Downtown (D). Bars and wine tasting facilities are permitted uses within
the downtown zone. No Conditional Use Permit is required.
ABC requires a “letter of necessity or convenience” from the City in order to issue a new
on-sale beer and wine license at 5840 Traffic Way. Section 23958.4 of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Act requires the local governing body to determine that an ABC license
will serve a public convenience or necessity when there is an “Undue Concentration” of

liquor licenses within the impacted census tract. The subject parcel is located in cen sus
tract 125.02 which allows up to thirteen (13) licenses (including license Type 42) within
the census tract. There are currently twenty nine (29) such licenses active in the census
tract. Therefore, Council approval is required to add any additional licenses to the area.
The proposed facility is located in the heart of downtown, which the City Council and the
Zoning Ordinance have identified as a good location for this type of use. Downtown
Atascadero continues to grow as a wine country destination. New restaurants, breweries,
and wine bars help to attract residents and tourists to enjoy the downtown. The applicant
has stated that the proposed facility at 5840 Traffic Way will will be a place for the
community to gather and enjoy local and one of a kind offerings from wineries and
breweries from around the world with a mix of music from vinyl records and cassettes to
live music with small act bands who write and play their own songs.
Staff has reviewed the request and determined that approval of this application, or
conditional approval, would not have significant negative impacts on the downtown and
that the business will be compatible with the character of the downtown.
The Atascadero Police Department has also reviewed the proposed application and does
not have concerns or opposition regarding the issuance of an additional Type 42 license
at this location.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A slight positive fiscal impact expected from increased sales tax.

Staff Report - Public Works Department
Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2019-2020
Funded by SB1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution adopting a list of projects to be funded with Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues from SB 1 (The Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017) for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) provides
new funding for local and state jurisdictions to address roadway
maintenance and rehabilitation needs, as well as other
transportation related projects. This act became law in April 2017
and annual reporting guidelines for local agencies (cities and
counties) were finalized in August 2017. These guidelines describe
annual reporting requirements and processes for local agencies
receiving SB 1 revenues, which primarily involves h aving local agencies identify a list of
projects to be funded with SB 1 revenues each fiscal year and reporting expenditures
for those projects.
The following table is an estimate of the new funding that SB 1 will bring to San Luis
Obispo County region over its first ten years (courtesy California City Finance):
Page 37 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: A-5
DATE: 04/23/19
The State Controller began depositing various portions of this new funding into the
newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) on
November 1, 2017. A percentage of this new RMRA funding will be apportioned by
formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC)
Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects
on the local streets and roads system. RMRA funding will be generated by the following
sources:
An additional 12 cent per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax effective
November 1, 2017.
An additional 20 cent per gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax effective
November 1, 2017.
An additional vehicle registration tax called the “Transportation Improvement Fee”
with rates based on the value of the motor vehicle effective January 1, 2018.
An additional $100 vehicle registration tax on zero emissions (ZEV) vehicles of
model year 2020 or later effective July 1, 2020.
Annual rate increases to these taxes beginning on July 1, 2020 (July 1, 2021 for the
ZEV fee) and every July 1st thereafter equal to the change in the California
Consumer Price Index (CPI).
SHC 2032(h)(2) specifies that 50 percent of the balance of revenues deposited into the
RMRA, after certain funding is set aside for various programs, will be continuously
appropriated for apportionment to cities and counties by the Controller pursuant to the
formula in SHC Section 2103(a)(3)(C)(i) and (ii). The other 50 percent of the balance of
revenues will fund State highways and transportation infrastructure.
The League of California Cities prepared a fact sheet that provides an analysis of the
SB 1 funding deal including revenue sources and allocations. A copy of the fact sheet
is attached to this report (Attachment 2).
Analysis:
SB 1 was designed intentionally to provide the most flexibility to local agencies as to
how to use these funds, but with a “fix it first” approach to roadway improvements.
Annual funds can be used on multiple projects or a single project can be funded with
multiple annual revenues like the El Camino Real (North) project. “Betterment”
improvement projects can be funded with SB 1 funds but require local agency’s
roadway systems to have a comprehensive Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 80 or
higher – Atascadero’s last comprehensive PCI was 47 (2014).
In general, staff recommends directing SB 1 revenues to fund roadway repairs,
maintenance, and rehabilitation on arterial and collector functional classification
roadways. These roadways receive the heaviest use in town and are driven by most of
the public compared to residential functional classification roadways. Furthermore,
Measure F14 funds have been u sed exclusively on collectors and residential roadways.
Arterials and collectors are typically more expensive to repair, support commerce and
business activities, have enhanced improvements (sidewalks, bike lanes, etc.), and
have higher risk for liability if fallen into disrepair. Staff believes committing additional
funding to arterials and collectors will allow the City to continue to improve the busiest
and most visible roads in Atascadero.

ITEM NUMBER: A-5
DATE: 04/23/19
SB 1 guidelines require local agencies to pass a resolution e ach year that identifies a
list of projects for SB 1 funding. The following table summarizes the SB 1 projected and
estimated revenues FY17/18 through FY 19/20.
The City Council used the combined partial first year (FY17/18) and full second year
(FY18/19) revenues toward the El Camino Real (North) Pavement Rehabilitation project
from San Anselmo Road (East) to San Benito Road. The current budget allocated
$708,510 in SB 1 monies to this project, of which an estimated $33,552 of the available
FY19/20 SB 1 funds will go toward funding, leaving an estimated $481,982 left to
allocate. The El Camino Real North project was recently completed in fall 2018.
Staff recommends allocating the remaining FY19/20 SB 1 funds to the El Camino Real
(South) Pavement Resurfacing project. This project involves pavement maintenance
and repairs for 1.90 miles of El Camino Real between the south City limits and El Bordo
Avenue. This section of El Camino Real was partially reconstructed as part of the
Southern California Gas Company’s transmission pipeline project in 2015 -2016 and
begins where the Gas Company’s microsurfacing restoration ended (El Bordo Avenue).
New pavement markings will be installed and will improve lane identification and overall
aesthetics. This project is currently estimated to cost between $800,000 to $1,200,000
and is scheduled for construction in FY20/21. It is anticipated that future SB 1 funds will
also be allocated toward this project.
Conclusion:
The attached Draft Resolution (Attachment 1) will provide the necessary documentation
required to be included with the submitted project list to the California Transportation
Commission (CTC), which is due May 1, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact is anticipated from approving the recommendations in the staff report
and the Draft Resolution.

SB 1 $5.2 Billion Transportation Funding Deal Analysis
Background:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB 1 (Beall), a historic transportation funding plan generating
$52 billion over the next decade. For the last 10 years, the League of California Cities has been ringing
the alarms about the poor conditions of our local streets and roads. Beginning with a report in 2008,
the League partnered with the California State Association of Counties and regional governments to
review local conditions statewide through the biennial needs assessment report. What we found in
2008 remained true in the 2016 report, that there is over $70 billion in unmet funding needs for the
local transportation network over the next 10 years and that absent any new funding, that need would
have grown by another $20 billion.
In addition to the shortfall for the local network, the state highway system faced a similar backlog
exceeding $59 billion over the next 10 years, with similar shortfalls for transit as well. In short, each of
these shortfalls would have continued to grow and transportation infrastructure would have continued
to deteriorate. Therefore, securing funding for transportation, especially for our city streets was the
League’s top strategic priority for a number of years. In partnership with other local governments,
business, and labor, the League formed the Fix Our Roads Coalition and pushed for SB 1 to make it
across the finish line.
With 25 years of no new federal transportation funding, increased vehicle fuel efficiency standards,
decades of lost purchasing power due to inflation, and severe storms finally taking their toll to wipe
out aged infrastructure, 2017 represented the cu lmination of a perfect storm for the overdue passage
of the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Summary:
SB 1 represents a comprehensive reform and funding package, providing significant infrastructure
investments across all modes of transportation. For local streets and roads, cities and counties will
receive an additional $1.5 billion for road maintenance and rehabilitation, doubling the amount local
agencies receive to make overdue safety and road improvements upon full implementation.

Allocations
Revenues will provide the following projected annual allocations:
• $1.5 billion for State Highway System maintenance and rehabilitation (continuous
appropriation).
• $1.5 billion for Local Streets and Roads maintenance and rehabilitation (continuous
appropriation).
• $1.1 billion restoration of the State Transportation Improvement Program for capital projects
and improvement on the state’s highway system.
• $750 million for Public Transportation to improve transit operations and capital improvements.
• $400 million for Bridges and Culverts.
• $300 million for freight, trade corridors, and goods movement in the newly created Trade
Corridor Enhancement Account.

• $5 million for Preapprenticeship Programs for five years to assist local agencies implement
policies to promote preapprenticeship training programs.
• $706 million in Loan Repayments which must conclude by June 30, 2020 in the following
amounts1:
o $225 million allocated to local streets and roads using existing Section 2103 formulas;
o $256 million to the Public Transportation Account, of which up to $20 million goes to
local and regional agencies for climate change adaptation planning; and,
o $225 million to the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP).
Revenue Generation (Approximate)
• $1.8 billion from a 12-cent increase to the gasoline excise tax and annual adjustments to the
current base gas tax and increase for inflation (effective November 1, 2017). The revenue
generated from this particular increase would help restore the gas tax’ lost purchasing power
due to inflation. The funds attributable to the 12-cent increase would be transferred to the
newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) for distribution. The first
adjustment for inflation is scheduled for July 1, 2020.
1 These are one-time loan repayments and will conclude in 2020.

• $1.1 billion from ending the Board of Equalization (BOE) “true up” and resetting the rate to
the historical average of 17.3 cents per gallon, adjusted annually for inflation (effective July 1,
2019). This provision would “reset” the priced based excise tax on gasoline to its original rate of
17.3 cents. The first adjustment for inflation is scheduled for July 1, 2020.
• $1.6 billion from a transportation improvement fee, adjusted annual for inflation (effective
Spring 2018). This new fee would be used for the research, planning, construction,
improvement, maintenance, and operation of public streets and highways (and related facilities
to support nonmotorized traffic). It will be collected with the existing vehicle registrati on fees.
The amount of the fee will be based on the market value of the vehicle:
Car Value Amount Paid
Under $5,000 $25
$5,000-$24,999 $50
$25,000-$34,999 $100
$35,000-$59,999 $150
Over $60,000 $175
The fee will be adjusted for inflation beginning July 1, 2020.
• $600 million from a 20 cent per gallon increase to the diesel excise tax, adjusted annually for
inflation (effective November 1, 2017). Fifty percent of the funds attributable to the 20 cent
increase to the diesel excise tax would be transferred to the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund
(TCIF). The remaining 50 percent would go to the newly created RMRA. The first adjustment for
inflation is scheduled for July 1, 2020.
• $300 million from a 4-percentage point increase to the diesel sales tax (effective November 1,
2017). The funds generated through the additional 4-percentage point increase to the diesel
sales tax. The State Transit Assistance Program would receive revenues from a 3.5 percentage
point increase, and the remaining would go to intercity rail and commuter rail purposes.
• $20 million from new $100-dollar Vehicle Registration Fee on zero emission vehicles model
year 2020 and later, adjusted annually for inflation (effective July 1, 2020). This provision will
apply to new ZEV’s sold after January 1, 2020 and help make up for the fact that owners of zero
emission vehicles do not pay any gas tax to maintain the roads they drive on. Revenues would
be deposited into the RMRA for distribution. The first adjustment for inflation is scheduled for
January 1, 2021.
• $706 million from Loan Repayments. $706 million one-time funds for transportation loan
repayments which will be repaid proportionately and in equal installments over three years.
These funds were originally loaned from the Transportation Congestion Relief Program, which is
being closed out (see Other Provisions section below).

Reforms
• Constitutional Protections for New Sources of Transportation Revenue
Along with the passage of SB 1, the legislature also qualified by a supermajority vote, a
constitutional amendment in ACA 5 (Frazier, 2017) that will appear on the June 2018 ballot. If
approved by the voters, this measure would prevent the legislature from diverting or borrowing
any of the funds generated by the new Transportation Improvement Fee and new increases to
the diesel sales tax and guarantee that these funds can only be used for transportation
purposes.
• Gives the California Transportation Commission (CTC) additional oversight authority over the
State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP). Requires Caltrans to submit
additional information on the proposed capital and support budget for projects included in the
SHOPP to the CTC for approval. CTC will be required to allocate capital outlay support
resources by project phase. As part of the CTC’s review of the proposed program, they must
hold at least one hearing in southern California and one hearing in northern California. In
addition, CalTrans will be required to receive approval from the CTC for increases in capital or
support costs above the initially approved allocation.
• Requires transparency from local agencies on what projects they fund with new revenues.
Cities and counties are required to submit a list to the CTC, before and after expenditure, of the
projects proposed to be funded. The list must be adopted via resolution at a regular meeting
and include a description and location of the project, a proposed schedule of completion, and
the estimated useful life of the project. Likewise, transit agencies will be required to submit to
CalTrans a similar list of projects proposed to be funded and projects completed through the
State Transit Assistance Program. Local agencies must submit lists for funding eligibility.
• Creates Independent Office of Audits and Investigations at CalTrans. Its role will be to ensure
that state and external entities that receive state and federal transportation funds are
operating efficiently, effectively, economically, and in compliance with applicable federal and
state requirements. External agencies include (but are not limited to) private for profit and
nonprofit organizations, local transportation agencies, and other local agencies that receive
transportation funds either through a contract with the department or through an agreement
or grant administered by the department. The director of the office, who will have the title of
Inspector General, will serve a six-year term and be appointed by the Governor with Senate
confirmation.
• Creates an Advanced Mitigation Program for transportation projects. The bill creates the
Advance Mitigation Program to enhance communications between CalTrans and stakeholders
to protect natural resources through project mitigation, to meet or exceed applicable
environmental requirements, to accelerate project delivery, and to fully mitigate environmental
impacts from transportation infrastructure projects. CalTrans is required to consult with the
Department of Fish and Wildlife on activities. CalTrans will be required to set aside at least $30

million annually for four years from the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and
SHOPP to fund the program.
• Requires “complete streets” to be included in the Highway Design Manual. The bill requires
CalTrans to update the Highway Design Manual to include the “complete stre ets” design
concept (emphasizes safety and access for all users, including pedestrians and bicycles) no later
than January 1, 2018.
• Requires CalTrans to double the dollar value of its contracts awarded to small businesses.
CalTrans is required to develop a plan increases by up to 100 percent the dollar value of
contracts and procurements awarded to small businesses, disadvantaged business enterprises,
and disabled veterans business enterprises. Outreach must also target minority and women
business enterprises. The plan must be developed by January 1, 2020.
• CalTrans Efficiency Measures. CalTrans is required to implement efficiency measure with the
goal to generate at least $100 million annually in savings, and must report these savings to the
CTC.
Additional Details on Local Streets and Roads and SHOPP Allocations
Funds made available from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (which includes the
Local Streets and Roads allocations) have several requirements cities should be aware of.
• Eligible Uses. Funds made available by the program can be used (1) to satisfy match
requirements of a state or federal program or (2) for projects that include, but are not limited
to, the following:
o Road maintenance and rehabilitation.
o Safety projects.
o Railroad grade separations.
o Complete street components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and
bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects
in conjunction with any other allowable project.
o Traffic control devices.
If a city’s or county’s pavement condition index meets or exceeds 80, they may use the funds
for other transportation purposes.
• Maintenance of Effort. Cities and counties must maintain their existing commitment to
transportation funding. The commitment must not be less than the average expenditures in
2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 fiscal years.
• Recycling Techniques. To the extent possible and cost effective, and where feasible, agencies
must use advanced technologies and material recycling techniques that reduce the cost of
maintaining and rehabilitating the streets and highways, and that exhibit reduced levels of

• Advanced Automotive Technologies. To the extent possible and cost effective, and where
feasible, agencies must use advanced technologies and communications systems in
transportation infrastructure that recognize and accommodate advanced automotive
technologies that may include, but are not necessarily limited to, charging or fueling
opportunities for zero-emission vehicles, and provision of infrastructure-to-vehicle
communications for transitional or full autonomous vehicle systems.
• Climate Change Adaptation. To the extent deemed cost effective, and where feasible, in the
context of both the project scope and the risk level for the asset due to global climate change,
agencies must include features in the projects funded by the program to better adapt the asset
to withstand the negative effects of climate change and make the asset more resilient to
impacts such as fires, floods, and sea level rise.
• Complete Streets. To the extent beneficial, cost effective, and practicable in the context of
facility type, right-of-way, project scope, and quality of nearby alternative facilities, and where
feasible, agencies must incorporate complete street elements into projects funded by the
program, including, but not limited to, elements that improve the quality of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities and that improve safety for all users of transportation facilities.
• Preapprenticeship Programs. The California Workforce Development Board will develop
guidelines for agencies receiving funds to participate in, invest in, or partner with new or
existing preapprenticeship training programs. All agencies receiving funds must meet the
guidelines by July 1, 2023. Grant recipients are required to outreach to various individuals who
may be eligible to participate in preapprenticeship training programs.
Other Provisions
• Closes out the Traffic Congestion Relief Program (TCRP). All projects without an approved
application as of June 30, 2017, for the TCRP will no longer be eligible for funding. Also repeals
related provisions in law that authorized the use of tribal gaming compact revenues to partially
repay $1.2 billion in loans from the TCRP to the state’s General Fund.
• Establishes “safe harbor” timelines for allowable use of commercial vehicles. Establishes
timelines for the useful life of commercial vehicle (trucks) until the later of either (1) thirteen
years after model year of the original certification of the engine and emission control system or
(2) when the vehicle reaches 800,000 vehicle miles or 18 years after the model year of the
original certification of the engine and emission control system. However, the new law does
not restrict the authority of (CARB) or local air quality districts. CARB is required to evaluate the
impact of this provision by January 1, 2025.

Staff Report - Community Development Department
Title 9 and Title 11 Planning and Zoning Text Amendments
Annual Code Update
ZCH19-0023
RECOMMENDATION:
Council introduce for first reading, by title only, the Draft Ordinance amending the
Atascadero Municipal Code, Title 9 Planning & Zoning, Section 9 -1.110 Public hearings,
Section 9-3.330 Nonresidential district allowable land uses, Sections 9-3.340 through
9-3.345 and 9-3.348 through 9-3.349 Property development standards, Section 9-6.112
Farm animal raising, Section 9-6.174 Seasonal or temporary sales, Section 9-12.104
Required approvals and Title 11 Subdivisions, Section 11-4.06 Noticing of planning
commission hearing on tentative map and determining this Ordinance is exempt from
review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
DISCUSSION:
At a public hearing held on April 9, 2019 the Council reviewed proposed text
amendments to Titles 9 &11 of the Atascadero Municipal Code. During the meeting
Council directed staff to amend some of the proposed changes and continued the public
hearing to the April 23, 2019 Council meeting for further review/discussion. The text
amendments proposed at the April 9, 2019 meeting included changes to the land use
table for commercial zoning districts that would shift all outdoor dominant uses to a use
permit process regardless of size. After discussio n, Council directed staff to eliminate
this proposed use permit requirement and maintain these uses as allowable in each
zone with increased clarity related to the use permit trigger if outdoor storage or sales
area occupies 10,000 square feet of the site or greater.
Throughout the commercial use chart (Table 3-2 – Nonresidential Use Table Allowed
Land Uses and Permit Requirements, as identified in Attachment 1, Exhibit B ) staff has
added footnotes to clarify the requirement to obtain use permit approval when outdoor
storage or sales areas reach or exceed 10,000 square -feet. Since the uses in question
generally trigger a use permit based on the nature of the use, and specifically in the
CPK zone - the size of available parcels, staff is proposing splitting these uses into two
categories in the use table to clearly designate the use permit trigger based on outdoor
use area.

These changes have been made to Farm Equipment and Supplies, Horticultural
Specialties, Building Materials and Hardware, and Contract Construction Services for all
zoning districts where they are allowed or proposed to be listed as an allowable use.
ALTERNATIVE:
As an option, Council may consider reducing the amount of outdoor storage and display
of items within all commercial zones to 5,000 square feet unless a conditional use
permit is obtained. The current outdoor storage limitation is 10,000 squa re feet without
conditional review.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report - Community Development Department
Title 9 and Title 11 Planning and Zoning Text Amendments
Annual Code Update
ZCH19-0023
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Commission recommends Council:
Introduce for first reading, by title only, Draft Ordinance amending the Atascadero
Municipal Code, Title 9 Planning & Zoning and Title 11 Subdivisions, Section 9-6.112
farm animal raising, Section 9-3.330 nonresidential district allowable land uses, Section
9-6.174 seasonal or temporary or seasonal sales, Section 11-4.06 noticing of Planning
Commission hearing on tentative map, Section 9-1.110 public hearings, Section 9-3.340
through Section 9-3.345 and 9-3.348 through 9-3.349 property development standards,
and Section 9-12.104 required approvals, based on findings and determining that this
Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
In August of 2016, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt a
substantial update to the zoning regulations, which included changes to land use
definitions and “clean-up” of inconsistencies between the Atascadero Municipal Code
(AMC) and the General Plan. In September of 2016, the City Council approved these
amendments. At that time, staff noted that an annual update of the zoning regulations
may be essential to continue to keep the document responsive to the community while
continuing to refine consistency with the General Plan in addition to streamlining the
development review process. An annual update and refinement was completed in 2017.
However, due to limited staffing and heavy workload, the 2018 update is just now being
completed. This amendment aims to clarify a number of inconsistencies, gain closer
alignment with General Plan policies and clarify land uses such as storage uses and
fuel station uses within commercial zones.

Analysis:
The proposed text updates/clarifications are included below:
1. Animal Density Standards for Youth Projects
(Section 9-6.112 Farm animal raising)
The AMC currently allows, through approval of an Administrative Use Permit
(AUP), farm animal raising associated with youth projects to occur on lots that
are slightly smaller than the minimal site area normally required. This permit
process currently costs almost $1,000 and requires a public hearing. The City
recognizes that this process is too onerous for many youth and their families to
go through and deters compliance with the requirements.
The AUP process allows for one additional animal equivalency unit OR a slightly
smaller required parcel size for youth projects meeting the required criteria
outlined in the AMC. Where a one-acre minimum lot size is usually required, the
exception allows youth projects on a ¾ acre lot. The exception also allows for
one additional large animal on a lot one acre in size or greater.
The City understands that raising farm animals, even for the short period of time
required for most Youth Projects, can have negative impacts on the surrounding
neighbors. While the proposed text changes eliminate the need for an
Administrative Use Permit, the Youth Projects will still need to comply with the
standardized requirements currently included in the AMC Sect ion 9-6.112. The
standardized requirements include:
Reduction of the minimum lot size by up to 25% OR one additional large
animal or equivalent number smaller animals
There must be a responsible adult supervisor for the project
All other standards of Section 9-6.112 Farm Animal Raising must be
adhered to which include setbacks to animal enclosures, maintenance,
and any special standards.
All animals on the site have to be owned by the residents of the property
There have been no prior complaints about the youth’s ability to meet the
standards of the section.
2. Mobile Food Vending
(9-3.330 Nonresidential district allowable land uses & 9-6.174 Seasonal or
temporary sales.)
The current zoning chart (AMC 9-3.330 Table 3-2, Attachment 2) restricts mobile
food vending to private property only; however, the public safety code allows
vendors to stop in the right-of-way for a period of fifteen minutes or less if hailed
by a patron. With the growth of the food truck industry and trends toward using
food trucks to supplement permanent businesses, staff is proposing code
changes to provide greater flexibility for the use of food trucks consistent with the
vehicle code and temporary event requirements. Food trucks that are more
permanent in nature will not be affected by the proposed code amendments and
Page 68 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE:
ATTACHMENT:
04/23/19
2
will remain governed by any applicable building code and commercial
development requirements.
The proposed code amendment allows food trucks to stop in the right-of-way
consistent with vehicle code and be used in association with commercial
temporary events where parking in the right-of-way outside of the travel lanes is
requested. The proposed change most directly affects downtown businesses that
have limited on-site parking areas. The code amendments will allow food trucks
to park in on-street parking spaces with the approval of a temporary event permit
and encroachment permit.
Additional code modifications have been included to comply with new State law
related to sidewalk vending. In accordance with new State law, cities cannot
prohibit sidewalk vending as long as certain health and safety conditions are
adhered to. There are two sidewalk vendor criteria in the existing City code that
are in conflict with this new State law. The first requires sidewalk sales to be
conducted by the merchants of shops abutting the sidewalk . Per new State law,
any person compliant with State and local regulations is allowed to vend goods
from the sidewalk. Secondly, the existing code limits sidewalk or temporary sales
to no more frequently than one (1) two (2) day period in every ninety (90) days.
State law does not allow this level of restriction on sidewalk sales businesses.
These two criteria are proposed for deletion.
Staff is also proposing to change the permit language for sidewalk sales from
“encroachment permit” to “City permit”, which will allow the City flexibility in
defining the process as a policy and program are established in the future. The
proposed code text also eliminates restricting sales to commercial zones as this
is inconsistent with State law.
3. CPK Storage Uses / Commercial Retail - Vehicle Storage Use, Fueling Stations
(9-3.330 Nonresidential district allowable land uses.)
The 2016 and 2017 zone text amendments focused on ensuring that uses for
each zone remain consistent with the intent of the General Plan. The
Commercial Park and Commercial Retail zoning districts are the City’s most
visible properties and the most valuable in terms of commerce and reflection of
quality. These properties line El Camino Real and Highway 101 and give
Atascadero its character. Zoning amendments are needed to ensure that the
Commercial Park and Retail zones remain available for quality projects that
support the local economy while still reflecting the City’s unique character and
staying true to the General Plan.
Currently, the Zoning Ordinance allows industrial and storage uses to occupy the
areas along Highway 101. However, the zoning also requires that any land use
that includes 10,000 sf or more of outdoor storage automatically require a
conditional use permit. This discrepancy commonly creates misunderstandings
and results in land uses being established in locations not intended by the
General Plan. Instead, uses such as construction yards, vehicle storage,
Page 69 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE:
ATTACHMENT:
04/23/19
2
contractor’s yards, and similar high intensity uses that involve little or no public
visitation, low employee counts, and high amounts of outdoor st orage should be
subject to conditional approval and are more suitable in Service Commercial and
Industrial zones.
The General Plan envisions the Commercial Park (CPK) zoning district for indoor
land uses that involve office parks, tech companies, small scale manufacturing,
and business park developments. The entirety of the zoning designation is
located at the north end of the City (north and south of Del Rio Road) between
El Camino Real and Highway 101. This district was not intended to be utilized for
outdoor storage or contractor’s yards.
The Commercial Retail (CR) zoning district dominates a majority of El Camino
Real and is envisioned to accommodate shopping and customer based service
uses that have a high degree of interaction with the public. There are a few uses
listed in the current use table that do not support this goal. Instead, such uses
are more appropriate in the Commercial Service, Industrial, or other zones,
preserving our valuable retail land for restaurants, retail, light services, and
mixed-use projects.
In order to preserve the intent of the General Plan, the following uses are
proposed to be modified:
Change building materials and hardware, contract construction services,
farm equipment and supplies, and horticultural specialties, from an
allowed use to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the Commercial
zones. This will allow for use permit review for uses that have an outdoor
storage component, and will allow the incorporation of appropriate
property development standards to ensure quality appearance.
Add horticultural specialties as an allowed use in the Industrial and
Industrial Park zone where large outdoor operations are appropriate.
Change service stations from an allowed to a conditionally allowed use
in the Commercial Tourist zone. Service stations generally have traffic
and aesthetic concerns that necessitate additional review to ensure
neighborhood compatibility.
Remove vehicle and equipment storage, fuel dealer uses from the CR
zone. These uses are appropriate in Commercial-Service and Industrial
zones.
Change fuel dealer to a conditional use permit in the CPK zone to allow
for additional review of outdoor storage spaces.
Change medical extended care services and assisted living
developments to conditional use permits to allow for review of
surrounding use compatibility.
Eliminate medical extended care services and assisted living
developments from the Commercial Service zoning districts for
consistency with the General Plan which calls for intensive retail or
service uses such as lumber yards, auto sales, wholesaling, equipment
repair, and other non-pedestrian oriented uses.

Eliminate medical extended care services and assisted living
developments from the Neighborhood Commercial zoning districts for
consistency with the General Plan which calls for small markets, salons,
and smaller scale personal services.
For all commercial zones, notes clarifying the requirement for conditional use
permit approval if outdoor storage is equal to or greater than 1000 -square feet
are proposed as follows:
Accessory Storage, general retail, fuel dealer, collection stations,
building materials and hardware, vehicle and equipment storage, winery
– production, printing & publishing, winery – boutique, wholesaling &
distribution center.
The City is also currently preparing a plan for the El Camino Corridor that will
look at appropriate uses and zoning designations for a major ity of the properties
along El Camino Real. It is anticipated additional changes will be proposed in the
future Citywide General Plan update based on the recommendations of this plan.
This minor update is a first step in ensuring that uses listed for the retail district
achieve the goals and vision that are already described in the current General
Plan.
4. Lot Posting Requirements for Subdivisions
(11-4.06 otice of Planning Commission hearing on tentative map.)
The AMC currently requires sites proposed for subdivision to be posted once the
map is deemed complete. An application for subdivision is deemed complete
once the City receives enough information to complete their analysis. Th e current
AMC posting requirement is an additional step in the process that is unnecessary
and not required by the Subdivision Map Act or other State law. The proposed
text amendment eliminates this additional lot posting requirement. Sites will
continue to be posted prior to any public hearing per state and local
requirements.
5. Neighborhood Notice Radii for Development Projects
(9-1.110 Public hearings.)
The California Environmental Quality Act and the Atascadero Municipal Code
require noticing to all owners within 300-feet of a proposed project boundary. The
AMC increases the noticing radius to 1,000-feet for subdivisions within the RS
zone due to the large lot sizes and need to extend notifi cation beyond the
adjoining parcels. It has been the City’s practice to notice all projects within the
RS zone at the 1,000-foot radius, although it is only technically required for
subdivisions. The proposed update would codify the City’s policy and requi re
1,000-foot noticing for all projects in the RS zone that require a public hearing,
allowing the City to recoup postage costs.

6. Minimum Lot Sizes in Commercial Zoning Districts
(9-3.340 Property development standards, 9-3.341 CN Zone, 9-3.342 CP Zone,
9-3.343 CR Zone, 9-3.344 CS Zone, 9-3.345 CT Zone, 9-3.348 IP Zone, &
9-3.349 I Zone)
The Municipal Code currently does not establish minimum lot sizes in the
commercial zoning districts. This allows for flexible ownership configurations
within larger integrated commercial developments. However, the lack of a
minimum lot size is problematic when commercial subdivisions are used for the
purpose of separating a non-conforming use from a new development or when
subdivisions are proposed without a comprehensive development plan. Resulting
parcels can often be too small to accommodate reasonable uses as envisioned
by the General Plan and as listed in the Zoning Ordinance. This perpetuates
vacant, underutilized, or non-conforming lots to exist with no incentive or realistic
plan to develop. The proliferation of small lots along the City’s commercial
corridor is one of several factors that have reduced the economic potential of our
commercial corridor. Establishing logical minimum lot sizes for commercial
districts will help the City preserve commercial land for the uses that were
envisioned by the General Plan.
The proposed code text establishes a one-half (1/2) acre minimum lot size in the
Commercial Neighborhood, Commercial Professional, and Commercial Retail
zoning districts. The commercial retail zone generally sees uses that are indoor -
focused and have no or limited outdoor use areas. A one-half (1/2) acre minimum
lot size will allow maximum development flexibility while retaining appropriate
land area for parking and other required site improvements.
Staff is recommending a one (1) acre minimum lot size in the Commercial
Service and Commercial Tourist zoning districts. This will ensure tha t uses such
as auto repair and light manufacturing in the Commercial Service zone, and large
scale hotels and restaurants in the Commercial Tourist zone will have enough
site area to accommodate required ancillary improvements.
A two (2) acre minimum lot size is proposed for the Industrial and Industrial Park
zoning districts. Parcels in this zone are intended for larger scale uses that can
have a sizable outdoor component in addition to larger buildings that house
production based and storage uses. A two (2) acre minimum will allow parcels to
be marketable for their intended uses while remaining consistent with the intent
of the General Plan. A similar parcel size minimum for the industrial zones will
help preserve these important income producing parcels in the City to help
sustain our local economy and reduce the potential for these sites to be cut up
into small underutilized lots. Our Industrial zone currently includes several large
parcels that are around Traffic Way, Via Avenue and Sycamore along the Salinas
River.
Within each zoning district, exceptions to the minimum lot size are included for
subdivisions that are part of a planned commercial or industrial center
development. In order to allow for smaller lot sizes in these districts for such a
Page 72 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: B-1
DATE:
ATTACHMENT:
04/23/19
2
planned commercial development, a finding must be made that smaller lot sizes
will not be detrimental to the purpose of the zoning district.
7. Condominium Maps
(9-12.104 Required approvals.)
Section 12 of Title 9 states that tentative and final maps are required for
processing of a condominium map. A tentative map is simply an exhibit that is
submitted to the planning department so that we may review the lot dimensions,
easements and other property issues prior to approval. The final map is the
actual recording mechanism that is recorded at the County recorder’s office.
However, the State’s Subdivision Map Act utilizes different language that
confuses our terminology. The Map Act only uses the term “final map” in relation
to a subdivision that involves five or more lots (otherwise known as a Tract Map),
while the Map Act uses the term Parcel Map to designate the recording
instrument used to finalize either a tract map or a small subdivisio n with less than
five lots.
With this inconsistency between the Subdivision Map Act and City code, even the
well trained planner and City engineer who is accustomed to the terminology
becomes perplexed. The proposed changes simply clarify that Parcel Maps are
included in the review and recordation process for condominium subdivisions as
applicable.
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.
Conclusion:
The proposed text amendments are consistent with the General Plan and are part of an
annual effort to align the zoning regulations with City policy while ensuring the City has
an accurate and legible code. Each year, a series of zoning amendments will be
explored in order to keep the zoning ordinance a “living document” that can be
responsive to economic development and the latest changes to state and local policies.
FISCAL IMPACT
Since the proposed Zoning clarifications are intended to refine consistency with the
General Plan, there is a potential small savings of staff time. Some of the amendments
are intended to streamline processes, thereby reducing staff time and potentially
reducing fiscal impact, while other amendments are intended to clarify zoning for public
use, with the intent of reducing staff interpretation time.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Community Development Department
Sphere of Influence Review
RECOMMENDATION:
Council review the City’s Sphere of Influence and provide staff with feedback towards a
future Sphere of Influence and City/County MOU update.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The City has been working with the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) and the County of San Luis Obispo in reviewing the City’s
Sphere of Influence boundary and Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City
and the County. The Sphere of Influence (SOI) is simply a boundary established outside
of the City limit line that illustrates where the City might grow and where City services
may be extended to. This staff report is intended to facilitate a discussion about the
intent and purpose of the Sphere of Influence, and what options we may have for a
future update to the SOI. This report also clarifies what determinations are required and
what parameters LAFCO uses to establish an SOI.
In 1972, LAFCOs were given the power to determine spheres of influence for all local
governmental agencies. Factors considered in a sphere of influence review focus on the
current and future land use, the current and future need and capacity for service, and
any relevant communities of interest. Simply defined, a sphere of influence is a planning
boundary outside of an agency’s legal boundary that designates the agency’s probable
future boundary and service area. According to the Cortese Knox Hertzberg (CKH) Act
of 2000, every five years, LAFCO shall, as necessary, review and update spheres for all
cities and special districts. The previous review and update of the SOI for Atascadero
occurred in 2011.
The Cortese Knox Hertzberg Act defines an SOI and illustrates its purpose:
“The purpose of the sphere of influence is to ensure the provision of efficient services
while discouraging urban sprawl and the premature conversion of agricultural and open
space lands. The SOI helps to organize and rationalize services and development by
identifying areas that might be reasonably served by a jurisdiction. Commissions
Page 90 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 04/23/19
cannot tell agencies what their planning and land use goals should be. Rather, on a
regional level, LAFCOs coordinate the orderly development of a community by
reconciling differences between agency plans so that the most efficient urban service
arrangements are created for the benefit of area residents and property owners.”
LAFCO establishes a sphere of influence by implementing local policies and preparing a
Municipal Service Review (MSR). A municipal service review provides information about
the services provided by a jurisdiction that help support the Sphere of Influence
decision. The SOI and MSR Update go hand in hand in making decisions about the
SOI. SLO LAFCO is in the third round of updating the 52 SOI’s in the County.
Memorandum of Agreement
LAFCO staff facilitates the development of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
between the County and the City. The MOA can help create a mutual understandin g
regarding the development of unincorporated areas that surround the City. In fact, the
MOA has a greater weight on the treatment of development outside the City’s boundary
than an SOI boundary line. Through the MOA process, specific study areas and
areas of interest are considered by the City and County to determine whether or not
they are in the SOI. Areas of interest may also serve as planning referral boundaries
between the County and City for discretionary land use entitlements. When the County
receives an application for a discretionary review (use permit), the County forwards their
review of the application to the City for comments if it is within the City’s area of interest.
In another example, the current MOA between the City and the County discusses
development in the Eagle Ranch area and requires annexation of the area instead of
development under County jurisdiction. Areas of interest can be reviewed and updated
periodically when a SOI/MSR Update is prepared. Areas of interest can be separate
from study areas, greenbelts, and spheres of influence. Some cities have studied and
identified areas of interest as part of their General Plan update process. Areas of
interest or study areas need not be within a City’s SOI boundary.
Study Areas are used by LAFCO to analyze a specific territory that may be considered
when establishing a sphere of influence. These areas get greater focus and review of
specific criteria. Analysis such as agricultural preservation contracts, prime farmland,
soil classification, crop data and others are gathered to inform LAFCO about the areas’
need for urban services or protection from loss of agricultural and open space to meet
LAFCO’s purpose. It is also important, but not required, that a jurisdic tion has a plan for
the future of a particular Study Area. This plan can be incorporated into the City’s
General Plan.
As mentioned above, LAFCO defines a sphere of influence as, “a plan for the probable
physical boundaries and service area of a local agency, as determined by the
Commission.” Typically, a sphere of influence is the territory a city or district is
expected to annex and supply services to in the future. Thus, spheres of influence are
usually larger in area than the actual boundaries of a city or district, although they can
be the same as the city or district boundaries. It is very important to understand that:
Spheres of Influence do not give a jurisdiction any more legal authority or regulatory
control in a particular area and should not be used as a protective or defensive
boundary.
Page 91 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 04/23/19
However, annexation of land into the City may be made only if the property to be
annexed is already within the sphere of influence of the annexing agency. It is possible,
however, to request an adjustment the City’s sphere at any time, even if it is outside of
the sphere of influence update study period.
LAFCO’s Role, Process, Criteria and Determinations
The CKH Act establishes procedures for local government changes of organization,
including city incorporations, annexations to a city or special district, and city and
special district consolidations. Local Agency Formation Commissions have numerous
powers under the CKH Act, but those of primary concern a re their power to act on local
agency boundary changes and to adopt spheres of influence for local agencies. Among
LAFCOs’ purposes are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of
the orderly formation and development of local agencies. Responsibilities of LAFCO in
areas affecting local government in the county are as follows:
Discourage urban sprawl and encourage the orderly growth and development of
local government agencies
Prevent premature conversion of agricultural and open space lands
Review and approve or disapprove proposals for changes in the boundaries and
organization of the 7 cities, 35 independent special districts and approximately 10
county-governed special districts plus incorporations of cities and formations of
special districts
Establish and periodically update spheres of influence, future boundary,
organization and service plans for the county's cities and special districts
Perform and assist in studies of local government agencies with the goal of
improving efficiency and reducing costs of providing services
The CKH Act specifies the process that LAFCOs must follow and the written
determinations LAFCOs must make in order to update or amend a sphere of influence.
San Luis Obispo LAFCO policies help establish the boundary of the sphere of influence
for cities and special districts within the County. Typically, these exclude parcels
outside an Urban Growth Boundaries and/or Urban Reserve Lines of a jurisdiction.
Some of the following criteria are used when considering the establishment of the
sphere of influence boundary:
Existing uses or future development plans
Size & development potential of parcels or need for services
Topographical & physical considerations and constraints
Jurisdiction’s willingness to serve
Jurisdiction’s ability to serve
Planning principles
Legal agreements

The following written determinations are required by LAFCOs when establishing a

Present and planned land uses in the area, including agriculture, and open space
lands;
Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area;
Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the
agency provides or is authorized to provide; and
Existence of social or economic communities of interest in the area if the
Commission determines that they are relevant to the agency.
The present and probable need for those public facilities and services of any
disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing sphere of
influence.
Conclusion:
LAFCO is currently in the process of evaluating the sphere of influence f or our
Community. This process engages both the City and the County in discussions
regarding the appropriate treatment of properties at the City’s boundaries, along with
the future provisions surrounding annexations. The establishment of a sphere of
influence has many components and criteria that should be considered before forming a
boundary. Each jurisdiction is different and has varying goals and abilities to serve an
area. The SOI/MSR/MOA Update process serves as a good starting point to identify
issues and discuss solutions. The process allows LAFCO to act as a facilitator delving
into the topics and using the information to guide the sphere of influence boundary
decision. At the end of the day, the purpose is to implement LAFCO’s stated legislative
intent while also helping jurisdictions achieve their goals.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a discussion item to start the process of Atascadero’s SOI update and therefore
does not have a fiscal impact. However, the decision to amend the SOI and MOA does
have the potential to create significant fiscal impacts based on the tax exchange
between the City and County, regarding projects developed inside the City or at the
City’s boundary and how each jurisdiction works together to provide services and
accomplish cost recovery.

Memorandum of Agreement 6 City of Atascadero- County of San Luis Obispo
EXHIBIT B
PROVISIONS
The following provisions are agreed to and shall be considered by the City of Atascadero and the
County when guiding development within the proposed Sphere of Influence as described in Exhibit
A and updating their General Plans.
Intent. It is the intent of the County and the City to work cooperatively towards the goal of
developing the agreed upon Sphere of Influence (as shown in Exhibit A) in an orderly and
logical manner consistent with the Cortese/Knox/Hertzberg Act, the City and County General
Plans, the California Environmental Quality Act and any other applicable laws and regulations.
1. Impact Mitigation. In evaluating any proposed development, the agency considering
approval (City or County) should rely solely on its own capability to provide the
required services to that development. The City and the County shall not presume any
services will be provided by the other agency without documenting that such services
will be provided.
Development/mitigation fees needed to offset the impacts from development projects
approved by either jurisdiction in the Referral Area (Exhibit C) shall be collected and
distributed in a fair and equitable manner pursuant to the requirements of impact fee
ordinances, statues and financing plans. Payment of these fees should be made in
proportion to the location and degree of project impacts; however the total fees paid
shall not exceed the cost to mitigate the specific project impact. Mitigation to offset
significant impacts to fire, law enforcement, emergency medical services, water and
wastewater treatment services, roads and streets, other public services, and housing,
should be incorporated into the conditions of approval for projects. Documentation
should be provided that identifies the project’s impacts to both the City and the County
and shall be considered as part of the development review process. The documentation
may be used to prepare conditions of approval and to allocate impact fees where
allowable and as appropriate.
2. Mutual Agreements. The County shall limit the development in the Sphere of
Influence area to that which is allowed by the current land use designations unless
General Plan and land use ordinance amendments are approved. The County and City
acknowledge that the proposed SOI area includes several hundred parcels not under

Memorandum of Agreement 7 City of Atascadero- County of San Luis Obispo
Williamson Act Contracts that could be developed with single-family homes.
Residences and other currently allowable uses may be permitted pursuant to the land-
use policies, standards and ordinances of the County. Recognizing that the existing
Colony lots have entitlements to water supply from Atascadero Mutual Water
Company, it is the intent of the City to provide other services to these areas when they
are eventually annexed to the City. The County shall consider this when reviewing
projects in this SOI area.
Any project proposed in the County and within the proposed SOI area that is subject to
an Initial Study under CEQA, for a City-County staff conference to discuss a proposed
project early in the approval process prior to completion of the Initial Study. The
purpose of the conference would be to discuss the City’s and County’s General Plan
policies with regard to the project and to identify any key issues that may need special
attention.
3. City/County Cooperation. For a County project proposed prior to annexation, the
County and City will cooperate to evaluate the creation and implementation of various
assessment and financing mechanisms for the construction and maintenance of public
improvements, such as roads, utilities, recreation and trail improvements, parks and
open space, and similar improvements that could serve visitors and residents of the City
and the County.
4. Agriculture and Open Space. The City will work to permanently preserve agricultural
and open space resources within the SOI area using conservation easements and/or
other preservation methods or tools. The open space and agriculture areas shall be
identified in the Specific Plan and EIR.
5. Land Uses. The areas included in the SOI as described in Exhibit A may include
residential, mixed-use, public facilities, visitor-serving, agriculture uses, open space,
and/or recreational uses in a manner integrated into the city’s plans for annexation and
development for this area. The Smart Growth Principles adopted in the City’s General
Plan will be used as a basis of preparing plans for the area. The County’s Strategic
Growth Principles will be considered by the City with the purpose of supporting and
complementing the City’s vision for the area. Once annexed, the City’s General Plan
and/or Specific Plan will be implemented for the Sphere of Influence area. The
following goals should be considered in developing the specific plan:

b. Planning for a trail system to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians
which connects to the existing community.
c. Development of a range of housing opportunities and choices.
d. A land use pattern that clusters development in a manner that reduces
environmental impacts.
6. General Plan Amendment. The City intends to complete pre-zoning, pre-annexation,
and any necessary pre-general plan amendment activities prior to or concurrent with an
annexation proposal being processed by LAFCO. The County Staff intends to propose
any necessary amendments to its General Plan in the Salinas River Area Plan to reflect
the annexation of territory to the City of Atascadero.
7. Zoning Requirements/Specific Plan. A Specific Plan, which identifies land uses
within the Sphere of Influence areas, shall be prepared and adopted by the City prior to
the annexation of the property into the City. In accordance with it’s General Plan,
CEQA review of the Specific Plan shall include analysis of issues related to completing
the annexation, such as a reliable and adequate water supply, sewer capacity, and other
services for the proposed project. The Specific Plan for the Sphere of Influence area
shall be prepared consistent with Policy 1.2 of the City’s General Plan. Programs
related to the Sphere of Influence area in the City’s General Plan that shall be
implemented under policy 1.2 include eight, nine, ten, and eleven.

LAFCO Sphere of Influence Review Policies
The CKH Act provides the legislative authority and intent for establishing a Sphere of Influence
and is included by reference in these policies. A Sphere of Influence is the probable 20 -year
growth boundary for a jurisdiction’s physical development. These policies are intended to be
consistent with the CKH Act and take into consideration local conditions and circumstances. All
procedures and definitions in the CKH Act are incorporated into these policies by reference.
1. LAFCO intends that its Sphere of Influence determination will serve as a master plan for the
future organization of local government within the County. The spheres shall be used to
discourage urban sprawl and the proliferation of local governmental agencies and to encourage
efficiency, economy, and orderly changes in local government.
2. The Sphere of Influence lines shall be a declaration of policy which shall be a primary guide to
LAFCO in the decision on any proposal under its jurisdiction. Every determination made by the
Commission shall be consistent with the spheres of influence of the agencies affected by those
determinations.
3. No proposal which is inconsistent with an agency’s adopted Sphere of Influence shall be
approved until the Commission, at a noticed public hearing, has considered an amendment or
revision to that agency’s Sphere of Influence.
4. The adopted Sphere of Influence shall reflect city and county general plans, growth
management policies, annexation policies, resource management policies, and any o ther
policies related to ultimate boundary area of an affected agency unless those plan or policies
conflict with the legislative intent of the CKH Act (Government Code Section 56000 et seq.)
Where inconsistencies between plans exist, LAFCO shall rely upon that plan which most closely
follows the legislature’s directive to discourage urban sprawl, direct development away from
prime agricultural land and open space lands, and encourage the orderly formation and
development of local governmental agencies based upon local conditions and circumstances.

In accordance with the CKH Act a municipal service review shall be conducted prior to the
update of a jurisdiction’s Sphere of Influence. The service review is intended to be a basis for
updating a jurisdiction’s Sphere of Influence.
5. LAFCO will designate a Sphere of Influence line for each local agency that represents the
agency’s probable physical boundary and includes territory eligible for annexation and the
extension of that agency’s services within a zero to twenty-year period.
6. LAFCO shall consider the following factors in determining an agency’s Sphere of Influence:
a. Present and future need for agency services and the service levels specified for the subject
area in applicable general plans, growth management plans, annexation policies, resource
management plans, and any other plans or policies related to an agency’s ultimate boundary
and service area (CKH 56425 (e)(1)).
b. Capability of the local agency to provide needed services, taking into account evidence of
resource capacity sufficient to provide for internal needs and urban expansion (CKH 56425
(e)(2)).
c. The existence of agricultural preserves, agricultural land and open space lands in the area and
the effect that inclusion within a Sphere of Influence shall have on the physical and economic
integrity of maintaining the land in non-urban use (CKH 56426.5 (a)).
d. Present and future cost and adequacy of services anticipated to be extended within the
Sphere of Influence.
e. Present and projected population growth, population densities, land uses, and area,
ownership patterns, assessed valuations, and proximity to other populated areas.
f. The agency’s capital improvement or other plans that delineate planned facility expansion
and the timing of that expansion.
g. Social or economic communities of interest in the area (CKH 56425 (e)(4)).

h. For an update of a Sphere of Influence of a city or special district that provides public
facilities or services related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, or structural fire
protection, a written determination regarding the present and probable need for those public
facilities and services of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing
Sphere of Influence shall be prepared.
7. LAFCO may adopt a zero Sphere of Influence encompassing no territory for an agency. This
occurs if LAFCO determines that the public service functions of the agency are either
nonexistent, no longer needed, or should be reallocated to some other agency of government.
The local agency which has been assigned a zero Sphere of Influence should u ltimately be
dissolved.
8. Territory not in need of urban services, including open space, agriculture, recreational, rural
lands, or residential rural areas shall not be assigned to an
agency’s Sphere of Influence unless the area’s exclusion would impede the planned, orderly
and efficient development of the area.
9. LAFCO may adopt a Sphere of Influence that excludes territory currently within that agency’s
boundaries. This occurs where LAFCO determines that the territory consists of agricultural
lands, open space lands, or agricultural preserves whose preservation would be jeopardized by
inclusion within an agency’s Sphere of Influence. Exclusion of these areas from an agency’s
Sphere of Influence indicates that detachment is appropriate.
10. Where an area could be assigned to the Sphere of Influence of more than one agency
providing needed service, the following hierarchy shall apply dependent upon ability to serve:
a. Inclusion within a municipality Sphere of Influence.
b. Inclusion within a multipurpose district Sphere of Influence.
c. Inclusion within a single-purpose district Sphere of Influence.

In deciding which of two or more equally capable agencies shall include an area within its
Sphere of Influence, LAFCO shall consider the agencies’ service and financial capabilities, social
and economic interdependencies, topographic factors, and the effect that eventual service
extension will have on adjacent agencies.
11. Sphere of Influence boundaries shall not create islands or corridors unless it can be
demonstrated that the irregular boundaries represent the most logical and orderly service area
of an agency.
12. Nonadjacent publicly owned properties and facilities used for urban purposes may be
included within that public agency’s Sphere of Influence if eventual annexation would provide
an overall benefit to agency residents.
13. At the time of adoption of a city Sphere of Influence LAFCO may develop and adopt in
cooperation with the municipality, an urban area boundary pursuant to policies adopted by the
Commission in accordance with Government Code Section 56080. LAFCO shall not consider any
area for inclusion within an urban service area boundary that is not addressed in the general
plan of the affected municipality or is not proposed to be served by urban facilities, utilities,
and services within the first five years of the affected city’s capital improvement program.
14. LAFCO shall review Sphere of Influence determinations every five years or when d eemed
necessary by the Commission consistent with an adopted work plan. If a local agency or the
County desires amendment or revision of an adopted
Sphere of Influence, the local agency, by resolution, may file such a request with the LAFCO
Executive Officer. Any local agency or county making such a request shall reimburse the
Commission for the actual and direct costs incurred by the Commission. The Commission may
waive such reimbursement if it finds that the request may be considered as part of its pe riodic
review of spheres of influence.
15. LAFCO shall adopt, amend, or revise Sphere of Influence determinations following the
procedural steps set forth in CKH Act 56000 et seq.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
Amendment to the Contract Between the City Council of the
City of Atascadero and the Board of Administration of the
California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Adopt Draft Resolution of Intention to approve an amendment to the contract
between the City Council of the City of Atascadero and the Board of
Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System; and
2. Introduce for first reading by title only, the Draft Ordinance authorizing the Mayor
to execute an amendment to the contract between the City Council of the City of
Atascadero and the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees’
Retirement System.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council adopted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Atascadero
Professional Firefighters Local 3600 (AFFA) labor group. The MOU provides that
effective June 22, 2019, all covered employees will receive a 4.05% salary increase and
will begin paying an additional 3% towards retirement costs (Tier 1 and Tier 2
employees only). In order to allow this change to occur, the City must modify its contract
with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).
The change to the amendment would require the CalPERS classic local fire members in
the AFFA to pay 3% employee cost sharing toward the City’s CalPERS retirement rate,
pursuant to Government Code Section 20516.
Amending the contract with CalPERS is a multi-step process. The first step is to adopt
a Resolution of Intention to amend the contract. The second step is to introduce for first
reading the related Draft Ordinance.
If the Resolution of Intention is adopted and the Ordinance is introduced tonight, a secret
ballot election will be held for all affected members covered by the AFFA MOU.
Page 108 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 04/23/19
Following the secret ballot election, the results will be tallied and if there is no protest vote,
the final reading of the Draft Ordinance will be brought before Council on May 14, 2019. If
adopted at that time, staff will certify the Ordinance and complete the amendment process
with CalPERS.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no change to the current or future fiscal impact to the City with the adoption of
the Contract Amendment with CalPERS. This amendment allows the employees to pay
a larger share of the pension costs.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Santa Lucia Road Pavement Rehabilitation Construction Award
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Award a construction contract for $720,527 to Souza Engineering
Contracting, Inc. for the Santa Lucia Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project
(Project No. C2017R03).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Souza Engineering
Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $720,527 for the construction of the Santa
Lucia Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
3. Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to appropriate an additional
$425,000 in Local Transportation Fund (LTF) balance toward the Santa Lucia
Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
4. Authorize the Director of Public Works to file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder upon satisfactory completion of the project.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
Santa Lucia Road is one of the primary connecting roadways within Atascadero,
running east to west from the Downtown core to the western City limits. Santa Lucia
Road varies from a minor arterial to collector functional classification based upon
distance from the Downtown area. This project will reconstruct the most heavily
traveled segment of Santa Lucia Road, between Ardilla Road and Portola Ro ad, which
is also the portion of the road classified as a minor arterial. This segment of Santa
Lucia Road is approximately 4,500’ in length, with a typical width of 26’. Average daily
traffic volumes (as measured by 2014 SLO County counts), vary from approximately
3,750 near Ardilla Road to approximately 2,400 near Portola Road. A map showing the
project limits is shown on the following page.
Page 120 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: C-3
DATE: 4/23/19
The last work done on this segment was a cape seal surface treatment completed as a
part of the 2002-2003 Annual Overlay Program. Cape seals are typically considered to
extend pavement life for 6-8 years, and up to 10 years in ideal situations. Given that it
has now been over 16 years since this work was completed, the cape seal has
exceeded its expected lifespan and is in need of heavier reconstructive efforts as a
result of sustained traffic loading. Fortunately, the entirety of Santa Lucia Road does
not need to be reconstructed due to its thick existing pavement section and relatively
stable subgrade soils.
Rick Engineering was hired by the City to perform engineering design and prepare
construction plans and specifications for the project. Topographic surveying and survey
monumentation was performed by JoAnn Head Surveying and used for engineering
design work. Rick Engineering and its subconsultant, Pavement Engineering, Inc.
(PEI), completed contract work and the project was publicly bid in March 2019.
Design Analysis:
During the design phase, it became evident that large portions of the roadway were
structurally sufficient and could be rehabilitated with a lower cost asphalt mill and
overlay. For portions of the roadway that showed significant subgrade failure, it was
determined that full-depth removal (“digouts”) and replacement (“pave-back”) with six
inches of asphalt concrete should be completed prior to the final overlay. In general,
the section of Santa Lucia Road between Ardilla Avenue to San Andres Avenue has
significant subgrade failure and will require more full-depth digouts and pavebacks than
the section between San Andres Avenue and Portola Road. Prior to full -depth digouts
and pave-backs, the entire pavement will be milled to a depth of 2.75 inches and
overlaid with the same after full-depth and paveback work is completed.
In addition to designing an appropriate pavement section, the long-term success of
roadway pavement performance also relies on providing proper drainage. Additional
asphalt berms will be constructed in various locations to deter roadway edge erosion,
and re-establishing cross-slope grades and re-profiling longitudinal grades on the new

pavement will improve positive drainage and eliminate water ponding. Several
dilapidated and aging corrugated metal pipes crossing Santa Lucia Road will be
replaced with “smooth-walled” corrugated polyethylene pipes to optimize construction
efficiency and avoid future sinkholes in the pavement from failed pipes.
Bid Analysis:
The project was publicly bid starting March 8, 2019 for a minimum of 30 days in
accordance with State Contracting Laws and Atascadero Purchasing Policy. A public
bid opening occurred on April 10, 2019 and six bids were received ranging from
$720,527 to $963,486. The bids were reviewed for accuracy and compliance with
project bidding requirements, and the City Engineer has determined that Souza
Engineering Contracting, Inc. of San Luis Obispo is the lowest responsive bidder at
$720,527.
The current budget includes $578,800 in LTF monies for project funding – much less
than what is needed to complete the project. At the time of budget preparation, project
costs for Santa Lucia Road were calculated based upon its 2014 Pavement Condition
Index (PCI) of 43 - which indicated a light rehabilitation treatment. Since the last PCI
rating, the pavement condition has deteriorated rapidly due to the overextended life of
the cape seal and above normal rainfall during recent winter months, whereby requiring
a medium to heavy rehabilitation treatment. Budgetary amounts do not reflect actual
in-field soils and pavement testing, which can also change the type of pavement
treatment needed.
A medium rehabilitation project unit cost of $62.40 per square yard for this project
(114,125 sq. yds.) equates to $791,500, while a heavy rehabilitation project unit cost of
$85.15 per square yard equates to $1,079,500. Staff reviewed itemized unit prices on
the bid proposals and found them to be reasonable.
Fiscal Analysis:
There has been approximately $80,000 in engineering and surveying consultant fees
and staff time to design and bid the project. Given staff constraints with other projects
and department commitments, staff solicited informal proposals from qualified firms to
perform materials testing and assist with part-time inspection, project administration,
and quality assurance. Three proposals were received and reviewed, and Cannon (with
Earth Systems Pacific as a geotechnical subconsultant) was selected as the best value.
Based upon an average of four hours per working day, Cannon’s estimated fee totals
$71,493. In addition, state law mandates survey monument preservation that is
estimated to cost $6,000 to re-establish the disturbed monuments after construction is
complete. Adding staff time, total non -construction estimated costs during construction
is $95,000 or about 13% of construction costs. This amount will decrease if staff
constraints and commitments are lessened.
A standard contingency of 20% is customarily used for capital projects as a safeguard
for quantity over-runs and if unknown conditions are discovered that require a change in
plans. The risk for unknowns drops significantly on roadway projects if excavation is not
a part of construction. Although there is excavation work as part of the Santa Lucia
Road project, it is not for the entire roadway area but instead, in failed areas where

digouts and pavebacks will be performed. The construction contingency will be 15% of
the construction contract, or $109,47 0. Staff will be required to obtain City Council
approval if construction contingencies will exceed this amount.
Tallying the above costs, the total project cost is estimated to be $1,005,000, or
$425,000 over the $580,000 budgeted. Staff is recommending that LTF Reserves be
reallocated for the budget shortfall. These reserves are currently planned for future
projects in the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which staff is currently
updating as part of the 2-year budget cycle. Future project cost estimates are being
updated as part of this process, as well as fund revenue , expenditures, and reserve
projections. To accommodate the funding shortfall for the Santa Lucia Road project, the
San Gabriel Road Rehabilitation Project and/or the San Marcos Road Rehabilitation
Project will have to either be delayed or other funding sources will need to be identifie d.
These projects are currently slated to be constructed in fiscal year 2021 -2022.
If delayed, they could be constructed in fiscal year 2022 -2023. It is anticipated that due
to road conditions, delaying these roads sections should not change the scope of work
planned.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council award the construction contract Santa Lucia
Road Rehabilitation Project to Souza Engineering Contracting, Inc. for $720,527. Given
the heavy volume of traffic on Santa Lucia Road and the significant effort required for
City maintenance staff to upkeep the road at a safe and passable condition, completion
of this project is considered a high priority by staff. Records indicate that this roadway
section is near the top of number of complaints received for roadway conditions, with
many inquiries of when the City will fix it. These improvements are highly anticipated by
the traveling public who use Santa Lucia Road on a regular basis.
Although the budgeted project funds are well below those needed for construction, the
bid prices are reasonable and considered favorable. Delaying the project will result in
higher construction costs, increased maintenance and repair costs, and more
inconvenience to the traveling public. If approved by Coun cil, Staff will adjust the
5-Year CIP to accommodate the use of LTF Reserves by either delaying the identified
project and/or finding alternative funding.
If approved, construction will begin once schools let out for the summer. City staff has
coordinated closely with AUSD staff to minimize impacts to school. Most importantly,
the project specifications define a work window of between June 7 and August 14, with
a tight working days schedule. The Contractor will be responsible to prepare and
provide traffic control, and some inconvenience is expected to vehicular traffic along
Santa Lucia Road. City staff and the consultant will work with the Contractor to
minimize travel delays. Property owners in the project vicinity will be notified of the
construction schedule prior to work beginning and as needed during construction.
Environmental Review:
The proposed project is Categorically Exempt (Class 1) from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000 , et
seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations §§
Page 123 of 125
ITEM NUMBER: C-3
DATE: 4/23/19
15000, et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because it is limited to
repair and maintenance of existing facilities. A finding of exemption is on file in the
project records.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is recommending using LTF reserve balance to cover the estimated $425,000
project shortfall. The following tables summarize the proposed expenditures and
funding for the project.
PROPOSED FUNDING USES
Design and Bid Phase 80,000

ALTERNATIVES:
There are a number of other alternatives that the City Council may wish to consider,
including the following:
Consider another source of funding for project funding shortfall;
Direct staff to redesign the project with a light rehabilitation pavement treatment
technique, knowing that this treatment will not be as cost effective or long -lasting
as that currently designed; and/or
Cancel the project.
Staff does not recommend any of the above alternatives.
