The approval of the resolution allows an undetermined number of cellular carriers to locate their facilities on the site provided the following: “Additional facilities are also designed in such a manner that avoids excessive visibility.” In July 2000, the Planning Commission approved cellular towers for GTE wirel ess (now Verizon Communications) and another cellular provider. In August 2001, the Planning Commission approved additional cellular towers for AT&T and Sprint. On November 19, 2013, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC 2013 -0032 to update Sprint’s existing cellular facilities with additional design and landscaping conditions of approval. Since the amendment in 2013, these communication companies have upgraded their equipment through building permits. If no additional equipment is added or if antenna heights remain consistent with previously approved CUPs. RSF-Y RSF-Z 6 ITEM 2| 6/4/19 Conditional Use Permit Amendment AMND 18-0140 / Sprint PCS Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero Summary: The project site has existing cellular towers from multiple carriers. Sprint PCS is proposing to add:  3 new antennas on pipe masts  6 new remote radio heads (RRH’s)  2 new pipe masts  Cables, jumpers, battery cells  Add new landscaping  Add new irrigation system Analysis: The site is on the east side of the Highway 101 corridor, located on Chalk Mountain above the intersection of Santa Rosa Road and El Camino Real near Chalk Mountain Golf Course. There are approximately 18 cellular towers leased by telecommunication companies, including Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and others. There is a level pad on the lot that is used to accommodate above ground facilities necessary for housing the required components for the cellular systems. The pad is approximately 1200’ x 600’ and is accessed by an existing paved driveway. As part of the previously approved Conditional Use Permits, the project area consists of a landscaping plan made to shield the view of the telecommunication towers. The site is surrounded by single-family residential uses. Sprint proposes to add to and modify their existing cellular towers on Chalk Mountain. The proposed towers and their modifications will not increase th e previously approved cell towers height of 16-feet. The project would add two new pipe masts with footings as well as utilize a vacant pipe mast. Each of the three masts would have two new RRH’s and one new antenna. Landscaping: The applicant has provided a landscape plan indicating that they will add jute mesh and shrubs to the barren dirt areas of the mountain. The dirt around the towers is a very light tan and makes the cell towers more visible. Adding more brush will help all of the towers blend into Chalk Mountain. The applicant will also be adding irrigation to maintain the landscaping. Design: The applicant is proposing to paint the new antennas and RRH’s to match what is existing. The existing towers are a faded light color that are much more visible than the other cell towers on the site. The previous amendment included a conditional of approval that the towers be painted with camouflage or earth tone coloring. 7 ITEM 2| 6/4/19 Conditional Use Permit Amendment AMND 18-0140 / Sprint PCS Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed project is consistent with the previously adopted Certified Mitigated Negative Declaration 2001-018 and 2000-016. FINDINGS: To approve amending CUP 2000-0019 and PLN 2013-1479, the Planning Commission must make the following findings. These findings and the facts to support these findings are included in the attached draft resolution. Conditional Use Permit (AMC Section 9-2.110(b).(3).(iv) 1.

Findings of Environmental Exemption. The Planning Commission finds as follows: 1. The proposed project has been determined to be consistent with Certified Mitigated Negative Declaration 2001-0019 and the mitigation measures shall be enforced as a part of the building permit process. SECTION 2. Findings for approval of Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission finds as follows: 1. The proposed project or use is consistent with the General Plan, as well as the City’s Appearance Review Manual and any pertinent City policy or criteria adopted by ordinance or resolution of the City Council; and Fact: The cellular facility use at this location is consistent with the General Plan land use designation through Resolution No. 1998-005 that allowed cellular facilities on Chalk Mountain. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Goals LOC 13 and LOC 14 and Land Use Policy 14.1 2. The proposed project or use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Title (Zoning Ordinance); and Fact: As conditioned, the project satisfies the conditional use permit provisions for the Atascadero Municipal Code. 3. The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of the use will not, because of the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the use; and Fact: The proposed use continues with the existing use of a cellular facility. The development of the project will not be detrimental to the general public or working person’s health, safety, or welfare. 4. That the proposed project or use will not be inconsistent with the character or the immediate neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development; and Fact: Previous Planning Commission resolutions allowed for co-located wireless facilities at the Chalk Mountain site. As a part of this resolution, the City requires that they be constructed in a manner that they avoid excessive visibility. Staff has conditioned the project so that monopole towers be utilized instead of the proposed structures to reduce visibility of the proposed tower additions. 14 ITEM 2| 6/4/19 Conditional Use Permit Amendment AMND 18-0140 / Sprint PCS Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero 5. That the proposed use or project will not generate a volume of traffic beyond the safe capacity of all roads providing access to the project, either existing or to be improved in conjunction with the project, or beyond the normal traffic volume of the surrounding neighborhood that would result from full development in accordance with the Land Use Element. Fact: The proposed project will not increase traffic because the cellular facilities are to be unmanned. Based on staff’s analysis in the preceding sections, it appears that all of the required findings for approval of a Conditional Use Permit can be made. SECTION 3. Approval. The Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero, in a regular session assembled on June 4, 2019, resolved to approve the amended Conditional Use Permit 2000-0019 and PLN 2013-1479 subject to the following: EXHIBIT A: Conditions of Approval EXHIBIT B: New Landscape Plan EXHIBIT C: New Overall Site Plan EXHIBIT D: New Layout Plan EXHIBIT E: New Elevations On motion by Commissioner ____________________, and seconded by Commissioner _________________________, the foregoing resolution is hereby adopted in its entirety by the following roll call vote: AYES: ( ) NOES: ( ) ABSENT: ( ) ABSTAINED: ( ) ADOPTED: CITY OF ATASCADERO, CA _________________________________________ Tom Zirk Planning Commission Chairperson ATTEST: ___________________________________ Phil Dunsmore Planning Commission Secretary 15 ITEM 2 | 6/4/2019 Conditional Use Permit Amendment AMND 18-0140 / Sprint PCS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED BY CONTACTING THE ATASCADERO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AT http://www.atascadero.org 6500 PALMA AVENUE | ATASCADERO, CA 93422 | (805) 461-5000 Exhibit A: Conditions of Approval AMND 18-0140 Conditions of Approval / Mitigation Monitoring Program CUP 2000-0019 and PLN 2013-1479 Amendment 9575 Vista Bonita Chalk Mountain Telecommunication Site Timing BL: Business License GP: Grading Permit BP: Building Permit FI: Final Inspection TO: Temporary Occupancy FO: Final Occupancy Responsibility /Monitoring PS: Planning Services BS: Building Services FD: Fire Department PD: Police Department CE: City Engineer WW: Wastewater CA: City Attorney Mitigation Measure Standard Conditions 1.

A Planned Development Overlay Zone will be placed on the properties to further define allowed uses based on location and site characteristics. The proposed amendments will bring existing non-conforming uses into conformance and allow for a proposed child care facility. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1. Adopt Draft Resolution A, recommending the City Council introduce an ordinance for first reading, by title only, to approve a zone map amendment to 2605, 2607, 3055, and 3255 Traffic Way (APN’s 049-063-003, 004, 049-071-029, 030), based on findings, and 2. Adopt Draft Resolution B, recommending the City Council introduce an ordinance for first reading, by title only, to approve Planned Development Zone No. 35 for 2605, 2607, 3055, and 3255 Traffic Way (APN’s 049-063-003, 004, 049-071-029, 030), based on findings. SITUATION AND FACTS: 1. Applicant: Atascadero Temple Association PO Box 715 Atascadero, CA 93423 2. General Plan Designation: Public recreation (REC) 23 ITEM 3 | 6/4/19 Traffic Way Map Amendment / PD 35 ZCH19-0029 / Atascadero Temple Association 3. Zoning District: Recreation (Existing) Public (Proposed) 4. Environmental Status: Exempt from CEQA (Section 15061(b)(3). No significant environmental impact. DISCUSSION: Background: In 2003, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit and Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide an elongated parcel between Traffic Way and the railroad into 4 parcels and approve construction of 2 membership assembly buildings on 2 of the parcels. One of the other parcels contained an existing single-family residence, which remains today, and the last parcel was offered to the City as a park. In 2005, one of the buildings was purchased and became occupied by the Congregation Ohr Tzafon. While this use is similar to a membership organization, it is considered a church or related facility in the zoning code and is currently a non-conforming use. Earlier this year, the Masonic Lodge (Atascadero Temple Association) decided to sell their property; however, the current list of allowed uses is limited based on the recreation zoning designation and doesn’t capture the most appropriate uses for the property based on the location and character of the neighborhood . A child care provider is interested in the site and has entered into escrow. This is currently not an allowable use and the property owners submitted a zone change application to change the zoning designation from Recreation to Public. This change would maintain the current General Plan Designation and provide for a minor change in land use opportunities. Analysis: The Public Recreation (REC) General Plan Designation is further refined into 3 zoning districts within the Zoning Code: Public, Recreation, and Open Space. The General Plan describes the Public designation as the appropriate designation for publically owned facilities; however, the corresponding Zoning Districts allow for such uses as mini-storage, general retail, schools, single-family residences, restaurants, health care services, and other uses that are not typical public facilities. The Zoning Ordinance refines the broad General Plan definition and categorizes the corresponding zoning districts as follows: a) L (Recreation) Zoning District. This zone is established to provide suitable locations and standards for the development of recreational facilities accommodating the needs of the general public. b) P (Public) Zoning District. This zone is established to provide suitable locations and standards for the maintenance and development of public and quasi-public facilities and services. 24 ITEM 3 | 6/4/19 Traffic Way Map Amendment / PD 35 ZCH19-0029 / Atascadero Temple Association c) OS (Open Space) Zoning District. This zone is established to cover areas with environmentally sensitive natural or cultural resources and generally is intended to remain free of structures, but may be developed with low intensity recreational improvements, where appropriate. This application does not intend to fix these inconsistencies but aims to work within the existing code to allow for the existing non -conforming and proposed uses, while limiting incompatible uses through the application of a PD overlay zone. Staff anticipates that major amendments to the structure of these corresponding zoning districts will occur during the General Plan Update and subsequent Zone Text Am endments. 1. Zoning Change Characteristics Currently the L zone allows for a large variety of land uses but is generally designed for public recreation spaces such as parks and outdoor recreation (Attachment 3). The amended zoning to P is more in alignment with how the property is already developed and will allow for land uses that support compatible uses. However some additional control is needed on this particular site as the P zone also allows for land uses such as mini-storage which would not be appropriate on this narrow site between the railroad tracks and the school. With the proposed amendments, uses such as restaurants, retail stores, bed and breakfasts, and group sports facilities will not be allowed. 2. PD Overlay Zone The proposed Planned Development Overlay Zone #35 refines the allowed and conditionally allowed uses listed for the Public Zone to ensure that any future use of this area is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and is appropriate for the location and size of the property. The following listed conditional uses will be allowed by right in the PD overlay zone:  Child Care Facilities  Churches and Related Activities The following uses are currently allowed or conditionally allowed within the P zone but will not be permitted in the PD overlay zone at these properties:  Mini-Storage  Health Care Services  Medical Extended Care  Residential Extended Care: 7 residents or greater  Animal Hospitals  Mortuary Services  ATM’s 25 ITEM 3 | 6/4/19 Traffic Way Map Amendment / PD 35 ZCH19-0029 / Atascadero Temple Association 3. Child Care Use The prospective buyer of 2607 Traffic Way is hoping to establish a child care facility on the property. The site is across Traffic Way from San Benito School and would allow for kids to easily transition to the facility’s afterschool program. The site also has 2 parking lots with a combined total of approximately 60 parking spaces. As the child care facility only requires less than 10 parking spaces, the prospective buyer is proposing to utilize one of the parking areas as an outdoor play space. The proposed overlay zone would make child care facilities an allowed use for this property. DRC approval would be required for any exterior or substantial site related changes. 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 map amendment and PD overlay are consistent with the General Plan and will allow an expanded set of uses while limiting uses that are incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood or are incompatible based on site acreage. The zoning changes will also provide a path for compliance to existing non -conforming uses that are compatible with the surrounding area. ALTERNATIVES 1. The Commission may recommend modifications of the text amendments to the City Council. 2. The Commission may determine that more information is needed on some proposed revisions and may refer the item back to staff to develop the additional information. The Commission should clearly state the type of information that is required and move to continue the item to a future date. 3. The Commission may recommend the City Council deny the proposed text amendments. The Commission should specify the reasons for denial of the project and recommend an associated finding with such action.
