He felt that approving the project would set a precedent which the City should avoid. Larry Stevens reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendations and stated that although the applicant had been in- formed of the density limitations and the number of units allowed before plans were submitted, the plans included an additional unit which the Planning Department, in reviewing the plans, did not catch. 1 The Planning Commission decided that the additional unit would be acceptable only if the proposed H.U.D. financing assures the provi- sions of affordable housing units. Council agreed with this provi- sion noting that Atascadero was in need of low income housing. This, however, was not to set a precedent for future requests for additional units. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved for approval of the Planning Commission recommendation on this matter. The motion was seconded by Councilman Stover and unanimously carried ' by roll call vote. B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS 1. Public hearing on Highway 41 alignment Mr. Warden reviewed the General Plan designation of Curbaril as an alternate route for Highway 41 and the Cal Trans purchase of rights-of-ways along Mercedes to be used for construction of Highway 41 by way of Mercedes. He emphasized that there were absolutely no plans for construction along either route at this time. Curbaril is an alternate designation in the General Plan and should be changed - if Council desires to eliminate that as a possibility and to avoid problems with zoning administration; Mercedes, as an alternate route, is so far down the Cal Trans list of projects as to not be considered for the near future. There are problems with both routes. RECESS 8: 00 p.m. RECONVENED 8: 05 p.m. Larry Stevens reviewed the two routes on a display map. Mayor Wilkins declared the meeting open to the public and asked for comments. Dave Cowan, Howard Marohn, Harriet Sackrider, Mrs. Harris, Bernie Norton, and Rosemary Jones gave their views on this issue; some were not in favor of Curbaril as the alternate route and others were not in favor of Mercedes. Council members discussed this matter at some length. Council- man Highland reviewed pre-incorporation Advisory Board considerations. Councilman Mackey felt that the best plan was to remove Highway 41 I i MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting November 10, 1980 Page Three from Capistrano and place it along Curbaril as an alternate route only; no construction.
