Background:
The Del Rio Road Commercial Area Specific Plan was adopted on July 12, 2012. It
included two components; a Walmart component and an “Annex” component. On the
Walmart portion of the site, the approval included a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map that
resulted in a 4-lot subdivision for the southwest corner of Del Rio Road and El Camino
Real. The 4-lot map accommodates a large retail site, two smaller commercial lots, and
a lot for multi-family housing.
Walmart is not going to move forward with completing the necessary improvements that
are required in order to record a final map on this site, nor does Walmart intend to develop
this site with a retail store. Instead, Walmart is actively pursuing listing the property for
sale. Approving this map extension may assist in maintaining some assurance that a
similar project can be developed on this site. However, whether or not the map is still in
effect, the Specific Plan that outlines the scope of the project, and the retail zoning, will
remain in place. A future owner can then continue to develop the site consistent with the
Del Rio Specific Plan.

Del Rio Road Specific Plan
PLN 2007-1245 / Walmart
Planning Commission | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero
Analysis:
The Subdivision Map Act mandates an initial two -year life and, by local ordinance, the
City may extend the time at which the map expires in one year increments not to exceed
a total of five years (these are discretionary extensions). The application for the extension
must be filed prior to the expiration date. In 2013, the State passed Assembly Bill 116 (AB
116) that granted an automatic two year extension to all active maps. Based on the
limitations of the Subdivision Map Act, the map may be eligible for future extensions as
this is the third discretionary extension and up to five may be allowed.

Proposed PC Extension 10/15/2019 7/12/2020
The Planning Commission has discretion on whether they want to extend the map, or
they can defer the decision to the City Council. The Commission or City Council may also
decide whether project conditions should be added, modified, or deleted. In this case,
staff is recommending one additional time extension for 12 months beyond the expiration
date of July 12, 2019, subject to conditions. Recommended conditions include the
following:
1. Walmart continues to move forward with a development project on the site , or
continues to move forward to actively seek sale of the property to another owner
with similar development interests.
2. Walmart maintains the project site in good order, free of trash , debris, and weeds,
including the removal of dead trees and excessive fire fuel.
3. Walmart applies for demolition permits and removes the abandoned structure
(residence) on the site within 6 months of time extension ap proval (prior to April
15, 2020. This condition is already a condition of the approved tentative map,
Condition #27.
4. Walmart removes temporary fencing at the perimeter of the site.
Conclusion:
The applicant is working toward sale of the property to ensure completion of project
improvements consistent with the approved tentative parcel map. However, some factors
have changed to warrant reconsideration of project conditions. The factor that has
changed includes interest in this property by other owners and the continued assurance
that Walmart does not intend to utilize this site for a Walmart store. Staff recommends the
Planning Commission approve the Time Extension with conditions as requested.

SECTION 1: Findings for approval of the Time Extension: The Planning Commission
makes the following findings consistent with Atascadero Municipal Code Section 9-2.117(a)
1. FINDING: There have been no changes to the provisions of the General Plan or
zoning regulations applicable to the project since the approval of the entitlement;
FACT. There have been no applicable changes to the General Plan or zoning
regulations since the project was entitled on July 12, 2012. All conditions of
approval and required mitigation measures are to be completed by all projects
within the adopted Specific Plan overlay zone (SP-2) in addition to all applicable
zoning requirements and General Plan requirements.
2. FINDING: There have been no changes in the character of the site or its
surroundings which affect how the standards of the General Plan or zoning
regulations apply to the project.
FACT. The site remains vacant. The surrounding properties have yet to develop ;
therefore, there have been no changes in the character or its surroundings which
affect how the standards of the General Plan or zoning regulations apply to the
project.
3. FINDING: There have been changes to the scope of the project since Wal Mart no
longer intends to develop the site with a retail store and is seeking to convey the
entitlements to another retail developer. .
FACT. The site remains vacant. The extended vacancy of the site has led to
excessive weeds, refuse, an attractive nuisance and poor aesthetics. A recent fire on
the site further reduced the aesthetic character of the site. Continued site
maintenance and some work towards completion of project compliance would
show due diligence in maintain the project approvals and towards marketing the
property for new retail or other commercial interests.
SECTION 2: Approval: The Planning Commission does hereby approve a one-year
Time Extension of TPM 2009-0095, to expire on July 12, 2020, subject to the following ongoing
conditions:
1. Walmart shall continue to move forward with a development project on the site or
continue to move forward to actively seek sale of the property to another owner
with similar development interests.
2. Walmart shall maintain the project site in good order, free of trash, debris, and
weeds, including the removal of dead trees and excessive fire fuel and shall
complete annual weed abatement as required by City ordinance.
3. Walmart shall apply for a demolition permit and remove the abandoned structure
(residence) on the site within 6 months of time extension approval (prior to April
15, 2020.
4. Walmart shall remove all temporary fencing at the perimeter of the site.

ITEM 3 | 10-15-2019
Curbaril PD25 DEV 18-0124
Analysis:
The existing vacant lot is 0.58 acres, allowing for a maximum density of 6 units. The
proposed project includes 4 detached residential units on individual lots. Each unit
provides approximately 2,000 square-feet of living area with an attached 2-car garage.
The medium density multi-family zoning district has a minimum lot size of 0.5 acres but
allows for smaller lot sizes with the approval of a planned development overlay zone.
The project includes establishing PD36 to accommodate the proposed subdivision.
Site Plan
The site is designed with one unit facing, and accessed off, Curbaril Avenue with the
remaining 3 units accessed off a shared driveway. Consistent with the proposed
requirements of the PD36 overlay zone, the shared driveway will be constructed of
decorative material with ½ proposed as pervious pavers and ½ proposed as colored
concrete. A minimum of one guest space is provided on each lot and there is one
additional guest parking space provided along the shared access drive.
Proposed Site Plan
A landscape plan has been provided to meet the requirements of the PD 25. The front
of the homes will be vegetated with drought tolerant grasses and succulents. The
proposed plan also provides for street trees to cover parking and buffer a long Curbaril
Ave. The residence located closest to Curbaril Avenue will have a four foot tall open
fence around the front yard setback to use as a private yard. All other fencing will act as
privacy screens between residences and will be six feet as specified in Atascadero
Municipal Code. The site has been designed with a minimal 3 -foot landscape strip
between the shared driveway and the adjacent property line.
Native Tree Removal
One native tree is proposed for removal. The site has been designed to r etain the
significant large oaks on-site. The tree proposed for removal is a 10” Live Oak and is
within the proposed access driveway.
Retaining Walls
Architectural Design
The proposed units are two stories in the height, with attached garages , totaling
approximately 2,355 square-feet. The applicant is proposing two slightly different
exterior-design options. Both designs include a mixture of horizontal exterior siding and
stucco. Option A has a predominately stucco façade with composite -wood horizontal
laths on the extruded planes. Option B’s façade consists of predominately composite
wood with stucco on the extruded faces.
Lot 1 Lot 2 Lot 3
Lot 4
33
ITEM 3 | 10-15-2019
Curbaril PD25 DEV 18-0124
The units have minimal variation besides material changes and front façade accent roof
line. The units are proposed to be alternated on the site. Current City Planned
Development Policy requires that architectural design be high quality to meet the
required findings to allow for the reduction in lot size standards. This not only includes
high quality materials but also variation in design and attention to massing and limiting
garage dominance. However, the City does not have adopted policies on what
constitutes “high quality”. Instead this is determined on a case by case basis. The
Design Review Committee reviewed the project and has re commended approval. A
finding is included in the resolution affirming that the project meets the requirements for
high quality architectural design.
Landscape Design
Landscape includes trees along the Curbaril frontage and shared drivewa y. Drought-
tolerant shrubs and grasses are proposed for all visible front and side yard areas.
Privacy fencing will be setback from the building façades.
Establishment of Planned Development #36
The intent of Planned Development Overlay Zones is to provide flexibility to the
development standards in return for community benefit. Within the medium density
residential zone, this flexibility generally allow for subdivision into lots smaller than ½
acre, providing entry level housing with individual lot owne rship. Standards have been
included that specify decorative paving for the shared driveway, guest parking
requirements, building setbacks, and usable porch designs.
Planned Development Benefit Policy
The applicant is proposing to apply the Planned Development 36 overlay zone to the
subject property. Planned Developments allow for deviation in the City’s standards for
setbacks, heights, minimum lot size, etc. in exchange for community benefits that have
been established by the City Council. The Planned De velopment Policy requires certain
benefits be provided in order to warrant the granting of special or modified development
standards. The benefit chart is shown below.

The Planning Commission and City Council must find that the project provides all Tier 1
benefits, including high quality landscape and architectural design, in order to approve
the Planned Development and allow for the proposed small lot single-family subdivision.
The DRC found that the proposed project meets the required benefits related to high
quality architectural and landscape design.
Inclusionary Housing
The City Council has an interim inclusionary affordable housing policy that requires
smaller projects to pay an in-lieu fee based on the building valuation of each unit. Based
on the proposed unit square-footage, fees are expected to be approximately $12,100
per unit. No affordable units are proposed within the project and each of these homes is
expected to be priced well above the moderate affordability level.
General Plan Compatibility
The City’s multi-family residential zones are designed for smaller residences, attached
and detached apartments, condominiums and other residences that are available for
either rental or individual ownership. Many of the smaller sites within this designation
are actually developed below their maximum density with single family homes. Larger,
single family homes as proposed in this project are not what this designation was
intended to provide. However the Planned Development rezoning process has allowed
for substantial flexibility in the use of this district. The General Plan defines this district
as follows:
Medium-Density Residential (MDR)
These areas are intended for up to ten attached or detached residences per acre. In
addition to apartments and townhouses, this designation allows mobile home
subdivisions and mobile home parks. The minimum lot area is 0.5 ac res net, although
smaller lot sizes may be allowed through a planned development overlay process.
Zoning standards require adequate parking, setbacks, landscaping, on -site recreation
35
ITEM 3 | 10-15-2019
Curbaril PD25 DEV 18-0124
areas, individual storage, and building and parking area screening from a butting lower
density single-family areas. Maximum densities shall be reduced based on lot slopes.
All development within this district is subject to appearance review.
At this time, there are no specific house size standards in the multi-family zone.
Therefore, staff is not able to limit the maximum house size, nor require that each
property in this zone be developed to the maximum density. However, due to the
scarcity of multi-family zoning, the State’s desire to seek housing that is affordable by
design, and the City’s requirement to provide zoning that can accommodate over 800
residences in the next 8 years, our upcoming Housing Element and subsequent policies
will need to address this topic. For now, it is the City’s discretion to determine that a
planned development that allows for 2,000 square foot plus single family houses on a
multi-family site is or is not consistent with the General Plan.
Community Facilities District
Based on findings from the 2003 Taussig Study, revenue from new residential
development including property tax revenues, vehicle licensing fees, sales taxes, and
other revenues are insufficient to cover the maintenance and emergency services costs
of new development. Based on the revenue projections from the Taussig Study, the City
has developed standard conditions of approval for new development projects that
require the cost of maintenance and emergency services to be funded by the project
through a combination of road assessment districts, landscape and lighting districts , and
community facilities districts (CFD). A condition has been included requiring annexation
into the City-wide CFD prior to recordation of any final map.
Tentative Tract Map
A four lot vesting tentative parcel map (AT18-0111) is proposed which would allow each
residence to be sold individually. The map has been conditioned to meet all municipal
code requirements and all requirements of the Subdivision Map Act.
Conclusion
The project proposes a small lot single-family subdivision consistent with the underlying
multi-family zoning and the provisions of the PD36 overlay zone. City staff and the DRC
recommend the Planning Commission approve Draft PC Resolutions A and B,
recommending the City Council approve the project as conditioned.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The project qualifies for a Class 15 categorical exemption which exempts subdivisions
of properties into 4 parcels or less from CEQA review.
FINDINGS:
To recommend approval of the proposed project, findings are required to be made by
the Planning Commission. The City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance identify the
36
ITEM 3 | 10-15-2019
Curbaril PD25 DEV 18-0124
specific findings that must be made to approve the zoning map amendment, the
conditional use permit, and the tentative parcel map. Findings and the facts to support
these findings are included in the attached draft resolutions.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning Commission may recommend to the City Council modifications to
the project and/or Conditions of Approval for the project. Any proposed
modifications, including Conditions of Approval, should be clearly re-stated in any
vote on any of the attached resolutions.
2. The Planning Commission may determine that more information is needed on
some aspect of the project and may refer the item back to the applicant and Staff
to develop the additional information. The Commission should clearly state the
type of information that is required. A motion, and approval of that motion, is
required to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Planning Commission may recommend the City Council deny the project.
The Commission must specify what findings cannot be made, and provide a brief
oral statement, based on the Staff Report, oral testimony, site visit,
correspondence, or any other rationale introduced and deliberated by the
Planning Commission. If the proposed project amendment were denied, the
previously approved Planned Development #25 and associated Master Plan of
Development would remain in place for the site.
