NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Atascadero, California,
takes the following actions:
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)
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 Walmart 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be delivered forthwith by the
