Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2020-2021
The California Streets and Highways Code Section 36533 requires the preparation of a
report for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay
the costs of improvements and activities of the Improvement Area. The report may
propose changes, including, but not limited to the boundaries of the parking and business
improvement area or any benefit zones within the area, the basis and method of levying
the assessments, and any changes in the classification of businesses.
No boundary changes are proposed for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. The boundaries are more
specifically described as follows:
From the south corner of Morro Road at the Highway 101 over -crossing
then in the generally northwest direction immediately adjacent to
Highway 101, to a point at the intersection of EI Camino Real and Rosario
Avenue, then easterly along Rosario Avenue, to a point at the intersection
of Rosario and Palma Avenue, then easterly along Palma Avenue to the
rear lot line of parcels on the east side of Traffic Way, then north along
said rear lot lines to include Lot 24 of Block LA, of Atascadero, then
northerly along the center line of Traffic Way, to a point, then easterly to
include the presently existing National Guard Armory Property. Then to a
point easterly to the intersection of West Mall and Santa Ysabel Avenue
at the West Mall bridge, then southerly along Santa Ysabel Avenue to a
point at the intersection of the southerly leg of Hospital Drive and Santa
Ysabel Avenue, then easterly from that point to the extension of proposed
Highway 41, then southwesterly to the Morro Road/Highway 101
over -crossing, point of beginning.
Since 2000, the City, Community Redevelopment Agency, Chamber of Commerce, other
organizations and the community have worked to strengthen the downtown business
community, and implement the downtown revitalization strategy. In 2009, as the
economic downturn was affecting businesses, the City Council made the decision to levy
a $0 assessment on the businesses in the District. The State of California dissolved all
redevelopment agencies in 2011, and the City, Chamber of Commerce, and other
organizations have worked in collaboration to continue the efforts of the Community
Redevelopment Agency to provide better services to and strengthen the businesses in
the downtown.
In 2017, an informal committee of downtown business owners formed to promote
economic vitality and encourage business growth in the downtown. This committee will
advise the Chamber of Commerce on expenditures and will assist in the creation of the
annual budget for the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area (DPBIA). The
Atascadero Chamber of Commerce will serve as the advisory body and the
sub -contractor to the City regarding the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement
Area. The Chamber of Commerce is requesting that the City levy an assessment of 100%
of the business license fee for businesses in the DPBIA. Each licensed business in the
Improvement Area shall contribute to the assessment. Activities and improvements in
the DPBIA are funded by the assessment.
The proposed work plan and budget for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 is as follows:
BIA Funds requested for 2020/2021 $ 10,600
Carry over from 2018/2019 $ 150
Estimated revenue from events 1,000
Total Proposed Funding Available 11,750
2020/2021 Proposed Expenditures
Events (3 total) $ 3,950
Beautification/Miscellaneous $ 4,000
Marketing $ 2,600
Events Management 1,200
Total Proposed Expenditures for 2020/2021 11,750
Fund Residual $ 0
This report shall be filed with the City Clerk on behalf of the DPBIA for Fiscal Year 2020-2021
