It was noted that Closed Session would be continued until after the end of the regular session. REGULAR SESSION: The Mayor called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and led the Pledge of Allegiance. ROLL CALL: Present: Councilmembers Bewley, Carden, Johnson, Luna and Mayor Highland Absent: None Also Present: Rudy Hernandez, City Treasurer and Lee Price, City Clerk Staff Present: Andy Takata, City Manager; Art Montandon, City Attorney; Steve DeCamp, City Planner; Brady Cherry, Community Services Director and Bill Watton, Acting Police Chief CC 8/13/96 Page 1 PRESENTATIONS: Recognizing Bud Tanner, local contractor, and Leslie Ramsey, San Luis Obispo County Builders Exchange, for supervising the construction of Quarantine Project (Phase 1) at the Charles Paddock Zoo Mayor Highland presented plaques in appreciation for service to the community to Bud Tanner and Leslie Ramsey. COUNCIL COMMENTS: Mayor Highland announced that on July the 25th a 5-year lease for residents at Rancho Del Bordo Mobilehome Park was agreed upon. He recognized John McGoff, Jim Wolfe, Mark Egan and David Evans for their hard work in negotiating a compromise. David Evans, Western Mobilehome Park Association, thanked the Mayor and Council for the opportunity to resolve differences at two local mobilehome parks and to, further, avoid rent stabilization. He explained that the owner of Rancho Del Bordo and resident representatives had indeed agreed upon a new lease and that a meeting had been held at Hilltop Mobilehome Park. He added that while there is no rent problem at that park, there are matters of owner/tenant relations that will be addressed in a follow-up meeting. Millhollin Mine Update: Steve DeCamp provided the update and reported that while the process took longer than originally anticipated by staff, the Reclamation and Closure Plan, Operations Agreement and Environmental Assessment will be distributed in one week. COMMUNITY FORUM: Mike Inns, 8200 Pequenia, commented that the City's investigation into allegations surrounding the Police Chief is taking too long. He said that the issue is costing the City and the Police Department money and morale; and speculated that this episode will leave a black mark on those councilmembers whose terms will soon expire. Mayor Highland remarked that the issue is a difficult one and assured the public that the Council is doing all it can to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. Wendy Muller, 8200 Graves Creek Road, submitted two petitions requesting that the Police Chief be reinstated and that the City Manager be evaluated (petitions on file with the City Clerk). She asked the Council to accept the petitions, not as 10 legal documents, but as voices of the people of the City. She said that the legal CC 8/13/96 Page 2 • advice the Council is receiving is not in the best interest of the City and urged the Council to put into place a policy for the receiving of anonymous complaints. Ms. Muller also requested that the Council spend their efforts on resolving the financial problems of the City and cautioned them to use their power wisely. Cheryl Burbach, 12605 Santa Ana Road, spoke in support of reinstating the Police Chief. She noted that Chief McHale has been working with a committee of parents and school representatives to put the "Drug Free Zone" into place and shared concern about the progress of the committee without his input. ---end of public testimony--- CONSENT CALENDAR: The Mayor read the Consent Calendar, as follows: 1.

Rudy Hernandez reported that he has begun the process of moving funds from LAIF to diversify the City's investment funds. He has opened five Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts and plans to open at least five more by the end of month. The funds amount to about a million dollars and there is more work to be done, he remarked. Mr. Hernandez indicated that he hopes that there will be a Finance Committee meeting soon and responded to Council questions regarding interest earnings. He emphasized that the City earns money on idle cash and noted that interest earned on the CDs range from 4.7 to 5.1 % MOTION: By Councilmember Carden, seconded by Councilmember Luna to approve Item #2; motion passed 5:0 by roll call vote.

(Planning Commission recommendation: Waive reading in full and introduce on first reading by title only) B. Conditional Use Permit 96001 (Planning Commission recommendation: Approve) Councilmember Bewley stepped down from deliberations on this matter due to a potential conflict of interest. Steve DeCamp provided the staff report and recommended approval. He noted that the zoning change will add "indoor recreational uses" to the list of allowed uses in the (P) Public Zone and pointed out that, although typically not seen at the Council level, staff is also requesting approval of the ConditionalUse Permit (CUP) as the application had been accompanied by the zone change. Public Comments: Terril Graham, 6205 Conejo Road, commented that the City is failing to follow up on building permits to ensure that projects are completed as approved. He urged staff to make sure and follow up on this particular project. Steve Dummit, applicant, spoke in support of the project and requested approval. IP ---end of public testimony--- CC 8/13/96 Page 5 MOTION: By Councilmember Johnson, seconded by Councilmember Luna to waive the reading in full and introduce Ordinance No. 308 on first reading i by title only; motion passed 4:0 by roll call vote. MOTION: By Councilmember Johnson, seconded by Councilmember Luna to approve Conditional Use Permit 96001; motion passed 4:0 by roll call vote. Councilmember Bewley returned to the dias. C. REGULAR BUSINESS: 1. DISCUSS GIVING DIRECTION TO STAFF TO AMEND RESOLUTION NO. 122- 94 REGARDING AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF LINE OF CREDIT AT MID- STATE BANK (Staff recommendation: Provide direction) Andy Takata explained that the City's cash flow is in good shape and because of this does not think it is necessary to continue the line of credit. The City Treasurer agreed and recommended that Resolution No. 122-94 be rescinded. There was no public comment. MOTION: By Councilmember Luna, seconded by Councilmember Carden to rescind Resolution No. 122-94; motion passed 5:0 by roll call vote. 2. RESOLUTION NO. 72-96 - Re-authorizing an amended agreement with NCI Affiliates, Inc. for operation of the Lake Park Pavilion food concession. (Parks & Recreation Commission recommendation: Adopt) Brady Cherry provided the staff report and recommended approval. He noted that the amended agreement would allow for the sale of beer and wine at the Back Porch Cafe. He clarified that NCI will carry the liquor license and noted that Item "G" of the exhibit specifies that the beer and wine may only be consumed on-sight and will not be served in disposable cups. Councilmember Johnson asked the Acting Police Chief if there are many alcohol- related incidents at the Park. Lt. Bill Watton explained that are occasional calls, most of which are in the evening. Brady Cherry explained that if staff perceives there to be a problem because of the beer and wine sales, they will notify NCI. If the problems are not resolved, staff can bring the contract back to Council with a request that the privilege be revoked. 10 CC 8/13/96 Page 6 • Public Comments: Terril Graham, 6205 Conejo Road, spoke in opposition to beer and wine sales at the Back Porch Cafe and asserted that the City should not authorize a public facility to serve alcoholic beverages. He suggested that the request be denied and the rent lowered to assist the operator. Ray Jansen, 6655 Country Club Drive, agreed with Mr. Graham and concluded the that the sale of alcoholic beverages in the park contradicts the public's character. Denise Hughes, 7720 Cortez, manager of Back Porch Cafe, spoke in favor of the request and explained that the cafe is primarily a training facility for people with disabilities. She reported that NCI must find a way to make the business viable and pointed out that alcohol is already allowed in the park. She indicated that she does not feel a nine-table cafe will create a problem and assured the Council that the restaurant will enforce strict guidelines regarding alcohol consumption. ---end of public testimony--- Council discussion followed. Mayor Highland commented that there has been alcohol in the park for over thirty years. NCI has done a great job, he said, and they are providing needed training services. The Mayor suggested that the Council approve the contract amendment, but find a way to exclude the beer and wine from the 15% the City receives as payment for rent. There was mutual agreement in support of the Mayor's suggestion. Councilmember Luna inquired whether or not this action would require that the contract be revised. Brady Cherry indicated that staff can amend the agreement to include language reflecting that direction from Council MOTION: By Councilmember Carden, seconded by Councilmember Bewley to adopt Resolution No. 72-96, as amended; motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. The Mayor called a recess at 8:20 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:32 p.m. 3. CONSIDERATION OF A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION TO ESTABLISH A MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR THE CHARLES PADDOCK ZOO AND ATASCADERO LAKE PARK A. RESOLUTION NO. 76-96 - Initiating proceedings to form a maintenance assessment district for Atascadero Lake Park, Charles Paddock 1p Zoo and Atascadero Lake Park Pavilion (Parks & Recreation Commission recommendation: Adopt) CC 8/13/96 Page 7 Brady Cherry provided an in-depth staff report summarizing the issues and revenue options for the Charles Paddock Zoo. He explained that if the Council agrees to i form an assessment district, revenues received will be used to supplant the General Fund. Savings from the General Fund that now go to the zoo and park would then be used to repair streets, he proposed. Mr. Cherry also noted that the Council may wish to defer action and take the matter to the voters during a special election in 1997. Council discussion followed regarding the "Joel Fox initiative" and how it will impact cities if it is passed in November. The City Attorney also provided an overview of the assessment district process and responded to questions. Individual remarks followed. Mayor Highland commented that the zoo's budget has been unrealistic for sometime. There is a misconception, he said, that funding has decreased, but pointed out that, in fact, the General Fund makes up the difference each year for the zoo's deficit. The City is still supporting the zoo at a level higher than $70,000, he articulated. The Mayor spoke in favor of forming the assessment district and commented that it will provide an opportunity to determine how many folks in the community really do support the zoo. Brady Cherry responded to questions from Councilmember Luna about the number of visitors annually. He pointed out that in addition to entry fees there are other types of revenue generated at the zoo and emphasized that the zoo is cost- effective considering what the City invests. Councilmember Luna asked staff if any consideration has been given to developing a formula similar to the Chamber of Commerce and SLO County Visitors Conference Bureau. Brady Cherry reported that the Parks & Recreation Commission looked into requesting a portion of the transient occupancy tax, but decided against it. He noted that staff has requested that the County provide some reimbursement for educational benefits of the zoo based upon the number of school children outside of the City of Atascadero. Andy Takata noted that information is gathered about visitors to determine where people are coming from when they visit zoo. Councilmember Luna said he wants to see this information and encouraged additional studies and research. Brady Cherry summarized issues relevant to privatization and, as a final option, closure of the zoo. Councilmember Luna inquired as to the predicted costs associated with forming the proposed assessment district. Brady Cherry reported that a contract assessment engineer would have to be hired and speculated the preliminary study would cost $20,000. Art Montandon clarified that a special election to pass a special tax requires a two-thirds vote and added that the assessment district process requires two mailings of public notices, which would add to the cost. Brady Cherry responded to additional Council questions regarding zoo membership revenues (which average $95,000/year), business sponsorships (a good idea; CC 8/13/96 Page 8 would require the adoption of a policy) and fund-raising efforts (Mr. Cherry • clarified that the Zoo Society is all volunteer and a professional fund-raiser requires a contingency). Councilmember Bewley commented that the assessment district concept would tax only the property owners and pointed out that it is not just property owners who use and enjoy the zoo. He suggested that if an assessment district is placed on the ballot, that the question take another form. He emphasized the importance of determining what is important to the citizens of Atascadero. Public Comments: Rush Kolemaine, 4580 Potrero, proposed that the Parks & Recreation Commission may have a conflict of interest because many of them are members of the SLO County Zoological Society. He commented that the assessment district would not be successful if each property owner is charged the same amount, despite their income, and suggested that the assessment be by valuation of the property. Mr. Kolemaine remarked that he has a problem with pursuing the assessment district unless there is a clear indication from the Zoo Society about why they won't accept full responsibility for the zoo when they insist on telling the City how to run it. Lee Swam, 9065 Lakeview Drive, spoke in favor of the proposal to pursue some type of outside support for zoo. He read a letter which was received by the Atascadero Community Services Foundation pledging $50,000 to the zoo by the Buttles Family Trust of Avila Beach, with an additional $10,000 pledge to the SLO County Zoological Society to be funded in January 1997. Mr. Swam noted that this pledge could be used as seed money for establishing a long-term endowment fund, a form of privatization. Mike Blackburn, resident of Atascadero speaking on behalf of Mike Phillips, said that Mr. Phillips is still interested in negotiating the privatization of the zoo. Robert Nimmo, 7375 Bella Vista Road, commented that the zoo is an important City attribute, but explained that City officials must answer the following questions: "Can a small urban community afford a zoo?" and "if we're going to ask people to vote to increase taxes, for what purpose do we ask for the increase?". He commented that the City may not be able to afford the luxury of keeping the zoo open if it cannot maintain the essentials and pointed out that streets all over town are falling apart. Mr. Nimmo contended that if the City Council decides to put the assessment district on the ballot, than it should give the voters a choice about how the money will be spent. Leo Korba, 10905 Santa Ana Road, spoke in favor of considering the option of a utility tax because it includes everyone. The money, he added, can be used to CC 8/13/96 Page 9 fund the zoo, streets and others services. Councilmember Luna asked the City Attorney whether or not a utility tax adopted by the City Council would have to be • ratified by a vote of the people, as a result of Proposition 62 (the "Santa Clara vs. Guardino decision"). Art Montandon advised that it probably would, but clarified that the decision is still being litigated. Jim Williamson, 10615 Realito, commented in favor of the assessment district and recommended approval. He said that deferring the matter to an election will only delay action and increase the costs to form the district. Terri[ Graham, 6205 Conejo Road, protested adoption of an assessment district and spoke in favor of taking the matter to the vote of the people. Paul Hood, 2755 San Fernando Road, commented that as a member of the Zoo Society Board and Vice Chair of the Parks & Recreation Commission, he believes that the formation of an assessment district is the best option for providing funding to the zoo, lake park and pavilion, with or without a vote. Rich Scheider, resident and President of the SLO County Zoological Society, asked the City Council to keep in mind that the Society is all volunteers. He provided a report on the numbers who have visited the zoo in recent years and summarized the educational outreach program that is conducted by the Society. He indicated that he supports the assessment district formation. Bill Zimmerman, 6225 Lomitas, argued that the zoo is not a luxury, but an important part of what the community is all about. He spoke in support of placing the matter on the ballot so that the public can decide whether or not they wish to subsidize the zoo. Tanny Smida, 14505 San Miguel Road in Atascadero, reported that she had recently written an open letter to the community seeking support for the zoo and urged the City Council to find a way to keep and maintain it. Bob Johnson, 3985 Rosita Avenue, emphasized that the zoo is a economic draw to the community and urged the Council to protect and develop it. Ray Jansen, 6655 Country Club Drive, asked if the assessment was a straight sum per parcel or proportional to property value. Brady Cherry explained that the preliminary estimate would be developed as part of the engineer's report. Art Montandon added that legally an assessment must be placed upon the property based on benefit and added that it cannot be calculated on the valuation of the property. CC 8/13/96 Page 10 Brian Yellan, 5660 San Jacinto, remarked that he supports either an assessment • district or utility tax to ensure that Atascadero does not lose a valuable and educational tool for children. Barbie Butz, 3370 San Fernando Road, provided statistics regarding the use of the zoo by children and adults. She' indicated that as a member of the Parks & Recreation Commission she supports the assessment district formation. Lois Ramont, 9154 Palomar, commented that as a zoo supporter, she would hate to see it commercialized or privatized. After looking at the budget, she said, it is easy to see that the City doesn't have enough revenue. She urged the Council to take action to enhance revenues and mentioned that she supports the theory that residents should pay for the services they receive. ---end of public testimony--- Council comments followed. Mayor Highland pointed out that the city has lost considerable money to the State, emphasized that only 16% of what the taxpayers pay is actually received by the City and noted that services have stayed the same. He said that the Council needs get an indication from the community about what services they are willing to give up and what their priorities are. Councilmember Luna proposed that the City continue to fund the zoo until the question can be put on the ballot. In the meantime, he said, he would like staff to research a formula similar to the Chamber's. Councilmember Luna also criticized staff for waiting too long to bring the matter to Council and missing the opportunity to place it on this year's ballot. Councilmember Johnson said he is reluctant to take action on a single revenue issue at this time and wants to review other options. Councilmember Bewley agreed and indicated that he is not supportive of forming an assessment district for the zoo when the City has other serious problems like streets. Councilmember Carden concurred and added that it is imperative that the City finds out how residents feel on all the issues. Brady Cherry suggested that a survey be conducted, perhaps through the local newspaper, as a method for polling residents countywide about the zoo and reported that there have been several offers by others to pay for the cost of the survey. Mayor Highland commented that surveys do not usually yield a good response and added that a vote of the people is the only valid way to get the input. Council requested that this matter, along with other revenue enhancement proposals, come back with the budget. There was consensus to take no action CC 8/13/96 Page 11 on the resolution.

MINUT E=AN�D ED BY: i LEE PRICE, C.M.0 CITY CLERK CC 8/27/96 Page 4 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM: A-3 CITY OF ATASCADERO Through: Andy Takata, City Manager Meeting Date: 9/10/96 From: Alicia I. Lara, Personnel Analyst 0 V SUBJECT: Awarding Bid#96-04 to Superior Office Systems for Lease of Photocopiers. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 80-96 authorizing a lease agreement with Superior Office Systems for photocopiers. BACKGROUND: Currently the City has five photocopiers ranging from five to thirteen years old. Breakdowns occur at least weekly on one machine or another. Several machines are so old they are no longer on maintenance agreements. The cost of repairs are paid direct. The quality of the copies is poor. Staff often has to settle for inferior copies due to machine limitations. Large copy jobs (which include Council and Planning Commission Agendas) are run weekly and there is an 85-90%chance of a breakdown. • The down time lowers work productivity. At times direct costs are increased due to charges from outside vendors for copying services when staff is up against a deadline. DISCUSSION: Staff generated a Request for Quotes (RFQ) from local vendors for the replacement of five machines. The machines include administration 1 st floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor copiers,one copier in the Police Department and one in the Fire Department. Due to the City's budget allocation for copiers, it was stressed the City would replace the copiers if the annual cost of the replacement machines was lower or the same as the City's current costs. Additionally, at a minimum the machine had to perform at or better than the level of the current machines, including an improvement in the quality of the finished product. In reviewing the bids, staff considered the aforementioned, in addition to maintenance and repair service levels, which are paramount to work productivity. FISCAL IMPACT: The direct impact to costs will be a savings of approximately $1,011 per year. An additional savings will be realized in an increase of productivity time, a decrease of wasted toner and paper from copies of an unacceptable quality and we will avoid having to pay outside copy-service vendors.

Lara, Personnel Analy SUBJECT: Cooperative Personnel Services Test Use Agreement RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 81-96 authorizing an agreement with Cooperative Personnel Services for testing services. BACKGROUND: The City has had an agreement with Cooperative Personnel Services since October 1, 1979. The purpose of the agreement is to allow the City to rent the testing material produced by Cooperative Personnel Services. All their tests have been validated as job related, and are used during the recruitment process for new hires and promotional opportunities. The agreement with Cooperative Personnel Services is renewable on an annual basis. DISCUSSION: Currently we are controlling costs by pre-screening applications prior to testing. This process eliminates the cost of testing those applicants that do not meet minimum job qualifications. FISCAL IMPACT: Base fees which have remained the same since 1987 are increased to $15 per test while test booklets have increased $.50 per test booklet. Total cost will be based on the number of tests administered at the time of recruitment. Attachments: Resolution No. 81-96 Contract#96020 axps 000012 RESOLUTION NO. 81-96 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO, CALIFORNIA,AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH COOPERATIVE PERSONNEL SERVICES FOR TESTING SERVICES The City Council of the City of Atascadero, California hereby resolves as follows: 1.

Takata, City Manager Meeting Date: 9/10/96 From: Alicia I. Lara, Personnel Analy -_ SUBJECT: P.O.S.T. Entry Level Dispatcher Selection Test Battery, Test Use and Security Agreement. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 82-96 authorizing an agreement with the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.)for dispatcher testing. BACKGROUND: POST has adopted new dispatcher selection standards that will take effect July, 1997. As a result POST developed a new battery of tests to provide agencies such as the City of Atascadero with a way to comply with the new regulations. The Battery is designed to assess verbal, reasoning, memory and perceptual abilities. By using the Battery for testing we can expect a significant gain in new employee productivity and retention. Use of the Battery will qualify the City to be eligible for POST reimbursement in regard to dispatcher training. The tests are made available through Cooperative Personnel Services(CPS). The City renews the test use agreement with CPS on an annual basis. However, in order to access the Entry-Level Dispatcher Selection Test Battery, POST requires a separate agreement. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: The cost of test administration for the Battery, is equal to or less than the use of any other test rented from CPS, thus there are no increased costs for test administration. The City will actually save money, as our dispatcher training will now be POST reimbursable. This will afford our staff training opportunities they may not have otherwise.

Takata, City Manager < %� SUBJECT: Re-organization Recommendation: Direct Staff as to the reorganization plan while working with the Bargaining Units, through the meet and confer process, to see if they are willing to reduce the City's expenditures through employee salary or benefit reduction, which will minimize lay offs. Discussion: In order to understand how we've come to be in the fiscal condition we are in and why I will be recommending the re-organization, I felt it would be important to give some historical background. . The City incorporated in 1979 and was a post Prop 13 city. Therefore, the City does not have the ability to generate revenues through assessed values of property. At the time of incorporation, the City Council chose to provide specific services. Incorporated into the City was the fire district and the wastewater facility. The main reason cited for incorporation was public safety, police especially, because there was already a County fire district located in the City limits. Another important reason for incorporation was the road structure. At the time the City incorporated, it was geographically the largest city in San Luis Obispo County. The size and structure of our City created an immediate fiscal challenge in that the City took on the responsibility of maintaining unique and rural roads. From 1979 to 1990, the City was able to maintain its roads and provide overlays. When the City incorporated, back in 1979, it received approximately 18% of the property tax collected by the County. This 18% was not all new revenue, 15% came from the former fire district, leaving only 3% of the total tax received to pay for all other additional services, except for those areas incorporated outside the fire district boundaries. See attached exhibit A. In 1989-90, the recession hit California. During this time, the City took on Certificates of Participation (COP) in the amount of 2.1 million dollars for purposes of renovating the Pavilion and a new police facility. Unfortunately, the 2.1 million was not enough for the City to complete both projects, maintain its service levels and pay off the COP. The City had to dip into its reserves. In 1992 the State took a significant amount of revenue from all local agencies including our city. The City continued to grow to a population of 25,000 in 1996 and the need for services has increased. 1 000034 Attached you will find exhibit B which illustrates the changes in staffing levels, beginning with 61 employees at the time of incorporation, increasing to a maximum of 116.1 employees, and decreasing to today's number of 97.5 employees. The Police Department started with 25 employees and currently has 37 employees (including vacancies). The Fire Department started with 10 employees and currently has 16 positions (including vacancies). Community Services, a hybrid including the Zoo, Parks and Streets, began with 11 employees and currently has 19 employees. Community Development began with 6 employees and currently has 9. City Manager's/Personnel/Finance started with 6.5 employees and now has 9. As you can see all departments have grown since incorporation; which is not uncommon. As Council is aware, 69% of the City's total expenditures are personnel-related. Even though the City incorporated primarily because of the need for police and planning services it does not mean that these services are still the priorities for Atascadero's residents. At what cost should the City pay to remove everything else in order to accommodate the need for public safety. My opinion is that public safety is an important key for creating a harmonious community. Because public safety is a mandated service, there is an obligation to create departments that will run efficiently to service the needs of our residents. I also believe that all departments within our City's structure are necessary for the on-going business of the City and the vitality of the community. In 1992, the City re-organized and the resulting lay-offs impacted employees in the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) the most. Although it affected all employees, due to increase work load, the SEW bargaining unit experienced the highest number of employee reductions. SEW employees are known as the "line employees". There was less impact to public safety, mid-management and management group employees. In an effort to avoid the possibility of lay-offs in the future, staff's recommendation is to flatten the pyramid of the organizational chart for each department. As we review the needs, I think it would be safe to say that the City should consider having a five to six year plan to recoup from our fiscal problems. Earlier I mentioned some of the reasons for the present fiscal condition of the City. In addition to those specified, it is important to note that police impact fees have not been able to keep up with the payments towards the COP. The.City's General Fund, therefore, has had to subsidize the impact fees. In the case of Parks & Recreation, they have been able to pay their share plus some, toward those years they were unable to meet their fiscal obligations. The COP is the biggest debt. The other big debt is the Zoo in that revenues have not come in as projected nor have we received the financial support of the County Zoological Society in order to have the Zoo operate in an effective manner. 2 • Recreation is another department in which revenues have been less than expenditures. Ire speaking with the Director of Community Services, Brady Cherry, I have learned that he will be installing a three-year plan in which he feels the revenues will exceed expenditures. Currently, General Fund subsidy is approximately $50,000. This next year the subsidy will be $30,000 until it reaches a break-even point. Brady feels that this can be done with reductions in Recreation Division staff and by canceling those programs which do not break even, or better yet, do not make money. In order to ascertain the revenue that is needed for the City to become fiscally neutral, department heads met with the City Manager to examine the issues and develop recommendations. Paying off the City's debts and building up a reserve are a priority. Debt service is defined as follows: Wastewater for Negative Fund Balances 5200,000/year (paid off in 5 years) COP Debt difference 37,000 Stadium Park debt 40,000 (paid off in 5 years) Contingency Fund (5%) 263,000 (total contingency 350K) • TOTAL 5540,000/year A total estimate of $540,000 per year is needed to break even and create a contingency in which reserves can be built up. The goal of the management team was to come up with a half-million dollars of cost-savings for the General Fund, and to create an organization with less bureaucracy which will result in the least amount of impact to public services. The recommendations I am about to present to the Council have service level problems which I will review as I discuss them. In addition to the lay-offs and restructuring, I will also be recommending to the Council a revenue enhancement in the form of an assessment district whereby monies will be utilized for parks and the zoo. The revenue realized from the formation of the assessment district would relieve the General Fund, making those funds available for the improvement of the City's streets and infrastructure. It is, as you are aware, necessary to replace and maintain the City's fixed assets. Once reserves are intact, we will begin to budget fixed assets into the formula. • 3 000034,Z- During a session with the department heads, many positions were brought up for discussion. The present recommendations are from these meetings as well as discussion with the City Council. In order to reach the $540,000 needed, it will require a reduction of approximately ten positions to make up the difference. In keeping with some of the recommendations made by the Economic Recovery Task Force (ERTF), we will review the cuts from the upper level and down the line. To reduce the expenditures from upper management as recommended by the ERTF, a reduction in department head salaries was proposed. My concern, should this be implemented, is the impact on department head morale. The only way to provide for this philosophy would be reduction in the number of department heads. Some department heads may chose to reduce their salary on a voluntary basis. We would be unable to automatically reduce their salary unless they bargain or volunteer to take such a cut. I am willing to reduce my salary to help with the City's fiscal crisis. As you know, we have some openings. The Community Development Director, Public Works Director and the Finance Director are currently open. With my proposal for re-organization, I would recommend that we reduce the number of department heads. By doing so, we would experience an overall reduction in department head salaries. In order to completely understand what my objective is in making the recommendations, I will review each department in this memorandum by organizational chart. The attached information also illustrates how the City receives its revenue and where the expenditures are distributed. The first and foremost responsibility is to retain as many of our full time staff as possible. Their knowledge and experience will be a great asset to the City through this difficult time. Keeping this philosophy in mind, the total number of employees who would not be able to either transfer to a position, downgrade or apply through the recruitment process for a newly created position, is two. We will also lose some valuable temporary employees. Exhibit C illustrates our current position allocation and salary schedule. The variations (exhibit C-1 , C-2, etc.) reflect the different options. In addition to these options is the option of not filling any of the current full-time vacancies. The problem with this alternative is some of the recent vacancies are key positions. By leaving the positions unfilled, the orgariization can not run effectively. We are currently operating understaffed in key positions, making it very difficult to operate day to day. A good example of this is in the Finance Department. We presently have no accountant assigned to the department. We have been able to manage up 4 000034,E to now, due to the dedication of our hard working Finance staff, although we need the expertise of an accountant to complete the more technical work. Our City Treasurer has completed some of this work on a volunteer basis. However, we will be officially retaining his services on a temporary basis due to the extraordinary amount of time he is spending assisting us in the evenings and on weekends. This is a temporary fix that will suffice only for the short term. I believe that some of the problems we have faced over the last few years are a result of not having the right staff in certain positions. Staff has also been stretched too thin to resolve some problems. There is not one city in San Luis Obispo County that has done without as many Department Heads as our City. In today's economic climate all Department Heads will now have to take over the day to day operations and can no.longer be solely administrators. The following summarizes, by department, my recommendation: Exhibit C-1 through C-5 City Manager's Department: • Eliminate 1 Secretary (either to the Manager or Council) • Add a half-time Office Assistant I By eliminating the full time position staff will not be able to react as quickly to the City Council or public requests. Community Development Department: • Eliminate; Office Assistant ll, City Planner, Plan Check Engineer • Change the duties of the Administrative Analyst to do mostly planning duties as well as other resource responsibilities she is now performs. • Creation of a Chief Building Official that would include Fire Marshall and Code Enforcement responsibilities • Changing the Building Inspector II to Senior Building Inspector. Reduction in the staff at Community Development Department could result in slower turn around time for service. Community Services Department: • Eliminate Maintenance Worker I, half-time Office Assistant I, two Part- time Recreation Coordinators Will result in reduction of programs. 5 000034, �' Finance Department: (the Finance Department would be under the direction of the City Manager) • Replace Finance Technician with Accountant and Finance Director with Finance Analyst • Eliminate Administrative Secretary position • Transfer Account Clerk I to Community Services to become a Centralized Cashier Could result in a reduction of service levels to the public and staff requests. Fire Department: • Eliminate Battalion Chief/Fire Marshall • Add 2 Firefighters Results in service will be increased, due to having additional professionals at the stations, while experiencing a reduction in overall staff costs. Police Department: • Eliminate the Lieutenant and Support Services Manager , or two police officers, or a combination of the two. There is a concern that the lack of mid-management personnel could result in a reduction in programs due to the inability to administrate all the community programs in which the police department is currently involved. You will note that after adding two firefighters, part-time over-time salaries would be reduced by $40,000 and fire department over-time would be reduced by an additional $40,000 actually saving money. Recreation Coordinator would be reduced resulting in another $20,000 and Code Enforcement will be incorporated into the Chief Building Official position ($36,700). There was extensive conversation among the Department Heads about removing NCE as our primary engineering contractor. We spend approximately $375,000/yr. (which includes plan checks, capital improvements and miscellaneous work they now do for the City). You have given me direction to try to renegotiate their contract. 0 6 000034..5 Increasing the fees for plan checking would create a situation where we could 40 recoup the Chief Building Official's salary and administrative expenses, in addition to the savings of the Fire Marshal and Code Enforcement positions. Consensus among the department heads and the Economic Recovery Task Force was that there be no combination of the Police and Fire Chiefs and that those departments are kept separate. The City should do further studies on the possibility of a Public Safety Department by directing the Fire and Police Chiefs to work together and figure out an implementation plan when the one or both of the Chiefs chose to retire. After reviewing the Economic Recovery Task Force's recommendations that included reduction of Department Head salaries (which would have to be voluntary) and to reduce expenditures according to their chart I feel we have accomplished that feat. Revenue Enhancements: The first recommendation by the department heads was to create a lighting and landscaping assessment district. The philosophy was that many individuals in the public feel that property taxes pay for public safety and streets, while parks are considered "extra". We have approximately 9,000 living units (homes). If we expand to include commercial areas, we could charge less money per parcel. At approximately $60/parcel, $540,000 would be realized and could be spent on the Zoo, Pavilion and Parks, according to the Lighting and Landscape Act. This would free up money in the General Fund making it available for roads, which as you know are in disrepair. Another assessment district concept suggested for consideration by the Council is a road maintenance assessment district. This is, however, more difficult because there are some road maintenance districts already in place and we cannot double- charge. Therefore, not all dwelling units could be charged the same amount. The figure would vary depending upon the number of dwelling units in the assessment district. Another option would be the creation of a public safety assessment district. Staff would recommend a work shop to discuss the assessment districts that could be placed on the ballot next year. The remaining difference will be made up by reducing department budget requests for fiscal year 1996/97. 7 000034,E o H �s i � al-s' W ��^ �s Es x.g� - •- .. ;'_ } tri.

(Planning Commission voted 3:4 recommending denial) BACKGROUND: On August 20, 1996, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the above-referenced EIR and accompanying applications. As the attached minutes show, many of the comments were from residents on Rio Rita and Del Rio Road expressing concern over the proposed residential subdivision. The proposed density of the project was questioned, along with vehicular circulation in the area. The current condition of Del Rio, sight distance at the entrance to the new subdivision, and the need for another access from the subdivision through the Factory Outlet site to El Camino Real were the main circulation questions. As outlined in the attached staff report, staff contends that the General Plan supports the planned subdivision as the proper transitional development between the Outlet stores and the existing residential land uses. The two traffic engineers associated with the project agree that Del Rio can handle the additional traffic and that the intersection with the new subdivision provides safe sight distance. The substantial grade change between the two components of the project prevents a feasible access from the residential tract to El Camino Real. More detail is provided in the EIR and staff report on these issues. The public comments on the Factory Outlet were generally positive. The major concern was the pedestrian connection across El Camino Real between the two shopping centers. Although the traffic warrants are not met for a traffic signal at this location, it seems to be the consensus of everyone involved that some form of traffic control is necessary to encourage shoppers to walk between the two centers. Thus, the compromise position that has been reached is for the developers to post a bond for a traffic signal with a monitoring program of one year. If the monitoring results justify installation of a signal after one year (or sooner) the improvement will be constructed; if not, the bond will be returned. 000036 Another point of discussion at the August 20th hearing was whether or not the project should be broken down into two separate applications for the residential and commercial components, or remain together with the potential impacts analyzed in a comprehensive and interrelated fashion. The EIR and staff report have presented an all-inclusive package of information and recommendations. The majority of the Planning Commission agreed with this approach. Minor revisions to the Conditions of Approval were suggested by staff at the public hearing. On the Conditional Use Permit, Condition #10 was clarified regarding required fencing and the timing of the monitoring for the traffic signal was modified (Condition #42e) . The CUP 95010 Conditions, including the revisions, were approved unanimously by the Commission. Likewise, minor revisions were recommended to the Tentative Tract Map Conditions. The Conditions were discussed, most importantly the Commission' s desire for the reduced right-of-way width (40 feet) for the new Vaquero Lane (Condition #21a,b) . Minor modifications were also made by staff to Conditions #31, 432, and #37 . As indicated above, the motion on this portion of the project failed 3: 4. While the majority of the Commission favored the Low Density Multiple Family designation as evidenced by the vote on the Land Use and Zoning Map amendments, the majority did not concur • that the density and design of the residential subdivision was appropriate. The four Commissioners believed that a 30-lot subdivision in this location was too dense a project; one which was not in character with Atascadero's rural heritage.

Environmental Status Final EIR BACKGROUND: General Plan Amendment 95008 and Zone Change 95013 were submitted on September 29, 1995. These applications were filed for the subject property in order to accommodate the Atascadero Factory Outlet Phase II and Tract 2215 residential development. The request is to change the existing Land Use Map designations (and the corresponding Zoning Map) of Neighborhood Commercial and . Suburban Single Family Residential to Commercial Park and Low Density Multiple Family Residential . The General Plan Amendment includes a request to extend the Urban Services Line (USL) and thus provide sewer service to the development. The Zone Change includes the establishment of a Planned Development Overlay Zone No. 7 (PD7) in order to create the residential subdivision. Lot Line Adjustment 95008 was received on October 31, 1995. This application would adjust the lot lines to conform to the proposed new zoning. Parcel 1 would create an 8 . 99 acre parcel for Tract 2215, resulting in a 9.2 acre parcel for the commercial project. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 95010 was also filed on October 31, 1995; a request to construct the 85, 000 square foot expansion of the Atascadero Factory Outlet stores . Commercial projects in excess of 10, 000 square feet require a CUP. Tentative Tract Map 95006 (Tract 2215) was similarly received on October 31, 1995 and proposes the creation of a proposed 30-lot residential subdivision. The lots range in size from 7, 065 to 17, 370 square feet. 2 000060 . Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) an Initial Study was prepared on November 22, 1995. The purposes of an Initial Study are to facilitate environmental assessment early in the project and determine the scope of the review process . The Initial Study resulted in a determination that the project could have a significant impact on the environment and thus an EIR was required. Initial Studies also serve to assist in the preparation of an EIR by focusing on the effects deemed to be significant. Consulting services (FIRMA) were quickly obtained and the Notice of Preparation to solicit comments from other agencies was published January 22, 1996. This effort resulted in defining the following nine areas of environmental significance: 1 . Native Trees 2 . Drainage and Earthwork 3 . Visual Resources 4 . Traffic 5. Noise 6. Air Quality 7 . Land Use 8 . Public Services 9. Wastewater Disposal The Draft EIR was completed in May, 1996 with the mandatory 45- day review period running from May 16, 1996 to June 29, 1996. A public hearing was held during this time period on June 18th to obtain public comments. The Final EIR - the Draft EIR and the Response to Comments - was circulated for public review on August 1, 1996. This August 20, 1996 hearing before the Planning Commission and the subsequent City Council hearing will consider the adequacy of the EIR and then the recommended actions on the associated development applications. The background section can not conclude without mentioning the numerous meetings that staff and the applicant have undertaken over the last year. In addition to site, grading, and architectural plans for both projects, the applications included a traffic report, drainage impact/mitigation report, geotechnical feasibility report, tree protection/removal plan, and other supporting information. This material helped define the scope of the environmental review at an early stage of the project review. ANALYSIS: Draft EIR This section will briefly look at each of the nine environmental issues identified in the EIR and the their recommended mitigation measures . 3 000061 Ninety-seven (97) trees exist on the site, ranging in size from 4" to 66" in diameter. Twenty of these trees are native; the majority of them being coast live oaks. Nine native trees are proposed for removal on the site. The Draft EIR recommends that 54 - 24" box size trees be planted as a mitigation measure and that the 40 foot right-of-way for the residential streets is the superior alternative in protecting and reducing disturbance on native trees . The drainage and earthwork section recognizes the significant grading and increase in surface runoff that occurs with projects of this magnitude. The Draft EIR suggests that the increase in surface runoff and diversion of water from one watershed to another be handled by storing excess stormwater in on-site detention basins and redirecting runoff from the southerly watershed into a northerly detention basin. Based on City drainage standards, the detention basin of the residential development should be maintained by the tract homeowners' association, and not the individual homeowner. In addition, erosion repair of the San Ramon Storm drain inlet and revegetation of disturbed soils should be accomplished as part of the project. Although a substantial change to the visual environment, the residential and commercial components of the project are designed to minimize visual impacts. Special consideration is given to reducing glare onto neighboring properties . Traffic and circulation is arguably the most potentially significant impact resulting from the proposed project. The traffic consultant concludes that the proposed projects will not generate an increase in traffic that would drop the levels of service (LOS) on surrounding streets and intersections to below the adequate LOS C. Most of the intersections would result in a good LOS (B) even under cumulative build-out scenarios . The Draft EIR does not recommend a traffic signal at the Outlet main driveway because the warrants for pedestrians or traffic volumes are not met. The increase in noise generated from the traffic, construction, and operation of the commercial project must be addressed in context of the surrounding residential neighborhood, as well as from the perspective of proposed Tract 2215. Further analysis is recommended as an alternative to installing acoustical insulation in six affected residences in the area. To soften the stationary noise from the loading zone of the Outlet onto the proposed residential subdivision Tract 2215, the construction of a 4-6 foot masonry wall is recommended along the easterly property line of Tract 2215. 4 000062 . Air quality is also reviewed in light of traffic, construction, and operational impacts. Dust control, energy efficient construction, and trip reduction are the recommended mitigation measures . As Section G of the Draft EIR concludes, there are no reasonable mitigation measures to address the growth inducement impacts on the land use pattern. Decisions in this regard involve some speculation and policy guidance. The impact of the projects on the land use character of the City and vicinity will be analyzed in the appropriate application section below. In the Draft EIR, public services include schools, water supply, solid waste, fire, and police protection. Recommended mitigation includes participating in recycling programs and ensuring adequate fire prevention measures are incorporated into project design. The two projects will increase wastewater effluent by approximately 5, 500 gallons per day, representing 0.03% of treatment plant capacity. There is adequate capacity in the collection system and treatment plant to accept the wastewater generated by this project. Approval of USL extensions will impact collection and treatment facilities that are nearing capacity. The Fiscal Element of the General Plan calls for consideration of fiscal implications in land use decisions. Two policies (A-2 and A-3) specifically encourage single family, detached units in multiple family zones because they generate more revenue than apartments. As shown in Attachment T, the fiscal impacts of Factory Outlet Phase II/Tract 2215 are positive. Using the City' s Fiscal Impact Model, created by Crawford, Multari, and Starr, was the chosen method for review of fiscal impacts, instead of including it in the EIR as an environmental issue. The Draft EIR concludes that there are no unavoidable significant environmental impacts of the project - the identified significant effects can be reduced by incorporating the recommended mitigation measures. Final EIR The Final EIR includes the Draft EIR and a response to all comments received during the 45-day public review period, including the Planning Commission meeting of June 18, 1996. Most of the comments were directed at the residential component of the project. The primary concerns of the testimony were the density of the project in light of the current land use pattern and the traffic impact onto Del Rio Road. The narrow condition of Del 5 000063 Rio Road, inadequate sight distance at the intersection of proposed Vaquero Lane and Del Rio, and the safety of schoolchildren in the vicinity were cited as concerns by many residents in the area. The Final EIR confirms that the existing streets in the vicinity will continue to function at acceptable levels and that adequate sight distance is provided at Del Rio and the entrance to the residential development. Land use compatibility of the residential project will be reviewed below. The other main circulation issue is the connection - vehicular and pedestrian - between the existing and proposed shopping center. The traffic engineers agree that adequate gaps will occur in the flow of traffic to allow a safe pedestrian crossing. Crosswalks should not be included without signals . The recommendation of the consultant and staff is that the applicant bond for a traffic signal and that after a sufficient monitoring period the bond is either returned or the signal installed depending on the survey results. The public comments regarding the expansion of the shopping center were generally positive and focused on specific design points . In addition to the commercial connection discussed above, the subject of tree removal by raised by several speakers . Although agreeing with many of the proposed tree protection efforts, the commentators protested the planned removal of a cluster of oaks near the center of Lot 9. As the comments note in Response #5.2, the site grade change and parking/circulation plan call for removal of this cluster as long as sufficient replacement is ensured. General Plan Amendment/Zone Change Hand-in-hand as a basic community goal (Land Use Element II-1) with preserving Atascadero' s rural atmosphere is "providing for a sound economic base to sustain the City' s unique character. " If constructed in a proper location and compatible manner, the expansion of the Factory Outlet can certainly contribute to carrying out this goal. As the LUE states (Page II-12) , "the most challenging goal of the General Plan is to reverse the strip commercial image of the City by implementing a land use strategy which encourages and establishes the creation of strong specialized nodes along El Camino Real to meet the wide variety of commercial, retail, and service needs of the city and its trade area. " Thus, the basic community goals (II-2) also attempt to "transform the existing El Camino Real "strip" into distinctive, attractive, and efficient commercial, office, and industrial park areas which can provide for the long-term economic viability of the community. " These policies encourage the enlargement of the Commercial Park zone at the El Camino Real/Del Rio intersection. Expansion of the Outlet center across 6 U000fi'I El Camino Real is an opportunity to reverse the "strip" image and consolidate commercial development - expansion of the Outlet in its current location will only further the linear commercial pattern. In addition to the Commercial Park designation to accommodate the Factory Outlet expansion, the applicant is proposing a Low Density Multiple Family designation, with a PD Overlay zone, in order to create a 30-lot residential subdivision. According to the LUE (Page II-11) , "low density multiple family areas are appropriate as transitional areas between higher density non- residential and high density multiple family areas and abutting single family areas. The lower density designation is intended to encourage new development at a density more compatible with that of the existing single-family mix." The Land Use policies also encourage mixed use projects; a planning concept the City has had few opportunities to employ. The Mitigation Monitoring section of the General Plan (Page II-40) encourages the mixing of commercial and residential land uses when it reduces dependence on the automobile, improves the jobs/housing balance, and will not create incompatible land uses. The City' s Housing Element, updated in March, 1994, also encourages housing developments such as Tract 2215. One of its fundamental objectives is to promote the construction of new housing units for low and moderate income persons . Policy #2b. (Page VI-32) recognizes the difficulty of moving up into the housing market by "promoting and encouraging the development and construction of new housing units for first time homebuyers . " Policy #2e. encourages the PD zones as an effective way to create housing opportunities for single family home ownership. Policy #6g. (Page VI-44) also supports consideration of mixed residential and commercial projects outside the downtown area. These policies promote the type of transitional residential development proposed here. A low density designation allows a higher density of development for what is really a proposed single family development. The single family character of the proposed subdivision respects the existing residential neighborhood, while the higher density realizes its proximity to the shopping center. The subdivision itself is designed in this manner - the larger lots are adjacent to Rio Rita Road, with the smaller lots located adjacent to the Factory Outlet. An extra emphasis on landscape treatment has also been proposed where the proposed tract abuts the existing residential neighborhood on Rio Rita Road. Too often the City is forced to deal with its historical land use precedent. In many instances, the Colony lot layout and the Highway 101/El Camino Real corridor resulted in shallow commercial lots adjacent to residential property. This is an opportunity for a mixed use, transitional development with design flexibility. 7 00006 The General Plan Amendment also includes a request to extend the Urban Services Line to include the entire subject property. In addition to completion of an EIR, two findings are necessary for for major expansions of the USL (Page II-21) : (1) extension of sewer service will not overburden the sewer plant or collection system; and (2) extension of sewer service will not affect sewer service to priority areas, such as cease and desist areas. The Chief of Wastewater Operations has affirmed these findings . Lastly, Lot Line Adjustment 95008 would merge the six existing lots into two parcels of approximately 9 acres each to reflect the proposed zone change. Conditional Use Permit The CUP process is necessary for non-residential projects in excess of 10, 000 square feet. The proposed expansion of the Factory Outlet is comprised of two commercial buildings - Building A, a 45, 927 square foot retail building and Building B, a 37, 256 square foot retail building. This expansion will provide approximately 20 new retail stores. Four hundred sixty- four (464) parking spaces are provided, including a proper mix of compact, RV, and handicapped spaces. The architectural style will relate to the contemporary Spanish theme of Phase I, while incorporating the new color scheme recently approved by the Planning Commission. The project is enhanced by arcade walkways, trellis elements, and new landscaping combined with retention of native vegetation. The project basically complies with the development standards as contained in Chapter 4 of the Zoning Ordinance. The setbacks and height limits of the Commercial Park zone are satisfied. As indicated in the EIR, the installation of fire sprinklers and a height limit on habitable building space will allow adequate fire prevention. Parking spaces are provided well in excess of the 1 : 300 ratio of the Ordinance for retail purposes. The parking areas have been planned for a generous amount of landscaping - 15 percent of the parking areas as compared to the ten percent requirement. Conditions have been suggested to break up the long rows of parking with landscaped islands and to ensure that the parking spots facing El Camino Real are adequately screened. The building architecture and colors of Phase I will be reflected, but not duplicated in the Phase II design. The dominant design feature of the existing center - plaster siding and tile roofing with a consistent pattern of archway openings - is continued in the new project. These features are enhanced by wood elements, such as trim bands, trellises, siding on towers, and beams. Two large oaks, along with fountains and outdoor seating are to be incorporated into a plaza at the front of Building A. Many of these site and building design features are 8 00 00,66 direct policies of the City' s Appearance Review Guidelines . Tentative Tract Map The proposed subdivision is composed of 30 single family residential parcels, ranging in size from approximately 7, 000 to 17, 000 square feet. A mixture of three and four bedrooms, as well as single and two-story models, is proposed. Each proposed residence contains a two-car garage; living areas range in size from 1, 434 to 1, 950 square feet. The residential architecture is reminiscent of Atascadero Colony homes with craftsman era detailing, horizontal wood siding, porches, and trellises . The proposed subdivision is designed in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance and the PD7 requirements for planned development residential subdivisions. The orientation of the housing units emphasizes the living areas, and not the garages . The two-story units contain smaller second floor areas so as not to create a "box-like" structure. Since these lots are larger than the PD7 subdivisions the City typically reviews, the requirements for building coverage and landscaping/open space are clearly satisfied. Two of the proposed parcels are just short of meeting the minimum street frontage - a condition is included to address this slight shortcoming. From a recent cover article of Newsweek to a local model ordinance, the "neo-traditional" planning model is gaining favor as one method to reverse some of the less desirable characteristics associated with many newer housing developments . The City' s PD7 is a version of this approach. Quite simply, "neo-traditional" planning is an attempt to preserve small town and rural character by providing an increased sense of neighborhood. Representative features of "neo-traditional" planning include smaller lots oriented toward the street, narrow streets, street trees, front porches, and the integration of jobs, schools, housing, shopping, and recreation in proximity to one another. Thus, the mixed use nature of the entire project is also an example of this approach. The model ordinance recently adopted by SLOCOG is voluntary and Atascadero is not bound to its guidelines in any way. Furthermore, just because "neo-traditional" planning may be trendy in the land use profession does not mean that it is necessarily appropriate for Atascadero. Call it what you will, however, but many of these principles are just good land use planning. In addition to supporting the mixed use nature of the project and the traits of the housing development, these planning principles promote the proposed 40 foot right-of-way for the new streets, as. opposed to the City standard 50 foot. The narrower width provides two-way traffic with 12' drive lanes, 5' sidewalk on one side of Vaquero Lane, and a 8' parking lane on one side of • 9 000067 the street. As the EIR indicates, this alternative reduces the necessary grading and impact on the site' s oak trees, while still maintaining adequate vehicular circulation and emergency access . • CONCLUSIONS: The 1914 Colony subdivision and the 1954 alignment of U.S . 101 are still the major determinants of Atascadero' s land use pattern. Rarely has the City had the opportunity to review a mixed use, transitional project without the lot size and ownership being dictated by historical circumstances . Thus, City staff has treated this as one project, albeit with two distinct components . Likewise, a comprehensive EIR was prepared to analyze the potential impacts from all the applications that m r comprise this project. The residential and commercial parts of the project do require separate Findings, however, so a separate set of recommended conditions has been prepared. These conditions incorporate the recommended mitigation measures of the EIR, as well as more standard conditions of development from City departments . These conditions address the impacts raised in the EIR and the concerns from neighboring residents as expressed in writing and at the Draft EIR public hearing. The result is a project which will be compatible with its surroundings and at the same time provide new shopping and housing opportunities .

The primary purpose for this request is to provide the appropriate Commercial Park(CPK)zone for expansion of the Atascadero Factory Outlets. Project Scope The property under consideration includes 6 parcels at the southeast corner of El Camino Real at Del Rio Road. Five parcels front on El Camino Real, directly across from the Atascadero Factory Outlets. The sixth parcel fronts on Del Rio Road and is contiguous with the other properties. Four of the lots have homes on them with various outbuildings. The remaining two lots are vacant. The applicant is acquiring this property to expand the Atascadero Factory Outlets center. This Phase 2 development is proposed for the lower half of the property(approximately 9 acres) • fronting on El Camino Real, directly across from the existing center. The proposed expansion will double the size of the center by adding approximately 85,000 square feet of new shops. (This portion of the project will be reviewed concurrently as a Conditional Use Fermit.) The upper half of the property(approximately 9 acres), including the parcel fronting on Del Rio Road, is proposed for residential development to provide a transition between commercial and suburban land use. (This portion of the project will be reviewed concurrently as a Tentative Tract application with master plan review.) General Plan /Zone Designation The current land use designations are Neighborhood Commercial and Suburban Single Family. The current zoning is CN(Neighborhood Commercial) and RS (Resideritial Suburban). The applicant is proposing changes in the land use designations to Commercial Park and Low Density Multi-family, with related zoning changes to CPK (Commercial Park) and RMF-10 [PD7] (Residential Multiple Family-Planned Overlay Zone 7). The proposed commercial designation expands the commercial use area which will reinforce the commercial"node" at the Highway 101 intersection. The CPK zone will provide the appropriate zoning for expansion of the outlet center, and requires environmental and design approval through the Conditional Use Permit process. Camou Associates \950537\gpastmt.doc 1 9/28/95 0000"61 1 ATTACHMENT_ C. (CONT. ) .... .. ,� CITY OF ATASCADERO r%5CAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT The proposed multi-family residential designation will add a transition area between commercial development and the existing suburban single-family uses.The PM-10[PD7] zone will establish development densities ranging from 3.8 to 5 units per acre based on slope and unit size. The applicant is proposing development of single family homes on lots ranging from 7000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. The proposed PD overlay requires master plan review and approval that will provide an opportunity for thorough environmental and design review. Urban Service Line At present, the Urban Service Line conforms to the current limits of the commercially zoned property at this intersection. This application requests that the USL be changed to include the subject property so that the commercial and residential development in these new zones can be served with sewer. Sewer facilities constructed for the Atascadero Factory Outlets-Phase 1 -are physically available in El Camino Real for service to these properties. Adequate capacity is available in this system to accommodate the proposed development. The project property will be added to the Benefit Assessment Area for this sewer line. The project will be required to pay reimbursement fees(based on acreage)to help pay down the obligations of the assessment district. The added acreage and fees will lower the reimbursement obligation for other properties already included in the Benefit Assessment Area. Lot Line Adjustment The proposed zone lines do not conform to existing property lines. The applicant is prepared to complete a lot line adjustment, with staff approval, creating a new property line that will follow the separation line between residential and commercial zones of development.

DEPARTMENT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: Atascadero Factory Outlets - Phase 2 SUPPLEMENTAL DEVELOPMENT STATEMENT Project Scope Investee proposes to develop an 85,000 square foot addition to the Atascadero Factory Outlet, located at the Del Rio intersection of U.S. Highway 101. This Phase 2 of the Atascadero Factory Outlets will provide twenty new stores, thereby improving its competitive position with the Pismo Beach and Tulare outlets. Located directly across El Camino Real from the existing Center, the project will be constructed on 9.2 acres of gently sloping hillside. Project Design Project architecture will utilize the Spanish theme in a contemporary interpretation which was successfully presented in the first phase. By taking advantage of the site topography, Phase 2, together with the existing Phase 1, will create a village feel for the combined commercial projects. Two specimen oak trees will be the focal point for the project when integrated into a plaza designed to take advantage of their natural beauty. Water elements will create additional ambiance in the plaza's seating areas. Connected to the Phase I by a landscaped promenade, Phase 2 will provide several amenities designed to promote accessibility and enjoyment of the facility. Pedestrian walkways at the storefronts will be both open and covered with an arcade and occasional trellis work. A.D.A. accessibility requirements have been strictly implemented. RV and bus parking zones and an improved parking ratio will better accommodate visitors to the center. A sign package, concurrently under design, will be submitted to modify signage criteria in the CPK zone. The new sign design package is intended to attract significant numbers of travelers/shoppers passing on the freeway. The implementation of an improved tenant signage opportunity is fundamental to the continued success of Phase 1 and essential:to the owner's ability to attract tenants for Phase 2. Scheduling The proposed commercial development may be constructed in two phases with Building A(south portion of the site)being the initial structure constructed. Building B would follow as the second phase of construction. Construction will follow a successful leasing program which will be initiated upon receipt of entitlements and approval of the sign package.

DEPARTMENT Operations and Employment Employment opportunities are expected to be similar to Phase 1 of the outlets. Phase 1 shops currently employ 80-100 full and part-time individuals Seasonal adjustments for normal retailing work load could bring a 20% increase in total employment. After researching a number of other outlet facilities, Atascadero Factory Outlets hours have been set to the'following: Monday-Saturday 10-8, Sundays 10-7. Holiday hours will be Monday- Saturday 10-9, Sunday 10-7 from October 31 through January 1. All holiday"eves" are closing at 6 pm. Atascadero Factory Outlet is currently building a bus tour program with schedules during normal business hours, usually in the mornings to mid-aftemoon time frame. Maintenance, trash and delivery schedules for Phase 2 are expected to be the same as current } Phase 1 operations, which are as follows: • The current Phase 1 refuse pickup schedule is Mon/Wed/Fri for both recycle and standard refuse removal. Pickup time is usually between 7-7:30 am by overhead truck lift equipment.. Phase 2 operations will use compactors which usually are emptied mid-mornings by service trucks on a twice-monthly schedule. w • Vendor deliveries are generally during normal business hours. Some shipments may be delivered in the morning hours, around 7-8 am, especially during holiday or seasonal merchandise changes. • Parking lot sweeping is performed Mon/Wed/Fri between 6-8 am with occasional schedule changes due to weather, equipment, or additional service requirements. Landscape contractors are scheduled during morning hours, once a week, and use power equipment on a limited basis due to the type of landscaping.

This moderately dense residential neighborhood will act as transition or buffer separating the lower density suburban residential areas to the north and east from the commercial development along El'Camino Real. Proposed lot sizes range from 7,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. The smallest lots have been located adjacent to the commercial property with lamer lots adjacent to Rio Rita Road and the lower density residential areas. The subdivision has been designed so that there is no need for a home owner's association. The streets are intended to be public and will be offered for.dedication with the tract mzp. The detention basin and other large open spaces have been designed on individual lots, subject to restrictions that protect their purpose, and made the responsibility of the individual lot owner to maintain. Housing Design Three and four bedroom houses are proposed, ranging from 1,434 square feet to 1,950 square feet of living area with 2-car garages for all homes. Both single and two-story models are planned. These homes have been carefully designed to integrate with the rural housing typical of the area. The original"Colony houses" of Atascadero have served as an inspiration for the architecture. The homes feature prominent front (and rear) porches, and craftsman detailing historic to the community. Garages have been set back from the front elevations so that they appear less dominant to the street. The houses are intentionally wider than basic tract homes, allowing for more yard space, wider lots, and longer drives, which enhances the rural feeling of the project. Building materials will include horizontal lapped siding, composition roof shingles, and turned porch columns and railings. The floor plans have been designed to be extremely flexible. French doors open onto both front and rear porches embracing expansive views. Each plan can be"flipped" and"reversed" as needed to allow each house to utilize each site to its best advantage. Each prototype has two separate roof configurations and slightly different detailing, some incorporating trellises on which flowering vines can grow. This flexdbility allows for maximum variations throughout the project and will lend a more "custom" feeling to the development. This residential project is intended to fill a perceived need for entry level housing in Atascadero in the price range of$150,000 to S 175,000. Cannon Associates 000100 \9505371ttmsnnt.doe 1 10/30/95 � � ATTACHMENT R (CONT . ) 11 L OF ATI-k-S CgDERO ��T� CO�Lf.Lfli�I1TY DEVELOP�LfENT �..� DE PARTMEVT Project Density With approval of the concurrent General Plan amendment and rezone, the project property will be zoned KNIF-10 (PD7). This zoning allows development densities based on average slope of the property and the number of bedrooms in the units proposed. The average nope for this property (calculated by the contour method) is 9%. The net acreage of the parcel, after deleting the area of the proposed road, is 7.57 acres. Therefore, the allowable density is 37.5 three-bedroom units(5 d.u. per acre), or 28.5 four-bedroom units (3.8 d.u. per acre). The proposed project offers a mix of 3- and 4-bedroom homes within the allowable density. The maximum building coverage allowed is 351'0. The overall coverage proposed for the project (includesbading and garage footprint) is 17%. Access and Parking, . Access to the project is from Del Rio Road, which will be improved to City standards for a collector street, including curb,gutter and sidewalk- Because idewalkBecause of the hillside nature of the site terrain, the main interior road (Vaquero Lane)is proposed to be a modified hillside collector in a 40-foot right-of-way. Vaquero Lane will be 32 feet wide, including 2 traffic lanes with parking on the west side only. A 5' sidewalk is proposed along the parkin;lane. Each home is designed with a two-car garage that meets the two-car parking requirement, and each driveway is long enough to provide sufficient space for at least two guest cars. The provision of on-street parking seems appropriate because curb and gutter precludes parking on the road shoulder. However, providing parking on both sides of the street would require a wider street section that is inappropriate to the hillside terrain, and unnecessary-xith the on-site parking provided for each home. The setback requirements of the PD overlay zone are all met or exceeded in the project, as described on the Development Master Plan. Private open space in excess of 900 square feet is provided for each home in the backyard area of each lot. Streets and circulation are adequate for individual trash pick-up as required by the zone, and all homes will specify low flow water fixtures as required. Scheduling Construction of this residential development is intended to follow the completion of Phase 2 of the Atascadero Factory Outlets. Home construction would be phased in groups of ten to twelve. Landscaping/Tree Protection The residential master plan is designed to preserve all the existing major oak trees, and other existing trees as well. Areas along the northeast property line have been identified as planting easements for additional buffer and screen areas. These zones can also serve as receiver sites for the tree mitigation • associated with the outlet center development. Cannon Associates 000101 \95053Tttmstmt.doc 2 10130/95 ATTACHMENT S ....

Both plans propose 30 lots. The original residential 32-lot proposal is hereby withdrawn. Alternate"A"- Meets City Street Standards Alternate"A" proposes a 50-foot right-of-way for both Vaquero Lane and Estrella Court. The proposed street section is city standard T405 for local streets, with 36 feet curb-to-curb and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of all streets. This typical section provides two-way traffic with 10' drive lanes, and 3' parking lanes on both sides of the street. Minor alignment changes were made to Vaquero Lane to maintain good separation between street improvements and the oak trees on Lots 3 and 4. Though not requested at this time, the Estrella Court alignment was modified to address the arborist's comments retarding protection of the oak tree on Lot 11. The new alignment provides greater separation between the tree aa.d proposed street and driveway improvements. The lot lawout was modified in response to the street changes. The significant changes were made at Lots 4,5 and 6 and at Lots 28 and 29. One lot was deleted in each location to address changes in front setback locations and to maintain required rear vard dimensions. ` Alternate "B"- Preferred Alternative Alternate'`B" proposes a 40-foot right-of-way for both Vaquero Lane and Estrella Court. The proposed street section is modified, with 32 feet curb-to-curb and a 5- foot sidewalk on one side of Vaquero Lane. This typical section provides two-way \9505371response.doc 000 Oti Cll L OF AT�SC� ATTACHMENT S (CONT . ) _ .DERO ��cw.b.�� CO�tit:LIL VIT l Dt TlCLOP�tiICNT ' DEPARTMENT traffic with 12' drive lanes, and a 3' parking lane on one side of the street. This layout includes the same alignment changes to Vaquero Lane and Estrella Court as were made for Alternate"A The applicant prefers this alternative because it: • reduces the Grading impact on adjacent oak trees by eliminating the sidewalk and constructing a narrower street section. • maintains adequate two-way traffic lanes. • reduces paving impacts by eliminating the parking lane on one side of the street. • provides on-street parking adjacent to the lots with shortest driveways (minimum 35 feet). • allows deeper rear yards, or more setback variety along street frontage, > because of the narrower right-of-way. Both alternatives propose 30 units/lots. In both plans, extended driveway lengths (up to 70 feet)provide adequate room for west parking in lieu of on-street parking. Each alternative would require the removal of three additional trees at Lot 22, all of which are elms and of no native significance. No changes have been made to reduce the overall cul-de-sar,length. A preliminary review of the plan by the fire department indicates that they can support the layout with fire hydrants placed per fire department requirements. I believe any other items requested in the letter of completeness have been provided by the applicant. Please let me know if you need any additional information or plan sets.

HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS 1 . GENERA: PLAN AMENDMENT 95008/ZONE CHANGE 95013/ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95010/LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT 95008/ TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 95006: Consider the certification of a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and approval of the applications associated with the Atascadero Factory Outlet Phase II and Tentative Tract 2215 . The project applicant is Investec, being represented by Andrew Merriam, Cannon Associates. Subject site is located at 2055-2375 El Camino Real/5505 Del Rio. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: (Davidson) The Planning Commission should recommend the following actions to the City Council : 1. That the Final EIR be certified as an adequate document under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . 2 . That General Plan Amendment 95008 be approved as contained in Resolution No. 70-96 (Attachment D) . 3 . That Zone Change 95013 be approved as contained in Ordinance No. 309 (Attachment E) . 4 . That Lot Line Adjustment be approved based on the Findings for Approval and the Conditions of Approval as contained in Attachment G. 5 . That Conditional Use Permit 95010 be approved based on the Findings for Approval contained in Attachment L and the Conditions of Approval in Attachment M. 6 . That Tentative Tract Map 95006 (Tract 2215) be approved based on the Findings for Approval in Attachment U and the Conditions of Approval in Attachment V. TESTIMONY: Charles Eckbera, Vice President of Investec, representing the applicants, introduced his design team and provided a historical view of the project' s development. He feels this project reflects good, careful planning. He indicated that they have looked at the traffic light and agreed with the study. He does not agree with the 000112 Planning Commission Meeting, August 20, 1996 pedestrian overpass. The fact that this is "one project" was emphyasized. He pointed out that the EIR proves that this project is acceptable and will be a wonderful addition to the community. Eckberg asked the Commission for its support. ' He also asked the Commission to vote tonight rather than continue this further. Even a "no" vote is preferable to a continuance. Andrew Merriam, representative from Cannon Associates, discussed the comments from the community and expanded on the planning steps taken to produce this end result. Access on Del Rio at peak hours (for a commercial project) was discussed. He downplayed the impact. On a related issue, he discussed the .view and accessibility onto Del Rio from Vaquero Lane, which was raised in the EIR and meets all the sight distance requirements. Regarding the number of school children generated by the project, he indicated that Atascadero has an average of 2 .75 people per household. The school district states that of that number approximately .5 of this number will be a child in elementary school . Consequently, of the 30 units, there will be roughly 15 elementary students going to San Benito school. He expressed appreciation to the staff on this project. He agreed with the conditions set by staff on this project with the exception of the 50- foot right-of-way proposed by staff for the residential street. The applicants request a 40-foot right-of-way due to grading difficulties and oak tree preservation. He asked for an exemption from the 50-foot requirement. James LeCron, of Arri LeCron Design Associates, an architect on this project, explained the concepts underlying the design of the outlet Phase II . Karen Arri, of Arri LeCron Design Associates, elaborated on the tie-in to the Phase I "Village Concept. " Oak trees are the focal point of the project, with towers articulating the project. The residential project incorporates historical housing styles, with trellises, vines and pastel colors . She showed the three proposed plans . Ardean Werner, 4999 -Del Rio, testified against the residential project even though he supported the commercial project. He sees the intersection of Del Rio and E1 Camino Real as a big, traffic problem and is also concerned about the oaks in the tract. He feels the density should be 3/4 acre lots . Shirley Werner, 4999 Del Rio, submitted a letter on 6/8/96 against the tract but not the shopping center. She feels traffic on Del Rio is a problem because of a blind curve in front of her house. There is no safe place to walk on Del Rio. She is also concerned about drainage and about being able to keep her animals once this project is fully developed. Mrs . Werner is also concerned about the sewers . She submitted two letters into the record that were left on her doorstep from unknown sources . 0o0113 Planning Commission Meeting, August 20, 1996 Marilyn Dauffenbach, is against the residential project, but not the shopping center. She pointed out that there are less expensive houses for sale in the City. She feels this project destroys the existing rural character of Atascadero. Marlene Shannon, 4835 Del Rio Road, is against the housing tract as is the entire neighborhood on Rio Rita. She is concerned about safety of children. She also expressed concern about Rio Rita being private property with the same liability and maintenance issues . Consequently, she and her neighbors asked for a 6 foot to 8 foot block wall between the project and Rio Rita. Stan Cherry, 5355 E1 Verano, supports the expansion of the commercial project. Micki Ready, of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce, supports the project. As a private citizen, Ms. Ready also supports the project because she feels new housing is needed. Existing housing is often not of acceptable quality. She feels Atascadero needs this project. Terrell Graham, 6205 Conejo Road, by Graves Creek, lost 350 yards of dirt in his creek area with Phase I . He is concerned that Phase II will further erode his property. Graham expressed concern about protecting the water quality of the creek and he wanted the Commission to continue this subject for further publication. Robert Shannon, 4835 Del Rio, agrees with the Werners that the EIR is incorrect in saying that Del Rio is a "typical residential road. " He contends the school system is at or beyond capacity. The. lighting is still a problem in Phase I. He is concerned about an "incremental creep, " including a huge amount of new development and changing rules as we go. Donald Jones, 4585 Viscano, indicated that these are two (2 ) distinct projects . He referred to Attachments N and O of the tentative tract map, saying that the map being presented was not the map noticed. He feels that this is a violation of the notice procedure. Since this has not been properly noticed, it cannot properly be called for a vote tonight. He called for a point of order. J.P. Patel, owner/operator of the Best Western Colony Inn located at 3600 E1 Camino Real, supports the proposal as an entire project. Lee Peters, who lives on Rio Rita, commented that this is one of "the slickest, best orchestrated, well organized demonstrations" he' s ever seen and he' s seen a few. He does not object to the Factory Outlet' s expansion; however, he does object to 30 houses next to his property. 000114 Planning Commission Meeting, August 20, 1996 Rush Kolemaine, Box 1990, Atascadero, expressed that Investec has done a good job of buffering the commercial zone from the residential zone. However, he is still concerned about traffic problems. Del Rio is the most dangerous race course in Atascadero. Zero percent traffic impact going east during rush hours is not true. There needs to be a road developed from Vaquero to El Camino Real to eliminate the traffic impacts on Del Rio. He suggested splitting this proposal into two projects. Richard Shannon, 5070 San Benito Road, co-developer of Phase I, answered a question raised by a previous speaker having to do with the project viability. He supports the expansion. Charles Eckberg, of Investec, responded to some of the comments and questions from testimony. He explained that no trees will be lost in the residential project and that drainage would be improved by the project. He expressed that he was open to a block wall if that was requested. He stated that the project was well published and there was never any attempt to mislead anyone. He asked staff to respond to the procedural issue raised by Mr. Jones. Mr. Eckberg answered a question regarding communication in the neighborhood, responding that he made a reasonable effort but was ignored. He suggested that electric shuttles may be used to transport customers back and forth between Phase I and II . Andrew Merriam, indicated that the same map has been used throughout this process . John Falkenstein, of Cannon Associates, answered a question posed by Commissioner Johnson regarding slope of detention basins. He stated that the slope of detention basins is 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 . The subdivision' s full landscape plan will address drainage. He indicated that traffic engineers have no plan to change the intersection at Del Rio and E1 Camino Real. Don Jones spoke again and indicated that the map you see is not the map to be built. The plans are not the same, so the Commission cannot vote. Rush Kolemaine spoke again indicating that the map doesn' t accurately show curb breaks at intersections . Consequently, he feels the EIR is inadequate for the two separate projects . 0001.35 Planning Commission Meeting, August 20, 1996 ACTION: Recommend to the City Council that the Final EIR be certified as an adequate document under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . Motion: Johnson Second: Wallace AYES: Johnson, Wallace, Bowen, Sauter, Hageman, Zimmerman, Edwards NOES: None ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED: 7:0 ACTION: Recommend to the City Council that General Plan Amendment 95008 be approved as contained in Resolution No. 70-96 (Attachment D) . Motion: Johnson Second: Wallace AYES : Johnson, Wallace, Bowen, Edwards NOES: Sauter, Hageman, Zimmerman ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED: 4:3 Comments on the Vote: Commissioner Sauter reluctantly voted no on this because he believes these- projects should be considered separately. Commissioner Hageman concurs with Commissioner Sauter' s comments. Consequently, her vote reflects this position. Commissioner Zimmerman concurs with Commissioners Sauter and Hageman. He cannot vote for what he feels will be the beginning of the "Los Angeles ization" of the entire northern end. He is in favor of the Factory Outlet and is reluctantly voting no because the projects are combined. He cannot support the housing as presented. 000116 Planning Commission Meeting, August 20, 1996 ACTION: Recommend to the City Council that Zone Change 95013 be approved as contained in Ordinance No. 309 (Attachment E) . Motion: Johnson Second: Wallace AYES: Johnson, Wallace, Bowen, Edwards NOES: Sauter, Hageman, Zimmerman ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED: 4:3 Comments on the Vote: Commissioner Sauter' s remarks remain the same. He must reluctantly vote no on the motion because of his feeling that it should be separate from the commercial project. ACTION: Recommend to the City Council that Lot Line Adjustment be approved based on the Findings for Approval and the Conditions of Approval as contained in Attachment G. Motion: Johnson Second: Wallace AYES: Johnson, Wallace, Bowen, Edwards NOES: Sauter, Hageman, Zimmerman ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED: 4:3 ACTION: Motion to continue past 11 : 00 p.m. Motion: Johnson Second: Bowen AYES : Johnson, Bowen, Wallace, Sauter, Hageman, Zimmerman, Edwards NOES: None ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED: 7 :0 000117 Planning Commission Meeting, August 20, 1996 ACTION: Recommend to the City Council that Conditional Use Permit 95010 be approved based on the Findings for Approval contained in Attachment L and the Conditions of Approval in Attachment M, including all staff amendments and the amendment of item 42(e) , stating, "The intersection monitoring shall begin on the date . . . and shall continue for one year beyond the final inspection of last tenant improvement constructed on the site. " Motion: Johnson Second: Bowen AYES: Johnson, Bowen, Wallace, Sauter, Hageman, Zimmerman, Edwards NOES: None ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED: 7:0 Comments on the Vote: Commissioner Sauter commented that he could vote favorably on this motion because it makes no mention of the residential project. Ouestion on the Next Action: Mr. Foote responded to Commissioner Wallace' s question about whether Atascadero Unified School District was noticed for the EIR. He and Mr. Davidson confirmed that they were noticed, but no response, verbal or written, was received. ACTION: Recommend to the City Council that Tentative Tract Map 95006 (Tract 2215) be approved based on the Findings for Approval in Attachment U and the Conditions of Approval in Attachment V, as amended by staff, as well as adding a 6-foot fence on the easterly side. Motion: Johnson Second: Wallace AYES: Johnson, Wallace, Edwards NOES: Sauter, Bowen, Hageman, Zimmerman ABSENT: None MOTION FAILED: 3:4 000118 Planning Commission Meeting, August 20, 1996 Discussion on the Motion: Commissioner Sauter reminded the Commissioners that a yes vote on this motion indicates approval for the construction of 30 residential housing units on a parcel of land of somewhat less than nine acres in a town that still likes to think of itself as a rural town. Commissioner Hageman also reminded the Commissioners that approval of this would extend the Urban Service Line. and include another 30 lots within the USL. - Commissioner Bowen reminded the Commissioners that the need for affordable housing is important. Existing housing is of low quality. However, it is also incumbent upon the developer to be a good neighbor; that means contacting the adjacent property owners who will be most impacted. Commissioner Zimmerman feels that larger lots can be affordable. Commissioner Johnson disagreed that larger lots can be affordable because the land is too expensive. This is a great opportunity for starter houses . 2 .

" 000119 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item• B-3 Through: Andrew J. Takata Meeting Date: 09/10/96 City Manager From: Doug Davidson, Senior Planner SUBJECT• Request for future sewer hook-up to a site (8005 San Gabriel) located outside the Urban Services Line (USL) . Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 96008 is being currently reviewed for a church at this location. RECOHMENDATION Adoption of Resolution No. 83-96 authorizing sewer hook-up for a proposed church at 8005 San Gabriel if CUP 96008 is approved. BACKGROUND: The attached letter from Eric Gobler, Civil Engineer, on behalf of Hope Lutheran Church requests that an exception be made to the City' s General Plan policies to enable a hook-up to the sewer line that serves the San Gabriel Elementary School. It is his conclusion that based on the percolation tests, septic system failures in area, and the proximity to "cease and desist" areas that every effort should be made to connect to the existing sewer line on San Gabriel. A sewer hook-up in the vicinity was also approved by the City Council on December 8, 1992 for Deborah Goodyear at 8475 San Gabriel Road. This existing home, also located outside the USL, experienced a septic system failure and was allowed to connect to the sewer line in San Gabriel. This was considered a "temporary" hook-up contingent upon initiation of a General Plan Amendment to allow sewer connections outside the USL for certain problem sites. This Amendment to the General Plan was never processed. GENERAL PLAN POLICIES: As shown on the attached General Plan Map, the property is located outside of the Urban Services Line, but abutting San Gabriel Road. An exception was made to the General Plan's language to enable the extension of sewer to the school site after percolation tests determined that an on-site system would be impractical. A similar determination can be made in this case. 000IL20 General Plan policies pertaining to this matter are as follows: II-7 "Suburban Services Area" . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . Importantly sewer service will not be provided in this area except for 'cease and desist' septic problem areas and where approved by the City Council for public uses. " II-8 "Residential The accompanying Land Use Plan Map broadly distinguishes between two types of residential areas: (1) areas within the Urban Service Line which are characterized by sewer service and urban densities, and (2) areas beyond the Urban Services Line which are characterized as suburban single family large lot areas (including agricultural enclaves) which are on private sewer system. " II-12 "Suburban residential areas are outside the Urban Service Line; however, sewer service may be provided to 'cease and desist' areas with the residential density standards to remain unaffected. " II-21 "Priority for provision of sewer service shall be as follows: Areas Not Requiring Amendment of the General Plan: 1 . Cease and desist areas and other septic problem areas within the Urban Service Line. 2 . Other areas within the Urban Service Line. 3. Cease and desist areas beyond the Urban Service Line. " The General Plan Update, which was adopted in January 1992, carefully allowed for providing sewer service to areas outside the Urban Services Area when designated as a cease and desist area by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The property in question, however, is not within, but adjacent to the designated cease and desist area. Regional Water Quality Control Board staff has indicated that it would take approximately one year to process an amendment to its, map. Staff is not sure of the reasons behind the failure to act on the General Plan Amendment intended to allow sewer connection exceptions. Since it has yet to be acted on, staff would offer the following argument for Council consideration. The General Plan policies on sewer connection and the Urban Services Line should remain as written - providing exception criteria in the General Plan could invite additional requests. As it stands, this is only the second such request since the sewer line was installed for San Gabriel Elementary in 1989. This situation - an existing sewer line outside the USL - is unique in Atascadero. 000121 Another reason for not changing Urban Services Line policies of the General Plan, is that the subject request is consistent with the Land Use Element. As cited above, the Council may authorize sewer connection beyond the USL for "public" uses. Churches are one of the primary land uses in the City' s Public zone and if not "public" by definition, certainly "quasi-public" in nature. Although staff thinks that the proposed church is an appropriate use in this location, the public hearing before the Planning Commission will be the deciding factor. Staff has written the attached Resolution for only a church at this location - if this land use is not approved the Resolution is null and void. Future single family residences or other uses must make every effort to design an adequate septic system and are not eligible for this exception. CONCLUSION: By not changing the General Plan text or extending the Urban Services Line to this site, the impacts of this request are limited to the proposed church development. Growth inducement or impacts on the City' s sewer system should not be concerns. The Chief of Wastewater Operations has confirmed that the sewer line can handle the effluent from the church and that there are no impacts on the collection system or treatment plant capacity. The church development encompasses two single family residential parcels and • has higher peak flows, but only on a periodic basis. Thus, in light of site specific circumstances and applicable Land Use policies, staff recommends that the City Council allow a sewer connection for 8005 San Gabriel Road contingent on CUP 96008 being approved by the Planning Commission.

In resPmw to your request regarding sewage disposal, I offer the following for your consideratiom Although servers currently exist in San Gabriel Road fronting these parcels, the project is just outside the Urban Service boundary. The location seems quite suitable for the planned develgmeat; however, onsite sewage disposal is a seventy limitirig factor: On April 22, 1996, 1 performed percolation testing on the two parcels(copy enclosed). Percolation is very poor, but typical to the area. In my opinion, it will be difficult to install an onsite septic system for the proposed development. In fact, it is questionable whether- or not sufficient useable area even exists for septic systems serving single family residence.. This is not srrprising considering the history of septic system failures in the area. Based on my experience, this is one of the worst septic system areas in Atascadcro due to poor soil conditions and seasonally saturated soils. Neighboring parcels are located within the Califtomia Regional Water Quality Control Boards Cease and Desist Area I, as ordered by Cease and Desist Order No. 92-68, July 10, 1992. Due to chronic septic system problems, Area I residents were required to connect to the existing sewers. A cursory inspection of the septic system serving the small existing residence on Parcel 2, indicates system failure can be expected in the near future. Upon system failure, conaearon to the available sewers is appropriate and likely will be required. Both City ordinance and the Uniform Plumbing Code require existing and proposed structures to conn= to public sewers when they are available(within 200 feet). In this case, both existing and proposed structure are within 200 feet of the existing sewer main, and in my opinion should be comected to the sewer "cn,L 000124 If the City has any coiicern about sewering this project, an additional factor to consider is that combining the two parcels for a church facility pre wAz the area's low density atmosphere,since a church is not in continual use and the p vpccty could not be used for high density residential ntial development. Although peak sewage flows will exceed those of a single facmly resit, average annual flow volumes may be similar depending on ukim tc use. Based on my agxncnce� the very Poor percolation test rrsuits, marginal soil conditions, the area's history of septic system failures, the Rgpoual Boaztts 4aarrt septic sy=n erase and desist designation, and longterm public bmkh and water quality concern% it seems logical, reasonable and Pudent that the proposed church,and the cdsting Parcel Z rmde nce(at such time as necessary)be eouoc ted to the existing san Gabriel Road sewcr main. In fact, I reed any developnxnt on tiusc parexis manage sewage disposal through rower saran. Please call if you have any questions or if additional information is n=ded. Respectfully submitted, 'c J.

Such testing is necessary to determine design parameters for onsite septic system construction. Percolation testing was performed according to procedures outlined-in the Manual of Septic Tank Practice (Taft Method). Test results are as follows: TEST NO. PERCOLATION DEPTH 1 40 min/in 48 in 2 120 min/in 51 in 3 320 min/in 49 in 4 240 min/in 50 in 5 120 min/in 461n 6 120 min/in 52 in Two deep excavations were made to depths of 15 feet to observe underlying conditions. Surface soils consist of silty clay. Subsurface soils include very weathered and fractured sand/siltstone. Perched ground water was encountered (seeping into deep trench sidewalls) between 10 and 11 feet in each deep trench. Detailed soil logs, percolation test data, and a site map are attached for reference. It is my opinion that shallow soils (less than five feet below ground surface) in the vicinity of test holes 1, 2, 5, and 6 are suitable for a conventional, yet engineered, absorption system. A conventional system can be designed in these two areas, but due to the very slow infiltration characteristics a percolation rate of at least 120 min/in must be used. At this percolation rate, the City requires septic system design considering an absorption area of 1250 square feet per bedroom. The design absorption area is based on the conservative criteria adopted by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. 000126 i -2- Using the City's criteria, a three bedroom residence will require at least 730 feet of trench utilizing a high capacity Infiltrator system or 625 feet of trench utilizing a three feet wide by three feet deep gravel leach system. The size of an adequate gravel system can be vaned slightly depending on trench width and gravel depth. An Infiltrator system size cannot vary since Infiltrator chambers have set widths and heights. The fact that ground water was encountered at ten plus feet must also be considered in the design. The minimum separation from ground water to the bottom of the leach system must be at least five feet. If onsite septic systems are used, installation of an Infiltrator-type system may be appropriate due to soil conditions and seasonal ground water depth. Topographic conditions and drainage patterns will also impact system design. As you are aware; the leach system must not be located on slopes that exceed 30%. Trench depths must be adjusted to ensure at least 15 feet to "daylight". Furthermore, the City requires certain setbacks from creeks and drainage swales. Sufficient area must be available for 100% expansion in the event system repair becomes necessary. Septic tank capacity should be at least 1200 gallons, unless the number of bedrooms exceeds four. Care will be required in designing and constructing new septic systems due to soil conditions, seasonal ground water, topography, drainage patterns, site configuration, and development plans. City and State officials are well aware of problematic septic systems in the area. Any site development other than a single family residence may be severely restricted (e.g., insufficient area for an adequate septic system). Considering site conditions, I believe onsite septic systems should be avoided and every effort should be made to connect to the existing sewer system. Please call if you have any questions or if additional information is needed. Respectfully submitted, �o,Wp SSIO*Wx F Yc'J. G ��-� GO lF� �y Civil Engineer RCE 30438 � NO.

WHEREAS, San Gabriel Road, east of Morro Road, has experienced numerous septic leach field failures and is adjacent to a designated "cease and desist" area; and WHEREAS, a Registered Civil Engineer, Eric J. Gobler, RCE 30438, has determined that the soils preclude installation of a practical septic system and that every effort should be made to connect to the City' s sewer system; and WHEREAS, there is a sewer line in front of this property in San Gabriel Road serving the San Gabriel Elementary School and a residence at 8475 San Gabriel Road; and WHEREAS, said property is located in the Suburban Residential (RS) land-use designation in the General Plan and is beyond the Urban Services Line; and WHEREAS, the extension of sewer service beyond the Urban Services Line is limited by the 1992 Land Use Element to "cease and desist" areas and with City Council authorization to "public" uses; and WHEREAS, this property is not within a "cease and desist" area as identified by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, but the proposed church development is a public use; and WHEREAS, this exception for sewer connection beyond the Urban Services Line is contingent upon the approval for a church development as presented in Conditional Use Permit 96008. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 1 . City Council agrees to permit the Hope Lutheran Church, at their own expense, to connect to the existing sewer line at 8005 San Gabriel Road (Parcels 2 and 3 of Parcel Map No. 88- 272, as recorded in Book 48, Page 19 of Parcel Maps in the Office of the County Recorder. ) 2.

DECAMP, City Planner 0001;34 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL Meeting Date: 9/10/96 CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item : C-1 Through: Andy Takata, City Manager From: Lee Price, City Clerk SUBJECT: Revisions to Ordinance No. 112, the "Traffic Committee Ordinance". RECOMMENDATION: 1) Waive reading in full of Ordinance No. 314. 2) Introduce Ordinance No. 314 on first reading by title only. BACKGROUND: At the August 27' City Council meeting, staff was directed to bring back a revision to Ordinance No. 112, which established the Traffic Committee, specifically as it relates to the number of citizens who may be appointed to the committee. DISCUSSION: Ordinance No. 314 amends Sections 4-3.209 and 4-3.210 in Chapter 3 of Title 4 of the Atascadero Municipal Code. The revisions are summarized, as follows: • The number of members-at-large has been increased from two (2) to three (3). The committee will now be a seven-member body. • The titles of certain members of staff who serve on the committee have been amended to more accurately reflect the positions. Also, the word "designee" has been added to provide greater flexibility. • The designation of the chairperson has been changed from the Director of Public Works to the Community Development Director. The position of Director of Public Works was eliminated in 1992 and, since that time, the committee has been chaired by the Community Development Director/designee. Because the City Engineer is on an hourly contract, it is most cost-effective to assign a permanent employee to the role of chair. • Added as ex-officio representatives are the Streets Supervisor (who regularly attends and provides expert input) and one youth representative (reflecting action taken in 1990 by the adoption of Resolution No. 109-90). • Language calling for staggered terms has been eliminated because annual recruitments are time-consuming for staff and Council alike. It is believed that the committee will run more efficiently if the terms expire concurrently. 000135 Report to City Council Meeting date: 9/10/96 Page 2 Agenda Item: #C-1 Language restricting the number of terms on the committee has also been deleted. There are no term limits for City Council or any other committee or board, and staff believes that this type of restriction is not necessary.

One very important aspect of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting when the membership takes action on conference resolutions. Annual Conference resolutions guide cities and the League in our efforts to improve the quality, responsiveness and vitality of local government in California. It is important that all cities be represented at the Business Meeting on Tuesday, October 15,at 9:30 a.m. at the Anaheim Convention Center. To expedite the conduct of business at this important policy-making meeting, each city council should designate a voting representative and an alternate who will be present at the Business Meeting. League bylaws provide that each city is entitled to one vote in matters affecting municipal or League policy. A voting card will be given to the city official designated by the city council on the enclosed "Voting Delegate Form." If the mayor or a member of the city council is in attendance at the Conference, it is expected that one of these officials will be designated as the voting delegate. However, if the city council will not have a registered delegate at the Conference but will be represented by other city officials, one of these officials should be designated the voting delegate or alternate. Please complete and return the enclosed"Voting Delegate Form"to the Sacramento office of the League at the earliest possible time(not later than Friday,September 27, 1996),so that proper records may be established for the Conference. The voting delegate may pick up the city's voting card at the designated Voting Card Table locatedin the League Registration Area. The voting procedures to be followed at this Conference are printed on the reverse side of this memo. Your help in returning the attached "Voting Delegate Form" as soon as possible is appreciated.

You won't find it labeled on any road map, but look again..." Harvey Arden, National Geographic,April 1984 SETTING San Luis Obispo County is located on the California Central Coast. Bound on the west by the Pacific ocean, the east by the Central Valley, and tucked within the Santa Lucia mountain range, the region encompasses seven separate and distinct incorporated cities -Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo - the County seat. San Luis Obispo County has several well established unincorporated communities including Los Osos, Cambria, Templeton, Nipomo, Oceano, and Cayucos to name a few. The County is distributed over 3,300 square miles, and contains over 2,300 centerline miles of publicly maintained roads.` . The City of San Luis Obispo is the area's main commercial hub, providing San Luis Obispo residents, and those living in the outlying bedroom communities with 40 percenO of the County's employment opportunities'-. Additionally, California State Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), located adjacent to the City, has an annual average enrollment of over 15,000 full and part-time students, and Cuesta College, located between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay, has 6,000 students during each quarter of the academic year. These three major attractors alone generate thousands of commute trips per day within San Luis Obispo County. The resulting commute patterns into and out of the San Luis Obispo area - primarily in single occupant vehicles - is reinforced by the County's geography; the low density and dispersed settlement pattern of the County; limited affordable housing in or near the City of San Luis Obispo; and a variety of attractive living environments within reasonable commute times of San Luis Obispo. Over the next 20 years it is expected that development patterns will change with significant growth directed to both the northern and southern areas of the County. This will have an important impact on public transit services throughout the County. 11992 Regional Profile - p.9 1992 Regional Profile - p. 1-8 000153 WHY PREPARE A LONG RANGE TRANSIT PLAN? Once voted the "best little city in the United States," San Luis Obispo provides it's residents with a quality of life unsurpassed anywhere else in the world. The Region's expansive natural beauty, Mediterranean climate, a world-famous education facility, year `round cultural events, and a stable economy attract thousands of new residents each year to the Central Coast. One of the ways this high quality of life has been maintained is through the cultivation of a multi modal transportation system that attempts to address the needs of both residents and visitors. San Luis Obispo County offers a wide range of transportation options that allow commuters and travelers to experience the beauty of the County, free of traffic congestion, parking headaches, and poor air quality. These transportation options were not developed accidentally. They emerged from the tireless efforts of residents, community groups and local government agencies interested in preserving the quality of life people have been enjoying here for decades. Additionally, extensive transportation research and planning, together with years of ample federal, state, and local funding, ensured that those efforts would not be wasted. Unfortunately the funding options, especially at the State and Federal levels, that once encouraged San Luis Obispo area municipalities to provide transportation options for • the purposes of improving traffic circulation, air quality, and general quality of life, have - been threatened. This has resulted in a need for long range planning that does not engender continual major capital investments, but rather, focuses on improvements to the existing system that: reward cost-efficiencies; promote system usability; and recognize both the limitations and the advantages of limited transportation funding. These actions will be crucial if the County is to effectively accommodate projected growth and thereby mitigate traffic congestion, air pollution and a general deterioration in the quality of life for all residents. WHO SHOULD READ THE PLAN? Everyone interested in maintaining a high quality of life in the San Luis Obispo Region for themselves and for their children. All residents are encouraged to read the plan. Local elected officials and the business community are especially encouraged to review the plan as well. In short, everyone has a stake in what happens in San Luis Obispo County and should get involved in the decision-making! PLANNING APPROACH This plan takes the reader from a documentation and analysis of the existing transit system, to projections of future demographics, transit ridership/miles, service frequency, and finally to the type of transit services that will most likely be needed to maintain and . improve current levels-of-service. 3 0003.54 It is not within the scope of this plan to provide precise service planning, due to the uncertainties of resources and growth projections. Instead, the plan forms a framework for anticipating and planning for the inevitable impacts of population growth on the transportation system. Ultimately, level-of-service "A" transit, as defined in the adopted Congestion Management Plan, is desirable and achievable within the twenty year time frame of this document. Additionally, this plan offers a variety of objectives and strategies that can be used to address the environment in which transit operates. The strategy concept involves documenting the objectives - most of which have been adopted by the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments or local governing bodies - and listing a number of strategies that can be used to meet the objectives. It is assumed here that historic levels of governmental grant funding will be maintained - at best - for the purposes of improving the transportation system; that the historical source of transit operating funds - Transportation Development Acta funds - will increase over the next twenty years by approximately S percent per year; and that local government and non-municipal resources - such as land developers and employers - will be mobilized to foster community development and lifestyles that promote mobility choices. Planning concepts, policies, and measurable objectives have been gathered from adopted. SLOCOG documents or are based on commonly held standards suggested by an independent transportation consultant. INTERMODAL CONNECTION This plan serves four purposes: 1. It identifies the region's main goals for improving the existing transit system and transit environment; 2. It provides a description of the existing system and projects how the system will look in ten and twenty years; 3 The Transportation Development Act, also known as the Mills- Alquist-Deddeh Act, which in the Legislature in 1971, found and declared that "..it is in the interest of the State that funds available for transit development be fully expended to meet the transit needs that exist in California, and that such funds be expended for physical improvement to improve the movement of transit vehicles, the comfort of the patrons, and the exchange of patrons from one transportation mode to another." • 4 000155 3. It serves as a "tool box" for managing efficient and effective transit services; and • 4. It provides a long-range planning framework to maintain an adequate transit system and promote land development improvements to adequately cope with future transportation needs. One of the most important aspects of transit planning is to consider the intermodal connection, i.e., the link that enables individuals to travel using a variety of transportation modes. A system with sufficient intermodal connections allows people to more conveniently use several modes of transportation without the worry of being stranded by one of those modes - a bikeway connected to a transit stop helps to complete a trip; a transit route linked to a rail station helps to complete a trip, and so on. Intermodality can be greatly improved through both infrastructure improvements and by policies that encourage it. For example, a policy has been adopted that allows bikes on regional transit buses, in addition to the one that requires all regional transit vehicles to be equipped with bike racks. Passengers are allowed to carry their bikes on board if the racks are full and space inside the bus permits thus eliminating the chance that a commuter will be stranded due to space limitations. Still, other modes must be considered when planning the transit system. Three intermodal centers with rail stations as the focal point are currently being planned in San Luis Obispo County: Grover Beach, Paso Robles, and the City of San Luis Obispo. These and other intermodal centers in the region - the downtown SLO Bus Transfer Center and the San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles airports - will provide connections between pedestrians, transit, rail users, automobiles, air travelers and cyclists. Land development patterns and transportation system integration can influence intermodal success. Future systems and service expansions should be planned according to, and influence, land development, potential commute patterns, and the demographic/economic future of the region. • 5 000156 xisting Transit Services - Currently there are nine public transit services operating in San Luis Obispo County: four fixed route and five demand responsive services. Almost all County residents have access to at least one of the services. Most of the existing services are operated by private contractors in order maximize operating efficiencies. Central Coast Area Transit (CCAT) is the regional fixed-route service providing city to city services generally within San Luis Obispo County. The operating agency, the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (SLORTA) administers the service which is jointly funded by the County of San Luis Obispo and each of the seven incorporated cities. The other three fixed route systems include: SLO Transit; Paso Robles Community Area Transit System (PR CATS) ; and South County Area Transit (SCAT). Demand- Response systems include: Atascadero Dial-A-Ride; Morro Bay Dia-A-Ride; Paso Robles Dial-A-Ride; South Bay Dial A Ride; and Runabout. There are sixty public transit vehicles in San Luis Obispo County. These vehicles are maintained and stored at a number of locations throughout the County. The sixty vehicles are evenly split between transit coaches for fixed route and vans for dial-a-ride services. FIXED ROUTE SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS Central Coast Area Transit (CCAT) CCAT is the regional fixed-route service. CCAT's seven routes extend along the Highway 10 1/1 corridors from Paso Robles and San Simeon Acres in the north, to Santa Maria in the South. Service hours are approximately 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The exceptions are Route 12, which operates Monday through Saturday and Route 8 which operates on weekday evenings. Headways vary by route: ranging from hourly to one trip per day. All regional buses are equipped with bicyce racks. There are six major regional locations where transfers can be made to other CCAT routes, as well as to local systems. These locations are listed below. • County Government Center (San Luis Obispo) • Morro Bay Park (Morro Bay) 6 0003,57 • loth Street and Los Osos Valley Road (Los Osos) • Atascadero City Hall (Atascadero) .

Two routes provide 35 to 45 minute reverse loops that enclose the city's main commercial and residential hubs, and is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pulse system, interconnects with CCAT and other transportation providers at the new multimodal station in downtown Paso Robles. • 7 000158 San Luis Obispo Transit (SLO Transit) SLO Transit is a fixed route system that serves the City of San Luis Obispo. All five routes converge downtown at City Hall. Four of the five routes also serve the California State University campus on the north side of town. The County Government Center is the location of the main transfer point between SLO Transit and CCAT. Most service is based on 30 or 60 minute headways. The service hours are Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. with limited seervcce on the weekends, and limited evening service during the academic year. The City owns the 13 vehicle fleet and all of the facilities. South County Area Transit (SCAT) SCAT is a fixed route system that serves the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and the communities of Shell Beach and Oceano. The system consists of four primary routes, and two early morning "trippers" that serve Arroyo Grande High School. Service is provided every 30 minutes Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to S p.m. Transfers to CCAT can be made at Ramona Park, the hub of the pulse system. The service is managed by a Joint Powers Board (JPB) consisting of elected officials from the five communities served by the system. PUBLIC DEAL-RIDE SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS Atascadero Dial-A-Ride Atascadero Dial-A-Ride serves residents within the city limits as well as limited service to Twin Cities hospital in Templeton. Service is available from 7 a.m. to S p.m.. Connections can be made with CCAT at several different locations throughout Atascadero's city limits. Morro Bay Dial-A-Ride Morro Bay Dial-A-Ride serves residents-within the City limits. Connections with CCAT can be made at Morro Park. Service is available from 7a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is no weekend service. Paso Robles Dial-A-Ride Paso Robles Dial-A -Ride provides services to residents of Paso Robles as well as limited service to people living within the Templeton Services District. The service hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is no weekend service. Connections with CCAT can be made in the downtown area along Spring Street and the multimodal center. 8 000159 South Bay Dial-A-Ride South Bay Dial-A-Ride provides door-to-door service for residents in the unincorporated communities of Loso Osos and Baywood Park. The service hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to S p.m. Connections with CCAT can be made at several locations in the two communities. Runabout Runabout is the regional dial-a-ride system and services as the ADA comparable service to all fixed routes in the County. It is the only dial-a-ride system in the County which provides inter-city service. The primary function of Runabout is to serve eldrly and/or disabled riders, although the general public may ride when space is available. Consistent with ADA requirements, the service hours are the same for both Runabout and CCAT. OTHER TRANSIT SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS Ride-On Transportation Management Association (TMA) Ride-On's TMA is.a nonprofit organization which provides a wide variety of alternative transportation services to increase mobility, reduce traffic congestion, reduce parking demand, and reduce air pollution. The TMA works with existing transit services to increase access to the fixed route systems and meet transportation needs which cannot be met through the current fixed route schedules. Ride-On TMA is currently providing vanpools for commuters which are available for the general public. Vanpools could be an alternative to sending a large transit bus into rural regions of San Luis Obispo County. The TMA's Emergency/Guaranteed Ride Home promotes transit through providing door-to-door rides for passengers who need to go home due to sickness, an emergency, or a need to work late. Ride-On TMA is available for feeder loops through the outlying areas of communities to bring commuters to the fixed route bus routes. Ride-On TMA attempts to reduce all types of single occupancy vehicle trips through providing the following services: - Vanpool Shuttles - Medical Shuttles - Lunchtime Express Shuttles - Kid Shuttles - Visitor Shuttles - Special Event Shuttles - Emergency/Guaranteed Ride Home - Safe Ride Home - Airport/Amtrak Shuttles - General Trip Shuttles 9 000.160 Ride-On TMA. is funded through a combination of transportation fares, membership dues, Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds, and grant funding. The services are developed by the TMA Steering Committee made up of business representatives, medical community, planners, government staff, and interested people from the general public. The TMA works directly with the community to maximize the current transit options and developing shuttle services to meet additional needs. Ride-On Consolidated Transporation Services Agency (CTSA) Ride-On's CTSA provides low-cost transportation services for cients of social services day programs. The CTSA keeps the costs low by paying the participating agencies for the use of the agencies' vehicles. The participating agency can then apply the revenue to the cost of the servie, and the CTSA can use the vehicle to its fullest potential. Subsidized Taxi Program Many cities in the South County utilize this low-cost service to provide door-to-door transportation for elderly and disabled riders. The rider purchases a ticket book in advance which contains several tickets for $2 each. The rider then uses one ticket per trip to pay the taxi fare. The balance of the trip cost is billed to the participating jurisdiction. Senior Van Program This is a funding program to assist senior van clubs operate club vehicles. The program pays the cost of vehicle insurance and fuel. The insurance is available at a reduced rate from a vehicle insurance pool. Senior clubs are currently receiving this benefit in San Miguel, Shandon, Cayucos, Cambria, and Nipomo. TRANSIT USAGE OVER THE YEARS In April, 1974, the City of San Luis Obispo initiated a two bus fixed route transit service that then carried approximately 142,000,-riders in the first year of service. An additional 18,000 elderly riders received service through eight senior vans operated by senior club volunteers in the communities of Atascadero, Los Osos, Cayucos, Morro Bay, Nipomo, Oceano, Paso Robles and the South County. Greyhound offered fourteen north-bound and 12 south-bound runs. Schools had a combined bus fleet of 118 buses and were able to provide for the transportation needs of their students. Four taxi cabs provided service to about 300 riders a day, and several other company or non-profit organization owned vehicles provided miscellaneous service to residents or clients. 10 000161 Figure f Historical and Existing Fixed Route Transit Service Ridership • in the San Luis Obispo Region -By System soo.00 800,000 700,000 <. 600,000 CL r f z 500,000- :2 00,000 400,000 300,000 - s 200,000 100,000 SLO Transit COAT SCATGo 1:0 Year rn Transit services continued to expand with SCAT service initiated in June, 1978.

Runabout service began in February 1983. Each of these services was initiated to identified unmet transit needs that were determined to be reasonable to meet. 0 By May,1977, Morro Bay had established a Dial a Ride service and Paso Robles had initiated a Subsidized Taxi Program. The Senior Van Program had grown to 13, with the addition of Cambria, SLO City (Grass Roots I1), San Miguel, Grover City and Pismo Beach senior clubs, and carried about 26,500 passengers a year. By 1988 a south county connection (SLOSCAT) had been added and merged into the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority along with SLOCAT fixed routes to Baywood/Los Osos, the North Coast Transit Authority and the Runabout system. Regional transit was borne. A Dial a Ride service organized in the Baywood/Los Osos area became South Coast DAR, and Paso Robles began first DAR service in 1991, followed by a fixed route (PRCATS) in 1995. Transit services in San Luis Obispo have expanded dramatically over the past twenty years. In 1975 the only transit services available were fixed route services in the City of San Luis Obispo and two senior vans.

There are currently three multi-modal facilities in the planning/construction is phase in San Luis Obispo County, dozens of park &_ride lots, and miles of bikeways. The intermodal link is vital to the concept of a "seamless" transportation system. A seamless systems incorporates all of the above elements to allow users to safely and conveniently transfer between modes. In a well planned intermodal,system, a commuter could ride a bicycle on a bikeway from his or her home to a nearby park and ride facility. Once at that facility, the commuter could place the bicycle in a locker and meet other commuters to carpool to his or her destination. Another option, once at the park and ride lot, would be to take the short walkway to the freeway bus stop shelter and ride the express bus to his or her destination. SLOCOG is initiating a Freeway Express Stop Study. This study will analyze the Highway 101 corridor to determine if express bus stop service is feasible within the region and if so, evaluate existing and future interchange configurations to incorporate express bus stops. This study will also consider the inclusion of other modes into the express bus stop service. As indicated in the scenario above, successful express stop service will include surrounding bikeways, adjacent park and ride spaces, secure bicycle parking, and pull-outs for local bus feeders and vehicle pick up/drop-offs. Figure Tbelow illustrates the intermodal connections in San Luis Obispo County. Most arterial and major routes accommodate Class II and Class III bicycle facilities, providing the necessary intermodal connections to park and ride lots and multimodal centers. 16 00016'7 Figure? - Existing Park SL Ride Lots, Multimodal Facilities and Bike Routes PARK & RIDE and MULTIMODAL FACILITIES 'San Miguel .HefltageR�nchF San'Simeon'.,' 7�i , Sttaniun i ... . . . . . .

Perhaps even more significant than the number of people projected to be living in the County in 2015 is the distribution of those people. In the next twenty years new large population centers are projected for areas outside of the City of San Luis Obispo. According to the County population projections, the highest level of growth will occur in Paso Robles and Nipomo. Factors that influence these projections include total build- out capacity, availability of water, sewer system capabilities, and local development policies.

It is expected that the areas with the greatest population growth and concentrations will require new or additional transit services. The greatest population growth is projected for the areas of North County and South County. These areas are expected to accommodate 40% and 34% of the growth for the County, respectively. A new concentration point will exist at the new Cuesta College facility, East of Paso Robles, and will require new transit link as well. The following map illustrates the projected transit services for San Luis Obispo County. A comparison between the Present and Future maps illustrate the need for increased services throughout the County. Existing local Fixed routes in San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, and Paso Robles are expected to grow to accommodate the increasing population. In addition, 2015 will bring local fixed routes to the communities of Atascadero, Nipomo, Baywood Park/Los Osos, and possibly to Cambria. The Regional Route Transit system will increase to serve the growing commuter populations along existing routes and may expand to new corridors. Price Canyon Road, Highway 46, and Highway 41 are potential routes that may serve the growing transit needs of the County. A Commuter Railroad is indicated on the Future map to potentially serve the South County to the City of San Luis Obispo should adequate funding sources and demand warrant the need for service. 19 0001'70 r+Com _ 7 .

Such "transit dependant" groups include: elderly persons; persons with disabilites; persons with low income; and students. ELDERLY- For the purpose of this plan, elderly persons are defined as those persons over 64 years old. SLOCOG prepared projections based on the number of persons over 64 years old, by community in 1980 and 1990 (according to Census data). The percent change during that period was applied to population projections for the the periods from 1990 to 2000, from 2000 to 2010, and from 2010 to 2020. SLOCOG projections indicate that by the year 2015, six communities out of the eleven calculated will have populations with over 25% elderly. This is significant because a greater concentration of elderly people will generate a greater need for door-to-door services such as Dial-a-Ride, senior vans, flexible fixed route, or subsidized taxis. It is important to note that other factors such as economic opportunities and cost of living were not considered when estimating the future "graying of the population" and these factors which may in the future reverse past trends. PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES -The number of persons with disabilities that affect their ability to drive is expected to increase significantly over the next 20 years, largely mirroring the projected changes in the overall population. As with the elderly population, persons with disabilities that affect their ability to drive need accessible transit services, Y freq uentl door-to-door - if their disability affects the ability to "navigate the fixed route system", or to get to and from bus stops. However, the transit needs of the non-elderly disabled are somewhat different from those of the elderly in that they have a greater need for transportation to school and employment destinations in the morning and evening commute periods whereas the elderly are more likely to travel during the mid-day period. Low INCOME - According to population figures cited in the 1990 Census, the highest percentage of low income persons per capita was 13% in the community of Cayucos, next were San Miguel and Santa Margarita with 11% each, and Oceano with 10%. Low income is considered per-capita income.at or below 200% of the poverty level. STUDENTS - The student population includes at least two distinctive sub-groups,namely K through 12 and college. Both groups have traditionally made heavy use of certain local transit services. The K through 12 student population is expected to increase by X percent over the next 20 years, while the number of college students will... The demand patterns by both groups may change based on changing enrollments as well as by potential decentralization of the two major college campuses, Cal Poly and Cuesta College. 22 000173 URBANIZED AREAs Urbanized areas as defined and designated by the U.S. Census Bureau are eligible to receive allocations of Federal Transit Administration Section 9 transit funding - . approximately $400 $500,000 annually. Currently the only urbanized area in the county is the City of San Luis Obispo. The Census Bureau defines urbanized as: "...An Urbanized Area comprises one or more places ("central place") and the adjacent densely settled surrounding territory ("urban fringe") that together have a minimum of 50,000 persons. The urban fringe generally consists of contiguous territory having a density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile. The urban fringe also includes outlying territory of such density if it was connected to the core of the contiguous area by road and is within 1 1/2 road miles of the core, or within 5 road miles of the core but separated by water or other undevelopable territory. Other territory with a population density of fewer than 1,000 people per square mile may be included in the urban fringe if it eliminates an enclave or closes an indentation in the boundary of the urbanized area. The population density is determined by (1) outside of a place, one or more contiguos cnesus blocks with a popualtion density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile or (2) inclusion of a place containing census blocks that have at least 50 percent of the population of the place and a density of a least 1,000 persons per square mile..." One of the two fastest growing regions in the county, South County, will likely meet the definition of urbanized area by the next census. The area comprising/surrounding the South County communities of, Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano, and Pismo Beach had a population of approximatly 44,300 in the block groups within one mile of the communities' boundaries. Although the area did not meet the population requirements, the communities in the South County are densely populated, and based on population projections made by the County Planning Department, the area may meet the 50,000 person threshold by the year 1998. If population growth continues as predicted, a special Census may be warranted at that time. Alternately, the 2000 census will automatically determine if the south county five cities meet the urbanized area classification. The fastest growing region in the county will likely not meet the urbanized area definition within the next twenty years.. The area comprising/surrounding the North County communities of Paso Robles, Atascadero, and Templeton had a population of 54,176 in the census blocks within 1 mile-of the communities' boundaries according to the 1990 Census. However it did not meet the urbanized area requirement of having densly populated area (at least 1,000 persons per square mile). Much of the area between the cities has a density of between 0 and 500 persons per square mile. Planning goals for these communities reflect distinct urban boundaries, buffered by open space and agricultural lands, maintaining strong community identities. It is not expected that these communities will have contiguous boundaries and desities that support the urbanized area classification by the either the 2000, 2010, or 2020 census unless substantially changes are made in the planning goals for north county communities. 73 0001'74 PROTECTED TRANSIT SERVICES For the purposes of this long-range transit plan, fixed route services are projected in terms of route frequency - that is, the number of times a route stops per day at the same pick up point. Future route frequency has been calculated based on projected density per square acre. Frequency is categorized and rated according to the following minimum service standards - developed from a study completed by Boris Pushkarev and Jeffrey Zupan called "Where Transit Works: Urban Densities for Public Transportation" - published in "Urban Transportation and Prospects, 1982. This study has been used as the source of developing service standards in other parts of the State. All fixed-route transit services fall into one of five categories - local demand-responsive service in areas having a population density of between 3.5 to 5.0 persons per acre; fixed route service operating every 60 minutes in areas having a density of 6.0 to 10.0 persons per acre; fixed route service every 30 minutes where the population density is between 11.0 and 15.0 persons per acre; fixed route service every 15 minutes in which the density is 15.0 to 20.0 persons per acre; and express service every 30 minutes in an area having a population density of 15.0 persons per acre over a two square mile area.

The different level thresholds are listed from A to F, A being the highest level, excellent; and F being the lowest level, unacceptable.

This is because people generally use regional transit services less frequently than local transit services, i.e.; regional trips cover a greater distance, take longer, and the rider usually spends more time at their destination before riding back. Local trips generally cover a shorter distance, take less time, and riders can take more frequent trips in the same amount of time. This methodology applied in the Congestion Management Plan for purposes of establishing the frequency of service and routing of public transit and for coordination of transit service provided by separate operators. Table 5 below describes current route frequency, and the frequency necessary to provide the minimum level of service as described in Table 3 and Table 4 by the year 2015 in each of the existing regional transit corridors and for local services. 25 O0U-1'76 Table 5.

One way is to look at the historical rate of change of ridership over time and apply the same "straight line" rate to the future. Another is to identify the number of trips per capita in a given community and apply this number per person to future population. This methodology will reflect 26 0001'7'7 increases and decreases in ridership according to increases and decreases in population, but will not reflect attitudinal changes which can be affected by the price of gasoline, fare level and other factors. The latter was the methodology selected to calculate . ridership as described in the table below. Table 6. Existing and Projected Fixed-Route Ridership 1995 1`:995:" 1995 2005 2015.

TRANSIT SERVICE FUNDING Transit funding has remained relatively stable over the past decade, both on the federal . level and state level. The outlook, however, is not overly optimistic. On the federal level 27 0001,78 transit will do well to maintain current funding levels over the next ten and twenty year time frames, as transit is the only mode of transportation that has no trust fund protection. As budgets get balanced, cuts will come, and it is much easier to cut transit that it is to pierce the trust funded modes of transportation. It is difficult to predict whether congestion, parking problems and environmental concerns will be will be more important or less in the longer time frame, and this can be a key to future priority for transit funding. The best estimate that can be made today, however, is to not plan for any increase of basic federal funds for transit. One bright spot does exist . The South County area is likely to become eligible for urbanized area transit funding, within the time framework of this plan. This would flow in an additional $300,000 to $500,000 a year of operating and capital funding for transit in that area. If the North County area is found to also meet Census criteria as an urbanized area, the subregional connections and "reverse commutes" within the North County area can be funded by this extra federal funding. While this is less likely than the South County designation, the impact of such action could be substantial, with as much as $5 million of extra transit money each decade for these subregions.

The previous chart entitled•Total TDA Funds by Fiscal Year shows the variability and slow growth of the major State funding resource, the Transportation Development Act. It is important to realize the source of this mone—sales tax—as transit funding is directly linked to the economic health of the community. Note that the funding is just recovering from the recession, and only in 1994/95 regained the level reached in 1990/91. As the economy thrives or dives, so will transit funding. For many years, planning has been based on an average increase in TDA of 5% a year; with these figures a 3.5% increase is more realistic for future resource prediction. The implications of these trends are several. In general, transit providers should be focusing on improving efficiencies in existing services prior to any expansions, as transit funding increases are nominal. Two sub regional corridors may be provided new funding and an ability to substantially increase the levels of service within their areas. The corridor between Atascadero and Paso Robles is the most likely to have a growing transit market, but least likely to attain urbanized area status soon. The South County service area (Pismo Beach, Grover Beach Oceano, Arroyo Grande and portions of the Nipomo Mesa) will likely have sufficient resources to double the current level of service within the planning time framework. 29 00018-0 XISTING MARKET Rider surveys have been completed for each transit provider as a part of their Five Year Transit Plans. Several general findings can be made from examining the ridership responses in the context of defining markets. Other studies have also shed light on current marketing issues, and are included below as findings. A. Transit dependent (car-free) riders predominate. Students under sixteen or developmentally disabled typically make up half or more of the Dial a Ride market, with a third typically categorizing themselves as disabled. Nine out of ten have incomes less than $20,000, limiting access to reliable automobiles. Fixed route users also have a high percentage of student ridership, college being the destination for most, with high school ridership in South and North County also a strong draw. The elderly population are well represented in Dial a Ride (15- 25%) and this market is expected to increase with baby-boomers reaching 65 in the planning horizon. Riders who cannot use fixed route service because of infirmity or disability comprise nearly a third of the ridership of Dial a Ride systems. B. Economics plays a part in ridership mode choice. In the city of San Luis Obispo, CalPoly staff, faculty and students ride at no cost, and the ridership is nearly double the level of similar cities without this incentive. Seniors ride the systems where there is a senior discount but do not in areas such as the South County, where no discount for seniors exists. On a macroeconomic level, the price of gasoline affects transit usage more than advertising. It took about twelve years for transit usage to rise steadily to reattain the level reached during the gas shortage in the late 70's. Recent gas increases were seen as a marketing opportunity by one transit provider, with ridership now being monitored to determine the exact extent of impact. Interestingly, people tend not to consider other costs associated with private transportation including the purchase of an automobile, insurance and maintenance costs when selecting a mode of transportation. More may be done with marketing systems based on cost. C. Convenience makes or breaks the market penetration. There is a single factor that emerges consistently in surveys as the reason people do not ride the bus: convenience. The time spent on the bus is perceived by the general public as 30 000181 wasted time. Interestingly, bus riders feel differently about time in transit, as it is seen as useful study/read/socialize time. This may present a marketing opportunity for long range community perception of the value.of.transit riding. The "cost" in travel time is highest in regional travel with a need to transfer. For many destinations the time can two to three times longer than it would be if driven. Such a disparity in travel time is a strong deterrent to transit usage, particularly on the part of discretionary riders. Few "choice" riders (those who have access to transit alternative but use the bus) will become riders on such routes. Unfortunately, increased convenience is costly; added bus service makes the efficiency of each run typically decrease. Freeway bus stops, perhaps coupled with some park-and-ride capacity, could alleviate some of this, as the shortened on-bus time would attract new riders. D. Commuters are the core of the transit market. Regular travel to work or school is the most predominant feature of transit use in the San Luis Obispo region. This can provide for targeted marketing and service orientation that can benefit ridership. Any new service should be considering this in early planning stages. This trend does not conflict with the finding that transit dependent riders predominate school age children and "both" commuters and transit dependent. A surprising number of working commuters do not drive or have no access to reliable transporation. E. Tourist usage has been nearly nonexistent. The only exception to this finding has been trolley trips provided in San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. These services are frequent, with short trips prevailing, and are perceived as an enjoyable experience by local users and tourists. The exception to this finding is in trolley service. San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay have well used trolley services and the tourist population finds this level of transit service to be acceptable. A useful market study of tourists and transit need was conducted in 1991, revealing some of the reason for little transit usage. Nine out of ten visitors arrived in private automobile, with another 3% using rental cars. Most are not treating San Luis Obispo county as an end destination, but are using their cars for beach and sightseeing before traveling on. Eleven percent of respondents cited winery visits as one of their activities, with some marketing potential for safe transportation existing. Campground service, Hearst Castle service and airport service currently do not exist but may be other tourist market niches for the future. Again, frequency of service and convenience were seen as most important for any service, with traffic/parking benefits not important. More than half of the respondents in personal interviews said they would consider transit if it was a visitor oriented shuttle bus between attractions in the region. F. Marketing of most systems could be improved. Many consultant studies and community input have noted that basic transit information systems are not always 31 000182 user friendly. Signage does not always match the route stops listed on the schedules, there are seven bus color schemes to match the seven systems with seven telephone numbers to remember, the phone book listings are not uniform and generally require remembering the seven system names, and there are variations between systems in fares, free rider requirements and discounts. The Regional Rideshare Program has assisted in establishing a single information phone number, 541-CARS, but four of the systems require dispatch capabilities for demand responsive service, which cannot be provided currently from that number. A single regional transit map exists, compiled by the regional transit system; experienced riders use it as a general guide, however, and also carry the timed schedules necessary for trip planning. A long-term strategy for marketing must include attention to the user friendliness of the system as conveyed by the primary marketing tools available to transit--the bus image, information kiosks, stops, schedules and telephone listings. Transit systems are inherently hampered in their ability to strongly market their systems. When budget cuts are needed, elected officials will understandably target promotional campaigns rather than reducing existing service. Over years of lean budgeting, rarely do the system have marketing budgets close to private sector standards, which range around 3-5% of the total budget. A more coordinated approach to marketing would also help ease a built-in inefficiency: it is much more difficult to market seven systems than one. These findings will be useful in determining the framework for marketing improvement strategies. g provement PROJECTED MARKET Demographic projections, as previously shown in Tables xx through xx, lead to some general trends that will assist predicting the future market. This information has been combined with jobs/housing information and economic predictions to provide the best estimate of the transit market, which will then guide the transit development framework. The key findings are listed below. A. Commuters will continue to be the core market. The most frequently requested need for transit cited at unmet transit needs hearings is the need to get to and From work. The heaviest used runs on transit fixed route have been, and are expected to continue to be, to and from work and school. College ridership is expected to continue, but the destinations may be more varied, as a North County campus is envisioned for Cuesta College. CalPoly may also have decentralized facilities within the 20 year planning framework. This might result in some reduction in transit usage, but more likely the trips will simply be shorter, as North County students still will commute to North County campuses. 32 000183 Commuters make a specific target group for marketing, and strategies for the future should consider ways to promote transit to this group. More than any other segment, their needs are steady and predictable. Tourism may be a viable market if the multi-modal centers become major draws for rail passengers. Transit must continue to plan to serve each of these centers, and trolley service might tap the market well. B. There will be a significant increase in the senior transit market. Table xx shows straight-line projections for seniors, but a nationwide trend exists for the "aging of America". This could raise the percentage of seniors in some communities by as much as one third as babyboomers reach retirement age, peaking somewhere near 2010. This will be combined with the fact that . Americans are living longer than their parents, and transit should be prepared to market services that meet senior needs. Note should be made that senior trips are typically not following commute patterns, and can be a definite advantage to transit operators, especially with fixed route systems. For example, midday ridership promotions can result in fuller buses, and more farebox revenues, when the market is expanding. Migration of seniors into the area is not expected to be as significant in the future as it has been in the past, due to the escalation of real estate prices. Recent years' data on seniors moving into the area yield the conclusion that the San Luis Obispo region is no longer attracting a disproportionate percentage of retiring seniors. This trend is expected to remain steady as long as the prices of houses stay high compared to the rest of the country. A growing senior population will affect other aspects of transit besides marketing. There will be some increase in the need for demand responsive systems. The coastal cities, already high in senior population, will be needing more service and a new travel pattern from the North Coast to Twin Cities Hospital may become productive for transit; certainly many of the intercity senior transit usage will be to service and medical areas. Market strategies need to be prepared that maximize efficient penetration of this growing segment of the market. C. Available funding is limited. During the past several years, federal, state, and regional policies have encouraged a modal shift from automobiles to alternative modes of transportation. Improved public transportation has been seen as a major component of the shift. The 101 Major Investment Study, focusing on travel between Arroyo Grande and San Luis Obispo, identifies the need for extensive improvements in transit services 0001811 to alleviate congestion on the 101 corridor. In addition, the transit service to the north county that will be implemented in conjunction with the upcoming Cuesta Grade construction are anticipated to result in increased demand for on going transit services. The major impediment to these service improvements is the ability to generate adequate operating funds. Current funding sources are either largely allocated with minimal growth available or constitutionally prohibited for transit "operating" usage. Without supplemental funding, such a mode shift will occur only incrementally and be constrained by funding and ridership demand. D. New service areas mean new target market opportunities. Fast growing areas of the county have been identified as Nipomo, Paso Robles and pockets in smaller unincorporated communities such as Santa Margarita, Heritage Ranch and the area south of the City of San Luis Obispo. The major mobility corridors will probably remain fixed (Highway 101 and 1) between communities, but minor branches may need to be added. Corridor marketing has been shown to be effective in studies in Northern California. Within communities, market growth areas are predicted for SLO City transit provision(south to the Airport and Country Club area), for South County transit (connections to Amtrak and Nipomo), for Paso Robles/Atascadero transit (east along Highway 46, subregional routes within North County). Fortunately, new transit resources will be available in North and South County as each area matures into Urbanized Areas of over 50,000 population, and eligible for direct grants from federal sources. An opportunity definitely exists for capturing future tourist who arrive on the train. There are development plans for Grover Beach, San Luis Obsipo, and Paso Robles mutlimodal centers that will maximize the potential of transit usage for arriving and departing train riders. The market trends need to be carefully considered as transit providers prepare annual budgets and short range plans. By recognizing and using the identified trends, transit can become better positioned to be a viable mobility choice in the future. ;4 000185 (6). Systern 1[improveinneinut Sitinatite tues SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES Based on the population and growth trends discussed earlier, together with the goals previously adopted by SLOCOG, a number of strategies have been developed. The strategies are designed to assist decision-makers in ensuring that public transit services throughout the County adequately meet the needs of residents over the next 20 years. The goals set the tone by establishing the overall policy direction and service philosophy. The objectives relate to the goal - they are specific and attainable. The strategies provide mechanisms that if implemented, can help to achieve the objectives. There are two overall goals identified in this plan. One is related directly to the transit system, and the other is related to the land development. Long Range Transit System Goal "To provide reasonable and accessible region-wide public transit services to meet the mobility needs of all residents for access to essential services including educational, recreational, and employment opportunities, and as a means to reduce air pollution, traffic congestion, parking problems, and foreign oil imports and domestic oil extraction". ------------ 1 Land Development Goal - "Establish a transit framework to promote the enhancement of regional and community livability, through the integration of mobility, land use, and design strategies enhancing the economic vitality, environmental sustainability, ones sense of community, and accessibility to basic human services within and between communities in the region." The objectives listed in the tables on the following pages were taken from adopted plans, including the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments Regional Transportation Plan (December `94), the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority Long Range Transit Plan (August `95), local transit system short range transit plans and performance audits, and the transit oriented land development guide "Creating Transportation Choices Through Development Design Sz Zoning" adopted by the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments in July, 1995. The strategies were developed in consultation with transit managers, transportation consultants, and adapted from these and other planning documents. 35 000186 PLANNING GOALS, OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, AND IMPLEMENTATION AGENCIES Long lunge Transit System Goal - "To provide reasonable and accessible region-wide public transit services to meet the mobility needs of all residents for access to essential services including educational, recreational, and employment opportunities, and as a means to reduce air pollution, traffic congestion, parking problems, and foreign oil imports and domestic oil extraction". 1.Within the 20 year If local communities Plan for increased route frequency- up to Transit planning horizon of the within the County seven or more round trips per day for Agencies Long Range Transit reach population regional services, and up to twenty-six Plan provide thresholds that per day for local-non urbanized,forty- appropriate mode of warrant more eight for dotal-urbanized. transit and minimum services. standard of service level Justify increases with ridership for fixed route transit !f load factor as projections that will support a desired services throughout the measured in %of firebox-2S%for regional, and 30%for County. seats filled local urbanized areas, and 10%for local consistently exceeds non-urbanized.s 80 %. 2.
