WHEREAS, Atascadero was one of the first master planned communities in California
born out of the City Beautiful movement, with the Atascadero Colony subdivision recorded in

listed on the State and/or National Register of Historic Places, however, the City has no formally
adopted local list of historic resources; and
WHEREAS, the City must consider the environmental impact of projects on historic
resources as part of standard California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review; and
WHEREAS, the City, in concert with the Atascadero Historical Society, has identified

accurate information about the City’s historic resources; and
WHEREAS, the City’s proposed Historic Resources Ordinance (new AMC Sections 9-
4.163 through 9-4.169) addresses the modification of historic resources and provides information
needed to review projects effectively in relation to local standards, the Secretary of Interior’s
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, and the CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined that it is in the best interest of the
City to protect known historic resources as feasible under the provisions of the Historic Resources
Ordinance; and
