Placement: Management
Report
TO: PHIL DUNSMORE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
FROM: KELLY GLEASON, PLANNING MANAGER
PREPARED BY: SAM MOUNTAIN, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: 2025 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Commission review the Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report for
2025.
DISCUSSION:
The State of California requires ci es to file an annual General Plan Progress Report to the Office
of Land Use and Climate Innova on (LCI, formerly the Office of Planning and Research) and a
Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) to the Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). The purpose of these reports is to monitor the City’s implementa on of its
General Plan policies. A copy of the Housing Element Progress spreadsheet is a ached for
reference. Informa on from this report will be included in the General Plan Annual report
submi ed to LCI.
ANALYSIS:
The purpose of the reports is to monitor the implementa on of the City’s General Plan, with
specific a en on on Housing Element progress toward mee ng the City’s Regional Housing
Needs Alloca on (RHNA). As the city is currently in the process of a comprehensive General Plan
update, repor ng related to General Plan policy implementa on will focus on these efforts.
GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS
The City began the General Plan Update process in December 2021. The 2045 General Plan will
reflect the community vision and values and forecast growth and policy objec ves through 2045.
The process provided an opportunity to evaluate long-term growth and resources, community
health and safety and a host of other topics essen al to quality of life. The process included an
evalua on of policies and programs included in the 2002 General Plan, with those ongoing
policies that align with the updated community vision carrying forward, and completed programs
eliminated to make way for future growth and community needs.
Page 7 of 30
3/17/26 | Item F1 | Staff Report
A key focus of the General Plan update is economic development. Commercial growth remains a
key aspect to the fiscal and social health of Atascadero. While fewer construc on permit
applica ons were processed in 2025 compared to previous years due to high interest rates, labor
shortages, and high cost of materials, the Central Coast and Atascadero remain a focus for
investment.
The City reviewed 63 construc on permits for various commercial and mixed-use projects. 59 of
those 63 permits were issued and construc on is in progress. Those numbers include both tenant
improvements, and new buildings. On the residen al side, the City received 551 permit
applica ons. Those permits ranged from addi ons and remodels to new construc on. While this
represents a moderate decline in both categories a er years of steady growth in the number of
permits processed, several large projects in the en tlement process or currently under
construc on demonstrate that the City is on track to maintain a steady pipeline of development
ac vity in the coming years.
Notable Commercial Projects in 2025
In 2025, several commercial development projects reached key project benchmarks. The
following include notable milestones in project approvals, construc on, and openings over the
past year:
Dove Creek commercial shell permits approved and ready to issue
Valley Fresh open for business, adjacent commercial shell building finaled
Beachin’ Biscuits permits issued
Chick-fil-A applica on processed
Del Rio Ranch master plan approved
HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRESS
The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) provides each City in our County with a
specific alloca on of housing units that must be accommodated in each jurisdic on’s land use
plan. These regional housing alloca ons are required to be used by the City when upda ng the
Housing Element. They are the basis for assuring that adequate sites are zoned and available to
accommodate the minimum number of units allocated to our City. These housing alloca on
numbers are not housing unit quotas that the City must achieve, but instead are housing targets
that the City must plan for through targeted zoning, site iden fica on, and reduc on of obstacles
to development. State Housing Element law requires that each City and County iden fy and
analyze exis ng and projected housing needs within their jurisdic ons and prepare goals, policies,
programs and quan fied objec ves to further the development, improvement, and preserva on
of housing.
The RHNA for the eight-year period ending in 2028 allocates 843 housing units of various
affordability levels for Atascadero. A achment 1 includes the relevant tables and data the City
will be submi ng to HCD. Note that the APR report format is catered to larger jurisdic ons and
Atascadero does not have relevant data, such as housing element rezonings or commercial
density bonus implementa on, to fill out all the tables in the report. As a result, only relevant
tabs are included in the a achment. The full submi al is available for review by contac ng the
Community Development Department.
Page 8 of 30
3/17/26 | Item F1 | Staff Report
One substan al component for this RHNA cycle is that the City can include Accessory Dwelling
Units (ADUs) toward our low- and moderate-income RHNA alloca on based on a regional rent
study commissioned by San Luis Obispo County. The study allows local jurisdic ons to count 50%
of ADUs as low-income units and the other 50% as moderate-income units. In this year’s totals,
ADUs account for 14 of the iden fied affordable units. Mul family and mixed-use units in dense,
5+ unit mul plex projects are considered affordable at moderate incomes based on SLOCOG’s
Countywide Affordable by Design Study, and detached units in small-lot subdivisions are
considered affordable at moderate income levels based on documented sale/rent prices in the
area.
As of 2025, 70% of the way through the planning period, the City has exceeded its RHNA goals for
low- and moderate-income units and has permi ed 74% of its total allocated units under RHNA.
This data is shown in greater detail in the table and graphic below.

Residen al Construc on Permits Issued
In 2025, the City issued permits to construct 88 new residen al units. These included:
2 deed-restricted low-income units (both for the La Moda mixed-use project).
14 new ADUs (7 qualifying as low-income units and 7 qualifying as moderate-income
units).
56 units that qualify as “affordable by design” to moderate-income households based on
affordable-by-design parameters iden fied in the SLOCOG study.
Housing Policy Highlights of 2025
Since Housing Element Adop on, the City has completed a number of programs to meet
iden fied goals and policies. In 2025, the City completed the following:
Dra 2045 General Plan published for public review
Updated ADU ordinance for consistency with State streamlining efforts
Adopted new fire hazard maps
Established more flexible hotel standards to bolster the regional lodging industry
ECHO amendments for family wing and expanded meal program
Exceeded RHNA goals for low- and moderate-rate units
Housing En tlements and Streamlining
En tlements include discre onary processes such as a Condi onal Use Permit or Precise Plan that
grant approval to move forward with a project but do not allow immediate construc on un l a
building or grading permit is issued.
The City has streamlined its review process for housing projects, allowing more applica ons to be
approved at the staff level (ministerial) rather than through a discre onary en tlement process.
This was achieved through the adop on of Objec ve Design Standards for mul -family and
mixed-use developments in 2024. These objec ve standards provide design certainty and remove
the need for discre onary review if followed. As a result, the number of housing en tlement
applica ons has declined over me. Only one discre onary housing en tlement, for a 16-unit
project at 4615 El Camino Real, was approved in 2025. This was a mixed-use project outside of
downtown, which requires a Condi onal Use Permit based on the mixed-use component.
Notable Residen al and Mixed-Use Projects in 2025
Several housing projects reached important phases in 2025, marking con nued progress in
residen al development throughout the City:
Emerald Ridge – 72 units under construc on
Emerald Court – 10 units finaled
En tlement approval for 16 units in 4615 El Camino Real mixed-use
Permits issued for La Moda mixed-use
Marketplace mixed-use buildings under construc on
Dove Creek Residen al ready to issue
ECHO expansion for 30 addi onal beds issued
Page 10 of 30
3/17/26 | Item F1 | Staff Report
WHAT’S TO COME FOR 2026
New 2045 General Plan policies should open the door for con nued growth. The new
Innova on/Flex placetype is aimed at crea ng jobs centers, accommoda ng research and
manufacturing businesses and incubator spaces, and catering to head of household job crea on.
The plan also refines mixed-use zoning and expands mul -family and missing middle housing
placetypes to accommodate the next RHNA cycle that starts in 2028 and future housing needs
projected through 2045.
CONCLUSION
The City’s 2045 General Plan will be adopted in the summer of 2026 and will provide an updated
framework for the community vision for the next 20 years. The City con nues to make progress
toward mee ng iden fied 2020-2028 RHNA goals and strives to implement policies to streamline
the en tlement and permit process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

Program 1.A: Adequate
Sites
The City can adequately accommodate the
City’s current RHNA under existing General
Plan and Zoning Regulations standards
(266 units remaining after credits for
approved projects). The residential sites
inventory to address the current RHNA
consists of 11 mostly vacant sites with
capacity to yield 497 new units. The City will
maintain an inventory of available sites for
residential development and provide it to
prospective residential developers upon
request, and the City will continue to track
the affordability of new housing projects and
progress toward meeting the City’s RHNA.
The City will also continue allowing housing
development on RMF-24 properties
identified in the Housing Element Sites
Inventory as a by-right use, not subject to a
conditional use permit, specific plan, or
discretionary action. By right includes but is
not limited to housing developments in
which at least 20 percent of the units are
affordable to lower income households.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Continuous
(266 units). Sites analyzed with building permit
submittals. Adequate sites remain. Ongoing
analysis.

Program 1.C: Mixed-Use
Development
Continue to allow mixed residential and
commercial development and promote
second- and third-story residential
development in the Downtown zoning
districts. To increase project certainty and
streamline development, the City will
consider identifying appropriate, mid-block
locations, outside of downtown, for future
mixed-use/residential development (in
commercial zoning districts) while
considering appropriate jobs/housing
balance and fiscal impacts. Considering
market conditions and development costs,
the City will provide, when possible,
developer incentives such as expedited
permit processing and flexible development
standards for units that are affordable to
lower-income households. The City will
publicize these incentives on the City’s
website (www.atascadero.org) to make
them available in a timely fashion.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Completed
(5 mixed-use projects) The City continues to allow
and support mixed-use development within the
Commercial Retail, Commercial Professional,
Commercial Neighborhood, Downtown Commercial,
and Downtown Office zoning districts. The upcoming
Atascadero 2045 General Plan is slated to increase
mixed-use opportunities even further.
In 2025, construction permits were issued for mixed-
use construction within the Del Rio Marketplace
project (42 units), the Grand Oaks microhome
development (2 units) and La Moda mixed-use
project (9 units). Permits are ready to issue for 20
units in the Dove Creek mixed-use project. A total of
5 mixed-use developments have been granted
certificates of occupancy in this cycle, and several
more are currently under construction.

Program 1.D: Accessory
Dwelling Units
Promote the development of accessory
dwelling units (ADUs) by adopting an ADU
ordinance addressing the latest provisions
in State law, including permit streamlining
processes. Provide pre-approved ADU
plans as a tool for encouraging
development of ADUs and lowering plan
review costs for applicants and the City.
Promote development of ADUs by
providing written information at the City’s
planning counter and on the City’s website.
11/10/2022 6th Cycle Completed
(Compliant ADU ordinance within 2 years of Houisng
Element adoption). The City has adopted it's ADU
ordinance and maintains updates per State law
changes. The most recent update was completed in
early 2026. The City maintains 6 pre-approved ADU
stock plans originally funded under the REAP
program; plans range in size from 320 sf to 1,000 sf.
The ADU stock plan program streamlines the review
process and provides design cost savings to
homeowners, However, additional funding will be
required to update the plans with the new building
code cycle. The City has permited the following
number of ADUs by year:
2021: 15

§ Assist developers who seek state and
federal monies in support of housing
construction and rehabilitation targeted for
persons with disabilities, including persons
with developmental disabilities.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Completed
(One grant application supported during the planning
period). The City approved an expansion to the

Program 2.A: Density
Bonus
Maintain an affordable housing density
bonus ordinance that establishes
procedures for obtaining and monitoring
density bonuses in compliance with state
law. Update the City’s density bonus
ordinance to remain in compliance with
Government Code §65915.
11/10/2022 6th Cycle Completed
(Adopt compliant Density Bonus ordinance within 2
years of Housing Element adoption). The City
currently implements State law for all projects
requesting use of the State Density Bonus program.
Because State law allows for only moderate income
restrictions on for sale products, the City has not
historically seen implementation of the density bonus
program result in lower income units. However,
some more recent mixed-use developments and
higher density rental residential formats have
resulted in housing units for low- and very-low-
income households. In addition, the City has
approved 4 non-profit projects that would add 76 low
income units to the City's housing stock if funding
can be obtained. These projects (Empire, Macadero,
and Del Rio Ridge) utilized the State Density Bonus
for development incentives as well as some bonus
units. The City has also updated our Municipal Code
for consistency with new State Density Bonus Law in
conjunction with the adoption of Objective Design
Standards for mixed-use and multifamily
development.

Program 2.B: Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance
Evaluate the City’s inclusionary housing
policy and consider replacing the current
inclusionary policy with an inclusionary
housing ordinance. An inclusionary
ordinance must be consistent with state
density bonus regulations and address
changing economic and regulatory
considerations. The City will continue to
monitor the impact of its inclusionary
housing policy/ordinance on production of
market rate housing in response to market
conditions. If the City’s inclusionary
housing approach presents an obstacle to
the development of the City's fair share of
regional housing needs, the City will
consider revising the policy/ordinance
accordingly.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Completed
(50 units). The City has reviewed options for an
updated affordable housing strategy. As the State
limits discretionary reviews of housing projects and
cost of construction and adherence to State
regulatory requirements becomes a factor in project
feasibility, the City relies on the State density bonus
program to incorporate affordable units into market-
rate projects. The City reviewed this issue and
decided to encourage utilization of State Density
Bonus law rather than disincentivize housing or
create cost barriers to housing development with
additional requirements. The City's inclusionary
policy remains in effect for legislative actions. The
City approved the Barrel Creek project in 2023 which
included 9 affordable units under the City's
inclusionary housing policy.

Evaluate the adoption of a policy to
determine the best use of City Affordable
Housing In-Lieu funds to support the
creation of new affordable housing units in
Atascadero. Work with affordable housing
developers and identify funding to address
the housing needs of extremely low-income
households and totally and permanently
disabled persons.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Completed
(5 affordable units) The City has pledged .$400,000
of our curernt fund to Del Rio Ridge, a 42 unit non-
profit low income project awaiting full funding
opportunities. In 2023, the City adopted an impact
fee deferral program as a supplement to our
affordable housing in-lieu fees. As more projects
become ministerial under new State laws, the City's
ability to collect in-lieu fees outside of an impact fee
on all housing diminishes. Supplementing the in-luie
fund was the greatest way to support grant
applications and project financing into the future.

Program 2.D: Affordable
Housing Technical
Assistance
Provide pre-application technical
assistance to affordable housing providers
to determine project feasibility and address
zoning and code compliance issues in the
most cost-effective and expeditious manner
possible. If not already initiated via potential
projects, annually consult with local
affordable housing developers, including
offering letters of support for grant
applications, advising on local zoning and
code compliance, and facilitating
partnerships.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Completed
(5 letters of support). The City continues to provide
pre-application consultation for all projects to
determine feasibility with Planning, Building, and Fire
standards. Recently, the City has coordianted with
Del Rio Ridge, California Manor phase 2, the ECHO
homeless shelter expansion, Paseo Paloma (a State
surplus land act project), and expansion of a non-
profit transitional home for low income foster youth.

Program 2.F: Mixed-Use
Standards
Adopt mixed-use development standards
that facilitate high-quality development and
that strike a balance between the
community’s need for housing and the
City’s need to preserve viable commercial
land uses to help sustain the City’s ability to
provide essential services. During the
formulation of development standards, the
City will assess the potential for residential
density increases for mixed-use projects.
The City will pursue the drafting of new
mixed-use developments standards and
Objective Design Standards (Program 3.B)
to ensure that the City’s planning and
design goals for mixed-use projects and
multi-family housing are met.
11/10/2022 6th Cycle Completed
(Ordinance adopted). The City adopted an Objective
Design Standards ordinance applicable to mixed-use
and multifamily development on June 25, 2024.
These standards provide for 'fractional density'
wherein smaller units are counted only as fractions
of units vis-a-vis allowable density. This allows
developers to build more densely while encouraging
the development of units that are affordable by
design.

Program 3.B: Objective
Design Standards
In compliance with SB 330, adopt objective
design standards to ensure that the City
can provide local guidance on design and
clearly articulate objective design standards
for by-right projects as allowed by state law.
Adoption of objective design standards will
facilitate high-quality residential
development and compliance with state
objectives. The objective design standards
will ensure provision of adequate private
open space, parking, and architectural
features, consistent with state law. Part of
the objective design standards creation
process will include assessing how the
standards can be used to encourage a
variety of housing types and limit the size of
residential units on multi-family zoned
properties to encourage units that are
affordable by design.
11/10/2023 6th Cycle Completed
Complete - The City adopted an Objective Design
Standards ordinance applicable to mixed-use and
multifamily development on June 25, 2024. These
standards provide for 'fractional density' wherein

Program 3.C: Multi-Family
Housing Permitting
To reduce constraints to multi-family
housing production, the City will review and
revise the Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
requirements for multi-family housing in
conjunction with adoption of objective
design standards and to comply with the
Housing Accountability Act. The
Atascadero Zoning Regulations require a
CUP for residential projects in the RMF
zone over 11 units, excluding RMF-24
properties identified in the Housing Element
sites inventory, which are allowed by right.
Any revisions to Zoning Regulations will not
affect the by-right approval of multi-family
projects in the RMF-24 zone on Housing
Element sites, which are not subject to a
CUP or a Specific Plan. Revisions are
intended to facilitate the permitting process
for multi-family housing and will be
consistent with any by-right or streamlining
requirements identified in state law.
11/10/2023 6th Cycle Completed

Subdivisions
Consider adopting small lot subdivision
standards that incorporate specific site and
building development standards (such as
parking, height, yard space, architecture) in
exchange for flexible minimum lot sizes.
Consider allowing small lot subdivisions
without rezoning. Small lot subdivision
standards can eliminate the need for multi-
family planned developments that are
currently subject to a rezoning process.
Establishing a set of high-quality standards
for each small lot subdivision, instead of
minimum lot size, can save substantial staff
time and applicant costs and would allow
for increased creativity with site design
while increasing ownership opportunities for
all income segments of the community

requires supportive housing to be
considered a use by right in zones where
multi-family and mixed uses are permitted,
including nonresidential zones permitting
multi-family uses, if the proposed housing
development meets specified criteria. AB
101 requires that Low-Barrier Navigation
Centers (LBNC) be a by-right use in areas
zoned for mixed-use and nonresidential
zones permitting multi-family uses. LBNC
provide temporary room and board with
limited barriers to entry while case
managers work to connect homeless

Program 3.I: Housing
Financing Constraints
Continue to work with the development
community to identify and mitigate any
constraints on access to financing for multi-
family development. The City will conduct
regular stakeholder meetings with members
of the development community, including
representatives from local non-profit
housing organizations, developers, and real
estate brokers to solicit feedback. Continue
to facilitate understanding of the impacts of
economic issues, employment, and growth
on housing needs among financial, real
estate, and development professionals in
formalized settings, such as the Economic
Round Table.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Continuous
(No quantified objective). The City communicates
with non-profit organizations and housing developers
regulariily regarding funding challenges and grant
opportiunities. Unfortunately, most grant applications
are heavily weighted to communities with State
identified disadvantaged communities. Our local
SLOCOG has revised this analysis to include
additional factors that more accurately identify
known areas that shoud be considered
disadvantaged from a funding perspective however,
these regional definitions cannot be used in many
State level applications, creating additional fiunding
obstacles for lower income housing opportunities.
Further, the added costs from increased
requirements in the State building code updates and
infrastructure costs assocaited with development
within a semi-rural community, in addition to Water
Quality Control Board Requirements and increased
CEQA challenges from special interest groups make
financial feasibility difficult to attain without subsidy.

Program 3.J: Non-
Governmental Constraints
Continue to monitor and evaluate
development standards and advances in
housing construction methods. Although the
City has limited influence over non-

governmental constraints are identified, the
City will review, and if necessary, revise,
any development regulations or processes
that can potentially lessen those
constraints.
12/31/2028 6th Cycle Continuous
(No quantified objective). The City continues to
attend building industry seminars and is a lead
participant in local ICC chapter meetings. Current
identified constraints include solar requirements for
new residential projects which significantly drive up
costs, accessibility requirements that make projects
infeasible when dealing with a City with challenging
topography, State stormwater management
requirements which limit the developable area of a
site and therefore reduce density, limited funding for
streets, roads, and other City infrastructure that drive
up permit costs and fees, PG&E costs and
availability to support new construction, outdated
disadvantaged community mapping that limits
Atascadero's ability to be competitive in grant
funding opportunities for affordable housing,
infrastructure, services, the cost of construction
materials, and lending hesitency.
