CITY OF ATASCADERO
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Item G1
TO: JAMES R. LEWIS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PHIL DUNSMORE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: KELLY GLEASON, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: Zoning Code Update – Commercial Zones and Uses
RECOMMENDATION:
Council provide direction to staff on specific land uses and development standards for
commercial zoning districts.
BACKGROUND:
The new General Plan includes five commercial placetypes (land use districts) which would be
implemented by multiple zoning districts. These include the following Placetypes: Mixed Use,
Downtown Mixed Use, Commercial, Industrial and Innovation Flex. The March 10 and March 24,
2026, discussions with the City Council focused on the two Mixed Use placetypes. This discussion
focuses on the remaining three commercial Placetypes, primarily focusing on what is allowed in
each district and suggested refinements to the land use definitions. This discussion will also cover
non-conforming land uses in the Downtown Commercial District, such as medical offices, ground
floor residential uses, fuel stations, and storage uses.
DISCUSSION:
In addition to the Mixed Use districts that will allow for a mix of residential and commercial, the
commercial placetypes in the new General Plan include Commercial, Innovation/Flex, and
Industrial. The placetypes were established to reimagine and support economic growth and
development into key areas with a focus on retail synergy, placemaking, and quality job growth.
Each placetype corresponds to zoning districts that allow for land uses to support and grow the
uses envisioned for each area.

Industrial: Industrial (I)
Each zone will accommodate a slightly different mix of uses informed by the General Plan
Placetypes. The land use definitions in the new Zoning Code respond to current trends and
nomenclature. Definitions are consolidated where there is overlap and dissected where size and
scale called for differentiation. A map of the commercial zoning districts is included as
Attachment 1.
LAND USE DEFINITIONS:
The land use definitions listed in the current Zoning Code have been updated periodically to
respond to State laws and emerging trends. However, the comprehensive Zoning Code Update
project aligns the definitions for the new General Plan Placetypes, aligning future land uses with
the vision for each zoning district while recognizing the pattern of existing land uses.
The main objectives of updates to this section are to:
Combine duplicative definitions
Modify definitions to respond to size, scale, or use
Add new definitions that match General Plan Placetypes
The draft land use definitions are shown in Attachment 2. Specific changes of note include:
Clearly defining agricultural uses including hobby or agricultural accessory uses in as
allowed in residential zones.
Separating Car Washes from Vehicle Repair and Services
Separating out Kennels, Veterinary Services, and Grooming with specific attention to on-
site overnight boarding and animal enclosures that are inside of a building or exterior
Adding a definition for a commercial or “Commissary” kitchen
Separation of Amusement Services which currently include yoga studios, bowling alleys,
and gyms.
Aligning Care Facility and Low-Barrier Navigation Center definitions with current State law
Separating definitions for medical clinics and standard doctor’s offices
Adding definitions for horizontal and vertical mixed-use
Clarifying differences between small and larger recycling facilities.
Creating a separate definition for Tattoo Artists and Body Piercing Services.
Adding a definition for showrooms
Clearly defined land uses will assist business owners and the public in determining where certain
types of businesses can locate. In addition, acknowledging the nuance between certain
businesses and identifying scale in determining use compatibility will allow the City to better align
the zoning districts and land use tables. These updates are designed to spur economic
development while responding to existing land uses and trends. The City Council is being asked
to review the draft land use definitions and provide feedback to staff for inclusion in the final
Zoning Code language.

COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS:
The zoning districts build on the foundation of the Placetypes identified in the General Plan and
further refine uses and development standards. The following list identifies each zoning district
and provides an excerpt from the General Plan related to the vision for each area.
Commercial (C): Key Nodes focused along El Camino Real.
Commercial uses include regional- and local-serving retail, restaurants, office, tourist, and
service businesses with easy access to and from residential neighborhoods. Development
is characterized by single-use commercial buildings, multi-tenant shopping centers, and
office buildings. Commercial tenants may include businesses targeted toward visitors to
Atascadero, such as breweries, distilleries, and recreation hubs.
Commercial Service (CS): El Camino Real south of Curbaril and South of San Anselmo.
The Commercial Service zoning district is similar to the Commercial zoning district but
would allow for more vehicle related service businesses and uses that may require some
level of outdoor use areas.
Commercial Innovation (CI): El Camino Real north of San Anselmo and Del Rio; South of
Morro Road to Santa Rosa.
The Innovation/Flex Placetype relates to one zoning district, the Commercial Innovation
(CI) zoning district, which is intended to promote opportunities for startup businesses and
head-of household jobs and provide spaces that can be adaptable to a variety of
compatible uses as workforce trends evolve. This zoning district should attract
concentrations of production, design, and maker-space businesses as well as uses that
support those businesses and the people that work there. Uses with outdoor storage are
not permitted except in appropriate locations and limited quantities, and all subject to
discretionary review.
Industrial (I): Traffic Way and Sycamore Road.
Industrial uses typically include heavy and moderately intense manufacturing,
distribution, and vehicle-related uses. Development consists of varying-sized industrial
buildings, either as standalone businesses or as part of an integrated development. These
areas are intended to support industry that contributes to the fiscal health of the City.
LAND USE TABLES
The Land Use Table identifies which uses are Allowed or Conditionally Allowed (AUP or CUP). If a
column is blank, the applicable use is not allowed. A full list of the proposed Land Use Table is
included in Attachment 3. The City Council is being asked to provide direction to staff on the
appropriateness of uses for each zoning district and make any recommendations for changes.
COMMERCIAL INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The new Commercial Innovation Zoning District is envisioned to become the City’s job and
production center. Very similar to the existing Commercial Park Zone, this District is also
envisioned to accommodate some types of resident and visitor serving uses such as winemaking,
Page 19 of 47
04/28/26 | Item G1 | Staff Report
breweries, coffee roasting, and similar businesses. To achieve this vision, future development
needs to provide tenant spaces that can accommodate a variety of uses and respond to business
trends over time. Generally, this means taller ceilings and opportunities for roll-up door spaces.
Development standards beyond the typical setback requirements are proposed for this zone.
Standards are proposed as follows:
Development Standard CI Zoning District
Minimum Lot Size 2 acres
Maximum Height 35 ft
Minimum Front Setback As needed to accommodate street tree setbacks
Minimum Side/Rear Setbacks None required except transitions to adjacent single-family
zoning district (existing standard) and 10 ft setback if
adjacent to multi-family zoning district (proposed).
Fences and Storage No fences allowed within 10 ft of the primary public street
frontage property line.
Outdoor storage limited to 10% of the floor area of the
principal building and must be located greater than 50 ft
from the primary public street frontage property line and 20
ft from any secondary street frontage property line.
Floor to Ceiling Ground Floor
Height
16 ft
Building Façade – Parking
lot/loading aisle facing
Storefronts/Access Bays wide enough to accommodate 12
ft x 12 ft roll-up doors required
Design requirements may be met with:
• Roll-up doors
• Sliding industrial doors or large operable storefront
systems
• Adequate framing and clear space to accommodate
a 12x12 roll-up door in the future
Must provide direct access to interior floor area
Minimum 1 storefront/access bay every 40 ft
Public Street Frontage Primary public street frontage must include transparent
openings (e.g., transparent doors, windows, glazed roll-up
doors) that constitute a minimum of 20% of the building
façade area
Page 20 of 47
04/28/26 | Item G1 | Staff Report
These design standards are intended to generate flexible use spaces that maintain visual
screening and pedestrian orientation along the street frontages with flexibility to accommodate
light-industrial spaces and equipment with some storage farther into the site. Implementation of
design standards will result in buildings that can be flexible to uses over time and respond to
market trends and tenant needs with a focus on the ability to accommodate light industrial,
artisan production, research and development, and light manufacturing. The City Council is being
asked to provide direction to staff on development standards for the Commercial Innovation
Zoning District and provide feedback on any changes or additional standards staff should
incorporate into the final code.
NON-CONFORMING USES IN THE DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL ZONE
The Downtown Commercial (DC) Zoning District is intended to support pedestrian-oriented,
active ground-floor uses that enhance economic vitality in downtown, such as retail, artisan uses,
restaurants, and entertainment facilities. Upper story uses include offices, lodging, and
residential as a complement to these uses. In recent years, new investment in Downtown has
resulted in the transfer of multiple non-conforming uses. The new General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance Update is an opportunity to accelerate this transition.
Existing Nonconforming uses in the Downtown Commercial Zone include: ground floor office
(including Medical offices around Sunken Gardens), ground floor residential (Entrada and Lewis
Ave), gas station, storage use (El Camino) and warehousing (Traffic Way).
Current Regulations state that non-conforming uses discontinued for 6 months or more must
revert to a conforming land use (9-7.106). There may be options to alter the non-conforming use
section:
1. Reduce discontinuance time to 60 days- or less
Under this scenario, a non-conforming use would be deemed discontinued if the use was not
active for 60 days or more. Discontinuance includes, but is not limited to: vacancy of the tenant
space, cessation of business activity, loss of required licenses, or removal of operational fixtures.
This would reduce the six-month grace period to 60 days.
2. Explore options requiring conformity at tenant/occupant turnover
Conformity could be linked to the operator rather than the discontinuation of use. The
nonconforming could terminate upon vacancy, change in tenancy, change in ownership of the
business, or cessation of operations, whichever occurs first. However, this option could subject
the City to legal challenge.
In summary, one or more of these options would result in a minor text amendment to the non-
conforming section of the Zoning Regulations. The intent is to only modify it as it applies to the
Downtown Commercial Zoning district, not the Downtown Office district or any other commercial
zoning districts. The City Council is being asked provide direction to staff on any desired changes
to the non-conforming land use standards.

04/28/26 | Item G1 | Staff Report
NEXT STEPS
Staff will incorporate Council direction for commercial zoning districts and integrate standards
and uses into the updated zoning code. The next zoning code update check-in will be a
comprehensive look at all code changes and review of any outstanding changes of note from the
previous discussions. These topics are scheduled for Planning commission and City Council review
in June. This will present another opportunity for review and feedback prior to the formal
adoption process.
CONCLUSION
Reimagining the commercial zoning districts in alignment with new Placetypes identified in the
General Plan provides an opportunity to refine land uses and ensure that the vision outlined in
the General Plan is implemented. Land Use definitions that respond to emerging trends, local
historical land uses, and State laws are key to supporting economic goals. Establishing a clear
framework for staff and decision makers will provide clarity to applicants and the community and
identify the components needed to achieve the City’s land use and economic goals.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
