Planning Commission Meeting - March 7, 2023

The City of Atascadero Planning Commission held a meeting on March 7, 2023, primarily focused on procedural matters and a road abandonment proposal. The commission approved the agenda and consent calendar without opposition. A key procurement-related discussion involved the proposed abandonment of a portion of Kaneo Road right-of-way between El Camino Real and Highway 101. Staff recommended the abandonment as the road was deemed unnecessary for future public street purposes, retaining a utility easement for potential electrical infrastructure. The commission unanimously approved a motion recommending the city council vacate the unconstructed portion of the right-of-way. The meeting also included updates on upcoming general plan updates and future development projects, but no new contracts or procurement actions were presented. The next meeting was scheduled for March 21, 2023.
