Planning Commission Meeting - February 20, 2024

The City of Atascadero Planning Commission held a meeting on February 20, 2024, addressing two main public hearings. The first involved a conditional use permit (CUP) for legalizing a 3,000 square foot accessory structure that includes an ADU and two RV garage bays, originally a code enforcement case due to unpermitted construction. The commission discussed drainage and stormwater concerns related to unpermitted flatwork and septic work, resulting in a condition requiring review and compliance with current codes as part of the building permit process. The CUP was approved unanimously with conditions addressing these issues. The second hearing concerned a lot line adjustment and conditional use permit for the development of a hotel at 3600 and 3610 El Camino Royale, including height and parking modifications. The commission reviewed site context, elevations, and parking considerations, with public comments on traffic safety and parking. The hotel project was approved unanimously. Additional discussions included ongoing property maintenance and upcoming infrastructure projects such as sewer line replacement and road repaving. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were reported, but conditions and approvals may influence future construction and public works activities.
