Darren Nash, City Planner
CEQA Determination: Addendum to the 2012 MND for the original Allegretto project. The Addendum is the appropriate document under CEQA to analyze the consistency of the Project with the type and intensity of development previously analyzed for the site in the MND as provided for in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 City Council Agenda April 7, 2026 Page 3 of 346
and 15164.

Q. PUBLIC HEARINGS

1. Introduce First Reading by Title Only an Amendment to Chapter 21.52 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code Updating Standards Related to Temporary, Prohibited, and Nonconforming Signs (RZN25-07, P25-0117)
79 - 97
Darcy Delgado, Associate Planner
CEQA Determination: The proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. State CEQA Guidelines §15060(c) provides that “[a]n activity is not subject to CEQA if … the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378.” Even if the proposed ordinance is considered a “project” subject to CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15320 (Class 20).

Appeal of the Planning Commission’s Decision to Approve an Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit 00-020 and Planned Development 00-023 for the Ravine Water Park at 2301 Airport Road (AMD25-02/P25-0124)
98 - 299
Warren Frace, Community Development Director
Piper Smith, Assistant Planner
CEQA Determination: On February 10, 2026, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and Planned development for the Ravine Water Park pursuant to a finding of consistency with 2004 adopted Ravine Water Park Initial Study and Mitigated Negative (“IS/MND”) Declaration. Staff is recommending that the City Council find that, in addition to compliance with the IS/MND, the Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development for the Ravine Water Park also qualifies for a categorical exemption from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines sections 15301, 15303 and 15311.

Recommendation: While the Appellant raises issues primarily related to existing conditions and maintenance issues unrelated to the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development, which do not present substantial evidence that the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development could have a potentially significant impact on the environment, the City Council may wish to consider imposing additional Conditions of Approval as a good faith gesture to ensure the harmonious future operation of the Ravine Water Park.

City Council Agenda April 7, 2026 Page 4 of 346
Staff recommends the City Council deny the appeal and sustain the Planning Commission’s decision with additional Conditions of Approval to be incorporated into draft Resolution A, approving the amendment to Conditional Use Permit 00- 020 and Planned Development 00-023 for the Ravine Water Park, with the addition of the following conditions of approval that must be implemented prior to final approval of building permits:

Require the existing detention basin to be regraded to hold 1700 cubic feet of stormwater. The condition should also require the installation of a metered outflow and a secondary overflow, consistent with the original construction plans. The Water Park operation could be required to repair downstream erosion and restore the roadway shoulder caused by unregulated stormwater flow to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

1. Prohibit the Ravine Water Park from using Paso Robles Boulevard for employee or visitor parking or for access to the Water Park.

2. To the extent permitted by law the applicant shall by accepting these conditions agree to defend (with legal counsel of City’s selection), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its elected and appointed officials, agents, attorneys, employees and officers, from any action, claim or proceeding brought by any party other than the applicant against the City or its elected and appointed officials, agents, employees and officers to attack, set aside, void, or annul a discretionary land use approval of the City, including but not limited to the approval of this CUP, Planned Development or associated CEQA action, which action is brought within the applicable statute of limitations. The required indemnification shall include damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action.

The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any such claim, action, or proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense.

3. R. DISCUSSION ITEMS

1. Progress Update Related to the Paso Robles City Council Vision and Goal Setting 300 - 305 Chris Huot, City Manager
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Recommendation: Receive the presentation on the draft City Council Goals, Priorities, and Work Plan developed through the facilitated strategic planning process with Jacob Green & Associates and the City’s leadership team. Provide feedback and direction to staff, along with input from the public and other key stakeholders, to guide further refinement, and direct staff to return with a final document for City Council consideration and acceptance as part of the strategic framework supporting the FY 2026–28 budget cycle.

2. Oak Tree Removal Permit 26-05–Request to Remove Oak Tree No. 903 in the Olsen South Chandler Specific Plan (OTR26-05, P26-0028)
306 - 346
Darren Nash, City Planner
CEQA Determination: An Environmental Impact Report (SCH 2019011065) was adopted for the Olsen South Chandler Specific Plan (Res. 20-024) including Exhibit B to the EIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Mitigation measure BIO-4(b) City Council Agenda April 7, 2026 Page 5 of 346
outlines required mitigation for oak trees removed to construct the OSCSP. Should the oak tree removal request be denied that action would not be a project under the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Recommendation: Approve Resolution 26-XXX, authorizing the removal of Oak Tree No. 903 based on the Arborist’s determination that the tree is in poor health and the proposed improvements for Hanson Road will cause significant impacts to Tree No. 903, and meets finding 10.01.050.D.1, based on the finding that the condition of the tree with respect to general health, status as a public nuisance, danger of falling, proximity to existing or proposed structures, or interference with utility services, and require mitigation trees as required by the project EIR mitigation measures.

GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENTS.
-------------------
Mayor and Council Members,
Please put this on a future agenda so we can review BBK fees with the constituents.

I want to address what the public is seeing during your meetings.

The City Attorney, Elizabeth Hull, is supposed to guide the Council on legal matters and act as the parliamentarian during meetings. That is her role. But what we are seeing is the City Manager stepping in and acting more like the parliamentarian, while the City Attorney sits back.

That is confusing to the public.

These roles exist for a reason. The City Manager runs operations. The City Attorney provides legal guidance and ensures meetings follow proper procedure. When those roles start to blur, it raises concerns about who is actually providing legal direction.

At the same time, the City continues to spend heavily on legal services. Yet during meetings, the structure does not reflect clear leadership from the City Attorney’s position. Ms Hull, sits back until asked.

That disconnect matters.

If the City is paying for legal expertise, the public should be able to clearly see it being used where it belongs — at the dais, guiding the Council in real time.

Clear roles build trust. Blurred roles create doubt.

Council Agenda Report
From: Casey Shepherd, Wastewater Manager
Subject: Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Water Systems Consulting Inc. (WSC) to Perform an Update to the City’s Wastewater Collections System Renewal Strategy and Master Plan CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: April 7, 2026
Facts

1. The City owns and operates a wastewater collection system consisting of approximately 140 miles of sewer pipelines and 13 sewage lift stations. This system collects wastewater from throughout the City and conveys it to the City’s wastewater treatment plant.

2. The oldest portions of the City’s wastewater collection system were installed in Paso’s westside and downtown areas, with some pipelines dating back to the early 1900s.

3. To prevent sanitary sewer overflows, protect public and environmental health, and to maximize the useful life of sewer system infrastructure, it is necessary to maintain a comprehensive operations and maintenance program supported by a strategic approach to system renewal, replacement, and expansion strategy that considers aging infrastructure, sewer system capacity, and future development within the City.

4. To support these efforts, the City maintains a Wastewater Collection System Renewal Strategy and Master Plan (Master Plan).

5. The Master Plan is used to: 1) evaluate existing system capacity, 2) plan for future growth and development, 3) assess infrastructure condition and risk, and 4) develop a capital improvement plan (CIP).

6. The Master Plan must be periodically updated to incorporate current data and planning assumptions.

This includes updating the hydraulic model of the sewer system to reflect current and projected flow conditions, which is then used to determine where capacity constraints may exist in near-term and buildout scenarios.

7. The City’s Wastewater Master Plan was last updated in 2019. Since that time, the City has completed several capital improvement projects identified in that plan. Additionally, updated development projections, wastewater flow data, and current asset condition data need to be evaluated and incorporated into the Master Plan.

8. Water System Consulting Inc. (WSC) prepared the City’s 2019 Wastewater Master Plan and maintains the most up-to-date hydraulic model of the City’s wastewater collection system. As a result, WSC has extensive familiarity with City’s wastewater system, modeling framework, and planning assumptions.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Approve Resolution 26-XXX Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Water Systems Consulting Inc. (WSC) to Perform an Update to the City’s Wastewater Collections System Renewal Strategy and Master Plan;

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
The City’s wastewater collection system is a critical component of public infrastructure that protects public health, supports economic development, and ensures regulatory compliance. Much of the system, particularly in the westside and downtown areas, is aging and requires ongoing evaluation and strategic planning to maintain reliability and service levels.

The City’s Wastewater Collection System Renewal Strategy and Master Plan serves as the primary planning tool to assess system capacity, evaluate infrastructure condition, and identify and prioritize capital improvement needs. The Master Plan also ensures that the City is prepared to accommodate future growth and development while minimizing the risk of sanitary sewer overflows and system failures.

Since adoption of the 2019 Master Plan, the City has implemented several identified capital improvement projects and has obtained updated information related to system flows, asset condition, and planned development. As a result, an update to the Master Plan is necessary to reflect current conditions, validate system performance, and identify any new or revised infrastructure needs.

Water System Consulting, Inc. (WSC) is uniquely qualified to perform the proposed work based on its prior and ongoing involvement with the City’s wastewater system. WSC prepared the City’s 2019 Wastewater Master Plan and currently maintains the most up-to-date hydraulic model of the wastewater collection system. Through these efforts, WSC has developed comprehensive institutional knowledge of the system, including its configuration, modeling structure, calibration, and planning assumptions. Additionally, WSC has completed several regional evaluations incorporating a range of development scenarios that are directly applicable to and will support the forthcoming Master Plan update.

Staff recommends the use of a sole-source procurement for this project. Although a competitive procurement process could be conducted, such an approach is not expected to yield additional value. On the contrary, it would likely increase costs and delay project delivery due to the time required for a new consultant to acquire system familiarity, reconstruct or validate the hydraulic model, and reconcile prior planning efforts. These duplicative efforts introduce inefficiencies and potential risks to consistency and data integrity.

Based on these considerations, sole-source procurement with WSC represents the most efficient, costeffective, and technically sound approach, and is in the best interest of the City.

Fiscal Impact
The total cost of the Master Plan Update shall not exceed $164,320. Wastewater Master Plan updates are generally performed on a five-year cycle and have been incorporated into the City’s current wastewater rate structure. The project will be funded through available reserves within the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Proposal for Wastewater Master Plan Update
Dear Casey,
Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) is pleased to submit our proposal to support the City of Paso Robles (City) with the Wastewater Master Plan Update. We appreciate the opportunity to continue partnering with the City on their wastewater collection system.

Our approach combines data-driven flow projection, hydraulic modeling, and condition evaluation to identify limitations and risks across the collection system. Building on available City data, we will calibrate and update the hydraulic model, evaluate near-term and buildout scenarios (including densification), and facilitate focused workshops to confirm findings and priorities. The resulting Master Plan will provide clear recommendations, cost opinions, and a phased CIP roadmap.

By partnering with WSC, the City will receive:

Clear, defensible planning basis. Updated existing and projected wastewater flows (5-year, 10-year, and buildout) and peaking factor analysis to support informed decision-making for sizing and prioritization.

Targeted capacity and reliability recommendations. A calibrated SewerGEMS model and evaluation criteria to pinpoint gravity and lift station deficiencies under wet-weather peak conditions that can be used to support development reviews in the future.

Actionable CIP with cost transparency. Prioritized capital projects supported by planning-level cost estimates and one-page project sheets, coordinated where feasible with roadway improvements to optimize spending and limit community disruption.

We can begin work immediately to help the City achieve its CIP timeline for supporting a future rate study. Please contact us with any questions or if you would like to discuss the scope, schedule, or desired planning assumptions in more detail.

Sincerely,
Water Systems Consulting, Inc.

City of Paso Robles | 5
(4) Wastewater Flows Workshop will be a virtual meeting, 1 hour in duration.

Task 3 Hydraulic Modeling

3.1 Update Model Infrastructure
• Update model infrastructure to be consistent with the City’s current sewer atlas (GIS). • Meet with City staff to review differences identified between model infrastructure and the City’s current GIS database to confirm infrastructure to be added to the model.

3.2 Calibrate Model
• Create model scenarios in the updated hydraulic model to simulate conditions during periods when flow monitoring data is available.
• Apply existing flow loading developed in Task 2 to the hydraulic model by assigning flows to property connection nodes in the model.
• Compare the model-predicted flows to the observed flows. Adjust the flow assignment factors within a reasonable range of values to improve the agreement between the model results and the observed flows.

3.3 Establish Evaluation Criteria
• Review and update system evaluation criteria for flows, gravity pipelines, force mains, and lift stations. These are anticipated to include:
− Allowable depth/diameter ratios (variable with pipe diameter) − Surcharging allowances for certain areas during peak wet weather flow − Gravity main flow velocity
− Lift station capacities
− Force main velocity
− Lift station cycle time

3.4 Collection System Capacity Evaluation
• Set up and evaluate the following modeling scenarios under peak hour wet weather flow conditions:
− Existing conditions
− Near Term (5-Year)
− Near Term (10-Year)
− Buildout (no densification)
• Calculate the capacity of each lift station using pump curves and force main configuration. Prepare system curve and pump curve exhibits for each lift station.

Compare the calculated lift station capacity to the nominal capacity and projected peak flow for existing and future scenarios. Make recommendations to correct deficiencies in the pumps, wet wells, and force mains.

Attachment 2

Wastewater Master Plan Update
City of Paso Robles | 6

3.5 Densification Analysis
• Update flow analysis to incorporate City’s densification assumptions. • Perform a sensitivity analysis to see how the buildout peak hour wet weather flow conditions from Task 3.4 are impacted by densification flows.

3.6 Modeling Approach Technical Memorandum
• Prepare a draft and final modeling approach technical memorandum for inclusion as an appendix to the Master Plan.

Deliverables:
(1) Draft Model Approach Technical Memorandum
(2) Final Model Approach Technical Memorandum
Assumptions:
(1) The existing hydraulic model contains many pipes without accurate invert data.

Obtaining missing invert data is not included in this analysis. WSC will utilize a “flattening” approach for analysis purposes of these mains. “Flattening” assumes these pipes with no data are installed at a minimum slope. If the capacity of the main is adequate at minimum slope, no further analysis is required. If a capacity constraint is identified at minimum slope, the main will be flagged for further investigation by the City to determine if a real capacity constraint exists. (2) Updating the model’s existing infrastructure will utilize the City’s current GIS database. Mains not in the GIS database are not assumed to be added as part of this task. An optional task has been included with additional time for any infrastructure that needs to be developed based on project plans/record drawings not in the City’s GIS.
(3) City will provide flow data from the last five years at the Wastewater Treatment Plant for determining average annual flow, peak hour dry weather flow, and peak hour wet weather flow observed at the Plant.
(4) City will provide existing SmartCover flow monitoring data to assist in model calibration.
(5) The model will incorporate parcel flows by placing the flow at a property connection within the model. This will facilitate future modeling evaluations by making it simple to update loads being redeveloped.
(6) Capacity analysis will be based upon peak hour wet weather flow conditions. A peaking factor will be developed for peak hour dry weather flow to support future City efforts but these flows will not drive capacity decisions. Average annual flow scenarios will be established in the model to facilitate loading, but will not be used for capacity analysis as average flows are much lower than peak hour wet weather flow conditions.
(7) City will provide guidance on desired infill scenario, including the following:
 Which land use designations or areas within the City are assumed to have densification.
 Percentage of residential properties assumed to develop an ADU.

Attachment 2

Wastewater Master Plan Update
City of Paso Robles | 7
 Which areas or percentage of residential properties are assumed to redevelop into multifamily development.
 Which areas are assumed to change zoning to accommodate hotels or mixeduse facilities. (8) Densification loading is assumed to be spread out evenly amongst an area or land use type unless specific parcels are known to be densifying.

Task 4 Condition Evaluation

4.1 Gravity Pipe Condition Analysis
• Perform a pipe age analysis for gravity sewer mains and force mains using age data available in GIS to estimate when investments may need to be made within the collection system.
• Utilize condition scoring from ITPipes to assign a likelihood of failure ranking to each gravity main.
• Use likelihood of failure scores to identify number of mains to be replaced over the next 10 years to determine an annual budget for rehabilitation and repair. • Work with City staff to identify improvements or replacement recommendations for high maintenance sewer lines.

4.2 Lift Station Evaluation
• Coordinate with the City to visit the following sewage lift stations:
− Lift Station 1
− Lift Station 2
− Lift Station 3
− Lift Station 8
− Lift Station 10
− Lift Station 12
• Perform condition assessments for the mechanical and structural components of the lift stations visited.
• Identify upgrade needs at each of the lift stations identified in this task and prioritize order of station repairs.

Assumptions:
(1) When pipes have not been televised or do not have condition scores in ITPipes, scoring will be projected based upon the known percentages of Grade 4/Grade 5 PACP defects observed in the rest of the system to inform the estimated amount of pipe that will need to be replaced and rehabilitated annually. (2) Lift stations 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, and 15 will be assumed to have the same assessment ranking as the 2019 Wastewater Master Plan.
(3) Lift station site visits are assumed to be 1.5 hours in duration for each station. (4) Lift station site visits will not evaluate electrical components.

Attachment 2

Wastewater Master Plan Update
City of Paso Robles | 8
(5) Inspection of buried force mains will not be included as part of this effort.

Task 5 CIP Development

5.1 CIP Development
• Update planning level unit costs used in the previous master plan to reflect current market conditions.
• Develop project cost estimates for replacing or upsizing capacity constrained pipelines and the highest likelihood of failure pipelines. • Develop project cost estimates to address lift station deficiencies. • Work with City staff to assess vulnerabilities with regard to flooding, fire risk, and electrical grid reliability when prioritizing CIP projects. It is assumed information about these vulnerabilities will be provided by the City. • Develop a CIP timetable to allocate projects into four categories:
− “A” Projects: 1-5 Year Timeframe
− “B” Projects: 6-10 Year Timeframe
− “C” Projects: 11-15 Year Timeframe
− “D” Projects: 16-30 Year Timeframe
• Review the City’s roadway replacement strategy in conjunction with proposed projects to align project schedules and reduce the need to perform construction in the same area twice.
• Lead a CIP workshop with the City to review the proposed CIP and gather feedback. • Develop a sewer replacement timeline map based on condition assessment findings, informed by the roadway replacement strategy.
• Prepare one-page project summaries for each project identified, including project description and cost assumptions.
• Identify strategic locations where additional SmartCover manholes or similar monitoring devices could be installed to better inform projects required to address capacity deficiencies over the 5-year to buildout planning horizon. SmartCover strategy is assumed to based upon the results of the modeling effort and will focus on areas that are projected to be borderline over capacity.

Assumptions:
(1) CIP workshop will be 2 hours in duration and occur virtually using a video conferencing platform. Attendees will include WSC’s Project Manager, Project Engineer, and Principal in Charge.
(2) Data resulting from the new placement of SmartCovers after the model has been calibrated will not be incorporated into the Master Plan analysis. The intent of the SmartCover monitoring in this task is to help the City identify what areas would benefit from monitoring to inform upsizing decisions. Additional analysis can be performed by WSC as part of a separate contract to analyze this data.

Council Agenda Report
From: Casey Shepherd, Wastewater Manager
Subject: Approval of a Resolution Authorizing a Contract with APG-Neuros for Master Control Panel Modifications and Equipment Required for Ammonia-Based Aeration Control at the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment Plant and Appropriating Funds Therefore CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines § 15301, Existing Facilities.

Date: April 7, 2026
Facts

1. The Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment Plant is the single largest user of electrical power of all City facilities.

2. The City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant electrical utility bills averaged approximately $39,000 per month over the last two years and are expected to continue increasing year over year.

3. The biological nutrient removal (BNR) basin is a critical process area that utilizes three 150- horsepower APG-Neuros turbo blowers to provide air to microscopic bacteria that break down and remove pollutants from wastewater.

4. The turbo blowers are the most energy-intensive equipment in the treatment plant and account for approximately 30-50% of the plant's energy consumption.

5. The blowers were installed as part of the 2016 treatment plant upgrade and currently operate under a dissolved oxygen (D.O.) control strategy, which was the standard technology available at that time.

6. In 2025, staff began evaluating an advanced control technology intended to reduce energy consumption, improve pollutant removal, and support process optimization, all with a focus on enhanced environmental stewardship.

7. This control strategy, commonly referred to as Ammonia-Based Aeration Control (ABAC), enables treatment facilities to monitor incoming ammonia levels and adjust blower operating speeds to minimize the amount of air being supplied to the BNR, resulting in significant reductions of electrical demand.

8. Upon completion of the ABAC upgrade, annual electricity savings are estimated at approximately 123,478 kWh, representing a 4.2% reduction in plant-wide energy consumption and an estimated annual utility cost savings of approximately $20,000 per year.

9. This project was submitted and has qualified for the Statewide Water Infrastructure and System Efficiency (SW-WISE) incentive program and has been approved for an incentive of up to $17,000 upon completion and verification of the project.

10. With a total project cost after incentives of $127,800, the return on investment (ROI) for the project is expected to be approximately six years; but energy savings will continue to be realized for the life of the wastewater treatment plant.

11. APG-Neuros is the original manufacturer of the turbo blower system equipment and is the only vendor capable of modifying the existing master control panel and integrating ammonia-based aeration control with the proprietary blower controls.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with APG-Neuros for ammonia-based aeration control at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant;

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
The Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment Plant is the largest consumer of electricity among all City facilities and, as a result, utility costs represent a significant ongoing expense for the Wastewater Department. The treatment plant is one of several City PG&E accounts that receive generation credits from the Airport Solar Project, which provides a fixed generation rate over the next 18 years. However, aside from the generation component on a PG&E utility bill, total electricity costs also include transmission, distribution, and demand charges, which are established by the utility provider and are anticipated to increase over time. Accordingly, efforts to reduce energy consumption at the treatment plant not only lower overall operating costs but may also allow excess generation credits to be reallocated to other City PG&E accounts.

The biological nutrient removal (BNR) process at the wastewater treatment plant, which is critical to meeting stringent discharge limits, utilizes APG-Neuros turbo blowers to supply air to microscopic bacteria that break down and remove pollutants—specifically nitrogen and carbon—from the wastewater. The BNR system and turbo blowers were originally installed during the 2016 treatment plant upgrade and currently operate using a dissolved oxygen (D.O.) control strategy to monitor and regulate air supply to the treatment process. This control strategy can result in supplying excess air during periods of low flow, when pollutant loading is minimal, and not enough air when flows and pollutant loads are high. It also creates issues with process stability and can result in inefficient pollutant removal.

Since the completion of the 2016 treatment plant upgrade, significant advancements have been made in instrumentation and control strategies that allow for much more efficient operation of the BNR process, resulting in substantial reductions in electrical demand. In addition to improved energy efficiency, ammonia-based aeration control enhances process optimization and reduces the negative impacts associated with over- or under-aeration.

Optimizing and reducing electrical demand, improving pollutant removal, and maintaining treatment process stability contribute to cost efficiency while supporting environmental sustainability.

Fiscal Impact
The total project cost is $144,800. Funding will be provided through a $17,000 incentive from the Statewide Water Infrastructure and System Efficiency (SW-WISE) program, with the remaining balance covered by the wastewater utility enterprise fund. Upon completion, the project is expected to generate approximately $20,000 in annual electricity cost savings, resulting in a return on investment in approximately 6 to 7 years.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, § 15301, Existing Facilities.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 26-XXX, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with APG-Neuros for master control panel modifications and equipment required for ammonia-based aeration control at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, appropriating funds therefore and finding this action is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

Below you will find the scope of supply to be provided by APGN Inc.:
1) Master Control Panel Modifications:

1. Programming
a. Modify the existing master control panel (MCP) PLC program to include ammonia based aeration control (ABAC) logic.
b. Modify the existing MCP HMI program to display ABAC inputs/outputs

2. ABAC Logic Description
a. The ABAC logic uses both the influent ammonia and effluent ammonia as inputs to trim the aeration zone DO set point using a customized feedforward controller. The DO set point is then inputted in to the cascaded DO controller.

The controller calculates a single DO set point for the primary control zone, which is typically set to the first zone of the process as this zone has the largest impact on the process performance. Operators set an offset from the primary DO set point for each secondary control zone, so that the DO set point for each individual zone is a fixed amount higher or lower than the DO set point in the primary control zone. Operators shall have the ability to limit the minimum and maximum allowable DO set point for each individual control zone.

The DO set point in the primary control zone is calculated using a combination of feed-forward and feedback logic. To calculate the feedforward control action, the controller continuously calculates the theoretical maximum ammonia removal rate (ARR) using a simplification of the process kinetics. The maximum ARR is calculated using the real-time influent flow, influent ammonia, effluent ammonia, and DO.

The feedback portion of the controller is used to calculate an adjustment factor to the calculated feed-forward DO set point based on the effluent ammonia measurement.

2. The applicant is currently under contract with Cuesta College to purchase the vacant 10.8-acre site, known as the “Bow-Tie” site.

3. The property is in Public Facilities (PF) General Plan land use classification and the PF zoning classification “provides for facilities owned by public agencies, including public schools.”

4. The applicant has requested General Plan Amendment 25-02 and Rezone 25-02 to amend the Land Use and Zoning Maps from PF to Parks and Open Space (POS) land use classification with a Resort Lodging Overlay (POS/RL), which “provides a land use category for public and private properties that are used for only open space and recreation”.

5. The RL Overlay can be applied to any property and is “intended to provide a means through which the City can consider and selectively provide appropriate locations for hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts inns, and similar forms of visitor-serving lodging (along with related accessor/ancillary land uses).

6. The applicant has also requested Specific Plan Amendment 26-01 to amend the Borkey Area Specific Plan, to amend Map D-1 Proposed General Plan Designations and Map D-2 Proposed Zoning Designations, to change the designations of the 10.8-acre bow tie site from PF to POS with POS/RL.

7. The applicant has requested Planned Development 25-06 and Conditional Use Permit 26-03 to establish and operate an expansion to the existing Allegretto Resort, consisting of multiple new buildings totaling 172,000 square feet that includes 93 new hotel keys, a spa, a 12,000± square foot conference center, viticulture building, and various other ancillary buildings.

8. The project was reviewed by the Development Review Committee on December 29, 2025. The Development Review Committee suggested the addition and clarification of some site planning and architectural components and ultimately recommended that the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to City Council.

9. The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the project on February 24, 2026 and on four successive votes of 6-0 recommended the City Council approve the project P25-0027 (GPA-25-02, RZN25-02, SPA26-01 PD 25-06, CUP 26-03) and associated Addendum to the 2012 Mitigated Negative Declaration.

10. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider General Plan Amendment 25-02, Specific Plan Amendment 26-01, Conditional Use Permit 26-03, and Planned Development 25-06 on March 17, 2026. On a vote of 6-0, the Council adopted Res. 26-021 approving an Addendum to a Mitigated Negative Declaration. On a vote of 6-0, the Council adopted Res. 26-022 approving a General Plan Amendment.

On a vote of 6-0, the Council adopted Res. 26-023 approving the Conditional Use Permit 26-03 and Development Plan 25-06.

11. A legal notice for the second reading of Ordinance 1167 was published in the New Times newspaper on March 26, 2026
Community Outreach
Noticing was conducted for the project, including publishing a legal advertisement in the New Times, posting a notice on the site, and mailing a notice to owners and occupants of properties within 300 feet of the site for each of the public hearings held by the Planning Commission and City Council. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project application on February 24, 2026 and the City Council held a public hearing on the project on March 17, 2026. A legal notice for the second reading of Ordinance 1167 was published in the New Times newspaper on March 26, 2026.

Options
After consideration of any public testimony, the City Council should consider the following options:

1. Take no action.

2. Approve Specific Plan Amendment 26-01 and Rezone 25-02 by holding the second reading and adopting Ordinance 1167 to amend the Borkey Specific Plan and to amend the Zoning Map to rezone the 10.8-acre site at the southeast corner of Dallons Drive and Buena Vista Drive (APN 008-121-021) to Parks and Open Space with Resort Lodging Overlay (POS-R/L).

3. Refer the project back to the Planning Commission for additional analysis.

4. Deny the project by adopting findings of denial.

Analysis and Conclusions
The Allegretto Resort by Ayres opened in October 2015 and included a 20-acre, 171-room luxury property located on Buena Vista Drive, across from the Cuesta College North Campus. The item before council is the proposed expansion of the resort which is intended to complement the existing resort with similar style architecture, colors, and materials for the buildings. The project will act as a campus with internal vehicle and pedestrian connectivity.

As a result, the applicant is requesting that the City Council amend the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map to change the zoning and land use designations from Public Facilities (PF) to Parks and Open Space with a Resort Lodging Overlay (POS-R/L). The R/L Overlay zoning allows hotel-resort uses with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Since the site is in the Borkey Area Specific Plan, the applicants have also applied to amend the zoning and general plan maps in the specific plan to accommodate the change from PF to POS-R/L.

A development plan and conditional use permit is also being processed to establish and operate the proposed 172,000 square foot expansion to the Allegretto Resort. The project proposes the following buildings in the following phases:

The viticulture building is intended to be an accessory use and be operated by Ayres Paso Robles; Ltd. to provide wine related education activities along with boutique scale wine production.

The project will also be required to dedicate a future street right-of-way across the viticultural site to allow a future street connection to Experimental Station Road. This street will not be improved at this time but could be improved in the future if any significant land use or zoning changes are approved for the Experimental Station Road area located to the south of the resort.

Traffic Considerations
The project site is served by two arterial roadways: Buena Vista Drive (north–south arterial) and Dallons Drive (east–west arterial). Access to the site is proposed via the existing driveways on Buena Vista Drive, Dallons Drive, and Experimental Station Road, in addition to four new driveways on Dallons Drive.

A traffic impact analysis was prepared by Central Coast Transportation Consulting. The project is anticipated to generate approximately 1,432 net new vehicle trips per weekday. Based on the analysis, traffic volumes at surrounding intersections do not warrant installation of new intersection controls (e.g., traffic signals or all-way stop control). However, intersection modifications are required at Buena Vista Drive/Experimental Station Road and Buena Vista Drive/Dallons Drive to maintain safe and efficient operations.

Improvements at the Buena Vista Drive/Dallons Drive intersection include pedestrian safety enhancements such as curb bulb-outs at the northwest and southwest corners, crosswalk improvements, and modifications to signing, striping, and pavement markings necessary to support the revised intersection configuration and maintain public safety.

Improvements at the Buena Vista Drive/Experimental Station Road intersection include upgraded curb ramps to provide ADA-compliant pedestrian access, installation of a marked crosswalk, modified signing and striping to accommodate the revised configuration, and construction of a curb bulb-out at the northeast corner to enhance pedestrian safety and prevent right-turn lane vehicles from proceeding straight through the intersection.

Frontage Improvements
Frontage improvements are required consistent with Municipal Code Section 11.12 and include completion of sidewalk at the northeast project boundary. New sidewalk improvements are required along the south side of Dallons Drive between Buena Vista Drive and Jena Court. Additional frontage improvements include installation of street lighting and refurbishment of parkway landscaping along the project frontage, including new street trees.

Drainage
The site is currently developed as an operational vineyard resort, with existing improvements draining to three on-site stormwater basins located at the northwest, northeast, and southwest corners of the property. As part of the proposed expansion, the three existing basins will be removed or modified to accommodate the revised site layout and additional impervious surface area:
 The northwest basin will be removed, with stormwater flows redirected to a proposed subsurface detention chamber.
 The northeast basin will be relocated.
 The southwest basin will be expanded to accommodate additional runoff generated by the proposed improvements.
 Two additional drainage facilities will be constructed to serve the expanded project area.

All basin outfalls will be designed to match pre-project discharge rates, ensuring no increase in peak downstream flows.

Utilities
The project will be served by a proposed private water and sewer system. The system has been designed to adequately meet domestic water demand, fire flow requirements, and wastewater service needs.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed expansion of the Allegretto Resort is anticipated to result in a positive fiscal impact to the City. The project would add 93 hotel rooms along with supporting amenities including a spa, conference center, and related visitor-serving facilities. These uses are expected to generate additional transient occupancy tax (TOT), sales tax, and property tax revenues while supporting continued growth in the City’s tourism economy.

According to the Paso Robles Tourism Impact Study (Beacon Economics, 2025), visitors spend approximately $450.8 million annually in Paso Robles and support 3,424 local jobs, representing roughly one-fifth of total employment in the city. Visitor spending also generates approximately $20.9 million in tax revenue, providing about 37 percent of the City’s General Fund. Expansion of visitor-serving lodging and hospitality facilities is consistent with the City’s economic strategy and contributes to maintaining this important revenue base.

The project includes frontage improvements, pedestrian and intersection safety improvements, drainage infrastructure, and on-site utility systems that will be constructed as part of the development. As such, the project is not expected to require significant additional City capital expenditures.

Overall, the project is expected to contribute additional visitor activity, employment opportunities, and ongoing tax revenue to the City while supporting Paso Robles’ established tourism and hospitality sector.

CEQA
In 2012 the City Council, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000 et seq.) (CEQA), and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et seq.) determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) be prepared pursuant to CEQA in order to analyze all potential adverse environmental impacts of General Plan Amendment 12-001, Rezone 12-001, Tentative Parcel Map 12-004, Planned Development 12-001, and Conditional Use Permit 12-003. In July 2012, the City Council approved an MND (SCH No. 2012051069) (2012 MND) for the project.

As lead agency, and as part of the City’s due diligence, the City required an updated Traffic Impact Study, Biological Study, Cultural Study, Air Quality and Green House Gas assessment, to determine if the Project would result in any new or more severe significant effects not identified in the 2012 MND. Based on this study, a full analysis of the scope of the Project, and the previously adopted 2012 MND, none of the criteria specified in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental document to be prepared is triggered. Therefore, an addendum is the appropriate document under CEQA to analyze the consistency of the Project with the type and intensity of development previously analyzed for the site in the MND as provided for in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 and 15164. As part of the approvals, the City Council will consider approving an Addendum to the previously adopted 2012 MND and MMRP for Planned Development 25-06, Conditional Use Permit 26- 03, Rezone 25-02, Specific Plan Amendment 26-01, and General Plan Amendment GPA 25-02, in accordance with the Statutes and Guidelines of CEQA and the City’s Procedures for Implementing CEQA.

Recommendation
Approve the second reading by title only and adopt Ordinance No.1167, amending the Borkey Specific Plan (26-01) and the Zoning Map (25-02) to rezone the 10.8-acre site at the southeast corner of Dallons Drive and Buena Vista Drive (APN 008-121-021) to Parks and Open Space with Resort Lodging Overlay (POS-R/L).

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. All of the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. Based on the facts and analysis presented to it, including all written and oral testimony, the City Council hereby finds and determines:

Specific Plan Amendment Findings
a. The specific plan amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the general plan including Land Use Goal 1 supported by Land Use Policy 1A; Land Use Policy 2B, Action Item 2; Land Use Policy 2B, Action Item 4; Land Use Policy 2D; Land Use Policy 2H supported by Action Item 1; Land Use Policy 2I; Circulation Policy 1B supported by Action Items 1.e and 4; and Conservation Policy 2B supported by Action Item 4. b. The specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community because it is a minor expansion of the POS-R/L zoning district located immediately south of the subject property.
c. The specific plan amendment includes provisions that ensure that adequate public facilities will be available to serve the range of development described in the plan because the project would be subject to development impact fees to ensure the applicant pays a fair share toward public facilities.
d. The specific plan amendment results in the development of desirable character and use types that will be compatible with the surrounding area, provides effective buffering from adjacent uses, and includes policies for the protection of prominent ridgelines, oak trees, and other

Attachment 2
natural resources because it is a minor extension of the adjacent POS-R/L zoning district and the property is not on a prominent ridgeline.

Rezone Amendment Findings
a. The rezone amendment is internally consistent with the provisions of the zoning code including Parks and Open Space zoning with Lodging Overlay:
i. The Parks and Open Space (POS) zoning with lodging (L) overlay zoning district is intended to provide a means through which the City Council (and, through the development review process, the Planning Commission) can consider and selectively provide appropriate locations for resort hotels, motels, bed and breakfast inns, and similar forms of visitor-serving lodging (along with related accessory/ancillary land uses). The Allegretto Resort expansion project will provide visitor serving lodging on a site adjacent to the existing resort. ii. The City’s adopted economic development strategy establishes the goal of developing the city into an “end destination” tourist attraction. Providing a Parks and Open Space (POS) zoning with lodging (L) overlay zoning district can assist in achieving this goal by encouraging consideration of appropriate locations for resorts, lodging, and related/ancillary land uses (without providing the broader range of permitted and conditionally permitted land uses and the accompanying neighborhood and environmental impacts that are associated with a commercial or industrial general plan or zoning designation). The L overlay zoning district can be established on any property, subject to approval of a zone change application.

The Allegretto Resort expansion project will provide an end destination tourist attraction on a site adjacent to the existing resort.
iii. Considerations upon which to base approval or denial of the Parks and Open Space (POS) zoning with lodging (L) overlay zoning district application shall include, but not be limited to, adequacy of streets and highways to handle the anticipated traffic and compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses. The City Council may determine not to consider a Parks and Open Space (POS) zoning with lodging (L) overlay zoning district application without the accompanying site plan and elevation designed to demonstrate how the design of the project could be considered compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Allegretto Resort expansion includes a development plan that provides site planning and architectural design that complements the existing Allegretto Resort. b. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the city because it is a resort lodging overlay in an existing resort lodging overlay area. The general plan amendment is a reasonable expansion of the Parks and Open Space with Resort Lodging Overlay designation. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography; is suitable in terms of the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities; and is served by highways and streets adequate in width and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located.

Section 3. Approval. The City Council hereby ordains the zoning district of the property located at the southeast corner of Dallons Drive and Buena Vista Drive (APN 008-121-021) shall be changed

Attachment 2
to Parks and Open Space, Resort Lodging Overlay (POS-R/L), as depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 4. Approval. The City Council hereby ordains the property located at the southeast corner of Dallons Drive and Buena Vista Drive (APN 008-121-021) shall be rezoned to the Parks and Open Space, Resort Lodging Overlay (POS-R/L) zoning district, as depicted in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 5. Environmental Determination. In 2012 the City Council, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000 et seq.) (CEQA), and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et seq.) determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) be prepared pursuant to CEQA in order to analyze all potential adverse environmental impacts of General Plan Amendment 12-001, Rezone 12-001, Tentative Parcel Map 12-004, Planned Development 12-001, and Conditional Use Permit 12-003. In July 2012, the City Council approved an MND (SCH No. 2012051069) (2012 MND) for the project.

As lead agency, and as part of the City’s due diligence, the City required an updated Traffic Impact Study, Biological Study, Cultural Study, Air Quality and Green House Gas assessment, to determine if the Project would result in any new or more severe significant effects not identified in the 2012 MND. Based on this study, a full analysis of the scope of the Project, and the previously adopted 2012 MND, none of the criteria specified in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental document to be prepared is triggered. Therefore, an addendum is the appropriate document under CEQA to analyze the consistency of the Project with the type and intensity of development previously analyzed for the site in the MND as provided for in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 and 15164.

On March 17, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 26-021 approving an Addendum to the previously adopted 2012 MND for Planned Development 25-06, Conditional Use Permit 26-03, Rezone 25-02, Specific Plan Amendment 26-01, and General Plan Amendment GPA 25- 02, in accordance with the Statutes and Guidelines of CEQA and the City’s Procedures for Implementing CEQA.

Section 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

Section 7. Custodian of Records. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings are based are located at the City’s offices at 1000 Spring Street, Paso Robles, CA 93446. The City Clerk is the custodian of the record of proceedings.

Section 8. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect 30 days after its passage and adoption as provided by Government Code section 36397.

Section 9. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause a summary thereof to be published at least five (5) days prior to the meeting at which the proposed Ordinance is to be adopted and shall post a certified copy of the proposed Ordinance in the Office of the City Clerk. Within fifteen (15) days of the adoption of the Ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause a summary of the Ordinance to be published, including the vote for and against the same, in accordance with Government Code Section 36937.

Council Agenda Report
From: Sam Ricklefs, Assistant Planner
Subject: Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Removal of a 51-inch Diameter Valley Oak Tree Located at 2400 Golden Hill Road (APN 025-423-023)
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 – Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land.

Date: April 7, 2026
Facts

1. In March 2026, Eagle Energy (“Applicant”) applied for Oak Tree Removal 26-06requesting the removal of one 51-inch diameter Valley Oak tree (Quercus lobata) submitted by Eagle Energy for the property located at 2400 Golden Hill Road (APN 025-423-023), containing a 76-gasstation and associated store.

2. The application included a report dated April 2024 from Certified Arborist Cory Pereira with Whit’sTurn Tree Care. As part of the report, the Arborist found evidence of decay and pest infestation within the tree, as well as signs of a decline and reduction in vigor due to extended drought conditions. The Arborist stated that limbing of the tree would have limited assurance of the long-term survival of the tree and recommended removal of the tree as a “safe and practical alternative”.

3. Applicant provided photos of limb failures in February 2026 due to strong wind and rain conditions.

4. Planning Staff inspected the site and reviewed the tree proposed for removal were unable to make the determination that the tree is “clearly dead or diseased beyond correction.”

5. Therefore, under Paso Robles Municipal Code section 10.01.050.C of the Oak Tree Ordinance, the tree is considered to be “healthy”, and the City Council must determine whether the tree should be removed based on the factors listed in Section 10.01.050.D.

6. However, the condition of the oak tree with respect to its general health, danger of limbs failure, and proximity to existing structures justifies removal.

7. The City’s Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance requires replacement of 25% of the diameter of the oak being removed. In this case, removal of the 51-inch Blue Oak tree would require the replanting of as many as eight (8) 1.5-inch diameter native oak mitigation trees.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Approve Oak Tree Removal Permit 26-06, authorizing the removal of one 51-inch Valley Oak tree and require mitigation oak trees to be planted;

3. Deny Oak Tree Removal Permit 26-06 with findings and require the oak tree to remain and be protected;

4. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
Certified Arborist Cory Pereira, Whit’s-Turn Tree Care, evaluated the Oak tree in April 2024 and provided an evaluation of the tree’s health. The Arborist found evidence of decay and pest infestation within the tree, as well as signs of a decline and reduction in vigor due to extended drought conditions. The Arborist stated that limbing of the tree would have limited assurance of the long-term survival of the tree and noted removal of the tree as a “safe and practical alternative”.

The tree suffered from limb failures in February 2026 (picture below), due primarily to a strong series of wind and rainstorms in the area. Applicant has indicated that they fear that the recent limb failures posed a significant risk to pedestrians passing near the tree and to vehicles in the adjoining parking lot.

City Staff requested an updated arborist
report to further assess the tree’s health
and structural condition, but no additional
report has been provided. Despite this, the
2024 Arborist Report contains sufficient
findings and analysis to enable the City
Council’s review and deliberation of the
matter.

The Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance
requires staff to consider five factors when
making a recommendation to City Council
for oak tree removal permits. The factors
are listed below with an explanation for
how each was considered in staff’s
recommendation in italics:

1. The condition of the oak tree with respect to its general health, status as a public nuisance, danger of falling, proximity to existing or proposed structures, interference with utility services, and its status as host for a plant, pest or disease endangering other species of trees or plants with infection or infestation;
The Project Arborist has provided an arborist report that indicates the tree contains evidence of decay and pest infestation in the tree, as well as signs of decline due to extended drought conditions. The report indicated that several branches in the tree’s canopy are likely to contribute to large branch failures in coming years, which may present a risk to pedestrians and vehicles.

Limbing of the canopy will significantly alter the tree’s structure while providing only limited assurance of the tree’s survival. Based on these findings, the Arborist recommended full removal of the tree as a “safe and practical alternative” to other potential mitigations.

2. The necessity of the requested action to allow construction of improvements or otherwise allow reasonable use of the property for the purpose for which it has been zoned. In this context, it shall be the burden of the person seeking the permit to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the director that there are no reasonable alternatives to the proposed design and use of the property. Every reasonable effort shall he made to avoid impacting oak trees, including but not limited to use of custom-building design and incurring extraordinary costs to save oak trees;

There is no further construction proposed for this property. The request for removal is due to the tree’s declining health and potential risks posed to vehicles and pedestrians.

3. The topography of land, and the potential effect of the requested tree removal on soil retention, water retention, and diversion or increased flow of surface waters. The director shall consider how either the preservation or removal of the oak tree(s) would relate to grading and drainage. Except as specifically authorized by the planning commission and city council, ravines, stream beds and other natural water-courses that provide a habitat for oak trees shall not be disturbed; The subject oak tree does not contribute to an intact habitat and is not in close proximity to significant flow of surface waters.

4. The number, species, size and location of existing trees in the area and the effect of the requested action on shade areas, air pollution, historic values, scenic beauty and the general welfare of the city as a whole;
The oak tree provides both shade and scenic beauty to the surrounding area, and is the only mature oak tree located on the property. Applicant will need to replace the tree with mitigation trees.

5. Good forestry practices such as, but not limited to, the number of healthy trees the subject parcel of land will support.

Removal of the tree would require replacement by either eight (8) native oaks at the minimum

1.5-inc caliper or seven (7) native oaks at 2-inch caliper. The number of trees required is unlikely to fit within the given landscaped area, and would need to be planted across the property to meet requirements of the Oak Tree Removal Ordinance.

Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact on the City from this action.

Staff recommends that pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City Council determine that this proposal to remove the 51-inch Oak tree is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 – Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land, which “consist of minor private alterations in the condition of land and/or vegetation which do not involve the removal of a healthy, mature, scenic trees, except for forestry and agricultural purposes.” Here, the proposed project involves the removal of one oak tree that is structurally compromised and poses a hazard due to its condition and proximity to both pedestrian areas and vehicle parking. The tree removal process is limited to the removal of one oak tree in poor health and is thus a minor private alteration. There is no evidence of any unusual or special conditions that would result in a significant effect on the environment.

Recommendation
Approve Resolution 26-XXX, authorizing the removal of one 51-inch Valley Oak tree and require mitigation oak trees to be planted.

RESOLUTION 26-XXX

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASO ROBLES APPROVING OTR 26-06, REQUESTING THE REMOVAL OF ONE (1) VALLEY OAK TREE LOCATED AT 2400 GOLDEN HILL ROAD (APN 025-423-023)
WHEREAS, in March 2026, Eagle Energy (“Applicant”) applied for Oak Tree Removal 26-06 requesting the removal of one 51-inch diameter Valley Oak tree (Quercus lobata) submitted by Eagle Energy (Owner) for the property located at 2400 Golden Hill Road (APN 025-423-023), containing a 76 gas station and associated store; and
WHEREAS, certified Arborist Cory Pereira, with Whit’s-Turn Tree Care, prepared an Arborist Report in April 2024 (“Report”) to evaluate the oak tree on the property and provide an evaluation of the tree’s health. As part of the Report, the Arborist found evidence of decay, pest infestation, and a decline and reduction in vigor due to extended drought conditions and recommended the oak tree be removed; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director could not make the determination that the tree is “clearly dead or diseased beyond correction,” and therefore, the tree is “healthy” as defined by Paso Robles Municipal Code section 10.01.050.C of the Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance. The City Council must determine whether the tree should be removed based on the factors listed in Section

10.01.050.D; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance requires replacement of 25% of the diameter of the oak being removed. In this case, removal of the 51-inch Valley Oak tree would require the replanting of as many as eight (8) 1.5-inch diameter native oak mitigation trees; and WHEREAS, on April 7, 2026, the City Council met to discuss the request for an oak tree removal on April 7, 2026, considered the facts as presented in the staff report prepared for this project, and accepted public testimony; and
WHEREAS, the City Council determine that this proposal to remove the 51-inch Oak tree is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 – Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land, which “consist of minor private alterations in the condition of land and/or vegetation which do not involve the removal of a healthy, mature, scenic trees, except for forestry and agricultural purposes.” Here, the proposed project involves the removal of one oak tree that is structurally compromised and poses a hazard due to its condition and proximity to both pedestrian areas and vehicle parking.

Council Agenda Report
From: Darcy Delgado, Associate Planner
Subject: Introduce First Reading by Title Only an Amendment to Chapter 21.52 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code Updating Standards Related to Temporary, Prohibited, and Nonconforming Signs (RZN25-07, P25-0117)
CEQA Determination: The proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not qualify as a “project” under CEQA.

State CEQA Guidelines §15060(c) provides that “[a]n activity is not subject to CEQA if … the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378.” Even if the proposed ordinance is considered a “project” subject to CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15320 (Class 20).

Date: April 7, 2026
Facts

1. The City of El Paso de Robles regulates signs as specified in Chapter 21.52 (“Signs”) of the Paso Robles Municipal Code.

2. Signs significantly affect the aesthetic appeal of the City and its streetscapes, influence the quality of the visual environment, and shape perceptions of local economic conditions, as well as present safety, traffic, and circulation issues.

3. The City has a reputation as a community with native beauty, unique visitor attractions such as wineries, and distinctive architecture with a historic downtown, all of which makes tourism a staple of the City’s economy. Updating the sign code helps balance community design goals with free speech protections, providing clearer guidance for applicants, staff, and enforcement while supporting orderly development.

4. Best practices and relevant constitutional case law emphasize regulating signs based on objective, “time, place, and manner” standards—such as size, height, location, lighting, and duration—rather than the message displayed on the sign. Therefore, it is appropriate to amend the existing sign rules from time to time to keep up with best practices.

5. This zoning code text amendment would update Chapter 21.52 (“Signs”) to align with best practices in a content-neutral manner that safeguards fundamental free speech rights, while also protecting the community’s aesthetic and safety objectives, enhances the City’s visual environment so as to foster commerce and tourism, minimize visual clutter, and serves the public health, welfare and safety and traffic safety and circulation concerns.

6. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 10, 2026, and considered the facts as presented in the staff report prepared for this project, and accepted public testimony regarding the project, and on four-consecutive votes of 4-0-3 (Commissioners Christensen, Marlow, and Lorenz were absent) voted to recommend the City Council approve the zoning code text amendment.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Introduce for first reading by title only Ordinance XXXX amending Chapter 21.52 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code;

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
The proposed amendment to the Zoning Code Sign Ordinance is intended to preserve the City’s ability to regulate signage in a manner that benefits the community as a whole, while also safeguarding constitutionally protected free speech. The update addresses regulations related to prohibited signs, temporary signs, and nonconforming signs, and includes minor revisions to Section 21.52.110, “Administration and Enforcement.” Overall, the amendment is considered a “cleanup” action designed to clarify existing provisions and bring the City’s sign regulations into alignment with current case law and industry best practices.

The ordinance proposes revisions to the “prohibited signs” provisions in Section 21.52.040 by expanding and refining the definitions of “Flashing or Moving Signs” and “Vehicle or Trailer-Mounted Signs.” It also introduces new definitions for “Obsolete Signs,” “Obstruction of Ingress or Egress,” and “Signs in the Public Right-of-Way,” which are intended to address common enforcement challenges and provide clearer guidance to property owners, businesses, and staff.

In addition, the ordinance reorganizes and clarifies the City’s regulations for “temporary signs” under Section 21.52.090 to improve usability and ensure consistency in application. Minor clarifications are also included for administrative and enforcement procedures in Section 21.52.110 to enhance transparency and effectiveness in implementation.

The proposed amendments are content-neutral and reflect “time, place, and manner” regulations that are consistent with applicable legal standards. The City Council is being asked to approve the proposed text amendments, which are provided with track changes in Attachment 1. A recommended action is included in Attachment 2, Exhibit A, where the amendments to Chapter 21.52 are presented in a clean (non-tracked) format.

Fiscal Impact
This Zoning Code amendment would not directly impact the City’s fiscal resources.

CEQA
The proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. State CEQA Guidelines §15060(c) provides that “[a]n activity is not subject to CEQA if … the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378.” Even if the proposed ordinance is considered a “project” subject to CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15320 (Class 20).

Recommendation
Introduce for first reading by title only Ordinance XXXX, amending Chapter 21.52 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code.

ORDINANCE NO. XXXX N.S.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES AMENDING CHAPTER 21.52 OF THE EL PASO DE ROBLES MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SIGNS AND

FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
WHEREAS, Chapter 21.52 of the El Paso de Robles Municipal Code regulates the placement, design, and maintenance of signs within the City ; and
WHEREAS, best practices now emphasize regulating signs based on objective, physical characteristics, such as size, height, location, lighting, and duration, rather than the message displayed on the sign itself ; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that updating the “Temporary Signs,” “Prohibited Signs,” “Nonconforming Signs,” and related provisions of Chapter 21.52 will modernize the regulations in keeping with best practices that emphasize content neutral, objective standards such as size, height, lighting, and location ; and
WHEREAS, on March 10, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing at which it received a staff report, considered all public testimony, and reviewed the proposed ordinance amending Chapter 21.52; and
WHEREAS, on March 10, 2026, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 26-012 recommending that the City Council adopt the ordinance amending Chapter 21.52; and WHEREAS, on April 7, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed amendments, at which it received a staff report, considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission, considered all public testimony, and reviewed the proposed ordinance WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Recitals. All of the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. Environmental Determination. The City Council finds that the proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. State CEQA Guidelines §15060(c) provides that “[a]n activity is not subject to CEQA if … the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378.” Here, the proposed ordinance does not qualify as a “project” as defined in State CEQA Guidelines section 15378 for at least two different reasons.

First, Section 15378 defines a project as an activity that “has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(a).) Here, the proposed ordinance will not result in any construction or development, and it will not have any effect that would physically change the environment. Accordingly, it is not a “project” subject to CEQA. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c).)

Attachment 2
Second, Section 15378 explicitly excludes from its definition of “project” the following:
“organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) The proposed ordinance consists of administrative and organizational amendments to Chapter 21.52 of the El Paso de Robles Municipal Code that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, it is not a project subject to CEQA.

Even if the proposed ordinance is considered a “project” subject to CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15320 (Class 20). Class 20 consists of “changes in the organization or reorganization of local governmental agencies where the changes do not change the geographical area in which previously existing powers are exercised. The proposed ordinance is limited to amending Section 21.52.040, “Prohibited Signs,” Section 21.52.090, “Temporary Signs,” Section 21.52.100, “Nonconforming Signs – Copy Changes,” and Section

21.52.110, “Administration and Enforcement,” of Title 21 of the Municipal Code to better align the types of prohibited, temporary, and nonconforming signs with best practices in an even-handed manner that safeguards fundamental free speech rights, while also protecting the community’s aesthetic and safety objectives, enhances the City’s visual environment so as to foster commerce and tourism, minimize visual clutter, and serves the public health, welfare and safety and traffic safety and circulation concerns. Further, the Zone Text Amendment is exempt from CEQA under the “common sense exemption” set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which provides that an activity is not subject to CEQA “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” As explained above, the ordinance merely makes objective updates to the standards for signs and does not allow any new types or intensities of land use activities. Lastly, none of the exceptions to the use of categorical exemptions identified in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply:
there is no potential for cumulative impacts; there are no unusual circumstances that would have a significant impact on the environment due to the adoption of the Ordinance; the Ordinance would not negatively impact scenic resources within a duly designated scenic highway; there is no record of hazardous waste and the Ordinance has no potential to impact historic resources.

The City Council directs staff to file a Notice of Exemption for this Ordinance with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines.

Section 3. Amendment of Chapter 21.52. Section 21.52.040, “Prohibited Signs,” Section 21.52.090, “Temporary Signs,” Section 21.52.100, “Nonconforming Signs – Copy Changes,” and Section

21.52.110, “Administration and Enforcement,” of Chapter 21.52, “Signs,” of the El Paso de Robles Municipal Code are hereby repealed and replaced read as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. All other provisions of Chapter 21.52 remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically provided herein.

Section 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its final passage and adoption.

Attachment 2
Section 6. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause a summary thereof to be published at least five (5) days prior to the meeting at which the proposed Ordinance is to be adopted and shall post a certified copy of the proposed Ordinance in the Office of the City Clerk. Within fifteen (15) days of the adoption of the Ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause a summary of the Ordinance to be published, including the vote for and against the same, in accordance with Government Code Section 36937.

A nonconforming sign shall not be structurally altered, increased in area, relocated, or used or modified in a manner that would change the physical characteristics of the sign. Changes to sign copy on nonconforming signs shall require a sign permit subject to review and approval by the development review committee.

21.52.110 - Administration and Enforcement.

A. Abatement

1. Nuisance Abatement. Signs not in compliance with this chapter may be declared to be a public nuisance, and be abated in compliance with the requirements of the city’s Municipal Code Chapter 9.06 (Nuisance Abatement). Alternatively, signs not in compliance with this Chapter and deemed to be a minor violation by the enforcement officer may be enforced through the city’s administrative citation process as set forth in Chapter 1.03 (Administrative Citation) of the Municipal Code.

2. Summary Abatement. Signs located in the public right-of-way may be declared to be a public nuisance subject to summary abatement by the

Exhibit A
city’s enforcement official, as defined in Municipal Code Chapter 9.06 (Nuisance Abatement). In addition to any criminal or civil penalties prescribed by law, the actual costs of abatement of such signs shall become a debt owed to the city by the person responsible for or causing placement of the sign.

B. Abandoned Signs

1. Change in Use. Any sign advertising a use, occupancy or product that has not existed for a period of one hundred eighty consecutive calendar days shall be deemed obsolete or abandoned. It shall be unlawful for any sign owner, the occupant of such premises, or the owner of any such premises to fail or refuse to remove an abandoned or obsolete sign or sign support, pole or structure following an order to do so.

2. Expiration of Event. The property owner or person responsible for the installation of a temporary sign authorized by this chapter relating to a specific event shall remove the sign promptly following the expiration of the event unless different time limits apply to the sign as specifically provided for in this chapter. Any such sign relating to a specific event shall be deemed obsolete or abandoned seven days following said event.

If the city removes the sign following its abandonment, the removed sign will be held by the city for a period of thirty days and the property/sign owner notified of the same. Failure to respond to the notification may result in the destruction of the sign or disposal by the city.

C. Failure to Maintain. All signs shall be kept in a good state of repair and preservation. A sign may be deemed abandoned if, after ninety days written notice to the permit holder, the permit holder has failed or refused to maintain the sign.

Upon such declaration, the sign may be considered abandoned and abated as provided in Subsection 21.52.110(B) (Abandoned Signs) of this section.

D. Hazardous or Unsafe Signs. The enforcement official, upon identification of a hazardous or unsafe sign, shall give written notice to the property owner and/or party responsible for the sign or the condition or conditions that render the sign hazardous or unsafe, and an order to abate the public nuisance caused by the existence of the hazardous or unsafe sign.

Hazardous and unsafe signs include, but are not limited to, signs that obstruct views of pedestrian and vehicular traffic at street intersections or driveways, signs that create a glare or other visual distraction that impedes a driver’s ability to see, and signs that are dilapidated, structurally unsound or pose a fire threat.

The enforcement official shall determine an appropriate time period for abatement of the public nuisance based on the degree of hazard. At the expiration of the time period, if the hazard has not been voluntarily abated, the enforcement official

Exhibit A
shall proceed to abate the nuisance in compliance with the procedures contained in Municipal Code Chapter 9.06.

E. Right of Entry. When it is necessary to make an inspection to enforce the provisions of this chapter, or when the enforcement official has reasonable cause to believe that there exists any sign or a condition that makes such sign unsafe, abandoned, illegal or nonconforming, the enforcement official may petition the court to enter the lot, building, or premises on which such sign is located at all reasonable times to inspect the sign or to perform any duty imposed by this chapter.

Council Agenda Report
From: Warren Frace, Community Development Director
Piper Smith, Assistant Planner
Subject: Appeal of the Planning Commission’s Decision to Approve an Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit 00-020 and Planned Development 00-023 for the Ravine Water Park at 2301 Airport Road (AMD25-02/P25-0124)
CEQA Determination: On February 10, 2026, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and Planned development for the Ravine Water Park pursuant to a finding of consistency with 2004 adopted Ravine Water Park Initial Study and Mitigated Negative (“IS/MND”) Declaration. Staff is recommending that the City Council find that, in addition to compliance with the IS/MND, the Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development for the Ravine Water Park also qualifies for a categorical exemption from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines sections 15301, 15303 and 15311.

Date: April 7, 2026
Facts

1. The Ravine Water Park is a medium-sized water park that offers water features, pools, slides, concessions and other attractions to the public during the summer months.

2. The water park is located near State Route 46 East and Airport Road.

3. On April 6, 2004, City Council approved, amongst other things, development entitlements for the water park. Construction began in 2005 and the park officially opened in 2007.

4. In 2016 and 2021, additional waterslides and amenities were added, which now represents the existing site conditions.

5. The Ravine Water Park LLC has applied for an amendment to the original 2004 development plan to allow construction of a new 1879± square foot “no splash” pool and 153± square foot hot tub with a surround concrete deck and seating area within a pre-disturbed area of the site (AMD25-02/P25- 0124).

6. On January 12, 2026, the amendment was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC).

7. On February 10, 2026, the Planning Commission approved Resolution PC 22-017 to approve the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 00-020.

8. Ranch and Coast Properties, represented by John Erskine, Attorney at Law, Nossaman LLP filed appeal (APL26-01/P26-022) to request the City Council overturn the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the project (Attachment No. 2).

9. The appellant has cited eight justifications: incorrect and incomplete project description; offsite improvements were not required; drainage conflicts with Resolution 04-042 Mitigated Negative Declaration; updated traffic study must be required and impacts evaluated in a current EIR; addition of kiddie pool with sides and Quadzilla/ThunderRun slide; Airport Flight Zone 3 compatibility not addressed; unpermitted buildings are shown on site plan that are within 100 ft of the Huer Huero River; and parking and park access off Paso Robels Boulevard not addressed.

10. A hearing for the appeal was scheduled and duly noticed for the April 7, 2026 City Council meeting.

Community Outreach
Both the Planning Commission and City Council hearings were properly noticed as required by Paso Robles Municipal Code Section 21.15.050.

Options

1. Deny the appeal and sustain the Planning Commission’s decision by approving Resolution 26-XXX(A), approving amendment (AMD25-02/P25-0124) to Conditional Use Permit 00-020 and Planned Development 00-023 for the Ravine Water Park;

2. Deny the appeal and sustain the Planning Commission’s decision with additional Conditions of Approval to be incorporated into Resolution 26-XXX(A), approving amendment (AMD25-02/P25- 0124) to Conditional Use Permit 00-020 and Planned Development 00-023 for the Ravine Water Park;

3. Grant the appeal and overturn the Planning Commission’s approval of the project by approving Resolution 26-XXX(B) with City Council finding of denial; or

4. Provide alternative direction to staff
Analysis and Conclusions
Project Summary
The Planning Commission reviewed and approved an amendment to the Ravine Water Park site (CUP 00- 020/PD 00-023), to add an 1879± square foot “no splash” pool and 153± square foot hot tub with a surround concrete deck and seating area. The applicant described the “no splash” pool project as an amenity for adults who are already at the Water Park with their children.

Appeal
The appellant has appealed the decision of the Planning Commission to approve the AMD25-02, citing eight justifications (see Attachment 3, Appellants’ Statement of Appeal Items and Exhibits).

1. Incorrect and incomplete project description

2. Offsite improvements were not required

3. Drainage conflicts with Resolution 04-042 Mitigated Negative Declaration

4. Updated traffic study must be required and impacts evaluated in a current EIR

5. Addition of kiddie pool with sides and Quadzilla/ThunderRun slide Location of proposed “no splash” pool
and hot tub

6. Airport Flight Zone 3 compatibility not addressed

7. Unpermitted buildings are shown on site plan that are within 100 ft of the Huer Huero River

8. Parking and park access off Paso Robels Boulevard not addressed Staff has reviewed the appeal and has provided the following analysis of the issues raised by the appellant:

1. Incorrect and incomplete project description:

The project description in the Planning Commission staff report referred to two different sizes of the project area. Because Huer Huero Creek runs through the property, there is a significant difference between the gross, net and developed area of the property. The official net area of the site is 16.16 acres, including Huer Huero Creek. The developed site area, excluding Huer Huero Creek, is approximately 9.0± acres and was referenced in the Planning Commission staff report.

This discrepancy does not affect the overall project design or intensity but may have created confusion. The correct, gross size of the lot is 16.16 acres as recorded in parcel map PRAL13-0095 (Attachment 4). The findings in the City Council resolution have been revised to correctly reference the net size of the subject parcel as 16.16 acres. The proposed “no splash” pool project is located within the currently developed Water Park area.

2. Offsite improvements were not required:

The project is the construction of a “no splash” pool in a previously developed part of the water park site. The applicant’s position is the “no splash” pool is not a new attraction that will generate additional trips to the water park; but rather an amenity for adults who are already at the Water Park with their children. Staff reviewed this position and determined that any increase in vehicle trips generated by the “no splash” pool are so minor that they do not trigger the need to prepare new Traffic Impact Study nor do they relate to existing off-site roadway conditions or any need for improvements.

The “no splash” pool is a commercial structure, and the water park is required to pay the City’s Transportation Impact Fee. The Transportation Impact Fee funds City wide traffic improvement including planned grade separated crossing of State Route 46 within the vicinity of Airport Road.

3. Drainage conflicts with Resolution 04-042 Mitigated Negative Declaration:

The Huer Huero Creek outfall system includes two storm drain lines permitted and approved by the City in 2005: a new 12-inch “southern line” and an existing 15-inch “northern line.” Subsequent field observations by City staff in 2026 indicate that the southerly 12-inch connection to the creek has been blocked, and that flows from this line are currently routed north to connect with the existing 15-inch system prior to discharge.

Recently the City investigated the existing storm drain outlet pipe (appellants Attachment 3, Exhibit D) and found that there was no illicit discharge occurring in conformance with the Regional Water Quality Control Board’s permit requirements. Stormwater directly related to the

project site is conditioned to comply with all stormwater quality requirements of the City of Paso Robles and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. (Attachment 2, Exhibit g: Site Specific Conditions)
Appellants’ Attachment 3, Exhibit D – appears to be Southern Storm Drain outlet “Southern” 12-inch storm drain line – installed in 2005

“Northern” 15-inch storm drain line – existing in 2005
Parking lot detention basin and storm drain outlet – installed 2005 The proposed project has been conditioned to eliminate any new connections to Huer Huero Creek, unless otherwise approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and provide stormwater management via infiltration on-site in accordance with applicable regulations and best management practices. While portions of the site include new impervious surfaces, the design is conditioned to provide stormwater management intended to capture, treat, and infiltrate runoff generated from the new impervious area.

The appellant has also raised concerns about a third drainage pipe that is discharging parking lot stormwater onto Airport Road and causing erosion. The 2005 building plans reflect the approval of a 1700 cubic foot detention basin with storm drainage outlet pipes along Airport Road.

Portions located within the City right-of-way are maintained by the City of Paso Robles, and the City has directed that maintenance activities in this area be coordinated through the City.

4. Updated traffic study must be required and impacts evaluated in a current EIR:

The project is the construction of a “no splash” pool in a previously developed part of the Water Park site. The applicant’s position is the “no splash” pool is not a new attraction that would Storm drain basin appears to be filled
with silt, outlet pipes are missing rip-rap
dissipaters and causing erosion.

generate additional trips to the Water Park, but rather an amenity for adults who are already at the Water Park with their children. Staff reviewed this position and determined that any increase in vehicle trips generated by the “no splash” pool warren is minor and does not trigger a new Traffic Impact Study or the need for preparation of supplemental CEQA documents. The “no splash” pool is a commercial structure and is required to pay the City’s Transportation Impact Fee.

The Transportation Impact Fee funds City wide traffic improvement including a future grade separated crossing of State Route 46 within the vicinity of Airport Road.

5. Addition of kiddie pool with sides and Quadzilla/ThunderRun slide:

The Kiddie Pool and Quadzilla/ThunderRun slides are existing facilities that have been previously permitted by the City. The City has recently issued a building permit (B26-0033) for the Kiddie Pool renovation. The slides and dump bucket type features within the Kiddie Pool are being removed and replaced with new water play structures of a similar nature. The overall size of the Kiddie Pool does not change, and the structure is located within the Kiddie Pool reflected on the approved 2004 site plan. The City permitted the construction of the Quadzilla/ThunderRun slides in 2014 (B14-0063).

6. Airport Flight Zone 3 compatibility not addressed:

The original project application was submitted in 2000 and was subject to the Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP) that was in effect at that time. The 2004 resolutions of approval and Conditions of Approval do not mention the ALUP or any population density restrictions. The City issued building permit for the water park construction in 2007 which required staff to determine the permits were consistent with the Conditions of Approval.

Kiddie Pool and Slides are part of 2004
project approval and were permitted for
construction in 2005 (B05-0926) and
considered an existing facility

The current 2015 Airport Land Use Plan (Section 2.7.1) states “The ALUP applies only to new development within the Planning Area, and the ALUC has no authority over existing land use, whether or not such uses are compatible with the ALUP”. The “no splash” pool is not a new attraction that will generate additional visitors to the water park, but rather an amenity for adults who are already at the water park with their children. Therefore the “no splash” pool would not increase the population density of the existing facility and require a new ALUP density analysis.

7. Unpermitted buildings are shown on site plan that are within 100 ft of the Huer Huero River:

The Initial Study prepared for the Mitigated Negative Declaration (Resolution 04-042) discusses there were no buildings located within 100 feet of the Huer Huro Creek but does not state buildings within 100 feet would be prohibited. Furthermore, there are no Conditions of Approvals or a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program that adopted a 100 ft setback requirement or formal Mitigation Measure.

In 2005, City staff reviewed and approved building permit B05-0926 consistent with the development plan and mitigated negative declaration, which required City staff to determine that the plans were consistent with the project approvals. The buildings along the Huer Huero Creek that are mentioned in the appeal (Attachment 3 – Exhibit H) are all shown on the 2005 building permit plans and are now considered existing facilities.

Appellant’s Exhibit H

8. Parking and park access off Paso Robels Boulevard not addressed:

A Temporary Use Permit was issued in 2007 to permit a temporary parking lot accessed off Paso Robles Blvd. The Temporary Use Permit became null and void following the construction of the water park off-site parking lot located at Union Road. In addition, since the amendment public hearing on February 10, 2026, the applicant has removed all remnant parking structures associated with the Temporary Use Permit. There is existing signage to discourage the public from utilizing the unpermitted parking space. The proposed project including using Paso Robles Boulevard access.

In addition to staff’s findings, the applicant’s representative, Kirk Consulting, on behalf of the Ravine Water Park, has prepared a response to the appeal (Attachment No. 5: Ravine Waterpark CUP Amendment (P25-0124/AMD 25-02) – Response to Appeal) to address each of the appellants concerns.

Staff was provided with the response on March 23, 2026 and has attached it here within to be part of the public record and City Council’s review.

Conclusion
The majority of the issues raised by the appellant pertain to existing site conditions and ongoing maintenance matters, rather than impacts directly attributable to the proposed project. Accordingly, these issues do not rise to a level that would warrant denial of the project. Instead, they may be appropriately addressed through the imposition of additional Conditions of Approval, including measures to address the parking concerns along Paso Robles Boulevard and the erosion issues along Airport Road.

Most of the issues raised by the appellant are related to existing conditions and maintenance issues unrelated to the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development and do not present 2005 building permit (B05-0926)

substantial evidence that the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development could have a potentially significant impact on the environment.

Fiscal Impact
There are no significant fiscal impacts associated to this entitlement.

CEQA
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), on April 13, 2004, the Planning Commission adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) (Planning Commission Resolution 04-042) in support of the approval of CUP00-020 and PD00-023 regarding the Ravine Water Park Project. The IS/MND analyzed the potential impacts associated with the development of a water park within a 9-acre portion of the 15-acre site and imposed mitigation measures related to Oak Tree Protection, San Joaquin Kit Fox Protection, Air Pollution Control District Mitigation Measures.

The Planning Commission determined that the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development to construct a new recreation pool area within the 9-acre pre-disturbed area would not increase the environmental impact beyond what was previously analyzed in the IS/MND. Further the previously adopted mitigation measures will continue to remain in effect with regard to the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development. The Planning Commission further found that no substantial changes to the Ravine Water Park or to the circumstances under which Ravine Water Park was undertaken are proposed, and there are no new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects under the existing IS/MND. The Planning Commission found the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Amended Planned Development are consistent with the adopted IS/MND and do not require additional review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15162.

Further, In addition to consistency with the MND, staff recommends the City Council determine the project qualifies for multiple categorical exemptions from CEQA:
 Class 1—Existing Facilities (CEQA Guidelines § 15301) The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development would repurpose existing facilities within the Ravine Waterpark and fits within the outlined expansions of section 15301(e). Specifically: (1) the total area that will be modified is less than 10,000 square feet; (2) there are existing public services, including City water service, that will continue to serve the Waterpark and the Project; (3) there are no environmentally sensitive areas within the disturbed lawn and concrete areas; and, (4) the Project will not increase the capacity of the existing Ravine Waterpark.
 Class 3—New Construction of Small Structures (CEQA Guidelines Section 15303) The Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development would develop a pool and small accessory facilities, such as the cabanas. This type of project is explicitly described as an example of something that fits within the Class 3 categorical exemption.  Class 11—Accessory Minor Structures (CEQA Guidelines Section 15311) The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development includes features located in an area that is currently utilized by Waterpark guests. The Project is limited to repurposing an existing use area with minor accessory structures. Although pools and associated structures are not explicitly referenced in the exception, the use of the categorical exemption is

not limited to those examples. Furthermore, a pool with associated hardscape includes analogous levels of development to a small parking lot, which is listed as an example of a Class 11 categorical exemption. (See CEQA Guidelines § 15311(b).)
Further none of the exceptions to exemptions outlined in CEQA Guidelines section 15003.2 apply to the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development. .
 There are no applicable location exemptions. The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development is not located on “an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern” that has been designated, mapped, and adopted by any agencies as it is located on an existing developed site that is currently improved with turf, decompressed granite, concrete walkways, and shade covers.
 There are no anticipated cumulative impacts from the work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development of the same type in the same area over time. (CEQA Guidelines § 15003.2(b).)
 There is no “reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.” (CEQA Guidelines § 15003.2(c).) “Unusual circumstances” are those that show the project has some feature that distinguishes it from others in the exempt class, such as its size of location. (Citizens for Environmental Responsibility v. State ex. Rel. 14th Dist. Ag. Assn. (2015) 242 Cal.App.4th 555, 576.) In assessing whether the work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development raises unusual circumstances, it is compared to other normal operations at the Ravine Waterpark. (Id. at 576- 588 [event at fairground was not an unusual circumstance when considered in light of other activities at fairground].)
First, there is nothing unusual about the work relative to projects typically included in the Class 1, 3, and 11 categorical exemptions, particularly in light of the existing facilities at the Ravine Waterpark, where swimming pools and cabanas already exist. This type of repurposing of an approved use area of an existing facility is explicitly called out by the Class 1 categorical exemption, and the Project is squarely within the parameters of that use. Similarly, pools are a listed example of accessory structures under the Class 3 categorical exemption. And, in consideration of the other categories of construction of small structures listed in Class 3 such as single-family residences, multi-family residences, stores, motels, and restaurants, a small pool with accessory facilities is not unusual. Finally, related to the Class 11 categorical exemption, there is nothing to indicate something unusual about work’s characterization as a minor renovation of an existing commercial and recreational use area within an approved facility.

Second, even if there was an unusual circumstance surrounding the work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development, there is no evidence that the work will result in any potentially significant impacts of any kind, let alone a significant impact that is a direct result of some unusual circumstance. The work will occur within an already developed waterpark which is an already disturbed area and there are no anticipated changes from existing baseline activity levels.
 The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development will not impact resources within a scenic highway, as Highway 46 is not a State designated Scenic Highway and the Project will not impact scenic views, as it is solely repurposing of an existing developed area. (CEQA Guidelines § 15003.2(d).)

 The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development is not located on a property included on any lists for hazard wastes sites. (CEQA Guidelines § 15003.2(e).)
 The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as there are no historical resources within the footprint of the work. (CEQA Guidelines § 15003.2(f).) Therefore, no exceptions to categorical exemption apply, and it is appropriate for the City to find the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301, 15303 and 15311.

Recommendation (Option 2)
While the Appellant raises issues primarily related to existing conditions and maintenance issues unrelated to the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development, which do not present substantial evidence that the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development could have a potentially significant impact on the environment, the City Council may wish to consider imposing additional Conditions of Approval as a good faith gesture to ensure the harmonious future operation of the Ravine Water Park.

Staff recommends the City Council deny the appeal and sustain the Planning Commission’s decision with additional Conditions of Approval to be incorporated into Resolution 26-XXX(A), approving the amendment to Conditional Use Permit 00-020 and Planned Development 00-023 for the Ravine Water Park, with the addition of the following conditions of approval that must be implemented prior to final approval of building permits:

1. Require the existing detention basin to be regraded to hold 1700 cubic feet of stormwater. The condition should also require the installation of a metered outflow and a secondary overflow, consistent with the original construction plans. The Water Park operation could be required to repair downstream erosion and restore the roadway shoulder caused by unregulated stormwater flow to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

2. Prohibit the Ravine Water Park from using Paso Robles Boulevard for employee or visitor parking or for access to the Water Park.

3. To the extent permitted by law the applicant shall by accepting these conditions agree to defend (with legal counsel of City’s selection), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its elected and appointed officials, agents, attorneys, employees and officers, from any action, claim or proceeding brought by any party other than the applicant against the City or its elected and appointed officials, agents, employees and officers to attack, set aside, void, or annul a discretionary land use approval of the City, including but not limited to the approval of this CUP, Planned Development or associated CEQA action, which action is brought within the applicable statute of limitations. The required indemnification shall include damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action. The City shall promptly notify the

applicant of any such claim, action, or proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense.
