Votes at a glance: Atascadero Planning Commission (May 19, 2026)
Summary
On May 19 the Atascadero Planning Commission approved the consent calendar (with a corrected minute) 5-0 and approved CUP 26-0022 for Barnyard Preschool 4-0 (Vice Chair Pinacio recused). Staff noted the general plan EIR circulation and a Chick‑fil‑A building permit application.
At the May 19 Atascadero City Planning Commission meeting the body recorded two formal actions of note:
• Consent calendar approved (5-0). Commissioners approved the consent calendar with a correction to the draft minutes: the prior motion for item g.1 should read "motion passed 4 to 1." Commissioner Farrell moved to approve the consent calendar with the amendment; Commissioner King seconded. Roll call vote was 5-0.
• Conditional use permit 26-0022 approved for Barnyard Preschool (4-0, 1 recusal). A commissioner moved to adopt the draft resolution approving CUP 26-0022 to allow a preschool with a parking and sign design exception at 8935 Amapoa Avenue (APN 031-301-024); Commissioner Farrell seconded. Vice Chair Pinacio recused himself before discussion and left the room. The commission approved the permit on a 4-0 vote with conditions addressing pick-up/drop-off circulation and staff oversight during peak times.
Other notes: the director reported the general plan EIR has been circulated and will be taken to City Council for public comment next Tuesday; staff invited the public to "coffee with a planner" this Thursday (topic: accessory dwelling units and SB 9). Staff also said a formal building permit application for Chick‑fil‑A had been received and is moving forward.
The commission adjourned to its next regular meeting on June 2.
