“Our goal is to not just make great dancers but to make great people,” said Willis, who is looking for a new location for the studio.

The motion passed unani- mously with the four council members who were in attendance.

The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 6 p.m.

It is already an approved project that is already under construction. Parts of the project are already completed, and he added that whether or not the map got approved, the property is going to continue being built.

But, she is grateful for the dance community that stepped up to help them with the flooding.

Willis is hoping to find a new studio space in or as close to Templeton as ily residential cottages,” added Dunsmore.

The primary revision to the new tentative map is that the apartment building in the back will now be an ownership product instead of a rental property.

During Public Comment, Paula Ramsum, a resident adjacent to the project, stated that her private residence sustained severe flood damage on Jan. 27, 2021.

“There’s a big problem with drainage, and I really think that this should be accessed at this time,” Ramsum said.

The next item on the agenda was the Barrel Creek Planned Development, which was continued from the Jan. 17 meeting.

Senior Planner Kelly Gleason gave the presentation. She stated that what was decided at the meeting would not be the final action on the project and that the next step is for the project to be presented to City Council for final action.

After the last meeting, there were a few amendments made to the proposed project in response to feedback from the community. The Planning Commission adopted the draft resolution that the city council adopts the Barrel Creek Project as Conditioned and Subject to Mitigation and Monitoring, including staff’s recommendations. The vote to approve was unanimous, and the Barrel Creek Project will come before City Council on their Feb. 28 meeting.

The next Atascadero Planning Commission meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 6 p.m.
