Atascadero Municipal Code § 11-6.01 General considerations

The layout of streets and lots within a subdivision shall be consistent with the densities and types of uses authorized by the General Plan, specific plans and zoning ordinance. The subdivision design shall also recognize the physical conditions of the site, such as slope, soil types, and adjacent land use, which may further limit uses of the property. The subdivider must simultaneously consider such factors as terrain, development objectives, and options available under these regulations in order to design a subdivision which best meets the needs of those who will occupy it as well as the community as a whole.
