DETERMINING GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE FOR THE
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1106 WALNUT FOR CITY
GOVERNMENT OFFICES THAT IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA PER SECTION
15061(B)(3) THE GENERAL RULE AS REPRESENTED IN THE
PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT AND ATTACHMENTS
DATED APRIL 12, 2023 (1106 WALNUT FILE #GENP-0144-2023)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a
public meeting in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo,
California, on April 12, 2023, for the purpose of reviewing the acquisition of property for
City Government Offices for General Plan Conformity as required by California
Government Code Section 65402 (GENP-0144-2023); and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the
manner required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has duly considered all evidence and
recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City
of San Luis Obispo as follows:
Section 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Commission makes the
following findings:
1. The acquisition of property for City Governmental Offices will not harm the general
health, safety, and welfare of people living or working in the vicinity because the
proposed project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element and the
Zoning Regulations.
Section 2. Environmental Review. Section 15061(b)(3) states a project is exempt
from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects
which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The
determination of general plan conformity for the acquisition of land for government office
use by the City of San Luis Obispo is not subject to CEQA because the project will not
have a significant effect on the environment since it is a policy review of whether acquiring
land conforms with the General Plan. Any future development related to the proposed
property will be subject to environmental review as required under CEQA.
