Dear Alice Jo Meinhold Survivors Trust:
On April 21, 2020, I reviewed the initial study prepared to evaluate your project's potential
significant effects on the environment. I found that although the initial study identified that the
proposed project could have potentially significant effects, there will not be a significant effect in
this case because of the mitigation measures either incorporated into the project or developed
during our environmental analysis of your project which will either avoid or mitigate the effects
to a point where they are no longer significant. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact will be prepared. A copy of the initial study, which was the basis for my
determination, is attached for your review.
State law requires that the applicant agree to project mitigation measures prior to your project
being scheduled for action by a City decision-making body. I have enclosed an Applicant
Acceptance of Mitigation Measures agreement for your review and signature. The agreement lists
the recommended mitigation measures as well as provides a signature block to indicate your
acceptance. It is recommended that you sign and return the attached agreement as soon as possible
in order to avoid project-processing delays.
A Notice of our intention to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared and a public
hearing on the environmental document and the project will be scheduled before a decision-making
body. The decision-making body may reverse my decision to prepare a Mitigated Negative
Declaration or may add or delete mitigation measures based on their review of the project and
public comment received at the public hearing.
As part of the environmental review process, it has been determined that this project is subject to
Section 711.4 of the California Fish and Game Code which establishes a Fish and Game filing fee
for the processing of environmental documents subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act. The fees are intended to defray the costs incurred by the California Department of Fish and
Game in managing and protecting fish and wildlife trust resources. Because it has been determined
that your project is subject to Fish and Game fees, you will need to pay an additional fee of
2,480.25 (plus $50 for the County of SLO filing fee) prior to the project going before the hearing
body. Please make your check for $2,530.25 payable to the County of San Luis Obispo Clerk-
Recorder. The fees are paid to the State of California by the County of San Luis Obispo at the
time the Notice of Determination if filed.
If you have any questions, please contact Kyle Van Leeuwen, Associate Planner at 781-7091.
Sincerely,
Shawna Scott
