Mitigated Negative Declaration
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY AND INTENT TO ADOPT
A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
For 163 Serrano Heights Drive Tentative Parcel Map
(City File SBDV-2029-2018 & EID-0100-2020)
The City of San Luis Obispo has completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(IS/MND) for the subdivision proposed by John Rourke (applicant). The IS/MND found the
following environmental factors to be less than significant with mitigation inc orporated: Air
Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources,
Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire. The project’s primary location is 163 Serrano
Heights Drive (APN 052-061-04), San Luis Obispo, CA.
Based on a search of the California Department of Toxic Substance Control’s EnviroStar
database, the State Water Resources Control Board’s Geotracker database, and CalEPA’s
Cortese List website, there are no hazardous waste cleanup sites within the project site.
The project is a request for a subdivision of one existing parcel totaling 0.978 acre into three
individual parcels meant to facilitate residential development on land in the R -1 (Low Density
Residential) zone. The new parcels would range in size from 0.225 acre to 0.418 acre, and
would be located at 163 Serrano Heights Drive, at the western edge of the city limits. Access
improvements would include a proposed 20-foot-wide access road across Proposed Parcel
1 and Proposed Parcel 2, a 12-foot-wide driveway across a portion of Proposed Parcel 2
for access to Proposed Parcel 3, and improvements to Serrano Heights Drive located in an
existing 60-foot-wide access easement. While no specific development proposal has been
identified for the site, based on the underlying zoning and proposed parcel sizes, this
analysis assumes that future development would consist of residential development.
