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 incorporated: 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.
