City of San Luis Obispo
Council Agenda Correspondence
DATE: April 16, 2024
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Timmi Tway, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Callie Taylor, Associate Planner
VIA: Derek Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: ITEM 6C – 2024 ANNUAL MONITORING FOR THE SAN LUIS RANCH
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, MITIGATION MEASURES, AND
PROJECT CONDITIONS
The following memorandum provides City staff responses to questions received from a
Council member regarding the San Luis Ranch annual monitoring report. Staff
determined it would be helpful to provide this memo to all Council Members and the
public, as the responses offer clarification regarding the annual review. The questions
are below with staff’s response shown in italics.
In addition, it has come to City staff’s attention that the agenda links for Item 6c for
Attachments A, B, and C (Summary of Compliance with the San Luis Ranch Development
Agreement, MMRP, and Project Conditions) are not linking to the correct documents. The
correct attachments for the San Luis Ranch Summary of Compliance are provided with
this agenda correspondence.
1. With significant numbers of mitigation measures particularly concerning
habitat outstanding, what is the timeline for ensuring compliance? If the
developer fails to present an annual report in future years, is there a standard
procedure for encouraging compliance?
Through the annual review completed in recent months, City staff has identified the
outstanding compliance items listed in the report. In meetings and correspondence
with the developer, City staff has encouraged the developer to address outstanding
items to bring the project into compliance, including submittal of the annual habitat
monitoring reports and replanting compliance. The City’s next step will be to send an
official letter to the developer, identifying items that are out of compliance, a deadline
for compliance, and penalties for non-compliance. City staff and the City Attorney will
be working on this compliance letter after Council review of the reports on April 16.
It should be noted that the City holds several project bonds, including bonds
specifically for habitat restoration. If the developer fails to submit the required annual
monitoring reports or fails to complete the habitat restoration in compliance with the
EIR, DA, and project conditions, the City can pull the bonds and use those funds to
complete the work.

2. The developer is required to provide a bike share program but there is not a
mention of their progress on this requirement. Do we know that status of the
bike share?
A Travel Demand Management Plan (TDMP) was developed for the project in October
2021. The mitigation measure and the TDMP have requirements for both residential
and non-residential portions of the project. So far, San Luis Ranch has only
implemented the residential trip reduction strategies, which include providing bus
passes and $100 gift cards to local bike shops for residents. Development of Lots 7,
8, and 9 (the office, commercial, and hotel sites) will require bike share to be provided,
as well as on-site bike lockers, showers, and bicycle repair station.
3. On page 105, there’s mention of the possibility of up to 7 million in grant funding
to the city, some of which would go towards subsidizing the moderate rate units
in SLR. Did the city receive that funding? If so, how much went to SLR?
SLR Development Agreement Operating Memorandum #2 discusses grant funding for
which the City was hoping to apply in 2021. Affordable housing grants at that time
were possible if the project could provide 15% affordable housing. San Luis Ranch
did not reach this percentage of affordable housing, and the City did not receive the
grant funds at that time.

SUBJECT: 2024 ANNUAL MONITORING FOR THE SAN LUIS RANCH
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, MITIGATION MEASURES, AND
PROJECT CONDITIONS
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the 2024 annual monitoring report for the San Luis Ranch Development
Agreement, mitigation measures, and required project conditions.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
On July 18, 2017, the City Council approved the San Luis Ranch project, including the
San Luis Ranch Specific Plan and Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 3096, which
covers the entire plan area. On July 17, 2018, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) was amended to address minor changes to the phasing of certain
transportation improvements. A Development Agreement (DA) for the project between
the City and MI San Luis Ranch, LLC, was approved by City Council on August 21, 2018.
On April 16, 2019, the City Council adopted a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District
(CFD), pursuant to the DA (Ordinance No. 1661).
Both the DA and MMRP require annual monitoring and reporting of activities per Articles
10 and 11 of the DA in order to determine whether the project is in compliance with all
relevant aspects of the DA itself, as well as the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)
mitigation measures. The DA includes a variety of provisions related to the timing of
development, construction of public infrastructure, payment of fees, and in certain
instances reimbursement beyond the project’s fair share for public improvements that
have citywide benefits. The CFD annual tax report is typically prepared at the end of each
fiscal year to coincide with the Citywide annual budget and is therefore not included in
this report. The CFD annual tax report was last completed and presented to Council on
August 15, 2023.
This report addresses activities that have taken place during 2023 through the end of
February 2024, and whether those activities are in substantial compliance with the DA,
applicable project conditions, and FEIR mitigation measures. Generally speaking, the
Page 21 of 328
Item 6c
bulk of public improvements were completed prior to 2023, both onsite and offsite, which
prior to their installation were reviewed and approved by the City’s Public Works,
Engineering, and/or Utilities departments as appropriate. Some minor follow-ups on
these items were completed in 2023.
Substantial housing development has occurred in San Luis Ranch, the design of which
was reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission prior to 2022. In all, 577 units
were approved through the development review process prior to 2022, and many of these
have either been completed or are currently under construction. 206 single -family and
202 multi-family units have been completed since project inception. Of these, 65 single-
family and 96 multi-family units were completed in the past year through February 2024.
An additional 46 single-family and 94 multi-family units are currently under construction.
When these are completed, only 29 units will remain to be built to reach the 577 total units
approved to date. The developer estimates that the multi -family portion of the project will
be complete by summer 2024, and the single-family residential units will be complete by
the end of 2024. Construction on the 64 to 77 affordable housing units on the Lot 7 mixed
use site has not yet begun.
As outlined in the report below, the project is in compliance with most applicable
provisions of the DA, as well as most relevant FEIR mitigation measures and project
conditions. However, further action is needed to bring the project into compliance with
several required mitigation measures, Devlopment Agreement provisions, and/or project
conditions. City staff will continue to work with the Developer to ensure co mpliance
moving forward. Continued non-compliance or lack of action toward compliance may
result in actions being taken by the City to encourage compliance of these required
conditions and mitigation measures. Due to the ongoing nature of the project, certain
aspects are subject to continual monitoring as development occurs. Given that the main
residential project components are nearing completion, this report is intended to provide
a final punch list of remaining DA provisions, mitigation measures, and conditions that
need to be addressed for compliance upon project completion.
POLICY CONTEXT
The approved San Luis Ranch project was found to be consistent with the General Plan
at the time of its approval. This report focuses on determining whether the multi -phase
project is in compliance with key provisions related to its approval, notably a Development
Agreement, required mitigation measures, and project conditions of approval.
Compliance with these provisions is discussed in the body of this report. Both the DA and
MMRP require annual monitoring and reporting of activities per Articles 10 and 11 of the
DA in order to determine whether the project is in compliance with all relevant aspects of
the DA itself, as well as the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) mitigation
measures. This annual report is prepared for compliance with those monitoring and
reporting requirements. A Community Facilities District for San Luis Ranch has been
established to provide funding for infrastructure. The CFD annual report is prepared at
the end of each fiscal year to coincide with the Citywide annual budget and is therefore
not included in this report.

DISCUSSION
Background
On July 18, 2017, the City Council approved the San Luis Ranch project and certified
the Final EIR and MMRP. On August 21, 2018, the City Council approved the
Development Agreement between the City and MI San Luis Ranch, LLC. In addition, the
MMRP was amended at that time to address minor changes to the phasing of certain
required transportation improvements. Both the DA and MMRP require annual
monitoring and reporting of activities per Articles 10 and 11 of the DA.
The following discusses what aspects of the project were in progress or completed in
2023 through February 2024, and thus the focus of this report. It also provides additional
context, with a brief encapsulation of the activities that occurred before 2023, and
highlights activities that are anticipated in 2024 and beyond. The San Luis Ranch project
site is shown on Figure 1.

Item 6c
Project Activities Prior to 2023
The following project-related activities occurred prior to 2023:
A. Specific Plan, VTTM 3096, and Final EIR Approval. The SLRSP was adopted by
the City Council in July 2017. VTTM 3096, which covers the entire Specific Plan
area, was adopted at the same time as the SLRSP . A Final Environmental Impact
Report (“FEIR”) was prepared analyzing the environmental effects of the proposed
development, and the City Council certified the FEIR for the project, including
adopting CEQA findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan.
B. Specific Plan Amendment and Final Supplemental EIR. On July 17, 2018, the City
Council approved a Specific Plan Amendment for the project and adopted a
resolution certifying Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (“FSEIR”)
for the revised project, which was prepared analyzing the environmental effects of
a revised development project with modified phasing, and the City Council adopted
CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations and an updated
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan.
C. Development Agreement Approval. The Development Agreement for the San Luis
Ranch project was introduced on July 17, 2018, adopted by the City Council on
August 21, 2018, and recorded on September 18, 2018. The DA has not been
formally amended since its adoption. However, pursuant to Section 9.03 and 9.04
of the DA, two operating memoranda and two Administrative Amendments were
executed by the City Manager and Community Development Director prior to 2023
that clarified certain aspects of implementing the project. These documents are
provided as Attachments F, G, I, and J to this report. Consistent with Articles 10
and 11 of the DA, a report documenting compliance with the DA must occur on an
annual basis.
D. CFD Formation. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Development Agreement, a
Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) was established and approved by
the City Council in February 2019 and formally adopted on April 16, 2019
(Ordinance No. 1661). The CFD also requires an annual report, but this is typically
prepared at the end of each fiscal year to coincide with the Citywide budget and is
therefore not included in this report.
E. NG-10 (Single Family Residential). The Specific Plan includes up to 198 traditional
single-family 40-foot wide, 3,200 square foot lots. Grading was completed for this
21.5-acre portion of the SLRSP in 2021. Key roadway infrastructure, including the
extension of Froom Ranch Way, was completed. In 2022, all internal roadways
and backbone utilities were completed, and 71 residential units were completed
and occupied, plus construction of the model homes. An additional 34 units were
under construction prior to 2023.
Page 24 of 328
Item 6c
F. NG-23 (Medium Density Residential). The Specific Plan includes up to 83 single-
family 30-foot wide, 2,400 to 3,000 square foot lots. Grading was completed for
this 7.3-acre portion of the SLRSP site in 2021. In 2022, all internal roadways and
backbone utilities were completed, and 70 residential units were completed, with
the remaining 13 units under construction prior to 2023.
G. NG-30 (Multi-Family Residential). The City Council approved Vesting Tentative
Tract Map (VTTM) 3150 (which covers this portion of the SLRSP) on April 7, 2020.
The Final Map was approved on October 6, 2020. VTTM 3150 is 10.6-acre portion
of previously approved VTTM 3096, which further subdivided the multi-family
development for 296 condominium lots to be constructed as a variety of unit types
with townhomes, stacked flats, and efficiency units. Although the site was graded,
no housing development occurred until 2022, when 106 units were completed, with
another 92 under construction prior to 2023.
H. NC (Hotel Project). The Planning Commission approved a Development Plan for
a 200-room dual brand hotel on a 3.41-acre site within the NC zone, July 22, 2020.
I. NC (Commercial Mixed Use Project). Lot 7 under the originally approved VTTM
3096 and Specific Plan was approved for 150,000 square feet of commercial
development intended to serve neighborhood residents as well as visitors. On
November 17, 2020, the City Council approved a Specific Plan Amendment and
VTTM 3142, which would accommodate up to 114,300 SF of commercial and 77
affordable housing units on 11 lots within the subdivision. No development has
occurred on that site. Please refer to the discussion of the affordable housing
requirements of the Development Agreement unde r the Project Compliance
section of this report for further discussion.
J. Ag Heritage Center. The Planning Commission approved the design for the
Agricultural Heritage and Learning Center portion of the project on October 27,
2021. The 53-acre AG-zoned portion of the Specific Plan includes 31,236 square
feet of commercial buildings, including retail, restaurant, a market, and agricultural
processing uses. Building permits for the four new shell buildings were issued in
September 2022. Historic buildings we re moved to the site, and some activity
related to their rehabilitation was begun prior to 2023.
K. Public Improvements. Public Improvement Plans (PIPs) were approved for onsite
improvements associated with VTTM 3096, and these were underway prior to
2022, including the extension of backbone roadways and utilities through the site.
This included the extension of Dalidio Drive and Froom Ranch Way. PIPs were
also approved for offsite improvements associated with Froom Ranch Way west
of the site to its intersection with Los Osos Valley Road, and this roadway was
completed. Nearly all major onsite and offsite public improvements, including
backbone roadways and utilities were completed in 2022. This also includes the
central park within the single-family portion of the Specific Plan area. The Prado
Road interchange project was still under review, and no grading or construction
activities related to this project had begun.

Item 6c
Development and Related Activities in 2023 through February 2024
The following development-related activities took place since the time of the previous
annual report related to the DA, MMRP, and Project Conditions, from March 2023 through
February 2024:
A. NG-10 (Single Family Residential). In 2022, all internal roadways and backbone
utilities were completed, and 71 residential units were completed and occupied,
plus construction of the model homes. An additional 52 units were completed in
2023 and through March 4, 2024, with 46 units currently under construction. There
are 29 remaining single-family units that have not yet begun construction.
Completion of the single-family units is expected in December 2024, for a total of
198 NG-10 units in this area.
B. NG-23 (Medium Density Residential). All internal roadways and backbone utilities
were completed in 2022, along with 70 residential units. The final 13 units within
this development were completed in 2023. This portion of the Specific Plan has
been fully built out, with a total of 83 NG-23 units.
C. NG-30 (Multi-Family Residential). All approved multi-family residential
development with VTTM 3150 has either been completed or is under construction.
A total of 202 residential units have been completed to date, 96 of which occurred
in 2023 and through March 4, 2024. An additional 94 units are under construction.
Once these units are completed, all 296 units approved in this area will have been
built. Completion is expected in July 2024. The Third DA Administrative
Amendment (Attachment K) was signed September 13, 2023, to allow the for-rent
Workforce Housing Units to be to be rented to households below 121% area
median income in order to make the units eligible to more residents.
D. NC (Hotel Project). A building permit for the 4-story structure was issued in
December 2022, and construction began on the 200-room hotel project in 2023.
The hotel has a 2-year construction schedule, with completion expected in early
2025.
Ag Heritage Center. Construction is ongoing, with the shell buildings mostly completed
in 2023. Tenant improvement permits are currently in process for several restaurant,
brewery, retail, market, and agricultural processing uses. Restoration of the historic
structures is nearing completion, with designs consistent with the Cultural Resources
report. The center has been named “SLO Ranch Farms and Marketplace” and is expected
to be complete and open to the public in summer 2024. An Agricultural Conservation
Easement has been recorded for approximately 42 acres of prime farmland. The property
owner has leased the land to an organic blueberry farmer who is currently installing crops
and site improvements in the area. City Staff is working with the blueberry farmer to
ensure compliance with mitigation measures for landscape buffering and fencing on the
farm, and permits are being obtained through the City Building Department where
required.
Page 26 of 328
Item 6c
E. Public Improvements. Nearly all major onsite and offsite public improvements,
including backbone roadways and utilities were completed prior to 2023. The only
substantial remaining public improvement is the fourth leg of the roundabout at
Dalidio/Froom Ranch Way, the design of which was approved in 2023. The
applicant is in continued negotiations with the property owner to the east for the
necessary right of way, which is required before construction can begin. Other
minor remaining work includes installing a permanent electrical service to the
pedestrian crosswalk across Madonna Road as part of the Tract 3150
improvements, along with a warranty issue with the asphalt pavement in Tract
3096 which the Public Works Department is currently resolving with the developer.
Public and private reimbursement agreements for oversized infrastructure and
sewer lines will go to the City Council for its consideration later in 2024, pending
receipt of cost documentation from the San Luis Ranch developer. Once received,
City staff will prepare reimbursement agreements for Council consideration.
F. Prado Road Interchange. San Luis Ranch recently fulfilled its required 28%
contribution towards the Prado Road interchange per requirements of the
Development Agreement, with a contribution of $28,415,268, consistent with DA
Operating Memorandum #3, signed on November 15, 2023 (Attachment H).
Reimbursements were credited for oversizing of some infrastructure built by San
Luis Ranch, reducing the developer’s net financial obligation to $24,018,752. The
developer made a cash payment of $14,121,072 on November 17, 2023. CFD
funds of $9,897,680, held from the developer’s original bond sale in 2020 for
project infrastructure, has been reserved for the City to use towards the Prado
interchange. Collectively, San Luis Ranch’s recent payment and the CFD reserve
described above satisfy the developer’s full financial obligation toward the Prado
Road Interchange. The City has continued the project development process for
the Prado Road Interchange in coordination with Caltrans, with the project now
advancing from the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA-ED) phase
to the final design phase, with start of construction slated for 2027. The payment
of funds constitutes substantial compliance with the Developer’s conditions for
Prado Road and it will be important to keep the project on schedule or escalating
costs could inure to the City.
G. Hazardous Tree Removals. On February 13, 2024, San Luis Ranch submitted an
application to remove eucalyptus trees that posed a hazard to proposed
development. Based on an evaluation of the accompanying arborist report, the
City Arborist approved 35 trees to be removed, consistent with Municipal Code
provisions that allow for the removal of trees that pose an imminent hazard to lives
or property. Eight trees were approved for immediate removal, with the other 27
subject to a 10-day appeal period. In a similar action in October 2023, the
City also authorized San Luis Ranch to remove four trees as recommended for
removal by the applicant’s arborist. The removals are currently in process by San
Luis Ranch. Another tree removal application was submitted in March 2 024 to
request removal of an additional six trees. The application is currently under review
Page 27 of 328
Item 6c
by the City Arborist. All tree removals will be subject to replanting consistent with
Mitigation Measures BIO-2(a) and BIO-2(b), which address tree replacement
requirements. Refer to the Project Compliance section of this report for additional
discussion.
New Applications in 2024 for Which Activities Have Not Yet Begun
A. Lot 7 Residential Development Application. The San Luis Ranch developer has
been working on preliminary plans which propose a predominantly residential
development on Lot 7. The original 2017 San Luis Ranch Specific Plan identified
that Lot 7 was to deliver 150,000 square feet of commercial development . On
November 17, 2020, the City Council approved a Specific Plan Amendment and
VTTM 3142 for a mixed-use development on Lot 7 which would accommodate up
to 114,300 square feet of commercial and 77 affordable housing units on 11 lots.
No final map for VTTM 3142 has been recorded, and no development has occurred
pursuant to that approval.
Lot 7 is currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial. The preliminary site plan
proposed by the developer as part of its application to alter the current entitlements
for Lot 7 contemplates 276 market rate units to be developed by San Luis Ranch
and up to 77 affordable units to be developed by Peoples’ Self -Help Housing.
Approximately 7,000 square feet of commercial space is proposed at the corner of
Dalidio and Froom Ranch Way. The Specific Plan application fee has been paid,
and the applicant is currently preparing the application materials for submittal. The
proposal would require a General Plan amendment and Specific Plan amendment
which are expected to be scheduled for City Council review to consider project
initiation later this year.
B. Office Lot. A 4.2-acre parcel is located on the east side of Froom Ranch Way and
Dalidio near the future Dalidio Highway 101 interchange. The parcel is zoned
Neighborhood Commercial and is identified for between 50,000 and 150,000
square feet of office buildings. Access to this parcel will be provided from the fourth
leg of the Dalidio roundabout when right-of-way is acquired and the driveway is
constructed in the future. No permits have been issued for construction on the
office lot to date.
Page 28 of 328
Item 6c
PROJECT COMPLIANCE
Development Agreement
Implementation of the San Luis Ranch project requires substantial new infrastructure to
support new development, most of which is the responsibility of the developer. The
approved Development Agreement (DA) for the project describes the developer's
responsibilities in that regard.
The DA is a contract authorized by California Planning and Zoning Law and the City’s
Municipal Code that provides certain benefits to the developer, typically in the way of
certainty and assurances to the developer regarding what rules will be applied for the
project, in exchange for extraordinary public benefits. For example, the Specific Plan
provides more affordable housing units than required by the City’s standard inclusionary
housing requirements.
Tract 3096 constructed offsite improvements to mitigate for the increase in traffic
generated by the development. The developer is also paying fair share fees for projects
that are not triggered solely by this development but will ultimately be needed upon build -
out of the City. As described in the DA and the conditions of approval, some of the
improvements being constructed with Tract 3096 are eligible for reimbursement , including
wastewater and transportation infrastructure. Reimbursement agreements outlining the
process which will be used to reimburse San Luis Ranch for qualifying oversized
infrastructure will be presented to Council as separate agenda items. The reimbursement
agreements are planned to provide reimbursement to San Luis Ranch via a combination
of transportation impact fees already paid by San Luis Ranch, or pass-through fair share
mitigation fees paid by other private developments.
Tract 3096 is meeting the City’s agricultural land preservation requirements through a
combination of onsite preservation and offsite easements. An Agricultural Conservation
Easement was dedicated on January 30, 2019, to preserve 42.56 acres of prime farmland
for onsite farming within the San Luis Ranch. Efforts related to this issue are in
compliance with DA requirements.
Although the DA also addresses financing issues in great detail, compliance with these
provisions will be addressed at the end of Fiscal Year 202 3-24 (end of June 2024) in a
separate agenda item related to activities under the Community Facilities District (CFD)
that was created pursuant to the DA.
Several provisions of the DA warrant discussion because they either address issues that
are currently in the process of being implemented, or require further action to bring the
project into compliance:
Page 29 of 328
Item 6c
A. Section 5.04.4. Early Residential Development Fee . This provision of the DA
requires the applicant to pay a fee to offset impacts to the City’s General Fund for
the cost of services associated with residential development in the event units are
constructed prior to the commercial component of San Luis Ranch being
completed. The DA requires an Early Residential Development Fee of $262.00 per
completed residential unit, less any unoccupied model homes , if the unit is
completed before a certificate of occupancy is issued for any commercial use
within the project. The cut-off date to establish final permits for calculation of fee is
February 28th of each year. As of February 28, 2024, the City has identified a total
of 400 residential units to which the fee will apply. (205 SFR Units; 202 MFR Units;
7 Unoccupied Model Homes). The total fee required to be paid for 2024 is
$104,800. Payment was made by MI San Luis Ranch on April 5, 2024 to fulfill this
DA requirement. MI San Luis Ranch paid $56,592 in 2023 based on 216 completed
units, and $9,432 in 2022 based on 36 completed units. Upon the issuance of the
first certificate of occupancy for any commercial use in the project, the obligation
to pay the Early Residential Development Fee shall terminate and shall thereafter
no longer be collected by or paid to the City.
B. Section 7.05. Affordable Housing Provisions. A key aspect of the approval of the
multi-family development Tract 3142 and the Specific Plan amendment approved
by City Council in November 2020 was that the commercial parcel on Lot 7 would
absorb the majority of the inclusionary affordable housing requirement for San Luis
Ranch and be developed as mixed-use. The inclusionary and affordable housing
requirements are summarized in Exhibit F of the DA, and the transfer of the
required affordable units to Lot 7 was memorialized in the First Administrative
Amendment to the DA, recorded in February 2021 (Attachment I). Between 64 to
77 affordable housing units are required to be constructed on Lot 7. This includes
26 affordable units transferred from the NG-30 MFR lot, which are a requirement
of the existing project, plus 34 affordable units, which are required to satisfy the
inclusionary requirement for the future commercial on Lot 7. That project has not
yet been constructed, and until it is, the project will not have fully complied with this
crucial provision of the DA. The new application for Lot 7, which would replace the
approved mixed-use project contemplated in Tract 3142, will be required to be
consistent with the affordable housing provisions of the DA . The development of
the affordable housing portion of the project is a crucial component of the project
and, should it appear that the developer is not making progress toward the
provision of the required affordable housing, staff will consider actions to ensure
compliance.
C. Section 7.06.a. Solar Energy Generation. The DA requires that the project “provide
for accelerated compliance with the City’s Energy Conservation Goals and its
Climate Action Plan by implementing energy conservation measures significantly
above City standards and norms by providing for solar PV energy generation for
100 percent of onsite electrical demand at build -out.” Solar is provided with the
single and multi-family housing, but for other aspects of the project, this issue has
not yet been fully addressed. For instance, the Ag Heritage Center identified PV
Page 30 of 328
Item 6c
systems as a deferred submittal with the shell building, but the City has not
received this submittal yet. PV systems have not been submitted for the hotel site
yet, however the site is still under construction. Energy generation on the Lot 7
commercial parcel and the office lots have not yet been identified. City staff will
monitor to ensure compliance with the requirements of this provision as the project
is built out. Should it appear that the developer is not making progress toward the
requirements of this provision, the City will consider actions to ensure compliance.
Attachment A summarizes the project’s current compliance status with respect to relevant
provisions of the DA. Except as noted above, as of March 2024 the developer is in
compliance with all applicable requirements of the DA with respect to project milestones.
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
As part of the environmental review of a development project, the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public lead agencies to im pose feasible
mitigation measures in order to substantially lessen or avoid the significant adverse
effects of the project on the physical environment. All mitigation must be feasible and
fully enforceable. Mitigation measures were included in the Final En vironmental Impact
Report (FEIR) for San Luis Ranch, certified by the City Council o n July 18, 2017. Some
of the traffic mitigation measures were updated in a subsequent City Council action
taken on August 18, 2020. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
describes the procedures for the implementation of the mitigation measures identified in
the FEIR. The MMRP specifies the entity responsible for monitoring the program and
when in the process it should be accomplished.
Attachment D is the updated MMRP, showing the current status of compliance with all
mitigation measures. In summary, the project is in compliance with all applicable
mitigation measures required to date, except as noted below. In some instances,
compliance is ongoing (e.g., with respect to biological and cultural resource issues) or
currently in process of being completed .
Key mitigation measures currently in the process of being implemented, or require further
action to bring the project into compliance, are:
A. Mitigation Measure AG-3(a). Agricultural Conflict Avoidance Measures.
Agricultural buffer, fencing, and related signage are required with the build out of
Agricultural Heritage Center and installation of agricultural operations within the
Conservation Easement. Installation is in progress, not yet completed.
B. Mitigation Measure AG-3(b). Agricultural Fencing. Installation of the required
agricultural fencing is required in conjunction with current agricultural site
development and Agricultural Heritage Center. Installation is in progress, not yet
completed.
C. Mitigation Measure AG-3(c). Agricultural Buffer Landscaping. Installation of
agricultural buffer landscaping is required in conjunction with the current site
development of the blueberry farm. Installation is in progress, but not yet
completed.
Page 31 of 328
Item 6c
D. Mitigation Measure AQ-1. Encourage Telecommuting. Compliance status to be
determined, pending verification from project developer.
E. Mitigation Measure AQ-3(a). Standard Air Quality Operation Mitigation Measures.
With regard to the requirement to use onsite renewable energy systems,
compliance status is still to be determined for the Hotel and AG Heritage Center
projects.
F. Mitigation Measure AQ-3(b). Offsite Air Quality Mitigation. Compliance status to
be determined, pending verification from project developer that air emissions have
been reduced to below daily threshold levels.
G. Mitigation Measure BIO-1(f). Great Blue Heron and Monarch Butterfly Impact
Avoidance and Minimization. City staff has not received required annual reporting
for Habitat Enhancement Plan, verification of ongoing maintenance and required
tree replantings, including compensatory tree replantings for previous tree
removals. Verification of creation of required offsite nesting habitat for great blue
herons also needs to be provided by the applicant. This Mitigation measures has
not yet been fulfilled, and therefore San Luis Ranch is not in compliance with this
requirement.
H. Mitigation Measure BIO-2(a). Biological Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan.
City staff has not received required annual reporting for HMMP, including
verification of required riparian habitat replacement at a 2:1 ratio. Annual
monitoring is a requirement of the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan. San
Luis Ranch is not in compliance with this mitigation measure and needs to submit
annual monitoring and show compliance with replanting requirements.
I. Mitigation Measure BIO-2(b). Tree Replacement for removals. Compliance status
to be determined, pending verification from developer that tree replacements have
been completed in accordance with annual reporting monitoring requirements (3
years), and direction from the City’s Natural Resources Manager. Additional
compensatory plantings will be required for compliance with Municipal Code
requirements to mitigate the hazardous tree removals recently authorized in late
2023 and 2024. Currently, San Luis Ranch is not in compliance with this mitigation
measure.
J. Mitigation Measure BIO-2(c). Froom Ranch Way Bridge Design to Avoid Riparian
Areas. Compliance status to be determined, pending verification from developer
that required tree replacements have been completed accordance with annual
reporting monitoring requirements (5 years), and direction from the City’s Natural
Resources Manager.
K. Mitigation Measure CR-1(a). Historical Structure Relocation and Reconstruction
Plan. Pending completion of reconstruction, currently in progress. Informational
signage and a completion letter from the project’s historical resources co nsultant
is currently being prepared.
L. Mitigation Measure T-3(a). Madonna Road Improvements. A component of this
measure requires SLR funding an assessment for increasing transit headways.
That study is underway as part of Short Range Transit Plan develo pment. SLR
did not contribute financially, but the study is underway.

Item 6c
In other cases, compliance cannot yet be determined because the project has not
progressed sufficiently to trigger the required mitigation (e.g., items that relate to the
design of commercial buildings). All applicable traffic mitigation has been completed as
required to date. The only remaining fair share traffic mitigation fees are ongoing payment
of Transportation Impact Fees (“TIF”) with each building permit. Attachment B is a
summarized version of the MMRP for easy reference, with all mitigation measures put in
sequential order of when compliance is required.
Project Conditions
Conditions of approval are imposed by the municipality as part of a land development
application to be adhered to and exercised as part of a right granted to the property.
Conditions of approval were adopted as part of the San Luis Ranch subdivision map
(vesting tentative map for Tract 3096) approved by the City Council on July 18, 2017.
Attachment C shows the current status of compliance with all relevant project conditions.
In summary, the project is in compliance or working towards compliance with all
applicable project conditions required to date, with exception of the items noted below.
Some conditions of approval have been fulfilled, while some are ongoing, and others will
be addressed in later phases of development. The compliance status of the following
conditions is pending resolution of key actions that are either ongoing or not yet
completed:
A. Condition 18. This requires the applicant to fund “monitoring of Highway 101
mainline merge, diverge, and weave level of service between Marsh & LOVR at
occupancy of 100 units and again at occupancy of 200 units of the project. If
deemed necessary by the City and Caltrans, components of the Prado Road
Interchange Project, such as ramp metering or auxiliary lanes may be advanced.”
The City has been in recent contact with Caltrans regarding the steps to fulfill this
condition. Caltrans has requested current traffic counts at a couple of locations
along the US 101 corridor to help guide their future planning efforts for potential
ramp metering or other capacity improvements. City Staff is in contact with the
San Luis Ranch developer to collect this information in spring 2024 before
schools are out for the summer. Caltrans has not requested a comprehensive
monitoring program, operations analysis, or preliminary design for ramp metering.
B. Conditions 21 and 38. To facilitate the orderly development, the project anticipates
future construction of the Prado Road Overpass, and VTTM Conditions of Approval
21 and 38 require the developer to construct a multilane roundabout control at
Dalidio Drive and Froom Ranch Way. The first two legs of the roundabout have
been installed. The third leg will be the future connection to the Prado Road
overpass, and the fourth leg will provide access to the Madonna Plaza and
Embassy Suites private development and the San Luis Ranch office lot. The
Conditions of Approval require the developer to exhaust all feasible efforts to
acquire the necessary off-site dedications, easements, and agreements for
construction of the roundabout improvements. The San Luis Ranch developer has
Page 33 of 328
Item 6c
been in negotiations with the adjacent property owner to acquire an access
easement to construct the fourth leg of the Dalidio roundabout, and resolution of
this requirement appears to be nearing completion. Improvements for the access
driveway will be installed when right-of-way easements are obtained.
C. Condition 55. Street trees are required as a condition of development, and as
shown on the conceptual landscape plan approved with Vesting Tentative Tract
Map 3096. Street trees shall generally be planted at the rate of one 15 -gallon
street tree for each 35 lineal feet of property frontage. Froom Ranch Way was
constructed without the required street trees. City Staff is continuing ongoing
discussions with the developer in an effort to bring this item into compliance.
D. Condition 68. The implementation of the required recycled water system is
currently under discussion between City Utilities staff and the developer.
Recycled water lines have been installed, however, installation of recycled water
meters and backflow preventors are needed in order to make the system
operational. City Staff will continue to work with the developer to complete the
recycled water system.
Community Facilities District (CFD)
A Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) was established and approved by the
City Council in February 2019 and formally adopted on April 16, 2019 (Ordinance No.
1661). The CFD for San Luis Ranch is a special tax assessment in the district which was
established to fund infrastructure.
The City is authorized to levy the tax through the annual property tax roll. In addition,
the City is responsible for the calculation and reporting of the annual special tax in
accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment. The City prepares the Annual
Tax Report for the CFD which reports on the status of the CFD, the costs of CFD, and
the amount of special taxes calculated and collected. The City's Finance Department is
responsible for preparing an annual report on the CFD at the end of each fiscal year to
coincide with the Citywide annual budget and is therefore not included in this report. The
CFD annual report was last completed and presented to Council on August 15, 2023.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
The following City Council or Advisory Body actions have occurred relevant to the project
activity currently underway:
Specific Plan, VTTM 3096, and FEIR Approval. The SLRSP was adopted by the
City Council in July 2017. VTTM 3096, which covers the entire Specific Plan area,
was adopted at the same time as the SLRSP. The City Council certified the Final
Environmental Impact Report for the project, including adopting CEQA findings
and a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Plan.
Page 34 of 328
Item 6c
Specific Plan Amendment and Final Supplemental EIR (FSEIR). On July 17, 2018,
the City Council approved a Specific Plan Amendment for the project and adopted
a resolution certifying Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (“FSEIR”)
for the revised project, which was prepared analyzing the environmental effects of
a revised development project with modified phasing.
Development Agreement Approval. The Development Agreement (“DA”) for the
San Luis Ranch project was adopted by the City Council on August 21, 2018, and
recorded on September 18, 2018.
Park Design Approval. The Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) approved
the design of the 2.8-acre central park on November 7, 2018.
Final Map Approval. The Final Map for VTTM 3096 was approved by the City
Council on November 27, 2018.
CFD Formation. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Development Agreement, a Mello-
Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) was established and approved by the
City Council in February 2019 and formally adopted on April 16, 2019 (Ordinance
No. 1661).
Updated Mitigation Measures and FEIR Addendum. The City Council approved
updated traffic mitigation measures and adopted a related FEIR Addendum on
August 18, 2020.
Final Map Recordation. The Final Map for VTTM 3096 was recorded on
September 14, 2020.
VTTM 3150 Approval (NG-30 - Multi-Family Residential). The City Council
approved VTTM 3150 on April 7, 2020. The Final Map was approved on October
6, 2020.
NC (Hotel Project). The Planning Commission approved a 200-room dual brand
hotel on a 3.41-acre site within the NC zone on July 22, 2020. The project was
referred to the Airport Land Use Commission to consider whether it complied with
all conditions related to a previous ALUC conformance finding with the ALUP. On
September 2, 2020, the ALUC modified one of its previous conditions to ensure
compliance.
NC (Commercial Mixed Use Project). On November 17, 2020, the City Council
approved a Specific Plan Amendment and VTTM 3142, which would
accommodate up to 114,300 SF of commercial and 77 affordable housing units on
11 lots within the subdivision.
Page 35 of 328
Item 6c
Agricultural Heritage Center. The Planning Commission approved the design for
the Agricultural Heritage and Learning Center portion of the Specific Plan on
October 27, 2021.
Acceptance of Improvements. The City Council adopted a resolution for partial
acceptance of public improvements and certification of completion of required
private improvements for Tract 3150, a multi-family condominium re-subdivision of
Lots 1 and 2 Tract 3096 on February 21, 2023.
Summary
As outlined in this report, while the San Luis Ranch project is moving forward, it appears
that the Developer is not in compliance with several required mitigation measures or
project conditions. City staff will continue to work with the Develope r to ensure compliance
moving forward. Continued non-compliance or lack of action toward compliance may
result in actions being taken by the City to encourage compliance of these required
conditions and mitigation measures.
Public Engagement
An extensive public review process was completed with the approval of the Tentative Map
and San Luis Ranch Specific Plan. The annual monitoring of the San Luis Ranch
Development Agreement and associated project mitigation measures and conditions
have a “notify” level of public engagement, which has been accomplished through
this agenda item and associated staff report.
CONCURRENCE
The Community Development Director, Public Works Director, Utilities Director, and
Parks and Recreation Director concur with the recommended action.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Annual monitoring of the San Luis Ranch DA and MMRP is categorically exempt from
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to CEQA Guidelines Section
15306 (Information Collection), which exempts “basic data collection, research,
experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a
serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.” These actions also qualify
for the “common sense” exemption under Section 15061(b)(3), which covers activities
“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.” Annual monitoring does
not change any aspect of the approved San Luis Ranch project, nor does it introduce
the potential for any new environmental impacts. Therefore, the proposed action is
categorically exempt from further analysis under CEQA.

Section 5.03.2.(f) of the San Luis Ranch Development Agreement requires the developer
to pay for consultant costs related to the annual Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program evaluation and Development Agreement review. The consultant’s scope of work
to prepare this year’s annual evaluation and reporting for the San Luis Ranch MMRP and
DA review totaled $8,640. The consultant is contracted by the City and paid for by the
San Luis Ranch developer. There are no direct fiscal impacts to the City related to the
MMRP and DA annual review and reporting.
Supplemental taxes are assessed and collected on the project through the Community
Facilities District to pay for infrastructure. The CFD annual compliance report will be a
future agenda item prepared at the end of each fiscal year t o coincide with the Citywide
annual budget and is therefore not included in this report. The CFD annual report was
last completed and presented to Council on August 15, 2023.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Council could provide specific direction to Staff to work with the SLR
Developer on conditions, mitigations, or other requirements.
2. Council could decide to provide direction to staff regarding the annual
monitoring report for the San Luis Ranch project and continue the item to a
future meeting.
3. Council could decide to reject the annual monitoring report for the San Luis
Ranch project. This is not recommended since annual monitoring is a
requirement of the DA and State Law (California Government Code § 65865.1).

San Luis Ranch Project EIR
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (updated March 2024)
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the San Luis
Ranch Project, proposed in the City of San Luis Obispo, California. Public Resources Code
Section 21081.6(a)(1) requires that a Lead Agency adopt an MMRP before approving a project in
order to mitigate or avoid significant impacts that have been identified in an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR). The purpose of the MMRP is to ensure that the required mitigation
measures identified in the EIR are implemented as part of the overall project development
process. In addition to ensuring implementation of mitigation measures, the MMRP provides
guidance to agency staff and decision-makers during project implementation, and identifies the
need for enforcement action before irreversible environmental damage occurs. Where an impact
was identified to be less than significant in the EIR, no mitigation measures were required.
The San Luis Ranch Project consists of a Specific Plan, General Plan Amendment/Pre-Zoning,
and Development Plan/Vesting Tentative Tract Map for a 131-acre project site, including
annexation of the site into the City of San Luis Obispo. The project includes construction of up
to 580 residential units, 150,000 square feet of commercial development, 100,000 square feet of
office development, and a 200-room hotel, with a portion of the site preserved for agriculture
and open space uses. The following table summarizes the mitigation measures for each issue
area identified in the Final EIR as updated through the Final Supplemental EIR for the project.
Specifically, the table identifies each mitigation measure; the action required for the measure to
be implemented; the time at which the monitoring is to occur; the monitoring conditions; and
the agency or party responsible for ensuring that the monitoring is performed. In addition, the
table includes columns for compliance verification.

AG -1 Agricultural Conservation. Prior to issuance of any
grading permits, the project proponent shall provide that for
every one (1) acre of Important Farmland (Prime Farmland,
Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmland)
on the site that is permanently converted to non-agricultural
use as a result of project development, one (1) acre of land
of comparable agricultural productivity shall be preserved in
perpetuity. The land dedicated to agriculture pursuant to this
measure shall be of size, location and configuration
appropriate to maintain a viable, working agricultural
operation. The acreage required to meet the 1:1 ratio may
be met by the off-site agricultural conservation
easement/deed restriction proposed by the project applicant,
as long as this land meets the conditions outlined in this
measure. Said mitigation shall be satisfied by the applicant
through:
1) Granting a perpetual conservation easement(s), deed
restriction(s), or other farmland conservation
mechanism(s) to the City or qualifying entity which has
been approved by the City, such as the Land
Conservancy of San Luis Obispo, for the purpose of
permanently preserving agricultural land. The required
easement(s) area or deed restriction(s) shall therefore
total a minimum of 56 acres of Prime Farmland. The
land covered by said on- and/or off-site easement(s) or
deed restriction(s) shall be located within or contiguous
to the City’s Urban Reserve Line or Greenbelt subject
to review and approval of the City’s Natural Resources
Manager; or
2) Making an in-lieu payment to a qualifying entity which
has been approved by the City, such as the Land
Conservancy of San Luis Obispo, to be applied toward
the future purchase of a minimum of 56 acres of Prime
Farmland in San Luis Obispo County, together with an
endowment amount as may be required. The payment
amount shall be determined by the qualifying entity or a
licensed appraiser; or
3) Making an in-lieu payment to a qualifying entity which
has been approved by the City and that is organized for
conservation purposes, to be applied toward a future
perpetual conservation easement, deed restriction, or
other farmland conservation mechanism to preserve a
minimum of 56 acres of Prime Farmland in San Luis
Prior to issuance of any
grading permits for the project,
the applicant shall provide
evidence of the recorded
easement(s), deed
restriction(s), or evidence of
payment to the City Planning

BIO-1(e) Steelhead Impact Avoidance and Minimization.
The applicant shall ensure the following actions are
undertaken to avoid and minimize potential impacts to
steelhead:
Before any activities begin on the project, a qualified
biologist will conduct a training session for all
construction personnel. At a minimum, the training will
include a description of the steelhead and its habitat,
the specific measures that are being implemented to
conserve this species for the project, and the
boundaries within which the project may be
accomplished. Brochures, books, and briefings may be
used in the training session, provided that a qualified
person is on hand to answer any questions.
During the duration of project activities, all trash that
may attract predators will be properly contained and
secured, promptly removed from the work site, and
disposed of regularly. Following construction, all trash
and construction debris will be removed from the work
areas.
All refueling, maintenance, and staging of equipment
and vehicles will occur at least 100 feet from riparian
habitat or bodies of water and in a location where a
potential spill would not drain directly toward aquatic
habitat (e.g., on a slope that drains away from the water
source). The monitor shall ensure that contamination of
suitable habitat does not occur during such operations.
Prior to the onset of work activities, a plan must be in

The number of access routes, size of staging areas,
and the total area used for construction activities shall
be limited to the minimum area necessary to achieve
the project goals.
The City will only permit work within the immediate
vicinity of Prefumo Creek for times of the year when
potential impacts to steelhead would be minimal. Work
shall be restricted during the wet season (October 15
through April 30) and should ideally occur during the
late summer and early fall during the driest portion of
the year; however, water may still be present during
construction. If work is proposed in the streambed and
water is present during construction, a diversion will be
required to dewater the work area and the following
avoidance and minimization measures will apply:
1. Upstream and downstream passage for fish,
including juvenile steelhead, shall be provided
through or around the construction site at all times
construction is occurring within the Prefumo Creek
streambed.
2. A qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-
construction survey and be present onsite during
the diversion installation and dewatering process
to capture and relocate any trapped steelhead
and/or other fish. Upon approval from the NMFS,
the biologist(s) must relocate these individuals the
shortest distance possible to a location that
contains suitable habitat that is not likely to be
affected by activities associated with the project.
3. Dewatering operations shall employ a five
millimeter mesh screen fastened to the intake
hose to exclude fish and other wildlife species
from the pump.
4. Steelhead shall be excluded from the construction
zone with block nets installed upstream and
downstream the of the bridge construction zone.
The distance upstream and downstream for block

to mitigate for removal of onsite nesting habitat. With a
qualified biologist present, the current rookery may be
moved to a suitable offsite location where the same
great blue herons can resume nesting, following
methods detailed in Crouch et al. (2002). It should be
noted that creating offsite nesting habitat for great blue
herons is experimental and that the relocation
techniques described in Crouch et al. (2002) were used
to relocate black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax
nycticorax). In addition, an agreement with the City will
be required prior to implementation of the offsite
strategy on their property. The methods detailed in
Crouch et al. (2002) include:
a. This entails at least one year of pre-construction
monitoring of the rookery, where the timing of
rookery activities will be noted: arrival of breeding
adults, egg laying, hatching, and fledging. During
this time, audio recordings of adults and juveniles
shall be made.
b. Following the completion of the nesting season in
late summer, a certified arborist specializing in the
translocation of trees will examine the mature
trees onsite and work with the City’s Natural
Resources Manager to determine whether or not it
is feasible to relocate the mature trees containing
nests across Madonna Road to a suitable location
at Laguna Lake Open Space.

OPERATING MEMORANDUM NUMBER THREE
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
AND MI SAN LUIS RANCH, LLC
The Development Agreement by and between the City of San Luis Obispo (the “City”) and MI San
Luis Ranch LLC (“SLR”) dated as of on or about September 18, 2018, and which became effective
on October 18, 2018 (the “Development Agreement”), provides in Section 9.03 of the
Development Agreement that compliance with the requirements of the San Luis Ranch Specific
Plan (the “Specific Plan”), the Conditions of Approval (the “Conditions of Approval”) for the San
Luis Ranch Project (the “Project”), the conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map.
No. 3096 (the “VTTM”), and provisions of the Development Agreement (collectively, the Specific
Plan, the Conditions of Approval, the VTTM, and the Development Agreement may be referred
to collectively as the “Project Approvals”) require a close degree of cooperation between the City
and SLR and refinements and further development of the Project may demonstrate that
clarifications are appropriate with respect to the details of performance. The Development
Agreement further provides that if and when City and SLR agree that such clarifications are
necessary or appropriate, they may implement such clarifications through operating memoranda
approved by the City and SLR.
Capitalized terms used in this Operating Memorandum shall carry the same definitions as those
set forth in the Development Agreement.
A. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Operating Memorandum is to clarify how the Parties will implement the final
funding of the Prado Overpass improvements, described in Exhibit C to the Development
Agreement as the Prado Road/US 101 Interchange and North Bound Ramps (Exhibit C, Table 3,
Item 4) and Prado Southbound Ramps (Exhibit C, Table 3, Item 5), collectively, the “Prado
Overpass Improvements”). The final cost estimate for the Prado Overpass Improvements, as of
the date of this Agreement, have been established at One Hundred One Million Four Hundred
Eighty-Three Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($101,483,100.00) and SLR’s share of the Prado
Overpass Improvements (the “Prado Road Interchange Mitigation Fee”) is Twenty-Eight Million
Four Hundred Fifteen Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Eight Dollars ($28,415,268.00) which is
equal to 28% of $101,483,100.00.
Section 5.04.6 of the DA provides that SLR shall pay its portion of the Prado Road Interchange
Mitigation Fee prior to the issuance of occupancy permits within the Specific Plan Area that
generate a cumulative total of 233 PM Peak Hour Trips. The Parties acknowledge that the City
has issued occupancy permits that exceed this threshold and that such action does not constitute a
waiver by the City of any related breach or alleged breach of the Development Agreement by SLR,
nor does such action constitute any waiver by the City of remedies for any breach of the
Development Agreement, all of which are expressly acknowledged and reserved to the City.
The parties intend through this Operating Memorandum to confirm the final contribution amount
from SLR for its share of the Prado Road Interchange Mitigation Fee and to document the method
and timing for payment.
The City and SLR previously entered into Operating Memorandum No. 1, Operating
Memorandum No. 2, Administrative Amendment No. 1, and Administrative Amendment No. 2,
DocuSign Envelope ID: AB941829-9A76-4867-8215-80EA536B460C
