WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a
hearing on February 26, 2025, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under MOD-0753-
2024, Covelop Inc., applicant, to consider the modified project and recommendations
from the Active Transportation Committee; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a hearing

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo approve the Addendum to the certified Final EIR and approve the modified
circulation design and conditions of approval for the previously-approved 600 Tank Farm
Mixed Use Project. This resolution is based on the following findings, California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings, and conditions:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council does hereby approve of the modified 600
Tank Farm Road project, based on the following findings:
1. The originally approved project (Resolution 11304 – 2022 Series) as conditioned
was found to be consistent with the General Plan and Airport Area Specific Plan
(AASP). As conditioned, the proposed project modification, together with the
provisions for design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan,
including compatibility with objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs
specified in the General Plan and the AASP.
2. As conditioned, the County of San Luis Obispo Airport Land Use Commission, on
August 18, 2021, found the originally approved project to be consistent with the
Airport Land Use Plan.
3. The modified project as conditioned is consistent with the land use and circulation
requirements of the General Plan, Airport Area Specific Plan, and Active
Transportation Plan, based on the analysis included in the Planning Commission
Agenda Report of February 26, 2025.
4. The originally approved project (Resolution 11304 – 2022 Series) as conditioned
was found to be conformance with development review requirements related to
project scale, size, character, or other considerations related to public health,
safety and welfare.
5. The modified project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of
persons living or working at the project site or in the vicinity because the proposed
circulation modification will not introduce design issues detrimental to public health.
The interim improvements and modified conditions address roadway safety needs
for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians as identified in the February 2025

Transportation Impact Study. The subdivision will occur on a previously developed
site within an urbanized area. Approval of this subdivision modification does not
include variances or exceptions from applicable design standards set forth in the
Subdivision Regulations. The project modification has been found in conformance
with development standards and the Airport Area Specific Plan, and the project will
be compatible with site constraints, the scale/character of the site and the
surrounding neighborhood. As a Common Interest Subdivision, the project is
subject to architectural review and enforcement of relevant building and safety
codes.
6. The project is consistent with Housing Element Policies 6.1 and 7.4 because the
project supports the development of more housing in accordance with the assigned
Regional Housing Needs Allocation and establishes a new neighborhood, with
pedestrian and bicycle linkages that provide direct, convenient and safe access to
adjacent neighborhoods consistent with the AASP.
7. As conditioned, the applicant has agreed to an indemnification clause to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the City and/or its agents, officers and employees
from any claim, action or proceeding against the City and/or its agents, officers or
employees to attack, set aside, void or annul, the approval by the City of this
project, and all actions relating thereto, including but not limited to environmental
review and deferral of construction of the Tank Farm/Santa Fe Roundabout
(“Indemnified Claims”). Upon request of the City, applicant shall execute an
indemnification agreement in a form provided by the City prior to building permit or
on/off-site subdivision improvement permit issuance.
8. Due to property acquisition, environmental, and permitting constraints, and the
costs and timeframes associated with those constraints, current construction of the
Tank Farm/Santa Fe Roundabout project as originally contemplated is infeasible
at this time. As conditioned, the alternative interim transportation improvements
identified with this project modification are suitable for the density of the
development proposed and will not preclude the construction of future facilities
consistent with the ultimate long-term improvements consistent with the City’s
Active Transportation Plan and the Airport Area Specific Plan.
9. Due to property acquisition, environmental, and permitting constraints, and the
costs associated with those constraints, undergrounding of one single identified
utility pole has been determined to be infeasible at this time. As conditioned, the
utility undergrounding identified with this project modification, including the single
power pole that would remain in place or be moved slightly offsite, would not
conflict with the proposed interim public improvements or future roundabout
construction, with final location to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer
to ensure compatibly, as required by conditions of approval.

SECTION 2. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings. Based upon
all the evidence, the City Council approves the Addendum to the certified Final
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (State Clearing House #2020110426), subject to the
following CEQA findings in support of the modified circulation improvements as
conditioned and as related to the 600 Tank Farm Mixed Use project:
1. The 600 Tank Farm Mixed Use Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) was
prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
the State CEQA Guidelines, adequately addressing impacts associated with the
project.
2. The previously approved project was found to be consistent with the requirements
of the 600 Tank Farm Mixed Use FEIR as proposed based on the CEQA Findings
and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and prepared consistent with CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15091 and 15093, and this approval incorporates those FEIR
mitigation measures as applicable to the project, as described more fully in the
CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations (Resolution
No.11304, Exhibit A) and Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program
(Resolution No.11304, Exhibit B).
3. All potentially significant effects were analyzed adequately in the referenced FEIR,
and reduced to the extent feasible, provided identified mitigation measures are
incorporated into the project and the mitigation monitoring program (refer to
Resolution No.11304, Exhibit B, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program).
4. The proposed circulation modifications would not introduce any new impact nor
increase the severity of any previously-identified impact described in the certified
FEIR, nor would it modify or eliminate any previously-required mitigation
measures, as described in the Addendum to the FEIR prepared pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.
5. An addendum to the FEIR is the appropriate level of environmental review for the
modified project because neither the proposed project nor the circumstances
under which it is undertaken will result in substantial changes to the original project
which will require major revisions to the FEIR due to new or increased significant
environmental effects, and no new information of substantial importance shows
significant environmental effects not previously examined or newly-feasible
mitigation measures.
SECTION 3. Approval. The City Council does hereby approve the proposed project
modification with incorporation of the following conditions, which were all part of the
original 2022 project approval (Resolution 11304), except modified as noted in
strikethrough and underline to reflect current 2025 modifications:
The project conditions of approval do not include mandatory code requirements. Code
compliance will be verified during the plan check process, which may include additional
requirements applicable to the project.
