Project Location: The project site is the northwestern part of the Margarita Specific Plan Area, and extends from the ridge of the South Hills to the area east of Margarita Avenue (Figure #1). 5. Project Sponsor's Name and Address: John E. King King Ventures 290 Pismo Street San Luis Obispo CA 93401 Richard DeBlauw Sierra Gardens /DeBlauw Construction 411 El Camino Real Arroyo Grande CA 93420 6. General Plan Designation: Representative: David Watson 246 Encanto Ave Pismo Beach CA 93449 The site is within the urban reserve line. The hills are designated Open Space, while the gently sloping lower area is designated Residential Neighborhood. 7. Zoning: Since the site is outside the city limits, City zoning has not been applied. Upon annexation, the area would be zoned Conservation /Open Space. Upon adoption of the proposed specific plan, the area would be zoned consistent with that plan (Conservation /Open Space, Public Facility, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Medium -high Density Residential, all with the Specific Plan overlay zone). 1-31 8. Description of the Project; 9.A Relationship to Other Environmental Review; 9.6 Project Entitlements Requested: The subject property is within a residential expansion area that is identified by the City's General Plan. The City certified an environmental impact report (EIR) for updates of the General Plan Land Use Element and Circulation Element in 1994. The proposed action is to bring the land inside the city limits, making it subject to City land use regulations and eligible for City utilities and services. No change-of use or development is proposed as part of this action. Under City policy, development of the subject property cannot begin until a specific plan is adopted. The specific plan will prescribe land uses, development standards, streets, parks and other public facilities, phasing, and financing of public facilities in more detail than the General Plan. The forthcoming EIR will evaluate several alternate features for the specific plan. The City is preparing the Margarita Area Specific Plan for the site and neighboring land to the south and east (Figure #1). The City Council has approved a draft of the specific plan as the project description for an environmental impact report. That EIR is being prepared in conjunction with work on the Airport Area Specific Plan, which covers land south of the Margarita Area. Once the Margarita Area Specific Plan is adopted, phased subdivision and development of the area may proceed, subject to adequate services being available. The subject property is expected to accommodate about 320 dwellings out of a total 1,100 dwellings in the specific plan area. The hills and creek corridors would be dedicated as open space, and streets and utilities would be extended into the area in accordance with the specific plan. 10. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The approximately 130 -acre site consists of rocky hills and alluvial grazing land, cut by several seasonal creeks. High - voltage electrical transmission lines run through the DeBlauw property. To the north is hillside open space dedicated as part of the Stoneridge project. Mobile home parks and houses are to the west. Land to the east and south, within the Margarita planning area, is alluvial grazing land with a few ranch houses. 11. Other public agencies whose approval is required: Approval of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) is required for the annexation. LAFCo staff have indicated that the EIR for the 1994 General Plan update is adequate for annexing the Margarita Area. Completion of the annexation depends on the County of San Luis Obispo and the City having a tax - sharing agreement. The Airport Land Use Commission will review the specific plan. Depending on such features as wetlands mitigation and the designation of Prado Road as a state highway, the approval of agencies such as Caltrans, California Fish and Game, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may be required for those features of the specific plan. 2 1-3.L ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: This project would potentially affect the environmental factors checked below, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. FISH AND GAME FEES: FThere is no evidence before the Department that the project will have any potential adverse effects 9 on fish and wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, the project qualifies for a de minimis waiver with regard to filing Fish and Game fees. F-1 The project has potential to impact fish and wildlife resources and shall be subject to the payment of Fish and Game fees pursuant to Section 711.4 of the California Fish and Game Code. 3 t -33 Land Use and Planning Biological Resources Aesthetics X Population and Housing Energy and Mineral Resources Cultural Resources Geological Problems Hazards Recreation Water Noise X Mandatory Findings of Significance Air Quality Public Services Transportation and Circulation Utilities and Service Systems FISH AND GAME FEES: FThere is no evidence before the Department that the project will have any potential adverse effects 9 on fish and wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends.

F-1 The project has potential to impact fish and wildlife resources and shall be subject to the payment of Fish and Game fees pursuant to Section 711.4 of the California Fish and Game Code. 3 t -33 DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case .because the mitigation measures described on attached sheets will be part of the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project may have one or more significant effects on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a °Potentially Significant Impact' or is "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (1) have been analyzed in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. I find that the proposed project may have one or more significant effects on the environment, but (1) the potential impacts have been adequately analyzed in an earlier environmental impact report pursuant to applicable legal standards, including findings of overriding considerations for X some potential cumulative impacts and (2) impacts for which findings of overriding considerations have not previously been made have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR. Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director Printed Name /� Date 1- 34 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the analysis in each section. A"No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (for example, the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact' answer should be explained where it is based on project- specific factors as well as general standards (for example, the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including impacts that are off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis," may be cross - referenced). 5. Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEOA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the checklist. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (such as general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 5 � -3S Issues and Supporting Information Sources Sources Potentiatly Potentially Less Than Nolmpaa X designation, or zoning?

(such as impact to soils or farmlands, or impacts from 4,16 X incompatible land uses)? 4 X e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including a low- income or minority community)? a) General plan & zoning The General Plan encourages annexation of land within the urban reserve, particularly when permanent open space protection and affordable housing will result. Development will be subject to the specific plan, which will be consistent with and help implement the General Plan. d) Agricultural resources No change to existing conditions will result from the annexation alone. The developable part of the site is shown as "farmland of local potential," meaning it has some characteristics of prime land or land of statewide importance but it has not been cultivated. 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING - Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population X projections? b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or indirectly (for example, through projects in an 1,4 X undeveloped area or major infrastructure)? X c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? a) The additional resident population enabled by the annexation (about 650) is within the General Plan's projection, and has been addressed in the EIR on the 1994 Land Use Element Update. 3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture? X X b) Seismic ground shaking? X c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? X d) Seiche, tsunami, or volcanic hazard? X e) Landslides or mudflows? 4,7 X f) Erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading, or fill? X g) Subsidence of the land? X h) Expansive soils? X i) Unique geologic or physical features? No change to existing conditions will result from the annexation alone. Impacts of eventual development are adequately addressed by the 1994 EIR and code requirements. The City of San Luis Obispo is in a seismically active region. Strong ground shaking is expected during the life of structures, which must comply with seismic design criteria in the Uniform Building Code. No known faults pass under or close to the site. The site is not subject to landslide, liquefaction, seiche, tsunami, or volcanic hazards. It does not contain unique features. 1-36 Issues and Supporting Information Sources Sources Potentib.., Potentially I ass liian No Impact X rate and amount of surface runoff?

X g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? X h) Impacts to groundwater quality? X i) Substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies? No change to existing conditions will result from the annexation alone. Cumulative drainage impacts from development were addressed in the EIR for the 1994 Land Use Element Update. Development would increase construction- related erosion and the amount of impervious surfaces. Development will be required to detain peak storm flows, so post - development runoff will not exceed pre - development conditions. Redirecting some runoff from the area north of El Camino Estates will prevent overflows of existing culverts, which has been a problem. A "general construction activity storm water permit" is required for all storm water discharges associated with construction activity involving five or more acres. 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation X (noncompliance with APCD Environmental Guidelines)? 4, 10, X b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants 11 X c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate? X d) Create objectionable odors? No change to existing conditions will result from the annexation alone. Cumulative impacts of development were addressed in the EIR for the 1994 Land Use Element Update. The annexation would not enable development beyond that anticipated in the County Clean Air Plan. 6. TRANSPORTATION /CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? X b) Hazards to safety from design features (such as sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses X (such as farm equipment)?

A key issue for the specific plan is phasing of development in relation to road improvements. The type of residential development intended for the annexation area is compatible according to the Airport Land Use Plan. Issues remain to be resolved for build -out of the specific plan area, since both the draft specific plan and the Airport Land Use Plan are being revised. 7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal affect: a) Endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats X (including plants, fish, insects, animals or birds)? X b) Locally designated species (such as heritage trees)? X c) Locally designated natural communities (such as oak 4 forest, coastal habitat)? X d) Wetland habitat (marsh, riparian and vernal pool)? X e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors?

( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection 4 X with the effects of the past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects) More intense development under City jurisdiction does have a potential to cumulatively degrade the quality of the environment, despite City policies and standards. This issue was addressed by making findings of overriding considerations when the 1994 EIR was certified. d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, X either directly or indirectly? 10 / -Slb 17. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to thetiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (D). In this case a discussion should identify the following items: a) Earlier analysis used_. Identify earlier analyses and state .where they are available for review. All of the annexation area is covered by the City's General Plan Land use Element and Circulation Element, which were comprehensively revised in 1994. A final EIR for those updates was prepared in 1994. That EIR is available at the City of San Luis Obispo Community Development Department, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. b) Impacts adequately addressed.
