City of San Luis Obispo Land Use and Circulation Element Update Final Program Environmental Impact Report Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 1.0 Introduction As of January 1, 1989, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program f fM4MRPI for projects where mitigation measures are a condition of their approva l and development. This M MRP has been prepared in compliance with Section 21081.6 of the California Public Resources Code and Sections 15091(d) and 15097 of the CECIA Guidelines, which require public agencies to "adopt a program for monitoring or reporting on the revisions which it has required in the project and the measure's it has imposed to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects-' An MMRP is required for the LUCE Update because the Program EIR prepared for the Project identified significant adverse environmental impacts that would result from the Project's implementation, and mitigation measures have been identified to mitigate or avoid the identified impacts. 2.0 Purpose of the MMRP This MMRP has been prepared to ensure that all mitigation measures identified by the LUCE Update Final Program EIR are implemented. The attached Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting table will assist the responsible parties in implementing the MMRP. The table lists the environmental impacts identified try the EIR that would result from the implementation of the LUCE Update;, the mitigation measures identified by the EIR; methods to monitor the implementation of the Wentified mitigation measures; when the specified monitoring is to occur, and the agency /department responsible for ensuring compliance with the mitigation measures. 3.0 Roles and Responsibilities The City of San Luis Obispo is responsible for taking all actions necessary to implement the mitigation measures listed on the attached table according to the specifications provided for each measure and for demonstrating that the mitigation measures have been successfully implemented and completed. 4,0 Implementation of The Final Program EIR The Final Program EIR prepared for the LUCE Update identified mitigation measures that would mitigate or avoid environmental impacts that would result from the implementation of the Project. Those mitigation measures are identified in the attached table, along with required mitigation measure monitoring and reporting requirements.. It is important to note that Chapter 3.0 of the Final EIR (Minor Edits to the Draft EIR) includes min ©r modifications to policies of the Land Use and Circulation Elements Update. Those suggested policy language modifications are proposed only to clarify the intent and requirements of the policy language. The policy modifications included in Final EIR Chapter 3.0 are minor adjustments to the proposed Project and are not required to mitigate or avoid an environmental impact of the LUCE Update Project. Therefore, the suggested policy modifications Included in Final EIR Chapter 3.0 are not listed on the attached MMRP table.
