DISCUSSION
Background
On July 5, 2005, a concept plan for the area adjacent to the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF)
was approved by City Council. This concept plan identifies specific improvements on the
City-owned property between Highway 101 and San Luis Obispo Creek. These improvements
focus on enhancing the natural wildlife habitat of the property and also consider the opportunity
for improving the appearance of this City entrance gateway as viewed from Highway 101. One
of the key features of the concept plan is a new wetland to be constructed adjacent to the Bob
Jones City-to-Sea Trail, around which the concept plan is organized.
The first phase of the Bob Jones City-to-Sea Trail was completed in 2008. The Bob Jones Trail
Enhancements project will implement additional features of the concept plan including additional
trails and a newly created wetland with an elevated boardwalk, a kiosk and interpretive outlook
adjacent to the wetland.
On July 29, 2009 a contract was awarded to CJP Productions, Inc., a local landscape architect,
for the design of the Bob Jones Trail Enhancements project. The design has been completed with
assistance from Wallace Group who provided structural engineering design of the elevated
boardwalk, and by GeoSolutions Inc., who performed soils engineering and geotechnical
recommendations for the footing design for the boardwalk.
CONCURRENCES
The Bob Jones Trail Enhancements project has received a Notice of Exemption from the
Community Development Department per the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA).
