MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
WITHIN THE ORCUTT AREA SPECIFIC PLAN
(GPA, SPA, ER #TR3063 AND #TR3066)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted
public hearings on March 25, 2015 and April 8, 2015, and considered a series of requests for
amendments to the General Plan and Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP) that address revisions to
the Urban Reserve Line located on Righetti Hill, reconfiguration of open space and parklands,
modifications to residential land use and zoning, reorientation of wetlands mitigation sites,
modifications to bike paths /trails and addition of Section 9.10 to the OASP to "track"
amendments, adjustments and clarifications within the GASP; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered an Initial Study- Mitigated Negative
Declaration (IS -MND) analyzing the proposed GPA -SPA amendments, along with applicable
mitigations from the 2010 Final EIR certified for the GASP; and
WHEREAS, the April 8, 2015 public hearing was for the purpose of formulating and
forwarding recommendations to the City Council regarding the proposed amendments and
projects, recommending actions to the Council on the various amendments and track map
applications; and
WHEREAS, notices of the City Council public hearing for May 19, 2015, were made at
the time and in the manner required by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony
of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by the Planning
Commission and staff, presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. CEQA Findings, Mitigation Measures and Mitigation Monitoring
Program. Based upon all the evidence, the Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council adopt the following CEQA findings in support of the General Plan and Specific Plan
Amendments
1. The proposed amendments and projects, as conditioned herein, are consistent
with the requirements of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan Final Environmental
Impact Report (FEIR) certified and adopted by the City Council on March 2,
2010, and this action incorporates those FEIR mitigation measures as detailed
R 10618
Resolution No. 10618 (2015 Series)
Page 2
herein.
2. A supplemental initial study has been prepared for the amendments and project
proposals addressing potential environmental impacts which were not identified or
detailed in the FEIR for the Orcutt Area Specific Plan. The Community
Development Director has recommended that the results of that additional analysis be
incorporated into a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) of environmental impacts,
and recommends adoption of additional mitigation measures to those imposed by the
FEIR, all of which are incorporated below.
3. All potentially significant effects were analyzed adequately in the referenced FEIR
and IS- MND, and reduced to a level of insignificance, provided the
following mitigation measures are incorporated into the GPA -SPA and
development project Resolutions and the mitigation monitoring programs:
AESTHETICS MITIGATION
AES -3 Special Building Height Limits, Scale and Massing Design Standards for
Western Flank of Righetti Hill (Righetti Ranch VTM #3063). Added building
design restrictions shall be required for residential lots and units (Lots 35 -50)
adjoining the Righetti Hill URL on the western flank of the hillside. These standards
are intended to reduce the massing of residential units abutting the URL. These
standards will include use of the following building techniques, and considered
during ARC and /or staff review of any project applications for residential units in
this location:
1. Residential Building Heights shall not exceed 25' as measured above average
finished grade;
2. Grading for lots abutting the URL will be encouraged to be split -pads, to reduce
the scale of the building mass by stepping down the hillside;
3. The upper pad shall be limited to one -story (a maximum of 15') in height;
4. First floor massing and footprint shall be encouraged to be built into the
topography (recessed) into the hillside;
5. Second floor square footage shall be set back from the first floor elevation,
creating a stepped appearance to the buildings;
6. Maximum lot coverage shall not exceed 50 %; and,
7. Roof lines on the upper pad will align front -to -back to narrow the high point of
the roof when viewed from the street.
• AES -3 Monitoring Program:
Compliance will be reviewed and implemented at two (2) stages. First, any final map recorded
for subdivision of lots abutting URL along the western flank of the Righetti Hill shall include a
special deed restriction incorporating this mitigation and special development criteria on such
lots. This requirement will be verified by the City Engineer's office prior to recordation of such
a final map. Second, Community Development Department staff will insure ARC and staff level

• Specific Plan applicants shall submit for review by the Community
Development Department and Air Pollution Control District (APCD) staff a
grading plan showing the area to be disturbed and a description of construction
equipment that will be used and pollution reduction measures that will be
implemented. Upon confirmation by the Community Development
Department and APCD, appropriate CBACT features shall be applied. The
application of these features shall occur prior to Specific Plan construction.
• Specific Plan applicants shall be required to ensure that all
construction equipment and portable engines are properly maintained and tuned
according to manufacturer's specifications.
• Specific Plan applicants shall be required to ensure that off -road and
portable diesel powered equipment, including but not limited to bulldozers,
graders, cranes, loaders, scrapers, backhoes, generator sets, compressors,

diesel fuel (non -taxed off -road diesel is acceptable).
• Specific Plan applicants shall be required to install a diesel oxidation catalyst
on each of the two pieces of equipment projected to generate the greatest
emissions. Installations must be prepared according to manufacturer's
specifications.
AQ -3(b) Dust Control. The following measures shall be implemented to reduce
PM 10 emissions during all Specific Plan construction:
• Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible.
• Use water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent
airborne dust from leaving the site. Water shall be applied as soon as possible
whenever wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour. Reclaimed (nonpotable) water
should be used whenever possible.
• All dirt- stock -pile areas shall be sprayed daily as needed.
• Permanent dust control measures shall be identified in the approved Specific
Plan revegetation and landscape plans and implemented as soon as possible
following completion of any soil disturbing activities.
• Exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked at dates greater than
one month after initial grading shall be sown with a fast - germinating native
grass seed and watered until vegetation is established.
• All disturbed soil areas not subject to revegetation shall be stabilized
using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods
approved in advance by the APCD.
• All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc., to be paved shall be completed as
soon as possible. In addition, building pads shall be laid as soon as possible
after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
• Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on
any unpaved surface at the construction site.
• All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil or other loose materials shall be covered or
shall maintain at least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between
top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 23114.

Page 5
• Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets,
or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site.
• Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried
onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water shall be used
where feasible.
AQ -3(c) Cover Stockpiled Soils. If importation, exportation, or stockpiling of fill material
is involved, soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or
treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation. Trucks transporting material
shall be tarped from the point of origin.
AQ -3(d) Dust Control Monitor. On all projects with an area of disturbance greater than
1 acre, the contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor the
dust control program and to order increased watering as necessary to prevent
transport of dust off -site. Their duties shall include holiday and weekend periods
when work may not be in progress.
• AQ -3 Monitoring Program:
These conditions shall be noted on all project grading and building plans. The applicant will
also be required to secure necessary permits from the Air Pollution Control Board (APCD)
before the onset of grading or demolition activities including, but not limited to additional dust
control measures, evaluation for Naturally Occurring Asbestos. The applicant shall present
evidence of a plan for complying with these requirements prior to issuance of a grading or
building permit from the City. The applicant shall provide the City with the name and
telephone number of the person responsible for ensuring compliance with these requirements.
The Building Inspector and Public Works Inspectors shall conduct field monitoring.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES MITIGATION
B -3(a) Construction Requirements. Development under the Specific Plan shall abide
by the requirements of the City Arborist for construction. Requirements shall
include but not be limited to: the protection of trees with construction setbacks from
trees; construction fencing around trees; grading limits around the base of trees as
required; and a replacement plan for trees removed including replacement at a
minimum 1:1 ratio.
134(c) Riparian/ Wetland Mitigation. If riparian and /or wetland habitat are proposed
for removal pursuant to development under the Specific Plan, such development
shall apply for all applicable permits and submit a Mitigation Plan for areas of
disturbance to wetlands and /or riparian habitat. The plan shall be prepared by a
biologist familiar with restoration and mitigation techniques. Compensatory
mitigation shall occur on- site using regionally collected native plant material at a
minimum ratio of 2:1 (habitat created to habitat impacted) in areas shown on figure
4.4 -2 as directed by a biologist. The resource agencies may require a higher
mitigation ratio. If the Orcutt Regional Basin is necessary as a mitigation site for
Resolution No. 10618 (2015 Series)
Page 6
waters of the U.S. and State it shall be designed as directed by a biologist taking
into consideration hydrology, soils, and erosion control and using the final
mitigation guidelines and monitoring requirements (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
2004). As noted above, the trail shall be setback out of the buffer area for riparian
and wetland habitat.
B -5(a) Bird Pre - Construction Survey. To avoid impacts to nesting special- status bird
species and raptors including the ground- nesting burrowing owl, all initial
ground- disturbing activities and tree removal shall be limited to the time period
between September 15 and February 1. If initial site disturbance, grading, and
tree removal cannot be conducted during this time period, a pre- construction
survey for active nests within the limits of grading shall be conducted by a
qualified biologist at the site two weeks prior to any construction activities (for
ground- nesting burrowing owl survey see below). If active nests are located, all
construction work must be conducted outside a buffer zone of 200 feet to 500
feet from the nests as determined in consultation with the CDFG. No direct
disturbance to nests shall occur until the adults and young are no longer reliant
on the nest site. A qualified biologist shall confirm that breeding /nesting is
completed and young have fledged the nest prior to the start of construction.
B -5(b) Burrowing Owl Survey. When an applicant requests entitlements from the City
under the Specific Plan a qualified biologist shall conduct surveys for burrowing
owls during both the wintering and nesting seasons (unless the species is detected
on the first survey) in potentially suitable habitats prior to construction in
accordance with the guidelines described in the CDFG Staff Report on Burrowing
Owl Mitigation (1995). Winter surveys shall be conducted on the entire project site
between December 1 and February 1, and the nesting season survey shall be
conducted between April 15 and July 15. If burrowing owls are detected within the
proposed disturbance area, CDFG shall be contacted immediately to develop and
implement a mitigation plan to protect owls and their nest sites.
B -5(c) Monarch Pre - Construction Survey. If initial ground- breaking is to occur
between the months of October and March a pre- construction survey for active
monarch roost sites within the limits of grading shall be conducted by a qualified
biologist at the site two weeks prior to any construction activities. If active roost
sites are located no ground- disturbing activities shall occur within 50 feet of the
perimeter of the habitat. Construction shall not resume within the setback until a
qualified biologist has determined that the monarch butterfly has vacated the site.
B -5(d) VPFS Sampling Surveys. Prior to development in areas shown as potential VPFS
habitat on Figure 4.4 -2, current USFWS protocol level sampling surveys shall be
conducted in all such areas. A report consistent with current Federal, State, and
local reporting guidelines shall be prepared to document the methods and results of
surveys. If VPFS are found, the report shall include a map that identifies the VPFS
locations. Should the presence of additional special- status wildlife species be
determined including California linderiella, a map identifying locations in which
Resolution No. 10618 (2015 Series)
Page 7
these species were found shall be prepared and included in the report.
B -5(e) FESA Consultation and Mitigation Regarding VPFS. If any VPFS individuals
are located onsite pursuant to Mitigation Measure B -5(d), substantial setbacks from
their identified habitat shall be implemented to avoid take of a Federally listed
species. If complete avoidance is not economically or technically feasible, then
Section 10 of the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) shall be used to
authorize incidental take when no other Federal agency such as the Corps is
involved. This process includes development of a Habitat Conservation Plan for
protecting and enhancing the Federally listed species at a specific location in
perpetuity. Species take can also be authorized under Section 7 of the FESA if a
Federal agency is involved in the project (e.g., Corps Section 404 permitting for
impacts to waters of the U.S. and /or Federal funding) and agrees to be the lead
agency requesting Section 7 consultation. This consultation process takes at a
minimum 135 days from the official request by the Federal lead agency.
The compensatory mitigation ratio shall be determined by the appropriate resource
agencies. Suitable replacement habitat shall be constructed either within the site
boundaries or offsite. [OASP FEIR] Figure 4.4 -2 identifies areas that could be
appropriate for onsite VPFS mitigation. Figure 4.4 -2 is not intended to preclude
development but shall be used as a starting point for incorporating VPFS mitigation
sites into the development plan. While the Orcutt Regional Basin included in the
potential VPFS mitigation sites may need regular maintenance and may be
seasonally flooded, depressions could be created on the upper edges of the terrace
in such a manner that they are protected from flooding. VPFS mitigation areas
shall be approved by a biologist familiar with VPFS habitat "creation" techniques.
Enhancement of the onsite seasonal freshwater wetland habitat that is undisturbed
by project activities may also be a part of the mitigation program. Alternatively,
fairy shrimp cysts could be collected during the dry season from the existing
habitat and placed into storage. Topsoil could also be removed and stored in
conditions suitable to retain cysts. Wetland habitat could be enhanced /created in
the areas shown on Figure 4.4 -2 by grading depressions in the landscape and "top
dressing" the depressions with the preserved topsoil. Preserved cysts would be
added to the recreated wetlands in December or January, after sufficient ponding
has occurred.
It is important to note that VPFS habitat mitigation is still considered
experimental. VPFS habitat mitigation is ambitious as it is costly, labor
intensive, and difficult to ensure success. Habitat may be "created" only in an
existing vernal pool landscape that provides suitable soils and a number of other
specific ecological factors (USFWS, 2004).
An alternative to onsite mitigation is the purchase of mitigation bank credits.
Credits can be purchase by the acre as suitable mitigation for VPFS. There is
currently no known mitigation bank with VPFS habitat occurring within San Luis
Obispo County, however, mitigation banks may be available in the future.

• B -3a, B -4c, B -5 Monitoring Program:
Monitoring will include Natural Resources Department staff consultation and implementation
at time of review and prior to approval of grading plan(s) and during tract construction (B -3a,
B -4c, B -5).
B -6(c) Educational Pet Brochure. Any development pursuant to the Specific Plan
shall prepare a brochure that informs prospective homebuyers and Home Owners
Association (HOA) members about the impacts associated with non- native
animals, especially cats and dogs, to the project site; similarly, the brochure must
inform potential homebuyers and all HOA members of the potential for coyotes to
prey on domestic animals.
B -6(c) Landscaping Plan Review. To ensure that project landscaping does not introduce
invasive non - native plant and tree species to the region of the site, the final
landscaping plan shall be reviewed and approved by a qualified biologist. The
California Invasive Plant Council (Cal -IPC) maintains several lists of the most
important invasive plants to avoid. The lists shall be used when creating a
plant palette for landscaping to ensure that plants on the lists are not used. The
following plants shall not be allowed as part of potential landscaping plans pursuant
to development under the Specific Plan:
• African sumac (Rhus lancea)
• Australian saltbush (Atriplex semibaccata)
• Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia)

Compliance with mitigation measures will be reviewed with landscaping plans as part of the
architectural review submittal and ultimately shown on improvement plans and construction
drawings.
CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION
CR -1(d) Archaeological Resource Construction Monitoring. At the commencement
of project construction, an orientation meeting shall be conducted by an
archaeologist for construction workers associated with earth disturbing procedures.
The orientation meeting shall describe the possibility of exposing unexpected
archaeological resources and directions as to what steps are to be taken if such a
find is encountered.
An archaeologist shall monitor construction grading within 50 meters (164 feet)
of the two isolated finds. In the event that prehistoric or historic archaeological
resources are exposed during project construction, all earth disturbing work within
50 meters (164 feet) of the find must be temporarily suspended or redirected until
an archaeologist has evaluated the nature and significance of the find. After the find
has been appropriately mitigated (e.g., curation, preservation in place, etc.), work in
the area may resume. The City should consider retaining a Chumash representative
to monitor any field work associated with Native American cultural material.
If human remains are exposed, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5
requires that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made
the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 5097.98.
• CR -1 d Monitoring Program:
Requirements for cultural resource mitigation shall be clearly noted on all plans for
project grading and construction.
DRAINAGE AND WATER QUALITY MITIGATION
D -2(a) Vegetative and Biotechnical Approaches to Bank Stabilization. Vegetative or
biotechnical (also referred to as soil bioengineering) approaches to bank
stabilization are preferred over structural approaches. Bank stabilization design
must be consistent with the SLO Creek Stream Management and Maintenance
Program Section 6. Streambank stabilization usually involves one or a combination
of the following activities:
• Regrading and revegetating the streambanks to eliminate overhanging banks
and create a more stable slope;
• Deflecting erosional water flow away from vulnerable sites;
Resolution No. 10618 (2015 Series)
Page 10
• Reducing the steepness of the channel bed through installation of
grade stabilization structures;
• Altering the geometry of the channel to influence flow velocities and
sediment deposition;
• Diverting a portion of the higher flow into a secondary or by -pass channel;
• Armoring or protecting the bank to control erosion, particularly at the toe
of slopes.
The bank stabilization design will:
• Be stable over the long term;
• Be the least environmentally damaging and the "softest" approach possible;
• Not create upstream or downstream flooding or induce other local
stream instabilities;
• Minimize impacts to aquatic and riparian habitat.
D -2(e) Riparian Zone Planting. The OASP proposes riparian enhancement of creek
corridors. Section 11 guidelines of the SLO Creek Drainage Design Manual shall be
followed for riparian areas that are modified, created and /or managed for
flood damage reduction, stream enhancement, and bank repair. Linear park terrace
vegetation, streambank repair and channel maintenance projects may require stream
channel modifications that include shaping, widening, deepening, straightening, and
armoring. Many channel management projects also require building access roads
for maintenance vehicles and other equipment. These construction activities can
cause a variety of impacts to existing sensitive riparian and aquatic habitat that,
depending on the selected design alternative, range from slight disturbances to
complete removal of desirable woody vegetation and faunal communities. In urban
areas within the SLO creek watershed, riparian vegetation often provides the only
remaining natural habitat available for wildlife populations.
D -5(a) Biofilters. The applicant shall submit to the Director of Community
Development for review and approval a plan that incorporates grassed swales
(biofilters) into the project drainage system where feasible for runoff conveyance
and filtering of pollutants.
D -5(e) Pervious Paving Material. Consistent with Land Use Element Policy 6.4.7, the
applicant shall be encouraged to use pervious paving material to facilitate rainwater
percolation. Parking lots and paved outdoor storage areas shall, where feasible, use
pervious paving to reduce surface water runoff and aid in groundwater recharge.
- D -2a, D -2c, D -5a, D -5c Monitoring Program:
Monitoring will include Natural Resources Department staff consultation and implementation
at time of landscaping construction plan review and Engineering - Public Works staff at the
time of tract construction.

NOISE MITIGATION
N -1(a) Compliance with City Noise Ordinance. Construction hours and noise levels
shall be compliant with the City Noise Ordinance [Municipal Code Chapter 9.12,
Section
9.12.050(6)]. Methods to reduce construction noise can include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• Equipment Shielding. Stationary construction equipment that generates noise
can be shielded with a barrier.
• Diesel Equipment. All diesel equipment can be operated with closed engine
doors and equipped with factory- recommended mufflers.
