ACTION: MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHRISTIANSON, SECOND BY
COUNCIL MEMBER PEASE, CARRIED 5-0 to:
1. Advance the formation of the Avila Ranch Community Facilities District (CFD) by
adopting Resolution No. 10844 (2017 Series) As amended: entitled “A Resolution of the
City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, establishing Avila Ranch
Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community
Facilities Act of 1982 and, in its capacity as legislative body of such district, submitting
the levy of a special tax and the establishment of an appropriations limit to the electors of
Packet Pg 88

San Luis Obispo City Council Minutes of October 24, 2017 Page 7
the district to include additional language to end of Section 17 (Environmental
Determination) of the Council Resolution to incorporate these additional findings as
follows: “The City Council further finds on a wholly independent basis that the formation
and implementation of a CFD for the Avila Ranch project is categorically exempt from
CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 (Information Collection) and that the
action otherwise qualifies for a “general rule” exemption pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3), which covers activities “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”
The proposed action is intended to implement aspects of that project by establishing a
funding mechanism through the formation of a CFD. This action does not change any
aspect of the approved Avila Ranch project, nor does it introduce the potential for any
new environmental impacts. Under Section 15306, the Secretary for the California
Natural Resources Agency has concluded that “basic data collection, research…and
resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an
environmental resource” are exempt from CEQA. Further, it exempts actions that are
“…for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a
public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded.” The formation of a CFD
qualifies with respect to these criteria. Therefore, the proposed action is categorically
exempt from further analysis under CEQA.”
and adopting an addendum to the final environmental impact report for the Avila Ranch
Development,” as amended to include language in Section C to read as follows: “A
Notice of Determination (NOD) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15075 was filed
on September 20, 2017, following project approval. This began a 30-day period during
which any potential court challenges to the project could have been filed. On October 19,
2017, an action challenging the validity of the EIR was filed in the Superior Court,
County of San Luis Obispo, as Case No. 17CV-0573. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15231(a), the EIR is conclusively presumed to comply with CEQA for purposes of
use until the EIR is finally adjudicated in a legal proceeding not to comply with the
requirements of CEQA. No such determination has been made; and
2. Set the date for the required (landowner) election for October 26, 2017.
