Resolution No. 11226 (2021 Series) Page 2
R 11226
1. As conditioned, the project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of
persons living or working at the site or in the vicinity because the project respects site
constraints and will be compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood.
2. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element Policy 1.8.6, which
calls for ensuring that continuous wildlife habitats are preserved, because the proposed
neighborhood park uses would maintain required setbacks from on-site creek and
riparian corridor areas, as well as install fencing between park activity use areas and
the riparian corridor.
3. The project is consistent with the General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element
Policy 2.2.4 because the project promotes the use of alternative modes of transportation
such as walking and biking through the provision of pedestrian infrastructure
improvements and bicycle racks.
4. The project is consistent with the General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element
Policy 9.1.1 because all proposed structural components would be visually subordinate
and compatible with the existing natural landscape features of the project site.
5. The project is consistent with the Zoning Regulations for the Public Facility (PF) Zone
because the project is consistent with the intended uses to be developed within the PF
zone and has been designed in compliance with the applicable development standards
including setbacks, lot coverage, and building height.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(IS/MND) has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental effects of the proposed project. Based upon all
evidence, the City Council hereby adopts the Final IS/MND (SCH#2020120448), and adopts the
following CEQA Findings in support of all entitlements related to the North Broad Street
Neighborhood Park project:
1. The North Broad Street Neighborhood Park Project IS-MND was prepared in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State
CEQA Guidelines, adequately addressing impacts associated with the proposed
project; and
2. Minor modifications made to the IS/MND in response to public comments and
Planning Commission direction to add safety lighting do not require recirculation of
the IS/MND because the edits to the IS/MND regarding lighting constitute minor
modifications and clarifications to an adequate MND and do not include significant
new information that would result in a new significant environmental impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of a significant environmental impact; and
3. All potentially significant effects were analyzed adequately in the referenced IS/MND,
subject to the following mitigation measures being incorporated into the project and
the mitigation monitoring program:
Resolution No. 11226 (2021 Series) Page 3
R 11226
Air Quality
AQ-1 The following measures shall be implemented to minimize construction-generated
emissions. These measures shall be shown on grading and building plans:
a. Construction of the proposed project shall use low-VOC content paints not exceeding
50 grams per liter.
b. To the extent locally available, prefinished building materials or materials that do not
require the application of architectural coatings shall be used.
c. Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible.
d. Use water trucks, APCD approved dust suppressants (see Section 4.3 in the CEQA Air
Quality Handbook), or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne
dust from leaving the site and from exceeding the District’s limit of 20% opacity for
greater than 3 minutes in any 60-minute period. Increased watering frequency would
be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non-potable) water
should be used whenever possible. Please note that since water use is a concern due to
drought conditions, the contractor or builder shall consider the use of an APCD-
approved dust suppressant where feasible to reduce the amount of water used for dust
control. For a list of suppressants, see Section 4.3 of the CEQA Air Quality Handbook.
e. All dirt stock-pile areas should be sprayed daily as needed.
f. Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved project revegetation and
landscape plans should be implemented as soon as possible following completion of
any soil disturbing activities;
g. Exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked at dates greater than one month
after initial grading should be sown with a fast germinating, non-invasive grass seed
and watered until vegetation is established.
h. All disturbed soil areas not subject to revegetation should be stabilized using approved
chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the
SLOAPCD.
i. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved should be completed as soon as
possible. In addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading
unless seeding or soil binders are used.
j. Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved
surface at the construction site.
k. All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials are to be covered or should
maintain at least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load
and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 23114.
l. Install wheel washers at the construction site entrance, wash off the tires or tracks of
all trucks and equipment leaving the site, or implement other SLOAPCD-approved
methods sufficient to minimize the track-out of soil onto paved roadways.
m. Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent
paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water should be used where feasible.
Resolution No. 11226 (2021 Series) Page 4
R 11226
n. The burning of vegetative material shall be prohibited. Effective February 25, 2000,
the APCD prohibited developmental burning of vegetative material within San Luis
Obispo County. If you have any questions regarding these requirements, contact the
SLOAPCD Engineering & Compliance Division at (805) 781-5912.
o. The contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor the fugitive
dust emissions and enhance the implementation of the measures as necessary to
minimize dust complaints, reduce visible emissions below 20% opacity, and to prevent
transport of dust offsite. Their duties shall include holidays and weekend periods when
work may not be in progress. The name and telephone number of such persons shall be
provided to the SLOAPCD Compliance Division prior to the start of any grading,
earthwork or demolition.
p. When applicable, portable equipment, 50 horsepower (hp) or greater, used during
construction activities shall be registered with the California statewide portable
equipment registration program (issued by the California Air Resources Board) or be
permitted by the APCD. Such equipment may include: power screens, conveyors,
internal combustion engines, crushers, portable generators, tub grinders, trammel
screens, and portable plants (e.g, aggregate plant, asphalt plant, concrete plant). For
more information, contact the SLOAPCD Engineering & Compliance Division at (805)
781-5912.
AQ-2 The following measures shall be implemented to reduce expose of sensitive receptors to
substantial pollutant concentrations. These measures shall be shown on grading and
building plans:
a. On-road diesel vehicles shall comply with Section 2485 of Title 13 of the California
Code of Regulations. This regulation limits idling from diesel-fueled commercial
motor vehicles with gross vehicular weight ratings of more than 10,000 pounds and
licensed for operation on highways. It applies to California and non-California based
vehicles. In general, the regulation specifies that drivers of said vehicles:
b. Shall not idle the vehicle’s primary diesel engine for greater than 5 minutes at any
location, except as noted in Subsection (d) of the regulation; and,
c. Shall not operate a diesel-fueled auxiliary power system to power a heater, air
conditioner, or any ancillary equipment on that vehicle during sleeping or resting in a
sleeper berth for greater than 5.0 minutes at any location when within 1,000 feet of a
restricted area, except as noted in Subsection (d) of the regulation.
d. Maintain all construction equipment in proper tune according to manufacturer’s
specifications;
e. Fuel all off-road and portable diesel-powered equipment with ARB certified motor
vehicle diesel fuel (non-taxed version suitable for use off-road);
f. Use diesel construction equipment meeting ARB's Tier 2 certified engines or cleaner
off-road heavy-duty diesel engines, and comply with the State Off-Road Regulation;
g. Idling of all on and off-road diesel-fueled vehicles shall not be permitted when not in
use. Signs shall be posted in the designated queuing areas and or job site to remind
drivers and operators of the no idling limitation.
Resolution No. 11226 (2021 Series) Page 5
R 11226
h. Electrify equipment when possible;
i. Substitute gasoline-powered in place of diesel -powered equipment, when available;
and,
j. Use alternatively fueled construction equipment on-site when available, such as
compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), propane or biodiesel.
AQ-3 Prior to any grading activities a geologic evaluation shall be conducted to determine if
naturally-occurring asbestos (NOA) is present within the area that will be disturbed. If
NOA is not present, an exemption request must be filed with the SLOAPCD. If NOA is
found at the site, the applicant must comply with all requirements outlined in the Asbestos
ATCM. These requirements may include but are not limited to:
a. Development of an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan which must be approved by the
SLOAPCD before operations begin, and,
b. Development and approval of an Asbestos Health and Safety Program (required for
some projects).
If NOA is not present, an exemption request must be filed with the SLOAPCD. More
information on NOA can be found at http://www.slocleanair.org/rules-
regulations/asbestos/noa.php.
AQ-4 An odor-control plan shall be prepared for the project. The plan shall incorporate odor
management practices to reduce odor-generation potential associated with onsite
composting activities. Such practices shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Composting materials shall be turned on a frequent basis sufficient to maintain proper
aeration.
b. Moisture content of the composting materials shall be monitored to ensure
consistent/proper moisture content.
c. Ensure composting materials maintain an adequate mix of brown (e.g., paper) and
green material.
Monitoring Program: These measures shall be incorporated into project grading and building
plans for review and approval by the City Community Development Department. Compliance shall
be verified by the City during regular inspections, in coordination with the County of San Luis
Obispo Air Pollution Control District, as necessary.

Biological Resources
BR-1 If tree removal or site disturbance is necessary during the fall and winter monarch butterfly
migration (late October through February), a qualified biologist shall conduct a
preconstruction survey for monarch butterflies that could utilize trees on-site for
overwintering. If monarch butterflies are detected in the work area or within 300 feet of
the work area, tree removal shall be postponed until after the overwintering period or until
a qualified biologist determines monarch butterflies are no longer utilizing the trees on or
within 300 feet of the site for overwintering.
BR-2 Vegetation removal shall be scheduled to occur outside the nesting bird season (February
15 to September 15), if feasible. If vegetation removal occurs between February 15 and
September 15, the City shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a nesting bird survey
no more than 2 weeks prior to disturbance to determine presence/absence of nesting birds
within the disturbance area. If active nests are observed, vegetation removal shall be
avoided within 100 feet of active passerine nests and 300 feet of active raptor nests until
young birds have fledged and left the nest. The nests shall be monitored weekly by a
biologist with experience with nesting birds. The buffer may be reduced if deemed
appropriate by the biologist. If any federally or state-listed bird species or California fully
protected bird species are observed nesting in or near the project area, the biologist and the
City of San Luis Obispo shall coordinate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or
California Department of Fish and Wildlife before any disturbances occur within 500 feet
of the nest.
Readily visible exclusion zones will be established in areas where nests must be avoided.
The City of San Luis Obispo shall be contacted if any federally or state-listed bird species
are observed during surveys. Bird nests, eggs, or young covered by the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code shall not be moved or disturbed until the
end of the nesting season or until young fledge, nor will adult birds be killed, injured, or
harassed at any time. Pursuant to California Fish and Game Code Section 3503.5, nests of
raptors (owls, hawks, falcons, eagles) shall not be removed prior to coordination with and
approval from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
BR-3 The City of San Luis Obispo shall retain a biologist to conduct roosting bat surveys prior
to any tree removal. Pre-disturbance surveys for bats shall include one daytime and one
dusk survey no more than 30 days prior to the tree removal to determine if bats are roosting
in the trees. The biologist(s) conducting the preconstruction surveys shall identify the
nature of the bat utilization of the area (i.e., no roosting, night roost, day roost, maternity
roost). If bats are found to be roosting in the trees to be removed, the City of San Luis
Obispo shall delay the tree removal until the bats have left the area.
BR-4 Removal of the 40-inch diameter at breast height Monterey cypress tree located at the top-
of-bank of Old Garden Creek shall be avoided, if feasible. If removal cannot feasibly be
avoided, the City shall pursue a Streambed Alteration Agreement with CDFW prior to
removing the tree. The following avoidance and minimization measures are anticipated to
be included in the Streambed Alteration Agreement and are therefore incorporated into the
proposed project per CEQA. Should any of these measures conflict with the Streambed
Alteration Agreement, the Streambed Alteration Agreement shall take precedence over
these measures. If any of the following measures are not included in the Streambed
Resolution No. 11226 (2021 Series) Page 7
R 11226
Alteration Agreement, the measures will be required in addition to the measures provided
in the Streambed Alteration Agreement.
• Tree and vegetation removal from within the top-of-bank shall be prohibited during
rain or within 24 hours following significant rainfall. Significant rainfall is defined
as rainfall totaling one-half inch (0.5-inch) of rain in any 24-hour period.
• All vegetation removal within the top-of-bank shall be conducted during daylight
hours.
• Prior to vegetation removal from within the top-of-bank, the City shall identify the
limits of access routes and encroachment into the riparian area to the minimum
disturbance required to conduct the vegetation removal. The “work area limits”
shall be clearly marked in the field with highly visible flagging or fencing. The
flagging or fencing shall be maintained in good repair for the duration of activities
occurring in the top-of-bank. All areas beyond the identified work area limits shall
be considered Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) and shall not be disturbed.
• The aquatic areas within the creeks shall be avoided. Project activities within the
aquatic portions of the creeks are prohibited. No work within the channel of the
creek shall occur.
• Prior to construction, a qualified biologist shall conduct training sessions to
familiarize all construction personal with the project conditions, limits of
disturbance, special-status species with potential to occur in the work areas, general
provisions and protections afforded by the state and federal endangered species acts,
the Clean Water Act, Porter Cologne Water Quality Act, and California Fish and
Game Code.
• The disturbance or removal of vegetation shall not exceed the minimum necessary
to complete the project and shall only occur with the defined work areas. The
disturbed portions of the stream bank shall be restored to as near their original
condition as possible.
• Prior to initiation of project activities, all trees to be cut or removed shall be clearly
identified and marked to avoid accidentally removing trees that should be avoided.
• The City shall document the number and species of all riparian woody-stemmed
plants in excess of four (4) inches DBH that are cut, removed, or damaged during
project activities within the top-of-bank. Riparian trees and shrubs with a DBH of
four inches or greater that are damaged or removed shall be replaced by replanting
appropriate native species at a 3:1 ratio (replaced to lost). The replacement
trees/shrubs shall be maintained by the City for three years to ensure survival. If any
of the replacement trees are lost, the lost trees shall be replaced.
• Staging and storage areas for equipment, materials, fuels, lubricant, and solvents
shall be located at least 50-feet from the top-of-bank. All fueling and maintenance
of vehicles or other equipment shall be prohibited outside of the designated staging
and storage areas.
Resolution No. 11226 (2021 Series) Page 8
R 11226
• Upon completion of construction, all disturbed soils shall be stabilized using
generally-accepted erosion and sediment control practices such as crimped straw
and seeds, jute netting, or other appropriate measures. If any mats or netting are
used, said mats or netting shall contain only natural fiber materials. Nylon or other
synthetic materials shall not be used in mats or netting. All disturbed areas shall be
revegetated with riparian or upland vegetation, as appropriate.
• All Project-generated debris, building materials, and rubbish shall be removed from
the stream and from areas where such materials could be washed into the stream.
BR-5 Prior to any ground disturbing activities, adequate protection measures (e.g., sturdy
fencing), shall be installed to protect those trees identified on the final site plans to remain
unharmed as well as to minimize impacts for those trees identified as being impacted.
Protection measures shall remain in good working order during construction.
BR-6 Prior to approval of construction permits, to minimize potential sedimentation within Old
Garden Creek and Stenner Creek, a sedimentation and erosion control plan shall be
prepared that incorporates adequate best management practices to minimize the amount of
sediment that would be deposited in Old Garden Creek and Stenner Creek. At a minimum,
straw wattles (or comparably effective devices) shall be placed on the downslope sides of
the proposed work which would direct flows into temporary sedimentation basins. During
construction/improvements, the applicant shall check and maintain these measures
regularly and after all larger storm events. All necessary remedial work and/or repairs shall
be done immediately after the need for such work is identified.
Monitoring Program: These conditions and measures shall be noted on all grading and
construction plans. The City Community Development Department and Natural Resources
Manager shall verify compliance.
Cultural Resources
CR-1 Prior to issuance of grading or building permits, an Archaeological Monitoring Plan shall
be prepared. The Plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

CR-2 The City shall retain an archaeologist and local Native American observer to monitor
Project-related ground-disturbing activities that have the potential to encounter previously
unidentified archaeological resources, as outlined in the Archaeological Monitoring Plan.
Archaeological and tribal monitoring may cease only if the City-approved archaeologist
determines in coordination with the City Project Manager, Community Development
Director and the Native American monitor that Project activities do not have the potential
to encounter and/or disturb unknown resources.
CR-3 Prior to initial ground disturbance activities, the City-approved archaeologist shall conduct
a brief construction worker awareness training for all construction personnel, pursuant to
the approved Archaeological Monitoring Plan. This training shall include, but not be
limited to, the following information:
a. A detailed description of the potential types of archaeological resources that could be
encountered during project excavations;
b. The relevant environmental laws and penalties;
c. Best management practices;
d. Responsibilities of project personnel; and
e. Who to contact in the event of an inadvertent discovery, inclusive of local Native
American tribes.
CR-4 In the event that historical or archaeological remains are discovered during earth-disturbing
activities associated with the project, an immediate halt work order shall be issued and the
City Project Manager and Community Development Director shall be notified. A qualified
archaeologist shall conduct an assessment of the resources and formulate proper mitigation
measures, if necessary. After the find has been appropriately mitigated, work in the area
may resume.
CR-5 In the event that human remains are exposed during earth-disturbing activities associated
with the project, an immediate halt work order shall be issued and the City Project Manager
and City Community Development Director shall be notified. State Health and Safety Code
Section 7050.5 requires that no further disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably
suspected to overlie adjacent human remains shall occur until the County Coroner has made
the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 5097.98. If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the
coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours. These
requirements shall be noted on the project’s construction plans.
Monitoring Program: These conditions shall be noted on all grading and construction plans. The
City Community Development Department shall verify compliance, including preparation and
implementation of the Monitoring Plan, and review and approval of cultural resources monitoring
reports documenting compliance with required mitigation measures.
