WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the
manner required by law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council approve the project (SBDV-0169-2020,
& EID-0170-2020), based on the following findings:
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 surrounding
neighborhoods.
2. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the General Plan because:
a. The Land Use Element provides that the purpose of the Low -Density
Residential land use designation is to provide for single family detached
dwellings, which the subdivision is designed and intended to accommodate,
and complies with the maximum density limit of seven density units per
acre.
b. The project is consistent with Land Use Element Policies 2.2.3 and 2.2.4,
Circulation Element Policy 5.1.3, and Housing Element Policy 7.3 because
the design of the subdivision protects the existing neighborhood from
intrusive traffic by avoiding any increase in cut-through traffic between other
existing neighborhoods and Highway 1 and by incorporating a potential
bicycle and pedestrian connection to the east, as well as parkway s, on-
street parking, and sidewalks with proposed streets.
c. The project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy 2.3.5 because the
design of the subdivision integrates with the existing neighborhood by
continuing the street layout of Stanford Drive and C uesta Drive, including
street width, sidewalks, and parkways.
d. The project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy 4.2.1 because the
project respects the separation from creek banks by identifying the
dimensions of the creek and existing riparian area. The lots proposed
adjacent to the creek are a larger size (24,451 to 7,884 square feet) so that
creek protection measures, such as compliance with creek setback
requirements, can be met and still allow residential development within the
created parcels. The project also proposes no development or grading
activities in the southwest corner of the site, where the creek and associated
vegetation is most prominent and established.

Resolution No. 11275 (2021 Series) Page 3
R 11275
e. The project is consistent with Housing Element Policy 6.8 because the
project will facilitate residential infill development.
f. The project is consistent with Conservation and Open Space Element Policy
7.7.9 because building envelopes, streets, and driveways, are separated
from the creek by the inclusion of a 20-foot creek setback applied to the
project for such improvements, even though the onsite creek is not subject
to creek setback standards.
3. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or
natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision because the project has
demonstrated that development of the proposed lots can be achieved in compliance
with the setback standards of the Zoning Regulations, which are intended to help
provide air circulation and exposure to sunlight.
4. As conditioned, the subdivision and associated tree removals are consistent with the
City’s Tree Regulations because the project will be required to provide compensatory
tree plantings at a rate consistent with Municipal Code requirements with a size and
species of tree found to be appropriate by the Tree Committee.
5. The design of the tentative map and proposed improvements are not likely to cause
serious health problems or substantial environmental damage since further
development or redevelopment of the proposed parcels will occur consistent with the
City’s Development Standards, Engineering Standards, Mitigation Measures, and
Conditions of Approval.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The City Council hereby adopts the proposed
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) of Environmental Impact, based on
incorporation of the following mitigation measures, which will reduce potential
environmental impacts to less than significant .
Air Quality
AQ-1 Idling Control Techniques. During all construction activities and use of diesel
vehicles, the applicant shall implement the following idling control techniques:
1. Idling Restrictions Near Sensitive Receptors for Both On- and Off-Road
Equipment.
a. Staging and queuing areas shall not be located within 1,000 feet
of sensitive receptors if feasible;
b. Diesel idling within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors shall not be
permitted;
c. Use of alternative-fueled equipment shall be used whenever
possible; and
d. Signs that specify the no idling requirements shall be posted and
enforced at the construction site.

2. California Diesel Idling Regulations. On-road diesel vehicles shall
comply with 13 CCR 2485. 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:
a. 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
b. Shall not operate a diesel-fueled auxiliary power system (APS) 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 minutes at any location when within 1,000 feet of a
restricted area, except as noted in Subsection (d) of the
regulation.
Signs must be posted in the designated queuing areas and job sites to remind
drivers of the 5-minute idling limit. The specific requirements and exceptions in
the regulation can be reviewed at the following website:
www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truck-idling/2485.pdf.
AQ-2 Particulate Matter Control Measures. During all construction and ground-
disturbing activities, the applicant shall implement the following particulate matter
control measures and detail each measure on the project gradi ng and building
plans:
1. Reduce the amount of disturbed area where possible.
2. Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to
prevent airborne dust from leaving the site and from exceeding the
SLOAPCD’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 miles per hour (mph). Reclaimed
(non-potable) water should be used whenever possible.
3. All dirt stockpile areas (if any) shall be sprayed daily and covered with
tarps or other dust barriers as needed.
4. Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved project
revegetation and landscape plans shall be implemented as soon as
possible, following completion of any soil-disturbing activities.
5. Exposed grounds that are planned to be reworked at dates greater than
1 month after initial grading shall be sown with a fast germinating, non-
invasive, grass seed and watered until vegetation is established.
6. 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 SLOAPCD.

R 11275
7. 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.
8. Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on
any unpaved surface at the construction site.
9. All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or oth er loose materials are to be
covered or shall maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard (minimum vertical
distance between top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with
California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 23114.
10. “Track out” is defined as sand or soil t hat adheres to and/or
agglomerates on the exterior surfaces of motor vehicles and/or
equipment (including tires) that may then fall onto any highway or street
as described in CVC Section 23113 and California Water Code (CWC)
Section 13304. To prevent track out, designate access points and
require all employees, subcontractors, and others to use them. Install
and operate a “track-out prevention device” where vehicles enter and
exit unpaved roads onto paved streets. The track-out prevention device
can be any device or combination of devices that are effective at
preventing track out, located at the point of intersection of an unpaved
area and a paved road. Rumble strips or steel plate devices need
periodic cleaning to be effective. If paved roadways accumulate tracked-
out soils, the track-out prevention device may need to be modified.
11. Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried
onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers shall be used with
reclaimed water where feasible. Roads shall b e pre-wetted prior to
sweeping when feasible.
12. All PM10 mitigation measures required should be shown on grading and
building plans.
13. The contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons whose
responsibility is to ensure any fugitive dust emissions do not result in a
nuisance and to enhance the implementation of the mitigation measures
as necessary to minimize dust complaints and reduce visible emissions
below the SLOAPCD’s limit of 20% opacity for greater than 3 minutes in
any 60-minute period. Their duties shall include holidays and weekend
periods when work may not be in progress (for example, wind -blown
dust could be generated on an open dirt lot). 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
(Contact Tim Fuhs at 805-781-5912).
AQ-3 Geologic Evaluation. Prior to initiation of ground-disturbing activities, the
applicant shall retain a registered geologist to conduct a geologic evaluatio n of
the property, including sampling and testing for NOA in full compliance with
SLOAPCD requirements and the CARB ATCM for Construction, Grading,
Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations (17 CCR 93105). This geologic

Resolution No. 11275 (2021 Series) Page 6
R 11275
evaluation shall be submitted to the City Community Development Department
upon completion. If the geologic evaluation determines that the project would not
have the potential to disturb NOA, the applicant must file an Asbestos ATCM
exemption request with the SLOAPCD.
AQ-4 Naturally Occurring Asbestos Control Measures. If NOA are determined to
be present onsite, proposed earthwork, demolition, and construction activities
shall be conducted in full compliance with the various regulatory jurisdictions
regarding NOA, including the CARB ATCM for Construction, Grading, Quarrying,
and Surface Mining Operations (17 CCR 93105) and requirements stipulated in
the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP; 40 Code
of Federal Regulations [CFR] Section 61, Subpart M – Asbestos). These
requirements include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Written notification, within at least 10 business days of activities
commencing, to the SLOAPCD;
2. Preparation of an asbestos survey conducted by a Certified Asbestos
Consultant; and
3. Implementation of applicable removal and disposal protocol and
requirements for identified NOA.
AQ-5 Asbestos-Containing Material. Prior to issuance of demolition permits, the
applicant shall provide an asbestos report that was prepared by a certified
asbestos consultant. If ACM are determined to be present, at least 10 working
days prior to any demolition work the applicant shall provide notification to
SLOAPCD of such work. The notification shall include an asbestos report that
was prepared by a certified asbestos consultant. ACM removal and disposal shall
follow the requirements of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants Regulation (NESHAP) Subpart M and of the SLOAPCD.
Monitoring Program: These measures shall be incorporated onto F inal Map and project
grading/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 SLOAPCD, as necessary.
Biological Resources
BIO-1 Implement a Rare Plant Mitigation Program that ensures no net loss of
Cambria morning glory on the project site. Prior to any tract improvements, a
Rare Plant Mitigation Program shall be implemented for Cambria morning glory
and shall be overseen by a qualified botanist approved by the City. As a
component of the program, seed shall be collected from Cambria morning glory
plants during the appropriate season prior to tract grading activities. Using
standard procedures, the qualified botanist shall clean and store the seeds until
the receiving sites shown on the project plans are ready. Suitable habitat of 2,180
square-feet in size outside of the development area (as designated on the site
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7DC42D8B-B205-4E8D-BBCC-BD37C3C841AA
Resolution No. 11275 (2021 Series) Page 7
R 11275
plans in the creek setback zone) shall be designated as the mitigation site that
will be maintained in a natural state and not be subject to mowing earlier than
June 1 each year. The areas will be maintained as grassland habitat and no
planting of ornamental species or other adverse modifications (such as gr azing
activities) will be allowed. The mitigation site shown on the project plans is twice
the size as the areas currently occupied by the rare plant occurrences (2,180
square-feet of habitat created for 1,076 square -feet of habitat impacted). This
equates to a 2:1 mitigation ratio (habitat created to habitat impacted) to ensure a
minimum 1:1 replacement ratio is achieved. Topsoil from each of the four
occurrences will be collected in 6-inch lifts and stored for top-dressing the
mitigation site once grading of the pads is complete. As needed, the mitigation
site should be prepared for planting by removal of non-native species or other
measures as necessary, then applying the salvaged topsoil. Once topsoil has
been layered evenly through the area, collected s eed should be hand-
broadcasted into suitable locations by the qualified botanist and covered with
compost. Seed may also be incorporated into the native erosion control seed mix
described in the Native Erosion Control Seed Mix table under Mitigation Measur e
BIO-9 and applied to other grassy areas of the site as part of the erosion control
effort. Depending on the season when construction starts, the qualified botanist
may also potentially salvage plants (i.e., dig them up when soils are moist) and
transplant them to containers to be maintained until the mitigation sites are ready
for planting.
BIO-2 Conduct annual monitoring and implement adaptive management
measures for 5 years to ensure no net loss of Cambria morning glory
onsite. The Rare Plant Mitigation Program shall include annual monitoring and
maintenance of the mitigation site to ensure success of the program. Monitoring
by a qualified botanist shall occur during the spring growing season (between
April 15 and May 15 each year) to ensure successful establishment of planted
propagules. The established rare plants shall be mapped to evaluate the goal of
no net loss of the species onsite. The measurable objective shall be to have at
least 1,076 sf of occurrence comprised of approximately 300 Cambria morning
glory plants. Appropriate vegetation sampling techniques shall be used to assess
the areal cover of vegetation to evaluate the status of the established
occurrences. If the success criteria of having approximately 300 plants covering
1,076 sf within the creek setback zone is not reached by the third year of
monitoring, remedial actions such as collecting more seed and distributing it in
suitable areas should be employed, with a corresponding additional year of
monitoring. Other activities to increase the success of the rare plant mitigation
effort could include non-native plant species removal within the mitigation site to
reduce competition, additional seed application, or supplemental irrigation during
periods of prolonged drought. The qualified botanist shall prepare annual reports
for the applicant detailing the methods and results of the mitigation effort and
monitoring effort. The applicant shall be responsible for submitting the report to
the City on an annual basis (by December 31 of each year) for the 5-year
monitoring period or until the final success criteria described above are met.

BIO-3 To the extent feasible, avoid initial site grading in the winter months. The
burrowing owl has been recorded in the vicinity of the project from October to the
end of April. If initial vegetation removal and site grading for the tract
improvements is conducted outside of this period, potential effects on this
species would be avoided and no further mitigation would be required.
Restricting the time period for earth-moving activities is also required to avoid or
minimize the potential for erosion and sedimentation (see Mitigation Measure
BIO-9). If initial grading work must commence during the time period that
burrowing owls may be present onsite, pr econstruction surveys for this species
shall be included in the survey effort described in Mitigation Measure BIO -4 prior
to vegetation removal or tract improvements.
BIO-4 Conduct a preconstruction survey and avoid construction in areas
occupied by special-status wildlife species until relocated or they have left
the site. Within 7 days prior to the start of vegetation/tree removal, ground-
disturbing activities, or demolition of existing structures, a biologist approved by
the City shall survey the project impact area to identify whether nesting birds,
roosting bats, monarch butterfly overwintering populations, obscure bumble bee,
and/or California legless lizard are present on site. A separate survey shall be
conducted for any phase of the project no t conducted concurrently or within 10
days of cessation of the previous phase (i.e., structure demolition conducted prior
to general site grading). The biologist shall use appropriate survey techniques
for the special-status species identified in the 2020 BRA as having potential to
occur onsite. For example, burrows shall be examined with binoculars or wildlife
cameras, and inspected for whitewash or prey remains. Leaf litter and cover
objects shall be searched for northern California legless lizards. Potential bat
roost sites shall be inspected for sign of roosting bats such as guano or prey
remains. If any of these species are found onsite, the biologist shall coordinate
with the City, and CDFW as appropriate, on methods to ensure the successful
relocation of individuals to suitable habitat nearby. In some cases, CDFW may
recommend creating structures for displaced woodrats and bats. Burrowing owls
can be discouraged from using burrows onsite, or occupied burrows can be
avoided until the owls have left the area. Bats can be restricted from roost sites
by placing netting over their entrances after they have left the roost for night-time
foraging. The wildlife protection measures to be employed will be based on the
results of the survey and the particular characteristics of their use of the site, in
coordination with CDFW and the construction engineer. If no special-status
animal species are found onsite during the preconstruction survey, work may
proceed with the implementation of the following Mitigation Measures BIO-5
through BIO-7.
BIO-5 Prepare and present a Worker Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to
any vegetation removal or tract improvements, a qualified biologist shall prepare
a Worker Environmental Awareness Program that will be p resented to all project
personnel. This program shall detail measures to avoid and minimize impacts on

biological resources. It shall include a description of special -status species
potentially occurring on the project site and their natural history, the s tatus of the
species and their protection under environmental laws and regulations, and the
penalties for take. Recommendations shall be given as to actions to avoid take
should a special-status species be found on the project site. Other aspects of the
training shall include a description of general measures to protect wildlife,
including:
1. Delineation of the allowable work area, staging areas, access points,
and limits to vehicle access;
2. Storage of all pipes, metal tubing, or similar materials stored or s tacked
on the project site for one or more overnight periods shall be either
securely capped before storage or thoroughly inspected for wildlife
before the materials are moved, buried, capped, or otherwise used.
3. Inspection of materials stored onsite, such as lumber, plywood, and rolls
of silt fence, for wildlife that may have sheltered under or within the
materials;
4. Use of netting to exclude birds from nesting in construction materials;
5. Construction of escape ramps in all excavations and trenches more than
6 inches deep;
6. Contact information for the City-approved biologist and instructions
should any wildlife species be detected in the work site;
7. Dust suppression methods during construction activities when
necessary, to meet air quality standards and protect biological
resources; and
8. Methods for containment of food-related trash items (e.g., wrappers,
cans, bottles, food scraps), small construction debris (e.g., nails, bits of
metal and plastic), and other human generated debris (e.g., cigarette
butts) in animal-proof containers and removal from the site on a weekly
basis.
All project personnel who have attended the training shall sign an attendance
sheet. The program shall be repeated for any new crews that arrive
subsequently on the site.
BIO-6 Install high-visibility construction and silt fence along the creek corridor to
delineate the allowable work area, exclude wildlife from the site, and
protect the stream habitat. Prior to vegetation removal or tract improvements,
and during subsequent residential deve lopment for Lots 1-7, a high-visibility
construction fence at least 4 feet tall together with a silt fence, or an approved
wildlife exclusion fence, shall be erected along the creek corridor to delineate the
limits of grading and vehicle access. If possible, the fence shall be erected along
the creek setback line, and encroachment into the setback shall be kept at a
minimum. In no case shall ground disturbance occur within the riparian habitat
or below the top of bank without obtaining proper permits from r egulatory

agencies. The type of fence used may be a combination of wildlife exclusion and
silt fence (i.e., ERTEC Triple-function E-fence) or similar materials that would
serve the purposes of safety/construction area delineation, wildlife exclusion, and
siltation prevention. The fence shall be checked weekly by construction
personnel for needed maintenance.
BIO-7 Conduct biological monitoring for special-status wildlife species while the
property is cleared and graded, and structures are removed. A qualified
biologist shall monitor the removal of structures, materials, and vegetation that
may provide cover for obscure bumble bee, northern California legless lizards,
and bat roosting sites. The biologist shall be onsite daily until all materials are
removed and all vegetation has been cleared. If any special -status species are
found, work shall be delayed until the individuals have left the work area or
CDFW shall be notified to obtain authorization for capture and relocation.
BIO-8 Avoid vegetation removal within the riparian habitat during the
overwintering season. Vegetation removal within the riparian area shall be
conducted outside of the overwintering season for monarch butterfly (late
October through February) and obscure bumble bee (late October through
January) to avoid disturbance to species potentially inhabiting riparian
vegetation.
BIO-9 Install erosion and sediment BMPs and revegetate graded areas. The
following erosion and sedimentation control BMPs are required to be
implemented during vegetation removal, tract improvements, during individual lot
construction, and after the construction phases o f the project:
1. If possible, the potential for erosion and sedimentation shall be
minimized by scheduling construction to occur outside of the rainy
season, which is typically defined as October 15 through April 15.
Adherence to this measure would also serve as avoidance for the
burrowing owl, as described in Mitigation Measure BIO -3.
2. To minimize site disturbance, all construction related equipment shall be
restricted to established roads, construction areas, and other designated
staging areas. The creek setback zone shall be clearly marked as
described in Mitigation Measure BIO-6.
3. Prior to any site disturbance during tract improvements or individual lot
construction, a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared by
a qualified engineer. The use of silt fence, straw wattles, erosion control
blankets, straw bales, sandbags, fiber rolls, and other appropriate
techniques should be employed to protect the drainage features on and
off the property. Biotechnical approaches using native vegetation shall
be used as feasible. All areas with soil disturbance shall have
appropriate erosion controls and other stormwater protection BMPs
installed to prevent erosion potential. All sediment and erosion control
measures shall be installed per the engineer’s requiremen ts prior to the
initiation of site grading if planned to occur within the rainy season.

4. Spill kits shall be maintained on the site, and a Spill Response Plan shall
be in place.
5. No vehicles or equipment shall be refueled within 100 feet of wetland
areas, riparian habitat and/or drainage features, and refueling areas
shall have a spill containment system installed. No vehicles or
construction equipment shall be stored overnight within 100 feet of these
areas unless drip pans or ground covers are used. All equ ipment and
vehicles shall be checked and maintained on a daily basis to ensure
proper operation and to avoid potential leaks or spills. Construction
staging areas shall be located in a location where spills would not drain
into aquatic habitats.
6. No concrete washout shall be conducted on the site outside of an
appropriate containment system. Washing of equipment, tools, etc.
should not be allowed in any location where the tainted water could enter
onsite drainages.
7. The use of chemicals, fuels, lubricants, or biocides shall be in
compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations. All uses of such
compounds shall observe label and other restrictions mandated by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California Department of Food
and Agriculture, and other state and federal legislation.
8. All project-related spills of hazardous materials within or adjacent to the
project site should be cleaned up immediately.
9. All areas with soil disturbance shall have appropriate erosion controls
and other stormwater protection BMPs installed to prevent erosion
potential. Silt fencing, erosion control blankets, straw bales, sandbags,
fiber rolls, and/or other types of materials prescribed on the plan shall
be implemented to prevent erosion and sedimentation. Biotechnical
approaches using native vegetation shall be used as feasible.
10. Areas with disturbed soils shall be restored under the direction of the
project engineer in consultation with a qualified restoration ecologist as
detailed above. Methods may include recontourin g graded areas to
blend in with existing natural contours, covering the areas with salvaged
topsoil containing native seedbank from the site, and/or applying the
native seed mix as described in the table below. Native seed mix shall
be applied to the graded areas in the creek setback area through either
direct hand seeding or hydroseeding methods. Seeding with the native
erosion control seed mix should be provided on all disturbed soil areas
prior to the onset of the rainy season (by October 15).

following fire reduction methods identified by the 2020 Wildland Fire Protection
Report (Neumann)to reduce wildland fire risk:
1. Rain gutters, when not adequately maintained, will collect leaf material
which becomes a receptive fuel bed for embers and sparks and can then
transmit fire underneath the non-combustible roof materials. Rain
gutters should be protected by noncombustible leaf shields or not
allowed.
2. Record on all lots a deed restriction that allows for only non -combustible
fences and decks in the subdivision.
3. Record on all lots a deed restriction that allows for fire resistant
landscaping in the back yards of the subdivision.
4. Require enclosed eves on all structures within the subdivision.

resistant).
6. Working with the biologist, remove the non-native vegetation in the
creek, riparian area,
7. reduce the fuel load.
8. Install a non-combustible wall (block or steel stud /stucco) wall 36 inches
in height all around the northern perimeter of the subdivision. The wall
shall begin at the westernmost property line and continue to the 20-foot
setback at the west side of the creek and shall continue beginning at the
20-foot setback at the east side of the creek, terminating at the property
line of CAL FIRE Station #12. The purpose of this wall is to interrupt fire
progression from the north onto the proposed lots without obstructing
