DETERMINING GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE FOR THE

1675 CALLE JOAQUIN PROPERTIES FOR USE OF A RIGHT-OF-WAY
BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS REPRESENTED IN THE STAFF
REPORT AND ATTACHMENTS DATED APRIL 269 2017 (154.5 CALLE
JOAQUIN & 1675 CALLE JOAQUIN, GENP-0156-2017 (GPC))
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public
hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on
April 26, 2017, for the purpose of considering application GENP-0156-2017 (GPC); and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has duly considered all evidence, including the
testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff,
presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
San Luis Obispo as follows:
Section 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Commission makes the following
findings:
1. The relinquishment of land for right-of-way will not harm the general health, safety, and
welfare of people living or working in the vicinity because the proposed right-of-way is
consistent with the General Plan and the existing development pattern.
2. The proposed project is consistent with General Plan Circulation Element Policies 7.1.3
and 8.1.1, which encourage the expansion of roadways to keep pace with increased
vehicular traffic and encourage through -traffic to use Regional Routes, Highways,
Arterials, and Parkway Arterials.
Section 2. Environmental Review. Section 15061(b)(3) states a project is exempt from
CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have
the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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 activity is not subject to CEQA. The determination of general plan conformity
for the relinquishment of land for State right-of-way by the City of San Luis Obispo is not subject
to CEQA, because the project will not have a significant effect on the environment since it is a
policy review of whether land relinquishment is consistent with the General Plan. Any future
development related to the proposed right-of-way will be subject to environmental review as
required under CEQA.
