Reasons for Exemption
Aesthetic and Visual Resources:
The project complies with the North Coast Area Plan and Coastal Zone Land Use Ordinance (CZLUO) for height requirements, setbacks and other development standards. The site is an urban, currently developed lot in Cambria- there will be no impacts to scenic resources such as rocks, trees or historic buildings. The proposed building height is 15 feet and the visibility of the site does not change because the new building will be of similar size, scale and use to other buildings on Sherwood Drive. No exceptions adjustments or modification are requested for the building height, scale or massing. The project will not be a source of significant daytime or nighttime glare since the structure is not proposed to be constructed out of reflective materials and all exterior lighting shall be shielded downwards and shall have dark colored hoods.

Reasons for Exemption
Air Quality
The site is located in an urbanized area and falls below the APCD’s numerical threshold for daily emissions. The project is located within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors (residential single-family homes). The project will comply with the County’s standard fugitive dust control measures and the San Luis Obispo Air Pollution Control District’s (SLOAPCD) standard measures for construction equipment for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx), reactive organic gases (ROG), and diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions from construction equipment. With the implementation of these standard regulatory measures, potential air quality impacts are less than significant. Based on SLO APCD CEQA handbook Table 1-1 the project won’t result in operation impacts. Based on SLO APCD CEQA handbook Table 1-1 the project won’t result in construction impacts.

Reasons for Exemption
Biological Resources
The project is located on a developed lot in an urbanized developed area Cambria. The vegetation on-site consists of ornamental plants include annuals, low shrubs, and planted Monterey cypress (Hesperocyparis macrocarpa). A majority of the site does not provide habitat for any sensitive species. The existing montery cypress tree could be provide nesting and therefore if construction is to occur between February 1 and August 31 a nesting bird preconstruction survey will be required and conducted by a qualify biologist. Therefore, impacts to biological resources will be less than significant.

Reasons for Exemption
Cultural Resources / Tribal Cultural Resources
The proposed project is consistent with this Section. The project site is located in an Archeologically Sensitive Area. The project scope is a demolition of an existing building and construction of a new residential structure of a larger disturbed area. Phase 1 Archeological survey was conducted by SWCA on January 10, 2024. The records search and field survey did not identify the presence of previously undocumented archaeological resources within or near the project area. Therefore, no impacts to significant cultural resources are anticipated and the project is conditioned to stop work in the event of an inadvertent discovery.
A Historical Evaluation Report was conducted by Preservation Architecture February 21, 2023 and revised April 28, 2023 because the existing structure was designed by It was further peer reviewed by Long Historic Preservation Services July 15,2024 how supported the determination that the structure does not meet the criteria for eligibility to the California Register of Historical Resources and specifically for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, no impacts to significant historical resources are anticipated

Reasons for Exemption
Geology and Soils
The project site is within a mapped Geologic Study Area (GSA) combining designation and is subject to the provisions of the CZLUO. All land use permit applications for projects located within a Geologic Study Area shall be accompanied by a report prepared by a certified engineering geologist and/or registered civil engineer (as to soils engineering), as appropriate. The County Liquefaction Hazards Map reveals that the site is within a low liquefaction hazard zone. The County Landslide Hazards map reveals that the site is within a low landslide hazard zone. An Engineering Geology Report was conducted at the project site (Geosolutions, Inc; December 14, 2020).
A Coastal Bluff Evaluation was prepared by GeoSolutions dated December 14, 2020 and peer reviewed by Cotton Shire and Associates on February 15, 2024. A revised Coastal Bluff Evaluation Update report was prepared by GeoSolutions dated April 22, 2024 addressing Cotton Shire and Associates Comments and further peer reviewed by Cotton Shire and Associates on June 25, 2024. The reports were peer reviewed by the County’s geologist, Cotton, Shires and Associates, who approved the report for completeness and confirmed the recommendations were adequate for the proposed development. The project is conditioned to comply with the recommendations from the Soils Engineering Report, Engineering Geology Investigation and the Geologic Peer Review memo to minimize risks to the structure from potential geologic hazards and ensure there will be no significant impacts to geologic or soil resources from the proposed project. Therefore, potential geologic impacts will be less than significant.
