The following is an overview of the relevant environmental issue areas that were considered in this determination. Aesthetic and Visual Resources: The site is currently developed and is situated between a currently developed golf course and residential neighborhood, with Morro Bay located north of the site. There will be no impacts to scenic resources such as rocks, trees or historic buildings. The proposed project is limited to a Parcel Map which will not result in new site disturbance or create the potential for additional density/intensity, as the resulting two-lot subdivision will remain within the Residential Single-Family land use category. Therefore, no environmental effects are anticipated as a result of the subdivision. The applicant requests an adjustment to underground utilities on the project parcel. The existing utility pole located on the northwest corner of Pecho Road and Skyline Drive currently supports a mounted streetlight. If utilities were required to be undergrounded, a streetlight of similar size and mass would need to be reconstructed in the same location to provide illumination for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. The project does not propose any new sources of lighting. Additionally, utilities in the surrounding neighborhood are not underground. Therefore, impacts to aesthetic and visual resources will be less than significant. Biological Resources No new uses, construction or site disturbance is proposed as part of this subdivision. The site is not located within a mapped wetland area and is not located within a mapped Sensitive Resource Area. A focused portion of the site is located within a mapped 100-year flood zone (along the northern-most property line, measuring approximately 0.08 acres in area, and projecting approximately 25 feet into the property). During the prior development of the parcel (specifically through land use permit D870061D) the wetland and riparian habitat areas were delineated. The wetland and riparian vegetation is protected by an existing recorded open space easement, scenic preservation easement and water quality monitoring program (DOC 1993-082100). No other sensitive habitat exists onsite. The site is not located within the Los Osos Priority Conservation Area (LOPCA). The subdivision will not interfere with sensitive animal species and does not conflict with the provisions of any habitat conservation plans. Therefore, no impacts to biological resources will occur. Cultural Resources / Tribal Cultural Resources The site is not located within a mapped Archaeologically Sensitive Resource Area (ASA). A prior archaeological survey was conducted on the project site, which resulted in no findings and no recommendations for further investigation or monitoring (Sawyer, 1987). Since no construction or site disturbance will occur as part of this subdivision, there will be no impacts to cultural or tribal resources. Hydrology and Water Quality and Wastewater No new drainages or impervious surfaces will be constructed for this subdivision. A water quality monitoring program is already in place to protect the wetland and riparian area located in the northern portion of the site. Water services will continue to be provided by Golden State Water Co. and sewer services will continue to be provided by the Los Osos Wastewater Recycling Facility (Public Works- CSA 9). Preliminary continue to serve letters have been obtained for both water and sewer services. Final will-to-serve documentation for water and sewer services will be required prior to final map recordation. Based on the existing water quality monitoring program and availability of water and sewer services, the project will have less than significant impacts to hydrology, water quality, and wastewater. Population and Housing The project proposes to subdivide an existing 4.85 acre parcel into two parcels within the Single-Family land use category- Parcel 1 would measure 4.52 acres and Parcel 2 would measure 0.33 acres. Parcel 2 consists of an existing single-family residence and Parcel 2 consists of a golf course (pro shop, hole and parking lot), sewer pump station, and water well. If subsequent development were proposed following Parcel Map recordation, development would be subject to a land use permit/Coastal Development Permit and environmental review since the site is located within the Coastal Appealable Zone (development between the sea and the first public road) and would be limited based on requirements of the Estero Area Plan, Coastal Zone Land Use Ordinance, Los Osos Community Plan, Los Osos Habitat Conservation Plan, Coastal Policies and other development rules and regulations and existing uses on site along with site constraints such as recorded open space easement, utility easement(s), setbacks, and other factors . Therefore, there are no reasonably foreseeable impacts to population and housing as a result of the Parcel Map. Transportation and Traffic Per the Public Works referral response letter, Solano Street and Skyline Drive are identified in the 2016 County Bikeways Plan as Class 3 bikeways. Therefore, road widening improvements are not required for compliance with the plan since the bikeways are existing. The project is conditioned to pay Road Improvement Fees, as applicable. Curb, gutter and sidewalk (CGS) improvements exist on Skyline Drive and Solano Street. The applicant may be required to reconstruct, repair and/or upgrade deteriorated improvements to conform to ADA requirements and Public Improvement Standards along these two frontages. The applicant requests an adjustment to curb, gutter and sidewalk (CGS) improvements on Pecho Road. Pecho Road and the adjacent Cuesta-by-the-Sea Tract to the west do not have any sidewalks. Construction of sidewalks on Pecho Road along the project frontage would not connect to any existing sidewalks and is not identified in any applicable plans. There will be no changes to frontages of the project site from existing conditions. Therefore, there will be no impacts to transportation and traffic. Requirements of the LOHCP, GMO and Title 19 would be addressed in the future if the applicant were to apply for a land use permit application involving site disturbance, new structures/uses and/or if work were to necessitate a construction permit. In addition, based on the project description, baseline conditions, and analysis of the project’s potential environmental impacts, the project will have less than significant or no impacts relating to the following: Agricultural Resources Air Quality Geology and Soils Hazards and Hazardous Materials Energy Greenhouse Gas Emissions Land Use and Planning Mineral Resources Public Services Recreation Utilities and Service Systems Wildfire Cumulative Conclusions As conditioned, the project will conform to the applicable General Plan and Area Plan standards, and no mitigation measures are necessary to address the environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect, and the project is exempt from CEQA.
