Reasons for Exemption
The project includes adjusting lot lines between four existing parcels of 1.09 acres, 2.50 acres, 70 acres, and 90 acres. The adjustment will result in four parcels of 42.30 acres, 40.10 acres, 40.00 acres and 40.10 acres. The project does not propose site disturbance and does not propose development within the Flood Zone area. The project area is located within the San Luis Obispo Planning Area, San Luis Obispo subarea North and is subject to the applicable sub-area standards outlined in County Code Section 22.96.040. This project, as proposed, meets all applicable community standards for development.
The project complies with applicable county standards and will not result in impacts to agricultural resources. The site contains primarily Class III soils, which requires a minimum parcel size of 40 acres if irrigated or 160 acres if non-irrigated. The site currently has an agricultural well on each of the four proposed parcels, and therefore qualifies for the 40-acre minimum parcel size. To further support this analysis, the applicant submitted an Agricultural Viability Memo (October 16, 2025) prepared by Envicom Corporation. The analysis confirmed that the project site consists of Class III soils, which with proper management and irrigation can support different types of farming. The report also acknowledged that the site is within the flood zone AE, but that with proper planning and conservation practices each of the four parcels would still be able to support at least 10 acres of viable farmland. Additionally, the proposed lot line adjustment results in an equal to or better situation since two of the existing parcels are well under the minimum parcel size for the Agriculture land use category.
The project area does not fall within San Joaquin Kit Fox habitat and, therefore, does not require related mitigation measures. The project will not result in the removal of any heritage oak trees or other native tree species, and there are no special status plant species known to exist within the project area. Therefore, the project will maintain compliance with local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources.
No development is proposed as part of the proposed Lot Line Adjustment. Future development on the resulting parcels will require drainage plans per county code and will be reviewed for compliance with the flood hazard combining designation.
The project is not proposing development and not is located near an area with known archaeological resources; therefore, impacts to cultural resources are not anticipated.
The project area has moderate potential for liquefaction, and low risk for landslide based upon the site’s soil quality.
