Conservation and Open Space Element Update / General Plan and Land Use Ordinance Amendment / LRP2025-00005 ED25-0149

The project involves an amendment to the Conservation and Open Space Element of San Luis Obispo County’s General Plan to enhance public access to open spaces and ensure alignment with California Senate Bill 1425. This is a planning-level update focused on policy revision rather than physical development, and it has been determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15061(b)(3) due to the absence of significant environmental impacts. The County of San Luis Obispo serves as the lead agency and applicant, with administrative oversight handled by the Planning and Building Department and key personnel including Planner III Kip Morais and Deputy County Clerk-Recorder Anthony Trujillo. Formal approval was granted by the Board of Supervisors on November 18, 2025, and the Notice of Exemption was filed on November 19, 2025, with no associated fees due to the exemption status. The project is countywide in scope, and all administrative actions are centered at the County’s main office in San Luis Obispo, with no physical construction, delivery, or procurement elements involved. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or procurement structures apply to this action. The documentation does not include any contract type, pricing, payment terms, invoicing methods, or federal contracting personnel designations such as COR, COTR, or PCO. There are no solicitation numbers, contract line items, appropriation codes, or electronic submission portals referenced. Instead, the process relies entirely on state-level environmental compliance procedures under CEQA, with physical submission of forms and attachments to the County Clerk-Recorder’s Office. No contractor is engaged, and the work involves only internal governmental review, documentation, and filing. The submission requirements are minimal and administrative, consisting of a completed Notice of Exemption form, supporting attachments, and compliance with local filing procedures without any federal reporting, certification, or performance evaluation criteria. All activities are confined to local land use planning and environmental regulatory compliance, with no procurement, delivery, or service performance elements as understood in federal contract contexts.
