Faber Major Grading Permit (GRAD2023-00089 / ED26-0122)

Luke Faber has requested a Major Grading Permit for a slope stabilization system at 447 Lucerne Road in Cayucos, within the Estero Planning Area, to address erosion concerns on a residential multi-family site. The proposed work involves installing steel wire mesh over an erosion control mat, secured by soil nails, covering approximately 1,600 square feet, and will result in the disturbance of 0.06 acres. This project is designed to complement and conform to an earlier emergency permit and coastal development permit approved for bluff top stabilization, which included reinforced concrete piles and grade beams, surface and subsurface drainage systems, and the placement of rip rap at three locations. The new system supports the existing structural measures without altering the foundational stabilization elements. The permit application is linked to the county’s environmental review system, and the project is overseen by San Luis Obispo County, with Planner II Andy Knighton as the primary point of contact and Luke Faber listed as the applicant. The permit is forecasted for August 10, 2026, and the place of performance is noted as Morro Bay, California, with a zip code of 93430.
