Grading Permit - GRAD2023-00129

Grading Permit GRAD2023-00129 is a project authorized by the San Luis Obispo County Department of Planning and Building for entry and driveway improvements at 7510 Los Osos Valley Road, San Luis Obispo, California. The project involves a Major Grading Permit for a parcel within the Agriculture land use category, specifically disturbing approximately 1.37 acres of a 206-acre property and requiring 800 cubic yards of cut and fill. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under the general rule as it is determined that the work will not have significant environmental effects. The scope of work requires adherence to County Code, General Plan, and Area Plan standards, with a specific focus on minimizing site disturbance and managing surface water quality through existing grading and drainage regulations. A critical requirement of the permit is compliance with County Code Section 22.10.040 regarding archaeological resources; if any such resources are uncovered during construction, all activities must cease immediately to allow a qualified archaeologist to record the findings and ensure the disposition of artifacts follows state and federal law. Administrative oversight is managed by Division Manager Eric Hughes, and the project was approved on November 5, 2024.
