Grading Permit - GRAD2023-00164

The project involves obtaining a Major Grading Permit for the substantial renovation of a single-family residence located at 7510 Los Osos Valley Road in San Luis Obispo, California, within the Agriculture land use category. The scope includes remodeling approximately 5,623 square feet of existing conditioned space and converting an additional 900 square feet of previously unconditioned area into habitable living space. Supporting infrastructure consists of a 550-square-foot attached covered entryway and roughly 535 linear feet of new retaining walls to manage terrain changes. The grading work will affect 2.02 acres of a 206-acre parcel, requiring an estimated 2,900 cubic yards of earthwork involving both cut and fill operations. The site is situated in the San Luis Obispo Sub Area of the San Luis Obispo Planning Area, and all activities are subject to local land use and environmental regulations. The permit application is tracked under GRAD2023-00164 and was posted as a forecast on August 4, 2026, with no solicitation number or set-aside classification assigned. The agency responsible for oversight is San Luis Obispo County, and the primary point of contact is Eric Hughes, Division Manager of Planning, reachable via phone and email. The applicant, William Szymczak, is also listed with separate contact details. The project is accessible through the California Environmental Quality Act portal for public review, indicating compliance procedures and potential public input requirements are active. All work must adhere to county planning standards, especially given the sensitive agricultural zoning and scale of earth disturbance.
