Littell Major Grading Permit: GRAD2024-00157 / ED25-0158

A Major Grading Permit (GRAD2024-00157 / ED25-0158) has been issued for a residential project at 1725 Corbett Highlands Rd in Arroyo Grande, California, within the San Luis Bay Inland Sub-area of the South County Planning Area. The parcel spans approximately five acres and is zoned for Residential Rural use. The project involves site disturbance of about 18,200 square feet with 1,200 cubic yards of cut and fill to accommodate the construction of a new workshop and an accessory dwelling unit. While the documentation references environmental compliance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and includes an approved Notice of Exemption, it does not constitute a federal procurement contract; no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, pricing structures, line items, or contract administration data apply. The work is governed by county regulations including Code Section 22.96.030 and state laws related to cultural resources, human remains, and endangered species protection. The applicant, Bill and Judi Littell, is responsible for implementing strict mitigation protocols as conditions of approval, which include mandatory cultural resources awareness training for all site personnel, on-site monitoring by a qualified archaeologist and a Native American representative, and immediate cessation of work if cultural or human remains are discovered. Additionally, a botanical survey must confirm the absence of Pismo Clarkia, a protected plant species, within the project area, and an archaeological resources assessment has already been completed and submitted. All inspections and acceptance occur at the project site and are overseen by the San Luis Obispo County Planning & Building Department, with Dane Mueller serving as the primary point of contact. No federal contract vehicles, invoicing systems, payment offices, accounting codes, or socioeconomic certifications are involved, as this is a localized development permit requiring adherence to state and county environmental and land use standards rather than a competitive federal acquisition.
