Madden Grading Permit – GRAD2023-00064

The Madden Grading Permit (GRAD2023-00064) is a land use authorization issued by the San Luis Obispo County Planning and Building Department for a project located at 120 West 19th Street in Paso Robles, California. The project, requested by Michael Madden, involves the construction of a 3,500-square-foot metal barn and an electrical utility trench on a 20.71-acre parcel designated as Residential Rural and Residential Suburban. The scope of work includes approximately 1,695 cubic yards of cut and fill, disturbing roughly 0.31 acres of the site. The project is classified as a forecast and is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as there is no substantial evidence of significant environmental impact. Key compliance requirements include adherence to geotechnical recommendations, stormwater drainage regulations, and San Luis Obispo County Code Section 22.10.040, which mandates the immediate cessation of work and notification of the County Coroner if archaeological resources or human remains are discovered. Administrative processing included a 90.00 USD filing fee paid to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, with Eric Hughes serving as the primary point of contact for the lead agency.
