Nemahai Variance; N-DRC2025-00051; ED26-0051

Anton Nemahai is seeking a Minor Use Permit and a variance to construct a 3,652-square-foot single-story single-family residence with a three-car garage on a steeply sloped property at 3725 East Highway 41 in San Luis Obispo County. The project requires disturbing nearly 100,000 square feet of land, involving over 9,000 cubic yards of earth movement with a significant volume of fill and cut, and the installation of approximately 1,000 linear feet of retaining walls to stabilize the grade. The proposed residence includes three bedrooms and five bathrooms, and the development will extend a private driveway across two adjacent parcels. The variance seeks approval to exceed the 30 percent slope limit for grading, which is not permitted under standard zoning regulations in this Residential Rural area within the El Pomar–Estrella Sub-Area. The project is subject to local land use controls and requires coordination with county planning officials, with Blake Maule serving as the primary point of contact for regulatory review, while the applicant, Anton Nemahai, is directly involved in the process. The request is formally documented under N-DRC2025-00051 and was posted for public notice on June 5, 2026.
