A Major Grading Permit application has been submitted for a replacement single-family dwelling and associated driveway at 2200 Orchard Lane in the Salinas River Sub-area of North County, California, within the Residential Rural land use category. The project proposes approximately 35,000 square feet of site disturbance across a 33.14-acre parcel, involving 1,070 cubic yards of cut and fill activity on slopes ranging between 10 and 30 percent. The permit, designated GRAD2024-00116, is being processed by San Luis Obispo County under the associated environmental documentation number ED25-0016. The applicant, Scott Nicholson, is represented by Dane Mueller, Planner II at the county planning department, who serves as the primary point of contact for permit-related inquiries and coordination. The permit request was posted on June 30, 2025, and is categorized as a forecasted action with no set-aside provisions or NAICS code assigned, indicating it is a local government permitting process rather than a federally funded procurement. The project’s location in a rural residential zone necessitates compliance with slope stability, erosion control, and stormwater management requirements specific to the region.
