Riley Minor Use Permit / N-DRC2024-00043 / ED25-0140

The request centers on a Minor Use Permit for grading approximately 2.9 acres at 7705 Creston Road in Paso Robles, California, within San Luis Obispo County’s El Pomar-Estrella Sub-area, to facilitate future phased construction of an accessory dwelling unit. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, where it qualifies for a categorical exemption under Section 15061(b)(3), asserting no significant environmental impact. Compliance conditions include biological resource protections such as pre-construction nest surveys for western spadefoot toads and prairie falcons, strict work timing restrictions to avoid breeding seasons, and implementation of erosion controls and habitat avoidance measures. Administrative fees totaling approximately $9,425 cover environmental review costs including an EIR fee, MND fee, CRP fee, water right application, and a $81 county documentary handling fee, all processed through the County Clerk-Recorder’s Office with payment accepted via cash, check, or credit. The applicant, Everett J. Riley, submitted documentation including a Biological Resources Assessment and a certified exemption finding, with the lead agency, San Luis Obispo County’s Planning and Building Department, responsible for review and approval. No federal procurement structure applies; the project involves no FAR clauses, contract type, line items, or federal contracting personnel. Delivery and performance are limited to the defined site, with inspection and acceptance tied to regulatory compliance filings and recording of the Notice of Exemption at the county office. The project was approved in September 2025, with formal filing completed in October 2025, and no further contract term or timeline beyond seasonal work windows was established.
