Talley Grading Permit (GRAD2024-00035/ CEQA2024-00054)

The Major Grading Permit GRAD2024-00035, issued by the San Luis Obispo County Department of Planning and Building, authorizes the construction of a single-family home at 7332 Huasna Road in Arroyo Grande, California. The project involves disturbing approximately 0.39 acres of a 3.30-acre parcel within an agriculture land use category, requiring 541 cubic yards of cut and fill. The project is certified as exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under the general rule exemption Section 15061(b)(3), as it is anticipated to have no significant effects on geological, cultural, or biological resources. Key operational requirements include strict adherence to local policies for biological resource protection and existing grading and drainage regulations to manage surface water quality. Under County Code Section 22.10.040, construction must cease immediately if archaeological resources are uncovered, requiring notification of the Department and, in the case of human remains, the County Coroner. The project is managed by Division Manager Eric Hughes, with Byron Talley serving as the applicant. The permit was approved on December 26, 2024, and the exemption notice was signed on August 12, 2026.
