Templeton Hotel (N-DRC2024-00029 / ED25-180)

Dirk Winter is seeking approval to construct a 60-unit hotel on a 3.51-acre site on the east side of N. Main Street in Templeton, California, located between Creekside Ranch Road and River Run Road and approximately 0.4 miles south of Highway 101. The project, identified as N-DRC2024-00029 / ED25-180, involves the development of ten buildings totaling 30,700 square feet of floor area, with improvements including guest rooms featuring private patios, a central building housing an office, concierge, breakfast room, and kitchen, a common outdoor area, a swimming pool and spa, landscaping, street frontage enhancements, parking, and walkways. Food service is limited to breakfast, with meals prepared offsite and delivered to the property. The development will require 2,960 cubic yards of cut and 3,960 cubic yards of fill, along with storm drainage and utility connections, and will be built in two phases. The site lies within the Commercial Retail land use category and the Salinas River Sub-area of the North County Planning Area, and is served by the Templeton Community Services District. Environmental compliance is governed by CEQA, with mitigation measures addressing fugitive dust control, stormwater management, hazardous materials handling, seismic risk, landslide potential, and cultural resource protection. Compliance with APCD regulations, including opacity limits and vehicle emissions standards, is required, along with adherence to California Vehicle Code and Water Code provisions for track-out prevention and sediment control. The county serves as the lead agency, with Eric Tolle as the primary point of contact for environmental submittals. No federal procurement elements such as FAR clauses, pricing data, contract types, payment terms, or contractor certifications are present. The process remains in the planning and environmental review stage, with a public review period set from January 21 to February 20, 2026, prior to final approval. All conditions of approval will be enforceable by San Luis Obispo County, and the project is subject to local land use ordinances and environmental regulations but does not constitute a federal contract.
