Draft Environmental Impact Report

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

San Luis Obispo County, acting as the Lead Agency, will determine the extent of environmental impacts for this project through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR will have two draft documents publicly circulated before final action is taken by the Board of Supervisors.

The first is the Initial Study which can be found below and was circulated before the scoping meeting for public comment held July 19, 2021. The second document for public review will be the Draft EIR with an anticipated release date of June, 2022.

The Final EIR will be reviewed at a public hearing with the Planning Commission and recommended to the Board of Supervisors for hearing and final action.
