Document Type: NOP - Notice of Preperation

Present Land Use: Agriculture, Rural Lands

Document Description: The project proposes to subdivide portions of the 1,910 acre Laetitia property into 102 single-family one-acre home sites, a Ranch Headquarters/Community/Homeowners Association Facility and four open space lots which would accommodate a variety of uses incluing a 10 acre Equestrian Facility and on-going agricultural uses. This proposed development requires County approval of a Vesting Tentative Tract Map, subsequent Final Maps and Conditional Use Permits. The applicant intends to file a Conditional Use Permit application in the future to also permit the operation of a Dude Ranch on the project site. Therefore, impacts of the Dude Ranch will be considered within the cumulative impacts discussion of the EIR for this project, including impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, water and wastewater services. The project applicant proposes to utilize the County of San Luis Obispo Agriculture Cluster Ordinance to permit clustered residential development on portions of the site. This project proposes to remove some existing vineyards or orchards and replanting these or other crops at other locations on-site to accommodate the residential clustered development.
