The project area is located within the El Pomar-Estrella Sub-area of the North County Planning Area and is subject to the applicable sub-area standards outlined in County Code Section 22.94.040. This project, as proposed, meets all applicable community standards for development.

Althouse and Meade, December 2024
Reasons for Exemption
The property was determined to have no potential for San Joaquin Kit Fox to occur and, therefore, does not require related mitigation measures (Althouse and Meade, December 2024). The project will not result in the removal of any heritage oak trees or other native tree species. There is no potential for other special species status wildlife to occur within the property. Therefore, the project will maintain compliance with local policies and ordinances protecting biological resources.

Type, Section or Code
County Code Section 22.10.040
Reasons for Exemption
The project is not located near a stream or in an area with known archaeological resources; therefore, impacts to cultural resources are not anticipated. In the unlikely event resources are uncovered during grading activities, implementation of County Code Section 22.10.040 (Archaeological Resources) would be required, which states:
A. Construction activities shall cease, and the Department shall be notified so that the extent and location of discovered materials may be recorded by a qualified archaeologist, and disposition of artifacts may be accomplished in accordance with state and federal law.
B. In the event archeological resources are found to include human remains, or in any other case when human remains are discovered during construction, the County Coroner shall be notified in addition to the Department so proper disposition may be accomplished.
