Reasons for Exemption
The project would allow for the construction of a 4,611 square foot structure, new driveway, septic system and other associated improvements. The proposed structure will include several components within the single building footprint, including: a 1,192 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit, a 3,419 square foot detached garage/workshop accessory to the primary dwelling, and 456 square feet of covered porch space. The applicant provided a Biological Resources Assessment prepared by Padre Associates Inc. dated June 2024. No special-status plant species were observed during the focused field survey. Additionally, the applicant provided a Phase I Archeological Study prepared by Padre Associates Inc., dated May 2024. The report concluded with no positive findings. Standard County Code requirements to notify the County in the event of biological or cultural resource findings will provide sufficient protection to ensure no significant effect on the environment will occur. The applicant also provided photographic evidence that the proposed structure will not have any adverse visual impact on the highway review corridor. Due to the proposed location, all visual concerns are below any potential thresholds indicating potential impacts. The project, as conditioned, will be in compliance with all requirements of the County Land Use Ordinance and CEQA guidelines.
