Subject: Approving the Cost Report for Costs Incurred Abating Public Nuisance Parcels and Directing the Costs be Forwarded to the County Auditor for Inclusion on the Next Tax Bill CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Date: July 15, 2025
Facts
1. On June 17, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution 25-074, confirming weeds or noxious growth on specific properties within the City to be a nuisance.
2. “Notice to Abate” letters were mailed to the property owner address on file with the county assessor on two separate occasions; additional notice was mailed to each occupant of the physical address; and letters returned had the properties staked with a copy of the need to abate.
3. The City entered into a Maintenance Services Agreement with KD Jani to abate unaddressed properties. As of June 18, 2025, 16 of the initial 334 properties remained in violation and abatement work commenced.
4. Costs for each abated parcel were tracked and are attached as Exhibit A.
Options
1. Take no action.
2. Hear any objections to the cost report, confirm the cost report including the associated administrative fees for submission to the County Auditor-Controller and approve 25the cost report for costs incurred abating public nuisance parcels and direct the costs be forwarded to the County Auditor for inclusion on the next tax bill.
3. Amend or modify the resolution as submitted.
4. Provide alternative direction to staff.
Analysis and Conclusions
Through its delegated authority, Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services (PRFES) works to eliminate community fire hazards created by dry vegetation (weeds), consistent with Government Code sections 39561-39588 and Paso Robles Municipal Code Chapter 16.10. This work includes a public information campaign, letters to property owners, and occupants of parcels found in violation, and individual property assessments.
PRFES made reasonable attempts to achieve safety regulation compliance for those properties found in Exhibit A. These Sixteen (16) properties nonetheless remained in violation and were abated to abatement ordinance standards, through an approved contractor. On July 1, 2025, the City’s contractor, KD Janni, completed the abatement and has prepared the attached cost report for review and approval by the City
Council pursuant to PRMC 16.10.240. The cost report was posted for at least three days prior to its submission to the City Council on or near the chamber door of the City Council with a notice of the time of submission.
Fiscal Impact
Cost associated with the City ordered work will be recouped via direct invoice or through a special assessment lien on the negligent properties, if necessary. The charges for each of the unabated properties cover the full cost of the abatement, including administrative oversight. The administrative costs incurred by the City for properties that did abate after receiving notice are not recouped.
CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 25-XXX, confirming the cost report of abated parcels described in Exhibit A including the associated administrative fees and directing staff to submit it to the County Auditor-Controller.

CONFIRMING THE ATTACHED COST REPORT FOR WEED ABATED PARCELS AND DIRECTING THE
COSTS BE FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY AUDITOR FOR INCLUSION ON THE NEXT TAX BILL WHEREAS, the City Council of El Paso de Robles (“City”) on June 17, 2025, adopted Resolution 25-074 “A resolution of the City Council of El Paso de Robles confirming existence of a public nuisance, therefore creating a potential fire hazard on various properties throughout the City and ordering the Fire Chief to abate the nuisance”; and

Confirmed that weeds or noxious growth growing on certain properties within the City were a nuisance. Directed the Fire Chief to “Abate” the nuisance parcels as outlined in section 16.10 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code.
Invited Property owners to show cause why such condition should not be condemned as a public nuisance; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Chief had the parcels identified in Exhibit A abated to the adopted standards on Ordinance
16.10; and
WHEREAS, the associated costs for abatement, including a one-hundred percent administrative fee, must be considered and confirmed by Council prior to submission to the county auditor-controller for inclusion on the next regular tax bill; and
WHEREAS, the City has provided all requisite notice and hearing procedures for imposition of the attached abatement costs consistent with Government Code sections 39561—39588 and Paso Robles Municipal Code Chapter 16.10.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council hereby confirms the cost report attached as Exhibit A and directs the Fire Chief (or his designee) to forward the costs to the county auditor-controller for inclusion as a levy against the parcel on the next regular tax bill.

Subject: Accept Donation of a 2022 Ram ProMaster 2500 Van from Arthur and Sarah Ludwick CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Date: July 15, 2025
Facts
1. Two goals of the Recreation Services Strategic Plan for 2022-2026 were to optimize access and forge strategic partnerships through the re-implementation of the Paso Play on Wheels mobile recreation program.
2. An action item identified in the strategic plan to achieve this goal included the hiring of a Program Services Coordinator who was hired in the Spring of 2025.
3. To launch the program, the Recreation Services Division has been planning to outfit an existing van to provide the mobile service. In doing so, it will limit the availability to be used for cargo and transportation of staff for special events and other programming.
4. Former Paso Robles resident Arthur Ludwick and his wife Sarah would like to donate their 2022 Ram ProMaster 2500 van to the Community Services Department to further the Department’s goal of providing quality of life services to the community.
Community Outreach
The Recreation Services Strategic Plan goals were developed using feedback received via community input sessions and partner and stakeholder focus groups. Through this process, it was determined that expansion of recreative opportunities through the City was a priority.
Options
1. Take no action;
2. Approve Resolution 25-XXX accepting the donation of a 2022 Ram ProMaster 2500 Van from Arthur and Sarah Ludwick valued at $73,000;
3. Provide alternative direction to staff.
Analysis and Conclusions
As part of the 2022–2026 Recreation Services Strategic Plan, two key goals are to optimize community access and build strategic partnerships through the re-launch of the Paso Play on Wheels mobile recreation program. To support this initiative, the plan identified the need to hire a Program Services Coordinator, a position that was successfully filled in Spring 2025. To implement the program, the Recreation Services Department has been preparing to retrofit its existing van for mobile recreation use.
However, repurposing the van will reduce its availability for transporting cargo and staff to off-site events.
The existing van has historically served as a key resource for group transportation to conferences and citysponsored activities.
In support of the Department’s mission to enhance quality of life through recreation, former Paso Robles resident Arthur Ludwick and his wife Sarah have offered to donate their 2022 Ram 2500 ProMaster van to the Community Services Department. The donation would allow the Department to expand services to include mobile recreation without compromising other operational needs, advancing strategic goals in a cost-effective and meaningful way.
Arthur J. and Sarah L. Ludwick have dedicated decades to advancing education, healthcare, and community development throughout the San Gabriel Valley and beyond. Their joint efforts have supported a wide array of initiatives, from the creation of innovative science education centers at Cal Poly Pomona to the development of emergency care facilities and early childhood education programs. The couple has championed national causes supporting schools, medical and rescue services, and youth organizations. In recognition of their extraordinary contributions, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and the California State University Board of Trustees awarded Arthur Ludwick the honorary degree of Doctor of Science and Sarah Ludwick the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.
This gift carries special meaning for Mr. Ludwick, who spent much of his youth in the Paso Robles area.
He attended schools in San Miguel and Paso Robles between the 2nd and 9th grades, delivered newspapers for the Paso Robles Press, and fondly remembers his early involvement in the Pioneer Day Parade. The donation of this van reflects his desire to give back to the community that helped shape his early life and underscores the lasting value of investing in future generations.
As required by Fair Political Practices Regulation 18944 this donation is being made to the City, not a specific official; it was not made at the behest of an official and will be used for City business. Staff will file and maintain all Fair Political Practices Commission required filings.
Fiscal Impact
While the van is being donated at no cost to the City, accepting the vehicle does include ongoing fiscal impacts. These include the cost of fuel, routine maintenance, and insurance estimated to be approximately $1,500 per year and inclusion in the City's vehicle replacement schedule at the current value of $73,000. Staff will incorporate these costs into the Department’s operating budget and longrange vehicle planning.
CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 25-XXX accepting the donation of a 2022 Ram ProMaster Van from Arthur and Sarah Ludwick valued at $73,000.

Subject: Approval of a Resolution Accepting Improvements and Warranty of Royal Oak Meadows Park
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Date: July 15, 2025
Facts
1. On February 14, 2020, the City of El Paso de Robles (“City”) entered into a Development Agreement with Olsen Ranch 212, LLC (“Developer”) to guide the development of the Vinedo & Olsen – South Chandler Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan encompasses approximately 355.6 acres and includes residential units, recreational amenities, parks, open spaces, and public infrastructure.
2. As a condition of development, the Specific Plan requires the rehabilitation of Royal Oak Park, which is owned by the City. To enable the Developer to perform the required improvements on City-owned land, the City and Developer executed a Public Parkland Construction and Encroachment Permit Agreement on March 29, 2024 (“Permit”).
3. Pursuant to the Permit, the Developer was authorized and required to construct improvements to Royal Oak Park in accordance with plans approved by the City and endorsed by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee.
4. The required improvements have been made and all required inspections have been completed.
Options
1. Take no action;
2. Approve Resolution 25-XXX, accepting the public park improvements constructed by Olsen Ranch 212, LLC within Royal Oak Meadows Park, pursuant to the Development Agreement and related Permit Agreement, and initiate the plant establishment and warranty periods as outlined;
3. Provide alternative direction to staff.
Analysis and Conclusions
The Developer has completed construction of the Royal Oak Park improvements in accordance with the approved plans, Development Agreement, and Permit requirements. City staff has inspected the improvements and confirms they have been constructed to the City’s satisfaction.
Improvements to the existing park include a new playground to replace the tot lot, a shade structure adjacent to the new playground, a new fenced basketball court, a new parking lot, and replacement of the asphalt trail with a new concrete trail. In addition, the irrigation system was updated and picnic tables and trash cans that were in poor condition were replaced.
In accordance with the Permit and standard City practice, the following provisions are now applicable:
1. Plant Establishment Period: The Developer remains responsible for the care and maintenance of landscaping (excluding turf mowing) for 180 days following acceptance. This includes irrigation management, weed control, and plant replacement. A final inspection with City staff will occur at the conclusion of this period.
2. One-Year Warranty Period: The Developer guarantees all improvements for a period of one (1) year. During this period, the Developer must correct any defects or performance issues. The City may recover costs from the Developer for any failure to make necessary repairs.
3. Warranty Inspection: City staff will conduct inspections of the improvements during the warranty period to ensure compliance with Permit standards.
4. Bond Release: Upon acceptance of the improvements, and receipt of a 10% warranty bond guaranteeing the warranty period, the City Engineer is authorized to release all performance bonds secured for the construction of the improvements.
Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action, other than ongoing maintenance responsibilities for City staff once the warranty and plant establishment periods have concluded.
CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 25-XXX, accepting the public park improvements constructed by Olsen Ranch 212, LLC within Royal Oak Meadows Park, pursuant to the Development Agreement and related Permit Agreement, and initiate the plant establishment and warranty periods as outlined.

Council Agenda Report
From: Warren Frace, Community Development Director
Subject: Approval of Operating Memorandum No. 2 of the Olsen-South Chandler Ranch Specific Plan Development Agreement – Allowing for All Electric Subdivision Tract Improvements CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action was analyzed as part of the Olsen– South Chandler Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report SCH#2019011065 and is consistent with Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
Date: July 15, 2025
Facts
1. On February 20, 2020, the Olsen–South Chandler Specific Plan (OSCSP) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) were approved by City Council.
2. Increasing the supply of both single-family residential (SFR) and multi-family residential (MFR) housing production is one of the City Council Adopted Goals for Fiscal Years 2024-2026.
3. The OSCSP allows 1,293 SFR and MFR residential units to be built consistent with the EIR’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which requires project impacts to be mitigated to a level of less than significant, including off-site traffic impact.
4. On February 21, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Development Agreement Operating Memo No. 1. which provided an alternative timing trigger for both off-site traffic improvements and public park improvements; it did not alleviate the improvements from being installed, only changing the timing when they must be installed.
5. On August 6, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Development Agreement Operating Memo No. 1, Amendment 1, to allow additional time to complete off-site public improvements.
6. The Olsen – South Chandler Specific Plan Conditions of Approval and Development Agreement both require installation of public improvements and utilities in all subdivision tracts; which has always been interpreted to include the installation of natural gas infrastructure.
7. On May 20, 2025, Trumark Homes, submitted a request for an Operating Memo to install all electric subdivision tract improvements, without natural gas infrastructure, in Planning Areas (PA) 3, 8, 11 and 12 of the Olsen – South Chandler Specific Plan.
8. The City Manager is authorized to approve Operating Memos but is seeking City Council concurrence, since “all electric” tract improvements and home construction reflects a change from past City practice.
Community Outreach
The OSCSP included a robust public outreach process including a weeklong public charrette, a 45-day public EIR circulation and public hearing at both Planning Commission and City Council.
Options
1. Take no action;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Olsen–South Chandler Specific Plan Development Agreement Operating Memo No. 2;
3. Provide alternative direction.
Analysis and Conclusions
The City’s Climate Action Plan and the California Building Code encourage new residential construction to install all electric appliances and mechanical systems in lieu of natural gas. Consistent with this policy direction, Trumark Homes is proposing to construct “all electric” houses in their portions of the Olsen – South Chandler Specific Plan. Logically, Trumark does not want to spend the time and money installing natural gas lines within the subdivision tract if they are not going to be used. .
Although this request is consistent with City and State greenhouse gas reduction policies, the South Chandler Specific Plan Conditions of Approval and Development Agreement both require installation of public improvements and utilities in all subdivision tracts. Historically, natural gas is installed as a public improvement in all City subdivision tracts. Staff is not opposed to the request, however it is a change from past City practice. The City Manager is seeking City Council concurrence prior to authorizing this Operating Memo. If the City Council approves this request it will only apply to these specific tracts and will not change or modify the requirements of future developers to install natural gas infrastructure as a requirement of development. This action is not intended to be interpreted as a blanket policy decision by the City Council.
Fiscal Impact
There are no new fiscal impacts approving the Operating Memo No. 2.
CEQA Determination
The Olsen–South Chandler Specific Plan and Development Agreement were analyzed as part of the Olsen– South Chandler Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report SCH#2019011065. The requested Operating Memo timing triggers have been analyzed by Central Coast Transportation Consulting and determined to be consistent with Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Therefore, the Operating Memo is consistent with the EIR. As such, no additional CEQA review is required.
Recommendation (Option 2)
Authorize the City Manager to execute Olsen–South Chandler Specific Plan Development Agreement Operating Memo No. 2.

Re: Operating Memorandum-Vinedo Development Agreement
Dear Mr. Frace,
We write this letter following our May 15, 2025, meeting regarding the construction of an "all electric" community within the Vinedo Specific Plan area ("Vinedo"). As you know, Trumark Homes, owns Planning Area 3 ("PA-3") at Vinedo and holds options to purchase PA-11 and PA-12.
Trumark previously advised the City of its intent to construct an "all electric" community in PA-3 and likely in PA's 11 and 12, further advising that Trumark did not intend to construct natural gas facilities within each of these Planning Areas. The City has identified several areas within the Vinedo Development Agreement and the Vinedo Specific Plan which reference "gas", generally, as among the types of utilities that might be provided with Vinedo.
Notwithstanding these general references, it appears that neither the Development Agreement, nor the Vinedo Specific Plan impose an obligation upon the developer to install natural gas facilities within the Planning Areas. Conversely, the Final Environmental Impact Report for Vinedo imposes a mandatory prohibition of "natural-gas-fired appliances for proposed residential development" in order to resolve inconsistencies with the City's Climate Action Plan and the SLOCOG 2019 Regional Transportation Plan. (See FEIR Mitigation Measure GHG-2).
To avoid inconsistent application and for the avoidance of doubt, we ask City staff to seek Council's approval of an Operating Memorandum pursuant to Section 1.7 of the Development Agreement, concluding that neither the Development Agreement, nor the Vinedo Specific Plan, require the construction of "natural gas" facilities within any given Planning Area within Vinedo. To facilitate this effort, we have taken the lead by drafting a proposed Operating Memorandum, attached for your consideration.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and your understanding that this is a pressing matter for Trumark Homes.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 30, 2023
To: David Athey, City of Paso Robles
From: Michelle Matson and Joe Fernandez, CCTC
Subject: Vinedo Intersection Mitigation Recommendations This memorandum summarizes the traffic operations at the following four intersections where the Vinedo development is required to mitigate impacts:
13th Street/Riverside Avenue
13th Street/Paso Robles Street
Creston Road/Scott Street
Niblick Road/South River Road
Construction of improvements at these intersections are currently required prior to the issuance of the 1st or 100th building permit. Vinedo has requested that the improvements occur prior to issuance of the 350th building permit or 12 months following issuance of the 1st building permit, whichever comes first.
Significant impacts would not occur prior to the 350th unit under Near Term Conditions and we support the proposed mitigation timing. The following section summarizes the intersection analysis.

AND OLSEN RANCH 212, LLC
COMPRISING INSUBSTANTIAL MODIFICATIONS
TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The Development Agreement by and among the City of El Paso de Robles (the "City") and Olsen Ranch 212, LLC ("Developer"), dated as of February 14, 2020 and recorded on May 4, 2020 in the O)icial Records of San Luis Obispo County as Document No. 2020021501 (the "Development Agreement"), provides in Section 1.7 of the Development Agreement that refinements and further development of the Project may demonstrate that minor changes are appropriate with respect to the details of the Project development and the performance of the parties under this Agreement.
Specifically, Section 1.7 (a) describes Insubtantial Modification and provides that “. . . any minor modification to the Development Agreement which does not modify (i) the Term of the Development Agreement; (ii) permitted uses of the Property, (iii) maximum density or intensity of use, except as allowed pursuant to Section 2.1.3 of the Development Agreement (Final Lotting) (iv) provisions for the reservation, dedication, acquisition, or abandonment of land or public rights of way, (v) conditions, terms, restrictions or requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, (vi) monetary contributions by Developer, or (vii) any other financial commitments by Developer, including the provisions related to Developer's obligations to finance installation, operations, and maintenance of Project infrastructure and formation and operations of one or more community facilities districts, (any and all of which are hereinafter an "Insubtantial Modification"), and that can be processed under CEQA as exempt from CEQA, or with the preparation of an Addendum to the EIR, shall not require a public hearing prior to the parties executing a modification to the Development Agreement. . .”
The Development Agreement further provides that if and when City and Developer agree that such Insubstantial Modifications are necessary or appropriate, they may implement such clarifications through operating memoranda approved by the City and Developer as insubstantial modifications to the Development Agreement.
City and Developer entered into Operating Memo No. 1, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference to (1) modify the timing of o)-site roadway improvements, (2) modify the timing of the park improvements and (3) modify the o)-site tra)ic improvements credits.
With this Operating Memorandum No. 2, City and Developer wish to clarify certain conditions in the Project Approvals in order to carry out the intent of the City and Developer with respect to the design, development, and implementation of the Project. Capitalized terms used in this Operating Memorandum shall carry the same definitions as those set forth in the Development Agreement.
Exhibit B
A. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Operating Memorandum is to identify a basic framework between the City and Developer to facilitate the construction of certain improvements as contemplated under the terms of the Development Agreement. This Operating Memorandum will reduce certain uncertainties associated with the orderly development of the Project and provide for the e)ective and e)icient development of public facilities, infrastructure, and services as required by the Development Agreement. Except as expressly modified herein and in Operating Memorandum No. 1, the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and e)ect.
B. INSUBSTANTIAL MODIFICATIONS:
The Development Agreement does not impose an obligation upon the developer to install natural gas facilities within the project but does makes several references, when describing utilities generally, to natural gas as among the types of utilities that might be provided within the Vinedo Specific Plan. For example, Section 3 of the Development Agreement, entitled “Developer Obligations” requires under the provisions applicable to “A)ordable Housing” (sub-subsection 3.0.3.3), that:
“. . . Developer agrees to deliver the apartment site (the land comprising Planning Area 1) with the following improvements and modifications completed, as further specified in the Specific Plan and Project Conditions of Approval: 1) all rough grading necessary for the site, 2) frontage improvements on Fontana and Niblick as specified in the Specific Plan, and 3) all utility stubouts, including for water, sewer, natural gas, electricity, telecommunications, and any other utilities as specified in the Specific Plan; all to be completed according to applicable City standards and to the satisfaction of the City's Public Works Director. . . .”
Additionally, Exhibit “D” of the Development Agreement entitled “Planning Area 1— Allocation of Backbone Cost and Fee Credits, which includes Exhibit D to the “Olsen Chandler Ranch Specific Plan PA 1-Fair Share Cost Allocation February 14, 2020”, describes Utilities as “elec., tel., gas, catv”.
Likewise, Exhibit “H” of the Development Agreement, entitled “Fair Share Costs Reimbursement Fee Agreement/Calculations” which includes Exhibit H to the “Olsen Chandler Ranch Specific Plan Developer Cost Allocation February 14, 2020”, describes Utilities as “elec., tel., gas, catv”.
Finally, Section 5.8 of the Vinedo Paso Robles Specific Plan, includes a matrix described as “Major Infrastructure Development Matrix” also identifies “gas” as a utility among the dry utilities that may be installed in any given phase of the Project.
Notwithstanding the above general references, the Olsen/South Chandler Ranch Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”), requires the implementation of Exhibit B
numerous measures designed to mitigate significant impacts resulting from the Project, including but not limited to the following relating to Air Quality (“AQ”) and Green House Gases (“GHG”):
Mitigation Measure AQ-3: To mitigate the long term operational air pollutant emissions that would exceed SLOAPCD daily emissions thresholds, AQ-3 requires, among other things that the Project, “g. Meet or exceed applicable building standards at the time of development for building energy e)iciency with a goal of achieving zero net energy (ZNE) buildings;” “l. All built-in appliances shall comply with California Title 20, Appliance E)iciency Regulations;” and, “m. Utilize on-site renewable energy systems (e.g. solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and/or biogas) su)icient to meet or exceed applicable building standards at the time of development with a goal of achieving ZNE buildings.” Mitigation Measure GHG-2: To resolve inconsistencies with the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) and the SLOCOG 2019 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions GHG-2 includes “all ‘mandatory’ GHG-reduction measures identified in the city’s CAP as well as additional measures to promote zero net energy (ZNE) buildings, including “p. The city shall encourage the use of electrically power appliances (e.g., water heaters, clothes dryers, cooking appliances, pool heating systems).” The City concludes, that references to “gas”, generally, as a utility in the Development Agreement and/or Specific Plan do not impose a mandatory obligation to install gas as a utility within any Planning Area with Vinedo, or otherwise, in anyway prohibit the development of “all-electric” communities; and, that not requiring gas as a utility within Vinedo would be consistent with EIR Mitigation Measures AQ-3 and GHG-2.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this agreement as of the last written date below.

Council Agenda Report
From: Leslie Frazier, City Engineer/Deputy Community Development Director Subject: Acceptance of Public Improvements and Rescind the Rejections of Offers of Right-of-Way Dedications for Tracts 3152 and 3155
CEQA Determination: In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an initial study and environmental impact report (SCH 2019011065) were prepared for the Olsen South Chandler Specific Plan (Vinedo) and were circulated between 10/17/2019 and 12/2/2019. Staff recommends the City Council find that accepting Sherwood Road and Airport Road for public use does not require additional review under CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 and 15182 (no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required, because no “substantial changes” to the project or to the circumstances under which the project was undertaken are proposed, and there are no “new significant environmental effects” or a “substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects” under the existing EIR).
Date: July 15, 2025
Facts
1. The Olsen South Chandler subdivision is located along the eastern boundary of the City, north of Meadowlark Road and west of Hanson Road, as shown on the Vicinity Map in Attachment 2.
2. On September 1, 2020, the City Council approved Final Map Tract 3152 and 3155 for recordation.
On October 7, 2020, the Final Maps were recorded, see Attachments 3 and 4.
3. The Final Maps for Tracts 3152 and 3155 were approved and recorded; however, the City Council rejected without prejudice the offers of dedication for public right-of-way associated with certain portions of Sherwood (shown as Niblick Road on Tract 3152), Airport, and Linne roads.
4. On November 7, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Olsen South Chandler Specific Plan Backbone Infrastructure. The Developer, Olsen Ranch 212, LLC (Developer), entered into the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the City dated October 26, 2023, to construct public improvements associated with Tracts 3153 and 3154 (the “Vinedo Backbone”), see Attachment 5.
5. The SIA was secured by multiple performance bonds for backbone infrastructure across several geographic “Zones,” as depicted in the bond zone map, see Attachment 6.
6. The Developer has constructed the following streets, with associated utilities, storm drain, signage, striping, landscape, and irrigation, in accordance with the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and in compliance with the improvement plans (Permit #E22-0033), and all applicable City standards:
STREET NAME FROM TO MILES
Sherwood Road STA 201+50 STA 248+60 0.892
Airport Road STA 54+80(Linne Rd) STA 75+15 0.385
Linne Road STA 300+00 (Roundabout) STA 308+85 0.168
7. City staff has inspected the work and determined they are the work for these specific areas is substantially complete, except for minor punch list items that do not affect public safety.
8. The remaining punch list items include construction of a curb ramp at Sherwood and Fontana, replacement of the pedestrian railing at Turtle Creek Bridge, and installation of roundabout monumentation signage, street name signage, and monumentation, processed under Permit #ENC25-0117.
9. The remaining segment of Airport Road from Sta 50+00 to Sta 54+80 is currently under construction in accordance with the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and in compliance with the improvement plans, processed under Permit #ENC25-0118.
10. The Applicant has provided Record Drawings and the final certifications to the City Engineer’s satisfaction.
11. The Developer has posted performance bonds that guarantee completion of improvements within the Subdivision Improvement Agreement as shown in the Bond Zone Map, Attachment 6, and referenced below.
VINEDO BACKBONE
BOND ZONE BOND NUMBER BOND AMOUNT
Zone 1 ES00016279 $5,296,200

Zone 5 ES00016280 $2,809,500
Frontage w/out PA13 ES00016276 $2,872,000
12. Since the improvements are substantially complete, the performance bond amounts may be reduced from the original amount to the estimated costs provided by the developer and reviewed by staff for the remaining work in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and Government Code section 66499.7. This will not release the relevant payment bond amounts for this work.
13. The Engineer for the County of San Luis Obispo has developed its estimates for the total remaining work. The total remaining updated bond amounts to be posted includes the remaining costs plus administrative and contingency costs. The updated bond amounts, by Bond Zone are:

Zone 5 ES00016280 $124,500
Frontage w/out PA13 ES00016276 $0
14. The Developer has requested that the City Council accept the portions of the work described above, reduce the bond amount pursuant to Section 6a of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and in conformance with the Subdivision Map Act, and grant the City Engineer the authority to administratively release the performance bonds, and the monumentation bond, once all checklist items are complete and in amounts verified in consultation with the City Manager and City Attorney.
15. In order to accept the work and incorporate the improvements into the City-maintained road network, the City Engineer recommends rescinding the prior rejection of the right-of-way dedications and accepting the dedications as shown on the recorded Final Maps for Tracts 3152 and 3155.
16. The relevant payment bonds are to be accepted after 90 days from the date of the acceptance of the work.
17. The Applicant will provide a 10% warranty bond for public improvements to be held for a oneyear period once the entire project is complete. The partial release of these performance bonds contemplated herein nor the City’s acceptance of the work will not start the warranty period.
Once the one-year period is complete and clear of any deficiency the bond will be returned.
18. Once the remaining non–public safety improvements are completed, staff is authorized to accept the remaining work. These improvements will be completed under a separate encroachment permit and verified through the City’s standard encroachment inspection process.

Sherwood, Airport, and Linne Roads are vital components of the Olsen-South Chandler Specific Plan circulation network, and the associated rights-of-way must be formally accepted into the public system.
The portion of the work, which the Developer was required to complete for this subdivision, have been substantially completed, with reduced bonds in place for the remaining portions of work. Further, the City will at a minimum, retain a Warranty Bond for a one-year period for warranty of the improvements installed. The City Engineer will release the warranty security, after the warranty requirements are satisfied. Acceptance of the work and right-of-way dedications ensures long-term public access, connectivity, and maintenance authority.
If this item is approved, the road is anticipated to be open for public use on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
Fiscal Impact
Upon final acceptance and expiration of the one-year warranty period, the City will assume ongoing maintenance responsibilities for these improvements. These costs are consistent with long-term maintenance planning under the Specific Plan.
CEQA
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an initial study and environmental impact report (SCH 2019011065) were prepared for the Olsen South Chandler Specific Plan (Vinedo) and were circulated between 10/17/2019 and 12/2/2019. Staff recommends the City Council find that accepting Sherwood Road and Airport Road for public use does not require additional review under CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 and 15182 (no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required, because no “substantial changes” to the project or to the circumstances under which the project was undertaken are proposed, and there are no “new significant environmental effects” or a “substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects” under the existing EIR).
Recommendation (Option 2)
Adopt Resolution No. 25-XXX rescinding the prior rejection and formally accepting the right-of-way dedications for those public street segments shown on the Final Maps for Tracts 3152 and 3155, accepting the work on portions of Sherwood, Airport and Linne Roads, reducing the performance bond amounts, and granting the City Engineer the authority to administratively release the reduced bonds for performance, and the monumentation bond, once all checklist items are complete in amounts verified in consultation with the City Manager and City Attorney.
