Item 7a
begins the process by issuing an Informal NOC. This report includes a table in the discussion portion of the report that compares the City process to what is required by the Streets & Highway Code. We are currently in Step 4 Council Authorization of this process.
DISCUSSION
Background
Notice to Correct Process & Procedure
The Streets Maintenance Program, part of the Public Works Department, is responsible for managing the City’s Sidewalk Inspection Program, which includes proactive inspections across all pavement zones. The City is divided into nine pavement zones.
Zones 1 through 8 are inspected on an approximately eight-year cycle, while Zone 9, which includes the downtown area, is inspected annually prior to the holiday season.
Staff inspects all sections of sidewalks within the public right-of-way in each zone and documents any identified damage. If the damage is caused by a City street tree, staff will complete temporary repairs to mitigate the hazard and plan for permanent repairs. If the damage is not caused by a City street tree, Streets Maintenance will, when conditions allow, perform temporary repairs to mitigate the hazard and issue an Informal Notice to Correct (NOC) to the adjacent property owner to ensure that a permanent repair is completed.
The Streets Superintendent uses the damage thresholds outlined in the City’s Sidewalk Inspection Program (documented under Section II Sidewalk Review) to determine whether repairs or replacements are needed. In all cases, staff seeks to work collaboratively with property owners to achieve voluntary compliance. For minor damage, repairs may be sufficient to correct the defect; however, severely deteriorated sections— such as those shown in Figure 1—are beyond repair and must be replaced. The Superintendent of Streets is responsible for determining the appropriate level of repair or replacement, which is specified in Formal Notices to Correct.
Item 7a
Sidewalk Inspection Action Thresholds
Vertical displacements ¾” or greater
Sidewalk slopes that exceed 5:1
Cracks and holes with gaps of ½” or greater
In addition to identifying sidewalk hazards through proactive inspections, the City also receives reports of sidewalk deficiencies through Ask SLO and similar community reporting tools.
The following procedure was developed by City staff in 2019 to standardize the informal notice process and encourage cooperation, avoid adversarial enforcement, provide flexibility and due process. The Informal NOC notifies the property owner of the relevant code requirements and their responsibility to correct conditions along the frontage of their property. The notice acknowledges that receiving such a letter may be unexpected and outlines the following recommended timeline for corrective action:
Within 30 calendar days: Acknowledge receipt of the notice. Within 60 calendar days: Submit repair plans to the City for review and issuance of an encroachment permit.
Within 90 calendar days: Obtain an encroachment permit. Within 120 calendar days: Complete the work to the satisfaction of the City.
The notice also recognizes that sidewalk repairs can be costly and invites property owners to propose alternate timelines for the City’s consideration.
If a property owner does not respond to the notice or engage in the process within 180 days of receiving the first Informal Notice to Correct (NOC), a second Informal NOC will be issued. This second notice provides the property owner with a new deadline—no less than 90 days—to begin the required work.
If no action is taken within that timeframe, staff will seek City Council authorization to proceed with a Formal NOC. If the property owner demonstrates meaningful progress, the item will be removed from the Council agenda, and staff will continue working with the property owner to achieve voluntary compliance. If progress is not made, staff will present the specific sidewalk conditions to the City Council. The presentation also provides an opportunity for the property owner and the public to offer testimony. If the Council
Item 7a
authorizes issuance of a Formal NOC, the California Streets and Highways Code (SHC) mandates that the property owner must begin the required work within 14 days after the first Formal NOC is served in accordance with Streets & Highways Code §§ 5611-5614.
If the work does not begin within that statutorily mandated 14-day timeframe, the City will complete the repairs and return to Council for a public hearing to affirm the costs and the recovery from the property owner (SHC §§5616-5618.) At that hearing, staff will present a report detailing the completed work, the total repair costs, the affected property, and the proposed assessment against the property owner to recover those costs. The Council may modify or confirm staff’s report.
In accordance with SHC, if the City Council authorizes the assessment and the property owner does not pay within five days, a lien will be placed on the property following the procedures in SHC §§ 5625–5627. Alternatively, the Council may choose to have the lien collected through the County as part of the property tax bill (SHC § 5628), or allow the property owner to repay the amount in up to five annual installments (SCH § 5628.1).
These decisions are not required at this time and would be made later in the process, specifically during Steps 7 and 8 outlined below.
The table below shows the steps in the City process as compared to the requirements of the Streets & Highways Code.

Public hearing before Council to
present completed work and
costs.
Required under SHC § 5616–5618.
The City must notify the property
owner and hold a hearing to confirm
costs and allow for objections.
8. Assessment

If unpaid after hearing: - Costs
become a special assessment
and lien. - May be added to tax
rolls or paid in installments.
Required and detailed in SHC §§
5625–5629: - Costs become a
special assessment and lien.
It should be noted that the Steps shown in the table above are a combination of requirements of the SHC. Steps 1 through 4 are not required by the SHC or other applicable City codes or standards. The City prioritizes voluntary compliance as the first step in addressing sidewalk deficiencies. Because the SHC establishes specific procedures and timelines once a Formal Notice to Correct (NOC) is issued, the City begins the process by issuing an Informal NOC. We are currently in Step 4 Council Authorization of this process.
Specific Locations
Issuing Notices to Correct (NOCs) falls within the scope of the Street Maintenance Program in the Public Works Department. During the 2023–24 fiscal year, the program faced staffing shortages, resulting in a backlog of unresolved NOC cases. With the program now fully staffed, staff resumed work on ten previously inactive cases in the fall of 2024. Of those, two have been resolved, and eight remain open as of the preparation of this report. It is important to note that all cases currently before the Council originated from community member complaints, not from proactive enforcement. All identified problems with the sidewalk are related to concrete failures. These concrete failures have displaced the sidewalk horizontally and vertically which create trip and fall risks for sidewalk users and increased liability concerns for the City. To mitigate this user risk and liability for the City the sidewalk must be replaced.
Attachment A provides detailed information for each outstanding NOC case, including photographs, a timeline of correspondence, and estimated replacement costs should Council authorize issuance of the formal NOCs and the property owners fail to take corrective action. In every case, property owners received at least two Informal NOCs
Item 7a
and supporting documentation via both certified and standard mail. Additionally, many property owners—or their representatives—have communicated with staff by phone or email, and some have met with staff on-site to discuss the conditions. On-site discussions included repair methods and limits, and reasoning for the determination. One of the property owners who met with staff objects to the determination and feels the sidewalk is not out of compliance and does not pose a safety risk. Another property owner stated the determination is subjective and not supported by data, or direct reference to applicable standards. Other property owners acknowledge the requirement and need but have had challenges obtaining a contractor or funding to complete the work. To date, three of the properties have been issued encroachment permits for the corrective work.
Next Steps
If the Council authorizes the staff recommendations, the next step will be to issue Formal Notices to Correct (NOCs) to all property owners who have not yet taken the required corrective actions. These notices will be delivered via certified and standard mail and will also be physically posted on the property. If work has not commenced within seven days of the first notice, a second Formal NOC will be issued.
In accordance with the California Streets and Highways Code (§ 5614), property owners have 14 days from the issuance of the first Formal NOC to begin the necessary work. If the work is not initiated within this timeframe, the City will proceed with repairs using its Job Order Contract (JOC) contractor, who was selected through the public bidding process.
For four of the eight properties, the sidewalk repairs involve shared approaches. In these cases, the repair estimates reflect the full cost of the shared work, with costs split between the adjacent properties. All estimates include a standard 15% contingency to account for unforeseen construction needs. Although shared, each site will be billed independently if work is performed by the JOC contractor.
Once the repairs are completed, staff will return to Council for a public hearing. At that time, staff will present a summary of the completed work, the cost of repairs, a description of the affected properties, and the proposed assessments for each parcel. The Council may modify or confirm staff’s report of costs. The Council may then authorize staff to pursue cost recovery. If a property owner fails to pay the assessed amount, the Council may authorize placing a lien on the property in the amount of the unpaid costs, as discussed above.
Public Engagement
All impacted property owners have been sent multiple notices by standard and certified mail, email communication, and in some instances met with staff on-site.
CONCURRENCE
Item 7a
The recommended actions are supported by the Administration Department and the City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
If the City chooses to move forward with replacement of sidewalks as recommended by this report, the work would be categorically except from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (maintenance or repair of existing public or private structures involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use) and Section 15304 (minor alteration to land involving minor trenching and backfilling where the surface is restored.)

Staff is recommending funding this work using the CIP Reserve account. The current balance of the CIP Reserve account is $331,377, and the cumulative cost to complete the work at all locations is $178,102, leaving a balance of $153,275 in the CIP Reserve account. If Council authorizes staff to pursue cost recovery at the future second public hearing, all recovered costs would be returned to the CIP Reserve account upon collection.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could direct revisions to the informal NOC process. Staff welcomes Council’s input and direction on this process.
Council could decide not to authorize issuance of formal NOCs. Council could direct staff to continue working with property owners to obtain voluntary compliance. As seen in
Item 7a
Attachment A, staff have been working with many of the property owners since 2023 (in one case, since 2021) and have been unable to obtain voluntary compliance.
Council could decide not to authorize use of CIP reserve funds to complete the repairs if owners fail to do so. Once the formal NOC is issued under the SHC, the City is required to complete the necessary repairs/replacement if the owners fail to do so.
Other than the CIP reserve, no other funding source has been identified for completing this work. If Council does not approve of the use of CIP reserves staff would review other projects to determine if this need is a higher priority and return to Council with a different funding recommendation.
The Council may direct staff to complete curb, gutter, and sidewalk replacement outside the process outlined in the Streets and Highways Code. Under this approach, staff would continue to coordinate with property owners to schedule the necessary work. The City would hire a contractor to perform the replacements and cover the full cost of construction. Property owners would not be required to contribute funding, and no further Council action would be needed. However, this approach could reduce future voluntary compliance from property owners with deficient sidewalks and may lead to increased long-term maintenance costs for the City.

DIVISION 7. THE IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1911 [5000 - 6794]
PART 3. PERFORMING THE WORK [5100 - 5954]
CHAPTER 22. Maintenance of Sidewalks [5600 - 5630]
ARTICLE 1. General Provisions [5600 - 5602]
5600.
As used in this chapter “sidewalk” includes a park or parking strip maintained in the area between the property line and the street line and also includes curbing, bulkheads, retaining walls or other works for the protection of any sidewalk or of any such park or parking strip. 5601.
This chapter shall only apply to maintenance and repair proceedings, whether upon work originally done under this division or otherwise, and shall not be used for the construction of new improvements. The “Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931” shall not apply to proceedings taken under this chapter. 5602.
This chapter constitutes a separate and alternate procedure for performing the work specified herein and, except for the provisions of Part 5 of this division, no other provisions of this division shall apply to proceedings instituted hereunder.
ARTICLE 2. Repairs [5610 - 5618]
5610.
The owners of lots or portions of lots fronting on any portion of a public street or place when that street or place is improved or if and when the area between the property line of the adjacent property and the street line is maintained as a park or parking strip, shall maintain any sidewalk in such condition that the sidewalk will not endanger persons or property and maintain it in a condition which will not interfere with the public convenience in the use of those works or areas save and except as to those conditions created or maintained in, upon, along, or in connection with such sidewalk by any person other than the owner, under and by virtue of any permit or right granted to him by law or by the city authorities in charge thereof, and such persons shall be under a like duty in relation thereto.
5611.
When any portion of the sidewalk is out of repair or pending reconstruction and in condition to endanger persons or property or in condition to interfere with the public convenience in the use of such sidewalk, the superintendent of streets shall notify the owner or person in possession of the property fronting on that portion of such sidewalk so out of repair, to repair the sidewalk. 5612.
Notice to repair may be given by delivering a written notice personally to the owner or to the person in possession of the property facing upon the sidewalk so out of repair, or by mailing a postal card, postage prepaid, to the person in possession of such property, or to the owner thereof at his last known address as the same appears on the last equalized assessment rolls of such city or to the name and address of the person owning such property as shown in the records of the office of the clerk.
5613.
The postal card shall contain a notice to repair the sidewalk so out of repair, and the superintendent of streets shall, immediately upon the mailing of the notice, cause a copy thereof printed on a card of not less than 8 inches by 10 inches in size, to be posted in a conspicuous place on the property.
In lieu of posting a copy of the mailed notice on the property as provided in this section, the superintendent of streets may, not less than seven days nor more than 10 days after the mailing of the first postal card notice, mail an additional postal card, postage prepaid, marked “Second Notice,” to the person to whom the first postal card notice was addressed. The second notice shall otherwise contain the material required by this article, but shall not extend the time for commencing repairs specified in Section 5614.
5614.
The notice shall particularly specify what work is required to be done, and how it is to be done, and what materials shall be used in the repair and shall further specify that if the repair is not commenced within two weeks after notice is given and diligently and without interruption prosecuted to completion, the superintendent of streets shall make such repair, and the cost of the same shall be a lien on the property.
5614.1.
The legislative body may adopt a resolution determining that bonds shall be issued and assessments collected and enforced pursuant to Part 5 of this division. In such event, the notice to repair shall specify that bonds shall be issued to represent the security of the unpaid assessments, payable over a period of not to exceed six years, and shall further recite a maximum rate of interest to be paid on the indebtedness, which shall not exceed 7 percent a year, payable semiannually. 5615.
If the repair is not commenced and prosecuted to completion with due diligence, as required by the notice, the superintendent of streets shall forthwith repair the sidewalk. Upon the written request of the owner of the property facing the sidewalk so out of repair, as ascertained from the last equalized assessment roll of the city, or as shown in the records of the office of the clerk, the superintendent may repair any other portion of the sidewalk fronting on the property that is designated by the owner. The superintendent shall have power to prescribe the form of the written request. The cost of repair work done by request pursuant to this section shall be a part of the cost of repairs for which, pursuant to this chapter, subsequent notices are given, hearings held and assessment and collection procedures are conducted.
5616.
Upon the completion of the repair, the superintendent of streets shall cause notice of the cost of the repair to be given in the manner specified in this article for the giving of notice to repair, which notice shall specify the day, hour and place when the legislative body will hear and pass upon a report by the superintendent of streets of the cost of the repair together with any objections or protests, if any, which may be raised by any property owner liable to be assessed for the cost of such repair and any other interested persons. If bonds are to be issued, the notice shall also contain the information required by Section 5614.1.
5617.
Upon the completion of the repair, the superintendent of streets shall prepare and file with the legislative body a report specifying the repairs which have been made, the cost of the repairs, a description of the real property in front of which the repairs have been made and the assessment against each lot or parcel of land proposed to be levied to pay the cost thereof. Any such report may include repairs to any number of parcels of property, whether contiguous to each other or not. 5618.
Upon the day and hour fixed for the hearing the legislative body shall hear and pass upon the report of the superintendent of streets, together with any objections or protests which may be raised by any of the property owners liable to be assessed for the work of making such repair and any other interested persons. Thereupon the legislative body may make such revision, correction or modifications in the report as it may deem just, after which, by motion or resolution, the report as submitted, or as revised, corrected or modified, shall be confirmed. The legislative body may adjourn the hearings from time to time. The decisions of the legislative body on all protests and objections which may be made, shall be final and conclusive.
ARTICLE 3. Collection of Cost of Repair [5625 - 5630]
5625.
The cost of the repair may be assessed by the legislative body against the parcel of property fronting upon the sidewalk upon which such repair was made, and such cost so assessed, if not paid within five days after its confirmation by the legislative body, shall constitute a special assessment against that parcel of property, and shall be a lien on the property for the amount thereof which lien shall continue until the assessment and all interest thereon is paid, or until it is discharged of record. 5626.
The superintendent of streets may file in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the parcel of property is located, a certificate substantially in the following form:
NOTICE OF LIEN
Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Improvement Act of 1911, I did, on the ____ day of ____, 19_, cause the sidewalk, curb, or park or parking strip, bulkheads, retaining walls, or other
works (as the case may be) in front of the real property hereinafter described, to be repaired and improved, and the legislative body of said city (county, or city and county) did, on the ____ day of ____, 19_, by Resolution No. ____ assess the cost of such repair upon the real property hereinafter described, and the same has not been paid nor any part thereof, and the said city (county, or city and county), does hereby claim a lien on said real property in the sum of ____ dollars ($____), and the same shall be a lien upon said real property until the said sum, with interest at the rate of ___ percent per annum, from the said ____ day of ____, 19_ (insert date of confirmation of assessment), has been paid in full and discharged of record.
The real property hereinbefore mentioned and upon which a lien is claimed, is that certain piece or parcel of land lying and being in the (name of city, or city and county) the county of ____, State of ____, and particularly described as follows:
(Description of property)
Dated this _____ day of ____, 19___.
Superintendent of Streets
5627.
From and after the date of the recording of the notice of lien, all persons shall be deemed to have had notice of the contents thereof. The notice of lien may include claims against one or more separate parcels of property, whether contiguous or not, together with the amount due, respectively, from each such parcel. The statute of limitation shall not run against the right of the city to enforce the payment of the lien. If any such lien is not paid the city may file and maintain an action to foreclose such lien in the same manner and under the same procedure, so far as applicable, as that under which delinquent bonds are foreclosed under this division. 5628.
As an alternative method of collection of the amount of the lien, the legislative body, after confirmation of the report of the superintendent of streets, may order the notice of lien to be turned over to the assessor and the tax collector of the city, whereupon it shall be the duty of those officers to add the amount of the assessment to the next regular bill for taxes levied against the lot or parcel of land. If city taxes are collected by the county officials, the notice of lien shall be delivered to the county auditor, who shall enter the amount thereof on the county assessment book opposite the description of the particular property and the amount shall be collected together with all other taxes thereon against the property. The notice of lien shall be delivered to the county auditor before the date fixed by law for the delivery of the assessment book to the county board of equalization. 5628.1.
The legislative body shall have the power, in its discretion, to determine that the payment of assessments of one hundred dollars ($100) or more may be made in annual installments, not to
exceed five, and that the payment of assessments so deferred shall bear interest on the unpaid balance at a rate to be determined by the legislative body, not to exceed the rate permitted for bonds by Section 53531 of the Government Code. Interest shall begin to run on the 31st day after the confirmation of the assessments by the legislative body. Determinations of the legislative body shall be expressed by resolution at any time prior to the confirmation of the assessments. 5629.
Thereafter the amount of the lien shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary city taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and interest and to the same procedure under foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary city taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of city taxes and county taxes are hereby made applicable to such special assessment taxes. 5629.1.
If bonds are to be issued to represent the security of the unpaid assessments, upon confirmation of the report by the legislative body the superintendent of streets shall give notice to pay by mail and by publication substantially in the manner provided by Sections 4320 and 4321 of this code. The period for payment in cash stated therein shall be 30 days following the date of confirmation of the report. Upon completion of the cash payment period, the superintendent of streets shall file with the county recorder a certificate substantially in the form set out in Section 5626, giving notice therein that interest is payable at a rate to be fixed upon the sale of bonds, which rate shall not exceed the rate permitted for bonds by Section 53531 of the Government Code, and shall begin to run on the 31st day after the confirmation of the report. Thereafter the provisions of Part 5 (commencing with Section 6400) shall be applicable and payments on assessments at bond shall be made as therein provided. The bonds may be issued and sold as the legislative body directs and may be dated at any time after the expiration of the cash payment period. 5630.
Whenever the property fronting on a sidewalk required to be maintained and repaired pursuant to the provisions of this chapter lies within one city or unincorporated territory of a county, and the sidewalk required to be so maintained and repaired lies within another city or unincorporated territory of a county, the superintendent of streets of the city or county having jurisdiction over the sidewalk shall have full authority to serve notices to repair and do all work contemplated by Articles 2 and 3 of this chapter, notwithstanding the fact that the property fronting on the sidewalk lies within another city or unincorporated territory of a county. The legislative body of the city or county within which the sidewalk has been repaired pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall have jurisdiction to levy an assessment to pay the cost of any such sidewalk repairs against the parcel of property fronting on said sidewalk, notwithstanding the fact that said property lies within another city or unincorporated territory of a county and said assessment shall be a lien on said property for the amount thereof until the assessment and all interest thereon is paid or until it is discharged of record.
The provisions of Sections 5628 and 5629 of this code shall be applicable to the collection and enforcement of all liens levied pursuant to the provisions of this section and the amount so
collected shall be paid to the treasurer of the city or county as the case may be which conducted the proceedings.
RESOLUTION NO. ________ (2025 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SAN LUIS OBISPO,
CALIFORNIA, FORMALIZING THE CITY’S PROCEDURES FOR
ISSUING INFORMAL AND FORMAL NOTICES TO CORRECT
SIDEWALK AND FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENT DEFICIENCIES

Areas of less severe damage are completed as the
next priority, working around the City in asystematic fashion in advance of the paving program. That can mean the sidewalk will not be
replaced for several years. Damage other thanthat caused by street trees needs to be completed by the propefty owner.
Related to sidewalk repair is clearance and
visibility. When is maintenance required?
. Visibility - When parkway strip shrubbery
interferes with the ability of a driver to see
pedestrians or approaching traffic, either
frorn a driveway or an intersection, trimming
of shrubs must be completed by the property
owner. Shrubs must be trimmed to a
maxinrum height of 36", for a minimumdistance of 30' fiom an intersection. (Municipal Code 10.60 and 17. 16.020)
. Walkway and Cutter Clearance * Trimming
of ground cover or shrubs is required whenthe plants extend onto or over the sidewalk, gutter, or street.
. Parkway Strip Condition - All tree stumps,
large rocks, trash and holes tnust be removed
by the property owner. The parkway strip
must be level and holes must be filled and
leveled with dirt or other material.
When is a permit required for landscape
maintenance work?
lf the sidewalk or the street must be closed for
the work, a permit is required from Public
Works. Call (805)73 l-701 5 for additional
infbrmation. lf a tree is to be removed, a tree
removal permit must be obtained. Applications

'l-he City receives many requests flonr citizens to
make repairs to sidewalks. Th is brochure
provides general information to the public on this
subject.
What is the sidewalk, parkway, and curb and
gutter? 't'he sidewalk, parkway strip, and curb & gutter are typically rnade of concrete and located next
to the street on the front and/or side portion of
your propefty. The curb and gutter are located atthe edge of the street pavement. The sidewalk iseither separated from the curb by a parkwaystrip, or is located adjacent to the curb.
Parkways are sometimes planted or filled in with
brick or other rnaterials.
Who is responsible for maintenance? -l'he properly owner is responsible for properly rraintaining this area (see San Luis Obispo
Municipal Code Section 12.16.020 and Streets
and tlighway Code Division 7. Part 3, Chapter22). This responsibility includes maintenance of damaged or displaced concrete and abaternent ofweeds or debris. While the City may be liable forinjuries to pedestrians that are determined to have resulted from a dangerous condition of a
public sidewalk, propefty owners should beaware that they may also be found liable if it is determined that their negligence caused someone
to be harrned.When should property owners consider doing sidewalk replacement?
Replacernent of the sidewalk, curb and gutter
concrete should be considered when one or n.loreof the following exists:
r When there is a vertical difference in height
hetween sections of the sidewalk or concrete
parkway strip of 3/4" or more.
r Ifthe concrete has broken apart.
r In any instance where the owner has reason
to know that the condition presents a danger
to users, or the owner has observed someone
trip because of damage to the surface.
In addition to damaged sections of sidewalk, curb
and gutter replacernent is typically required whensidewalks and driveways are replaced, unless thesidewalk is separated fiotn the curb by a parkway. Patching should be cornpleted whenhorizontal openings greater than l/2" exist.
What are the options available for completing
the work?
The City recommends construction of curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks in C ity streets beperfonned by a properly licensed and insured contractor. A perrnit is required for concrete repair. Call (805)781-701 5 for permit requirements.
Are there inspections and standards for
concrete repair work?
Yes, all work and materials must be in
confbrmance with the City of San Luis Obispo
Engineering Standards for Public Works
Construction.Before placing any concrete, you must have any tree root renroval apploved, and the saw cut,
forms, and base inspected. After approval, a
City-approved concrete mix must be used. Thesurface finish must be a light broom finish with score rnarks. After the work is completed, youmust call for a final inspection.
A perrnit is required for all concrete work in the
public right-of-way. Engineering Standards for
construction are available on the City's web site
on the Public Works page www.slocity.org. For
information on obtaining a pennit call (805)781- tjt 5. ls the property owner responsible for repairs
if the concrete damage is caused by a tree?
The City encourages street trees in front ofresidences. (Municipal Code 12.24.010) T'he property owner is responsible fbr the
rnaintenance of the street tree but the City willrepair the sidewalk when the concrete has been damaged by a street tree, as funding is available.and tirned with the area rotation program.
Concrete damaged by trees other than street trees is the responsibility of the property owner.
Maintenance, trimrning and replacement of street
trees and shrubs is governed by Chapter
12.24.110, 12.24.120 and 12.24.150 of the
MunicipalCode.
What measures should be taken to minimize
concrete displacement by tree roots?Ceftain species of trees rnay raise concrete if preventative maintenance is not performed. Toreduce the chance of future concrete displacement, trees can be root-pruned. Caremust be taken when root pruning to avoid darnaging underground utilities or destabilizing
or harming the tree. This work must be cornpleted
by a licensed arborist. Also, deep- watering tlre
tree, that is, applying a slow trickle of water
over a 24-hour period, encourages deeper root
growth which reduces the chance of sidewalkdamage.
lf a problem is reported to the City, how long
does it take for a repair?
When a report is made to the City, it is entered
in to the work order program. Subject to the
availability of resources and personnel, the Citywill attenrpt to review the site within a week of entry of the work order. lf a ternporary repair,such as grinding or ramping the area can bemade, the City will generally attempt to complete that work within two weeks. Severe darnagecaused by a street tree, which cannot be repaired adequately, will be reconstructed as soon asresources and available personnel allow.

and gutter replacenrent is typically required whensidewalks and driveways are replaced, unless thesidewalk is separated florr the curb by a parkway. Patching should be completed when
horizontal openings greater than l/2" exist.
What are the options available for completing
the work?
The City recommends construction of curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks in C ity streets be
perfonned by a properly licensed and insured
contractor. A pennit is required for concrete repair. Call (805)781-7015 for permit requirements.
Are there inspecfions and standards for
concrete repair work?Yes. all work and materials must be in conformance with the City of San Luis Obispo
Engineering Standards for Public Works
Construction.Before placing any concrete, you must have any tree root renroval approved, and the saw cut,
forms, and base inspected. After approval, a
City-approved concrete mix must be used. The
surface flnish rnust be a light broom finish withscore marks. After the work is completed, youmust call for a final inspeclion.
A perrnit is required for all concrete work in the
public right-of-way. Engineering Standards for
construction are available on the City's web site
on the Public Works page www.slocity.org. For
information on obtaining a pennit call (805)781-
7015.ls the property owner responsible for repairs
if the concrete damage is caused by a tree?
1'he City encourages street trees in front ofresidences" (Municipal Code 12.24.010) The propefiy owner is responsible for the
nraintenance of the street tree but the City willrepair the sidewalk when the concrete has been damaged by a street tree, as funding is available.
and tirrred with the area rotation program.
Concrete damaged by trees other than street trees is the responsibility of the propefty owner.
Maintenance. frimming and replacement of street
trees and shrubs is governed by Chapter
12.24.110. 12.24.120 and 12.24.150 of the
MunicipalCode.
What measures should be taken to minimize
concrete displacement by tree roots?Certain species of trees rnay raise concrete ifpreventative maintenance is not performed. To reduce the chance of futr.rre concrete
displacement, trees can be root-prr-rned. Caremust be taken when root pruning to avoid darnaging underground utilities or destabilizing
or harming the tree. This work must be cornpletedby a licensed arborist. AIso, deep- watering the tree, that is, applying a slow trickle of waterover a 24-hour period, encourages deeper mot growth which reduces the chance of sidewalkdamage.
lf a problem is reported to the City, how long
does it take for a repair?
When a report is made to the City, it is entered
in to the work order program. Subject to the
availability of resources and personnel. the City will atterlpt to review the site within a week of entry of the work order. lf a ternporary repair,such as grinding or ramping the area can bemade, the City will generally attempt to complete that work within two weeks. Severe danragecaused by a street tree, which cannot be repaired adequately, will be reconstructed as soon asresources and available personnel allow.

APN:001-191-003
Dear Property Owne;
The sidewalk and driveway apron adjacent to your property at 368 Chorro St. in the City of San Luis Obispo must be repaired. This is the section of sidewalk at 368 Chorro St., and the neighboring driveway apron at 368 Chorro St. is considered a dangerous condition that must be mitigated. The condition of the concrete has deteriorated so severely that a temporary repair effort by Public Works staff would fail in a very short time and make the sidewalk more of a hazard. This sidewalk was brought to our attention by a citizen complaint.
The City of San Luis Obispo's Municipal Code identifies the curb, gutter, and sidewalk adjacent to your property as being the maintenance responsibility of the property owner, in this case, Christopher and Anne Hodges 2009 Revocable Trust

Greetings Mr. Rourke,
I have been asked to provide you with the requested clarifications regarding your 3114124 email (below) A question-and-answer format will be used to facilitate a response. e: The section you cited (12.16.020)does not mention driveway replacement, only curb gutter and sidewalkA: The referenced municipal code (1216.020) does not mention driveway replacement, or curb, or gutter.
It simply states that the City of SLO has adopted the State's Streets and Highways Code for maintenance' repair, and collection of costs of such appurtenances.
12.16.020 PropertYowner's qe-g n
resPonsibility.
The maintena nce, repair and collection of the cost o{ repair shall be governed by the procedure set forth in Division 7 , Parl3, Chapler 22 ot lhe Streets and Code of the state lRrior code E 7330.11
e: Ihe streets and highwoy code you cite only mentions sidewolks. I don't see dny authority to require the driveway replacement, con you Provide that?
A: There appears to be a misunderstanding on this topic. Having reviewed the Notice of Correction sent to the property owner dated October 16,2023, there is no mention of driveway replacement' The Noiice of Correction reads; "The sidewotk and drivewoy opron adjacent to your property ot 368 Chorro St. in the City of Son Luis Obispo must be repoired.
This is the section of sidewotk ot 368 Chorro St., ond the neighboring driveway apron ot 368 Chorro St. is considered a dangerous c.ondition that must be mitigoted."
It is the driveway apron as an integral part of the "sidewalk area" that has been found deficient, not the driveway proper behind the line of the designated sidewalk area.
The driveway apron as being integral to the "sidewalk area" is clarified in City municipal code 12.16.010, in both paragraphs 3 and 7 which state:
12.16.010 Definitions. qe-9, D
A As used in flrrs chapter" unless it is plainly evident frorn the context ttwreof that a diffen€filrneanrirq s inlenrjed, the following teens shall have the nreaning specifrcd after each wurd
1l "CltV.means #Te crty o{ San l_uis Obispc, Gafufornna. 2 "Cutbllne'' means tlre top of the verllcal face of the curb
3. "Drivewaf means afiy appwJach to or from the street over and upon the curb, gutt-er or sideuvalk areal.o permrtvehicular trafiic into the abulting property
4 "Director" means the public works director or his or her aulhorized represenlalive,
5. .Ownef

7. "sidewalk area' means end includes a park or parkirg stnp maintained in the area between the property line and the curbline and also includes a driveway, curbing, bulkhead, retaining wall, sidewalk or other works for the protection of any sidewalk or walkway or any such park or parking strip located in any public street, way or thoroughfare within the city.
Q: lhe sidewalk while cracked seems very flot and unlikely to cause any more dangerous conditions than most of the sidewalk in the neighborhood.
A: While I have not been on site with a ruler to measure the deviations, the images from the notice of correction show significant structural damage with missing pieces of concrete with past attempts at patching.
Staff are generally looking fordeviations of more lhanY+of anO inch in height, or obvious structural issues,-or any conditions that may cause a trip hazard.
Judging by the image alone, it appears to show past patching attempts, significant structural damage, and void areas that create deviations in elevations that could pose a trip hazard. 2
Q'. How does the city fix sidewalks?
A: This has two main answers.
1. ln cases where the sidewalk fronts city owned property, or, the sidewalk damage was caused by a city owned street tree.
For minor construction, city employees will attempt a temporary grind, patch, ramp of the area. lf additional work is required, city staff will use industry standards to remove and install new right of way appurtenances.
For major construction, the city will often work with qualified contractors, in conjunction with engineering inspectors and plan-sets to complete right of way repairs.
2. ln cases where the sidewalk fronts private/commercial property and the sidewalk damage is not caused by a city owned street tree.
The city will often attempt minor repairs through grind/patch/ramp approach.
The city will also review pending projects to see if any large projects are planned for the area that might affect any noted existing deviation.
The final option is to send notice of corrections to alert the property owner of their legal obligation regarding the topic area(s).
Q. why does it feet efforts here would be less effective than in other places? A: My apologies. I don't quite understand the question.
It apfears the general area was the topic of a citizen's complaint, with a resulting city inspection, and resulting correction notices.
Q: Can you provide a copy of the citizens comploint?
A: Yes. A redacted version is attached.
I hope this answers your questions and provides you with the information sought. lf you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Thank you.

An item has been added to October 1, 2024 City Council Agenda to seek authorization for the City to complete the repairs and seek reimbursement. Routing for CouncilAgenda Reports starts 30 days before the Council meeting.
The Gity of San Luis Obispo's Municipal Code identifies the curb, gutter and sidewalk adjacent to your property as being the maintenance responsibility of the property owner, in this case, Maddalena Roland C Exemption Trust.

Areas of less severe damage are completed as the
next priority, working around the City in asystematic fashion in advance of the paving program. That can mean the sidewalk will not be
replaced for several years. Damage other thanthat caused by street trees needs to be completed by the property owner.
Related to sidewalk repair is clearance and
visibility. When is maintenance required?
. Visibility When parkway strip shrubbery
interferes with the ability of a driver to seepedestrians or approaching traffic, either from a driveway or an intersection, trimming
of shrubs must be completed by the property
owner. Shrubs must be trimmed to amaximurn height of 36", for a minimum distance of 30' fiom an intersection.(Municipal Code 10.60 and 17.16.020) . Walkway and Gutter Clearance - Trimming
of ground cover or shrubs is required whenthe plants extend onto or over the sidewalk, gutter, or street.
. Parkway Strip Condition - All tree stumps,
large rocks, trash and holes must be removed
by the property owner. The parkway strip
must be level and holes must be filled and
leveled with dirt or other material.
When is a permit required for landscape
maintenance work?
If the sidewalk or the street must be closed for
the work, a permit is required from Public
Works. Call (805)781-701 5 for additional
infbrmation. tf a tree is to be removed, a tree
removal pennit must be obtained. Applications
for tree removal are available on the City's web
site on the Public Works page www.slocit-v.orgor call 78 l-7220 for additional information' C,NJ-

Rev Ll1.l3
'fhe City receives many requests from citizens to
rnake repairs to sidewalks. This brochure
provides general information to the public on this
subject.What is the sidewalk, parkway, and curb and
gutter?The sidewalk, parkway strip, and curb & gutter
are typically made of concrete and located next
to the street on the front and/or side portion of
your propefty. The curb and gutter are located atthe edge of the sheet pavement. The sidewalk iseither separated from the curb by a parkway strip, or is located adjacent to the curb.
Parkways are sometimes planted or filled in with
brick or other rnaterials.
Who is responsible for maintenance? -l'he property owner is responsible for properly rnaintaining this area (see San Luis Obispo
Municipal Code Section 12.16.020 and Streets
and tlighway Code Division 7, Part 3, Chapter
22). This responsibility includes maintenance of
darnaged or displaced concrete and abaternent ofweeds or debris. While the City may be Iiable forin-juries to pedestrians that are determined to have resulted from a dangerous condition of a
public sidewalk, propeny owners should beaware that they rnay also be found liable if it is determined that their negligence caused someone
to be harmed.
When should property owners consider doing
sidewalk replacement?
Replacement of the sidewalk, curb and gutter
concrete should be considered when one or more
of the following exists:r When there is a vertical difference in height between sections of the sidewalk or concrete
parkway strip of 3/4" or more.
r Ifthe concrete has broken apart.r In any instance where the owner has reason to know that the condition presents a danger
to users, or the owner has observed someone
trip because of damage to the surface.
In addition to darnaged sections of sidewalk, curb
and gutter replacement is typically required whensidewalks and driveways are replaced, unless thesidewalk is separated fiorn the curb by a parkway. Patching should be completed when
horizontal openings greater than l/2" exist.
What are the options available for completingthe work?
The City recommends construction of curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks in C ity streets beperfonned by a properly licensed and insuredcontractor. A permit is required for concrete repair. Call (80-s)781-701-5 for permit requirements.Are there inspections and standards for
concrete repair work?Yes, all work and materials must be in conformance with the City of San Luis Obispo
Engineering Standards for Public Works
Construction.Before placing any concrete. you must have any tree root renroval approved, and the saw cut,
forrns, and base inspected. After approval, a
City-approved concrete mix rnust be used. Thesurface finish must be a light broom finish with score rnarks. After the work is completed, youmust call for a final inspection.
A pennit is required for all concrete work in the
public right-of-way. Engineering Standards for
construction are available on the City's web site
on the Public Works page www.slocity.org. For
information on obtaining a pennit call (805)78 l70r5.
ls the property owner responsible for repairs
if the concrete damage is caused by a tree?
The City encourages street trees in front of
residences. (Municipal Code 12.24.010) Theproperty owner is responsible fbr the maintenance of the street tree but the City will
repair the sidewalk when the concrete has been
damaged by a street tree, as f'unding is available.and tirned with the area rotation program.
Cloncrete damaged by trees other than street trees is the responsibility of the property owner.Maintenance, trimrning and replacement of street trees and shrubs is govemed by Chapter
12.24.110. 12.24.120 and 12.24.150 of the
MunicipalCode.
What measures should be taken to minimize
concrete displacement by tree roots?Certain species of trees rnay raise concrete if preventative maintenance is not performed. Toreduce the chance of future concrete displacement, trees can be root-pruned. Care
must be taken when root pruning to avoid
damaging underground utilities or destabilizingor harming the tree. This work must be corrpletedby a licensed arborist. Also, deep- watering the tree, that is, applying a slow trickle of waterover a 24-hour period, encourages deeper root growth which reduces the chance of sidewalkdamage.
lf a problem is reported to the City, how long
does it take for a repair?
When a report is made to the City, it is entered
in to the work order program. Subject to the
availability of resources and personnel, the City
will attenrpt to review the site within a week of
entry of the work order. If a ternporary repair,such as grinding or ramping the area can bernade, the City will generally attempt to cornplete that work within two weeks. Severe darnagecaused by a street tree, which cannot be repaired adequately, will be reconstructed as soon asresources and available personnel allow.

Subject: Greg. Good morning. I have not been able to raise the money to fix the sidewalk in front of 878 Islay. You should probably start formal procedures . I think the city assigns the work to a contractor and the cost is put on my property tax bill.

Areas of less severe damage are completed as the
next priority, working around the City in a
systematic fashion in advance of the pavingprogram. That can mean the sidewalk will not be replaced for several years. Damage other thanthat caused by street trees needs to be completed by the property owner.
Related to sidewalk repair is clearance and
visibility. When is maintenance required?
o Visibility - When parkway strip shrubbery
interferes with the ability of a driver to see
pedestrians or approaching traffic, either
from a driveway or an intersection, trimming
of shrubs must be completed by the property
owner. Shrubs must be trimmed to a
maximum height of 36", for a minimum
distance of 30' from an intersection'(Municipal Code 10.60 and 17.16.020) r Walkway and Gutter Clearance - Trimming
of ground cover or shrubs is required when
the plants extend onto or over the sidewalk,
gutter, or street.
. Parkway Strip Condition - All tree stumps,
large rocks, trash and holes must be removed
by the property owner. The parkway strip
must be level and holes must be filled and
leveled with dirt or other material.
When is a permit required for landscape
maintenance work?
If the sidewalk or the street must be closed for
the work, a permit is required from Public
Works. Call (805)781-7015 for additional
information. lf a tree is to be removed, a treeremoval permit must be obtained. Applications for tree removal are available on the City's website on the Public Works page www.slocity.org or call781-7220 for additional information.

The Cify receives many requests from citizens to
make repairs to sidewalks. This brochureprovides general information to the public on thissubject.
What is the sidewalk, parkway, and curb and
gutter?
The sidewalk, parkway strip, and curb & gutter
are typically made of concrete and located next
to the street on the front and/or side portion of
your property. The curb and gutter are located at
the edge of the street pavement. The sidewalk iseither separated from the curb by a parkwaystrip, or is located adjacent to the curb.Parkways are sometimes planted or filled in with brick or other materials.Who is responsible for maintenance? The property owner is responsible for properlymaintaining this area (see San Luis ObispoMunicipal Code Section 12.16.020 and Streets and Highway Code Division 7, Part 3, Chapter22). This responsibility includes maintenance of damaged or displaced concrete and abatement of
weeds or debris. While the City may be liable for
injuries to pedestrians that are determined to
have resulted from a dangerous condition of a
public sidewalk, property owners should be
aware that they may also be found liable if it is
determined that their negligence caused someone
to be harmed.
When should property owners consider doing
sidewalk replacement?
Replacement of the sidewalk, curb and gutter
concrete should be considered when one or more
of the following exists:r When there is a vertical difference in height behveen sections of the sidewalk or concrete
parkway strip of 3/4" or more. . Ifthe concrete has broken apart. r ln any instance where the owner has reason
to know that the condition presents a danger
to users, or the owner has observed someonetrip because of damage to the surface.
In addition to damaged sections of sidewalk, curb
and gutter replacement is typically required whensidewalks and driveways are replaced, unless thesidewalk is separated from the curb by a parkway. Patching should be completed when
horizontal openings greater than l/2" exist.What are the options available for completing the work?The City recommends construction of curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks in City streets beperformed by a properly licensed and insuredcontractor. A permit is required for concrete repair. Call (805)781-7015 for permit requirements.Are there inspections and standards for
concrete repair work?Yes, all work and materials must be in conformance with the City of San Luis Obispo
Engineering Standards for Public Works
Construction.Before placing any concrete, you must have any tree root removal approved, and the saw cut,
forms, and base inspected. After approval, a
City-approved concrete mix must be used. Thesurface finish must be a light broom finish with score marks. After the work is completed, you
must call for a final inspection.
A permit is required for all concrete work in thepublic right-of-way. Engineering Standards for construction are available on the City's web site
on the Public Works page www.slocity.org. For
information on obtaining a permit call (805)781-
7015.Is the property owner responsible for repairs
if the concrete damage is caused by a tree?
The City encourages street trees in front of
residences. (Municipal Code 12.24.010) The
property owner is responsible for the
maintenance of the street tree but the City willrepair the sidewalk when the concrete has been damaged by a street tree, as funding is available,and timed with the atea rotation program.
Concrete damaged by trees other than street trees is the responsibility of the property owner.
Maintenance, trimming and replacement of street
trees and shrubs is govemed by Chapter
12.24.110, 12.24.120 and 12.24.150 of the
MunicipalCode.
What measures should be taken to minimize
concrete displacement by tree roots?Certain species of trees may raise concrete if preventative maintenance is not performed. Toreduce the chance of future concrete displacement, trees can be root-pruned. Caremust be taken when root pruning to avoiddamaging underground utilities or destabilizing or harming the tree. This work must be completedby a licensed arborist. Also, deep- watering the tree, that is, applying a slow trickle of waterover a Z4-hour period, encourages deeper root growth which reduces the chance of sidewalkdamage.
If a problem is reported to the City, how long
does it take for a repair?
When a report is made to the City, it is entered
in to the work order program. Subject to the
availability of resources and personnel, the City will attempt to review the site within a week of entry of the work order. If a temporary repair,
such as grinding or ramping the area can bemade, the City will generally attempt to complete that work within fwo weeks. Severe damagecaused by a street tree, which cannot be repaired adequately, will be reconstructed as soon asresources and available personnel allow.

Subject: Notice to Correct Sidewalk & Driveway Apron
APN:001-105-007
Dear Property Owner,
The sidewalk and driveway apron adjacent to your property at 859 Mission St. in the City of San Luis Obispo must be repaired. This is the section of sidewalk at 859 Mission St., and the neighboring driveway apron at 859 Mission St. is considered a dangerous condition that must be mitigated. The condition of the concrete has deteriorated so severely that a temporary repair effort by Public Works staff would fail in a very short time and make the sidewalk more of a hazard. This sidewalk was brought to our attention by a citizen complaint.
The City of San Luis Obispo's Municipal Code identifies the curb, gutter, and sidewalk adjacent to your property as being the maintenance responsibility of the property owner, in this case, Eric Michaels
72.16.020 Property owner's responsibility - City Municipal Code The mointendnce, repoir, and collection of the cost of repair sholl be governed by the procedure set forth in Division 7, Port 3, Chopter 22 of the Streets ond Highwoys Code of the stote. (Prior code 5 7330.1)

Dear Property Owner,
The sidewalk and driveway apron adjacent to your property at 867 Mission St. in the City of San Luis Obispo must be repaired. This is the section of sidewalk at 867 Mission St., and the neighboring driveway apron at867 Mission St. is considered a dangerous condition that must be mitigated. The condition of the concrete has deteriorated so severely that a temporary repair effort by Public Works staff would fail in a very short time and make the sidewalk more of a hazard. This sidewalk was brought to our attention by a citizen complaint.

Kalvin and Cynthia Kelley,
I am responding to confirm receipt of your email and answer your questions regarding the Notice of Correction.
The Notice of Correction letter that was sent to you on 2/10/2025, is a second notice to make sidewalk repairs adjacent to your property. Public Works Department staff sent you the first Informal Notice to Correct on 10/17/2023, with the request to complete the necessary work within 120 days to the satisfaction of the City. I understand you met with Mr. Anderson who was filling in as Supervisor in an interim basis, and I will be your point of contact moving forward. After a review of the file and inspection of the property, staff has noted the conditions have not been corrected.
I am providing Q&A as follows:
1. We are requesting information on who we can meet with from the city to discuss opposing perspectives.
1. I would be happy to meet with you to discuss the repairs being required.
2. Is there a dispute coordinator? What are the formal channels that a resident has available?
1. Greg Cruce is the Deputy Director of Maintenance Operations. He and I can schedule a meeting with you to coordinate any dispute. We would like the opportunity to discuss available options residents have.
3. Does the city manager address such issues?
1. The City Manager appoints Department Heads who staff report to. The City Manager does not have daily direct involvement with issues like this but is aware of policy. My recommendation would be to meet with Public Works staff (myself and Greg Cruce) and elevate any concerns after this meeting to the Public Works Director, Matt Horn.
4. Please let us know in writing what is available to residents.
1. Meeting with myself as the Maintenance Superintendent and the Public Works Deputy Director is a great option to work towards a resolution.
We are available to meet with you on the following dates and times. If these times are inconvenient, please give us some alternative options.
1. Tuesday 3/18/25 at 10:00am
2. Wednesday 3/19/25 at 3:00pm
For your review, I have also included a copy of the City Council Agenda packet from 2013 when the City Council adopted the current sidewalk program.
Thank you,
Nehemiah Stephenson

Dear Mr. Stephenson,
We are writing in response to the letter we received from you dated February 10, 2025. The letter states that our sidewalk and driveway apron are in a “dangerous condition” and the City’s Streets Maintenance Program has made temporary repairs. Our formal reply is that we do not agree with either of these statements. Our sidewalk is not in a dangerous condition. It does not “endanger persons or property” nor does it “interfere with public convenience.” We stated this in our written response to a similar letter from Aaron Anderson, Acting Streets Maintenance Supervisor, dated October 17, 2023. The 2023 letter had two photos attached.
One photo showed the front of our house with the focus on the road condition rather than our sidewalk. The other photo’s focus was on our neighbor’s driveway apron, rather than on ours. We met with Mr. Anderson in person at our location in November, 2023 for him to point out any “dangerous conditions” within our property lines, but he was unable to identify any. We considered the matter closed so we were surprised to receive another letter basically stating the same facts as the first letter. Your letter also stated the city has made temporary repairs on our sidewalk, which is not accurate. No work has been done by the city on our sidewalk section.
We are requesting information on who we can meet with from the city to discuss opposing perspectives. Is there a dispute coordinator? What are the formal channels that a resident has available? Does the city manager address such issues? Please let us know in writing what is available to residents.
Can you also please confirm receipt of this letter?
Thank you,
Kalvin and Cynthia Kelley
