Existing Conditions

The East Ranch Community Park site consists of an approximately 13-acre area that will eventually become a fully developed community park. The construction site and surrounding area were previously disturbed during grading and leveling activities. The land is currently partially developed as a park with a fenced dog park, a gravel parking lot, and welded steel fencing bordering the parking lot. SLO County has zoned the land as, among other things, Recreation.

The Project site consists of an approximately 0.5-acre area situated next to the developed dog park and between the dog park and the end of Rodeo Grounds Road. It includes the restroom building pad, the utility trenches, a sidewalk from the parking lot and wrapping around the restroom building, and additional room for maneuvering heavy machinery and temporary stockpiles of excavated dirt and other construction materials. Please see the additional attached documents Exhibit B (Construction Project Description), Exhibit C (Construction Mitigation Measures), Exhibit D (Construction Drawings), and Exhibit G (Environmental Monitoring Plan). The environmental monitoring schedule will be driven by the construction schedule.
