The Area Plans I.ii Introduction Adopted February 2014 Content last updated: see Section 1.3 of each area plan Introduction to the Area Plans 1.1 Overview This document is Part II of the Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) of the County General Plan (refer to Note: The terms “Land Figure 1-1). It refines the general policies of Framework Use and Circulation for Planning (LUCE Part I) into land use issues and policies Elements (LUCE)” and for the County’s four inland planning areas: Carrizo, North “Land Use Element (LUE)” County, San Luis Obispo, and South County (refer to Figure are used interchangeably 1-2). It has been prepared to envision the future of these throughout this document planning areas. Based on that vision, it serves as a guide and the County Land Use for future development. It is intended to balance the d social, economic, environmental and governmental resources and activities affecting the quality of life within the county in a comprehensive and cohesive manner. This document describes where land use categories are applied in the four planning areas. It also establishes policies and programs for land use, circulation, public facilities, services, and resources that apply 1) “areawide,” (throughout the entire planning area), 2) in rural areas, and 3) in unincorporated urban areas adjacent to cities. Goals, policies, programs, and related background information for the County’s unincorporated urban and village areas are discussed in the Community/Village Plans (LUCE Part III). Framework for Planning (LUCE Part I) contains countywide land use and circulation goals, policies, objectives, and implementing strategies. It should be recognized that the area plans are subject to higher legal authority including but not limited to case law, federal and state statutes and regulations and other countywide elements and ordinances of the County General Plan. 1.2 How to use this Document This document contains goals, policies, and programs that apply in the following locations: 1) “areawide” (throughout the planning area); 2) in rural areas; and 3) within the unincorporated urban areas adjacent to incorporated cities. The “areawide” goals, policies, and programs in each area plan also apply within the urban and village areas in the corresponding planning area. Thus, this document should be used in conjunction with the applicable community/village plan (LUCE Part III). In addition to establishing policy, the area plans describe regional land use, transportation, and resource-related issues and trends in each of the County’s four planning areas. For example, the area plans describe water availability and air quality concerns that affect urban and rural areas alike. This makes each area plan an important reference that should be used in conjunction with the Community/Village Plans (LUCE Part III) within the corresponding planning area. This document should be used in conjunction with Framework for Planning (LUCE Part I) and the Land Use Ordinance (Title 22 of the County Code). Article 9 of the Land Use Ordinance contains specific, mandatory development standards that address special conditions in each planning area and help implement the goals and policies of the area The Area Plans I.1 Introduction Adopted February 2014 Content last updated: see Section 1.3 of each area plan plans. Article 10 of the Land Use Ordinance contains standards that address special conditions in each of the County’s unincorporated urban and village areas.

  • San Luis Obispo County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of San Luis Obispo County San Carpoforo (San Carpojo) San Carpoforo Creek (San Carpojo Creek) consists of more than ten stream miles. It flows southwest, entering the Pacific Ocean at Ragged Point. Staff from DFG surveyed San Carpoforo Creek in 1961 and observed O. mykiss, with highest population density in the lower one mile of the creek. The survey report relays information from local residents and DFG staff including an estimate of “…155 adult steelhead in three holes between the mouth of the stream and the mine” in the late 1950s (DFG 1961a). The creek was deemed, “…a good steelhead nursery and spawning area” (DFG 1961a). In a 1966 letter DFG states, “San Carpojo and Arroyo de la Cruz Creeks are the best steelhead waters in San Luis Obispo County” (DFG 1966a). A 1973 draft report on the effects of potential water developments included estimates of steelhead run size in several San Luis Obispo County creeks. The estimated adult run in San Carpoforo Creek was 500 individuals (Macias 1973). Staff from DFG surveyed San Carpoforo Creek in 1995 and observed “numerous” young of the year, age 1+ and age 2+ steelhead (DFG 1995a). The survey report indicates that the surveyed stream reach usually becomes intermittent by the end of summer. In 1999, USFS staff surveyed San Carpoforo Creek and observed “lots of trout” including fry and adults (USFS 1999a). Staff from NMFS performed systematic surveys of south coast streams in 2002-2003 to determine steelhead presence/absence. The survey report form for San Carpoforo Creek indicates multiple O.
