  • City of San Luis Obispo Open Space Vegetation Management Plan
    CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO OPEN SPACE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN A Professional Project presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of City and Regional Planning by Danielle Rose Althaus June 2014 ©2014 Danielle Rose Althaus ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: City of San Luis Obispo Open Space Vegetation Management Plan AUTHOR: Danielle Rose Althaus DATE SUBMITTED: June 2014 COMMITTEE CHAIR: W. David Conn, D. Phil. Professor, City and Regional Planning COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kenneth C. Topping, AICP Lecturer, City and Regional Planning COMMITTEE MEMBER: Robert Hill Natural Resources Manager, City of San Luis Obispo iii ABSTRACT City of San Luis Obispo Open Space Vegetation Management Plan Danielle Rose Althaus This Master’s Professional Project is focused on the development of a draft Vegetation Management Plan for the City of San Luis Obispo Open Space properties. The purpose of the plan is to provide a comprehensive document which identifies how the city is addressing wildfire preparedness in city-owned open space properties. Methods used in plan development include a literature review, content analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), a course audit, and consultation with city staff and other stakeholders. Each open space property is identified in the plan, describing its location, vegetation, topography, assets, access points, water supply, evacuation routes, historical fire data, predominant risk exposure, current wildfire preparedness plan, priority ranking, and a proposed implementation plan. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been possible without motivation from Rodger Maggio and Robert Hill. I would like to thank the both of you for your continuous encouragement and support throughout this process.

Description of the Project: Project History In June of 2001, the City of San Luis Obispo (Cit y) adopted a preferred alignment for the Railroad Safety Trail Project. The overall Railroad Safety Trail project spans 1.4 mile s within the City limits and is primarily located adjacent to the Union P acific Railroad (UPRR) ri ght of way. The proposed Class I bicycle trail and multi-use pathway will serv e bicyclists, pedestrians, and other recreational users. The intent of the facility is to promote alternative forms of transportation and provide new recreational opportunities consistent with the goals set forth in the City's Bicycle Transportation Plan. The trail will ultimately provide a safe and direct north/south commuter route between Cal Poly and the San Luis Obispo Amtrak station. The existing California Overcrossing is 58 feet (ft) wide from the barrier separating the sidewalk on the west side to the insideof the barrier on the east sideof the roadway.

  • San Luis Obispo Creek Stormwater Resource Plan
    San Luis Obispo Creek Stormwater Resource Plan Final Draft February 1, 2019 Prepared for the City of San Luis Obispo, Natural Resources Program, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 990 Palm St. San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Prepared by Stillwater Sciences, Inc. 895 Napa Avenue, Suite B‐4 Morro Bay, CA 93442 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report constitutes the San Luis Obispo Creek Watershed Stormwater Resource Plan (henceforth, the “SRP”), whose overarching purpose is to develop strategies to best manage the risks and opportunities presented by stormwater runoff from this coastal, mixed‐land‐use watershed along California’s Central Coast. This Resource Plan follows the guidance of the State Water Board in analyzing the San Luis Obispo Creek watershed as a whole, integrating the current knowledge of the watershed and its receiving waters’ condition to guide recommendations for the multi‐benefit management of stormwater to improve overall watershed health. The San Luis Obispo Creek watershed drains approximately 84 square miles, with the City of San Luis Obispo at its geographic center. The creek and its tributaries are used by south‐central California steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss, listed as “threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act), although only few areas remain with high‐quality spawning and rearing habitat. Resource quality and stream health decline monotonically down the channel network, with the most abrupt decline associated with the urban center of the City of San Luis Obispo. Although a variety of direct channel impacts coincide with this zone, the well‐documented decline in various in‐stream conditions through this area, particularly water quality, is undoubtedly a primary result of urban stormwater runoff.

  • Timing of Folding and Uplift of the Pismo Syncline, San Luis Obispo County, California
    University of Nevada Reno J Timing of Folding and Uplift of the Pismo Syncline, San Luis Obispo County, California A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology by Katheryn Marie Killeen September 1988 1 MINS ' LIBRARY The thesis of Katheryn M. Killeen is approved: awr 4v Dean, Graduate School University of Nevada Reno March 1989 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Funding for this project was provided by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I thank Paul Pace, whose invaluable instruction on survey methods was critical to the success of the study. Thanks go also to Kirk Swanson, as the surveying required for this project could not have been completed without his efforts. Gratitude is expressed to my thesis advisors, Dr. Slemmons, Dr. Schweickert and Dr. James whose guidance kept this project moving forward. I would also like to thank my colleagues, especially Phil Jackson, Barbara Matz, Steve Nitchman and Mike Ellis who provided constructive criticism of the manuscript. The cooperation and help of Geomatrix Consultants Inc., and Earth Sciences Associates, who were also working in the same area on similar projects, are greatly appreciated. Ill Ab str a c t The goal of this project was to use geomorphic features such as stream and marine terraces to measure possible tectonic deformation in a tectonically active area. Marine and stream terrace elevation data were collected during the summer of 1986, along the coast of California near San Luis Obispo. A low rate of deformation between Montana De Oro State Park and Arroyo Grande in San Luis Obispo County is indicated by marine and stream terraces.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The portion of the proposed Bob Jones Pathway – San Luis Obispo to Ontario Road (project) discussed herein is an approximately 4.4-mile (7.1-kilometer) path that would connect the existing path along South Higuera Street from the San Luis Obispo Land Conservancy’s (SLOLC) Octagon Barn, then south and paralleling San Luis Obispo Creek (SLO Creek) to the Ontario Road Staging Area, near State Route 101 and Avila Bay Drive in San Luis Obispo County, California. The purpose and need is for County of San Luis Obispo Parks, with the assistance of FHWA funding, to complete a primarily Class I (off street) pedestrian/bike path for recreational and alternative transportation use that will connect the community of Avila Beach with San Luis Obispo. Portions of the Bob Jones Pathway have previously been completed from Avila Beach to the Ontario Road Staging Area, and this project would reconcile the discontinuity between Avila Beach and San Luis Obispo. Several proposed project alternatives were examined for feasibility and to examine relative impacts to sensitive resources.
