    LOS OSOS HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT APPENDICES Appendix A. Covered Activities Appendix B. Affected Environment Appendix C. Regulatory Settings Appendix D. Avoidance and Minimization Measures and Typical Best Management Practices Appendix E. References Appendix A. Covered Activities This appendix provides detailed information regarding covered activities in the LOHCP Plan Area, which is a slightly larger than the LOHCP Permit Area as it includes lands in Montaña de Oro and Morro Bay State Parks that will not receive take authorization under any incidental take permit (ITP) issued by the Service for this plan. 1.1 Private Development Private development activities permitted by the County through both ministerial and discretionary permit processes are proposed covered activities in the LOHCP (County 2019). Ministerial projects are those that require only conformance with a fixed standard or objective measurement and require little or no personal judgment by public officials as to the wisdom or manner of carrying out the project. Discretionary projects are those that involve a level of judgment and discretion by decision makers in taking action to approve, approve with conditions, or deny a project. The general types of private development activities proposed for coverage under the LOHCP include: . New Construction. New commercial and residential construction, including associated onsite improvements (e.g., driveways, utilities, landscaping, storm water control) that are typical components of a development project. For parcels outside of the Urban Services Line (USL)1, as well as 12 unprotected (i.e., not protected by conservation easements or other legal mechanisms) privately owned parcels in the USL zoned for Recreation and Open Space, development must be contained in maximum disturbance envelopes.

    FROOM RANCH PROJECT SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES INVENTORY Prepared for: John Madonna Construction, Inc. P.O. Box 5310 San Luis Obispo, California 93403 Prepared by: KMA Kevin Merk Associates, LLC P.O. Box 318 San Luis Obispo, California 93406 January 2016 KMA Froom Ranch Project Biological Resources Inventory EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kevin Merk Associates, LLC (KMA) conducted a biological resources inventory to support development planning efforts on the Froom Ranch located in San Luis Obispo County, California. The purpose of the study was to characterize the existing conditions on the property and evaluate the potential for special status biological resources to be present within the study area. A background literature review, floristic inventory, tree inventory and special status species evaluation was conducted. The study took place over the course of the winter, spring, summer and fall of 2015 to delineate and characterize plant communities onsite, conduct rare plant surveys, and identify any habitat that could potentially support special status species or otherwise be of concern to the United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), NOAA Fisheries, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and the City of San Luis Obispo. As stated above, prior to field work, a background literature review including past biological studies conducted in the region and environmental documents from projects onsite and in the immediate area was conducted. The California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) maintained by the CDFW was queried to compile a list of special status resources known to occur in the area that could potentially be present onsite.
