NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Morro Bay as follows:
Section 1: Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council makes
the following findings:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, no further
environmental review is required pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162, because the LUP Map was considered as part of the
GP/LCP through the General Plan /LCP Update Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2017111026). That document provides a
programmatic review of the potential impacts associated with
implementation of the overall General Plan/LCP. The EIR is comprised of
a Draft EIR (Draft EIR) and Final EIR (Final EIR). The Final EIR was
released for public review on October 19, 2020 and certified by the City
Council on May 25, 2021. The proposed Land Use Map change is
consistent with the analysis presented in the EIR and, pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent analysis is required.
Therefore, there are no substantial changes in the Project, there are no
substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the
Project is undertaken, and no new information of substantial importance,
which was not known and could not have been known at the time of
certification of the EIR, and no further environmental review is required.
GP/LCP Amendment findings
1. The proposed land use changes are consistent with the intent of the
State Coastal Act; and
2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the intent and policies of
the General Plan/Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan; and
3. The proposed change in the land use designation for the subject
properties will be consistent with the Zoning Map update currently
pending approval.

amendment to the Land Use map included in the General Plan (GP)/Local Coastal
Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP) to change Dog Beach Assessor Parcel

and Preston Lane property APN # 06&183-026 from Moderate Density Residential
