Long Range Planning
About Us
The City prepares and
maintains long-range plans. These plans forecast future conditions and
needs, identify community concerns, and provide strategies to meet
adopted goals. They also establish policies and standards for day-to-day
decision making. These plans guide the City's physical development and
how the City plays its roles within the region, state, and nation. The
Long-Range Planning Division helps prepare, maintain, and implement
long-range plans. It also oversees the City's Community Development
Block Grant Program (CDBG) and staffs the City's Cultural Heritage
Committee.
The General Plan,
because of its comprehensive scope and status under State law, is the
City's primary long-range plan. the City also adopts and maintains other
long-range plans for particular land areas or topics, such as specific
plans and physical design plans. These plans, like the General Plan,
guide decision-making.
We are updating
the City's Housing Element!

Archaeological Resource Preservation Program Guidelines Update
The City of San Luis
Obispo is updating its Archaeological Resource Preservation Program
Guidelines, originally adopted in 1995. The original guidelines were
adopted after extensive collaboration among archaeologists, developers,
property owners, public agencies (e.g. Caltrans) and the Cultural
Heritage Committee (CHC). City efforts to clarify and strengthen
archaeological preservation standards began in 1989, when the CHC
approved interim guidelines. The update closely follows the intent of
the original guidelines and incorporates new guidelines to address
changes in State law requiring Native American consultation on certain
planning actions (SB 18). As with the current guidelines, the updated
guidelines clarify how archaeological resources are identified,
evaluated and preserved, pursuant to State law. They will be used by
applicants, staff, and decision-makers to help determine whether a
project complies with City standards and with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). To review the Draft Archaeological
Guidelines,

The City is soliciting
public comments on the Draft document for 30 days, until Tuesday, May
27th. As part of the public review process, the CHC is holding at least
two public meetings on the Draft document: Monday, April 28th when the
draft will be introduced to the Committee, and on Tuesday, May 27th for
possible final recommendation to the City Council. CHC meeting are held
at San Luis Obispo City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, in the
Council Hearing Room (Room 9). The meetings start at 5:30 p.m., and the
agendas are posted on the City’s website at
www.slocity.org, by
the Saturday before the meeting. For more information on the process,

CHC agenda report.
