Overview

LAFCO has established this webpage to ensure that relevant information and documents are readily available to the public regarding the Dana Reserve Specific Plan (DRSP). 

The County of San Luis Obispo is the Lead Agency for environmental review and the primary land use authority on the DRSP.  As the land use authority, the County is responsible for essential project entitlements, including the General Plan amendment(s), Specific Plan, Conditional Use Permit, EIR, Developer Agreement, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map.  

It is estimated that the County will be begin consideration of the project at their Planning Commission in summer 2023. The project will also require approval by the Board of Supervisors after Planning Commission, the timing of which is not currently known.  

LAFCO’s purview on this project relates to the proposed annexation into Nipomo Community Services District (NCSD) for water and wastewater service.  If the project is approved by the County, LAFCO will subsequently consider whether to approve the annexation.
