What makes the “San Miguel Ranch” development project Urban Sprawl?
The County of San Luis Obispo defines urban sprawl as low-density, automobile-oriented development no longer in the long-term interest of our communities and agricultural areas. Simply stated, the San Miguel Ranch development project site main entry is located approximately 2 miles from San Miguel and separated by the raised elevation of U.S. Highway 101. The site is outside of the San Miguel Community Service Area and is not anticipated or planned for in the County General Plan, the San Miguel Community Design Plan, or any Cal Poly City & Regional Planning Department master plan studies regarding future growth or community design for the town of San Miguel. There is no safe, easy, or logical connection to the project site from the community of San Miguel and will more realistically be accesible by automobile.
