BOB JONES PATHWAY (San Miguel Street to Avila Community
Park) Questions? Contact Jan DiLeo, Senior Park Planner jdileo@co.slo.ca.us
Bob Jones Pathway information last updated September 5, 2008
The Bob Jones Pathway, a Class I bicycle path and pedestrian
corridor, currently extends from the County's Ontario Road
Staging Area to Avila Beach Road where it intersects with
San Miguel Street (in the vicinity of Avila's sewer plant).
The bike path's current terminus provides a marginal crossing
at Avila Beach Drive.
This section of the Bob Jones Pathway
extends the existing bicycle/pedestrian corridor from behind
the Avila Beach sewer plant to First Street and Avila Park.
The proposed bicycle path would be located east of Avila Beach
Drive on Avila Beach Resort Golf Course property. A traffic signal at First Street and Avila Beach Drive would provide a crossing to downtown Avila, Avila Park, and Avila Plaza. The owner
of the golf course, Rob Rossi, has offered the County an easement
on his property for the purpose of constructing this phase
of the project. In exchange, Rob Rossi is requesting right-of-way
along Avila Beach Drive. All project permits have been obtained. At this time construction drawings are being completed. We hope to have the project constructed by summer 2009.

NIPOMO PARK MASTER PLAN Questions about the master plan? Contact Jan Di Leo, Senior Park Planner at jdileo@co.slo.ca.us
Nipomo Park Master Plan information last updated September 10, 2008
The Nipomo Community Park Master Plan, when adopted, will
provide a footprint for future recreational development at
Nipomo Community Park for the next 15 to 20 years.
To determine environmental resources on the project site, the County hired the Morro Group, Inc. to complete a constraints analysis. Please review the following components to the Contraints Analysis.
To obtain community input, County Parks, with the help of
the South County Advisory Council (SCAC), put together a community
survey. In January 2004, the survey was mailed to randomly
selected Nipomo and Oceano residents. In addition, Community Surveys were conducted onsite at Nipomo Community Park.
In addition to a community survey, Public Workshops
were conducted in Nipomo to determine community preferences
and needs. The Public Workshops began on March 3 and 4, 2004.
The first two workshops invited participants to help design
the park as well as identify concerns. On May 5 and 6, 2004,
workshops were held to present the survey results and the
three concept drawings for future park development. To review
the three initial Master Plan concepts, completed in 2004, for Nipomo Park click on
the individual concepts noted below.
DRAFT NEGATIVE DECLARATION
On September 27, 2007, a DRAFT Negative Declaration (ND) was made available for public review by the SLO County Planning & Building Department. The Draft ND identifies potential environmental impacts associated with providing new recreation (such as a community center, sports fields, a skate board park, etc.) in the southeastern portion of Nipomo Community Park.
To review the Draft ND:
a) Body
b) Referrals
c) Comments
d) Figures
f) Appendix
Please note the Draft ND is based on two alternative Nipomo Community Park Master Plan drawings. The difference between the two drawings is discussed in the Draft ND on pages 3 through 5. Also, Firma completed two alternative drawings and a Public Review Draft Master Plan.
In terms of future development of the Mesa Meadows site, the Master Plan proposes consistency with the April 2002 Landscape Plan.
