The proposed project site is located on five parcels totaling 6.7 acres in

Woolsey Canyon.

The project seeks to retroactively authorize

approximately 16,200 cubic yards of unpermitted fill that resulted in

approximately 1.75-acre ground disturbance within the project site, as well

as the removal of two oak trees. The disturbed would be utilized for

low-intensity, personal agricultural purposes, including a horse corral and

a small orchard.

The project also includes corrective and restorative activities to address

prior unauthorized grading.

These activities include re-grading

approximately 12,400 cubic yards of unpermitted fill on site (consisting of

6,200 cubic yards of cut, 3,200 cubic yards of fill, and 3,000 cubic yards of

exported), as well as implementation of drainage restoration and

improvements, slope stabilization measures, and a total of 6.95-acre

active and passive habitat restoration and mitigation across both onsite

and offsite parcels. Oak tree impacts will be addressed in accordance

with County requirements through replacement planting and monitoring or

mitigation fee payment. Collectively, these components are intended to

restore natural landforms, improve site hydrology, and enhance biological

resources within the project area.
