CSA 10 & CSA 12 Maps

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”

Sphere of service line or Urban Service Line (USL) – the Planning Dept means just what it chooses to mean – neither more or less. When it suits the Planning Dept, the border of a CSA is a USL, and when it doesn’t suit the Planning Dept, it isn’t.

Here are several versions of CSA-10, CSA-12, and Avila Beach Service Areas Maps on the different SLO County websites. Sometimes the border is marked as a Sphere of Service line, or sometimes just as a Service Area, or sometimes it is marked as an Urban Service Line (USL).

CSA-10 Boundary Map from SLO County Water - this shows the boundary as unlabeled

CSA-10 Service Area Map from SLO LAFCO - this shows as a Service Area and a Sphere of Influence

CSA-10 Service Area Map from Water System Master Plan 2003 - this one shows the boundary as a USL

CSA-10 Service Area Map from Water System Master Plan 2003 HIGHLIGHTED - this is the same as above only highlighted

CSA-10 Map from the Estero Area Plan – this one shows the boundary as a USL

CSA-12 Service Area Map from SLO LAFCO - this shows as a Service Area and a Sphere of Influence

There is no map of CSA-12 in the San Luis Bay Area Plan.

 Avila Beach CSD from SLO LAFCO - shows Service Area and Sphere of Influence – but not USL

There is no map of Avila Beach in the San Luis Bay Area Plan that shows any USL or Service Area.

There is this one page from the Avila Beach Specific Plan that references the urban services line:

Avila Beach Urban Services Line - but this doesn’t correspond to any LAFCO map as it includes all of Avila Beach CSD, and part of CSA-12.

Avila Beach Urban Reserve Line Land Use Categories - this matches the Avila Beach Specific Plan page 148 language, but doesn’t appear to be part of the LCP. Also shows the Coastal Zone.
