Analysis Background On June 13, 2000, the Board of Supervisors denied a project comprised of three applications on the 40-acre . parcel. The applications were a General Plan Amendment (GP-99-11) to amend the General Plan designation from A/G (General Agriculture) to UT (Industrial-Truck Terminal), a Zone Reclassification (ZR- 00-4) to change the zone from AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum) to I-T (Industrial-Truck Terminal), and a Use Permit for a truck terminal for a maximum of 90 trucks. The 100-acre parcel has historically been farmed in almonds. Group Care-Farm Related Development Title Section 9-115.115(d) defines the Group Care-Farm Related use type as a group care facility on a farm, ranch, or camp setting wherein a bona fide commercial agricultural enterprise, animal husbandry, or farm-related vocational educational program, along with skills training and outdoor-oriented personal fitness training, are substantial elements of the program provided, and where the density for the facility is three (3) full time residents for each five (5) acres. To remain within the permitted density range, it is recommended that a maximum of 84 beds be permitted. The main emphasis for a Group Care-Farm Related facility is to incorporate agricultural production into the facility's daily operations. In this case, the rehabilitation process includes providing job training and job placement in the agricultural community. Specifically, the skills learned through the program include planting, pruning, fertilizing, harvesting, irrigation techniques, and equipment operation and maintenance. Approximately 10 acres of the 40-acre parcel will be developed. Of the remainder, 10 acres will be used for vegetable gardening, and 20 acres will be planted in almond and/or apple orchards. The adjacent 100-acre parcel will be used strictly for farming (almonds). Every resident is expected to participate in the job training and will receive a minimum of 100 hours of training. Phasing The applicant is proposing to phase the project over a 5-year period. The proposed phases are as follows: Phase I (to begin immediately) • Building 1: 7,256 square foot administration building for offices, reception area, conference rooms, kitchen, media room, meeting and eating hall, storage, and restrooms. • Building 4: 9,256 square foot group care facility providing 50 beds. • Building 7: 9,000 square foot agricultural/vocational training building. • Building 8: 400 square foot well/maintenance building. Phase It (permits to be issued within 5 years from the date of approval) • Building 2: 8,500 square foot clinic for healthcare services. • Building 3: 9,500 square foot social services building that will provide services such as filing paperwork (i.e. taxes, health insurance, dental insurance, etc.), and job placement.
