Analysis Background The General Plan designation is Limited Agriculture(A/L), and the zone classification is Limited Agriculture with a ten acre minimum for a new parcel(AL-10). The subject parcel is currently being used for agriculture and contains one residence. The subject parcel is a portion of the Magnolia Farm subdivision recorded in 1914 and contains Lots 30 to 32 of this antiquated subdivision. In 1972 a subdivision was approved to divide Lot 32 into three parcels. However, this subdivision was never recorded. The history page also indicates that Farm Labor Mobile Home permits were granted in 1974 and 1988. These structures are no longer present on the property. Development Title Requirements Proposed Parcels 1 through 6 meet all Development Title requirements pertaining to minimum lot size and road frontage. Proposed Parcel 7 is 9.76 acres in size and therefore requires a Deviation to create a parcel under the 10-acre minimum zone requirement. Deviation applications are ordinarily processed at staff level with notification to surrounding property owners. This Deviation application is being referred to the Planning Commission because it is being processed with a Major Subdivision application. Under Section 9-824.2(b)of the Development Title, an applicant may request approval of a Deviation application to alter area requirements up to ten percent of the required lot area. The applicant is requesting approval of a 9.76-acre parcel in a ten-acre minimum zone(AL-10),which is under ten percent of the required lot area. The Deviation is being requested because the realignment of Campbell Road in 1939 reduced the size of the subject property. The realignment constitutes a special circumstance that does not apply to other property in the area and would cause a denial of privileges if the area regulations were strictly applied in this case. In order to approve a Deviation request,the review authority must make the findings required in Section 9-824.5 of the Development Title. Findings for approval of the Deviation are found on page 5 of this staff report. Irrigation Requirements The Tentative Map shows the location of the irrigation line serving the existing parcel. The Oakdale Irrigation District has submitted recommended Conditions of Approval to ensure that all of the proposed parcels will have access to irrigation water.
