Analysis Background. Ordinarily a single family residence and a temporary corporation yard require only ministerial review. In this case, a Site Approval(discretionary review) is required for both items because they are located in an area of significant sand and gravel deposits (Development Title Section 9-1525) and designated Resource Conservation on the 2010 General Plan map (Development Title Section 9-605.6[j] and Open Space Implementation Measure 2.1b], GP Vol. I, P. VI-7). These items have been referred to the Planning Commission because the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors previously denied residences at this and adjacent sites. PA-0200306 Site Approval for four residences • On September 12, 2002, the Community Development Department approved Site Approval Application PA-0200306 of Roger Towers to construct four single family residences on the two project parcels and one adjacent parcel. • On September 23, 2002, in two separate appeals, Jose L. Alva and RMC Pacific Materials, Inc., appealed the Community Development Department's approval to the Planning Commission. • On January 9, 2003, the Planning Commission upheld both appeals, thus denying Site Approval application PA-0200306. The Planning Commission was unable to make finding No. 5 regarding compatibility with adjoining land uses and expressed concerns regarding water pollution, trucks on Koster Road, noise, dust, and vibrations. • On March 25, 2003, the Board of Supervisors denied an appeal by Roger Towers of the Planning Commission's action, thus denying the Site Approval application for the four residences. No application may be accepted if a similar application has been finally denied during the immediately preceding one year period (Development Title Section 9-220.14). Because it has been more than one year since the Board's action, the applicant may apply again for a residence. PA-0600664 Text Amendment to add a use e: Quar /Construction Operations Support) • On March 271'.1 2007 the Planning Commission denied Development Title Text Amendment application PA-0600664. The Text Amendment application would have created a new use type "Quarry/Construction Operations Support"to be conditionally permitted in the AG zones. • On July 22, 2008, the Board of Supervisors denied an appeal by Roger Towers of the Planning Commission's action, thus denying the Text Amendment Application. In the Board Letter prepared for the appeal, the Community Development Department stated: The Community Development Department has determined that Mr. Towers may apply for a Site Approval application for the uses proposed in his Text Amendment application. Those uses include truck parking, equipment storage, maintenance/repair facilities, and administrative office space associated with those uses. Site Approval applications are subject to environmental review under CEQA. The Site Approval, if approved, would include conditions of approval to ensure the uses are temporary, related to the surrounding quarry operations, and will be discontinued when the surrounding quarries are reclaimed.
