Parking Requirements Section 9-1015.3 of the Development Title requires nine parking spaces per acre for uses under the Recreation — Parks use type. The proposed facility will utilize almost the entire 18.3-acre parcel and, therefore, would require 165 parking spaces. Given the proposed intensity of the use, the number of expected vehicle trips for each game, and the fact that the applicant has stated that games will not occur simultaneously,the Community Development Department has determined that requiring 165 parking spaces would be excessive. Section 9-1015.9 of the Development Title allows the requirements of the Parking and Loading Chapter to be modified. The Community Development Department is recommending a Condition of Approval (1.e.[21) which requires the applicant to provide the 45 parking spaces shown on the Site Plan for Phase I and to maintain the future parking area for Phase II with chip seal for overflow parking during tournaments held at the site twice a year. Neighborhood Comments The Community Development Department has received eight letters of opposition and one letter in support of the proposed project. Neighborhood concerns include compatibility with the agricultural neighborhood and agricultural practices, including the application of pesticides,traffic congestion and safety, use of the irrigation line maintenance road at the rear of the property, noise, and proper handling of waste effluents. As stated above,the Recreation—Parks use type is a conditionally permitted use in the AL-10 zone, and with the recommended Conditions of Approval, the Community Development Department does not expect the project to impact surrounding agricultural uses. Further,the applicant states that activities on the Phase I field will occur in the evenings,which is not a normal time for pesticide application. The applicant has also planted eucalyptus trees at ten-foot intervals around the perimeter of the project site. When mature,these trees will act as a screen to pesticide drift from neighboring properties. The applicant has also fenced the perimeter of the project site,which will help prevent trespass onto neighboring farmland and will also prevent the use of the irrigation line maintenance road to access the site. Potential noise generated from the facility is not considered significant due to the intermittent nature of the use. The California Department of Transportation and the County Environmental Health Division have jurisdiction over issues concerning traffic and waste effluents,respectively. These departments have responded to this application with recommended Conditions of Approval. The letter in support of the project cites the need for the proposed facility and the benefits the facility can have on the surrounding community.
