PC: 10-15-92 MS-92-133 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: This Minor Subdivision application which would normally be processed by staff under Staff Review with Notification procedures, has been placed on the Planning Commission's agenda as a result of seven letters in opposition received from property owners in the vicinity of the project site. The bases for the opposition are discussed in the staff report under'Neighborhood Opposition.' Copies of these letters are included in the staff report as Attachment A. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: General Plan and Zoning: This application is being processed under the provisions of the 1995 General Plan. The site is designated on the Land Use/Circulation Element Map as Agriculture. The project's zone designation of AG-40 (General Agricufture; 40-acre minimum parcel size) is a compatible implementing zone for the Agriculture General Plan designation. Provisions for the creation of owner-operator homesite parcels are contained in Section 9-4010.2{a} of the Planning Title. The site's designation under the 2010 General Plan is A/G (General Agriculture) with a consistent implementing zone of AG-80 (General Agriculture; 80-acre minimum parcel size). Section 9-610.3 of the Development Title contains provisions for the creation of homesite parcels. With the exception of the homesite parcel, this application could not be processed under the provisions of the Development Title due to its inconsistency with the 80-acre minimum parcel size requirement. Prior to the submittal of the application, the owner indicated to staff his desire to divide his property into three 40-acre parcels and to create an owner-operator homesite parcel for himself from one of the 40-acre parcels. Rather than require the owner to submit two applications for a Minor Subdivision, it was determined that one application could be processed, showing both the two 40-acre parcels and the homesite parcel. The 30-acre parcel shown on the tentative parcel map reflects the remaining acreage after the creation of a 10-acre owner-operator homesite parcel from one of the two 40-acre parcels. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Land Use: The project site, containing a residence, a cattle feed lot, accessory agricultural buildings, and grain crops, is surrounded by agricultural uses in all directions, with scattered residential uses in the area The existing residence on the remainder is occupied by a tenant. The owner's mother lives in a residence on a separate parcel to the north of the remainder parcel's structures. Neither the subdivision of the property nor the construction of additional residences on the resultant parcels is expected to result in any significant, adverse conflicts with either the surrounding agricultural or residential uses. -8-
