PC: 10-15-92 MS-92-133 Agricultural Viability; An owner-operator homesite parcel is not intended to be an agriculturally viable parcel but rather is intended to permit the financing or refinancing of a residence for the owner of the property. Parcel 2 contains 10 acres because the subject parcel is under Williamson Act Contract, and the smallest parcel permitted under Contract is 10 acres (see Section 9-2351 f a} of the Planning Trtle). The 30-acre parcel is simply the result of subdividing a 10-acre parcel from a 40-acre parcel, and similar requests have been consistently approved by staff under the provisions of the Planning Title's area exceptions for homesite parcels. Land Use Compatibility: In analyzing the project's potential land use conflicts, staff considered the impacts associated with the three additional residences that may result from the approval of this subdivision. Impacts on traffic, air quality, and service requirements were found to be only incremental, given the relatively small amount of development (three houses and accessory structures) that may take place on a parcel containing 126 acres. HAZARDS/CONSTRAINTS: Flooding: The subject parcel is located in the 100-Year Flood zone and can be expected to be covered by approximately seven feet of water during such a flood. All new construction and substantial improvements to existing structures on the site shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 9-10325 of the Planning Title's Flood Prevention Ordinance. The finished elevation of the lowest floor must be at least one foot above the 100-Year Flood elevation. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Initial Study that was prepared for this project on July 1, 1992, indicated that no significant, adverse environmental impacts would result from this project. On the basis of that review, a Negative Declaration was prepared. In addition, a Certificate of Fee Exemption with a 'De Minimis Impact Finding' has been prepared which states that the project will not have an adverse effect on wildlife resources. -10-
