PA-0500804 OF WALTER & VIOLET EHLERS (C/O DERRON LEE) (APN: 025-080-02) (ADDRESS: 9301 W. STATE ROUTE 12, LODI) The applicant has submitted the above referenced Use Permit pre-application for a paintball recreational field to include eight 60,000 square foot fields, and one 122,500 square foot field, two 180 square foot storage containers and a seating area. (Use Type: Recreation-Outdoor Sports Clubs) The applicant plans on using portable toilets for use at the project site. A small winery is located on the subject parcel. The project site is located on the north side of State Route 12, 2,150 feet west of Guard Road, west of Lodi The General Plan designation of the site is A/G (General Agriculture) and the zoning designation is AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40 acre minimum). The Community Development Department has the following comments: Williamson Act The proposed project would be located on a parcel with a current Williamson Act Contract. The proposed project would be located on property designated as Prime Farmland on the Farmland 2002 Map. The majority of the site is planted in alfalfa and there is also a small winery located on the east side of the property. Both are compatible uses on property with a Williamson Act contract. The Use Type for a paintball field is Recreation-Outdoor Sports Clubs. Development Title Section 9- 1810.3(6) states that permitted recreational activities are such outdoor recreational activities which can be carried out in conjunction with the continued agricultural usage of the land. The proposed project encompasses approximately 15 acres of land and includes an 80 space parking lot and seating area in addition to the 9 proposed paintball fields. The site would be used 12 months of the year, Wednesday through Sunday. This land would effectively be taken out of active agricultural production, and would therefore not meet the requirement that the recreational activities can be carried out in conjunction with the continued agricultural usage of the land. 1
