Item No. 3 PC: 7-19-90 MS-90-87 Page 6 implementing zone, AG-40, for owner-operator and family member homesites. Based on evidence submitted, the applicant does comply with the requirements of the zone, and Finding No. 1 can be made. 3 . A condition in the form of a deed restriction should be required which would require merger of the parcels upon failure of the owner or family farmer to occupy. ° Merging the parcels after residences are built would be in conflict with the Planning Title, which only allows a single residence on a parcel (farm labor and second-unit dwellings are exceptions) . Once the parcel map is recorded, there is no provision to prevent the owner from selling the parcels. The San Joaquin Farm Bureau Federation offered the following comments in its letter of June 14, 1990: "The Farm Bureau is cognizant of the abuse taking place under the current Homesite Lot Split provisions. After contacting the applicant, we want to encourage the Planning Staff to scrutinize this application. The applicant should demonstrate that this is legitimate and not an abuse promoted by a realtor. For the facts to come out, it would be best to have a hearing before the Planning Commission. " The Planning staff has carefully reviewed the proposed Minor Subdivision. The applicant has not created any previous homesites under Section 9-4010. 2 . Without substantial evidence to the contrary, staff concludes that this application is a legitimate request to create homesites for the owner-operator and two family members. Flood Hazard• The project site is located in the 100-year flood zone, A-25. All new construction and substantial improvements shall meet the requirements of Section 9-10325, "Standards For Flood Hazard Reduction. " Specifically, the proposed residences are required to have the lowest floor, including the basement, elevated to at least one foot above the 100-year flood elevation. Traffic/Circulation:
