Item No. 3 PC : 8-18-88 SA-88-59 Page 3 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: On March 23 , 1988 , the applicant submitted Site Approval Application No . SA-88-48 for a farm services headquarters . This application also contained a statement that a future labor camp was envisioned. As staff reviewed the application, it was noted that the northern portion of the property was designated as Low Density Residential on the General Plan. The proposed improve- ments were within the Low Density Residential designation. Since the proposed use was inconsistent with the Residential designa- tion, the application was withdrawn, and a refund was initiated. The current application, SA-88-59, was submitted by the applicant on June 15 , 1988 . The project site is now set back 440 feet from Acampo Road, so it is within the General Plan designation of Agriculture. The applicant has also modified plans for future development to include a homesite for himself rather than a labor camp. Site Approval applications are normally Staff Review With Notice items . However , it was decided to refer this application to the Planning Commission due to the opposition registered by residents of Coopers Corner . POLICY CONSIDERATIONS : General Plan and Zoning: Approximately the northern one-third of the property is designated on the General Plan/Land Use Circulation Element Map as Low Density Residential , while the southern portion is designated as Agriculture . The zoning is GA-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum parcel size) over the entire par- cel . The application was accepted under Section 9-4102 . 1 (d) , which permits agricultural services essential to the use of the land for farming purposes, subject to Site Approval . Since the pro- posed use is located within the area designated as Agriculture, the establishment of a farm services headquarters at this site is consistent with General Plan policy.
