TA-93-3: HOMESITE PARCELS IT IS RECOMMENDED: That the Board of Supervisors: 1. Approve the Negative Declaration; and 2. Approve Development Title Text Amendment No.TA-93-3 based on the"Bases for Recommenda- tion" contained in the staff report. BACKGROUND: At the Board's direction, the Planning Commission has recommended revisions to the provisions in the Development Title concerning the creation of homesite parcels in commercial agricultural areas. Under the existing regulations, homesite parcels may be created in the A-G zone provided General Plan density is not exceeded. The current provisions provide the opportunity for numerous homesite parcels to be created from large acreage. At the same time, they preclude the creation of homesite parcels from parcels which are less than 40 acres in size. The Text Amendment addresses these and other issues by proposing a number of substantive changes. Briefly, the Text Amendment would: 1. Permit the creation of not more than four homesite parcels from an existing parcel in the A-G zone, provided General Plan density (one dwelling unit per 20 acres) is not exceeded. 2. Discourage speculation by requiring the landowner to: own the land for five years before being allowed to create a homesite parcel; hold the homesite parcel for an additional five years after its creation before selling it; obtain a building permit for a single family dwelling for each approved homesite parcel at the time the parcel map for the homesite parcel is recorded. 3. Allow the creation of two-to-five acre homesite parcels from parcels less than 40 acres in size (or from parcels of any size in the A-G zone) for financing purposes only, with the following restrictions: the homesite parcel cannot be sold separately from the remainder of the farm (except in the instance of a foreclosure action brought by an institutional lender, in which case both the homesite parcel and the remainder parcel can be sold separately); the homesite parcel and the remainder parcel must be merged back together by the owner once the loan on the homesite parcel is repaid.
