TA-93-6 OF GEORGE BROWN (COUNTYWIDE) IT IS RECOMMENDED: That the Board of Supervisors: 1. Adopt the Negative Declaration; and, 2. Adopt Text Amendment Application No. TA-93-6, BACKGROUND: By way of background, staff has received approximately one-half dozen inquires about constructing ponds, generally as an amenity to a residence, in agricultural areas of the County. The stated purposes for these ponds would be aesthetics, recreation, raising fish, and water supply for fire suppression and irrigation. Construction of a pond is permitted under the current code provision. However, the size of the ponds and the amount of material being excavated would in most cases necessitate removing soils material from the site. George Brown, one of the people who inquired to staff about the construction of a pond, filed Text Amendment TA-93-6. He has worked with staff and the Ordinance Subcommittee to draft the Text Amendment in its current form. The Text Amendment would: • modify Table 9-605.3 of the Development Title to add pond excavations as an accessory use to be permitted in the AG zone with a Pond Excavation Permit; add Chapter 9-852 titled Pond Excavation Permits to Division 8 Development Application Regulations of the Development Title; • add Section 9-1405.5(g) to the Development Title which would permit removal of soil from the site when done in accordance with a Pond Excavation Permit; and, add Chapter 9-1420 titled Pond Excavation Standards to Division 14 Grading and Excavation provisions of the Development Title.
