FINDINGS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE PERMIT 1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan; any applicable Master Plan, Special Purpose Plan, Specific Plan, and Planned Development zone; and any other applicable plan adopted by the County. • This finding can be made because an agricultural processing facility may be conditionally permitted in the AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum) zone with an approved Administrative Use Permit application. The proposed project is also consistent with the goals, policies,standards and maps of the General Plan related to the proposed A/G General Plan designation, as the site is located outside of a planned area for urban development and the proposed agricultural processing facility is considered a compatible agricultural support use. There are no applicable Master Plans, Specific Plans, and/or Special Purpose Plans in the project vicinity. 2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and proposed roadways. • This finding can be made because adequate utilities, access roads, sanitation, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been provided and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and proposed streets and highways. The project will be served by an on-site well for water, septic system for wastewater disposal, and stormwater pond for storm drainage. The well and septic system improvements will be subject to the rules and regulations of the Environmental Health Department and the stormwater pond will be subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of Public Works. Additionally, the entrance to the proposed project access from East Pine Street will require an encroachment permit from the Department of Public works, ensuring that access to the site will meet all County requirements. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development. • This finding can be made because the parcel is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the proposed facility including all yards, parking areas, and other requirements of the Development Title. The Site Plan depicts sufficient area for parking and circulation in compliance with Standards of the Development Title. Additionally, the proposed site has a process wastewater discharge area approved under R5-2021-0063 that the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board has determined is sufficient to serve the proposed site. 4. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with and will not adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood. • This finding can be made because an Initial Study prepared for the project found that no significant impacts as a result of the project are anticipated in regards to the location, size, design, and operating characteristics. The proposed agricultural processing facility is surrounded primarily by agriculturally zoned parcels with scattered residences and is also located directly northeast of an existing similar processing facility. The surrounding area also includes industrially zoned parcels to the west. The proposed agricultural processing facility provides a support service to the surrounding agricultural areas and is compatible with the area. Additionally, with the proposed Conditions of Approval and mitigation measures contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the proposed agricultural processing facility will not adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood. 5. The proposed use will not create any nuisances arising from the emission of odor, dust, gas, noise, vibration, smoke, heat or glare at a level exceeding ambient conditions.
