To : Planning Commission From: Thomas M. Gau Sub : MS-93-108 (Costamagna) Date: 1-20-94 Page: - 3 - PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a Minor Subdivision of 54 acres to create a 5-acre homesite and a 49-acre parcel. The General Plan designation for this site is A/G (General Agriculture), and the zone is AG-40. This site is not under Williamson Act Contract. BACKGROUND: On November 11, 1984, the Planning Commission approved Minor Subdivision No. MS-85-17 to create an owner-operator homesite for Ernie Costamagna (APN 250-210-01). On November 7, 1985, the Planning Commission approved Minor Subdivision No. MS-86-8 to create an owner-operator homesite (APN 253-320-16) for Ernie Costamagna and John Pereira. That application was a request for two owner- operator homesites; however, only one homesite was approved. ISSUE: As noted in Findings No. 1 and 2, this application is inconsistent with this General Plan objective due to the creation of multiple homesites and the creation of previous homesite parcels, resulting in the fragmentation of agricultural lands. Agricultural Policy No. 7 states that there shall be no further fragmentation of land designated for agricultural use with three exceptions. One exception under which this and other homesite subdivisions have been filed is: 'Parcels for homesites may be created, provided that the General Plan density is not exceeded.' The proposed subdivision, while consistent with Agricultural Policy No. 7, is not consistent with Objective No. 1 due to the fragmentation of agricultural land. In order to be approved, the project must be consistent with all pertinent General Plan Objectives and Policies. TG/CM/blm Attachments
