On-site services will be provided, which will include a well for potable water, a package treatment plant for sanitary sewage disposal, and a storm water retention basin (to be used for a baseball and soccer field in the dry months) for storm water. Prior to the applicant's submittal of the revised application, a meeting was held with the applicant to discuss the necessary items to be included in the revised application materials. When the Board of Supervisors denied the original application (UP-97-15), they expressed concern regarding the proposed packaged sewer plant system, and a lack of a security plan. Based on the Board's action, the Community Development Department suggested that completed plans regarding these issues be included with the revised application materials. The applicant has provided the Community Development Department with the recommended revisions to the project application. These revisions address the issues of traffic, security, and wastewater. A traffic study was prepared at the request of the Department of Public Works for the previous Use Permit (UP-97-15), to identify any needed mitigation measures at the Harney Lane/State Route 88 intersection, the Harney Lane/Jack Tone Road intersection, and the access location. The traffic study concluded that project related traffic is not expected to create any significant traffic impacts. The applicant has prepared a comprehensive 24-hour Security Plan. The plan identifies security measures regarding staffing, visitors, lighting, disciplinary processes, safety policies, on-site security training, emergency response, and criminal activity. The facility will employ the use of resident and personnel screening; the community will be gated; all residents will have assigned parking spaces, the manager and assistant manager will both reside on-site to discourage any inappropriate behavior; each building will be equipped with fire alarms; surveillance cameras will be installed; and if needed additional security measures such as security personnel patrolling the grounds or the use of a private security company to do unannounced visits to the site will be employed. Transportation will be available, if needed, to and from work, and services such as dining, groceries, postal, Western Union, and medical will be available at the facility. The applicant has proposed the use of an on-site domestic water and wastewater system to serve the needs of the proposed labor camp. The water system will consist of the following: an on-site well; an on-site ground storage tank; domestic booster pumps through a hydropneumatic tank to the distribution system; and a fire booster pumps for hydrant flow and building sprinkler systems. The system will be reviewed by the Environmental Health Division and the Fire District/Marshall to ensure that the system is adequate for the proposed project. The project is scheduled to be heard before the Planning Commission at the meeting of November 29, 2001. Before the Community Development Department can finalize a recommendation to the Planning Commission, the security plan must be approved by the County Sheriff and the wastewater system must be approved by the Environmental Health Division. If said plans are approved, the Community Development Department will be recommending that it be approved, subject to the following Conditions of Approval.
