Analysis Site Approval Application No. SA-97-46 was conditionally approved by staff on October 6, 1997. This development projectis for agricultural truck parking for two trucks and four trailers. Agricultural truck parking is permitted in the Agricultural zones as an accessory use subject to an approved Site Approval application. On October 13, 1997, Rex Clark filed an appeal of Condition of Approval No. 1.f., which requires that driveway and maneuvering areas be paved and that other areas used for vehicular traffic be chip sealed. Chip seal is created when asphalt is spread over the aggregate base and then gravel, or the "chips," is placed and rolled into the asphalt to create a wearing surface. The applicant is requesting that only gravel be required. Development Title Section 9-605.6(f) establishes special use regulations for agricultural truck parking. These regulations, however, do not address surfacing requirements for traffic circulation and parking areas. Development Title Section 9-1015.5(e) generally provides for the design of parking areas so that all parking spaces, driveways, and maneuvering areas shall be surfaced and permanently maintained with base material of appropriate depth and liquid asphalt, asphalt concrete, or Portland cement concrete to provide a durable, dust-free surface. This section also provides that parking lots for temporary or seasonal uses in Agricultural zones shall be improved with base material of appropriate depth and sealed with liquid asphalt. However, the proposed use is neither temporary nor seasonal. The intent of Condition No. 1.f. is to provide a permanent wearing surface for trucks that is durable and dust free. The use is neither temporary nor seasonal. The applicant acknowledges that there may be dust with gravel when trucks are present. y San Joaquin County SA-97-46/Clark Community Development Page 5
