SUBJECT: SITE APPROVAL PRE-APPLICATION NO. PA-0500563 OF KENNETH ROBBERS (APN: 007-020-07) (7675 E. LIBERTY ROAD, GALT) The applicant has submitted the above referenced Site Approval pre-application for an outdoor radio controlled model airplane sports club. The project includes a 45,500 square foot runway, 18,750 square foot pit area, 1,200 square foot canopy cover, 320 square foot storage container, and a 20-space parking area. The property is zoned AG- 40 (General Agriculture, 40 acre minimum) and has a General Plan designation of A/G (General Agriculture.) The project site is located on the northeast corner of East Liberty Road and Dustin Road, north of Lodi. The Community Development Department has reviewed the proposed Site Approval pre-application and offers the following comments: Riparian Habitat The northeastern boundary of the project site is Dry Creek. Riparian habitat exists near Dry Creek. Development Title section 9-1510.5 states that parallel to any natural bank of a waterway, a natural open space for riparian habitat and waterway protection shall be maintained to provide nesting and foraging habitat and the protection of waterway quality. The minimum width of the open space shall be one-hundred (100) feet, measured from the mean high water level of the natural bank or fifty (50) feet back from the existing riparian habitat, whichever is greater. If the project is submitted for a full application, the open space for the existing riparian habitat must be shown on the Tentative Map. The applicant is proposing to place the runway and buildings for the airplane club in the southern portion of the parcel. This should not cause an impact on existing riparian areas.
