In the Southern Planning Area Land Use and

identified as a major arterial having a
right of way designation of 90 feet. Right
of way dedication should be in accordance
with the Southern Planning Area Land Use
a.nd Transportation Plan to minimize the
impact on this development for any future
roadway improvements. (Condition 4)
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use to permit a second dwelling
on a parcel located in an Agricultural (A) District. A single family
residential structure presently exists on the parcel.
To maintain the integrity of the existing single family neighborhood,
Staff recommends that this use be utilized by family members of the
property owner and that units not be rented in the future (Condition 1).
To ensure that all future property owners are aware of this requirement,
a deed restriction should be placed in all future deeds indicating that
the units are not to be rented and are for family members of the owner
(Condition 2). Staff also feels that this use should be transferable and
run with the land. (Condition 3)
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (6/17/86):
Mr. Belcher stated that Condition 4, requiring right of way dedication,
should be in accordance with the General Plan 2000 rather than in
3 86S091/BSJUN6/JULY23R
accordance with the Southern Plannin~ Area Lamd Use and Transportation
Plan, since it has not been approved.
On motion of Mr. Belcher, seconded by Mr. Rowe, the Commission recom-
mended approval of this request subject to the conditions on pages 1 and
2.
AYES: Unanimous.
Staff (7/16/86):
On July 9, 1986, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Southern Plannin~
Area Land Use and Transportation Plan, which recommends that Happy Hill
Road b~.~ 90 foot right of way, ultimately. This Plan was adopted subse-
quent to the Planning Commission's action om this request. Consequently,
there is a discrepancy between the Commission's recommendation and the
Staff's recommendation. (Condition 4)
Staff would note that a building permit has been issued to this applicant
with the condition that either the old structure be removed prior to
occupancy of the new structure, or this use permit be approved. Because
of this, Staff has amended Condition 4 to require the right of way dedi-
cation prior to occupancy of the new structure. This was done for both
the Staff's and the Planning Commission's recommended Condition 4.
The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, July 23, 1986, beginning at 2:00 p.m.,
will take under consideration this request.
