FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared by: David A. Bobardt, Planning Mana 06
DATE: July 18, 2002 (CC Meeting of 8/21/2002)
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution of Intent Directing
the Planning Commission to Hold a Public Hearing and
Provide a Recommendation on a General Plan Amendment
Related to Agriculture /Residential Setbacks
BACKGROUND
On July 17, 2002, during discussion of orchards planted on the
Toll Brothers project site, concerns were raised regarding Land
Use Policy 11.2 relating to the required 200 -foot residential
setback from existing agricultural uses. Direction was given to
staff to return with a resolution to initiate a study of the
Land Use Element to provide clarification on this matter. A
resolution has been prepared for Council consideration that
would direct the Planning Commission to study appropriate
amendments to the Land Use Element of the. General Plan and
conduct hearings on the matter.
DISCUSSION
The attached resolution for Council consideration will allow the
Planning Commission to consider and make a recommendation on
appropriate amendments to Policy 11.2 of the Land Use Element or
other portions of the General Plan Land Use Element to address
residential setbacks from agricultural uses. An amendment to
this specific policy would not require an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance, since general plan consistency is required for
subdivisions and specific plans.
