Land Use Committee

Project Review Report

April 18, 2012

1) DRC2011-00068 LINNVESTMENTS – Minor Use Permit for a wireless facility with five antennas, rooftop equipment and equipment cabinets. Site located at 2150 Main Street, Cambria; APN 013-261-020

Link to MUP application:

www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/PL/referrals/coastal/DRC2011-00068_LINNVESTMENTS.pdf

Summary: New antennas would be located in attic of two-story office building, with equipment cabinets in parking area on first floor. Visual impact would be negligible.

Recommendation: Approve

Discussion follows

Al McKinnon-expresses thoughts re. cellular businesses.  He appealed and won against having a cellular station onWeymouthon Happy Hill several years ago.

Opposed to cellular station on a medical building. There is a right and a wrong place to put it. This is the wrong place.

Discussion.

Supervisor Gibson- the county cannot stop cell towers on basis of health concerns.

S. Castaneda-parents have fought against cell towers near schools.

Mary Giacoletti-the precautionary principle? Can it apply to this situation?

Telecommunications Act of 1986-health issues cannot be used in cancelling location of cell phone towers.

Teri-why not add to the church tower?

Motion to disapprove the proposal.

Vote

in favor: 8

abstain:2

Motion passes.

2) DRC2011-00067 RAGGED POINT INN – Minor Use Permit for a T-Mobile wireless site co-located at Ragged Point Inn, 18091 Highway One, Ragged Point; APN 011-011-010

Link to MUP application:

www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/PL/referrals/coastal/DRC2011-00067_RAGGED-PT-INN_TMOBILE.pdf

Summary: Project would construct ground-level antennas, surrounded by enclosure, adjacent to existing wireless antenna and sewage treatment facilities at Ragged Point Inn. Visual impact would be minimal – enclosure would be visible in distance from near San Carpofaro Creek crossing on Highway 1.

Recommendation:  Approve

Ragged Point Inn Minor Use Permit for a T-Mobile wireless site co-located at Ragged Point Inn, 18091 Highway One, Ragged Point

Motion to approve as stated.

Vote

In favor: 7

Opposed: 1

Abstain: 2

3) DRC2011-00076 SOHAGI – Minor Use Permit for a vacation rental located outside the urban reserve line. Site located at 6198 Brighton Lane, Cambria; APN 013-085-008

Link to MUP application:

www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/PL/referrals/coastal/DRC2011-00076_SOHAGI.pdf

Summary: Parcel is adjacent to urban reserve line on west side of Leimert Estates. Because it is outside the URL, it is not subject to the existing vacation rental ordinance for Cambria or the pending revisions of that ordinance. It does meet the distance requirement of the ordinance, revised as well as current (i.e., there is no existing vacation rental within 200 feet of the parcel boundaries – see map at http://www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/AC/Digital/2011-12+Tax+Rate+Book.pdf)

However, it is close enough to other residences to present potential issues (noise, excessive use, parking, etc.) similar to those of VRs within the URL. For that reason, we recommend that the MUP be approved on condition that Cambria-specific county rules for VR also be applied to it. 

Recommendation: Approve, with Cambria URL vacation-rental ordinance conditions applied.

Project #3- MUP for vacation rental at6198 Brighton Lanein Leimert.

Is this a violation of the CC& R’s? not a problem for the county.

Motion made to approve project.

Vote:

In favor: 8

4) DRC2011-00072 CHALIFOUX – Minor Use Permit for construction of a new deck.

Link to MUP application:

www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/PL/referrals/coastal/DRC2011-00072_CHALIFOUX-MUP.pdf

Summary: Project would add 416 sf of decking to home with 1,104 sf of living space on 6,251 sf forested lot. One approx. 12” pine tree to be removed. Per North Coast Area Plan, four trees will need to be planted as replacements.

Recommendation: Approve

Chalifoux Residence

Motion to approve:  In favor: 9

Abstain: 1

Motion passes.
