Appeal of a Planning and Environmental Review Board Denial of a Time Extension for Polo Club Subdivision by Shawky Ghattas of SGM Investment Corporation, Tentative Map (TM) 4736RPL4 Time Extension and Major Use Permit P92-019, Bonsall Community Planning Area

(Carryover Item from 4/1/98, Agenda No. 2)

(Supv. Dist: 5)

OVERVIEW:

This is an appeal of the Planning and Environmental Review Board's decision to deny a Time Extension for a 165-lot, 442-acre Planned Residential Development previously approved by the Board of Supervisors because it does not conform to the current Bonsall Community Plan. The site is located on the north side of Gopher Canyon Road, three miles west of Interstate 15, north of Vista Valley Country Club in the community of Bonsall. It is designated (17) Estate on the Bonsall Community Plan, categorized Estate Development Area on the San Diego County Regional Land Use Element, and zoned RR.5 (Rural Residential) and A70 (2) (Limited Agriculture).

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:

This proposal will not have an impact on the business community.

RECOMMENDATION:

PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW BOARD:

Deny the appeal and adopt the Resolution and Form of Decision denying TM 4736RPL4 Time Extension/P92-019TE which makes the appropriate findings.

RECOMMENDATION:

DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND LAND USE:

The Department of Planning and Land Use concurs with the recommendation of the Planning and Environmental Review Board.

ACTION:

ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors withdrew the item at the request of the Chief Administrative Officer, on Consent.

AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

2. SUBJECT: Noticed Public Hearing:

POD 98-06; Zoning Ordinance Landscape Plan Procedure Amendments

(Supv. Dist: All)

OVERVIEW:

Supervisor Horn Board letter dated February 11, 1998 (4).

This is a hearing to consider proposed amendments to The Zoning Ordinance and County procedures concerning the preparation and review of Landscape Plans required by the County. The proposed amendments would revise zoning regulations to eliminate the staff review of the ministerial and technical requirements for Landscape Plans prepared by California licensed landscape architects. Landscape architects would include signed statements of compliance with these County requirements on their landscape plans. For projects where discretionary permit requirements or community design guidelines are involved, landscape plans would receive a limited plan check by County staff for these items only.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:

This amendment proposal is expected to have a positive impact on the business community by streamlining the County Landscape Plan review process for California licensed landscape architects and reducing the likelihood and cost of related plan check fees.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Find that the proposed project, POD 98-06, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as specified under Section 15309 of the California Environmental Quality ActGuidelines because the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments address the inspection of landscape plans and County methods of checking for performance of landscape architects (Submitted Attachment A).

2. Adopt the submitted Form of Ordinance:

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING TO LANDSCAPE PLAN REVIEW PROCEDURES (Submitted Attachment B).

ACTION:

ON MOTION of Supervisor Horn, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors continued the matter to June 17, 1998.

AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

3. SUBJECT: Multiple Species Conservation Plan Tax Incentive Program

(Supv. Dist: All)

OVERVIEW:

The Multiple Species Conservation Plan (MSCP) Deal Points approved by the Board of Supervisors included a goal to establish incentives to encourage voluntary participation in the MSCP. A method that could serve as an incentive for property owners to participate when there are no plans to develop the land, would be to allow the landowner to enter into a mitigation agreement that would exempt the dedicated open space from taxation. While the property owner could receive a tax break, the property owner will also benefit from receiving take authority under the MSCP agreement for agricultural activities. The people of San Diego County will also benefit as these voluntary dedications from the private sector will be counted towards the County's contribution for acreage in the MSCP.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action.

RECOMMENDATION:

SUPERVISORS JACOB AND SLATER:

1. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to return in 90 days with a Board of Supervisors Policy on the establishment of Mitigation Agreements with private land owners.

2. Direct County Counsel to prepare a draft form of agreement and standard Conservation Easement language that would implement said policy.

3. Direct the CAO to work with the Federal and State Wildlife Agencies to use the mitigation agreement as a basis for providing third party beneficiary status to land owners for that portion of the land which has been mitigated in advance by the agreement.

4. Direct the CAO to return in 90 days with a State legislative proposal that would allow the Assessor to assess the value of land subject to mitigation agreements and other lands dedicated for park purposes on an acreage basis, removing the land subject to mitigation agreement from valuation, as well as on fair market value.

5. Direct the CAO to report back with a recommendation in 90 days on an interim program, effective until State assessment law is amended, which would provide a County property tax refund to those properties subject to a mitigation agreement that can demonstrate that they would receive a reduced tax bill under the County legislative proposal.

6. Direct the CAO to develop and implement a public outreach program to inform property

owners of the availability and benefits of this program.

ACTION:

ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.

AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts

NOES: Horn
