12Issues of Concern
- Building is deteriorated and needs to be brought
up to Building Code standards for health and
safety, particularly because it is outside of a
Fire District. - Septic and potable water systems are out-of-date
and there may be a problem with water quantity
and pressure. - Country Club Drive is an unimproved, dirt road.
The current anticipated traffic volume of 15
vehicles per day could be accommodated on the
road, however, any more traffic could require
paving the road. - The site lies low in a rural valley and is very
visible from the freeway and from adjacent home
sites outdoor lighting could be obtrusive. - Pool has been long abandoned and should be
inspected for structural integrity and safety
features. Water conservation measures should be
incorporated into pool management practices.
13Factorsin favor of granting the SUP against
granting the SUP
- The Comp. Plan designations of B Developing
allow this type of moderate non-residential
development. - Reuse of an abandoned non-res. Building would
increase security in area. - The proposed uses are of a scale and type to
minimize off-site impacts. - The area to the south is already
conditionally-zoned MH-36 to accommodate an RV
Park. - 5. There is support from 3 neighbors.
- The Project will require extensive repairs and
remodeling to bring the building up to current
health and safety standards. - 2. The use will add traffic to an unpaved road.
