Pertinent Issues

• Southern San Pedro Area Plan designates area as
  Rural density Residential land use
• Most of property lies within Flood Zone A
• Property has a recorded Conservation Easement
  (CE) which limits development and retains the
  land for wildlife habitat, watershed values,
  educational purposes and limited agriculture
• Per CE, existing house was demolished and all
  development rights terminated no transfer of
  development rights permitted
• Per CE, land is effectively open space and
  watershed protection

Factors in Favor Factors Against

• 1. SSPV Area Plan allows for rural residential
  densities, as well as grazing
• 2. Rural Comp. Plan designation allows R-36
  zoning
• 3. D Growth Category designation reflects the
  rural character of RU-36
• 4. The Conservation Easement limits development
  on property, consistent with RU-36 District
  development standards
• 5. There is support from neighbors

• 1. It would be better to have a larger RU-100
  designation.
