PROJECT INFORMATION:
Planning File Number: PLN130248
Owner: Cypress Point Club
Project Location: 3150 Seventeen Mile Drive, Pebble Beach
APN: 008-271-006-000
Agent: Eric Miller Architects
Plan Area: Del Monte Forest Land Use Plan
Flagged and Staked: No
CEQA Action: Categorically Exempt per Section 15308
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Adopt an ordinance to amend Section 20.08.060 of Title 20 (Coastal Zoning Ordinance) of the Monterey County Code to rezone a 35.3 acre parcel from the OR-D (CZ) [Open Space Recreation with a Design Control Overlay within the Coastal Zone] zoning classification to the OR-D-HR (CZ) [Open Space Recreation with a Design Control and Historic Resources Overlay within the Coastal Zone] zoning classification, upon finding that the ordinance is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act.
SUMMARY:
This ordinance adds the Historic Resources (HR) zoning overlay to the Cypress Point Club parcel, consistent with the Monterey County Coastal Implementation Plan and a Combined Development Permit granted to the Cypress Point Club. Condition No. 11 of the Combined Development Permit requires the applicant to request a rezoning of the parcel to add the HR [Historic Resources] zoning overlay to the existing zoning of the parcel in order to protect resources on the project site. The request was made by the Cypress Point Club on March 15, 2013. On May 8, 2013, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed hearing on the ordinance and recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance to amend the existing zoning of the parcel to add the HR designation.
DISCUSSION:
On August 29, 2012, the Monterey County Planning Commission approved a Combined Development Permit (PLN110380/Resolution No. 12-037) consisting of two Coastal Development Permits for additions and alterations to the existing clubhouse and pro-shop within the Cypress Point Club golf links. Condition No. 11 of the Combined Development Permit required the applicant to request a rezoning of the parcel to add the HR [Historic Resources] zoning overlay to the existing zoning of the parcel in order to protect resources on the project site. Monterey County Code, Section 20.147.080.C.3.b (part of Monterey County Coastal Implementation Plan - Part 5) requires that development on parcels with historical or archaeological resources be subject to a condition of approval requiring the applicant to request a rezoning of the parcel to add an HR (Historical Resources) zoning district to the existing zoning of the parcel. That section provides that the rezoning shall not necessitate an amendment to the Land Use Plan or to Chapter 20.147 (Coastal Implementation Plan, Part 5: Regulations for Development in the Del Monte Forest Land Use Plan).
The applicant submitted the request on March 15, 2013. On May 8, 2013, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance to amend the existing zoning of the parcel to add the HR designation (PLN130248/Resolution No. 13-016).
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, this rezoning is categorically exempt from environmental review as an action taken by a regulatory agency to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. The proposed rezoning to add the HR zoning overlay is required by Monterey County Code (Cultural Resource Chapter of the Monterey County Coastal Implementation Plan - Part 5) to indicate that the property has historical/cultural resources on-site.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel has approved the ordinance as to legal form. The recommending zoning amendment is required to satisfy a condition associated with an approved project (PLN110380) that was reviewed by other agencies; therefore, no other agency involvement is required.
FINANCING:
Funding for staff time associated with this project is included as part of application fees submitted for the Combined Development Permit (PLN110380).
