Report
The Planning Commission conducted an informational workshop on the project on October 9, 2019, and provided direction to staff to address questions regarding the following: site access easement rights per the grant deed; clarification of Las Palmas Home Owners Association (LPHOA) membership; clarification of whether or not the proposed use is an allowed use pursuant to zoning and the LPRSP; use of subdivision improvements, specifically storm drainage facilities; wildfire safety; emergency egress/site evacuation requirements; number of emergency response events; how the project provides benefits that override the transportation impacts to Highway 68; intended use for the site per the LPRSP; where the remaining residential units allowed by the build-out could be located; location of off-site shuttle parking area; history of prior applications for the subject site; water supply; clarification of visual impacts; and whether or not the trees provide habitat for Monarch butterflies.

The majority of questions from the Planning Commission have been addressed; however, staff requests additional time to research and respond to a peer-prepared noise report and other comments submitted to the County on January 14, 2020. Therefore, County staff requests a continuance of the hearing on this project to February 12, 2020.
