EA SF 2-01; (a) Zone Change Case 6, Map 149; Conditional Use Permit 4, Map 149; Zone Variance 1 Map 149; Cluster Plan 2, Map 149; Vesting Tentative Tract 6051

(a) A change in zone classification from E(5) CL (Estate - 5 acres - Cluster Combining) to A (Exclusive Agriculture) on approximately 6 acres; (b) A conditional use permit to allow a sewage treatment plant in an E(5) District and a temporary rock crushing operation in an A District; (c) A zone variance to allow a 6.6 acre parcel where 20 acres is the minimum parcel size in the A District; Vesting Tentative tract 6051 proposing to divide an approximate 646-acre site into 127 residential lots ranging in size from 20,438 SF to 3.2 acres in size and seven open spaces lots for a total of 1,334 lots; variations to the Kern County Land Division Ordinance to allow the length of a dead-end road to exceed 800 feet, to allow Type C improvements where Type B are required, and to allow private access where public access is required; and six limited design variations. Zoning is E(5) CL and the designated map codes are 5.7/2.0 (Residential - minimum 5 gross acres/unit - Multiple Constraints) and 5.7/2.4 (Residential - minimum 5 gross acres/unit - Steep Slope) by the Sand Canyon Specific Plan. The CL District allows for the creation of varied lot sizes with reduced set-backs and other deviations from the Kern County Zoning Ordinance in conjunction with the establishment of enhanced neighborhood amenities. (3) The Cluster Plan proposes 127 residential lots with private access obtained from roads that are less than 60 feet wide, double-frontage lots with a walking trail, key lots, blocks less than two tiers of lots wide, and lots that have a depth to width ratio greater than 3:1. The project proposes to cluster the residential area around and existing man-made lake that will provide recreational opportunities for non-motorized boating. Additionally, various walking/bicycling trails have been designed throughout the residential portion of the site and public access to the lake will be provided. Public picinic areas that have been located adjacent to and near the lake have also been included. The open space areas identified on the map are to be dedicated to and maintained by the Homeowners Association. Access to the development will be from SR 58 via Sand Canyon Road and Tanganda Road to Meisetter Road. The applicant has requested a variation to allow the internal roads to be crushed rock rather than pavement, as required by the Land Division Ordinance. Domestic and fire suppression water for the site is proposed to be provided by a community water system utilizing the existing on-site wells. Sewage disposal is tentatively proposed to be from a packaged type community extended aeration sewage treatment with tertiary capability having an anticipated capacity of 75,000 GPD. The treated sewage effluent is proposed to be discharged into an existing on-site streambed. A temporary rock crushing operation on an approximate 6 acre area has been proposed for use during the development of the tract. Due to the rocky nature of the soil on the site, the applicant has indicated that it will be necessary to remove unneeded rock from the project roadways and lot pads. The rock to be removed and crushed is to be used for roadway surfacing on the project and those roadways adjacent to the project site. Any surplus aggregate will be sold off-site.
