Document Description
A Conditional Use Permit to improve an existing 3.3 mile long agricultural road, and to establish a 4-acre and 0.5-acre temporary construction staging area adjacent to HW 41. Improvements to the agricultural road include widening from approximately 18 ft to 30 ft, drainage improvements and installation of decomposed granite road base. The proposed improvements to the agricultural road are intended to provide access and to serve an approved 280-MW alternating current (AC) photovoltaic (PV) solar power facility located in unincorporated southeastern Monterey County, known as Cal Flats Solar Project. The Cal Flats Solar Project was approved by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors on February 10, 2015 (Monterey County is the Lead Agency). The 3.3 mile road is located one-mile north of the HW 41 and HW 46 split and Chalome Valley Road, along HW 41. Entrance to the agricultural road is located on the north side of HW 41. The project is located in the Shandon-Carrizo Sub Area of the North County Area Plan.
