Document Description
The current project, County Planning file PLN240026, is a subdivision of the 111.68-acre, three-parcel site at 9644 Betabel Road to establish four lots, or a net addition of one lot. The lot lines, which currently straddle two zoning districts, would be drawn with two lots entirely within Agricultural Rangeland (AR) zoning and two lots entirely within Commercial Thoroughfare (C-1) zoning. This addendum considers the current project in relation to a prior project approved on the site, the Betabel Commercial Development Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Project (PLN210054), and that project’s previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The addendum explains that, under the criteria of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, the Betabel Commercial Development EIR adequately evaluates potential environmental effects of the currently proposed subdivision and that no preparation of a subsequent EIR is necessary.
The Betabel Commercial Development Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Project, located at 9644 Betabel Road under project file PLN210054, underwent a thorough review process in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A project-level Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared following the requirements of State CEQA Guidelines §§ 15161 and 15168. On October 12, 2022, after closing the public hearing, the San Benito County Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2022-12. This resolution certified the EIR, adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approved the CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations for impacts identified as significant and unavoidable. The Planning Commission also made the requisite findings to approve the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the Betabel Commercial Development Project, subject to specified conditions of approval.
Subsequently, on October 24, 2022, appeals against Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022-12’s approval were filed. After publication of sufficient public notice, the Board of Supervisors on November 8, 2022, held a public hearing to address the appeals with a complete public hearing including public comment and open deliberation on the appeal’s merits. Based on the evidence presented, the Board of Supervisors denied the appeals and affirmed the Planning Commission’s actions in approving its Resolution No. 2022-12.
On September 25, 2024, the San Benito County Planning Commission adopted Planning Commission Resolution 2023-16 and the Addendum with its finding pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15164 of State CEQA Guidelines.
