MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1992 - 7:00 P.M.
I. INTRODUCTION
STREMEL ENTERPRISES (Applicant & Owner) - The project consists of two related
applications:
County File #2988-RZ: The applicant requests approval to
rezone 26.62 acres of land from Heavy Agricultural District (A-3)
to General Agricultural District (A-2).
Subdivision #7790: The applicant requests approval of a vesting
tentative map to divide 28.62 acres into six (6) lots. Variances
are requested for net lot area for all six (6) lots. Five acres
required, proposed net acreage ranges from 4.28 to 4.6± acres
after deducting all access easements.
The subject property for the above reference projects are located at the northwest
corner of Camino Diablo (760 foot frontage) and Bixler Road (1 ,300 foot frontage), in
the Byron area. (A-3) (ZA: Q-28m) (CT 3040) (Parcel #002-030-005).
ll. APPLICATION STATUS
This matter was continued from October 12, 1992, mainly because of the extensive
agenda on that date.
There was also a question of the relationship of the urban limit line and the General
Plan use designation. The property is outside the urban limit line but shown in part for
Single Family Residential-Very Low Density. The General Plan use designation would
take precedence. The main purpose of the urban limit line is to preclude a General Plan
Amendment outside the urban limit line. It does not restrict residential use if so
designated on the General.Plan.
Staff had recommended approval of the project subject to rezoning a portion of the
property to Single Family Residential District (R-40), per the General Plan, which also
eliminates any variances for lot size. See attached staff report.

I.- INTRODUCTION
STREMEL ENTERPRISES (Applicant & Owner) - The project consists of two related
applications:
County File #2988-RZ: The applicant requests approval to
rezone 26.62 acres of land from Heavy Agricultural District (A-3)
to General Agricultural District (A-2).
Subdivision #7790: The applicant requests approval of a vesting
tentative map to divide 28.62 acres into six (6) lots. Variances
are requested for net lot area for all six (6) lots. Five acres
required, proposed net acreage ranges from 4.28 to 4.6 t acres
after deducting all access easements.
The subject property for the above reference projects are located at the northwest
corner of Camino Diablo (760 foot frontage) and Bixler Road (1 ,300 foot frontage), in
the Byron area. (A-3) (ZA: 0-28m) (CT 3040) (Parcel #002-030-005).
II. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the south 10± acres of this proposal (area of Lots 5 and 6) be
rezoned to Single Family Residential District(R-40) and the remaining north 20 f acres
(area of Lots 1 thru 4) be rezoned to General Agriculture'District (A-2). The area of the
proposed A-2 zoning to provide for net 5 acre parcel sizes to eliminate parcel size
variances.
Adopt a motion recommending to the Board of Supervisors that land in 2988-RZ be
rezoned from Heavy Agricultural District (A-3) to General Agriculture District (A-2) and
Single Family Residential District (R-40).
III. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. General Plan: The front third of the property is designated Single Family
Residential-Very Low Density (0.2 to 0.9 units per acre) and the remainder is
designated as agricultural lands.
B. Zoning: The site is currently zoned Heavy Agricultural District (A-3).
C. CEQA Status: A Negative Declaration was posted for this project on Septem-
ber 18, 1992.
2.
D. History: Prior applications for this property include:
MS 33-90: Applicant received approval for three (3) lots; 9.04 acres each. A -
parcel map has not been filed. The tentative map does not expire until June 4,
1993 (unless an extension is granted for the expiration date).
Subdivision 7415: Applicant applied for a six (6) lot subdivision; 4.5 t acres
each. The application was withdrawn on March 23, 1990 with the subsequent
submittal of MS 33-90.
Caretaker Mobilehome: Previous owners.had received two use permits in the 1970's.
The structure is still on the property but does not.appear to be inhabited. The LUP's
have expired.
IV. AGENCY COMMENTS
A. East Diablo Fire Protection District: Standard requirements are recommended.
See attached letter.
B. Byron-Bethany Irrigation District: A 25' wide easement has been requested
along the westerly and northerly property lines for irrigation delivery ditches and
access routes. Specific conditions were requested. See attached letter.
C. Environmental Health: Requested sewage connections not septic systems. See
attached letter.
D. Archaeological Inventory: No study recommended.
E. Building Inspection Department: Permits may be required.
V. ROAD AND DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS Public Works Department Report
The applicant has indicated on his Vesting Tentative Map that drainage release to be
acquired form La .Sorella Family Trust. He should be aware that Title 9 of the
Ordinance-Code requires that drainage releases be obtained from all property owners
between the boundaries of the subdivision and the point at which the surface waters
will enter a natural watercourse having a definable' bed and bank or an existing
adequate public storm drainage facility.
Since the proposed lots are less than 10 acres in area the applicant will be required to
construct interim. width road improvements offsite to a paved.roadway which the
applicant has access along to a public roadway. This requirement is inaddition to the
normal requirement for frontage improvements along the frontage of this property.
The applicant should be required to construct road improvements along the fronting
roads to public road standards. A minimum of a 28-foot road within a 40-foot right
of way would need to be provided in order for the roads to be County maintained
when connected to an existing County maintained roadway.
3.
VI. SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is predominately fallow-farm land. -There are four structures in various states
of collapse on the northwesterly corner of proposed Parcel #3. The site slopes less
than 0.3%.
Camino Diablo is paved and approximately 20 feet wide. Bixler Road does not connect
to Bixler Road north of the project. There is a gravel roadway that serves as driveway
access to properties east of the site. Coleta's Way is a private access roadway on the
westerly side of the project. It currently serves three residences. The middle
residence is on 5 acres that have been approved for subdivision into 4 lots (MS 7-87).
Properties to the north and south of the site are 30 acres or larger, properties to the
east average 10 acres, and properties to the west range from 1 to 5 acres with smaller
parcels as you get closer to Byron.
VII. PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project would create six (6) new ranchette properties. Each property
would have well water and be connected to sewer. No structures or a development
plan have been proposed or submitted.
Access to building sites Lots 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 would be by a central cul-de-sac.
Access to Lot 1 would be from Coleta's Way. Easement or right of way dedications
are required for Camino Diablo, Bixler Road and Coleta's Way. There is no proposed
roadway for the northerly boundary.
Site drainage is proposed as sheet flow. Public Works is requiring "collect and
convey" and the applicant intends to.do so across the land to the north. (A drainage
release would be obtained, not a storm drainage system.) Only minor grading is
proposed (less than 2' cut maximum), mainly on Lots 1 and 2.
IX. DISCUSSION
The main issue with this project is lot size. The applicant has proposed the two largest
lots (5 acres gross) along Camino Diablo and the smaller lots to the rear. Because of
access easements all six lots are smaller than that required by the requested zoning (A-
2 is 5 acre net minimum).
The current general plan designates the southerly 400± acres of the property as Single
Family Residential-Very Low Density. A-2 zoning is consistent with this designation.
Also consistent are R-40, R-65 and R-100. Staff is recommending that the rezoning
requested by the applicant be modified so that no variances for lot size are required.
Staff proposes that Lots.1 and 2 be zoned R-40 and Lots 3, 4, 5, and 6 be zoned A-2.
Lots 3, 4, 5, and 6 would be enlarged to 5 acres net and Lots 1 and 3 would be
reduced to 3± acres net each. Although the R-40 zoning would be an "island"
between A-2 and A-3 zoning, it is consistent with the general plan designation and
there has been a parcel map approved (MS 7-87) that created 1 acre parcels
4.
immediately to the west of the subject property (the parcel map has not been recorded
as of September, 1992). If the Commission is concerned that Lots 1 and 2 would be
further subdividable, then the rezoning could.be made R-100. That zoning would still
conform.to the general plan designation and the lots would be conforming but not
subdividable.
The project site is not used for agricultural production at this time, the soils re not
considered prime soil (Bc) and there is a high water table. The land appears to be more
suitable for the agricultural uses of a "ranchette" than to remain as heavy agricultural
land.
The proposed cul-de-sac will have to be widened to meet the Fire District requirement
of a 20 foot wide all-weather surface. Camino Diablo is not proposed to extend east
of its current terminus on the County road plan but Bixler Road would ultimately
extend north to the Bixler Road that connects to Highway 4.
X. CONCLUSION
Rezoning of the property to Agriculture (A-2) and Residential (R-40) would be
appropriate as indicated in Item IX above. This is consistent with the General Plan and
would eliminate any variances to lot size.
