Dear Board:of Supervisors, We are.greatly concerned regarding the intended action to'rezone our land (APH#010- 120.002)`as a part of theexclusive agricultural:district(A40) zone. The:Evangehcal:Pree,Church of Brentwood purchased this land on 8-24-88 for the precise'purpose`of constructing a church facility. It wasa,condition of purchase that a .. use:permit would be 'issued by the county to us for construction of a church on the property: :A`land use permit was in fact pursued.";and`grarited on May 31 1990 (REF:. Application.#21:,18=88'. „See copy.eiiclosed for the construction of a church and related , r; facilities)- U o a roval for the land use the church,con re ation re aced plans to p pp g g p .p p build this,project:' In addition, we pursued and obtained easements with So:.Pacific, ` Transportation Co and ECC`Irrigation'District to'collect and convey storm water from .:our parcel-to the,irrigation canal north of our property. Unfortunately, the church experienced a significant decline in membership with,subsequent decline in income. prior to construction on'the''parcel. 'Due to these:conditions, and our financial restrictions,.the land use permit lids been allowed to lapse: Our desire and intentions for Ise o£the land; However has not diminished in the least!';Our sole purpose,for investing,in thi&land remains the same: to construct.our church facility. We would earnestly. urge the board to grant an-exception,for this parcel,'so,as'to allow for'the :construction of'a-church and related facilities:` r. :;•Certainly, ,the basin for rezoning the land'-adjacent to,this parcel must have been , que'stioned'and„petitioned by other landowners similarly`affected In referring to the Assessor's in book.l0 page 18, there are 16.parcels which.are.hordered by the y r E C.C.I D. cana'to the north,Walnut Avenue to the west; S P, Railroad'tracks to the east;,and Payne,Aveniie to,the,south. The-largest parcel'in,this group is 3:4.14 acres The average size is 14.5 acres. .It'do'es appear questionable; to say the least;_ to rezone a ,,, , land'areato restrict the.coristruction of any buildi:9 parcels less than 40 acres, when` all lots within that=area are non,-conforming. It was also noticed in the Assessor's map ' book10; page 1.9; that lot#06 does have a.church which:has been built ori a parcel size. ”, of-4.82'acres,.yet on the'sharedaccess way,"Church Road.". the adjacent parcel 405 T , t VV11- -11C� ,r11- j P O Box 766.
