FISCAL MPACT None. If the Board declines to authorize there will be no further costs incurred. If the study is authorized, the applicant would pay fees to cover the County's cost for conducting the requested study. BA R N FOR RECOMMENDABONS Ponderosa Hames has submitted on behalf of the Finley-Tassajara Corporation a request for authorization for a General Plan Amendment (GPA) Study on a 155-acre site (APN # 200-100- 003) located in the Tassajara area. They are proposing a GPA study on a 95-acre portion of the site's westerly section fronting Camino Tassajara to be redesignated from Agricultural Lands (AL) to Single Family Residential-Medium Density (SM). This change would have the potential to yield between 214 and 349 single family dwelling units based on a range of 3.0 to 4.9 units per acre allowed under the SM designation. The balance of the site's 60 acres would retain the Agricultural Lands (AL) designation. Attached is a copy of a letter and map from Ponderosa Homes, dated October 12, 1999, which outlines the authorization request made on behalf of the Finley-Tassajara Corporation (see Exhibit "A").

As illustrated in the map listed as Exhibit "B": Urban Limit Line Modifications Considered for Tassajara Area, 1/26/99, the subject site is clearly located within the area of Tassajara that is currently under evaluation as part of the Urban Limit Line Review Study (as authorized by Board of Supervisors on 1/26/99). There are two alternatives in the study for the Tassajara area to move the Urban Limit Line inward, and under each alternative being studied the subject site would be placed r r t ism the Urban Limit Line. Additionally, in an earlier action the Board of Supervisors approved on September 22, 1998 a "disinclination policy„ with regard to considering General Plan Amendment study requests for the Tassajara area until further determination. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors decline authorization of a GPA Study on APN# 200-100-003, as requested by Ponderosa Homes on behalf of the Finley-Tassajara Corporation. Staff believes that it would be premature at this time to authorize a GPA study to redesignate a portion of the subject site from a non-urban use to an urban use allowing residential development since the Board has previously authorized a GPA study (now in progress) to evaluate the potential inward movement of the Urban Limit Line in the Tassajara area which includes study alternatives placing the site oUl$&ig the Urban Limit Line. The Board might wish to reconsider a request on the GPA Study authorization for the subject site once the Urban Limit Line Review Study has concluded and a decision has been reached on modifying the Urban Limit Line in the Tassajara area. at#aachment (2) Exhibit "A": Letter and map from Ponderosa Homes, dated 10/12/99 Exhibit "B": Map of Urban Limit Line Modifications Considered for Tassajara Area, Board authorized on 1/26/99 P 0 N 0 E R 0 3 A :F 99 OCT 12 Fii 12, 5 October 12, 1999 "' A D DtUVVERE"D Ms. Catherine Kutsuris, Deputy Director Contra Costa County Community Development Department 651 Pine Street,North Vying, 2nd floor Martinez, CA 94553 Re: Amended General Plan Amendment Study Request Camino Tassajara Road, Danville, CA Assessor's Parcel No. 200-100--003 Dear Ms. Kutsuris: October 4, 1999 Ponderosa Homes, Inc. submitted in writing a request for Board of Supervisors authorization of a General Plan Amendment study of the subject approximate 155 gross acre property referenced above.
