DATE: January 19 , 1990
SUBJECT: Referral on Permit Requirements for Unprotected Hillsides -
Diablo Area
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECONENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Direct the Community Development Department to institute a
rezoning to the SD-1 overlay district for the northern Diablo
area as shown on the attached map.
2. Until such zoning is in place, request staff to inform the
Board before issuing any building permits in this area which
might be contrary to the intent of this rezoning.
FISCAL IMPACT
The minor costs of processing this overlay zoning district for
. notification and mailing.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
At the conclusion of the discussion on the Stratmore Subdivision
#6933 , the Board,, at the request of Supervisor Schroder, directed
staff to review the approaches which could be utilized to regulate
the placement of homesites in this very sensitive area adjacent to
Mt. Diablo. The concern is that a home may be placed on a parcel,
with only a building permit and the County can' t regulate the home-
site location as we could if a subdivision request wer applied
for.

In considering this change staff examined various new approaches.
one approach would be to establish a new type permit such as a
structural location or plot plan review permit. To develop such an
ordinance would take substantial time to develop and have such an
ordinance adopted. Additionally, the staff time involved to develop
such an ordinance for this limited area may not be warranted.
The easiest option to implement this Board directive would be to
utilize the existing Slope Density and Hillside Development
Combining District (SD-1) for the area of immediately adjacent to
the Diablo community (as shown on Map A) . This ordinance provides
the means to regulate the problem.
The adoption of this ordinance could be accomplished within 3 months.
Staff wishes to emphasize that while this approach will work in this
limited geographic location and due to existing topography, we have
reservations about the utilization of this ordinance over a larger
geographic area. Should the Board or any Planning Commission wish to
pursue that approach over a larger geographic area, we would urge
that the ordinance first be referred back to staff for a thorough
review before it is considered for more widespread application.
