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
homesite location as we could if a subdivision request were applied
for.

ACTION OF BOARD ON az? , !190 . APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER
The Chair opened the public hearing. Karl Wandry of Community Development
Department reviewed the recommendations of the San Ramon Valley Planning Commission.
He recommended that because the combining district does not adequately address the
slope density, the Board send the matter back to the County Planning Commission to
make that change so it does address agricultural areas as well as residential areas,
and that it be made -a countywide ordinance. He further recommended that the Board
today declare its intent to adopt the ordinance after it comes back from the County
Planning Commission.
Eugene DeBolt, Civil Engineer, appeared stating he represents Mr. and Mrs. John
Weber, who own 100 acres of affected property, .who agree with the intent of the
ordinance, who applied for a building permit earlier this year and are in the
process of working with staff and would appreciate consideration on this item.
No one else appeared. The hearing was closed.
On recommendation of Supervisor 'Schroder, the Board hereby DECLARES its intent
to approve the Slope Density and Hillside Development Ordinance overlay in the
Northern Diablo area.
.IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the County Planning Commission is REQUESTED to
review the recommendation of the San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commission to
amend the existing Slope Density and Hillside Development Ordinance (SDHD-1) Section
814-2.402 to include general open space, agriculture/residential and agricultural
preserve, and the possibility of applying the ordinance Countywide.
