RECOMMENDATIONS
Grant reconsideration request of Joseph and Ivan Cerri and set time
for reconsideration.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. If reconsideration is granted the cost of processing: the
request will be borne by the applicant.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On September 10, 1991 the Board of Supervisors considered a request
by Joseph and Ivan Cerri to include property : in the Byron area
within the Urban Limit Line. The Board of Supervisors indicated
that they would not consider the change at that time.
On October 4 , 1991 a request for reconsideration was received from
the Cerri's based upon a modified proposal to change the Urban
Limit Line. As indicated in the attached letter from Scott Gordon,
representing Joseph and Ivan Cerri, the requested modification
would not result in a net change in the amount of acreage on either
side of the Urban Limit Line.
The Cerri proposal, if granted for reconsideration, would place the
request within Category 4 , which includes requests to be analyzed
in a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.

Re: Request for Reconsideration of Urban Limit Line
Determination
Joseph and Ivan Cerri
Dear Chairman Powers and Members of the Board:
The undersigned represents Mssrs. Joseph and Ivan Cerri in
connection with their request before your Board to include all or
a portion of the + 650 acre Cerri parcel within the Urban Limit
Line ("the ULL") . The purpose of this letter is to formally
request your Board's reconsideration of this item on your October
8 , 1991 agenda. Your Board previously placed the Cerri request
in category 3 , which we believe was in error for the reasons set
forth herein.
The Cerri proposal, simply stated, is to include all or a
portion of the Cerri parcel within the ULL by trading acreage
and/or development rights with the adjacent Veale Tract Farms
parcel. The Cerri property would be included by taking acreage
or development rights from the Veale Tract out of the ULL. The
owners of both parcels are desirous of the County evaluating this
change in the supplemental EIR to be prepared for proposed ULL
adjustments. The proposal would result in no net loss of lands
outside the ULL.
Inclusion of the Cerri parcel within the ULL will have a net
environmental benefit to the County in that Veale Tract lands,
especially those in the easterly most portion of that parcel,
have development constraints due to environmental, regulatory and
topographic considerations, which has prompted the proposal to
Chairman Thomas M. Powers and
Members of the Board
October 3, 1991

trade off development rights and/or acreage from this parcel in
favor of the Cerri parcel.
The Cerri parcel lies wholly above sea level, and is
characterized by flat terrain and poor soils quality. The land
has little if any agricultural value, but would provide a
suitable development site in connection with the adjacent Veale
Tract.
We respectfully urge your Board to reconsider this proposal
and to include it within the EIR scope of study.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Very truly yours,
Scot Gordon
