Appeal of Land Use Permit File#LP022068
Page 2
BACKGROUND
After conducting a noticed public hearing, on January 13, 2004, the County Planning Commission
approved a land use permit for a cemetery on an 83-acre parcel located at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Bear Creek Road and Hampton Road in the Martinez/Briones Valley area.
Following the hearing, the County received an appeal from an organization identified as the Briones
Hills Preserve Alliance. The group has raised concerns about the compatibility of the cemetery with
the surrounding area.
The appeal was initially scheduled and noticed for this hearing, however it was subsequently
discovered that additional time is needed to prepare for and participate in the hearing. Consequently,
staff is recommending that the Board reschedule the hearing to March 23, 2004. The applicant has
indicated that they do not object to the recommended rescheduling to that date.
On March 9, 2004, staff mailed a follow-on notice to all of the parties who were mailed a notice of this
hearing to inform them that staff would be recommending that the Board reschedule this appeal
hearing.
Still, there may be parties who appear at the March 16 hearing who wish to offer testimony at this
hearing. Any such individuals should be encouraged to return on March 23 so that all interested
parties might hear the offered testimony. However, should a member(s) of the public find it
inconvenient to return on March 23, then the Board could consider allowing testimony for those
individuals at the March 16, 2004 hearing prior to continuing the hearing on the appeal to March 23.
