Third party events do not take place at the camp. Campers arrive and depart the site via bus or private vehicle. Buses arrive and depart the site from the lower parking area adjacent to Burnham Road. Busses are prohibited from parking or remaining idle on Burnham Road. Camper and guest overnight stays are limited to 30 consecutive days. Employees No new employees are proposed. Currently there are three (3) permanent staff and eight (8) seasonal staff, which is subject to fluctuation, but will not exceed the 252 overnight and 1,080 daily campers, staff and guests which the applicant has requested as part of the proposed variance. There are five existing manufactured homes located in the southeastern portion of the property, which are occupied by staff and their families. These home sites were previously permitted as part the applicant’s 1998 Modification. Three of the manufactured homes will be replaced due to their deteriorating condition (one has already been replaced). The replacement manufactured homes will be of the same size and in the same home site location as previously permitted. HCD-approved permits for these manufactured homes will be required prior to issuance of the Zoning Clearance for use inauguration of this permit. Outdoor Amplified Sound The camp will continue to utilize a portable amplification system and microphone in the amphitheater during scheduled programs. All sound amplification devices used outdoors for both day and nighttime use are devices owned and controlled by the camp. The speakers will be positioned in the amphitheater, so they are not directed towards the northern property line. Security and Earthquake/Disaster Procedures Adult supervision of youth campers is provided throughout the year. The applicant will continue to maintain a handbook, which includes procedures for the staff to follow to protect the campers and on-site personnel in the event of a disaster. Security personnel shall be provided by applicant staff as needed. Access, Water and Wastewater Services Access to the project site is provided by two onsite driveways adjacent to Burnham Road. Wastewater service will continue to be provided by the Ojai Valley Sanitation District and domestic water service will continue to be provided by the Ventura River Water District. Discretionary Tree Permit The proposed project includes the removal of a tree house constructed within a protected oak tree. The project is conditioned to comply with the County Tree Protection Regulations as described in the Permit Conditions of Approval (Exhibit 3, Condition Nos. 24 and 25).
