Taschen Ranch Coastal Planned Development Permit

Description

The Applicant requests a Coastal Planned Development (PD) Permit to construct a 1,140 square foot (sq. ft.) pool, a 2,178 sq. ft. deck, a 1,683 sq. ft. accessory structure (cabana), a 750 sq. ft. seating pad, and a 125 sq. ft. equipment pad with a 6-foot fence. No plumbing fixtures are proposed in the cabana. Estimated earthwork includes 1,600 cubic yards (c.y.) of cut and 1,600 c.y. of fill. Utility upgrades include installation of one subsurface water line, one subsurface propane line, and one overhead electric line, which will tie-in to an existing electric pole. Two new water wells for the existing 10-acre agricultural use (organic farm) will be drilled. Proposed water well no. 1 will be located approximately 1,000 ft south of the existing dwelling and water well no. 2 will be located approximately 110 feet southeast of the existing dwelling. The following accessory structures that were placed on the property without a permit will be removed: • 800 sq. ft. plastic shade house wood framed structure • 600 sq. ft. plastic shade house wood framed structure • 800 sq. ft. plastic shade house wood framed structure • Three (3) 120 sq. ft. wood framed cooler sheds Proposed accessory structures will be used for the existing farming operation: • 160 sq. ft. Agricultural cargo container (AG container #1) • 160 sq. ft. Agricultural cargo container (AG container # 2) In 2016 approximately 0.17 acres of Bigpod Ceanothus-Chamise Shrubland was cleared without a permit. The vegetation was removed to construct one of the plastic shade wood frame structures. After the 2018 Woosley fire, the agricultural land use was expanded in various locations. Approximately 0.30 acres of Bigpod Ceanothus-Chamise Shrubland, 0.13 acres of Bigpod Ceanothus Chaparral, and 0.18 acres of California Sagebrush-Ashy Buckwhet Shrubland was removed without a permit. The Permittee will be required to mitigate 0.78 acres of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA) at a 2:1 Ratio (1.56 acres total). Water to the site is provided by an existing onsite water well, State Well Number (SWN) 01S20W11M01S and sewage disposal for the existing single-family dwelling is provided by an existing septic system. Access to the site is provided by an existing unpaved driveway that extends north from Cotharin Road.
