Public Comment: J. Davey

Chair Vegna opened the hearing and upon conclusion of public comment and staff input, closed the hearing.

A motion was made by Commissioner Miller, seconded by Commissioner Hansen, to Approve this item as presented with the removal of the In-Lieu Fee in Condition of Approval #66.
No vote was taken.


A motion was made by Commissioner Williams, seconded by Commissioner Vegna, to deny the applicants request noting reasons for denial as follows:

1) No technical analysis or justification was presented to support the applicant’s request;
2) The El Dorado Transit Master Plan, testimony from the Transit Authority and Public Comment shows a need for the Park-and-Ride spaces and the Transit Authority Board has not vetted any technical analysis for this request;
3) These projects (Park-and-Ride spaces) are going to be fully refundable to the applicant through the Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP);
4) The intention of the Bass Lake Hills Specific Plan was to front load the needed infrastructure;
5) The assertion that it would be reasonable to push the requirement of the additional 50 Park-and-Ride spaces to potential future projects (potentially smaller future projects) would be unfair to those future projects and applicants;
6) The applicant agreed to the front loading infrastructure as approved and conditioned by the Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors additional condition of approval to include a bike path; and,
7) The current approved project is more consistent with the Bass Lake Hills Specific Plan and the County General Plan than the proposed modified request as presented to the Planning Commission.


Votes were by roll call.

Yes: 3 – Commissioner Vegna, Commissioner Williams and Commissioner Ross
Noes: 2 – Commissioner Hansen and Commissioner Miller
