County staff opposes third extension for proposed outdoor shooting range
Summary
Staff recommended denying a third extension of time for a proposed outdoor shooting range, saying the project has not made substantial permitting progress in more than seven years and has expanded beyond its original approval; Spring Valley CAC recommended approval.
County planning staff told commissioners they do not support a third extension of time for a proposed outdoor shooting range, citing a lack of significant progress on permitting and evidence the project had expanded beyond its original approval.
Staff presented item 19 as an extension request that would include waivers, design review and use permits. According to staff, the project has been under entitlement for more than seven years without meaningful permitting or licensing progress, and inspectors found structures and recreational-vehicle paths on the site that lack permits. Staff said those factors and the project’s expanded scope led them to recommend denial.
Spring Valley Community Advisory Council recommended approval of the extension, a divergence staff noted during the briefing. Staff also said an updated code now applies to projects and that projects seeking extensions are expected to comply with the current code.
No formal vote was recorded in the briefing transcript. The briefing record shows staff’s recommendation and the advisory body’s support; commissioners did not take a final action during the briefing.
Next steps: The item remained on the commission’s docket for upcoming public hearings; staff’s recommendation and the advisory recommendation will be part of the record forwarded to the decision hearing.
