Loading...
Summary
The commission recommended approval of an accessory farm employee housing conditional use permit for landowner Cody Johnson at 592 East Main after staff confirmed the property meets contiguous‑parcels and water dedication requirements; commissioners limited the unit to a single livable bedroom per ADU rules.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit to establish accessory farm employee housing at 592 East Main for landowner Cody Johnson (voice S1). Staff (voice S5) said the applicant's contiguous parcels meet the 10‑acre requirement for accessory farm employee housing in agricultural zones and that the existing structure will be converted in place.
Staff noted technical conditions: the ADU must dedicate 0.218 acre‑feet of water per city ADU requirements and staff confirmed the fire‑hydrant distance issue noted in the staff report was resolved after consultation with the fire marshal. Commissioners discussed the unit layout and reiterated the requirement that no more than one livable bedroom be created under the conditional use conditions. The applicant said the housing is intended for on‑site farm employees, not general rental use.
The commission closed the public hearing and moved to recommend approval; staff will prepare the permit with the conditions discussed.
Key clarifying detail: staff recorded the required water dedication as 0.218 acre‑feet for the ADU.
