Planning commission approves Elkhorn Ranch Lot 2 plat amendment amid floodplain questions
Summary
The Oakley Planning Commission unanimously approved a plat amendment for Elkhorn Ranch Subdivision Lot 2 on Aug. 5, 2026, after public comment expressing opposition to rentals or event use and discussion about building elevation relative to the 100-year floodplain.
The Oakley Planning Commission voted unanimously on Aug. 5 to approve a plat amendment for Elkhorn Ranch Subdivision Lot 2. The public hearing included a comment from Gary Beroset, who said he was "fine with it as long as it's not going to be a present or future event center or even Airbnb type thing," and commissioners considered whether the amendment would allow event or rental uses.
Commissioner Kent Woolstenhulme raised concerns about how the 100-year floodplain and recent FEMA map changes affect allowable building heights and whether existing homes had been built to current floodplain rules; Planner Stephanie Woolstenhulme said many homes predate the 2021 maps and staff could not confirm earlier compliance. The motion to approve, moved by Jan Manning and seconded by Kent Woolstenhulme, passed on a unanimous roll call vote.
