Eric addressed the Board - The application is for 137 acre conservation mitigation bank for the giant garter snake. The garter snake is listed by state and federal governments as endangered. The site is located about 10 miles southe east of City of Davis. Eric showed some slides and described the site. Phase 1 would be the 137 acres, phase 2 would be the land north of there.
Staff report summarizes some of the issues like some of the disagreements with State biologist. Concern that the giant garter snake has not developed the way it should. The state dept of fish and game is less kin of adopting the project. It is expected to generate $150,000 over the life of the project. Staff is recommending that you open public hearing and listen to the applicant.
Supervisor Saylor asked rejected by planning commission because they were not satisfied with agricultural mitigation. Supervisor Saylor asked if staff is ok with this. Eric said yes. Oscar asked if Eric could show the exact proximity of the location. He said that some areas are used for recreational purposes like duck hunting. Eric said the land is surrounded by wetlands. Supervisor Provenza asked if this project is the same as the one that was rejected - Eric said no, this project is different from adjecent one. He asked if the the State Dept of Fish and Wildlife would help out with this? - Eric said if they don't sign off they may not give credits for the project. Said they are working on that with Petrea.
Phil addressed the Board - said discussion with the applicant have come up with fund going into a special fund. The applicant (Dustin) addressed the Board. Eric Hanson giant garter snake expert. 137 acres, approximately 10 miles from City of Davis. Eric Hanson addressed the Board - aquatic species, only in central valley in CA. In Yolo they have 3 clusters Fish and Wildlife services are interested in this project. Regarding pope ranch was constructed more than 10 years and it was very experimental. we've had more than a decade to monitor the animals. The design - red features are several mounts to allow garter snake. Supervisor Chamberlain asked if they are planning on having those mounts? - Dustin said yes, they modeled the flow of the bypass. Supervisor Provenza asked were are they in negotiations with the State? - They are in the process of submitting application. this project success is not on the State approving this project, its beneficial in the federal recovery.
Goal is to continue purchasing ag land, but not in the Clarksburg land. Opened public hearing - No public comment P/R Motion. Supervisor Rexroad would like to hear how this blends into Yolo County's vision and how it's consistent with our visions.
Supervisor Provenza answered some of the questions Supervisor Rexroad had. Would gives us the ability to start a mitigation fund. When project come in we have a fund where we could support agriculture. He believes it meets the goals they have been pursuing. Said it will take a while. Confident this will go forward with County's goals. Sup Rexroad - talked about preserving ag land. Talked how not all ag land is the same value. Supervisor Provenza said that he talked to the applicant. Supervisor Chamberlain said that if you are going to have mitigation in the county this is the best place. said this property is located on the southpart and this part is likely to flood and its not a good place to grow rice. Supervisor Chamberlain said that if you are going to go with this project this is the best place to do it in.

Patrick recused himself from this item and Dirk stepped in his place. Eric addressed the Board - Said this project is located in the Monomuent Hills area. The proposal is to approve a parcel map, two lot subdivision map which would dive the 60 acre parcel into two and jog around a proposed home site. When the application came to the Planning Commission they voted to approve a recomendation of a two-subvidision map, but only for one future home site. Staff is recommending approval of a two subdivision map, but that the applicant chose one parcel to develop home site. Specifi remainder of 60 with no homesite be dedicated to open space.
Supervisor Provenza asked how many more acres we would be taking out of farmland if you build a second home? Eric said that you can loose up to 2.5 acres per house, so if they built 2 houses it would be around 5 acres. He asked why is staff recomending against a second house if there isint much of a dirrence. Eric said that neighboors are under the impression that they would never build houses on a 60 acre parcel.
Eric talked about another project that came to the Board in the past and was turned down.
Eric said that these two site are located on the top plain of the hill, so they would not be subject to flooding. Supervisor Chamberlain made some comments about flooding. Supervisor Rexroad asked if adjecent land owners have something tangible or if it's an urban legend that they belief homes cannot be build on these properties. Eric said that this goes back to the original environmental report that was completed around 1971 and something about this are being kept free of houses. He also said the county should of followed through on creating an easement to ensure no future house development occured in that area, but that did not happened.
Phil addressed the Board - The only basis to believing this lots cannot be developed is the 1974 EIR that says that this lot is being preserve for agriculture. there was never an action taken by the Board to preserve it for agriculutre, until 1995 when the Board revised the pd9 zoning ordinance to say lot 12 cannot be develop and has to stay in agriculture.
Supervisor Saylor asked about size of parcels surrounding the property - Eric said larger ones are 15 and the smaller ones are 10, the lower ones are 4-5 acres on the South. To the West are mostly 5 acres. Saylor asked about the current zoning for the area and if it permits a minimun parcel size of 20 acres? Eric said rural residential for this area is 5 acres. monoment hill is the only area where they allow a 5 acre development.
Public comment opened - Kent Calfee addressed the Board. Lola Ferrendelli also addressed the Board said that when they purchased their property they were told that they couldnt build on the greenbelt. Said she would like to see no houses built there. Is not a buildable piece of land. Supervisor Chamberlain read letter from Frank Sieferman who could not attend meeting.
Supervisor Provenza - asked about flooding problem? Eric said that PPW feels this site adequately. He said there is no FEMA maps that state this proposed house would be in a flood zone. Eric said that the applicant is proposing that the 1st home is move closer to the 1st home. The findings are only for one home, if they decide to approve the two homes they need to bring new findings. Eric said the other option the Board has is denying the two parcel subdivision. Supervisor Saylor talked about the options. Supervisor Provenza said he would like this to come back to the Board.
Supervisor Rexroad said he is not concerned with the two homes being developed, what he doesn't like the idea of an ag management plan. Supervisor Provenza talked about preserving land. Supervisor Chamberlain said he supports 1 parcel, one home.
Supervisor Saylor made motion: Support 2 parcels & 2 homes and secure the rest of the land with an easement. if it passes will return on 3/25 under consent calendar.including clustering, he said it would need to come back to the Board on March 25th as a consent item. Rexroad second it.

Eric addressed the Board. Been working on the Zone Updates since the General Plan was adopted in 2009. Decoupling Williamson Act from current ag zoning. Existing ag zoning - AP designation and A-1 (general ag zoning) - 20 acre size. New proposed zoning - 2 categories - Ag Intensive (flat land) and Ag Extensive (hillier lands used for grazing) and hold it to 80 acre minimum. Right to build one house and could build a second if it's within 250 feet from the existing structure. Spoke of commercial zoning codes. New category if there is high tech office park, would have a research development zone. Now will have a quasi public zone designation (churches, etc). Zoning applies to Dunnigan, Knights Landing, Madison, Elkhorn. Overlay zones. New zoning regulations. New citing criteria for lands in ag zoning. Have to re-zone all of the 10,000 parcels in the county.
Phil - first have discussion with non-airport discussion, as one of the Supervisors will have to recuse himself. Sup. Chamberlain - Knights Landing - he said FEMA is against this due to the levee problem. Eric addressed this. These 'planned' developments may actually never be realized. The General Plan is what determines growth and if the BOS determines that no growth should occur in a flood zone, then they could change that. Phil addressed the Board on this matter. When we get into the Specific General Plan Area, then this is where they would change it if needed. Proposal would allow residences to be placed anywhere on the parcel. Permit to build a 2nd home on the property would require a use permit before approving. Open p/h today and continue to April 8th.
opened p/h. The following individuals addressed the Board on this item: Paul Moller, Eldridge Moores, Michele Clark, and Judy Hills. (non-airport related p/c)
Chair - need to look at planned developments, minor use permits (2nd homes), and minimum 5 acres too small a mitigation and 2/4 mile proximity - would like these to come back for further discussion. Sup. Chamberlain recused himself.

Supervisor Saylor told people who commented to provide their comments to the Planning Commission prior to the Planning Commission meeting. Eric addressed the Board and talked about hangers in the airport.
Phil addressed the Board and talked about provision of the code - the avigation of easement the landowner recognizes there's an airport nearby and they are ok with noises. this does not take away landowners rights, but it's an acknowledgement that they will be exposed to these noises and aircraft flying over their property.
Supervisor Provenza asked what would be result of not forming . Patrick said its a broder issue. Eric talked about aggregation easements.
come back to the Board (no vote) Supervisor Rexroad said that we need to revisit this and he feels that we need to do something about this.

It grew by 0.8 % last year which is the same as CA. The unincorporated population lost 300 people in 2013 for about 1% decrease. Still with that reduction the unincorporate area alone is still larger than 9 counties in CA. If you take all the cities the unincorporated are is still larger than the entire population of Alpine, Inyo, Colusa,Mariposa, Modoc, Mono, Plumas, Sierra and Trinity, plumas at We are not growing rapidly.
West Sacramento continues to grow at a fast pace. If cities continue to grow at a fast pace like the have over the last 10 years, we estimate West Sacramento to be the largest city by 2023.
in the last 4-5 years we seen 21,000 move to Yolo County and 15,000 move out, many of the people who have moved to Yolo County is from the Silicon Valley and People have migrated to Wisconsin. In the past 20 years we have seen 30,000 acres of farmland converted into non-farmland uses and only 3800 primeland acres have been converted back to farmland.
Supervisor Villegas about increase of farmland. David said that alot of land that was considered poor quality 20 years ago is now being farmed.

Eric addressed the Board - The application is for 137 acre conservation mitigation bank for the giant garter snake. The garter snake is listed by state and federal governments as endangered. The site is located about 10 miles southe east of City of Davis. Eric showed some slides and described the site. Phase 1 would be the 137 acres, phase 2 would be the land north of there.
Staff report summarizes some of the issues like some of the disagreements with State biologist. Concern that the giant garter snake has not developed the way it should. The state dept of fish and game is less kin of adopting the project. It is expected to generate $150,000 over the life of the project. Staff is recommending that you open public hearing and listen to the applicant.
Supervisor Saylor asked rejected by planning commission because they were not satisfied with agricultural mitigation. Supervisor Saylor asked if staff is ok with this. Eric said yes. Oscar asked if Eric could show the exact proximity of the location. He said that some areas are used for recreational purposes like duck hunting. Eric said the land is surrounded by wetlands. Supervisor Provenza asked if this project is the same as the one that was rejected - Eric said no, this project is different from adjecent one. He asked if the the State Dept of Fish and Wildlife would help out with this? - Eric said if they don't sign off they may not give credits for the project. Said they are working on that with Petrea.
Phil addressed the Board - said discussion with the applicant have come up with fund going into a special fund. The applicant (Dustin) addressed the Board. Eric Hanson giant garter snake expert. 137 acres, approximately 10 miles from City of Davis. Eric Hanson addressed the Board - aquatic species, only in central valley in CA. In Yolo they have 3 clusters Fish and Wildlife services are interested in this project. Regarding pope ranch was constructed more than 10 years and it was very experimental. we've had more than a decade to monitor the animals. The design - red features are several mounts to allow garter snake. Supervisor Chamberlain asked if they are planning on having those mounts? - Dustin said yes, they modeled the flow of the bypass. Supervisor Provenza asked were are they in negotiations with the State? - They are in the process of submitting application. this project success is not on the State approving this project, its beneficial in the federal recovery.
Goal is to continue purchasing ag land, but not in the Clarksburg land. Opened public hearing - No public comment P/R Motion. Supervisor Rexroad would like to hear how this blends into Yolo County's vision and how it's consistent with our visions.
Supervisor Provenza answered some of the questions Supervisor Rexroad had. Would gives us the ability to start a mitigation fund. When project come in we have a fund where we could support agriculture. He believes it meets the goals they have been pursuing. Said it will take a while. Confident this will go forward with County's goals. Sup Rexroad - talked about preserving ag land. Talked how not all ag land is the same value. Supervisor Provenza said that he talked to the applicant. Supervisor Chamberlain said that if you are going to have mitigation in the county this is the best place. said this property is located on the southpart and this part is likely to flood and its not a good place to grow rice. Supervisor Chamberlain said that if you are going to go with this project this is the best place to do it in.

Patrick recused himself from this item and Dirk stepped in his place. Eric addressed the Board - Said this project is located in the Monomuent Hills area. The proposal is to approve a parcel map, two lot subdivision map which would dive the 60 acre parcel into two and jog around a proposed home site. When the application came to the Planning Commission they voted to approve a recomendation of a two-subvidision map, but only for one future home site. Staff is recommending approval of a two subdivision map, but that the applicant chose one parcel to develop home site. Specifi remainder of 60 with no homesite be dedicated to open space.
Supervisor Provenza asked how many more acres we would be taking out of farmland if you build a second home? Eric said that you can loose up to 2.5 acres per house, so if they built 2 houses it would be around 5 acres. He asked why is staff recomending against a second house if there isint much of a dirrence. Eric said that neighboors are under the impression that they would never build houses on a 60 acre parcel.
Eric talked about another project that came to the Board in the past and was turned down.
Eric said that these two site are located on the top plain of the hill, so they would not be subject to flooding. Supervisor Chamberlain made some comments about flooding. Supervisor Rexroad asked if adjecent land owners have something tangible or if it's an urban legend that they belief homes cannot be build on these properties. Eric said that this goes back to the original environmental report that was completed around 1971 and something about this are being kept free of houses. He also said the county should of followed through on creating an easement to ensure no future house development occured in that area, but that did not happened.
Phil addressed the Board - The only basis to believing this lots cannot be developed is the 1974 EIR that says that this lot is being preserve for agriculture. there was never an action taken by the Board to preserve it for agriculutre, until 1995 when the Board revised the pd9 zoning ordinance to say lot 12 cannot be develop and has to stay in agriculture.
Supervisor Saylor asked about size of parcels surrounding the property - Eric said larger ones are 15 and the smaller ones are 10, the lower ones are 4-5 acres on the South. To the West are mostly 5 acres. Saylor asked about the current zoning for the area and if it permits a minimun parcel size of 20 acres? Eric said rural residential for this area is 5 acres. monoment hill is the only area where they allow a 5 acre development.
Public comment opened - Kent Calfee addressed the Board. Lola Ferrendelli also addressed the Board said that when they purchased their property they were told that they couldnt build on the greenbelt. Said she would like to see no houses built there. Is not a buildable piece of land. Supervisor Chamberlain read letter from Frank Sieferman who could not attend meeting.
Supervisor Provenza - asked about flooding problem? Eric said that PPW feels this site adequately. He said there is no FEMA maps that state this proposed house would be in a flood zone. Eric said that the applicant is proposing that the 1st home is move closer to the 1st home. The findings are only for one home, if they decide to approve the two homes they need to bring new findings. Eric said the other option the Board has is denying the two parcel subdivision. Supervisor Saylor talked about the options. Supervisor Provenza said he would like this to come back to the Board.
Supervisor Rexroad said he is not concerned with the two homes being developed, what he doesn't like the idea of an ag management plan. Supervisor Provenza talked about preserving land. Supervisor Chamberlain said he supports 1 parcel, one home.
Supervisor Saylor made motion: Support 2 parcels & 2 homes and secure the rest of the land with an easement. if it passes will return on 3/25 under consent calendar.including clustering, he said it would need to come back to the Board on March 25th as a consent item. Rexroad second it.
4-1 (no Chamberlain)
Lola Ferrendelli addressed the Board and comments from Frank Sieferman Sr. were read by Supervisor Chamberlain.
Motion to Minute Order No. 14-38: Held public hearing and approved applicant's request to subdivide existing parcel into two parcels, develop a home site on each parcel and secure the rest of the land with a permanent easement or deed restriction.

Eric addressed the Board. Been working on the Zone Updates since the General Plan was adopted in 2009. Decoupling Williamson Act from current ag zoning. Existing ag zoning - AP designation and A-1 (general ag zoning) - 20 acre size. New proposed zoning - 2 categories - Ag Intensive (flat land) and Ag Extensive (hillier lands used for grazing) and hold it to 80 acre minimum. Right to build one house and could build a second if it's within 250 feet from the existing structure. Spoke of commercial zoning codes. New category if there is high tech office park, would have a research development zone. Now will have a quasi public zone designation (churches, etc). Zoning applies to Dunnigan, Knights Landing, Madison, Elkhorn. Overlay zones. New zoning regulations. New citing criteria for lands in ag zoning. Have to re-zone all of the 10,000 parcels in the county.
Phil - first have discussion with non-airport discussion, as one of the Supervisors will have to recuse himself. Sup. Chamberlain - Knights Landing - he said FEMA is against this due to the levee problem. Eric addressed this. These 'planned' developments may actually never be realized. The General Plan is what determines growth and if the BOS determines that no growth should occur in a flood zone, then they could change that. Phil addressed the Board on this matter. When we get into the Specific General Plan Area, then this is where they would change it if needed. Proposal would allow residences to be placed anywhere on the parcel. Permit to build a 2nd home on the property would require a use permit before approving. Open p/h today and continue to April 8th.
opened p/h. The following individuals addressed the Board on this item: Paul Moller, Eldridge Moores, Michele Clark, and Judy Hills. (non-airport related p/c)
Chair - need to look at planned developments, minor use permits (2nd homes), and minimum 5 acres too small a mitigation and 2/4 mile proximity - would like these to come back for further discussion. Sup. Chamberlain recused himself.
Airport - Eric spoke about this regarding the overlay zone. They are going to discuss this now. Specific uses are outlined on page 180 of the proposed zoning code. Sup. Provenza - why are these uses needed?
opened p/c as part of the p/h - those addressing the Board: Carol Pfanner, Ed Beoshanz, Carolyn Tanchyhill, Wilbur Reil, Trent Meyers, Warren Roberts, Jackie Lundy, Kristy Lynlevings.
Supervisor Saylor told people who commented to provide their comments to the Planning Commission prior to the Planning Commission meeting. Eric addressed the Board and talked about hangers in the airport.
Phil addressed the Board and talked about provision of the code - the avigation of easement the landowner recognizes there's an airport nearby and they are ok with noises. this does not take away landowners rights, but it's an acknowledgement that they will be exposed to these noises and aircraft flying over their property.
Supervisor Provenza asked what would be result of not forming . Patrick said its a broder issue. Eric talked about aggregation easements.
come back to the Board (no vote) Supervisor Rexroad said that we need to revisit this and he feels that we need to do something about this.

PDF_Staff Report
Att. A. General Plan Annual Report
David Morrison addressed the Board - This report is required by the State each year. Said Yolo County is the 28th largest county in terms of population. It grew by 0.8 % last year which is the same as CA. The unincorporated population lost 300 people in 2013 for about 1% decrease. Still with that reduction the unincorporate area alone is still larger than 9 counties in CA. If you take all the cities the unincorporated are is still larger than the entire population of Alpine, Inyo, Colusa,Mariposa, Modoc, Mono, Plumas, Sierra and Trinity, plumas at We are not growing rapidly.
West Sacramento continues to grow at a fast pace. If cities continue to grow at a fast pace like the have over the last 10 years, we estimate West Sacramento to be the largest city by 2023.
in the last 4-5 years we seen 21,000 move to Yolo County and 15,000 move out, many of the people who have moved to Yolo County is from the Silicon Valley and People have migrated to Wisconsin. In the past 20 years we have seen 30,000 acres of farmland converted into non-farmland uses and only 3800 primeland acres have been converted back to farmland.
Supervisor Villegas about increase of farmland. David said that alot of land that was considered poor quality 20 years ago is now being farmed.
