PUBLIC HEARING - Bottom
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
OWNER/APPLICANT: The Thomas John McDowell and Victoria McDowell Charitable Remainder Unitrust. LOCATION: The property is located on the west side of Highway 101 at 9664 Betabel Road, San Juan Bautista, California 95045. (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 013-150-017-000, 013-150-018-000, 013-150-024-000, and 013-150-025-0000). REQUEST: A Zone Change Request to change portions of the subject properties for a total of approximately 29 acres designated as Commercial Regional (C-3) to add the Commercial Thoroughfare (C-1) combining district to be consistent with Goal LU-5 of the San Benito County 20135 General Plan. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Agriculture (A) with a Commercial Regional Node shown in the 2035 San Benito County General Plan Figure 3-5. ZONING DISTRICT: Commercial Regional (C-3). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An Addendum to the 2035 San Benito County General Plan EIR.
The project includes repeal of Ordinance No. 992 adopted September 24, 2019, that established a a C-3 Commercial Regional zoning designation in light of the failure of Measure K on March 3, 2020, that would have established zoning regulations for the C-3 District. On March 24, 2020, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 1006 repealing C-3 zoning of a 29-acre portion of four assessor parcels 013-150-017, -018, -024 and -025 to establish the prior Agricultural Rangeland zoning for the entirety all four parcels with the Flood Plain combining district (AR-FP). A second ordinance to apply the Commercial Thoroughfare (C-1) combining district to a 29-acre portion of the four parcels is proposed as an alternative means to implement the 2035 San Benito County General Plan land use designation of Commercial Regional (CR) for the Betabel Road interchange.
