BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

OVERVIEW Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorlUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identify measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affecting the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats cOntinue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Business Impact Statement NA

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

J

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

- 3 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

J

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

OVERVIEW Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorlUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identify measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affecting the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats cOntinue to negatively impact the community

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

J

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

OVERVIEW Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorlUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identify measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affecting the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats cOntinue to negatively impact the community

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Business Impact Statement NA

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affecting the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats cOntinue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

- 3 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

J

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

OVERVIEW Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorlUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identify measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affecting the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats cOntinue to negatively impact the community

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

- 3 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

J

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

J

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Business Impact Statement NA

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

- 3 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

Environmental Statement

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

This workshop is not a project as defined by CEQA and therefore no environmental documentation is required at this time Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan those changes will require a General Plan Amendment The process to approve a General Plan Amendment is outlined in state law and is considered a project subject to CEQA

Linkage to the County of San Diego Strategic Plan The General Plan Update is consistent with the Countys Strategic Initiatives for Kids the Environment and Safe and Livable Communities by implementing goals and policies for the physical development of the unincorporated county that attempt to improve housing affordability locate growth near infrastructure services and jobs assign densities based on characteristics of the land (eg topography habitats and groundwater resources) and create a model for community development

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

- 5 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

- 2shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

- 4 shy

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

It is necessary for the County to implement a tougher strategy to address this issue The goal is for farmers to reduce the number of eye gnats to lessen adverse impacts on residents Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem

addressed at a subsequent meeting as part of a detailed workplan

Business Impact Statement NA

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND On August 3 2011(1) the Board of Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update After adoption of the General Plan Update the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to review property specific requests (PSRs) that had arisen during public testimony on the General Plan Update and that were not included in the adopted plan The Board also asked that each request be evaluated against the General Plan Guiding Principles and for potential impact to the Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) remapping efforts

PSRs originated from public testimony during the first three Board of Supervisors hearings on the General Plan Update October 20 (1) November 10 (1) and December 8 2010 (1) A PSR is a petition by a property owner or other entity for the Board of Supervisors to consider a different land use designation on a specific property than what had been recommended by staff and the Planning Commission At the conclusion of the December 8th hearing the Board directed staff to inventory and evaluate these PSRs

An initial list of the requests was published on January 3 2011 and the public was asked to review the list to ensure that it was complete Staff prepared draft analyses of the requests which were made available for public review on January 28 2011 and comments or corrections from the public were requested by February 182011 Additionally the draft analyses were presented to the Board on February 9 2011 (1) After the three week public review period staff updated the responses and evaluations based on comments received and additional staff review and presented the updated report to the Board on March 16 2011 (1)

In the analysis each property request was categorized based on the level of change to the General Plan Update necessary to accommodate the request using the categories of Minor Moderate and Major Minor categories indicated changes consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles which required limited additional environmental analysis Moderate changes also could be consistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles but would require recirculation of the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report Major categories were considered inconsistent with the General Plan Update Guiding Principles and would require more fundamental and extensive changes to the General Plan Update and associated environmental documents A total of 232 requests were analyzed and were categorized as 83 Minor 60 Moderate and 89 Maj or On March 16 2011 (1) the Board directed staff to review the PSRs under the Moderate and Major categories to detennine if there were alternatives that could be suggested to allow them to be considered Minor changes to the plan

On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered all the analyses that had been generated by staff and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 requests On August 32011 (1) the General Plan Update was adopted incorporating the 58 PSRs as directed

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

by the Board in April The Staff reports for October 20 2010 and February 9 March 16 and April 13 2011 are available in Attachment A

Remaining Property Specific Requests On April 13 2011 (1) the Board considered PSRs under the Minor category including compromise alternatives recommended by staff for PSRs categorized as Major and Moderate and then directed staff to make changes to the Land Use Map based on 58 of the 232 PSRs evaluated Generally these changes were the same as the property owner request however for 12 of the PSRs the Board approved the compromise alternative recommended by staff in the April 13th staff report (included in Attachment A) If the Board took action on a request such as supporting staffs recommendation or a compromise that satisfied the property owner then these requests are not analyzed in this staff report

In this report staff has provided an updated version of the analysis prepared for each of the 140 remaining requests Pursuant to Board direction this analysis has been supplemented with a discussion of any changes necessary to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles to support the request along with the potential impact to the timeline for preparing a General Plan Amendment for the FCI lands Additional changes that may be necessary to other aspects of the General Plan are also discussed such as changes to the Land Use Map and goals and policies These evaluations are discussed further below

Guiding Principle Changes Necessary to Support the Request Pursuant to Board direction each request contains an evaluation as to whether changes to the General Plan Update Guiding Principles are necessary to support the request In conducting this evaluation it is important to recognize that the Guiding Principles are not simply a set of statements and cannot be interpreted by simply reading those statements Rather the Guiding Principles are expressions of the General Plan Update bottom-up planning process which included significant discussions and documentation about the intent of the General Plan Update and hearings with the Planning Commission and Board to verify direction of this planning process To fully understand the Guiding Principles the entire record that they are based on must be considered The concept is represented in the following graphic

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practicesmiddot recommended by

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

Building Blocks of the General Plan Update Guiding Principles

Evaluation of the Guiding Principles requires consideration of the entire record on which they are based and implemented

General Plitn~lttulpter 2 VisiOrlandGufdirig Prmclples

J

Board Endorsed Draft Land Use Maps

Board Endorsed Land Us Framework and Mapping Principles

Staff RepOrts and Testimony from over 50 Public Hearings

Steering Committee Interest Group Planning Group and other Public Meetings (OVer 500)

This thorough consideration of the Guiding Principles and their record is required for two reasons First the law requires that general plan decisions be made based on a deliberative process that is not arbitrary or capricious This record serves as the basis for that deliberative process

Additionally state law requires consistency throughout a general plan The process described above resulted in the consistent interPretation and application of the General Plan Guiding Principles Therefore if the County chooses to implement the Guiding Principles differently for a single property it risks establishing an inconsistent basis for applying the Guiding Principles to other similar properties

The requests that are within the Major category were previously identified as requiring a change to the Guiding Principles This is because the request is not supported by the Guiding Principles with consideration of the 10 Guiding Principles the record and how the Guiding Principles have been implemented in other circumstances In order for the request to be supported a General Plan Amendment is required to modify the Guiding Principles and generate a new record of public outreach and a review that supports the modifications such as community planning group and other public meetings environmental review Planning Commission and Board of SupervIsors hearings

Additional discussion on the most relevant Guiding Principles and their interpretation is provided in Attachment B

Other General Plan Changes Necessary to Support the Request In preparation for this workshop each request was evaluated for other possible changes to the General Plan necessary to support the request These changes are primarily needed to maintain consistency within the General Plan For example an identified property may be surrounded by several properties with similar characteristics Therefore if the General Plan is to be changed to

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

satisfy the request those surrounding properties should also be changed Where possible staff specifically identified the areas that would require changes

Any changes to the Guiding Principles would likely result in a need for widespread mapping changes It is difficult to determine what the extent of those changes might be without knowing specifically how the Guiding Principles would be modified Therefore in these cases the staff analysis is more general and further detail could be provided if specific possible changes were identified

Impact to Forest Conservation Initiative Remapping Timeline Pursuant to Board direction each request was also considered for whether or not it would impact the planning process to remap the FCI lands These lands are areas that were affected by a voter initiative when the General Plan Update was being prepared therefore they were not included in the General Plan Update Per the Boards direction a separate General Plan Amendment is now being processed to bring these lands into conformance with the remainder of the General Plan As with the adopted General Plan the land use changes to the FCI lands are based on the General Plan Guiding Principles Changing the Guiding Principles to accommodate PSRs under the Major category would result in the greatest potential impact to the FCI lands planning process This would require all the draft land use maps for the FCI lands to be reevaluated in light of the revised Guiding Principles

Changes to the Land Use Map that do not also involve changes to the Guiding Principles could also impact the FCI lands planning process When remapping the FCI lands the land use designation of adjacent parcels was closely considered Therefore the draft land use maps for the FCI lands would also need to be reevaluated if any land use changes are made to accommodate PSRs adjacent to FCI lands

Workplan for Changing the General Plan Should the Board decide to direct changes to the General Plan the extent and type of changes will determine the additional work required and the needed support by staff and consultants Any change to the General Plan must occur through a General Plan Amendment in compliance with state law At a minimum state law requires that all General Plan Amendments include coordination with other agencies and tribes review by the public documentation and analysis necessary to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a recommendation by the Planning Commission and a hearing with the Board of Supervisors

Once the Board provides direction concerning the specific changes to the General Plan resulting from this workshop staff will prepare a workplan to accommodate those changes This workplan will include the recommended planning process along with the estimated timeline and costs necessary to accomplish the changes as directed by the Board Four potential workplan scenarios ranging from none to major changes are identified below

bull No Changes - Under this scenario the Board does not direct changes to the General Plan However mapping clean-ups will occur as planned every other year to address errors open space purchases and other minor updates These clean-ups would be supported by existing staffing and funding The first cleanup will occur in calendar year 2012 Additionally privately requested General Plan Amendments could still be initiated

SUBJECT GENERAL PLAN PROPERTY SPECIFIC REQUESTS WORKSHOP (DISTRICT ALL)

pursuant to Board Policy 1-63 at any time and would be paid for by the applicant The Board would also have the ability to initiate other General Plan Amendments in the future

bull Minor Changes Only - These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles and do not require s~bstantial additional analysis for environmental impacts In order to amend the General Plan some additional environmental documentation would be prepared as would any edits necessary to the General Plan documents The estimated timeframe for the Minor scenario is 12 months with an estimated cost of up to $300000 for staff and consultant services to support this approach Some Minor changes are considered controversial andor would alter changes already made to the project by previous Board or Planning Commission direction This controversy could add complexity and cost to the process

bull Minor and Moderate Changes Only These are changes that do not conflict with the General Plan Guiding Principles but may require more detailed analysis For Minor and Moderate changesmiddot staff would prepare a General Plan Amendment with edits to the necessary General Plan documents perform additional environmental analyses and prepare necessary environmental documents pursuant to CEQA The estimated time frame for the Moderate scenario is 18-24 months with an estimated cost of $700000 in additional staff and consultant costs depending upon the complexity of the changes It should be noted that some Moderate changes are controversial and could result in much higher costs and longer processing times

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

bull Minor Moderate and Major Changes - Major changes are not supported by the General Plan Guiding Pririciples and would require more fundamental changes to the General Plan Therefore revisions to the General Plan Guiding Principles and associated goals policies and mapping concepts are assumed In many cases the revisions will also trigger widespread changes to the General Plan Land Use Map to maintain consistency among similar properties throughout the unincorporated area Minor and Moderate changes could be included in this scenario but the Major changes would drive the time line and cost In order to formulate the fundamental changes that Major requests require it may be advantageous to coordinate their development with stakeholders the Planning Commission and the Board to ensure adequate public participation and staff guidance Substantial new environmental analysis and documentation is also anticipated for Major changes A new Environmental Impact Report will likely be necessary as will the technical analysis that supports the preparation of that report The changes will also require additional traffic modeling and will likely affect the General Plan Mobility Element road network and the Countys Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program The estimated minimum timeframe for the Major scenario is 30 to 54 months with an approximate minimum cost of $4 million for staff and consultants Under this scenario both the cost and time estimates have the potential to be far greater depending on the level of complexity and controversy of the changes

SUBJECT PUBLIC NUISANCE CONDITIONS CAUSED BY EYE GNAT BREEDING AT ORGANIC FARMS (DISTRICT ALL)

SUMMARY

Overview Residents of Jacumba and Escondido have endured infestations of eye gnats for years In Jacumba the source of the eye gnats was proven to be Bornt Farms an organic farm adjacent to the community For the past three years the Farm amp Home AdvisorfUniversity of California Cooperative Extension has been conducting research to identifY measures for the farmer to implement to impede eye gnat breeding

For the last two years the Department of Environmental Health has initiated a voluntary agreement with the Jacumba farmer to apply eye gnat prevention measures at the farm While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in traps the eye gnats are still adversely affectmg the community and the farmer has not consistently complied with the voluntary agreement

Research has also shown that an organic farm in the San Pasqual Valley is producing great numbers of eye gnats causing widespread irritation to residents in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo While the farmer has agreed to implement management practices recommended by the Farm amp Home Advisor residents remain concerned that eye gnats continue to negatively impact the community

Todays action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to work with the Farm Bureau and other interested parties and return in 90 days with recommendations outlining an approach that would address the eye gnat problem A tougher strategy is needed to address this issue with the goal of reducing the eye gnats to an acceptable level to lessen adverse impacts on residents

Business Impact Statement NA

Advisory Board Statement NA

BACKGROUND Eye gnats are tiny insects that breed in irrigated agriculture areas in the warmer climates of the southern United States They become a nuisance to humans and animals when they attack the eyes nose and mouth seeking a protein Source for their breeding While eye gnats are endemic in San Diego County farming operations can dramatically increase eye gnat breeding

Residents of Jacumba have registered complaints about eye gnats hindering their ability to go outside of their homes which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life Long suspected as the source of the eye gnats was Bornt Farms an organic farm whose crops are grown adjacent to the community of Jacumba The eye gnat problem increased as Bornt Farms increased the acreage of its production crops Due to organic farming regulations organic farms are not allowed to use pesticides that would normally keep eye gnats under controL

In 2008 meetings took place with the community of Jacumba and the Departments of Environmental Health Agriculture Weights and Measures and the Farm amp Home Advisor The Farm amp Home Advisor began research on measures that the farmer could use to reduce eye gnat breeding In 2010 the Department of Environmental Health entered into a voluntary agreement with Bornt Farms to apply measures that the Farm amp Home Advisor identified as possible solutions to reducing eye gnats This agreement was amended and renewed in 2011 subsequent to consultation between the Department of Environmental Health and the Farm amp Home Advisor

While there has been a reduction in the number of eye gnats caught in the Jacumba traps the adverse effect of eye gnats on residents remains present The farmer has also been inconsistent in his compliance with the agreement The community of Jacumba has urged the County to take action to reduce the eye gnat population to a tolerable level
