LAKE LUCIANA LLC. – LAKE LUCIANA GOLF COURSE - USE PERMIT APPLICATION P07-00398-UP
CEQA Status: Denial not subject to CEQA. State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(4).
Project Status and Request: The public hearing is closed. County Counsel's office requests cconsideration and adoption of a Resolution denying the Lake Luciana Golf Course Use Permit # P07-00398-UP. On February 18, 2009, the Commission adopted a motion of intent (3:2) to deny the project and directed County Counsel to prepare a resolution consistent with the Commission's intent.
Project Description: Request to construct an 18-hole championship golf course, attendant buildings and site improvements including lake side recreational uses with a small boat dock and boat storage pavilion and to improve existing dirt access roads to serve the golf course and nearby parcels. Proposed activities associated with the golf course would include the following: 1) Removal of existing vegetation and grading of fairways, cart paths and ancillary buildings including installation of landscaping and irrigation systems; 2) construction of a new clubhouse building with kitchen and eating area for golfers; 3) construction of a swimming pool, small boat dock and provision of canoes, kayaks and small sailboats for use on Lake Luciana; 4) construction of a golf cart storage cave and maintenance building; 5) construction of approximately 25 stream, lake and wetland crossings including riparian habitat restoration; and 6) construction, widening and improvement of the primary access road from Lake Luciana to Pope Valley Road intersecting approximately 1,000 ft. north of Ink Grade to 20 feet except in areas where widening would impact sensitive environmental features. The proposal further includes a request for a Use Permit exception to the County’s Conservation Regulations to allow portions of existing roads to encroach into the required stream setbacks and a request for an exception to the County’s Road and Street Standards. The proposed golf course is located on approximately 226 acres along the northern edge of Weeks Lake in Pope Valley. The applicant has also proposed reconfiguration of 17 adjacent parcels which occupy approximately 1,180 acres generally north and east of Lake Luciana. Reconfiguration of the parcels is within the scope of the Final EIR prepared for this project, although the proposed lot line adjustments do not require Commission approval. The parcels would be sold individually following execution of a conservation easement or similar deed restriction to protect the northern ridgeline of 15 of the adjacent parcels from future development. The project site is located approximately one mile northeast of the terminus of Barnett Road within an Agricultural, Watershed and Open Space land use designation and an Agricultural Watershed zoning district. (Assessor’s Parcel #’s: 018-260-017, 018-290-001 to -013, 018-080-056 to -058, -061 and -062, 018-270-013 and -054, 018-240-009, 018-080-063 and -064) Pope Valley.
