Drytown Zoning Issue Goes Back to the Table

Amador County Supervisors sent Drytown property owners and county planning staff back to the table to wrestle with a contentious zoning issue. The county planning department had proposed C1-X zoning for 7 parcels on the east side of Hwy 49 in Drytown. The C1-X designation would require the owners to apply for a use permit for any use of the property and the restricted designation was needed because of a potential lack of access, sewer and water supply to the parcels.
The owners and their attorney, appealed to the Board of Supervisors that the C1-X restrictions amounted to a property rights “taking” and that there were no problems with access, sewer or water. The county planning commission voted in October to recommend to the Board of Supervisors a zone change to C1, which would allow commercial retail, office, professional services or mini-storage without a special use permit. In spite of county planning staff’s continued opinion that the C1-X designation is needed, the Supervisors apparently agreed with their planning commissioners. Planning staff was directed to look at the property’s consistency with the standard C1 zoning and determine whether any additional environmental review is needed. The property owners will be responsible for the cost of any needed additional environmental work.
