—Supervisors will discuss a Master Plan amendment to change the Master Plan designation from Low Density Residential to Community/Regional Commercial for a 3.64 acre parcel on the east side of Emerson Drive at the end of Louise Drive to create an RV and Boat storage facility.
The triangle-shaped property is adjacent to the freeway and was a remnant of its construction. The property also abuts residential homes. It was its proximity to residences that led to commissioners voting against approval of the proposal when it was brought before the Planning Commission earlier this summer.
Developers have now appealed the denial to the board of supervisors.
