Project Description: The applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance (NCZO) Text Amendment to construct and operate a new 70-acre Commercial Organics Processing Operation at the site of an existing 15-acre Agricultural Composting Operation. The facility would process food and green material delivered to the site and package for sale mulch, compost and wood chip materials. A combination of open windrows, Covered Aerated Static Piles (CASPs), and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) systems would be used to process organic materials into saleable compost and mulch products. The NCZO Text Amendment proposes to amend Section 8107-36.4.1(a), Standards Relating to Organics Processing Operation. The proposed Project includes construction of six new buildings with a total footprint of 230,779 sq. ft. to be developed over 4 phases.

List of Potentially Significant Environmental Impacts Identified: Based on the analysis presented in the DEIR, the project would result in potentially significant but unavoidable impacts to Agricultural Resources and Traffic Impacts (Vehicle Miles Travelled).

Location:  The Project site is located at the south terminus of Edwards Ranch Road, south of State Route 126, approximately five miles southwest of the City of Santa Paula, in unincorporated Ventura County.

APN: The proposed project is located on Tax Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 090-0-180-085

Somis Ranch Partners, LLC, Applicant 

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT EIR

Project Description: 

The applicant requests (1) a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) to authorize the four-lot subdivision of an existing legal lot; (2) a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to authorize the construction of a community waste water treatment facility (CWWTF); and (3) a Planned Development (PD) Permit to authorize the construction of a 360-unit farmworker housing complex. The proposed farmworker housing complex is intended to be 100 percent affordable to farmworkers who qualify as lower income, which is classified as individuals and families who make 80 percent or below the area median income. The proposed farmworker housing complex would include 360 dwelling units, 654 parking spaces, and amenities such as community centers, play fields, tot lots/playgrounds, picnic tables, barbeques, and a basketball court. The CWWTF would treat 100 percent of wastewater generated on the project site. Treated wastewater would meet Disinfected Tertiary Recycled Water requirements in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22, and is proposed for use as off-site agricultural irrigation.

List of Potentially Significant Environmental Impacts Identified:
Based on the analysis presented in the DEIR, the project would result in potentially significant but mitigable impacts to Air Quality and Biological Resources, and potentially significant but unavoidable impacts to Agricultural Resources

 Project Description:  The applicant requests that a modification of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 3543 be granted to authorize the continued operation and maintenance of an existing oil and gas exploration and production operation (Agnew lease area) for an additional 25-year period.  If granted, the operation could consist of a total of five oil and gas wells on an existing pad that include the drilling of two new oil wells and re-drill of one existing well. The use Koenigstein Road for access to the project site, and the full-time use of an existing on-site gas flare, and a change in the authorized access to the existing oil and gas facility during drilling and production operations is also proposed. Access to the lease area would be made by the use of Koenigstein Road to and from Highway 150 during drilling and production operations. A private driveway connected to Koenigstein Road would provide direct access to the drilling site. 

List of Potentially Significant Environmental Impacts Identified:
Potentially significant but mitigable impacts to traffic safety and circulation.


Location: 
The project site is located approximately 2,000 feet north of State Highway 150 and adjacent to Koenigstein Road.
