Socrates: Good morning everyone, I would like to open the discussion on the Santos Final Map Subdivision. Can anyone tell me what this project entails?

Planning Commission Member: The project seeks approval of the remaining phases of a major subdivision that expired in recent years. The first two phases have been completed resulting in the creation of 43 residential parcels and the remaining three phases will result in the creation of 45 additional lots. Approval of the Coastal Development Permit and Special Permit is also being sought.

Socrates: What changes have been proposed to the previously approved project?

Planning Commission Member: No changes to the previously approved project are proposed.

Socrates: What is the location of the property?

Planning Commission Member: The site is located in the County of Humboldt, in the McKinleyville area, on the north side of School Road near its intersection with Windsor Road.

Socrates: What are the environmental impacts of this project?

Planning Commission Member: On March 6, 2008, during original approval of the project, the Humboldt County Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH# 2008012016). On September 1, 2011, the Planning Commission approved an Addendum to the MND and modification of the project. Further environmental review is not required as no changes to the previously approved project are proposed. The site is located within a Noise Impact combining zone due to its proximity to School Road. The project proposes to construct a 6-foot high fence/sound wall and berm to mitigate noise impact consistent with Plan policies. The parcel is located within the Alquist-Priolo Fault Hazard zone, and a special permit is required to be processed in association with a Final Map Subdivision within the Alquist-Priolo Fault Hazar Zone.

The room was filled with people as the planning commission began their meeting. William Cosby, the applicant for the proposed Special Permit, was seated nervously at the front of the room. He was dressed in a crisp suit and was accompanied by his agent, Keith Castonguay.

The planning commission began the meeting by introducing the agenda item. They asked Mr. Cosby to explain his plans for the project. Mr. Cosby stood and began to explain the proposed project, the desired purpose of the storage building, and the way in which it would benefit the area. He addressed the strict zoning regulations of the area and the reasons why he required a Special Permit.

The planning commission asked questions about the size of the building, the materials used, and the impact it would have on the environment. Mr. Cosby answered all of their questions to the best of his ability, providing evidence to back up his claims. He also addressed the concerns of the neighborhood compatibility, reassuring the commission that the building would not be an eyesore and that it would fit in with the surrounding area.

After Mr. Cosby had finished answering all of the questions, the planning commission discussed amongst themselves. After a few moments, they decided that the project was in compliance with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and was exempt from CEQA. They also agreed that the Special Permit should be approved, with the recommended conditions of approval.

The room erupted in applause as the planning commission declared their decision. William Cosby had successfully been granted the Special Permit. He thanked the commission for their time and consideration, and left the room with a sense of relief.

Love at the Airport Business Park

The sun was just beginning to set on the horizon, casting a pinkish-orange glow on the rolling hills of the Airport Business Park. Stephen Moser stood atop the hill, admiring the view of the valley below. He had been dreaming of this moment for years - the moment when his dream of the perfect commercial lots would become a reality.

Stephen’s thoughts were interrupted by a noise coming from behind him. He turned to see a young woman walking up the hill, her long dark hair blowing in the breeze. She had a purposeful stride and a confident air about her. Stephen couldn’t help but be drawn to her.

The woman approached Stephen and introduced herself as Maria. She had come to the Airport Business Park to work on the Final Map Subdivision, and Stephen was instantly intrigued. He told her about his dream of the perfect commercial lots, and she was entranced. They talked for hours, and Stephen could feel his heart beating faster as he looked into her eyes.

The sun had set, and Maria had to go. But before she left, she asked Stephen to take her on a tour of the subdivision. Excited and a bit nervous, Stephen showed her the lots he had planned out. As they walked, they talked about their dreams and aspirations. They talked about their families and their childhoods. They shared stories and laughs, and Stephen felt something he had never felt before - a connection.

The tour ended, and Stephen couldn’t bear to see Maria go. He asked if she’d like to have dinner with him, and she happily accepted. They went to a small Italian restaurant nearby and talked late into the night. Stephen felt like he could tell her anything, and he realized that he was falling in love.

The next morning, Maria had to leave for work. But before she left, she asked Stephen to take her on one more tour of the subdivision. As they walked, Stephen felt like he was in a dream. He was in love, and he knew that Maria felt the same way.

The two continued to spend time together, and over the next two years, their love for each other only grew stronger. Stephen’s dream of the perfect commercial lots was finally coming true, and he was happier than ever. He and Maria were married on the site of the subdivision, and it was the happiest day of their lives.

Today, Stephen and Maria are still
