Appeal of Planning Commission approval of after-the-fact PAD permit at 350 Madera Lane
Appeal by neighbor Crystal Shea of the Planning Commission's 4-0 approval of an after-the-fact Planned Agricultural District permit legalizing a cargo-container storage/freezer building, manmade pond, and 5,000-gallon water tank on a ~0.58-acre parcel at the intersection of Madera Lane and La Honda Road; applicant Eric Marquegard, a cattle rancher. Substitute motion to continue the item at least 60 days passed 3-2 (Canapa and Corso voting no); requires a PG&E letter on power exhaustion/capacity at the Midpen site, a Midpen Regional Open Space District letter on whether refrigeration/containers could be located at the farming site, referral back to the Ag Advisory Committee, submission of full building plans, and county-facilitated mediation between the parties. The original motion to reject the appeal (moved by Corso, seconded) was superseded.

- obtain Midpen Regional Open Space District letter on whether the project could be located at the farming site
- refer item back to Ag Advisory Committee for recommendation
- submit full building plans for department review
