DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Planning Services has requested a review by the Agricultural Commission for a Conditional Use Permit for a Bed and Breakfast, located on a 11 acre parcel south of Union Ridge Road, approximately 0.16 miles north of the intersection with Carson Road in the Apple Hill area.
Request: The applicant is requesting the Approval of a Conditional Use Permit that would allow a Bed and Breakfast Inn with no ancillary activities such as special events to operate in the Apple Hill area. The current farming/orchard operation, which is allowed on the site by right, would continue. The 11-acre site has an existing apple orchard that will remain intact, even with the bed and breakfast inn operation. The property includes a residence that was built in 1980, and an existing secondary dwelling. No new structures are proposed with the approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
The project would allow the use of an existing primary dwelling as a three guestroom bed and breakfast inn. Proposed operations are to be conducted in developed portions of the site, and no additional structures, development, or operations are proposed for the undisturbed/undeveloped portions of the site. No agricultural land would be disturbed or removed. No special events are proposed as part of the bed and breakfast inn. The maximum occupancy of six people is anticipated for the bed and breakfast inn, excluding owners.
Agricultural-zoned parcels to the east, west, and north (Planned Agricultural, PA-20) including Abel’s Apples Acres surround the project site. South of the site includes Open Space (OS) Zoned parcels, owned by the US Forestry Department.
