Temporary Use Permit

Assessor’s Parcel

During the Agricultural Commission’s regularly scheduled in person and ZOOM

meeting held on September 10, 2025, a request for a Temporary Use Permit to

allow for special events was presented to the Agricultural Commission from the

Planning Commission requesting Agricultural Recommendation pursuant to

General Plan Policies 8.1.3.5 and 8.1.4.1.

The Applicant is requesting a Temporary Use Permit to allow for special events

(weddings) occurring on October 3, 4, 5, 17, 18 and 19, 2025. Each event would

occur between 2 PM and conclude at 9:55 PM, with a maximum attendance of

200 people per event. Approximately 4 to 5 vendors would be utilized for each

event, with the first vendors arriving at 9 AM day of event and the last vendor

leaving by 10:30 PM day of event. Parking would occur within an existing gravel

area located on the southern portion of the property, with the events primarily

occurring within the central portion of the property. An acoustical study has

been submitted analyzing the potential events and providing mitigations to

bring the project within compliance of the El Dorado County Noise Ordinance.

The applicant’s parcel, APN 043-030-041, is located on the north side of Carson

Road, approximately 500 feet west of the US Highway 50 entrance/exit in the

Camino area, Supervisorial District 3. The subject parcel is approximately 11.43

acres and has a zoning designation of Planned Agriculture 20-Acres (PA-20) and

a General Land Use Designation of Agricultural Lands- Agricultural District

(AL-A). The parcels to the northeast, north and west are also zone PA-20, with

parcels to the south zoned Single-unit Residential 20K (R20K). Pursuant to Table

130.21.020 of the El Dorado County Zoning Ordinance Special Events,

Temporary Special Events are an allowable use pursuant to approval of a

Temporary Use Permit (TUP). Pursuant to Section 1305.060.D, the Planning

Director shall have the review authority of original jurisdiction for a TUP. The

procedure shall be staff-level without public notice. Notice of approval may be

requested through the Special Request for Notice on Future Discretionary

Actions form, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65092. TUP

decisions are appealable to the Planning Commission with 10 working days of

project decision.

Parcel Description:

•

Parcel Number and Acreage: 043-030-041, 11.43 acres

Agricultural District: Camino/Fruitridge

Land Use Designation: Agricultural Land, (AL)

Zoning: Planned Agriculture-20 Acres, (PA-20)

Soil Type: Aiken Loam; 3 - 9% slopes, Cohasset Cobbly Loam; 15-50% slopes

General Plan Policies:

Policy 8.1.3.5

On any parcel 10 acres or larger identified as having an existing or potential

agricultural use, the Agricultural Commission must consider and provide a

recommendation on the agricultural use (except for parcels assigned urban or

other non-agricultural uses by the land use map for the 1996 General Plan) or

potential of that parcel and whether the request will diminish or impair the

existing or potential use prior to any discretionary permit being approved.

Policy 8.1.4.1

The County Agricultural Commission shall review all discretionary development

applications and the location of proposed public facilities involving land zoned

for or designated agriculture, or lands adjacent to such lands, and shall make

recommendations to the reviewing authority. Before granting approval, a

determination shall be made by the approving authority that the proposed use:

A. Will not intensify existing conflicts or add new conflicts between adjacent

residential areas and agricultural activities; and

B. Will not create an island effect wherein agricultural lands located between

the project site and other non-agricultural lands will be negatively affected; and

C. Will not significantly reduce or destroy the buffering effect of existing large

parcel sizes adjacent to agricultural lands.

Discussion:

A site visit was conducted on May 27, 2025 and July 14, 2025 to assess the

existing conditions of the proposed development.

Staff Findings:

Regarding policy 8.1.3.5 staff believes the TUP will not diminish or impair the

existing or potential use of the parcel as these special events have been

occurring at the level being requested.

Regarding policy 8.1.4.1 staff believes the approval of the TUP will:

A. not intensify or add conflict between adjacent residential areas and

agricultural activities as the use is established and ongoing and we are aware

of no past or existing conflicts,

B. the TUP will not create an island effect as there are no sites between the

project site and adjacent agricultural parcels, and

C. will not significantly reduce or destroy the buffering effect of existing large

parcels as all adjacent parcels are agricultural lands.

Staff recommends APPROVAL of the request for the Temporary use Permit

TUP24-0006 Blossom Hill TUP for parcel 043-030-041.

Public Comment: No public comment

A motion was made by Commissioner Draper and seconded by Commissioner

Bolster to accept Staff recommendation on this item.
