Denial likely for proposed storage facility

A commercial project being proposed along Highway 4 near Forest Meadows came to a screeching halt in December when the Calaveras County Planning Commission made it clear that the development would be denied.

All 5 commissioners at the PC meeting agreed: the proposed Murphys-Minarik RV Storage facility (Hwy. 4 adjacent to Forest Meadows) was NOT a good fit for a Conditional Use Permit in the C-1 zone.  The planning dept. will come back with Findings for a formal Denial at the next PC meeting in January.

This is a very controversial project–many thought the PC was going to approve.  It’s possible the applicant may appeal the denial to the BOS.  The video of this Planning Commission meeting is posted on CAP:
