BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Section 65358 of the California Government Code requires that mandatory elements of the County General Plan be amended no more than four times during any calendar year. The Projects presented for approval in the Land Use Element Amendment Cycle require changes to the General Plan Land Use Designation on the approximately 62-acre Moon Camp project site, the 7-acre Ravinder Grewal Truck Stop project site, 2.38-acre Montanez Fiber Optics Office and Warehouse project site and the 3.16-acre Summerland Senior Care Facility project site. The proposed land use changes comprise the second amendment of the General Plan Land Use Element for 2020. All subject Projects have been considered in public hearings by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors (Board). Therefore, the Second Cycle Land Use Element Amendment of the County General Plan is presented for final adoption, including the following Projects:
Project No. 1: Moon Camp

The Moon Camp Project was considered in a public hearing by the Planning Commission on October 4, 2018. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Project with a vote of 3-2 (2nd and 3rd District Commissioners Allard and Smith in opposition). The Project had been scheduled for the Board hearing on October 8, 2019. After the hearing notices were distributed, and discussions with the Applicant, it was decided that minor revisions to the Final EIR were necessary to update dates and include additional language to the mitigation measures for the Bald Eagle as result of the Applicant having prepared a subsequent Long-Term Management Plan for the Bald Eagle. Prior to the hearing, staff also received comment letters that necessitated additional review and response. As such, the Project was taken off the agenda and is scheduled for a public hearing before the Board on July 28, 2020.
