Overview:
The proposed project would allow the creation of 2 lots on 4.97 acres in the C-1(F) (Limited
Commercial and Flood Combining) zones located at 12700 Meiss Road, in the Sloughhouse
area, within the Cosumnes community.
Summary of Significant Issues:
No significant issues are associated with the request since no new development is proposed and
onsite historical structures will not be removed or modified as noted in the environmental
exemption and restricted by conditions of approval.
CPAC Recommendation:
The Cosumnes Community Planning Advisory Council (CPAC) met on July 28, 2010 and did
not make a recommendation. The Council had concerns with the original request for three
parcels (now modified to two (2) lots) because of floodplain and septic system issues. The
CPAC has reheard the revised application on September 28, 2011, at which time they
recommended APPROVAL of the 2-lot map. (See Attachment B-2).
Recommendations:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the proposed project.

History/Background: County records dating back to 1961 indicate the parcel was
zoned C-1 (Limited Commercial Zone). The Flood Combining zone was adopted
and added to the parent zone in 1973 by SZC 73-73, ZMA 3146 as part of Zoning
Consistency hearings. In 2000 the Planning Department issued a Certificate of
Nonconforming Use (00-NCS-06130) for incidental dancing in the bar and
restaurant of the Sloughhouse Inn. The Sloughhouse Inn restaurant was established
in 1983. As a result of a Zoning Code Amendment requiring a use permit for
incidental dancing the use became nonconforming. A Boundary Line Adjustment
was approved on May 4, 2007 (07-BLS-0079) involving six (6) parcels in order to
reconfigure them into one C-1(F) parcel which includes the Sloughhouse Inn and the
retail commercial building. A portion of a split-zoned, AG-80/C-1(F) parcel (1260080-034) was added to the resultant C-1(F) parcel. Although the boundary line
adjustment was recorded at the County’s Recorder’s Office it was never mapped by
the Assessor’s Office.
C.
Project Description/Analysis: The owners request a parcel map to create 2 lots from
three parcels that total 4.97± acres in the C-1(F) and AG-80/C-1(F), the last a splitzoned parcel. The first two parcels in the C-1(F) do not comprise 4.97± acres as
depicted on the tentative parcel map. The Zoning Code requires that newly created
parcels in the C-1 zone contain a minimum of one acre if neither a public water
supply nor public sewerage facility is in use. In addition, a lot depth of 100 feet is
required if the lot or lots front a public street or highway in order to provide the
necessary setbacks and yards as required by the C-1 zone and sufficient depth to
provide a reasonable buildable area to serve the intended uses.
The proposed lots contain 2.49± acres and 2.48± acres in size, respectively. In
addition, the proposed lots meet the required lot depth requirement of 100 feet even
at its narrowest point on proposed Parcel 1. Since the site is already developed with
two commercial buildings, lot depth is not an issue. The Sloughhouse Inn and
restaurant and a commercial building occupy the site with a developed parking area
and driveway entrance on Jackson Road. The driveway width appears adequate and
there is adequate paved shoulder on Jackson Road for eastbound traffic to safely
enter the site. The State Department of Transportation did not submit comments.

The Certificate of Nonconforming Use issued in 2000 indicates that the Sloughhouse
Inn contains 3,000 square feet of building area, 224 seats and 58 parking spaces on a
lot then containing 10,000 square feet. The Zoning Code requires one parking space
for every seat, both fixed and movable. Additional seating capacity is available on
the outdoor deck for both dining and dancing if a use permit is secured in the future
for incidental dancing. Thus, to prevent the creation of a nonconforming parking use
as to parking, in the event the restaurant reopens in the near future, Planning staff
recommends shared parking between the lots. The Site Improvement and Permits
Section (SIPS) recommends the following condition be placed on the final map:
“Reciprocal access and parking between parcels shown here on shall be granted and
reserved prior to sale and/or reconveyance of said parcels.”
The Certificate of Nonconforming Use that was issued in 2000 for incidental
dancing is now null and void due to the closure of the restaurant for over 90 days per
Section 120-20(c) of the Zoning Code.
D.
III.
Consistency with General Plan: The C-1 zone is comparable to the Limited
Commercial (LC) zone and allows restaurants and other commercial uses.
Therefore, the map and the uses on the proposed parcels are consistent with the
General Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposal is consistent with the Zoning Code and the General Plan. The owners have
revised the map from 3 lots to 2 lots in response to concerns of the Cosumnes CPAC,
surrounding neighbors and the Environmental Management Department with respect to
proper size and floodplain issues. For these reasons, staff recommends APPROVAL of
this request.
