Planners set 150-foot landscaping buffer and favor property-line measurement

The commission reviewed setback and vegetative-buffer options used by nearby localities and debated whether to measure from an adjacent residence or from the property line. Staff flagged a potential future conflict if a vacant lot later developed next to a campground; the property-line measurement was preferred to avoid relocating campsites if homes are built later.

Committee member 3 supported a 150-foot landscaping buffer and commissioner comments coalesced around requiring a landscaping plan as part of the CUP for both campground types. Staff will include a minimum landscaping-buffer requirement (initial draft: 150 feet from the property line) and a landscaping plan submittal requirement for CUP review.
