UP-19;6-3 Kirkland Ranch (2026 Amendment)

The Use Permit Amendment Application for UP-19;6-3 Kirkland Ranch (2026 Amendment) proposes the expansion of commercial recreation and guest facilities on a 120-acre property located at 11125 Courier Rd., Plymouth, California. The project involves adding 10 short-term RV rental spaces, consisting of nine overnight camping spots and one permanent farmworker housing RV spot, along with the necessary supporting infrastructure. The property is situated within an Exclusive Agriculture (AG) zoning district and is enrolled under Williamson Act Contract 97 with an Agricultural General General Plan designation. The amendment is being processed by the Amador County Planning Department, with Krista Ruesel serving as the primary planner. Under County Code Section 19.24.036(1)(8), the proposed uses are permitted as secondary activities to the primary agricultural use of the land. The project has been granted a Categorical Exemption under CEQA Section 15301 Class 1, as the additions are considered minor alterations to existing facilities with negligible expansion of use. Administrative filing for the amendment was endorsed on July 17, 2026, following a documentary handling fee payment of 50 dollars.
