USE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. PLN2025-0049 - MADRIGAL

Request to permit an existing firewood cutting operation, on a 4.52± acre parcel, in the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district. Firewood cutting occurs seven days a week, as needed but not continuously, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The parcel is currently developed with an existing single-family dwelling, detached garage, barn, and residential swimming pool. Woodcutting takes place in the open area at the southern end of the parcel, along California Avenue. Three to five family members of the property owner chop firewood on-site. Wood is brought on-site once a week via a personal pickup truck and removed after cutting. Firewood is not stored long-term on-site. No firewood sales will occur on-site. Bathrooms within the existing dwelling will be available for those participating in the woodcutting. The subject application was initiated as a result of a Code Enforcement case (No. CE22-0563) due to operation of the proposed land use without having obtained the necessary land use entitlements.
