“Robinson Terrace” Timber Harvest Plan

CDF recognizes that conversion is possible, or even likely:

“The plan does not try to shadow the fact that future conversion is possible, or even likely, in the clearcut portion of the plan area. The change in zoning as a result of the 2002 Gualala Town Plan is clearly disclosed in the THP.”
First Review Team Question #5

RPF’s response (June 4, 2007):

The sole purpose of this timber harvesting plan is to harvest timber and to manage the quality of the stands identified for group selection harvest.

THP Section 4, page 56: Future Operations

“Potential future homesite development is possible with any parcel with zoning allowing rural residential development. The current zoning of parcels contained within the THP reflect 2002 updates in the Gualala Town Plan. The Town Plan reclassified the parcels from Commercial and Timber Production to be incorporated into the Gualala Village Mixed Use (GVMU), Gualala Highway Mixed Use (GHMU), Gualala Planned Development (GPD), and for Residential Reserves. No residential use is currently planned or anticipated for the THP area by the current landowners.”

THP Section 4, page 101: Alternative Land Uses

“The landowner does not have plans for future development, however with the change in zoning the THP’s silvicultural and road building attributes can [be] used to buttress the county’s plan for the future expansion of Gualala. The current seasonal roads that will be used for hauling are to be used as residential roads if the Gualala Town Plan is implemented as it is currently drafted. The main haul road to be used during THP operations will be part of the Moonrise St. Extension…

The current project as proposed is consistent with the alternative future uses of the land as described in the Gualala Town Plan.”
