The Use Permit would also allow up to 12 special events per year.  "Events" are defined as horse training clinics by trainers who come to the Ranch for one to three days, usually on a weekend, to lead horse training exercises for a maximum of 25 participants.  Participants would be allowed to pitch tents or sleep in their horse trailers or RVs during the events.  The proposal includes the execution of an Animal Waste Management Plan.  The property consists of two parcels currently under Williamson Act contract, located at 36105 Tassajara Road, Carmel Valley (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 197‑251‑002‑000 and 418‑293‑049‑000), approximately 1,600 feet south of the Tassajara Road and Carmel Valley Road intersection, Cachagua Area.  Recommended Action:  Approve Project.
