The Oakley City Planning Commission is reviewing a request for a conditional use permit regarding an accessory building exceeding 2,000 square feet. The applicant, John Moody, is seeking permission for the structure at 5650 N Franson Lane, owned by Woodward & Moody LTD.
The proposed project involves a building with a footprint of approximately 6,700 square feet, measuring 67 by 100 feet. The structure will stand 27 feet above the natural average grade and is intended for personal indoor recreation and the storage of trailers, cars, UTVs, and land maintenance equipment. The report specifies that the building will not be used for commercial activity or include a dwelling.
The property is located in the AR-5 zoning district, which allows one development right per 5 acres. The 4.81-acre site currently has agricultural land use, while the proposed use is residential and agricultural. The building will be situated on the northeastern end of the property and will maintain a 100-foot setback from the north property line.
The project has received approval from the Franson Estates HOA as of August 5, 2026. The staff report recommends approval of the conditional use permit provided the building complies with Oakley City Code, including dark sky and noise ordinances. Any future conversion to include an accessory dwelling would require additional approval from both the HOA and Oakley City.
The proposed building will be served by water and septic systems. The site plan indicates that there will be no stormwater retention.
