An applicant has requested a conditional use permit for an accessory building exceeding 2,000 square feet at 1198 E Elkhorn Lane. The project, submitted for review on August 5, 2026, involves a non-dwelling structure intended for personal indoor recreation.
The proposed building has an approximate footprint of 2,910 square feet, which includes 2,310 square feet of indoor space and 600 square feet of covered porches. The structure would stand 28 feet 9 inches above the natural average grade and is located on the northern end of the property.
According to the staff report prepared by Oakley City Planner Stephanie Woolstenhulme, the 6.40-acre property is currently used for agricultural purposes and is located in the AR-40 zoning district. The proposed land use for the site is residential and agricultural. The building is intended for personal use and will not include a dwelling or any business use.
Service for the project will be provided by water and septic systems. The Elkhorn Ranches HOA approved the building via a letter dated June 15, 2026.
The project is subject to Oakley City Code 13-4-19 regarding accessory buildings that exceed 2,000 square feet. The staff report recommends that the Oakley City Planning Commission approve the conditional use permit as presented in the design and site plan attachments.
