It might be reasonable to establish one large recreational vehicle park rather than two smaller ones, and it would be logical not to duplicate facilities unnecessarily. However, the principal benefits of expanding the existing park would be economic and would accrue to the applicants who would be able to double the capacity of their recrea- tional vehicle park at minimal costs. Applicants own additional adjacent land in the ID zone that is currently undeveloped. Although a motel and restaurant are planned for this site, some of the land could be used instead for expansion of the recreational vehicle park. In addition there is undeveloped ID land west of I-5. This property would be a less desirable site for a recreational vehicle park than the subject property, but it has not been shown to be unsuitable. The construction of additional recreational vehicle spaces could therefore be accomplished on non-resource land. The environmental, economic, social and energy consequences resulting from the use of the subject property for a recreational vehicle park will not be more adverse than they would be in any other area requiring a goal exception. Increased vehicle exhaust and sewage discharge resulting from this use will not have an effect on the environment more adverse than it would be elsewhere, because of the subject property's location adjacent to the I-5 freeway and the existing park and sewage treatment facility. The economic and social effects of the proposed use would be positive in the form of increased tourist expenditure in the regionl This will benefit local and regional economies. There will be no effect on the use of energy except perhaps increased gasoline consumption by recrea- tional vehicles, which would have no relation to the location of the park. The proposed use would be compatible with adjacent usesl The adjacent uses in this case are the I-5 freeway, the existing recreational vehicle park, the sewage treatment facility and Christmas tree farming. The common boundary between the subject property and the Christmas tree farm is only 240 feet long. The farm operation, which is owned by Yule Farms, Inc., of which one of the applicants is a principal, has not conflicted with or been affected by the ZC/CP/CU 89-4/RECOMMENDATION - 4 (ISBERG)
