Project Summary:
1. The applicant is requesting to renew an expired Special Use Permit (SUP) for a public
equestrian riding and boarding facility, modifying Stipulation ‘k’ of Z2003091, which
allowed this facility to operate for ten years from the date of the Board of Supervisors
approval on August 29, 2005. This SUP expired on August 29, 2015; however, the facility
has remained in operation until today and the property owner wishes to continue
operation for an additional fifteen years with this request. Eagle Mountain Boarding
Stables has been in existence for 27 years since the approval of the original SUP case Z93-
22on April 20, 1993. There have been no citizen complaints of zoning violation.
2. The SUP area is 12.7 acres in size and consists of stables, outbuildings, shade canopies,
corrals, and a caretakers quarters adjacent to the stable. The facility is staffed by one
employee who resides on the site. The majority of the site is surrounded by a five-foot tall
three-rail pipe fencing. There are several corals on the site and grazing pens on site. The
facility is generally open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily; however, public access may
be possible outside of the operation hours with prearrangement with the property owner.
The equestrian stables serves the local horse owners of the area by boarding their horses
while the owners are on vacation or otherwise unable to care for their horses.
3. Access to the site is provided by a single driveway located approximately 500 feet north
of the northwest corner of Dean Rd. and Narramore Rd. The driveway has a width of 25’
and is surfaced with a mix of decomposed granite and asphalt millings. Traffic on the
driveway is generally light with an average of one to six vehicles per day. In the western
portion of the site is an area for horse trailer parking.
4. Justification for this request is that this facility has been successfully operating for 27 years
without any code violation or complaint from any area residences. The operation serves
as a starting point for horse riding opportunities along miles of trails in the adjacent Bureau
of Land Management federal land areas. According to the applicant, the facility has
offered quality professional care for horses boarded in the stables and offers veterinarian
care twice a year at reduced costs of the many clients of the facility.
