17.42.100 Vacation clubs as a visitor-serving use in the Coastal Zone.
A. Any proposal for a vacation club, as defined in Section 17.04.745, shall be considered a visitor-serving use in the Coastal Zone subject to the following findings made by the planning commission at a duly noticed public hearing as part of the development review process and shall not be considered a visitor-serving use in the Coastal Zone without such findings:
1. Membership of the proposed vacation club is sufficiently large to insure to broad opportunity for visitor use;
2. The purchase price and ongoing maintenance fees for membership are reasonably affordable;
3. Membership in the club is easy to achieve and is documented in a membership program;
4. The membership is available to the general public; and
5. Permit requirements are established that will insure availability of transient accommodations to the general public who are not members of the club.
B. The record of proceedings on such a determination will require the applicant to provide sufficient information and program materials to demonstrate that the proposed vacation club use meets the findings noted above. The planning commission’s determination shall include a written summary and analysis of this information and written findings of their decision. The planning commission may impose conditions as necessary to effect the purpose and intent of this section. All determinations by the commission are appealable as provided for under this title.
