A Modification to three previously approved permits, Coastal Development Permit (CDP-02-21X), Conditional Use Permit (CUP-02-09X) and Variance (VAR-02-03X), to allow for the replacement of a failed onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) and the replacement and reconstruction of a manufactured home. An Emergency Permit was authorized for the project on 11/19/2019, pursuant to Humboldt County Code Section 312-15. The existing manufactured home is the caretaker’s residence and will be demolished and replaced with a 1,782 square foot manufactured home. The previously approved permits authorized the current day operations of Miranda’s Rescue, a domestic companion animal rescue facility. The applicant has obtained the appropriate permits from the Division of Environmental Health and the emergency work has been completed. The parcel is served private water and septic. No trees will be removed, and minimal grading is required to facilitate development.
