Peace4Kids Conditional Use Permit Presentation June 10, 2026
May 20th, 2026
Peace4Kids will be presenting their proposed project for a Conditional Use Permit for a Nature Retreat, Summer Camp, Guest Ranch at the June 10, 2026 Agua Dulce Town Council meeting via Zoom.
This property is located at 7707 Tosha Trail, APN 3216-006-020.
Proposed construction of a Guest Ranch on a 20.02 acre parcel serving as a nature retreat and summer camp for youth in foster care. The Project includes buildings for overnight accommodations for children and adult volunteers, one permanent residence for a full-time caretaker, community spaces including a kitchen, dining and living areas, flexible meeting spaces, and an indoor half basketball court. The Project also includes recreational development: a pool, meditation pavilion, outdoor kitchen, outdoor activity area, hiking trails, a garden, and a small animal habitat. The Project Site will be landscaped with drought-tolerant native vegetation and include a bioretention pond. Access to the development will be provided through Brian Ave, a 32-foot private street. During the summer months, the facility will operate as a summer camp; during the school year, the facility will operate as a nature and ecological learning center. The subject property is zoned A-2-2 (Heavy Agricultural – Minimum Lot Size of Two Acres). The proposed project’s land use most closely resembles a Guest Ranch, which requires a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) in the A-2-2 Zone.

Did you receive a notice from Los Angeles County Planning Department indicating your property is in the proposed expanded Significant Ecological Area? It's important that you understand exactly how your property may be affected.
Properties within an SEA have zoning rules that apply when you submit an application to develop a vacant lot or make substantial changes to your already developed property. Activities that require a permit include removing trees and plants, moving dirt, piling material on top of resources, grading a driveway, installing fencing, and building structures.
