INTER-DEPARTMENTAL MEMOR.ANDLiII
OFFICE OF BUTTE COUNTY COUNSEI,
TO Planning
BY: Delbert M. Si.emsen, Deputy County Counsel
SUBJECT VARIANCE 1 AR.b H. GARNET , AP S1-01--?_5
DATE: November 25, 1977
t
You requested an opinion from our office as to whether
Mr. Garner's application for a variance to parcel size was improper,
thus authorizing a refund of Mr. Garner'r- filing fee. The facto, are
that Mr. Garner's parcel is in an interim TIS-5 zone which requires
a minimum parcel size of '5 acres Tvir, Garner wished to d. vide 10
acres into 3 parcels all which would be less then 5 acres in size.
The only possible way to do this would be for NIr, Garner to obtaina variance front the minimum parcel sico.
The first question to be answered is whether a variance
can be granted to create a parcel which would be sul�•standard in that:
it would not meet, the minimum acreage for Che 2oning districts. Section
65906 of the Government Code, dealing with variances, does not include
nor exclude. such a variance. lit researching this question, I have
found only one case in, Which the Court discussed the question. In
ifill vs, City of Manhattan Beach 6 Cal.3d 279, the plaintiff owned, 2
lots
contiguous to each other, Cine of the lots was developed, having
a residence on it, At the rime that the plaintiff acquired both
parcels, each lot met the minimum lot size required by the city zoning
ordinance. The city subsequently changed the zoning ordinance to
increase the: minimum lot size; the effect of which was to make the
parcel that was undeveloped a the
lot. The Court in reviewing
the ordinances of the city, deckled that the undeveloped parcel, dial,
not meet the definition of a lot as defined as in the city zoning
ordinances. The Court concluded, therefore, that both parcels consti-
tuted one lot. The plaintiff had applied for a ,lot split variance in
order to establish the separate character of the 2 parcels as legal
building, sites . The city had turned down the request. The Court ii 1a
upholding the city's position stated;
"There is likewise no merit to plaintiff's claim
of discrimination followin,; from the availability
of variances to other owners of substandard:
parcels. It is manifestthat she, like the awnex
of ;any substandard parcel which adjoins other
land within the same lot must obtain a lot split
variance before selling or developing the parcels
separately, The owner of an i.sol aced substandard
parcel, wne cannot make
his
parcel conform p ort.. arm to
tI
zoning requirements by any method,, may be able to

to make a showing of hardship which would justify
the granting of a variance Tho,t is not true of
plaintiff, who may use parcel B, in conjunction with
parcel. A, the ramainder of lot l., and thereby realize,
some. substantial benefit .from parcel B."
The conclusion reached, therefore', :from the case of Hill vs.
Cit of Manhattan Beach, is that a: lot split: variance in artd o. 1tse Tf
wou"" �na be i C c ai ," "zio tr��rer, such variance would have to meet
the
stringent requirements ou't; line -.d in -the Government Code. Therefore,
Mr, Garner would not be entitled to a refund of 1s ;filing fee on the
basis of having applied for a variance to lot size in order to split
property,
Although, Mr. Garner would not he entit:l.ad to a refund on
the: grounds that a request for a variance to a lot parcel size would.
be illegal, if Ole purpose of the variance would i.n efi:ect constitute
a use variance, such variance is prohibited by §65906 of the.Government
Code and as such Mr. Garnex's application fee should not have been
taken
The zone covering Mr.. Gar_ner's parcel is an interim TM -5`.
Mr. Garner requested a var ance' to lot size in order to file a parcel,
map creating 3 parcels on, 1.0 acres. Reviewing the TM -5 zone, this
district allows dwelling units at greater densities with a use permit
than a single family dwelling. It would appear, therefore, that
residential development in: the TM -5 zone would not be an illegal use
in the zone, As such, Mr. Garner' s Iapplication wb1ch would amount to
creating a residential development in the TM -5 zone district, would
not constitute a use variance prohibited by law, fir. Garner would
not be entitled to a refund of his ;filing fee on the basis of having
applied for a prohibited use varia.n.ew,
In conclusion, no basis exists for refunding fir, Garner'
filing fee.

TZx DIOCUSSION OF ENVxaiClNM8NT LALUA' ION
This proposal is a variance from the Interim TM -5 zoning to allow
division of 10-1- acres into 3 Parcels of 2,, 3a 6; and 3.? acres. The
pa„rre1 is located on Humbug Road about Y► mile south of Hell town Road.
Humbug Road. separates 2 acres of -the 'existing parcel from the re-
maining 7.3 acres. The applican:L states the 7.3 acres is -too small
to fart! and *too large fox, one residence.
I(e): There is a high erosion potential in this area due to slope,
Soil type and annual rainfall. Slopes are less than 20+,/ ori most of
-the property though in excess of 30/ near Butte Creek.
1(g-): A moderate landslide potential exists. Building stxlctures
should be properly installed and placed a sufficient distance from,
Butte Creek to prevent landslide risks.
3(e): Due to the pro:cimity of Parcels 2, and 3 to Butte Creek, special
measures should be taken to assure that septic systems do not encroach
on the water quality. A. setback in ekes, of 100 feet should be con-
sidered.
3(i).- flood hazards are minimal from butte Creek at this time
Future climatic conditions could inundateport_.ons of the property.
Setback of houses and appurtenant structures a considerable distance
is advisable.
5(c, d) One result of the creation, of"'rural homesi_tes is often the
a
installation of fencing or other barriers to wildlife migration.
Limited fencing is preferable to allow deer migration and the use
of the habitat by native species. The Butte Creek fishery is also
an important resource to protect,.
8; The Butte County General plan shows this as grazing and open ]and,
I - 5 acres per dwelling unit. ��
• g aYa.e Open Space 1J7,emer�,t recommends large ,
This um parcel sizes for open space' lands outside the urban area.
p
d is currently in the Interim TM -5, lone Until: LTanuary 1978.
The Butte Creek Canyon, Rezone pxoposal. desi, ,sates this area for F-5
(Voothil,l, Zone, 5 acre minimum .
NOTE: A variance application was made by W'illiau D. Nichols, AI-'5'I-0'I'�2�
on adjacent property in November, '1976., In this case-, a 3.8 acre
parcel wG.s separated from a larger acreage by Butte Creek. The
Planning Commission denied ,the varianae to zoning at that time.
12: This para of Butte Creek Canyon is sparsely populated. The land
uses consist primarily of rural residential on, large lots and open
space. The granting o:� this variance for less td,"n
5 acre parcels
could stimulate a demand for housing on smaller parcels. This area.
is outside of the projected urban, area of the General Plan and is
designated as multiple -use open space.
