The application has been reviewed by County agencies to determine if the application is complete and contains the requisite information to process your request. Upon review, the application has been deemed to be incomplete at this time. Specifically, the following additional information and revisions are required before the application may be deemed complete: 1. Agricultural Buffer. Article 17 of the Butte County Zoning Ordinance requires a 300-feet buffer between lands zoned agriculture and new residential development. This ordinance applies to the creation of new parcels where residential structures are to be developed in the following areas of the county: (1) all lands zoned Agriculture; (2) in other zones within 300 feet of the boundary of Agriculture zones; (3) areas inside and within 300 feet of sphere of influence boundaries for incorporated cities, where the boundary abuts parcels zoned Agriculture; and, (4) areas within 300 feet of a Williamson Act Contract. The Butte County Agricultural Commissioner has reviewed your application and noted the existence of a production orchard on the west side of proposed Parcel 2, and is recommending the creation of a 300 feet buffer from the adjacent orchard. The 300 feet agricultural buffer must be noted on the Tentative Parcel Map, and will be required to be delineated on the recorded Parcel Map. Exceptions to the 300-feet agricultural buffer requirement may be requested by the project applicant through the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office by applying for an Unusual Circumstances Review. 2. Biological Resource Assessment. The project site is located in an area that appears to include wetland habitat, which is a sensitive habitat type that may contain State and Federal designated special-status species, including endangered and threatened species. To determine if your project may result in significant impacts to special-status species, or to their habitat, a qualified biologist must perform a survey of the project site, to the satisfaction of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and United States Department of Fish and Wildlife. The presence of water resources deemed ‘Waters of the United States’, including wetland resources, must be verified by the Army Corps of Engineers, and delineated on the Tentative Parcel Map. If resources appear to be impacted by the project through future development of the parcel (i.e. homesites, driveways, roads, etc.), measures to offset potential impacts must be recommended by the biologist. Please provide me with a copy of the preliminary wetlands delineation and any measures recommended by the biologist when available. 3. Archeological Survey. The Northeast Center of California Historical Resources Information Center reviewed the project area for existence of recorded historic, prehistoric, and cultural sites. Based upon their review of available information, as well as the project area’s past significance with Konkow Maidu populations, and more recent use of the area by Euro-Americans, the site is considered to be sensitive for prehistoric, protohistoric and historic cultural resources. To determine that the proposed project will not have a significant impact on potential archeological sites in the project site, it is recommended that a professional archaeologist conduct a cultural resources survey of the entire project site. 4. Soil Suitability and Water Adequacy Evaluations. Please contact the Butte County Environmental Health Division to initiate a soil suitability and water adequacy evaluation for each proposed parcel. Once completed, resubmittal of your application must include an Environmental Health Letter that supports subdivision of the property and includes any recommended conditions of approval. The Environmental Health Division can be contacted at 530.538.7581. Butte County Public Works Recommendations. Enclosed are the recommended conditions of approval from the Public Works Department. Please review these conditions to determine if you are able to meet these requirements. The reviewing authority (i.e. Planning Commission) may consider an exception or modification to any improvement standards. A request for exception or modification must be filed in writing within 10 days of the date of this letter and fully state the ground or facts to support the request, and include any possible alternative designs for the County to consider. For the reviewing authority to grant the request, there must be special circumstances pertaining to the property such as, condition, topography, size, shape or location that prevents an applicant from meeting these standards. Further, the granting of the exception must not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other properties located within the surrounding zoning districts.
