NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Butte County Board of Supervisors:
I. Finds the project is Statutorily Exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines
Section 15270(a}. This section states that the California Environmental Quality Act exempts
projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves.
li. Denies the appeal from lames Miller on the Planning Commission's September 24, 2009 denial
without prejudice of Tentative Parcel Map TPM09-0002, by making the following findings of
fact:
A. The project is inconsistent with future extension of Speedway Avenue. The parcel map
layout is not consistent with future connectivity of Speedway Avenue to Entler Avenue
as adopted by the Board of Supervisors and recorded on 154 M 41, note 12, sheet 4.
Right-of--way dedication for the extension of Speedway Avenue would be a condition of
approval.
B. Three of the proposed parcels on the tentative map, with the right-o£ way for the
Speedway Avenue extension, would not meet the minimum parcel size of the zone. Staff
requested a redesign of the project to show the right~of--way dedication and new lot layout
showing minimum parcel size and useable sewage disposal area. The applicant has
chosen not to redesign the project.
C. The Butte County Department of Public Works has deemed this project as incomplete
until the project is redesigned so as to show Speedway Avenue right-of--way and the right
angle connection of the project's access cul-de-sac. The applicant has requested this
project be taken forward to public hearing without providing the information requested,
thus leaving the Board of Supervisors unable to decide this application upon its merits.
DULY PASSED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of January, 2010, by the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Dolan, Kirk, Lambert, Yamaguchi, and Chair Connelly
NOES: None
