The purpose of the planning strategy is to facilitate the protection and preservation of the historical and ecological foundation of Butte Creek Canyon, including the survival of salmon, steelhead and other sensitive plants and animals such as the East Tehama Deer Herd, preservation of historical sites and ecological preserves, and the optimum balance of recreation and residential use"; and WHEREAS, the County has determined that the proposed amendment adding the Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone to the Z o n i n g Ord i n a n c e does not meet the criteria for preparing a subsequent or supplemental EIR. under CEQA Guidelines Section 151.62; and WHEREAS, an Addendum to the General Elan 2030 FOR and Supplemental FEIR has therefore been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15,164 for the proposed Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone amendment; and WHEREAS, the Butte County Planning Commission recommended to the Board of Supervisors the approval of the EIR Addendum for the Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone amendment in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) at a public hearing held on November 9, 2017; and WHEREAS, the Addendum provides analysis and cites substantial evidence that supports the County's determination that the proposed Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone amendment does not meet the criteria for preparing a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines section 15162 including: 1) The proposed Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone amendment would not cause a neva significant impact or substantially increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact from the General Plan EIR or Supplemental EIR (CEQA Guidelines section 15162[a][1]) that would require major revisions to either EIR. All impacts would be nearly equivalent to the impacts previously analyzed in the General Plan 2030 EIR and Supplemental EIR. Relatedly, the General Plan 2030 and Zoning Ordinance amendment is not inconsistent with any of the General Plan 2030 policies intended to mitigate environmental impacts. 2) The proposed Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone amendment is programmatic in nature and are not changes in physical circumstances that would cause a new significant impact or substantially increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact, and there have been no other changes in the circumstances that meet this criterion. 3) As documented in Section 3.0 of the Addendum, there is no new information of substantial importance (which was not known or could not have been known at the time of the General Plan 2030 adoption in October 2010, or General Plan 2030 amendment and Zoning Ordinance adoption in November 2012), that identifies: a new significant impact (condition "A" under CEQA Guidelines section 15162[a][3]); a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact (condition "B" CEQA Guidelines section 15162[a][3]); mitigation measures or alternatives previously found infeasible that would now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the General Plan; or mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the General) Plan 2030 EIR which would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment (conditions "C" and "d" CEQA Guidelines section 15162[a][3)). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors hereby approves the EIR Addendum for the General Plan 2030 FEIR and Supplemental FEIR prepared for the Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone amendment.
