NIZING ~XI3TING URBA?~ D~V~T~OPP~ENTS
WHE~AS, this Board received from the Butte County Planning
Commission, an amendment, a~.lowing recognition of existing urban
development, to the land use element of t~.e Butte Count;r General
P1an; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Govezn.ment Code §65355, hearings
have been held by the Board of Supervisoxs to consider ~he above
amendment; ;and
"i~HEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has reviewed and
considered and certified that the final ~nvironmental Impact Report
(attached hereto as Exhibit "A") prepared for tb.e above amendmenC,
was completed in complia.nce_ wi.th CEQ,A. o~ the State Environmental
Guidelines; and
WHE,REAS, notwithstanding rhe possible adverse environmental
effects whi.ch may result from adoption of the amendment to the land
use element, as described in the Environmen~al Impact Report pre-
pared thereon, th~.s Board finds thar rhe present General Plan L•and
Use Map ~ails to recognize existing uxban developments and serves
as a barrier to the logical development of these areas and that
~this amendment is the most expe.~ient method of permitting such
development to occur with resulting and social economic benefits;
this finding being based upon the information presented at the
hearing thereon be~oxe tbe Planning Commission and the Soard o~ :::
Supervisors and the research and studies on which the amendmext~ was
based.
NO~, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLV~D by::t~e Soard of Super-
visars ~of the County of Butte, State of California, that the land
use e~ement of the Butte County General P1an be amended to znclude
the fo~lowing:
The scope of urbanization in unincorporated
areas canno~ be effec~ively delineated on the
land~use map of ~he C~eneral Plan because of the
map scale and the wide dispersmen~ of ~he various
urban uses. As a resulr, numerous isoZa~ed
existing urban uses are not delineated on ~he lan~~
use map. In order to facilitate reasonable land-
use patterns consistent with the intent of the
General Plan; urban uses establishe~, which are not
shown on the land-use maps and urban uses proposed
which are contiguous to and surrounded by those
established urban uses shall be considered to be '
consistent with the land-use element. It is not
the intent of the Genera~ Plan to allow urban
development radiating from such existing urban uses.
Rather, it is the intent of the General P1an to
recognize existing urban ~and-use which is not
depicted on the land use map and to allow undeveloped
land contiguous to and surrounded by such urban
land-use to develop in a logical manner.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, pursuant to Government Code
~65359, the General P1an of the County of ~utte be endorsed eo show
that the above amendment has been approved by this Board.
BE IT FURTHER RESO~VED, pursuant ~o Government Code §$65360,
a copy of this resolution be transmitted to rhe City Council of the
ci~ies of Sutte County.

Tt is reassuring to know that T'more precise mapp~.ng'T is bezng pursued.
Hawever, it will be some tim~ before the maps are eompleted, a~.d the
proble~ result~ng from shor~comir3gs in the present map is imm,ediate
in its eff ec~s on currer~.`~ pro~ ec~s. By "~aore precise m.apping" we did
not intend to ~.m,ply that eve~ square inch woul.d be spec~.fica~.J.y de-
signated for particular uses, bu~ rath~r ~ha~ the g~ia.delin.es for

"surraunded by" in re~,a~ion ~to the in~ent o~ the am.endmen~?) As
poir~.~ed. out ~.n. th~ d~a~~ impact report, ~he amend_~ez~.t r~ay m.a3~e de-
velopments consis~era~ which other~rise do ~.ot fo~.~a~r logica~ grawth

until s~.pers~ded by a more precase u.p to da~e land use map which
incorpora~es a~d recognizes ~hose logi.cal and ~easonable growth areas
