5.01 9:30 am —Amendments to Butte County Master Fee Schedule -The last comprehensive review
and update of all County user fees was completed in 2008.Typically,these studies are completed
every five years to reflect the impact of inflation, and other cost increases and changes to service
structure for providing County services. Due to the impacts of the Great Recession, the majority
of the County's fees have remained unchanged since the last update was completed. Beginning
in early 2016, the County and MGT Consulting Group (MGT) initiated a comprehensive review
and update to the County's user fees. The purpose of conducting a user fee study is to identify
the full cost to provide fee related services and recommend recovery levels for each fee. User
fees are charged for services or products that individuals or businesses receive a benefit as a
result. Proposed changes to fees are required to be noticed and presented at a public hearing.
During the public hearing, the Board will consider amending the Master Fee Schedule by either
adding, increasing, reducing, revising and/or deleting fees for services provided by the County.
Departments affected by the proposed fee amendments include: Agriculture, Assessor, County
Administration, County Clerk-Recorder, Countywide Fees, Development Services, District
Attorney, Fire, Information Systems, Library, Probation, Public Health, Public Works, Sheriff-
Coroner,and Treasurer-Tax Collector.Amendments will be implemented by adopting resolutions
amending the Master Fee Schedule. If adopted, the new non-land use fees will be effective
August 1,2017,and the new land-use fees will be effective September 1, 2017—action requested

5.02 11:00 am—Appeal of Planning Commission's Denial of Tentative Subdivision Map-An appeal to
the Planning Commission's denial of Tentative Subdivision Map TSM16-0002 at a public hearing
on March 23, 2017 was filed by the project applicant.TSM16-0002 proposes to divide two parcels
totaling ±18.5-acres into 15 lots of one acre or larger on the south side of Stanley Avenue, east
of Dayton Road in the VLDR — 1.0 (Very Low Density Residential, 1-acre minimum) zone. The
project includes the following requests: 1)A reduction in the 300-foot agricultural buffer setback
to 150 feet pursuant to Butte County Code §24-84 (Exceptions to Agricultural Buffer Setback)
along the southern boundary of APN 039-090-061 (lots 6—15).The Department of Development
Services recommends the 150-foot Agricultural Buffer as presented to the Planning Commission
consistent with Butte County Code Section 24-84. 2) A determination for a residential setback
pursuant to Butte County Code§24-56.1(Residential Setback from Orchards and Vineyards)from
the adjacent active orchard to the north (APN 039-390-085). The Department of Development
Services, in consultation with the Agricultural Commissioner's Office, recommended an 80-foot
setback, or 50-foot with a vegetation screen. In its decision, the Planning Commission found the
layout of the orchard and the farming practices used on the agriculturally zoned parcel to the
south would impact residential development occurring less than 300 feet from the properly line
which could result in a modification of existing agricultural practices and that the shape of the
project parcel did not give rise to unusual circumstances — action requested - ADOPT
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION,GRANTING THE APPEAL,AND
APPROVING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP TSM16-0002 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
