Stokes - Rezone and Tentative Parcel Map - consideration of a rezone from SR-1 (Suburban Residential - 1 acre parcels) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) on a 5.9 acre parcel, and a Tentative Parcel Map to divide the 5.9 acre parcel into three lots: one of 1.3 acres, one of 1.4 +/- acres, and one of 2.1 acres. The PUD zone is requested because a common leach field is required, and that necessitates a common ownership area. A 1.5 +/- acre common ownership area, located on Parcel 3, is proposed for open space for use by residents of the site and for the leach field area for Parcels 1 and 2. Domestic water supply would be obtained from individual on-site wells. Access to the proposed parcels would be via private driveways from Coyote Way. Only two new homes could be placed on the project site as a result of this project because Parcel 3 is already developed with a single-family dwelling. The Butte County Public Works Department requires that Coyote Way be widened from its existing 16-foot width to 20 feet in width (note: the applicant has requested an exception to the requirement to widen Coyote Way.) This is a project on which notice of intent to adopt a negative declaration with mitigation measures regarding environmental impacts has been given. The property is located at the end of Coyote Way, at 652 Coyote Way, approximately 0.4 miles from the intersection of Stilson Canyon Road and Coyote Way, east Chico area, and identified as APN 011-100-013 (SB [REZ 02-02/TPM 02-27]) - action requested - STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT BOARD TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: 1.
