WHEREAS, Butte County Development Services staff has identified a General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map Amendment known as the Table Mountain Boulevard Parcels Amendment, and that this amendment has been identified as a necessary correction to the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map, and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on December 12, 2019, and recommended six of the seven requested parcels by excluding Assessor's Parcel Number 031-0101-068 because the property owner of that parcel requested that the property remain General Commercial; and, the Board of Supervisors held a duly noticed public hearing on January 14, 2020; and, WHEREAS, the Butte County Board of Supervisors has reviewed and considered the information in the General Plan EIR and FSEIR described above, General Plan and FSEIR administrative record, staff reports, and all oral and written testimony presented to the Board of Supervisors in its approval in 2012; and WHEREAS, the County has determined that the proposed amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map and Z o n i ng M a p do not meet the criteria for preparing a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162; and, WHEREAS, an Addendum to the General Plan EIR and Supplemental EIR has therefore been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 for the proposed General Plan Land Use Map amendment and Zoning Map Amendment; and WHEREAS, the Addendum provides analysis and cites substantial evidence that supports the County's determination that the proposed amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map do not meet the criteria for preparing a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 including: 1) The proposed General Plan Land Use Map amendment and Zoning Map Amendment would not cause a new 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][11) that would require major revisions to either EIR. All impacts would be nearly equivalent to the impacts previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR and Supplemental EIR. Relatedly, the General Plan Land Use Map amendment and Zoning Map Amendment are not inconsistent with any of the General Plan policies intended to mitigate environmental impacts. 2) The proposed General Plan Land Use Map Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment would not 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 adoption in October 2010, or General Plan Amendment and Zoning Ordinance adoption in November 2012), that identifies: a new significant impact (condition "A" under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[a][31); 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 EIR which would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment (conditions "C" and "D" CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[a][31).
