5.05 2:45 PM — Public Hearing - Introduction and Adoption of an Interim Urgency Ordinance
Establishing a Temporary Moratorium on the Issuance of Building Permits for New and Expanded
Structures and Land Use Approval within the North Chico Area - Drainage problems and concerns
in the area known as the Keefer Slough and Rock Creek Drainage Basin have been the subject of
many discussions and studies over the past 40 plus years. This area is north and east of the City
of Chico, and has been developed in bits and pieces over time. Floods of varying degrees have
occurred in the area in 1995, 1997, 1998, 2006, 2012, 2017, and most recently in 2019. The
proposed interim urgency ordinance is intended to halt further development until such time as
the County has the ability to complete an updated flood study and develop revised regulations
for development within the North Chico Area, and allows additional time for State and federal
Agencies to complete the development of new Flood Risk maps for the area that will better
define the areas subject to flooding. The proposed interim urgency ordinance would take effect
immediately upon passage. The ordinance shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from
its date of adoption, unless extended by the Board of Supervisors prior to the 45 day expiration.
After notice pursuant to Section 65090 and a public hearing, the Board of Supervisors may
extend the interim ordinance for 10 months and 15 days and then may extend the ordinance for
one additional year. Any extension shall also require a four-fifths vote for adoption and no more
than two extensions may be adopted. The Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of
Section 15378 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and is
categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines — action requested
- 1) FIND PURSUANT TO SECTION 15308 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY
THAT ADOPTION OF THE INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE
EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT; AND 2) ADOPT THE INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (County Counsel / Public Works)
