Page 20 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA - DECEMBER 8, 2020 5.02 10:10 AM — Public Hearing — Application for General Plan Amendment 1 and Rezone from Jatinder Kullar — The applicant requests a General Plan Amendment (GPA20-0002) from an Industrial (1) to a Commercial (C) General Plan designation, and a Rezone (REZ20-0001) from a Heavy Industrial (HI) to a General Commercial (GC) zone on a 1.79 -acre parcel (Assessor Parcel Number 021-170-052) located at the southwestern corner of the West Liberty Road/State Route 99 signalized intersection south of the City of Gridley. There is no commercial development proposal associated with the project at this time. The Planning Commission considered this item at a public hearing held on October 22, 2020, and recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment and Rezone to the Board of Supervisors on a 5-0 vote. This amendment would be the third General Plan Amendment in the 2020 calendar year, and its approval would not exceed the four total amendments allowed under Government Code section 65358 (b). The Department recommends continuing the hearing to the January 12, 2021 Board of Supervisors Meeting — action requested — OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONTINUE THE ITEM TO THE JANUARY 12, 2021 BOARD MEETING AT 10:OOAM. (Development Services) 5.03 10:30 AM — Timed Item — Introduction of an Ordinance for a County Initiated Amendment to Butte County Code Chapter 13 Entitled Grading and Mining to Allow an Exemption for Filling of Soil into Previously Excavated Land after Removal of a Building Destroyed by Fire— Butte County Code Chapter 13 Grading and Mining requires a grading permit and environmental review for filling of soil that exceeds 50 cubic yards unless there is an exemption. Property owners whose structures are destroyed by a fire are required to remove ash and debris which may leave an excavated area. Filling an excavated area with soil that was created by removal of a building is desirable and does not typically create environmental impacts, but it is not currently considered exempt by Chapter 13 unless approved through a grading permit or approved in conjunction with a building permit. Many property owners desire to fill the excavated area before obtaining a building permit. California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 15304 considers filling of soil into previously excavated land with material compatible with the natural features of the site a minor alteration that is categorically exempt from CEQA. The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 13 to allow property owners to fill in the excavation left by the removal of a building without applying for a grading or building permit. Property owners must properly document compaction at the time of future building permit issuance in accordance with current building codes. The proposed ordinance also adds the requirement in Section 13-6 that a "Certified Storm Water Developer" prepare and sign erosion and sediment control plans because they are similarly qualified to produce the required plans. A licensed civil engineer is still required to prepare and sign engineering plans, specifications, and soils engineering report. A licensed civil engineer may also prepare erosion and sediment control plans if they hold certification for storm water development. The proposed ordinance also removes an outdated and unnecessary reference for the year 2007 as it applies to California Building Code — action requested — WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF BUTTE AMENDING ARTICLE I, ENTITLED "GRADING" OF CHAPTER 13, ENTITLED "GRADING AND MINING" OF THE BUTTE COUNTY CODE."
