Home My WebLink AboutPRED21-0001_Meeting NotesPRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING PRED21-0001 February 17, 2021 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM via Skype Enterprise Rancheria APN: 079-150-001 Enterprise Rancheria and applicant Blu Nelson are proposing 12 stick built homes, each 1,360 square feet to be constructed on the 63.66-acre property currently zoned Rural Residential 5-acre minimums with a General Plan designation of RR. The property has two unnamed waterways (blue-lined streams) – one along the western side running north-south, the other bisecting the parcel with a confluence of the streams located in the lower third of the property. The property is undeveloped without an address, and has Oak Woodland habitat throughout. The proposed access is via Crane Avenue from the east and potentially punching through two PG&E parcels (zoned Resource Conservation and Rural Residential, respectively) to the west and crossing one of the blue lined streams to connect with the stub out and continuation of Crane Avenue in the Copely Acres Unit #3 Phase 2 subdivision. Project is located within the LOAPUD and SFWP districts and is proposed to be connected to sewer and water. Departments Comments Planning Division Land Use, Zoning, & Permitting • PD General Plan Amendment and Rezone, subject to Section 24-32 planned development zone requirements of the Butte County Code (Code), and a Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment subject to Article VI. Division 4. Zoning Ordinance Amendments of the Code, to allow for the specific land uses and Development Plan proposed under the Project. • PD rezoning requirements are needed to be met in order to evaluate the proposal prior to PD submittal. • Tentative Subdivision to be required as part of the PD as indicated by the draft site plan. • Riparian buffer regulations apply to any structure(s) built within 50’ of the top of bank for a blue line stream, an approved Minor Use Permit is required. • We anticipate Archeological, Biological, and potentially Traffic studies to be conducted as part of the environmental review of the project. • CEQA will evaluate the whole parcel, and any phases, as proposed to the Planned Development land use entitlement. • We don’t want to go through CEQA review more than once, what are the phases, if any? • Settled on 12 units on the northern area. For additional information regarding these requirements, please contact: Tristan Weems, Associate Planner at 530. 552.3685 / tweems@buttecounty.net Public Works • Concerns with access, both west side and east side Crane Ave, not connected on the property. Crane Avenue on the east side stops short but does not connect to the property. • On the west side PG&E owns two parcels. • On the draft plans, Crane is shown to connect to the west. • Some potential challenges on the western side, lots owned by PG&E • Mark M. Easements to the west are in place for the tribe to cross that land. There are easements to that side. • On the east side Crane Ave. stops short. • According to Mark, there is dedicated 40’ access/road to the east. • Public portion of Crane needs to be addressed to punch through. • Preliminary water drainage needs to be addressed. • Tentative Map application guide stipulates needed details (contours, topography, etc.) • Assumed public road subdivision, Public Permanent Road division. Any new dedicated roads in the County require a PRD. • Maintenance of the road will have to be addressed. • Ensure that the instrument we ultimately approve with this development there will need to be some conditioning that speaks to road maintenance. • East side section of Crane does not show it is public. • Resolution of the east side of Crane needs to occur as the project moves forward. • Engage County Surveyor Bill Bridgnell on the nature of the dedication (Radley) – applicant representative will contact Bill Bridgnell. This is a fundamental piece to move forward with application (Dan). • No access strip on west side (1’) talk with Bill Bridgnell about this too. • Bridge? Not proposing a bridge, proposing culverts. Consider some kind of clogging factor on the up hill side for the pipe anywhere form 50-75%.
