The project parcel contains a primary residence, accessory residence, garage, ground-mount solar array and shed. The project parcel fronts Nord Avenue, a publicly maintained paved road. The parcel frontage is unimproved without curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Future residences will be served by onsite well and septic systems. APN 042-020-098 April 14, 2021 I.The Zoning Administrator has considered Section 15061 (b) (3) Common Sense Exemption in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and adopts the Exemption with the following findings: A.Section 15061 (b) (3) applies to projects which can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. B.On the basis of the whole record before the Zoning Administrator, there is no substantial evidence that the Tentative Parcel Map for Troy Keenan, Planning Division File No. TPM20-0001 would have a significant effect on the environment. C.The custodian of the record is the Department of Public Works. The location of the record is 7 County Center Drive, Oroville CA 95965. II.Approves Tentative Parcel Map TPM20-0001 for Troy Keenan, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit “A” and the following findings: A.The proposed map is consistent with the VLDR (Very Low Density Residential, 1.0- acre minimum) zone. Proposed lots meet minimum parcels sizes and will support single-family residential development, consistent with purpose and allowed uses in the VLDR zone (BCC §24- 18E and §24-19). B.The project is substantially consistent with applicable Goals and Policies of the Butte County General Plan based on the consistency review in the staff report. In addition, Butte County Department of Development Services   April 14, 2021  Agenda Report – Troy Keenan TPM20-0001  Page 2 of 8  there is no substantial evidence in the whole record to support any of the findings in Government Code Section 66474 requiring denial of the tentative parcel map. C.The design and improvements of the proposed parcel map are consistent with County standards and policies provided all conditions of project approval are met. Comments/conditions received from Butte County Departments and other Agencies were reviewed and incorporated into the project analysis and proposed project conditions. Design and improvements of the Proposed Parcel Map are consistent with County standards and policies. Conditions to meet City of Chico standards shall be placed as a condition for all future infrastructure and utilities. D.The project site is physically suitable for the use and density of the proposed development. The proposed parcel sizes are consistent with the minimum parcel size requirement of the VLDR (1.0-acre minimum) zone. Existing and proposed single-family residences are consistent with the primary allowed land uses in the VLDR zone. E.The design and improvements of the project will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed parcel map provided the attached conditions are met. No easements will be abandoned with the proposed TPM. F.The project site is not located within an earthquake fault zone. As noted in the initial study for the project, there is only one known active fault within Butte County and it is located approximately 20 miles to the east. G.Approval of this project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare provided the required conditions and mitigation measures are complied with. No adverse or detrimental effects to the environment or public health, safety, and welfare have been identified as resulting from the project, from agency and departmental review, or from staff analysis. H.The roads in the project area have the capacity to handle the increase in vehicular traffic generated by the project. The addition of four residential dwellings would have a negligible effect on local or regional traffic.
