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 Richard Cortese, Planning Division File No. TPM20-0009 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. The Zoning Administrator approves Tentative Parcel Map TPM20-0009 for Richard Cortese, 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 parcel sizes and widths and support single-family residential development, consistent with the purpose of and allowed uses in the VLDR zone (BCC sec. 24-18 F and sec. 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, 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. 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. Future single-family residential development would be 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 would be abandoned with the proposed map. F. The project site is not located within an earthquake fault zone. There is only one known active fault within Butte County and it is located approximately 6 miles to the southeast. 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 one or two residential dwellings would have a negligible effect on local or regional traffic. No such development is proposed at this time.
