ATTACHMENT A: ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DETERMINATION WITH CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL BUTTE COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DECISION ZDN22-0009 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP TPM22-0002 (Robert and Monica Seaman) The project proposes to divide a 2.32-acre parcel, in the VLDR (Very Low Density Residential – 1.0-acre minimum) zone and VLDR (Very Low Density Residential) General Plan designation, into two lots (1.10 and 1.22 acres each). The project will result in the creation of one net new parcel. The parent parcel is zoned Very Low Density Residential (VLDR 1.0 acre minimum) and located in the North Chico Specific Plan at the situs address of 4109 Rio Bravo Drive. APN 047-780-029 April 6, 2022 I. The Zoning Administrator has considered the 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. Upon review of the site using the California Natural Diversity Database none fell within any identified range or area of sensitive species or habitats. The parent parcel is not within a deer herd migration overlay, scenic resource, scenic highway overlay, City of Chico Sphere of Influence, nor is it located within Agricultural Land. The site has been disturbed and does not contain any cultural resources, nor is it near or adjacent to a creek or waterway, it does not contain oak woodlands, has been previously developed, and is flat. The parent parcel is not located within the Watershed Protection Overlay zone, nor is it near any identified fault lines, there is a very low risk of landslide and erosion hazard potential. The parent parcel is located in FEMA flood zone “X” or undefined/unshaded/not applicable. B. On the basis of the whole record before the Zoning Administrator, there is no substantial evidence that the Tentative Parcel Map for Robert and Monica Seaman, Planning Division File No. TPM22-0002 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 TPM22-0002 for Robert and Monica Seaman, 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 1.0 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, 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. 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. There is only one known active fault within Butte County and it is located approximately 20 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 residential dwelling would have a negligible effect on local or regional traffic.
