PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Direction General Plan Designation Zoning Existing Land Use(s)
North Very Low Density Residential VLDR Residential
South Very Low Density Residential VLDR Residential
East Very Low Density Residential VLDR Residential
West Very Low Density Residential VLDR Residential
• 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).
• The project parcel fronts on Rio Bravo Drive, a publicly maintained paved road. The parcel frontage is unimproved without curb, gutter, or sidewalk.
• Future residences will be served by onsite well and septic systems.
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
• The project parcel is developed and contains two residences a shop and barn totaling approximately 10,600 square feet.
• The topography of the project area is flat, at an elevation 200 feet above sea level.
• The surrounding neighborhood consists of approximately ½ - 1 acre developed parcels zoned VLDR.
• There are no waterways on or adjacent to the project site.
• According to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain mapping of the project area, the parcel is located within the X (unshaded) Flood Zone. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and higher
than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded). (https://www.fema.gov/flood-zones)
• The site is located in the “B2” Chico Municipal Airport Compatibility Zone.
ANALYSIS:
• On April 21, 2021 the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission found that the project was compatible with the “B2” Chico Airport Compatibility Zone per Section 3.8 Exceptions to Land Use Criteria, 3.8.2 Site-Specific Special Conditions, with the required findings and conditions (included in Attachment D).
• The sizes of the proposed parcels are consistent with the VLDR (Very Low Density
Residential, 1.0 acre minimum) zone.

April 6, 2022 Agenda Report – Robert R. and Monica R. Seaman TPM22-0002 Page 3 of 20
• The project’s environmental impact has been analyzed and determined to be less than
significant, with a recommendation for a CEQA Exemption (common sense).
• The site visit conducted on February 16, 2022 revealed lack of street improvements along Rio Bravo, the boarding of a horse (associated with the barn), and a nearly complete Accessory Dwelling.
• Consistency findings have been made for this project by the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). In finding the project consistent with the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, ALUC included conditions of approval, which are included in Exhibit A.
Consistency of Project with General Plan Goals and Policy:

Butte County Department of Development Services
April 6, 2022 Agenda Report – Robert R. and Monica R. Seaman TPM22-0002 Page 9 of 20
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.
Staff finds 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.
Staff therefore finds with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have
a significant effect on the environment, and is not subject to CEQA.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Seaman: The Butte County Airport Land Use Commission (BCALUC) held the consistency review of your proposed two-lot parcel map on April 21, 2021. While the project would normally be determined inconsistent with the density of the B2 Compatibility Zone, the BCALUC found the project compatible/acceptable, per Section 3.8 Exceptions to Land Use Criteria, 3.8.2 Site-Specific Special Conditions, with the required findings.
Please see attached conditions that will included as part of the tentative parcel map. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 552-3683, between
8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by email at mmichelena@buttecounty.net. Sincerely,
Mark Michelena Senior Planner
