ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION:
Staff recommends that the Director of Development Services take the following action:
I. Find that the project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15305 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Class 5 exemption consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density, including minor lot line adjustments that do not result in the creation of any new parcels. Because the project is exempt from
the provisions of CEQA, the payment of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section
711.4 and 14 CCR 753.5 is not required.
II. Approve the Merger (MER23-0003) for William and Loraine Hambleton APNs 059-097-003, 059-097-004 and 059-097-016, subject to the following findings:
A. The proposed Merger is consistent with the requirements of Butte County Code Section 20-180.3.
B. The subject parcels are legally established lots, created in conformance with Butte County Ordinance and the California Subdivision Map Act.
APPEALS:
Any interested person may appeal the decision of the Director of Development Services by
filing a notice of appeal with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors within 10 calendar days as
provided in Sections 20-180.3 (h) and 20-66 of Butte County Code. A notice of appeal must
be accompanied by the appeal fee specified in Section 3-43 of Butte County Code.
