I. This is a County initiated application.
II. The Zoning Administrator has considered Section 15061 (b) (3) Common Sense
Categorical Exemption in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and adopts the Categorical 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 Kristine M. Busse-Dohm,
Planning Division File No. TPM23-0008 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.
III. Approves Tentative Parcel Map TPM23-0008 for Kristine M. Busse-Dohm, 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-

development, consistent with purpose and allowed uses in the VLDR zone (BCC Section

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) and SR-1(1.0-acre minimum) zones. Existing and
proposed single-family residences are consistent with the primary allowed land uses in
the VLDR and SR-1 zones.
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 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 28 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.
