Actions for Consideration
Staff recommends that the Director of Development Services take the following action:

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.
II. Approve Merger (MER23-0012) for Craig Johnson APN 035-226-005 & -006 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 the
Butte County Subdivision Ordinance and 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 ten (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 the Butte County Code.
