Dear Board of Supervisors;
I am a resident of the county, my zip code identifies me in Paradise. I am a Camp Fire
survivor. The Tuscan Ridge Planned Development Rezone raises many concerns.
The Tuscan Ridge Planned Development Rezone (PUD21-0001), with
ensuing Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM21-0002), and Minor Use Permit
(MUP21-0002) is poorly thought out, and in violation of code and common
sense considerations.
There is the violation of the scenic code as set forth in Chapter 10 of the Butte
County General Plan, Section C, article c:“Scenic Highway (-SH) Zoning -The
Butte County Zoning Ordinance uses the Scenic Highway Overlay Zone (-SH) to
establish standards to preserve the natural aesthetic qualities of areas visible
from roadways designated as scenic highways by the State of California or the
Butte County Board of Supervisors. This includes: the Skyway with its expansive
views of the Northern Sacramento Valley and Coast Range”.
We are a county that has endured several wild fires. We can not afford to rubber stamp
development. We need to consider the risks posed by the changing climate.
The LAO (Legislative Analysis Office) proposes serious considerations in their Impact
Report. The CWPP (Community Wildfire Protection Plan) this involves whole community,
federal,state,tribal and county partners coming together to increase safety and protect houses,
businesses,and environments . The plan has pertinent and relevant information. Best put by the
California Environmental Quality Act : Bringing more people near flammable wild land leads
to more frequent, intense, destructive, costly and dangerous wildfires. These analyses, plans
and Acts provide insight and foresight for future development. Do not overlook these sign
posts of information.
I respectfully request that you vote No the Tuscan Ridge Planned Development. The proposal
is blind to drought, wildfire, greenhouse gas emissions and the potential cumulative and
negative impacts on the community.
Thank you
