MEMORANDUM
July 17, 2025
• Parcel 1 is developed with one single-family residence. Parcel 2 is developed with two
single-family residences.
• On-site wastewater disposal systems provide sewage disposal for both parcels. Cal-
Water provides public domestic water service for both parcels.
Analysis
• The project would not result in the creation of any new parcels.
• The subject parcels were created in their current configuration by parcel map (recorded in
Book 44, page 20 on September 25, 1972).
• Parcel 2 conforms to the one-acre minimum parcel size standard for the VLDR zone. Parcel
1 does not conform to the VLDR zone. Parcel 1 would result in an increase of the parcel
size, bringing the parcel closer to conformance with the proposed adjustment.
• The Land Development Division of Public Works, Environmental Health Division of Public
Health, and CAL FIRE/Butte County Fire Department reviewed the project. None objected
to the proposed project, subject to the conditions outlined in Exhibit A below.

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 but not limited to minor lot line
adjustments, side yard, and setback variances not resulting in the creation of any new parcel.
