Project Description and Site Characteristics
Town Surveys Inc. has submitted an application to Butte County for a Lot Line Adjustment (Planning File #LLA25-0009) regarding three (3) parcels for APNs 058-300-013, 058-230-038, and

The parcels are located on the east side of Concow Road and north side of Ishi Trail approximately 16,587 feet east of Town of Paradise. The Butte County Public Works Department verified
that all three lots were properly created.
Surrounding parcels are zoned Foothill Residential (FR-5 and FR-10) and Public (P). The surrounding areas largely consist of residential uses and public use by the Butte County Volunteer
Fire Station No. 38.
APN 058-300-013 falls under General Plan land use designation Retail and Community Commercial (C-C) zoning. APN 058-300-013 has an existing home, barn, shop, two septic systems and three
wells.. Lots in the C-C zone must maintain a 10,000 square foot parcel area minimum.
APN 058-230-038 falls under General Plan land use designation Foothill Residential and Foothill Residential-5 acre minimum (FR-5) zoning. APN 058-230-038 has an existing home, and septic
system. . Lots in this zone must maintain a 5 acre parcel area minimum.
APN 058-360-098 falls under General Plan land use designation Foothill Residential and Foothill Residential-10 acre minimum (FR-10) zoning. APN 058-300-013 has an existing home, barn,
septic system and well. Lots in this zone must maintain a 10 acre parcel area minimum.

Analysis
The project would not result in the creation of any new parcels.
The proposed lot line adjustment will reconfigure the three lots minimum acreages and bring APN 058-230-038 into compliance with the applicable FR-5 zone 5 acre parcel minimum.
The project will maintain compliance with Zoning development standards as applicable to resultant lot respectively.
CEQA Issues
Applicable Rule: Categorical Exemption. This project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15305(a) of the CEQA Guidelines
(Class 5). This exemption includes minor alterations in land use limitations with an average slope of 20 percent where the project would 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.
Factual Reasoning & Analysis.
Minor Alteration: The proposed lot line adjustment is a minute reconfiguration of the property lines for the three lots each of which has an average slope less than 20 percent. APN 058-300-013
has an average 8.75% slope, APN 058-230-038 has an average 7.5% slope and APN 058-360-098 has an average 9.76% slope.
No change in use, density, or parcel creation: The resultant parcels would remain under the same zoning designations with the same existing uses continuing to occur on each, without
affecting a change in use or density. Lastly, the project would not result in the creation of any new parcels.
ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION:
Staff recommends that the Director of Development Services take the following action:
Find that the project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15305(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Class 5 exception 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 but not limited to minor lot line adjustments,
side yard, and setback variances not resulting in the creation of any new parcel.
