Project Description and Site Characteristics
•Heidi Lundberg has submitted an application to Butte County for a Lot Line Adjustment (Planning
File # PROJ-25-0026) regarding three (3) parcels for APNs 038-250-026, -022, and -043.
APN Acres Before LLA Resultant
Parcel
Acres After LLA
038-250-022 +/- .36 Lot 1 +/- 2.66
038-250-043 +/- 36.27 Lot 2 +/- 2.05
038-250-026 +/- 12.73 Lot 3 +/- 44.65
•The parcels are located on the south side of East Biggs Road approximately 12,115 feet east of City
of Biggs. The Butte County Public Works Department verified that all three lots were properly created.
•Surrounding parcels are zoned Agriculture (AG-80) which has an 80-acre minimum for the creation
of new lots. The surrounding areas largely consist of agriculture and residential uses.
•APN 038-250-022 is developed with a residence addressed as 1594 Nelson-Shippe Rd., Durham CA
95965.
•APN 038-250-043 is developed with a residence addressed as 1566 Nelson-Shippe Rd., Durham CA
9596, a shop, a barn, and is used for rice production.
•APN 038-250-026 is developed and used for rice production.

APN Zoning Parcel Minimums
038-250-022 AG-80 80 acres
038-250-043 AG-80 80 acres
038-250-026 AG-80 80 acres
Analysis
•The project would not result in the creation of any new parcels.The proposed lot line adjustment will
reconfigure the three lots in way that reduces APN 038-250-043 further below the 80 acreage minimum from
36.27 acres to 2.05 acres. Consequentlly, Zoning Ordinance (Hereinafter ZO) Section 24-302 applies and
requires at least one of three exceptions to apply in order for the proposal to be approvable.
o Pursuant to ZO §24-302(3) , the proposal would improve design of the existing lots without altering
existing land uses by. . . .
Combining all rice fields into one parcel for agriculture use on APN 038-250-026; and
Increasing the usability of APN 038-250-022 by increasing its size.
•The project will maintain compliance with Zoning development standards as applicable to each 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 exemptionincludes minor alterations in land use limitations with an average slope of 20 percent where the project wouldnot result in any changes in land use or density, including minor lot line adjustments that do not result in thecreation of any new parcels.
•Factual Reasoning & Analysis.
o 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. All three parcles have less
than 1%average slope.
o 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:
I.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.
II.Approve the Lot Line Adjustment for Lot Line Adjustment Application PROJ-25-0026, subject to the
Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A.
