Plan Requirements: The note shall be placed on a separate document which is to be
recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. This note shall also
be placed on all building and site development plans.
Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be adhered to throughout all grading and
construction periods.
Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services and the Public
Works Department shall ensure that the note is placed on a separate document which is to
be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. Building
inspectors shall spot check and shall ensure compliance on-site. Butte County Air
Pollution Control District inspectors shall respond to nuisance complaints.
2. Mitigation Measure #2:
Place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or
on an additional map sheet that states: “Prior to any development activity on proposed
lot 10 or the issuance of any permit or approval removing or encroaching upon oak trees
(this generally includes the canopy drip-line of trees within the area of ground
disturbance and trees subject to changes in hydrologic regime) an Oak Tree Mitigation
Plan prepared by a certified arborist, registered professional forester, botanist or
landscape architect shall be submitted for review and approval by the Director of
Development Services or his/her designee that includes:
1) A survey showing the location of oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at
breast height, as defined by PRC §21083.4(a);
2) The removal of all oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at breast height shall
be mitigated. It shall be mitigated by one or more of the following: replanting
and maintaining oak trees, establishing conservation easements, contributing
funds for off-site oak woodlands conservation, and/or other mitigation
measures developed by Butte County. Replanting of oak seedlings shall be
grown from acorns collected from a suitable seed zone and elevation and be
planted at a 3 to 1 ratio. It is recommended that the source of the seedlings be

February 25, 2016 Conditions of Approval – Sanford Manor Subdivision TSM13-0001 Page 3 of 8
secured a year from the proposed planting date. Replanted oak trees shall be
maintained for a period of seven years after they are planted. If any of the
replanted oak trees die or become diseased, they shall be replaced and
maintained for seven years after the new oak trees are planted;
3) A replanting schedule and diagram for trees removed or encroached upon by
permit activities consistent with PRC §21083.4(b)(2), applicable mitigation
measures, and Butte County Ordinance, if any, shall be submitted to and
approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her
designee. Replanted trees shall be planted in areas deemed appropriate by the
Plan, considering future lot development, interference with foundations,
fencing, roadways, driveways, and utilities. Trees planted shall be protected
from livestock and other animals.
4) Oak Tree protection measures for trees to be retained within the project site
shall be included in construction specifications. Each oak tree to be preserved
shall be surrounded by a tree zone identified by the drip line of the tree. An
orange plastic fence or other suitable type of fence shall be used to identify the
tree zone during construction activities. No vegetation removal, soil
disturbance, or other development activities shall occur within the tree zone in
order to protect root systems and minimize compaction of the soil, unless
authorized by Oak Tree Mitigation Plan; and
5) Conservation easements or funds for off-site oak woodlands conservation
shall be proposed to and approved by the Director of Development Services or
his/her designee.”
Plan Requirements: No vegetation removal, grading, road construction, or other
earthwork shall be permitted until the tree plan is submitted and approved.
Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be satisfied prior to any development
activity or the issuance of any grading, building, septic, or well permit, or the approval of
any improvement plans on the parcels.
Monitoring: At the time of septic, well, or building permit application, the Development
Services Department will reference this requirement on any grading, building, septic, or
well permit site plans and verify that an Oak Tree Mitigation Plan has been submitted to
and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. Butte County
building inspectors shall ensure compliance on-site.
3. Mitigation Measure #3:
Place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the Final
Map or on an additional map sheet that states: “Should grading activities reveal the
presence or prehistoric or historic cultural resources (i.e. artifact concentrations,
including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans glass, etc.; structural
remains; human skeletal remains) work within 50 feet of the find shall immediately cease
until a qualified professional archaeologist can be consulted to evaluate the find and
implement appropriate mitigation procedures. Should human skeletal remains be
encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner. Should
Butte County Department of Development Services
February 25, 2016 Conditions of Approval – Sanford Manor Subdivision TSM13-0001 Page 4 of 8
the County Coroner determine that the remains are in an archaeological context, the
Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately,
pursuant to State Law, to arrange for Native American participation in determining the
disposition of such remains.” The provisions of this note shall be followed during
construction of all subdivision improvements, including land clearing, road construction,
utility installation, and building site development.
Plan Requirements: This note shall be placed on a separate document which is to be
recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet and shall be shown on
all site development and building plans.
Timing: This measure shall be implemented during all site preparation and construction
activities.
Monitoring: The Department of Development Services and/or Public Works
Department shall ensure the note is placed on a separate document which is to be
recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. Should cultural
resources be discovered, the landowner shall notify the Planning Division and a
professional archaeologist. The Planning Division shall coordinate with the developer
and appropriate authorities to avoid damage to cultural resources and determine
appropriate action. State law requires the reporting of any human remains.
4. Mitigation Measure #4:
Place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or
on an additional map sheet that states: To the extent feasible, the developer shall
implement the following measures at the time of development to offset the anticipated
contribution of greenhouse gas emissions from residential development:
Support expansion of renewable energy systems
o Prewire all new residential development to support photovoltaic system
installation.
Support efficiency in vehicles and landscaping equipment
o Install electrical vehicle outlets on external walls or in garages in all new
residential development.
Improve fuel efficiency of equipment during construction-related activities
o Minimize idling time either by shutting equipment off when not in use or
reducing the time of idling to no more than 3 minute.
o Use clean or alternative fuel equipment
Plan Requirements: The note shall be placed on a separate document which is to be
recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. This note shall also be
placed on all building and site development plans.
Timing: Shall be implemented prior to issuance of building permits for residential
development. Construction-related measures shall be adhered to throughout all grading
and construction periods.

runoff leaving the property. If storm drainage facilities serve new public roads, the
developer must complete the formation of a county service area (CSA), zone of benefit
within a permanent road division (PRD), or other Department of Public Works approved
entity prior to recordation of the final map. The formation process will require the
developer to fund the service until the beginning of the first fiscal year in which service
charges can be collected and agree to an annual maximum service charge to ensure

water permit is required, place a note on an additional map sheet that states: “The
development of this final map required a construction storm water permit. Construction
activities that result in a land disturbance of less than one acre, but which are part of a
larger common plan of development, also require a permit. Development of individual
lots may require an additional permit(s).”
