Document Description
The project includes two main components:
1. A General Plan Amendment and rezone of a 20-acre site comprising three parcels (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs): 042-070-196, 042-070-197, and 042-740-020), located within unincorporated Butte County, California, and annexation of the site into the city limits of the City of Chico. The Masonic Family Center located at 1110 W. East Avenue would be zoned PQ (Public/Quasi Public Facilities), reflecting a continuation of the existing use, and the two former walnut orchard parcels would become zoned R1 (Low Density Residential), consistent with the proposed subdivision.
2. A subdivision of 15-acres (APNs 042-070-196 and 042-740-020) to create and improve 74 lots with internal streets developed consistently with City standards. Four of the five existing residences would be retained within the proposed subdivision and most of the existing trees would be removed to accommodate the subdivision improvements.
