Document Description
The project includes two main components:
1. A General Plan Amendment and Rezone (GPA/RZ 24-02) to remove the Bell-Muir Special Planning Area (SPA) designation and requirements identified in the 2030 Chico General Plan. The GPA/RZ would change the City’s Land Use Designation of “Special Planning Area” to “Low Density Residential,” change the City’s pre-zoning of “SPA” to “R1” (Low Density Residential), and amend General Plan text that refers to the Bell-Muir SPA. The existing commercial Designation and zoning for APN 042-050-082 would not change.
2. A Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (SUB 24-01) and Annexation (ANX 24-01) of APNs: 042-020-009 and 042-020-105, located at 1124 Henshaw Avenue and 2870 Nord Avenue, within the Bell-Muir SPA, just outside of the city limits of Chico in unincorporated Butte County, California. The proposed subdivision would divide 20 acres into 68 individual single-family residential lots and a parcel dedicated to stormwater retention. The annexation is a request that the City Council adopt a resolution directing staff to initiate annexation proceedings for the subdivision area.
