Present Land Use
The project parcels are bordered by Residential Agricultural, Timber Production Zone, and Agricultural Zoning Districts with varying minimum parcel sizes. The project parcels are surrounded by Rural and Forest General Plan Land Use Designations. The project parcels are transected by the County maintained roads Banner Lava Cap Road, Red Dog Road, and Red Dog Cross Road. The northern portion of the project area is surrounded by 1.5 acre to 13 acre lots that are mostly developed with residential units and accessory structures. The southern portion that is bordered by the AG and TPZ zoning is comprised of larger low-density parcels that are mostly undeveloped.
Document Description
A proposed Immediate Rezone from a Timberland Production Zoning District to the new zones (RA-10 (157 acres) & AG-30 (150 acres)) approved through Ordinance 2453 in 2018, and a proposed Tentative Final Map to subdivide 2 legal parcels with six APNs, totaling approximately 307-acres, into eleven (11) lots ranging in size from 4-acres to 127.4-acres. An existing residence and accessory structures located on proposed lot 3 are served by an existing driveway. Proposed Lot 7 would be dedicated to the Nevada County Consolidated Fire District as a public benefit for a future use such as a fire station or potential helipad to provide emergency services to the area. Building envelopes would contain existing improvements, sized to allow potential future additional improvements, and designed to avoid sensitive resources to the greatest extent possible. Existing public rights of way provide primary access to the subdivision. All 11 lots would be served by individual septic systems for sewage disposal. 7 of the 11 lots will have metered connection to the Nevada Irrigation District’s treated water system and the remaining 4 lots will be served by private wells. The project site contains scattered landmark oaks, landmark oak groves, and watercourses which will be avoided through the implementation of building envelopes.
