Title

Parcel Map 22-0005 and Zone Amendment 23-0004 (Tellstrom)

Description

The project is a proposal to change the zoning for an approximately 132.90-acre undeveloped parcel from the National Recreation Area, Shasta Unit (NRA-S) to the NRA-S combined with Building Site Minimum (NRA-S-BSM) and to subdivide the subject property into four parcels, 74.89 acres, 20.41 acres, 20.00 acres and 20.20 acres in size, and for approval exceptions from the Shasta County Development Standards road policies and standards and fire safety standards for primary road access. The minimum lot size for the proposed BSM zone district will be equal to the proposed acreage of each of the four new parcels. Development envelopes are proposed on each of the proposed parcels and the remaining land is designated non-building/limited-disturbance due to the heavily forested and steeply sloped terrain. The development envelopes between .51 and 1.07 acres in size and are located in areas that were previously disturbed by logging activities. Limited disturbance is defined for the project as disturbance that is limited to vegetation removal to meet the legal requirements for defensible space for structures in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 4291, and for forest management subject to the Forest Practices Act, including timber harvest plans, which are the functional equivalent of CEQA, and under the jurisdiction of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Construction of two 80-foot turn outs located along Lakeview Drive and a new fire engine turn-around where Lakeview Drive and Skyline Drive intersect within the project boundary are proposed to improve emergency access. The Shasta County Fire Department supports a request for an exception from the Shasta County Fire Standards to allow for a single location 16-foot-wide, 68-foot-long pinch point on Lakeview Drive. The project also includes improvements to the road shoulders in five (5) locations along Lakeview Drive in the form of aggregate base backing and paving, where severe slopes along the roadway do not impede construction of shoulders.
