The project consists of three parts: a Lot Line Adjustment (LLA), a Zone Boundary Interpretation (ZBA), and a Joint Timber Management Plan (JTMP). The LLA is proposal is to relocate the boundaries of three parcels such that they follow the centerlines of roads and creeks, resulting in three parcels. The purpose of the LLA is to create logical management units. The Zone Boundary Interpretation, pursuant to Section 311-8 of the zoning regulations, is requested to describe the zoning boundary between Parcel 1, zoned Agricultural General five (5) acre minimum parcel size (AG-B-5(5)), and Parcel 2, zoned Timber Production (TPZ), to coincide with the centerline of unnamed creek, consistent with the locations of the new lot lines. The movement of the lot lines will result in approximately 0.90 acres of AG-B-5(5) land used historically and currently as timberland, being recognized as TPZ. A Joint Timber Management Plan (JTMP) is required pursuant to California Government Code Section 51119.5 which stipulates that parcels zoned for timber production may not be divided into parcels containing less than 160 acres without an approved JTMP. The proposed LLA will result in parcel one being 100.35 acres, and parcel three being 141.31 acres. A 4/5ths vote for approval by the Board of Supervisors must occur before the JTMP and LLA can be approved.
