Placer County zoning administrator approves Smith minor land division near American River
Summary
The Placer County Zoning Administrator approved a minor land division for Yvonne Smith to split a 17.85-acre parcel into two lots after adopting a mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program; the decision included an asbestos-related condition and the appeal period was waived except for the applicant.
The Placer County Zoning Administrator on Sept. 18 approved a minor land division for property owner Yvonne Smith that splits a 17.85-acre parcel off Andregg Road in South Auburn into two parcels of about 11 and 6.87 acres.
Staff told the hearing that it had prepared a mitigated negative declaration and recommended adoption of the associated mitigation monitoring and reporting program. Planning staff said the package included an addendum addressing the need for an asbestos-related condition on the site.
The mitigated negative declaration and the mitigation monitoring and reporting program were adopted pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines and Placer County code, and the minor land division was approved subject to the conditions in the staff report. The zoning administrator noted that, because there were no public comments on the item, she would waive the appeal period; the applicant remains the only party who can appeal.
Why it matters: The approval clears the way for the property owner to proceed with the subdivision, which will create two separate parcels and may enable future sales or development under Placer County rules. The hearing record shows staff included a specific condition to address an on-site asbestos finding.
Details and background: Planning staff described the site as adjacent to the American River and the Sherland Tract and said the recommended actions were supported by the environmental analysis in the staff report. Environmental Health and Engineering and Surveying staff confirmed support subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.
Action and next steps: The zoning administrator approved the mitigated negative declaration, adopted the mitigation monitoring and reporting program, and approved the Smith minor land division PLN21-00220 subject to the conditions of approval. The administrator waived the appeal period for third parties because no public comments were filed at the hearing; the applicant may appeal.
