Supervisors approve rezone and mitigated negative declaration for Old Mill Road parcel
Summary
The board approved a rezone request for a 0.75-acre Old Mill Road parcel owned by Hazmig Tamazan, adopting a mitigated negative declaration and forwarding a local coastal program amendment to the California Coastal Commission for certification.
The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a rezone and related environmental determination on a 0.75-acre parcel on Old Mill Road owned by Hazmig Tamazan.
Jessica Pollard, planner in the Community Development Department, said the application seeks to change the property's zoning from General Resource Conservation Area (RCA-1) to a designated Resource Conservation Area (RCA-2) with RCA-2 Wetland and Wetland Buffer to allow repairs and improvements to the existing residence. County and applicant biologists, in concurrence with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, delineated wetland limits and supported a mitigated negative declaration for the project, Pollard said.
As recommended in the staff report, the board voted to adopt the mitigated negative declaration, approve the ordinance amending the Coastal Zoning Map (B-9) for the rezone, and adopt a resolution forwarding a local coastal program minor amendment application to the California Coastal Commission for certification. There were no public speakers on the item and the vote was unanimous.
The planner noted the residence sits near a deep drainage ravine that drains northwest to a nearby lake; the RCA-2 designation and associated wetland buffer are intended to identify the portion of the lot suitable for residential use while protecting sensitive resource lands. Staff was directed to prepare and forward the application materials to the Coastal Commission as part of the local coastal program amendment process.
