Planning commission approves Tatum boundary line adjustment, cites CEQA exemption
Summary
The Siskiyou County Planning Commission voted to approve the Tatum Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA 25-23), finding the change categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15305(a); staff said the reconfiguration yields one 14.47-acre parcel and one 16.88-acre parcel and recommended approval.
The Siskiyou County Planning Commission on June 17 approved Resolution PC2026-007, determining the Tatum Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA 25-23) is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the project.
Associate Planner Bernadette Sison told the commission the proposal “has proposed to reconfigure 2 existing parcels located in the community of McLeod, resulting in 1 14.47 acre parcel and 1 16.88 acre parcel,” and recommended adoption of the categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15305(a). Sison also pointed to county code requirements for double-frontage parcels under the Siskiyou County code (noted in the staff report as §10-4.1050.3).
Applicant Edward Pearson, who identified himself and gave a local address, said he was present to answer questions and offered no substantive contested testimony. Commissioners and staff discussed potential ingress and egress and agreed that the parcel’s functional frontage will be determined at the time of development by driveway location; staff noted the narrow 60-foot strip touching Hall Road is unlikely to serve as the primary frontage.
Commissioner (Speaker 5) moved adoption of Resolution PC2026-007 and Commissioner Mann (Speaker 2) seconded; the commission adopted the resolution by voice vote. No public opponents spoke during the hearing. Chair noted that appeals of planning commission decisions must be filed with the county clerk within 10 calendar days and must include the $1,250 appeal fee.
The approval clears the boundary-line adjustment to proceed subject to any standard development permitting process and applicable fronting determination at time of building or driveway placement.
