TPM-25-0005 (Bock) IS/MND

The applicant, Gregory Bock is requesting approval of a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM-25-0005) to subdivide an approximately 23.86-acre parcel into four (4) residential parcels. Parcel 1 is proposed to be 5.6 acres, Parcel 2 is proposed to be 5.9 acres, Parcel 3 is proposed to be 6.1 acres, and Parcel 4 is proposed to be 6.3 acres in size. The property is currently developed with a single 18-foot by 50-foot barn constructed in 2005, along with several soil test pit locations identified on the tentative map, and a 10,000-square-foot area identified on the site plan for a future building envelope. Access to the site is via an existing 18.6-foot-wide paved private road (Sandstone Lane) and a driveway/emergency access easement. The Tentative Map establishes the lot configuration and circulation network that would support future development consistent with the existing RR-5 zoning designation. Approval of the Tentative Map does not authorize grading, road construction, utility installation, or the construction of residences; any future development on the individual parcels would be subject to separate County permitting and review. The project site is located south of HWY 20, within the community of Browns Valley (APN 005-570-013). The property is currently zoned Rural Residential with a 5-acre minimum (RR-5) and designated Rural Community (RC) by the Yuba County 2030 General Plan. The project site is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada’s and consists predominantly of mixed blue oak and pine woodland with an understory of non-native annual grassland. The property has been substantially disturbed by historic placer mining activity, which has left amorphous rock piles, churned soils, and deep man-made ephemeral swales across portions of the site. These swales are classified as non-wetland Other Waters of the U.S. (OWUS) and are hydrated by rainfall only, ultimately dissipating into the adjacent gravel mining operations rather than reaching the Yuba River. No perennial wetlands occur within the project area. The property was previously part of a larger ranch and mining landscape and is now surrounded by rural residential parcels, oak/pine woodland, and active aggregate mining.
