Calvary Concow Inc. General Plan Amendment (GPA25-0002) & Rezone (REZ25-003)

Calvary Concow Inc. is seeking approval for a General Plan Amendment and Rezone of a 5.74-acre parcel located on the northeast corner of Highway 70 and Yankee Hill Road in Oroville, California, with a ZIP code of 95965. The current land use designation is Foothill Residential (FR) under FR-2 zoning, which requires a minimum two-acre lot size, and the applicant proposes to change this to Retail and Office (RTL) under C-C (Community Commercial) zoning to allow for commercial development. The project is being administered by the Butte County Department of Development Services, with the Lead Agency being the Butte County Planning Division. The proposal has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) due to the presence of existing development including a church, parking areas, and accessory structures, which eliminates the need for an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration. Supporting documentation includes a Notice of Exemption, a CDFW No Effect Determination, and payment receipts for administrative fees totaling $4,123.50, which cover state filing fees and county documentary handling fees. All required filings must be submitted in physical hard copy format—two copies of forms and three copies of supporting documents—to the Butte County Clerk’s Office at 25 County Center Drive, Oroville, CA 95965 by the submission deadline of November 19, 2025. The amendment and rezone must be approved by the Butte County Board of Supervisors before taking effect. There are no federal contract clauses, procurement line items, payment offices, or federal acquisition regulations applicable to this action, as it is a local land use entitlement process governed by California environmental and planning law. Contacts for the project include Mark Michelena, Principal Planner, and Dan Breedon, Planning Manager, with Paula M. Daneluk serving as Chief Planning Official. No federal contracting mechanisms such as WAWF, UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications are involved, and the process is purely administrative under CEQA, without any federal funding, contracting, or procurement elements.
