CEQA Addendum for Amendment to an Approved Map

The project involves an amendment to an approved parcel map for a 71.31-acre property located approximately one and one-half miles south of Higgins Corner in Auburn, California, with the intent to establish a new building envelope on the southern portion of the parcel and revise the designation of an environmentally sensitive blue oak habitat area previously identified on Parcel 4. This amendment is linked to the original Mitigated Negative Declaration EIS06-039, which has been formally updated via a 15164 letter to reflect the revised land use configuration. The action falls under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is subject to Nevada County’s Land Use and Development Code, with all compliance efforts coordinated through the Nevada County Planning and Building Departments. Mitigation measures are conditionally required to protect biological resources, including Brandegee’s clarkia and oak trees, and to manage erosion, sedimentation, dust, and potential asbestos exposure during construction activities, with enforcement tied to specific environmental monitoring protocols and regulatory thresholds. All activities must adhere to standards set by the Nevada County Air Quality Management District, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other federal and state agencies, with inspections and approvals conducted exclusively by governmental entities. The place of performance is distinctly located in Auburn, CA, and timing of key actions—such as pre-construction surveys—is constrained to specific ecological windows, particularly between late May and early July. No formal contract clauses, pricing data, payment terms, delivery schedules, or procurement-related certifications exist in the documentation; the instrument is purely a land use amendment under local jurisdiction with no federal acquisition framework, and the submission process is governed by procedural requirements under Nevada County codes rather than standardized federal forms or clauses. The project relies on a series of referenced technical documents and mitigation matrices, though no formal attachments with metadata are identified or listed in a structured manner.
