Maidu Mountain Lion Housing Development General Plan Amendment (GPA24-0001)

The Maidu Mountain Lion Housing Development involves a grant-funded, two-phase residential project for the Berry Creek Rancheria of Tyme Maidu Indians of California. Managed by the Butte County Department of Development Services and applied for by the Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority, the project requires a General Plan Amendment, a rezoning from Medium Density Residential to Planned Development, and a tentative parcel map to subdivide the site into two lots. Located at 4001 Hildale Avenue in the Oroville Sphere of Influence, the development will take place on a 7.76-acre property. Phase 1 focuses on 4.5 acres to construct 12 single-family units and necessary infrastructure, while Phase 2 utilizes 2.8 acres to develop 10 units, consisting of five duplexes. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, as it aligns with the certified Butte County General Plan 2040 environmental impact report. Administrative oversight is provided by the Butte County Planning Division, with Rowland Hickel serving as the primary contact and Paula M. Daneluk, AICP, serving as the Chief Planning Official. While the documents do not specify a total contract value or procurement pricing, they note a $50.00 Clerk's Documentary Handling Fee required for the filing of the environmental exemption. All applicable fees must be paid to the County of Butte prior to the filing of any environmental documents with the Butte County Clerk's Office.
