AI Contract Overview

The Sewell Tentative Parcel Map project, identified by numbers PLN25-0034, TPM25-0002, and EIS25-0003, involves the subdivision of a 27.75-acre parcel located at 13552 Empress Road in an unincorporated area of Nevada City, California. The project will divide the land into two parcels: Parcel 1, approximately 11.77 acres containing a shop building, well, and septic system; and Parcel 2, approximately 15.98 acres containing a residence, barn, and septic system. No new development is proposed. Both parcels will utilize a shared 12-foot-wide paved driveway from Empress Road, requiring the establishment of reciprocal access and utility easements. Water for Parcel 2 is supplied via an off-site well in the Empress Meadows Subdivision, and electrical service for Parcel 1 crosses Parcel 2. The property boundaries follow the Nevada Irrigation District Newtown Canal, with no proposed encroachments into the canal setback. The lead agency for this project is the County of Nevada, with Aleena Church serving as the primary administrative contact. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration have been prepared to assess environmental impacts, including biological resources, noise, and tribal cultural resources. A public review period for these documents was scheduled from June 6, 2026, to July 5, 2026. All improvement plans must be approved by the Planning Department prior to permit issuance, and any discovery of cultural resources will require a work stoppage until CEQA and AB52 investigation requirements are satisfied.
