Tentative Parcel Map 2936 and General Plan Amendment GP-26;7-1 Meza Vargas, Meza

This project, managed by Amador County, involves a request for Tentative Parcel Map 2936 and General Plan Amendment GP-26;7-1 for applicants Juventino Meza Vargas and Tamy Meza. The proposal seeks to divide a 40-acre parcel, identified as APN 003-420-117 and located at 3750 Camanche Road in Ione, California, into two separate 20-acre parcels. To facilitate this division, the project requires a General Plan Amendment to change the land designation from Agricultural General, which has a 40-acre minimum, to Agricultural Transition, which allows for a 20-acre minimum. The property is currently zoned for Single-family Residential and Agricultural use. The project has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Approval is subject to 15 specific conditions, including the payment of fish and wildlife fees, the submission of the final parcel map, and the implementation of biological mitigation measures to protect nesting birds and special-status species. A public hearing was scheduled for October 13, 2026, following a public comment period that began on September 23, 2026. The process included early consultation with state, tribal, and local agencies to ensure comprehensive regulatory compliance.
