Tentative Parcel Map No. 2907 Jess Project

The Tentative Parcel Map No. 2907 Jess Project, managed by the Amador County Planning Department, involves the division of a 215.46-acre parcel located at 6780 Martin Lane in Ione, California, into two separate parcels of approximately 22 and 193.46 acres. This land use action includes a General Plan Amendment to change the designation from Agricultural to Industrial, a Zone Change from Exclusive Agriculture to Special Use and vice versa, and an amendment to California Land Conservation Act Contract #412. The project has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Notice of Determination filed on September 22, 2026, confirming that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment provided specific mitigation measures are implemented. Key requirements for the project include the submission of a final parcel map and public report, as well as surveys conducted by a licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer. The applicant must provide irrevocable offers of dedication for a 25-foot fee right-of-way along Iristown Road and Spagnoli Mine Road, and establish utility easements per County Code. Environmental compliance mandates include biological and rare plant surveys prior to construction, the establishment of avoidance zones for special-status species, and the implementation of erosion control best management practices to protect wetlands. Additionally, the project must adhere to California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 regarding the discovery of human remains. Monitoring and oversight are distributed across the Amador County Building Department, the Surveyor's Office, and the Department of Transportation and Public Works.
