Recommended Action:

Recommended action

(4/5th Vote Required) (First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Districts)

end

 

Executive Summary:

Permit Sonoma staff periodically identifies zoning and/or land use discrepancies and errors, and then brings forward minor zoning and General Plan amendments as technical corrections to improve the accuracy of zoning and land use information. Minor zone changes and general plan amendments required as conditions of approval for lot line adjustments and subdivision approvals are also included as technical corrections to align land use and zoning designations with newly adjusted parcel boundaries. On June 8, 2010, the Board of Supervisors adopted the first set of technical corrections to the Official Zoning Database, some of which required concurrent general plan amendments. Since that date, the Board has adopted eight sets of technical corrections. This round of technical corrections includes eight corrections due to historical errors and 27 corrections required as conditions of project approval.

 

Discussion:

Project Description

Technical corrections are intended to resolve inadvertent errors and/or historical inconsistencies by restoring the subject parcels to the correct zoning and/or land use. Minor or routine zone changes, such as those required by project conditions of approval, are also included in the project. The proposed changes will not result in any substantive change to County land use policy. Affected parcels and their proposed changes are outlined in Table 1.

*The Land Use and Zoning for 18661 Lomita Avenue, Sonoma (APN 127-072-014) will not be changing. Currently the parcel is partially within the Urban Service Area boundary and the proposed technical change will extend the Urban Service Area boundary to fully incorporate the parcel.

Explanations of County zoning codes can be found online at <https://permitsonoma.org/zoningcodes>.

 

Planning Commission

On October 19, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended approval for the ninth round of technical corrections at a public hearing. Due to a noticing error, one of the parcels (APN 127-072-014) originally identified and proposed for technical correction on that date was removed from the Commission’s consideration. On November 2, 2023, staff presented the single excluded technical correction to the Planning Commission, and the Planning Commission recommended approval to include in the ninth round of technical corrections for the Board’s consideration.

 

California Environmental Quality Act

The amendments to the General Plan land use designations and zoning designations to correct errors are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as follows. The amendments to General Plan land use designations and zoning to correct historical errors are exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that these changes may have a significant effect on the environment because the proposed amendments to the General Plan and zoning will only correct historical errors. No change in the physical environment would result because no development is proposed as part of the adjustments to land use and zoning designations, and because the amendments only implement the existing regulations. These updates are needed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the General Plan Land Use Map and Official Zoning Database. Amendments to the General Plan land use designations and zoning designations to implement previously approved project conditions of approval were analyzed in compliance with CEQA as part of their originating project and at the time of project approval. These amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 (Class 5), minor alterations in land use limitations, because the amendments merely realign the General Plan land use boundaries and zoning boundaries to be coterminous with adjusted property lines.

 

General Plan Consistency

The proposed amendments are consistent and compatible with the Sonoma County General Plan in that the changes include technical corrections and minor, inconsequential zone changes being undertaken to ensure consistency between the General Plan and Official Zoning Database and to implement conditions of approval of previously approved projects.
