Zone Amendment 06-044 - Sierra Pacific Industries

The project site is currently designated as "Timberland Production Zone" pursuant to the Timberland Productivity Act of 1982 (Government Code Section 51100). The applicant has requested that the lands be removed from the "timberland production zone" pursuant to Government Code Section 51120. The zoning would be amended from the Timber Production (TP) zone district, as designated by the Shasta County Zoning Plan, to the Timberland (TL) zone district. The new zoning would take effect in the year 2017, after a ten-year phase out period. No other land use proposals have been submitted for the subject parcels. In addition to continued commercial timber production, the proposed TL zone district allows for very low density residential and associated accessory uses. It is estimated that at the end of the phase-out period, development potential would be limited to approximately 22 parcels, assuming that underlying patent parcels do not already exceed this number and that any proposals to divide any of the lands would meet adopted development standards.
