1. 2022-059 Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for The Mathis Family Trust The applicant is requesting approval of a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (VTPM) to divide three Assessor parcels into eleven lots, all 40+ acres in size. Pursuant to Chapter 16.01.160.A.4 of the Calaveras County Code, this project was processed as a tentative parcel map. The stated purpose of the proposed land division is for estate planning purposes. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15270, CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves. An environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA has not been completed as staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the application. The project site (APNs 021-002-081, 021-001-006, and 021-001-012) is approximately 460 acres of unimproved land owned by The Mathis Family Trust. The site is accessed from a driveway off Whiskey Slide Road, approximately one- and-a-half miles northwest of the intersection of Whiskey Slide Road and Mountain Ranch Road. The site is located in a portion of Section 32, Section 29, and Section 33, T05N, R13E, MDM&B. (Katherine Stefani, Senior Planner)
