Due to the ziz# of the parcels,, this shouldd, not be a significant impact. Development of additional homesites on the property will remove ,or�-o land from agricultural use. Due to the size of the properties, iw in will not be a considered_a significant amount. ;L?, All of Butte County is Located within a moderate earthquake L,1tatnsi.ty zone VIII. The subj ect property is located approximately 1 ,JJe— west of faults associated with the Foothill Shear Zone which .upported the 1975 Oroville Earthquake:. Construction of buildings to Lln,i,form Building Code standards for seismically active areas .should provide adequateprotection to occupants in case of seismic activity. 3d,J: The Federal Emergency Management Agency maps for this area, show ,some potential for flooding along North Honcut Creek along the southerly portion of the subject property. The area subject to flooding represents approximately 20-25% of the southerly proposed parcel (Parcel 3). Accordingly, flooding potential of this property should not unduly effect the usability of the subject property nor ondanger the people or possessions located on the parcel. 5,6,, The North Honcut Creek Channel supports riparian habitat which i protected by California state policy. No construction or development ohould take place within this riparian habitat, ,nor should it be rmoved Since this area is also subject to flooding, development of area is unlikely, and therefore, no significant impacts should, CCcUe 6,b The subject, property is :subject to aircraft noise from airplanes using Beale Airforce Base. Occupants of the property could experience noise levels in the 60-65 dB CNEt range: Single family dwellings ,built to uniform Building Cade Standards should reduce interior noise levels to acceptable levels as contained in the Butte County Noise Element Policy Statements, 13a,cJ Developihent, of additional homesites on property will represent an incremental increase in traffic and associated traffic ,hazards on area roads. Due to the sparsely populated naturs of the area and loco traffic counts; this should not be a 83'-gnificant effect, 14: This project will represent an incremental increase .in demand for bl puic services in, a :rural, area. 20a: The subject property is located in an area where archaeological sites may occur, it is necessary to perform a records check through 'thgj :DepartmidOt of Anthropology at California State ;University, Ch vzo� Iv. arder to determine of significant sites may be located on property. Op, an archaeological survey of the property may be necessary. S.Ut LSTED M; '%I wLTION MF SURES C. I, Xo mitigation measures recommended at this time regarding grchaeoli)gical impacts. In order to assess the potential for adverse ,impacts and to determine what, if any, mitigation measurs would be appropriate, the applicant should contact the Northeast Xaformation Center at California State University, Chico, for a records search and sensitivity evaluation. Should the Center :recommend that an archaeological survey be conducted, it will then be necessary for a qualified archaeologist to perform an archaeological, survey of the property; �R�Jmc I' .A;vlicant; Ernest: R.
