1b: The project will result In the creation of two separat,3 parcels
which could be built upon by both single-family residences and
agricultural outbuildings. Because of the size of - the parcels, this
Would represent an Insignificant amount of dvercovering of the entire
property.

1h: All of Butte County is within a Moderate Earthquake Intensity
Zona VIII. The subject property is located approximately two, Mtles
southwest of a possible fault location associated wIth.the Paytons

Uniform Building Code standards for seismically active oreas should
provide adequate protection to occupants In case of seismic activity -
3b: Development of agricultural buildings and residences on the two
resultant parcels Would lead to an InsignIficant amount of
overcoveringi Which would locall4,t change absorption rates but would
not be significant when viewed as an overall project.
4d* Development of homesites and agricultural buildings will result
In the removal of 80 InziqnIfIcant amount of land from agricultural
