DISCUSSION of ;ENVIRONMENTAL k;VALUATIOPI Summarys A b:vief history of the study area reveals the following: When the State of California purchased land in the area for the ,aurposes ��f constructing Highway ,P, B they used what they required. and the gave baclt .the remnants that khe;y didn't use to the oris -final land c�wneys. The new and old h11 �a yay°s (99E 84 Oro -c7ha„co highway) separated ,many of these pieces of .and into natural parcels whn.ch were givexl .individual ,parcel 'numbers even though technically they were the same parcel Since the $gate said that they 'Mould not; initiate parcel inap proceedings in this area the Butte County Planning DoDartment indicated thati the only way to separate these pieces of sand for some future usc� woul d. be to parcel map, thea rezone and 'then apply for some ust �basod. on the proposed zoning. This should be a step by step prwetoas and some important land u0e� decisions w±ll.* need to be made alfte, the ;,,my. The immediat�i ar(ya surrounding the Highway 99-Pentz Load haM the following uses. East side of 1iikiway 99: The la4d use designation is industrial exista'.1ig zo'n'ing ing is k-� general; the area is a designated sensi- e bot�ar cal area (Peutz Verna, h presentl the ! I fools); the land use is i tiv Opel! and-*, 1611 of that land to the north ,end,east of the site is 4,4er Wli Act.'. West side ol'�Rimhway 99: The land use deoignation is arazing--Open. Land; the existing zdn- ng is'X-,2. to the north of Oro -,Chico Highway and there are established. a.ndu:ttr al uses; `tbethe south the zoning is E1.-y.O and the .and is open lfiand with some agricultural use. In short; in both cases, the :Land. -use designation and zoning° are incohsistent. The creaticjn, of three parcels from land which is na•f.,u,rally separated by the roadways land has a'.rea11�.y been given three parcel.! numbers would probably help eliminate confusion. bne new 'parcel will, 'become avail-' able to develop along the east side of the freeway in the sensitive botanical area; however adopted goals would seem to indicate that little to Ito develop,,bient shotld be allowed it this area. The botanical area is not protected adequately at px'esont by the land use designation and the A- ,P. 2ioning,. The zoning allows any number of uses which have the potential to totally destroy kty rare plants. .T maiinental plobleto in the area are the effect of develop- htn thePe is arid the aepthetia impacts of any development on the mountaift vistas from they highway.

BUV d Comm, Introduction. w On Jone 5% 1979 a botanical survey of the ban Nay Sr. properties (A.P. N 40-13-29; A, & 24),w conducted. The purpose of the survey was, to determine the pq enti;al for�occurre'Ace of rare and endangered plants in aoticipation of approval of; a tentative panel map. General description, 'rhe project site is'Iocated on three sides of the intersection of HiSh;tay 99 and Pentz Road, This area could best be classified as Cbntral Valley.Gratsland plant cdimmunity. It is characterized by low herbaceous Vegetation which is generally composed of introduced and natiVe grasses and forbsi No attE;mpt was made to identify all of the species present on the site due-to the late date of the study. Most s ecies Of this plant community p are fidentifiable only through the Spring inoAthes. By 'Juste, Most of the species were well beyond'ah identifiable stage. Minor habitat types ol'.the site include stream beds and small, shallow, Vernal pools.(hogwallows)'. In these areas species composition could beiexpected to differ significantly from the remainder of the project area Relationship o rare species,;, The occurronce of rare spoidies on this site is directly related to the availability of suitable habitat. Threerare :Species are known to occur hear the site within a large deep vernal pool. Thee are Orcuttia ;ryre —leis Euphorbia hooyori., end Guscuta howe_ll.iana. These species tend to be,habitat specific in th•a they require deep Vernal pools for thier existence The, Vernal pools f0Qhd on the project site were, with out exception, . unsuitable for any of the abovos named "species, For this reason, it is highly urlikely that any of these would occur bn the project site �t tY z I�0TTCR CI: ��,tJ�ii�~4MTNA ION Lb a 9980 T0,- L7 Seo.retaXyY r 'plesources 141 N i,n tc , S tte e t , Room 131:1 CLARK A.
