REPORT ON TENTATIVE PARCEL MRP FOR MARTIN MEES'1PIR ON
AP#42-01-82
April 19, 1988
This is a proposal to divide 12 acres into 2 - 0 acre parcels.
The present zoning is A-5 (Agricultural, 5 acrd parcels),
adopted in 1966. The Land Use Plan Map of the Dutte County
General. Plan designates this area as Orchard & :yield Crop,
located.north and chest of the Chico. Urban Area Greenline.
The Safety Element indicates that this project is in an --
Unclassified fire hazard area.
The Orchard & Field Crop General Plan designation has a 20
acre minimum parcel size. Five and ten acre parcels are
conditionally consistent provided three criteria are met;
1. Predominant 5 to 10 acre parcel size in vicinity,
2. Vicinity of urban boundaries,
3. Agricultural viability not impaired.
The parcel is surrounded on three sides by rural residential
uses. parcel si."zes range from 1 to 11 acres . CJS^ban boundaries
are located three quarters of a mile east near Bell and i:ussirk.
While an argument can be made that 6 or 12 acro parcel can be
used for speciality crops, surrounding !and use pattern 'ould
iftda catE: the land will not. be used for agric,t�ltural purl ses
The viability of this parcel was severely diminished when Mri
Nichols divided the original. 28 acre parceli
on the appeal of the Advisory Ag"cX's denial, the Board of
Supervisors approved five aOrO lots for Robert Brown, Robert
Nichols and Frank Brazell. 1,he Board of Super;visors
found that
division into five acro, rarcels on property zoned A-5 and
located west of they G, -r, online complies with the General Plan

lb; Construction of the roads and two estate houses will overoover an
estimated 1/2 - I acre of the total site. This level of ovarcoverIng
and COMpmction of the soil surface is not significant.
le.- The soils on-site are not subject to erosion.
Ig,4d: soils on-site are vina loam, a prime agricultural Until
recently, the property was In agricultural production. Oil tlio day of
the field trip, the property appeared to have been discal i but t'10t
planted,
The property is zoned A-5, and Is located north of the Chico Urban Ar"66
Green line. The General Plan designates property for orchard tkild
Field Crop uses. The Intent of the General Plan and Chico Urban Ara
Greenilne Is to preserve agricultural soils and land for agriculturnI
Uses. The agricultural value of this property Was greatly diminishOd
When It Was, divided In late 1985,
Adjacent to this property on the north are two iarge agricultural
parcels measuring Bo and 113 acres each. The so acre parcel Is planted
Irl orchard, The agricultural viability of these larger oarcels may be
111)1),nlred with 'the construction of additional estate homes, New
raildents may complain about dust, noise, spraying and odors Which
coklid create problems for the agriculture community. Land Use
c(1flicts between suburbar, res,
I Id.gnts and their agricultural neighbors
1
often result in the agriculturist moving further away from town.
The property Which adjoins residential use may be subdivided, pushing
rural residential uses further and further Into agricultural landsi
A condition of the original oarcel map was to designate a 100 ft. no
development area from the northerly property line. This building
setback Was Intended to reduce land Use conflicts between residents and
agriculturalist. This buffer is ihsuffldleht to reduce nolle or dust
unless it is 1,1e6vily landscaped with trees and bushes,
2aib, Normal agricultural operations will generate a great volume Of
dust, spray, fumes, and smoke from burning slash, These operations may
