DISCUSSION Or ENVIRONMENTALEV�LPATXON A This proposal ILS a :Land division of a 2.62 acre parcel into two � parcels of about 1.a5 acres in size on AP# 42-0G-2GChico. Tho parcel is 'bound,ed by the Southern Pacific Railroad and Highway �2; it lies between Muir Avenue and Xbnnedy krenue about 1200 feet southeast of the intersection of Hi8h6y 32 and Muir .venue.' I h: A moderate liquefacti.bon potential and potential subsidence are noted. Most of the Chico area falls into these categories due in part to the soil types and the heavy groundwater withdrawal. Ig, 4d: There are some fruit and almond 'gees on the property which are not actively maintained. Surrounding Properties con- dist of orcha:vao and gard,ons in addition to residences. The soils are highly fertile and can be devoted to croplands, orchards and other agricultural uses. The land has prime agricultural potential, but x,t is relatively small to be commercially viable andL it is isolated by Highway 32 and the railroad. 6b: Hi hwa c g �' 32 and -the „outhern Pacific Railroad s;re adjacent railroad lime. A noise level of 65 to 71 decibels c' t from noise sources. The house or parcel two is about 280 fee the an e expected within 200 to 400 feet of the railroad when a train -113 passing. The applicant plans to move the house on, parcel 1 about - 1 30 feet further back from Highway 32 ea,+I ,d toward;, the railroad. 8. The Butte County General Flan shows this area as agricultural - orchard and field crops. The land to the southeast is in a'low density residential classification (1-4 dwelling units per acre).' Thep arcels onzonthe� srideof this parcel are 1.5 and 1.2 acres in size. g 2. According to the Planning Depart- the �ro'ect would be in. conformance with the General o ment the Land Use Element Amendment applies in. this case s project al clan. 136: The ten°tati've parcel map indicates a road easement of 50 feet in width ra`G;�0 er' than the standard 60 feet. Section 2'134 allows a' minimum' -0 food street right-of-way for local access s trea, ts, a shor`bA}through street car an unusual si.tuatim where a cul -de -'sac is app;^opri.ate. The 50 foot wide easement maybe, acceptable in thin case; the railroad limits the extension of the road to the Xo8 • Traffic hazEirds may increase sly y � slightly as the additional dri v'eway'` is constvuctod fronting on Highway 2. An encroachment , 1��•. �' 3 ncroachment Permit must be obtained from Caltrans and a standard load approach constructed as pant of access approval. Appel clix ,> page, 8 of , i 0 '.
