The present zoning is A --1Q (Agricultural, 10 acre parcels) adopted in 1975. The Chico Urban Area. Land Use Plan and Butte County General Plan Land Use Element designates this area as Orchard and Field Crop. When determining general plan conformity, these factors must be considered: 1.

Timing of the division of lands zoned A-5 or A-10 are subject to the land use policies regarding orderly development (page 30) and 'agricultural preservation (page 30). 3.

An archaeological on-site inspection of the Robert Rankin parcel was conducted in order to identify and evaluate all cultural resources on the property. The parcel was considered to be archaeologically sensitive due primarily to its flat topography and easy access to a natural water source, Mud Creek (see Map 1). Prior to the field reconnaissance the state archaeological site records were reviewed at the Northeast Information Center located at California State University, Chico, No sites had been previously recorded for the parcel nor had there been an archaeological field inspection of the project area. Project Location and Description. The Rankin parcel consists of 24 acres of almond trees located adjacent to the intersection of Muir and Kennedy avenues in Chico, California (Maps 1 and 2). It is approximately 1200 meters east of Mud Creek, Map 2 shows the property in Township 22 N, Range 1 E, MOW on the Ord Ferry USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle. The project area has been leveled for the almond orchard and has an underground sprinkler irrigation system. The Rankin home is the only existing structure on the property. lExcept for the almond trees the ground is Mostly bare. Surface soil is soft, gray and sandy, Methodology and Results. An on-site inspection of the project parcel was performed by Keith l_ Johnson on August 12, 1988. Total coverage resulted from walking parallel, east -west transects spaced approximately 25 meters apart. No signif icant cultural resources were encountered during the reconnaissance, A few isolated examples of modern trash -- aluminum pop cans, styrofoam fragments - were noted, The only aboriginal artifact found • RanklOarcel Archaeological Reconnaissance page was a small, basalt flake scraper. Its presence was fortuitous, Oue to the absence of important cultural remains on the Rankin {parcel, archaeological clearance for the project is recommended.

It is easy to cultivate and well suited to irrigation as a result of its smooth surface. Division of the property into a 10 and 13 acre lot could remove the soils from production. 3bs The project should not result in any significant change or alteration to the drainage pattern. 4a,d: A mature almond orchard is located on the property. Surrounding lands have also been planted in almonds and to the southeast, kiwis. Construction of a homesite and access road on Parcel 2 will require the removal of some trees. it is estimated that one acre will be cleared for the homesite construction. Tree removal may exceed one acre depending on the width and placement of the driveway. Over the long term, soil .:ompaction under the road and parking areas may negatively impact surrounding trees. Soil compaction will restrict percolation of water and access to water by the trees: Residential development may impair the ability of neighboring properties to remain in agricultural production, New residents may complain about noise, dust, and the potential for pesticide drift. This impact is particularly significant because the surrounding parcels are large agricultural units. Properties to the east are under contracts for intensive agricultural production, Mitigation measures will be necessary to minimize impacts to agricultural production. Some alternatives include: 1 Entering into a Williamson Act Contract on all family .parcels 2. Enter into a development agreement with the County to insure,long-term agricultural use of the property. 3. Conveying a development easement to the County for a specified period of time: The easement should not expire prior to the expiration date of the LCA contracts to the east, 4. Designate a 200 ft. no --development area from the original property boundary: 6b sweeping the orchard floor and other agricultural activities will generate an excessive amount of noise. Noise levels will vary by season and are not considered a significant impact. S property on-site is zoned A-10 (Agri ulti al y- 10 acre minimum), This zoning district was adopted in 1975, prior to adoption of the County wide Land Use Element (1979) and Chico Urban Area Land Use Plan (1982)i when zoning predates the General, Plan, General. Plan policies have to be reviewed very carefully to determine the appropriate parcel size. Two sets of policy statements apply in this area. 1. Those from the Chico "Urban Area Land Usn Map and 2. 'Those from the Butte County General. Plan, Greenline policies deem existing A-5 and A-10 toning districts as complying with the ag, preservation policies.
