The site (AP #43-0.4-129; 43 -07 -OS; 4-054r1,8,J9) is 10 ated on the south side of West 11th Avenue between Holy Avenue and Fern Avenue north of Chico. Meadow Road, one of the t-t4b site access'roads Off West 11th Avenue; will run southerly conncr:ting with West 8th Avenue. Proposed dsrtsity of the development is three DU per acre. Water will: be provided by California Water Service and sewage disposal will be by individual septic tanks: The site is level with slopes less than 2 percent. Natural, drainage is towards the sotithwest. Soils are of the Vina-,Farwell Association and acre deep and well drained Vegetation con8"ists of ' ofmond birdsrand amallcmamma�s.grasses Rlevationis which provide habitat for a variety approximately 179 feet and annual rai.nfali, averages between 22 and 24 inches. The current Butte County General Plan Land Use designation is Medium Density Residential (9-12 .))U per acre). Current -zoning is S -R (Subutban-Residential). EXisting land uses include an almond orchard and a house With associated outbuildings. Surrounding land uses include residential along West 11th Avenue, twosubdivisions to the south and scattered almond orchards. The s..�kadiv skin will have almond orchards adjacent to its `eastern and western. boundaries: .. lh, 3b c.
