SUMMARY
The p1jrpose of this supplemental environmental impact
report is to explore the potential significant effects of this
61 lot PA"- residential subdivision than were not examined
in the Rig -1hico Creek Estates subdivision Environmental Impact
Report;. This development creates 67 detached single-family
dwellings cn 14.30 acres adjacent to West Sacramento Avenue
approx:ms':ely 1400 feet West of Highway 32. The density equates
to 4.0, units 1, ar acre which is in conformance witlh the General
Plan's low density designation for the area.
There will be dual accesses to the subdivision off of
West Sacramento Avenue: The interior roadway system will
cons%st of several loops and short cul--de--sacs. Two access
ways are provided for access to the west ultimately connecting
with West Sacramento Avenue. The interior roadways will be
private. Road widt11i will primarily be 34 feet, with some
roadway and cul-Aew-sacs at 24 feet in width:
HnvirwimentO impacts discussed in this supplemental
report include th- effects of storm water runoff, water
quality in Big Chico Creek, sewage disposal, loss of agricultural
land to_ production, traffic impactsr and the effects on the
school district and C.A.R-0
Currently, there have been three subdivisions approved
in this area totalling 380 lots. Approval of this project
will bring the total. to 447 residential dwelling units. The
subdivisions ares listed below.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
A) Location;
The project involves the development of 14.30 acres
between West Sacramento Avenue and Bidwell. Avenue approximately
530 feet West of Oak Lawn Avenue..
B) Description:
The project proposes creation of 61 single-family
dwelling units. The site is designated as Assessor's Parcel:
Nos. 43--26-03 and 43-29-72. The area is presently zoned A-
SR, Agricultural -Suburban. Residential. The General Plan
designates the area as Low Density Residential (1-6 units per
acre). The project density is in conformity with the General
Plan. The project site presently is an untended 60 -year old
almond orchard.
C) A Statement of objectives Sought by the Proposed Project:
The objective of the proposed project is to create
67 single-family residential units on 14.30 acres, all as a
residential, Planned Area -Cluster concept. This will result
in an average density of 4.68 dwelling units pot gross acre.
D) General Description of the Proj ct's Economics
1. Economic.Consideration
The project involves development of a 67 unit
Planned Area --Cluster, The developer has undertaken a market
analysis and determined that a demand for this type of development
exists on the Chico area if it is tastefully designed. It
is estimated that the project will take two years to complete.
Construction employment will be provided through the term of
development. Estimated cost of construction for the entire
project is $3,60a,000, excluding Land Costs.
The following estimates are made of the economic
factors for the projeot
Value of dwelling units, including underlying
land and ownership of common area - $65,040 to $79,000 x 67
Pot 67 duelling units the following figure is
derived: 67 x 72,000 (median value)
Total. value " $4,$24,000
*A fiscal analysis has been prepared by a representative for
the applicant. This analysis is available,
y2-
0
Using a market value of $4,824,000 and a County tax rate
of 1% of market value, the property taxes returned to the County
would be approximately $5,000 a year at completion of the project.
Additional revenues may be realized in the future by special
taxes or bond payments which may be applicable.
The existing almond trees on the site have been neglected
for several years. The age of the trees (50-60 years old)
affects the crop production and present production is negligible.
in order to bring this Land into commercial production, the
orchard must be replanted entirely. it is estimated that it
would be approximately seven years before a significant yield
could be realized. The general area is known for the presence
of Oak Root Fungus which can be severely damaging to almond
orchards. Commercial orchard production would be possible,
though difficult, given the land use incompatibilities which
oou I id result.
2. Technical Consideration:
a. 67 new residential units will be created,
retaining the streets and common areas under joint ownership.
b. Sewage disposal will bo provided by on-site
septic vanks and conventional leach fields.
0., Water will be provided by California Water
Service Co,, Inc.
d. Sacramento Avenue will be reconstructed to
centerline to County Standards (AS2-A) along the project frontageo
e, Storm drainage will be collected in an thUirqround
system and directed to Big Chico Creek. The creek serves at
a drainage collector for several aeVelopt r)ts upstream from
this project as well as for three doveloV -,s downstream.
a, The project will Provide 67 residential units
and will provide an increase in traffic on West Sacramento
Aveftue and State Route 32,
b. The project will be low density residential
in an area which is primarily low donsity residential. There
are a few untended orchards in the immediate vicinity of this
project_ Several nearby parcels are larger than one acre it
size.
.3.
c. This project has been included it the Sacramento
Avenue Assessment District No. 1 whish provides drainage for
this project as well as several acres to the north and east
of the project. Potential water degradation and proposed mitigation
measures were discussed in the environmental documents' for
the assessment district. Grease and sediment traps were installed
in the storm drainage system to enhance the quality of the
discharge.
d. The project's sewage disposal method will be
by septic tank and conventional leach fields.
e There will be a, Loss of potential agricultural
production and agricultural land,
E, The proposed increase in population may adversely
effect the capacity of Chico Unified school District's existing
facilities,
g. The proposed increase in population may adversely
effect the Chico Ares, Recreation District's ability is provide
recreational. services.
Each of these considerations is addressed in detail
as`a supplemental topic of principal concern,
RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER DtVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA
where are several other residential developments in the
area. Nevi subdi.visiotz, such as Walnut Woods, Big Chico Creek
Estatas, Waterford and Leisurewood tatatest are developing
as single-family homes, These are located westerly and no.rtherl
y
of this project. Several apartment complexes :have been built
easterly and northeasterly from the proposed project. This
project, although more dense than the new subdivisions, is
considerably less dense than the apartment complexes.
The project,will act as a buffer zone between the two
types
development.Environmental lutpact Report was prepared
for Dig Chico Estates which addressed many of the impacts
that occur when development is implemented in agricultural
areas (Log #78-12-21-Ol/SCH##79080700) .

The present orchard trees have no economic value other
than as firewood. The trees do, however, have some esthetic
value and the developer will make every effort to preserve
and incorporate the trees into the project landscaping.

E. Potential_.Loss of Agricultural Production and ,Land:
This project will remove approximately, 14 acres of
land from agricultural use. The proximity of ...igh and low
density residential used partially limits the agricultural
use of the land. Sprays, dust and noise associated with
agricultural use are not compatible with surrounding residential
uses. The land is contained within the urban limits of Chico
as designated on the Butte County General Plan. in addition,
the soil in the area contains Oak Root Fungus which is detrimental
to many root types.
The existing almond orchard on the property is not
economically productive. The trees are well.. past their prime
production years. Past year's crop production was i.nsign.ificant,
F. I:ncreased'Po ul.ation Bffects on C.U.S.D: and C.A.R.b.e
The C.U'.S.D* Board and staff has indicated that the
many new developments proposed for the Chico area will have
serious effect on the district's ability to house students.
Several developers have entered into an agreement with the
district to provide funding for the development of future
school facilities. The developer of this project intends to
also enter into an agreement acceptable to the district.
Each new development that is approved projects a cumu-
lative impact on the C.A.R.D: facilities and programs, This
proposed development of 67 dwelling units will, only provide
approximately $1,200 in taxes for C.A.R.D. each year. The
C.A.R.D. Board of Directors is presently investigating methods
Of implementing development ment fees but to date no firm conclusions
have been reached.
G. '�raffict
Present average daily traffic (ADT) on west Sacramento
Avenue is approximately 2500 vehicles per day. The ADT on
Highway 32 at west Sacramento Avenue is approximately 11j000
vehicles per day. The anticipated increased traffic that will
be generated by this project and the other projects that have
been approved in the area is approximately 3600 ADT (eight
trips generated per housoholQ . The traffic generated by this
Project will, use West Sacramento "venue for access to the
project.
According to the Chico Urban Area Transportation study
dated November, 1982, which was prepared for the City of Chico
by JHR & Associates of San Vranci,sco a uCi' level of service
occurs on an improved two-lane roadway at 12,300 vehicles per
day. The "C" level is one in which a stable traffic operations
exists and only minor delays occur. This is the level typically
associated withurban design practice. if the roadway is riot

fully improved; there is a reduction in capacity on the roadway.
West Sacramento Avenue is only partially improved and the "C"
level of service for this roadway is reduced to approximately
10,000 vehicles per day. The Public Works Department has
plans to widen and improve sacr"anto Avenue, between Glenwood
Avenue and Highway 32, during fiscal year 1983-84.
Existing volume and anticipated volume combined amount
to approximately 6300 vehicles per day, for an "A" level of
service.
The proposed private roadway within the project is
34 feet in width and will permit two-way traffic with parking
on one side of the street. Curb and gutter will be installed
along the roadway throughout the project. The entrance to
the project is 24 feet in width and no parking will be permitted
within the entrance area.
A traffic signal is not presently warranted at the
newly revised intersection of West Sacramento Avenue and Highway
32. The intersection is under the jurisdiction of the City
Of Chico and Caltrans; there are no current plans for signalizing
v. intersection
k » e� �µQuantity Impact -
Prebe.k�L runoff on the project site for
a storm with a 10 -yea., is approximately 5 cubic feet
per second (cfs). When 1 q zt is fully developed, the
same storm will produce al. a:ldi•L: or,. -4,' 2 5 cfs for a total of
7.5 cfs. The majority of the prase_-wL , r,,unoff is
contained on the site and percolates into :aa.» ;;.~sib, Runof`f
does not presently reach Big Chico Creek,
Big Chico Creek's flow is regulated by flood gates
at the Hooker Calc recreation area. These gates allow a maximum
inflow through Chico of 1500 cfs Additional drains downst:reoi
from the flood gates increase the flow to approximately 1600
cfs in the vicinity of this project. The project's drainage
discharge of a maximum of 10.9 ofs during a 100 -year freauency
storm does not significantly change Big Chico Creek's
characteristics. The discussion of downstream flooding
contained in the Big Chico Creek Estates t.I.R, applies to
thisjro ect also. Flooding, when it occurs, is caused by
p
the rise of the Sacramento River and not by excessive discharge

2. There will be a net increase in stormwater runoff.
3. There will be an increase in demand for public services
including schools and recreation facilities.
4. The project will increase the local energy demand
for operation of uti,liti s, motor vehicles, etc.
5. There will be an increase in local traffic flow with
a possible Increase in congestion on West Sacramento Avenue.
6. Some degradation of water quality in Big Chico Creek
may occur from storm drainage runoff.
MITIGATION MEASURES PROPOSED_T MINIMIZE ADVERSE IMPACTS
1. Widen and improve West Sacramento Avenue along the
project frontage to Butte County Standard -RS -2-A.
2. Install grease and sediment trap in drainage system
to reduce the possibility of water degradation in Big Chico
Creek.
3. Building permits for residences will be subject to
any school mitigation fees established by Butte County Ordinance
enacted prior to the filing of applications for building permits
unless a Community- Facilities Act- of 1982 District is created,,

ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
1 No Project:
The land could,'15e kept in agricultural use, although
not necessarily as an orchard. The present orchard does not
produce sufficient income to justify its retention. Other
agricultural uses such as kiwi production, walnut production
or row crops could be realized on this land. The nearby
encroachment of residential dwellings maker agricultural use
of the land undesirable. Ensuing dust and pesticide sprays
that are a necessary part c, farming are not compatible with
relatively dense residential uses nearby.
The developer has performed. a market survey for the
type of residence that he proposes to build. He has determined
that there is presently a shortage in the Chico Area of detached,
single family dwellings with common area mal�tenance.
2i Conventional. Subdivision_:
This alternative would require lots that could support
an individual septic system and meet the lot design criteria
of the Subdivision ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance. Aini,mum
parcel size would be 65 feet wide: and probl ably approximately
1/4 acre in area. Street widths would be 40 feet from curb
face to cuzb face, instead of the proposed 24 feet to 34 feet.
Resulting densities would be 4 DU/AC-or Less or approximately
56 units at the most. A private road subdivision in the urban
area will yield the same densities. if the project would be
connected to a sanitpyy sewer system, lot sizes could be as
small as 6500 square foot resulting in densities of approximately
5 D7/AC or 10 units.
3. Spl.t Duplex Subdivision
If such a project used individual septic Systems,
the resulting densities would be the same as a conventional
subdivision using septic systems, ur no More than ab( 4

A development of this nature utilizing a commonly
owned and maintained septic system could yield the maximum.

be used to minimize 1.,:-ts on neighboring properties:

unit residential development on property located on the south
side of West Sacramento Avenue, approximatel�r 400 feet west
of Oak Lawn Avenue in Chico. he proposed area of development
was approximately 15 acres yielding a density of 4.47 dwelling
units per acre The density, style and concept of the project
is similar to the Waterford subdivision located immediately
west of the current project site. T1,e attached environmental
assessment was prepared for the original Waterford project and
is sufficient for consideration of this project, An environ-

Subjectr
Caltrans, District'3, has reviewed the supplemental EIR for the 123 -lot
subdivision wrest of Rigluay 32 Rno;4 as Swallowtail Subdivision. This
subdivision is adjacent to the Big Chico Creeps Estate €lubdivisicn, for which a
previous EiR,has been prepared.
We are concerned about the --Lurulative traffic impacts As a result of this and
other� Bions, as iftitified in Item 6, on Page 8b, parti.cul.arly as it
re to Highway 32 traffic. As this area contimes to develop, Highway 32
w7w experience more congestion. We ow.cur with the teed for a traffic study
which addresses these problems and possible saltations, and we, urge the County
and/or the City of Chico to include Highway 32 in this study.

STAPP RESPONSE TO STATE
CLEARINGHOUSE REVIEW
CONCERN: Cumulative impacts on Highway 32 will cause
additional congestion on Highway 32. Either City or
County should conduct a traffic study for the Chico Area
which includes analysis of impacts on Highway 12.
RESPONSE: J.H.K. and Associates has prepared a report
entitled "Chico UrbFn Area Transportation Study", dated
Novemb,7r 1982.. The report addresses the anticipated
congestion that will be generated by tbo area near West
Sacramento Avenue. ?resent tra.Ffic volume on Fighway 32
between West Sacramento avenue and west Second Street is
approximately 15,000 vehicles per day. Thus, Highway 32
presently provides a ''D" level of service and is at 93%
of capacity.
The report anticipates that t%e volume will increase to
21,200 vehicles per day by the ,year 2000 ae,d 27,300 vehicles
per day at full I,uil,d out in the Chico Area (population
estimated at 170,894). The report estimated ,full build'
out occurring in 2032.
The report further recommends that;Nighway 32 be widened
to a 5 -lane facility with°bike lanes on each side. This
widening is scheduled for a 10-20 year time frame. The
widened roadway would provide a "B" level of service for
vehicular traffic anticipated -in the year 2000.
The report examines two methods of financing the improve-
ments, i.e., assessment districts and developer fees. ft
concludes that this area (West Sacramento Avenue) not, be
included in such a distriot.
The developer fee recommended in the report ;is $1120 per
unit, and, if the fee schedule is adopted by the County of
Butte, their it would be appropriate for the developer to
contribute the tee. _.
The City of Chico has officially accepted the report but has
not adopted any measures to implement the report to date.

SUBJECT' Environmental Analysis for the Shastan Company Rezone to
PA-,C Rotone 84-3 AP 45-25.3, 45-20-72
DATE: July 2s, 1983
This project is a Rezone from A-SR (Agricultural-Suburban
Residential) to PA-C (Planned. Area-Closter) to allow a 47
unit residential development on property located on the
south sine of Nest Sacramento. Avenue, approximately 400 feet
west of Oak Lawn Avenue, Chaco, The proposed area of develop-
ment is approximately 10 acres yielding a density of 4,7
dwelling units per acre, The density, style and concept of
the project is similar -to the Waterford subdivision located
immediately west of the current project site. The attached
environmental assessment: was prepared for the original
Waterford project and is sufficient for consideration of this
project. An environmental impact report was required for
that original project and likewise will be for this project;
It was found that most of t,ie impacts were addressed adequately
in the environmental impact report, for the Rig Chico Creels
Estates project, anda supplement was required for Waterford
to answer additional questions. A neer vipplement, including
a fiscal analysis, similar to the origin.l supplement and
fiscal analysis, w4.11 be required for this current project.

22. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
a. Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
j elimi!'%te a plantor animal com-
munity, reduce the -number of restrict
the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal nor eliminate important
examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
b. noes the project have the'potential
to achieve short term benefits to
the detriment of publicly adopted
Tong-term.environmental goals?.
c. Does the project have impacts which
are i,rdividually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? (a project
may impact on two of more separate
resources where the impact on each
resource is relatively small, but
where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment is

d. Does the project have environmental
t effects which wil cause substantial
adverse effects on human being ,

ITEM # 33
Subject property is basically level :end planted with 40-50 year i
old almond trees. They have been sadly neglected by the previous
owners for Bpproximateiv the last ten years. The soil is excellent
sandy viva loam antes the wildlife are the usual inhabitants of Oe—
glected orchards such as dove, quail, pheasant aitd ground squir;"-1s.
The existing structure is a dilapidated old farm house t.iat will, be
torn down. The most significant cultural or historic aspect of the
property is a single, huge and boautifull bl,,,,k walnut at the entrance
to the property an Gacramento avenue. The trey is approximately 7.5
feet wide at the b8o0, 100 years old and planted by General John Bidwell.
Unfortunately, Bidwell plantod them too close to the road. Instead
of cutting the tree down, 1 am proposing, that we are willing to pay
a tree surgeon the x,.580 necca_ssary to Make it healthy again, if the
cdunty will allow the tree to remain. It will: take up what would
normally have been a parking spot an jacromento Avenue.

PROPOSED H1Y,iEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
The private drive, drainage systems, sidewalks, street lights,
entry and all front yards will, be landscaped and maintained by the
Homeowners Association. Each homeowner will buy a building site and
negotiate his own construction loan to build one of our models with
us being the builders. Their Sack yards will be completely fenced
with seven foot tall grape stake fences acid they may landscape. Chess
rear yards however they wish.
There will be covenants, conditions, and restrictions against
anything that would be detrimental to the quality of life at

XXX. DISCUSSXON OF ENVXRONMENTAL EVALUATXON
This proposal is a PA -C (Planned Area-Clustf,,r) Rezone project to
create a 98 unit -residential development. Single family detached
housing will account for all 98 units.
The proposed development is
located on 20,74 acres in the western fringe of the Chico Urban Area,
The project fronts on West Sacramento Avenue, 900 feet + west of Oak
Lawn Avenue, west Chico. 'T%e propose, density othe development is
4.76 dwelling units per acre. Present plans are to develop the project
in 3 phases as shown on the plot plan.
The site currently is in agricultural orchard use (almond with some
walnut trees), as are some of the surrounding properties. Residences
are dispersd� along Bidwell Avenue to the east and west, adjacent to
the Project site. Unit #3 of the Big Chico Creek Estates Subdivision
borders the property on the west. Rural resideiiees occur along West
Sacramento Avenue to the north-northwest, Multiple family residential
coTplexes, urban -density single family residences, and commercial uses
exist east,of the site, h to h mile away in the Highway 52 corridor
A°:Oa. This West Sacramento Avenue area is experiencing an urban
residential growth trend that has already been established. Several
subdivision development projects on nearby properties have received
approval from the County in recent years. -

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (continued)
3. Reduction of agricultuTally productive land. The project site
currently is in agricultural use(almond orchard with some walnut
trees; formerly a prune orchard). The Vina fine sandy loam soil is
a highly productive prime agricultui-al soil (Class I - Soil Conserva-
tion Service Classification). Residential use of the site Will remove
20.74 acres of cropland from agricultural use. The property lies
predominantly within the Chico Urban Area.
4 Reduction of Orchard wAd wildlife habitat. Residential develop-
ment on 1 6 acre + parcels will result in removal of most orchard
trees and reductio- olf wild)"fe populations that currently utilize
the orchard for habitat.
5. Land use alteratioi: and urbanLroowwt._h_.. The site lies within the
ow density residential designation of the County General Plan
and entirelyoutside the e City of Chico's proposed urban expansion
area. The site also lies outside the City's Sphere of influence
(primary) secondary and ultimate).
This development (in conjunction with other already approved subdivis-
ions) will increase the residential popi,,lation density and use of the
Local area. The property l.ies.e.ntirel.y outside the City of. Chico's
proposed urban expansion area. Continued urban development pressures
may bt exerted on other lands in the area (including agricultural
t lands further west.) by this project.

substantially increased vehicular use of West Sacramento Avenge and
the other area st:weets The increase from this individual development
is estimated to be 785 +ADI`. Cumulatively, the increase from the
total development proposed for the area to date is estimated to be
approximately 4800 ADT, which is about a 180% increase over the pre-
vious traffic l,oal of 1500-1600 ADT on West Sacramento Avenue. Access
to the development is platned from Nest Sacramento Avenue via one
street into the site. The property fronts on Bidwell Avenue and access
from the south is possible 091 that street though not desired by the.
Butte County Public Works Department. However, the applicant deslgned
the devd1opment plan with the intention of prevent ng traffic impacts
on Bidwell Avenue from this subdivision. Bidwell Avenue is a narrow
winding rural toad adjacent to Big Chico Creek, which is bordered by
riparian vegetation and large oak trees, any adaitional traffic ori
Bidwell.. Avenue may have adverse effects on that area. Therefore,
all traffic is proposed to be ,:hatineled onto West Sacramento Avenue
which provides direct access to Highway 32 and thence into Chico.
The Public Works Depirtmen:t has plans to widen and improve 'Sacramento
Avenue, between Glenwood Avenue and Highway 32, within the next 2 years.
Traffic circulation problems within the development dna in the sure
rounding area and congestion at certain intersections (particularly
at the West Sacramento Avenue accoss locations) may result from the
residential use considering the numbr.r of Lots being created. A

traffic study should address any potential circulation problems and
possible alternatives.
West Sacramento Avenue and the other roads in the area are relatively
narrow rural streets with no urban improvements (curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, or shoulders) and With light to mod.srate traffic loads.
Urban residential use of the site will impact these currently non-
urban roads with significantly increased traffic and the need for
further improvement along the entire length of West Sacramento
Avenue from Glenwood Avenue to Highway 32.

Additional development will a.se demands for public services
and for utility extensions in a �,, r )heral area of the Chico Urban
Area, The Chico Unified Schooi District indicates the subdivision
will have a serious impact on their ability to "house" students, and
when combined with students generated by other projects approved
in the area, would place Rosedale tlementary School and Chico Junior
High School beyond their capacities. Tf building permit applications
for residences in tha project are made ;ubject to any school mitiga-
tion fees establisheJ prior to the filing of building permit applica-
tions, or if a Community Facilities District is formed prior to the
issuing of permits, then some m4tigations of impacts would be
achieved. Comments received fr.m C.A.R.D. are very similaro but no
mitigation measures have been proposed. Extension of California
Water Service Company water lines in conjunction with the Big. Chico
Estates Subdivision project is required for water setvicr Thirteen

not be incompatible with the airport land use, considering the
distance from the site to the airfield.
5. Indte4sed use of, enorgX and other natural resources. The 96
Midences EKat Will ultirnately b6 Gveloped on M project site
as a result of this land division proposal will utilize considerable'
amounts of electricity and natural gas, rid of building materials,
including non-renewable petroleum product. for paving. Additiondlly,
this number of 'residences will generate considerable use of vehicular
fuels.
10. Archaeological, resources, The Property has the potential to
yield subsurlace archaeological resources due to the p-roximi.ty
of the sjt4 to Big Chico creek. A survey of the westerly portion of
the property was conducted in June 1581 and clearance recbmended.
The easterly portion of the site is similar in character,

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
0 I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and n NEGATIVE DECLARATION
a s 11606mmended..
Q I find' ';hat although the proposed nroject
ld have
significant effect on 'the environment, there uwill nota
be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on An attached sheet
have been added to th,e project. A NEGATIVE DECL71RATION
Is PECOMMENDEb.
I find the proposed p project MAY have a significant
effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.

ALTEANATIVE5 TO THE PROJECT
l,. Conventional Subdivision: This alternative would require lots
that could support an individual septic system and meet the lot
design criteria of the :Subdivision Ordinance and the Zoning
Ordinance. Nlinimum parcel size would be 65 feet wide and probably
approximately 14 acre in area. Street widths would be 40 feet
from curb face to curb face, instead of the proposed 24 feet to
34 feet. Resulting densities would be 4 DU/AC or less or
approximately 83 units at the most. A private road subdivision
in the urban area will, yield the same densities. If the project
could be connected to a sanitary sewer system, lot sizes could.
be as small as 6500 square feet resulting in densities of approxi"
mately 5 DU/AC or 104 units.
2. Split Duplex Subdivision: If such a project used individual
septic systems, the resulting densities would"be the same as a
conventional 8Ubdiv*ystem
siW using septic s��, or no more than
about 4 DU/AC. If the project was connected to a sanitary, sewer
systeem, then lots could be as small as 4000 square feet resulting
in a ro-�M
�atel 7 DU/AC or 145 units maximum:
3. Clustered Dwelling Units With Common Recreation Area/Open Space
(PA -C): A development of this nature utilizing a commonly owned
and maintained septic system could Yield the maximum density
allowed by the General Plan designation of 6 DU/AC and provide
common facilities such as a swimming pool, tennis courts, barbeque
pits; RV storage, etc. Clustering could also be used to minimize
impacts on neighboring properties.

Butte CoiAnty Fire Department "nuc to the development ort the west side
C«F. D. is requesting the developer to provide one-half acre
fire station site acceptable to the Fire Department."
PLANNING DEPARTMENT RESPONSE
The developer is indicating that the provision of the one-ha1C acre
fire site is not acceptable. (See attached response from Shastan Company;
Inc., dated November lb, 1983,) Other subdivisions approved in the area
have provided such things as well sites. A fire station is needed on
the left side of Chaco to provide services to the expanding residential
population there. This project site is one of the'last areas where
provision of such a site may be feasible,
COMMbNT:
The City of Chico recommends that ful.J. urbin improvements be teriuired on.
j all street Ir" ontages, The Nest Sacramento access should be moved easterly,
away from the IVa.terrord No. 1 access, and an additional access be provided
to Bidwell Avenue to improve circulation,
PLANNING DEPARTMENT MiSPON8t*
Tito project will be conditioned to provide street improvements as per
the conditions recommended by the Subdivision Committee. A revised map
has been received by the Planning Department moving the access to West
Sacramento Avenue is-tho cast away from the Wate---ford No. I access; Tito
secondd access to West Sacramento Avenue will be via the Waterford No: 1
project to the west.

Re Waterford No. 2
Response to Butte Coun liirc. I} artment
C',oncera c Due to increased development in the aroa, the. Butte County Are
Depa tcrent is requesting that a half acre fire station site be
Provided.
Response, The developer, Shasi an Company, Inc. is aware of the fire depart:-
maents 1 .need ior a West side station. The service they provide to
the cottnrtuutyy as highly re8ardt<'d by us and niany others
Lbr-ort-unately, we do not have the resources to give a 1/2acre
lot to the cOrmnrnity, Also, we feel: that it would be very in-
appropriate to place a (tire s t ati.on yin the midcll.e of a esi
neIl+:ernakives e,ti.ni al
ighborhood when much better 'st on Highway Which is a cocrmercial area.
If t:h :ire department shoulct decide to put a fire station in a
residential neighborhood, they should conply with Article tF n.
the Sitbeiivi.sion crap Act. Note also that there is no provision
for dedication of land in a rezone appl.i.cation,

Dear mr. Stxoeter
The State Clearinghouse submitted the above named draft Fnvironmental Impact Ret -,ort
(EIR) to selected state agencies for review. The review period is closed and the ecru
ments of the individual agency(es) is(ate) attached. if you would like to discuss
their concerns and recommendations, please contact the staft from the appropriate
agency(ies)
r When preparing the final DIR, you must include all: ccmments and responses (CDMA
E Guidelines, Section 15146) The certified = must be considered in the decisin-r
making pLocess for the project. in addition, we urge you to respond directly to the
commenting agency(ies) by writing to them, including the State Clearinghouse nL=ber on
all corre8por4ence.
A 1981 Appe, lake Court decision in C earrry v V.� nes ,auG (118 Cal.. App. 36
348) clarified requirements for responding to review comment.5. Specifically, the
court indicated that ccftments must be addressed in detail, giving reasons why the
54ic ccxtuments and suggestions were not accepted. The responses must Shaw 'facts rs
of overriding sighs' icarfte which required the suggestion or ccmmnt to be rejected.
Rtspn.nses to contents must not be conclusory stateRents but must be supported by Win-=
pirical or experimental data, scientific authority or explanatory information of any
kind. The court further said that the resp.,nses must be a good faith, reasoned
analysis4
in the event that the project is approved without adequate mitigation of Significant
effects, the lead agency must make written findings for each significant effect and it
must supcort its actions with a written statement ox overriding considerations for
each unmitigated significant effect (=A Guidelines Section 15088 and 15385)
If the project requires discretionary approval ictw, any state agency, the Notice of
Determination ust be filed with the sec:retary Loin ?tesources,, as well as with the
County Clerk. Please contact Price W,ilkor at (916) 445-0613 if you have any questicrs
