This trend toward urban develop meat in -the Area will have a significant effect on agricultural land. The total loss of such land from the four developmadswill be LI -8 „ acres. This proposal, in conjunction with the other subdivisions proposed in. the vicinity, will significantly alter the use of the ;landand the density and growth rate of the area, resulting in a change'from a very low density rural. --residential and agricultural use, to a suburban low density resideirtial use.

Popu- lation density and growth rate in. the area will be sign iican.tly increased due to this proposal and others it the area. These develop- ments may be growth inducing due to t:ne trend being established and utilities being extended .into the area (especially water Lines). 13(a, c & f).- The proposal will result in the generation .of additional vehicular movement in the area; on Shasta Avenue I a rural--reea.dential ooll.ector s'tree't (current traffic load, 768 ADT (A )T tz average daily traffic), 197?1,,�P iblic Works count, estimated increase as a result of the proposal: 70 - 100 ADT per day). This traffic will be` °i addition to the increased traffic trom other subdivision developments on Shasta Avenue.

Nearest water line in the area extends to Paso Grande Court on Shasta near the Esplanade ,(approxi mately ` 1)000 feet from the project site) . Theref oro, Mater line extensions down Shasta Avenue will be required for project develop- menti unless wells are used, 16(d)& I7: Septic systems are proposed for this subdivision. The area lies outside the Citi' of Chico's sewer system and tAFCO Spheres of Influence boundary. Therefore, the city Will not provide ewers; they do not want to extend sewer service into outlying .as where suburhwj growth would be encouraged.

The 0.78 ache property is located, along the northern side of Lassen Avenue east of Cussick Avenue' n the northern Chico U1^ban"'Area. The soil is nearly level V7na fine sandy loam, possessing goad soil percolation characteristics, An existing residence and barn lie on the western portion of the site. A small family orchard lies on the property. The sur- rounding area is predominantly in low and medium density residen- tial use with portions of older orchard lands dispersed through- out the area. Single-gamily residences exist along Lassen Avenue in the neigh'borhoo�l, and multiple-family residential development; (Northwood Commons) exists to the southwest on Lassen Avenue. Orchard lands with minimal residential development lie to the ( west beyond Cussick Avenue. The Butte County General Plan designates the area for low density residential usa, 1-4 dwellings per acre: Zoning is :A-2. The pro- party lie's within the .',�has,tari Union Drairage Assessment District, with drainage facilit4s X60`0 feet north of Lassen Avenue.
