The existing housing in the Contiguous areas is mostly of a 'murrti- family nature to this project is not expected to create substwitial controversy among nearby residents; 13(a): This proposal wou, q Y �°add :about 510 vehicular trips per day to the average daily traffic,, ,s.iunrts in the vicinity. There are ho' traffic counts available fo�`" east side of Shasta Avenue. itecent traffic r the counts in the area show an aveeage.daily traffic (ADT) of 768 on Shasta Avenue just west of TheEsplanade and an ADT rf 10,622 on The Esplanade to the south of Shasi;a Avenue Road i rriproVements would be needed to mitigate the effects of increased traffic, on Shasta Avenue. Extelision of the access road to the north and thence back to The Esplanady ma,y be needed for adequate traffic circulation• 1,3(b) Six off-street parking spaces per triplex or a total of 162 spaces would neer' to be fptovided in accord, with the zohing ordinance. ( mentioned in the discussion of Item 13a., extension As • • of(the access road to the north and thence back to The Esplanade may d be needed for adeq►uato traffic cit-ejulation, `there may be a "substah- tial impact on S►`jlhsta A#d.hue without the provision of an alternate Appendix r page 8b of 9 y route to and from The Esplanade. One '' aiss bi p i lity that should be studied is a road connection to Commercial Avenue whichlies to the northwest of the project siO,, and presently provides access to The Esplanade for several commercial enterses 13(f): Traffic hazards are likely to increase with more vehicular, traffic using the local roads. Sidewalks are planned within the sub division for pedestrians. Road improvements including widening and the installation of proper sighing would help mitigate the traffic haza,l°ds 14(a-f): The project would increase the demand for public services in the Chico Urban Area. A substantial alteration of governmental services is not expisyted, doe in p,�r,t to the closeness of the pro- jerct site to the City of Chicol r Eire hydrants spaced at proper it,tervals Would be required by the Butte County Fire Department. The closest available county fire stations for- fire priatectioh are the Nord Fire Station on Highway 99E to the north and the North Chico Fire Station on Conasset Road to the east, There may be 40 students or more that would be sent to schools of the Chico Unified School Di trice. The number of students would vary depending on the triplex tenants. Shastr School or Partridge School would be attended by ,students in knnder,arte n to 6th grade, (a); The amoUht of fuel"a'nd energy gy consumedas part of *he project would be considerable on a long-term basis though it would be compar:w able to similar multi-family developments near an urban area, Energy. conservations measures should be incorporated into the project design' and implementation. Alternatives that sfid0d'ibe eniployed.wher,e f.ea sible include site and building orientation in relationsto the sun overhangs to shade windows,' the use of double pane Windows, insula q pp iAbdes in the triplexes, use of energy-efficient tloh in excess of .ode re u rentents, ;and ti'�e a 16(c): California Watear Service Comp avai any is Table 4e provide water 'subject to a,pproval by the Public Utilities Comm.issiot1 16(e), Storm water drM nage would be handled by facilities of the Lassen Avenue Drainage District 17(a): Soil data most be provided tothe'Environmental Health Depart.- meht to verify that the proposed septic tanks and leach lines are feasible« The Hina loam soils are generally very good for leach- fields, However, conirirmation .from the Envi�rohmental Health Depart- ment of the proposed subdivi;i io')A-., design and density is necessary. 13: The proposal would resivlt in a change to the visual ,clwaracter of the area as the almond OrIthard and open field are con ,Y ted n the tripleXe.s with related itopr61e1nents �,ppelidi u i= - page 8a of 9 f T 21, According to the Archaeology Lab at CSU„ Chico, there are no recorded arbhaeological sites on the property..
