The present zoning is A-5, adopted in 1980. The Land Use Plan Map of the Butte County General Plan desi4nates this property as Agricultural -Residential. The Safety Element indicates that this project is in a high to extreme fire hazard area. There are no specific or community plans for the area. Consistent parcel size under the Agricultural -Residential General Plan designation is 20 to 40 acres. One- to 20 -acre parcels are conditionally consistent provided that five conditional Criteria are met. As noted on the Conformance Report, the division does not comply with the General Plan. Areawide circulation is not up to County standard. Round Valley Ranch Lane is a narrow road with few if any shoulders. Currently, more than 30 parcels take access off of Round Valley Ranch Road, with another three proposed. County Code Section 20-133 requires the provision of adequate circulation to all properties; No cul-de-sac shall be permitted in a rural area which serves more than 20 parcels where each parcel is less than 20 acres in size. As such, the division does not comply with the Subdivision`° Ordinance. The Circulation Element requires that all road systems, both public and private, shall provide for the safe evacuation of residences and adequate access for fire and other emergency services by providing at least two means of emergency access to an interconnected collector system. There is only gine ingress and egress for all'the parcels along Round Valley Ranch Road, For safe access and adequate circulation to be provided; a second access po5r,,4; is necessary. It 'was suggested. that the applicant contact t`;j,-, property owner immediately south who fronts on Meadowsong Roa,:, There is an approved Tentative Parcel. Map on that property (Walter Zahnd) Which could be revised to show access up through the Pena property: By Providing access through to Meadowsong, access and circulation would be provided in accordance with County code. on prior developments in thu area (Michael Ferguson TPM; AP 55-25-115 and Jerome Niswonger TM AP 55-25-116), the Board of 'Super- visors was asked for a decision on whether circulation needs to be provided on 'Round Valley Ranch Road. At 'their meeting of November 10 1983, the Board of Supervisors made a motion as follows; 'Instruct the Advisory Agency hot to approve t Report an Albert Pena TPM, AP 55-50,03 February 11, 1987 Page 2. more maps in the area until ,public road approach is constructed and some provision for circulation, is resolved." Circulation has not been offered as part of this map application. Fire hazards on site are rated as high to extreme., Access by emergency vehicles is thwarted by the condition of Round 'Valley Ranch Road.' The applicant has, however, offered the following fire mitigation measure- "Provide approved fire connection, and access to any swimming pools constructed. Install interior sprinkler systems on all residential structures and provide:` pressurized water system." This mitigation measure enhances fire protection on the property. The property'is under the approach zone of the -Paradise Airport. The. project has been 'reviewed by the ALUC staff, who had no concerns provided Mitigation Measures 7 and 8 were implemented. Approval of the map is recommended, subject to the following conditions 1'1. Provide two-way traversable access to each parcel from Clark Road. .2_ Provide circulation pursuant to Section 20-133 of the Subdivision Ordinance. 3. Limit all road r,,uts to 2 feet and reseed with native grasses to limit �_hrosion. 4.

Mendonsa Assistant Director' Butte County Department of Public Worcs 7 County Center Drive Qroville, CA 95965 Lear Mr. Mendonsa: The Department of Fish and Game has reviewed Albert Peha►s Tentative Parcel MaP (TPM), a proposal to divide about 12 acres into two parcels about 5 acres each (AP 55-50-03). is located just South of Paradise. The site is withinhthropert} designated winter range of the East Tehama deer herd. subdivision and development of the parcel 'will adversely affect migratory deer use. subdivision of lands into smaller parcels has an adverse impact upon migratory deer use of their ranges.. As lands become divided in o�arcel� i sural crest this impact becomes more -ler than 20-a evident.Deer use ebecnfines impaired, migratory movement affected, availabilityand he forage drops below that level necessary to Sustain herd numbers. As parcels become 5 -acres or less, the lands are no longer considered as being able to support migratory d6or use, In order to mitigate impacts upon ,migratory deer, habitat must be improved and protected elsewhere to compensate for the loss of viable deer, ranges. subdivisions have adversely affected more than 40 percent of the critical winter range in Butte County. In an effort to resolve the subdivision/deer conflict in Butte County, the Department has recommended ire a December 21, 1986 report a series of actions for the Board of'Supervisors to implement (see copy previously sent to you)• Tho subject TPM site is within an area where further- development can occur if mitigation measures are implemented. The TPM site is within a portion of the East Tehama deer herd that has been affected by parcels less than 20-acre8. Therefore# we would not object to the approval of the TPM if the following mitigation measures are implemented: 1• The TPM be subject to a deer mitigation fee, to be adopted by the Board of supervisors. t � n ,fir S I 4 *64'�` r _, _ yLL. , yam"'_• •w LAND OF NATURAL WEALTH AND BEAUTY PLANNING 00MMISSION ` 7 COUNTY CENTER DRIVE - OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95965.3397 PHONCsxxwAwx 538-7601 January 9, 1987 Albert Pena 6307 Azalea Lane Paradise, GA 95969 R06 Tentative Parcel Map AP 55-X50-03 Log No. 86-11-25-03, Dear 'Mr.Pena An initial study of your proposed project, a land division of 12 acres to create two parcels, indicates potentially adverse I to the environment (refer to the enclosed environmental_ checklist, Appendix F).

The Department of Fish and Game t-ill be Provided with an opportunity to comment on the p�-o,Ject and recommend 'appropriate mitigation measures a; The property is designated Agricultural-Residentlal on the General Plae Consistent parcel size is 20 to 40 acres. Conditionally cons stent parcel sizes range from 1 to 20 acros, provided that five crlter'ia can be'met. These criteria are as listed on the General Plan Conformance Report. As noted on the Conformance Report prepared for this project, two of the five conditional et"iteria have not been met, and the project does not comply with the Butte County General P'l an These criteria arot adequate fire facilities, arid road capacity and maintenahce. The two issues are interrelated. 1Ob: Area, roads are not sUff1cIontly wide to Provide adequate maneuverabltity for emergency vehicles. The 1985 Uniform r1ire Code establishes 20 meet as the mini-mum unobstructed width for safe access of equipment and vehicles CSect`Ion 10.2117»e3 11� Approval of the map and subsequent dove" -pment will represent grcwth in a rural area 'isolated by Its luck Of circulation. 18a,c,f! Twenty vehicle trips daily can be expected with ful'i buildout of the project. Though this number is not significant In and Of its 'impact on Round Valley Ranch Road couldbei Round Valley Ranch Road has been constructed to minimum standards. More than 80 parcels now take access off of Round: Valley Ranch Road. This is contrary to County Code Section 817-1sa requlring adequate circulation to ail properties. Currently no cul--de-sac shall be permitted in a rural. area which serves more than 20 parcels where each Parcel is less than 20 acres:. As such, this divislon does not comply with the Subdivision Ordinance, The Circulation Element of the Butte County r3'neral Plah requires that y all road systems provide for the safe evacuatlon of residences and adequate access for fire and emergency services by providing at least For the 'of an to be found . two meanssof einergenc�y access to an intercohnected collector system consistent with the Circulation Element and Subdivision Ordinance) a second access to Clark Rodd is necessar-y. A Tentative Parcel Map application has been filed on the property immediately south which fronts on Meadowsong Drive, h new access road has been proposed to serve thy, parcels which would come r!ithin 285 feet Of the southeast property corner4 c'ince the reap has tint yet been recorded, it would be timely to Contact the property owner concerning extending the road and right of 1sa of the prOPOsed road: The lack of cirtulation it a significant impact and must be resolved. The issue has been taken before the Boarrd of Superrvitors for a decision bM previbus maps. At thelr meeting of November 11 19e8) the Board made a motion as follows: Instruct the Advisory Agency not to aPprov:e more maps in the area until ;- public road approach is constructed and tomb prowislon for circulation is resot'ved," The public road approach referred to Is one that is necessary at the lntersectlon of Round Valley Ranch Road and Clark 'Rood. Provision for -7- this public road approach and other improvements required by Cal Trans will be made a condition of this map. '13e: The Property is within the approach zone of the P4radise Airport. Residential &1-4�Dpment may conflict with air traffic because, of complaints of Wr,.ise, dust, vibration, etc. In other areas of the County, avigation easements are recorded with the neighboring airport as a mechanism to provide public notice of the potential for noise, dust$ vibration, etc. The avl,qatIon easement also protects the airport from complaints. The staff of the Airport Land Use Commission has recommended -that a height limit of 100 feet be placed on this property. This limit would apply to treeso antennas, etc. 14a., Fire hazards on site are rated, as high to extreme. Access to area properties is affected by the narrow width of Round Valley Ranch Road and lack of a secondary access. Mitigation measures should be offered to reduce fire impacts including provisions fcjr pressurized water, Installation of interior sprinklers, use of otonflammable roofing and siding, and GDF --approved. drafting connections on all new Wei Is. 14b,f: All location dependent governmental services are extiemely limited In this area. No police patrols are conducted. Service is provided on an emergencyp oh -call basis only., 16c: Water availability will have to be demonstrated for the Health Depbrtmeht4 Water quality should be tested prior to domestic use. 16et Oraln000 should be provided along the privates, drIvo,,,48ys. As 'noted under Item 3) where grades exceed 6% the ditches should be rock lined.

Smith District Encroachment Pettit Engineer ws3bdpw TO Butte County Advisory Agency FROM: Planning Director' SUBJECT Report on Tentative Parcel Map for John Cuseo on AP 55-25-36 DATE: December ,23, '1986 This is a_Proposal to divide 40 acres to create two 10 -acre parcels and one 20-acreparceli. The present zoning is U (Unclasslfted). The Land Use Plan Map of the Butte County General Plan designates this area els Agricultural Residential, and the Safety Element indicates that this project is in a highi to extreme fire hazard area. Consistent parcel size under the Agricultural Residential General Plan deslonation is ;30-40 acres. One to 20 -acre parcels are conditionally consistent r m; y4ided that five conditional criteria! are met. As noted on the e�r,rr f'cara�,tt rr.e report, the division does not comply with the General Plan. Areaw i de c rcu'3 ."1°w ir: Is not up to County standard. Two other criteria are adequate fire t"acilii"tles, and access to commercial services and schools, which are not met because of the condition and length of the road.

No cul-de-sac shall be perry i ttt- q in a rural area which serves more than 20 parcels Whet^e each parcel Is 'lei*,, than 20 acres. As such, the division does not comply with the Subdivision 01-- i i n-iince The Circulation Element requires that all road systems, both public and Or ivate, shall provide for the safe evacuation of residences and adequate access for fire and other emergency services by providing at least two means of emergency access to an interconnected collector system. There is only, one Ingress and egress for all the parcels along. Round Valley Ranch Road For safe i4,,ccess and adequate circulation to be provided, a second access point is necessary. Round Valley Ranch' Road could be extended down to Butte College, or looped around and back out to Clark Division along Round Valley Ranch Road does not compl.y with the Butte County Circulation Element,. On prior deve 1 opments in the area (Michael Ferguson TP141, AP 55-25-115 and Jerome Niswonger TPM, AP 55"25-116), the Board of Supervisors Was asked for a decision on Whether circulatlon needs to be provided on Round Vai°ley Ranch Road At their meeting of Nov tuber 1, 1983, the Board of Supervisors made a motion as fol'lovitt "Instruct the Advisory Agency not to approve more maps in the area until public road approach Is constructed and some provision for circulation is resolved." C h-dulation has not been offered as part of this map application. Piro hazards on site are rated high to extreme. Access by emergency vehicles is made more difficult by the installation of two gates across found Valley Ranch Road, its narrow width, lack of turn-aroUnds, and water storage. w r Recommend approval subject t%.� the followihg conditions 1 Provide two-way traversable access to each parcel from Clark Road (Highway 191 > .
